Regional Chennai City Information Website

Regional Chennai City Information Website

I have been observing the advertisements of Ellamey.com (which means Everything in English) that were being advertised all over the city of Chennai for the past two months. I have been planning the website but for some reasons of availability of time and resources, this kept being delayed. Today I visited the website and just thought of sharing a few words as a review for the benefit of other readers and Chennaites as well.
  1. The West Mambalam based Invictus Technologies are behind the concept of this website called Ellamey.com.
  2. They seemed to address the needs and trying to fill the gaps of Chennaiites in different quarters like Matrimony, Outdoor Services, Astrology, Florists, Priests etc. But a few categories have data which are either too few or missing a few. But anyway since it is just starting of the concept, let us hope that they build up the information more.
  3. For those aspiring job seekers in Java and .NET willing to work on cutting edge web technologies, Ellamey.com is also throwing open avenues to work as they have outlined in thier careers page here.

Check out Ellamey.com for your requirements and needs in Chennai.

A Very Good Tamil Calendar

A Very Good Tamil Calendar

I just wanted to share about a very good Tamil calendar I came across sometime back in HosurOnline website. The calendar is presented in good scanned version of Tamil date calendar that we normally have in our homes. It shows the festivals, Rahu Kalam, Yama Kandam and Gulikai Kalam etc in Tamil itself for the better and quicker understanding of everyone.

Check it out at Tamil Calendar.

Let Us keep Sabarimala and Pampa Clean :: Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa


Let Us keep Sabarimala and Pampa Clean :: Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa

Starting with November 16, the Sabarimala temple witnesses the start of Mandala Pooja which runs upto December 26. They allow a four day gap and then January 1, 2008 will see the start of Makara Jyothi till the Makara Sankranthi sometime around January 15, 2008. I am sure, a lot of most interested Ayyappa devotees would be planning to start the Ayyappa Vratham even during this month itself. Towards this, I just thought of putting a few ground rules that would please the God very much invoking His most choicest of showers of blessings to one and all.

  1. Ayyappa (48-day) Observation -- Rules and Restrictions
  2. Neyyabhishekam -- The Significance

I would also like to draw the attention of readers to the dire need of keeping the temple areas clean and not to indulge in littering and dirtying the surroundings. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Let us try and achieve the extent of cleanliness that is possible from our physical and mental means as far as possible. Towards this, I would like to share an Orkut Community discussion on "Let us all keep Sabarimala and Pampa clean". Perhaps for those interested and having quite a lot of doubts on Sri Ayyappa Vratham and seeking clarifications, you may also consider joining in Sri Ayyappan YahooGroups, where a lot of Ayyappa devotees try and clarify the doubts of millions of devotees quite fast and clearly.

Vijayadasami :: Aksharabhyasam

Vijayadasami :: Aksharabhyasam
 
Today is Vijayadasami. I would also like to invite you to read an introduction about Vijayadasami here. The most common ritual during Vijayadasami is the Aksharabhyasam and also starting up of the tasks on that day. Interestingly this year Vijayadasami comes up on a Sunday (a weekly holiday) and hence I just thought I would drop in for a while and at least write some small Console Applications in C#.
 
I have also updated the 'My Zoho View' with a few more latest articles.
