About a business man

                  Nagasundram is a businessman. He wakes up at 4 O'clock in the morning and goes to bed around 11 o'clock in the night. He never feels tired, nor does he complains about his work. He is the father of two male child and of a female child. His daughter is a graduate and works for a multinational firm. His sons are also employed and his family income is around Rs 30000 per month. He also owns a house and has saved enough for his wife and children.

                 What exactly is his  business? He sells Thengai mangai pattani sundal in our area. From morning 5 AM he starts preparing Murruku with his wife's help and then goes to market for buying the  necessary incredents for his product. At noon, he travels from Guduvanchery to Mount road along with his product in a train. He has got the license to sell his product anywhere in Tamil Nadu, so he start his sales in the train itself. He then walks from Egmore  to Mount road selling to his customers along the wat. His customers often wait for his sundal and he feels happy if he delivers his sundal in time.

                Walking is a habit for him, so he never feels tired. His sole aim is to sell  his day's product. During Sunday's,  he buys  half bottle of liquar and spends about Rs 300 on chicken & other eatables. Because of his walking habit, he even walks on Sunday evenings although he is not having  any work. He does not want to retire as  he feels that without work he will become sick. Our politicians are also following Nagasundram's policy; so if you appreciate Nagasundram you should do the same for the politicians too :)

SERVICES

                       
                                     

      We are making various types of services to the society.If you are in business,you should satisfy your customers.Customer is the most important person in your business,customer satisfaction is the most important, are some of the phrases used in our daily life.How to keep the customer with you is a great task It is not as simple as we think. So many years of good service, will be spoiled in a moment.

      Both the customer, and the provider are mutually benifited.Any think disturbing it will spoil the relationship within a minute.Even the relationship in our family will be spoiled if we are affected mentally,financially,or physically.so the all the talk of customer relationship is worthwhile or not is a subject to be analysed.

      Politicians are affected mostly by their customers, that is the voters.Whatever good governess you provide will be forgetten if onion prices are sky high during the election.Like that even bad governess will be forgoten if some flood relief of Rs 2000 given  before the election.

      While in business you have to sort out how to treat a customer. If you are liberal, customer will demand more.If you are  strict, customer will vanish.You should get  your share while treating your customer,and customer must get his amount of satisfaction.so in a deal who is benifited is important. If both are benifited than the business relationship will go on.All the talk about customer satisfaction will work only in certain time.

 We even change the city if it does not give us satisfaction.Sometime even the country we change.The customer satisfaction is not leaving even the God we worship.As there are various Gods we change the God if a particular god is not giving good service to us

Velu the philoshoper

                 Velu was a coolie in our market. I used to book my goods for shipment through his help and he charges rupees ten per parcel.  His only aim in a day was that he needs to earn a  minimum of thirty rupees that day. If he doesn't get enough parcels for making up thirty rupees, then whoever utilize him has to shell out thirty rupees even for a single parcel. Why thirty rupees? That is all he requires to by him one round of drinks. If he earns more than that, then the consumption of liquor that day will also be more. His food expenses were very less. Whatever money he earns daily will be spent on the same day as he never bothered about the next day. He believed that God will provide him for his requirement, though in outward look he does not look like a pious man.

               He carried 50 kilos weight parcels effortlessly whereas even 30 kilos is very difficult for me. The food I take contains all vitamins, calories and proteins whereas Velu eats some rice and sambar alone and not much of vegetables. Even with that kind of foof Velu can lift the heavy parcels and does not get tired. We have been told about balanced food and eat the recommended one, but have less energy.Velu had few clothes and lived in a hut; had no savings for the next day, but slept nicely without the help of sleeping tablets. He died two years back, but his memories are still in my mind.

Kings of India

                     How we value or imagine certain things is very interesting. My father-in-law had lent money to some of his friends. When he fell sick he started sending my wife and her elder sister to collect back the money he had lent. One such friends to whom he had lent money was from Srivaikundam in Thirunelveli district. This friend hailed from a caste called Kottai Pillamar. Kottai pillamars usually build a fort and they lived inside the fort. The fort was made of clay and brick, and entry to the fort was very restricted. This particular friend of my father-in-law was the chieftain of his fort. My wife and her elder sister went to Srivaikundam to collect the money back from him. In my wife's mind the idea of a fort and a chieftain had created a big imagination. She thought that being a Raja[chief] meant that he would look like the Kings depicted in our history books. When she entered the gate along with her sister, the guards told them to wait.After getting permission from the King, they were allowed inside the courtyard of the Chief. The courtyard was another clay building and a man with bald head,and a dirty linen appeared. On coming to know that this ordinary man was the king, all the imagination built up in my wife's mind went to dust.

                      In another incident she went to Anantha Padmanabasamy temple in Trivandrum. She was told that Raja of Travancore will be visiting the temple in the early morning. So she went to the temple and positioned herself to have a good view of the King. And then a man with ordinary cloth appeared without jewels and other ornaments of a KING. In India we have many stories like this.
