I actually invited him to review the post sometime last month (in December, if I recall correctly). He called after that and appreciated for the good deep thought process. <BR/><BR/>He also quoted another interesting word 'Call them as <B>Parota Boys</B>'. In Tamil Nadu, you can see Parota is the most cheapest and unhygeniecally prepared in most tea stalls. The persons who prepare Parota also use the same broomstick to clean the floor and then dip it over the Parota Tawa. Perhaps sometime back, we were also discussing about <B><A HREF="http://viewsreviews.wordpress.com/2006/07/02/citibank-branch-or-kothu-paratha-center/" REL="nofollow">Kothu Paratha at Citibank</A></B><BR/><BR/>During the course of the talk he also recalled about one incident in my previous organization where he had openly scolded one of the other project manager guy since he was involving in shady activities and surreptiously supporting his 'favorites' for onshore and other promotional prospects. We all actually would admire him for this openness everywhere. He just called the other project manager "<EM>as not even fit for managing an idli shop</EM>".<BR/><BR/><B>Recent Example:</B><BR/><BR/>I have a very recent example in my near vicinity. A person used to involve in a sort of <B>Musical Cough</B>. I am not sure whether he is suffering from sort of Tuberculosis or just extrapolating some sort of behavioral attitude. I am just trying to match out whether this should also added as one of the ways in which envy gets expressed out. I am still doing a research on that. Perhaps if another reader has got exposure to this type of people, feel free to share across.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605962.post-2141529928862202692007-06-16T00:13:00.000-04:002007-06-16T00:13:00.000-04:00@Arjun,Thank you for dropping by and sharing your ...@Arjun,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for dropping by and sharing your views. Here are my responses to your comments.<BR/><BR/>First, I would like to thank you for visiting Aravinthan's weblog. Aravinthan has been my Technical Lead in my <A HREF="http://deepakvasudevan.blogspot.com/2004/03/life-at-c-s-software-11-august-2001-to.html" REL="nofollow">previous organization</A>. Nevertheless, even when the organization has currently become defunct, he is helping us time and again in all our technical lookups and clarifications. We all are greatly indebted to him in more ways than one. It is a great pleasure to see that this post of mine could contribute and compliment the social concern efforts of a really person of such a high calibre. <BR/><BR/>I also accept your views regarding the politicians making great booty over the reservations. After all that is politics right. They try to make the best booty in anything. <BR/><BR/>I do fondly recall the Anna University application form (the then admission process of 1995 in both Anna University and Department of Technical Education (DoTE) for Government Aided and Self-Financing colleges) that about four pages of the admission booklet would just enumerate through the list of community names for Backward Communities, Denotified Communities, MBC, SC, ST.<BR/><BR/>At the moment, my view on this is the following "We can not help out voicing concern over these political goons. I am not interested in pulling the discussions over this political topics in this weblog, which is serving as a valuable information platform. So let us divert the topic away from that political whirlpool. The beneficiaries of such illicit reservations should realize from within themselves the pleasure of winning by hardword and not by fleecing others. We can not straighten a dog's tail as a tamil proverb goes and so let us not waste time over that topic.". :)<BR/><BR/>I once again thank you for dropping by and sharing your valuable comments.Deepak Vasudevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07429751265327853903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605962.post-36723754073969844612007-06-16T00:03:00.000-04:002007-06-16T00:03:00.000-04:00This was the message I recieved from Mohan Chandra...This was the message I recieved from Mohan Chandran as an email comment.

Pained by second grade citizen. http://aravinthan.wordpress.com/2006/07/05/pained-i-am-a-second-grade-citizen-for-so-i-am-treated/<BR/><BR/>the politicains are so much giving support for the socalled low class people. i would says that politicians are the culprits who make them feel low class, backward communities. I am currently getting admission and I am trying for Anna University. in the anna university form there is one more thing called denotified communities. can these people do not have guts to face others in open competition? also as you say they have real negative face when they see brighter ones from who they label as open competion or forward communities. <BR/><BR/>these People seem to be suffering from some sort of hysteria on seeing persons who word hard to make progress and show negative face. <BR/><BR/>I thank you for bringing in a very philosophical post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605962.post-32679075618075842822007-06-10T02:34:00.000-04:002007-06-10T02:34:00.000-04:00Very good one.
