Whether, we have another birth or not, is a question of discussion among intellectuals and scientists. But, every one of us have a rebirth in this life itself, and it happens to every one of us. Read this and set right your life.

Important appeal to those who comment

I appeal to all the readers who are commenting, to make their comments with reference.

For example I receive a comment stating that the item no. 10 is not downloading or the item no 15 is going to a wrong song etc. I am not able to make out in which label the mistake is happening. I request you to make comment like item no 10 in M.M.Dhandapani Desikar is not downloading or going to some wrong file etc. I am not able to locate the error and rectify the mistakes in the absence of reference, out of my 450 upload, which continues to grow further.

Readers are requested to cooperate, lest you should not blame me that I did not bother to rectify the mistakes.

Please help me to help you

An autobiograhy of a middle class man - chapter 10

While, for thousands of people she is fondly known as "Mrs YGP," I had the privilege of calling her as "Manni" (elder brother's wife) and she used to call me with lot of affection "ennada Hari." Even though my close association with her for a short period of four to five years, there are lot of things I learned from her. Meticulous planning was the most important thing in my life.

Mrs and Mrs. YGP on my son's ( the child who is in the chair) first birthday

We used to go to their house quite often for discussion on planning and execution of various programmes which are of different nature. We will be offered always to eat something according to the time, we are there, and coffee and tea will flow in unlimited quantity, irrespective of the number we are in.

She used to take lot of liberties with us and used to encourage at our adventures. Whenever there is no drama, they both will come to our programmes without fail. They used to contribute lot of suggestions before the programme and after the programme, without any reservation, offer their comments, if there was any lacuna in our perfection, so that we do not commit such mistakes again.

Normally, they were very happy with our organising skills, and making even an ordinary drama a great occassion for the troupes as well as audience. If they think of something new, they used to call us and suggest that we should do such programmes. They gave us lot of contacts for the success of our programmes, and wherever necessary Annaa or Manni themselves will talk to the concerned artists and will instruct them to extend their fullest cooperation to us. We used to advertise as " Apsaras, not a sabha, but an experience". They both will quote this after all the programmes " Dei, you justified your advertisement."

Many executives of other Sabhas, used to envy at the intimacy they were maintaining with us and used to blame them ," Why you are always giving good ideas to Apsaras?". There are many high profile artists and people contributed a lot, for our success and to be in the top: but the role played by Mrs & Mr. YGP's was exceptional with a personal touch in it.

I was honoured when they both came to bless my son on his first birthday, and it is always in the corner of my heart, that "Manni's" blessing to him, at that age, is one of the reasons for his brilliant academic carrier.

Her contributions to the academic pride of Madras ( Chennai) city is incomparable. Starting with few students and growing as a great banyan tree with such a standard and reputation, PSBB is an example of her dedication to education. Please read this link to know more about her.

I was inspired to write about her and remembered her when I saw the news that she has been honoured with an award of The Achievement medal for leadership and commitment to excellence in education presented in Cambridge, Massachusetes by the Centre of Excellence in Education.

I regret that the Governement of India has not recognised the noble services she is rendering, which is no way inferior to Mother Theresa's services, by honouring her with highest award of the nation. Will the authorities wake up?

My diary - 6th September 2009

I am constantly on the look out for more Muthuswamy Dhikshitar Krithis so that, that label will have all his compositions. Members who have some audio clips other than what is available now, may please send it to me. Similarly, I am interested to get more songs to the label M.M. Dhandapani desikar also. Particularly, I will be obliged if any body have his song "Vainavan enbavan" a translation of "Vaishnavo Janatho"

,

There was a mistake in Carnatic music raagas - Andholika. The song No 10 Raaga sudha rasa by K. J. Yesudoss was also by Madurai Somasundaram and I corrected it after Mr. R. B. Subramanian has pointed out. Now this film song By K. J. Yesudoss is available for download.

I have also added two songs, one by D. K. Pattammal and other by K. R. Raamaswamy to Patriotic songs.

There were about eight songs with original numbers as 49,52, 61,62,69,70, 92 and 95 under the label of M.M. Dhandapani Desikar and were leading to wrong songs. I have now corrected them after pointed out by Mr. Nadarajan Nirmalan just day before yesterday. Those who have downloaded these songs prior to that day are requested to again download for the correct songs.

In many labels, other than "Concerts", at times I add additional files because of receipts of certain songs from many friends, and readers. Readers are requested to glance into for new additions, which I will mark in future with * to enable you to identify them.

I am getting lot of mails from many readers which are not available to everybody, to share through this blog, as per my earlier request. I will add them as and when I get time and if they are interesting and not repeatition.
