Moment of Triumph

While I am writing this, the 7th miner out of the 33 trapped miners from the Copiapo' mines of Chile has been rescued after a long 69 days of ordeal. We, in our day to day life boast or have seen people boasting silly things like achieving budgets,increasing sales,developing human talents, reducing costs,completing certain program of studies as "triumphs".

But when I was watching this live on my TV thousands of miles away from Chile sitting in Solomon Islands, it has given me the real meaning for the phrase " Moment of Triumph" which is "NOT just achieving the achievable things or achieving something which if not achieved by us today can be achieved tomorrow either by us or by someone else but "triumph" really means doing something with the highest level of determination,courage to save our own or someone's life in a critical condition which has unfortunately only one chance to do"

For the trapped miners struggling for 69 days ,half a kilometer down the earth surface with no sufficient air,light, space or anything else essentially required to survive it is really a " Moment of Triumph" as they have narrowly escaped death and for those master minds, technicians who were determined to bring the trapped miners out it is and will be the most precious " Moment of Triumph" in their entire life that they have fought with death and rescued these 33 lives which are the most precious thing for their families.

I join along with the entire world to celebrate this real "triumph".As I writing posting this blog, I got a pop up message highlighting that it is a response to a job advertisement from another " so called" Triumphant applicant who is blowing his own trumpet through his resume'......Life goes like that!!!

When HE became IT and an air ticket became a freight charge

As I was thinking the events happened last week,there were couple of hard, sad days....One of my workmate passed away leaving his family,mates in despair.This sudden, unexpected loss has put me in a state of mental unrest.Adding to the loss, the reason for this loss being lack of medical facility in this tiny nation has shook my confidence. Two weeks ago it was my another workmate's spouse and this week my mate- both succumbed to lack of quality emergency medical assistance. 1. When one of my staff told me that this person has died.Shocked, I asked "where is "he "now?" .But the reply came "It is in the hospital" .No matter how dear a person is to us...he /she becomes "It" the moment something which we do not know what it is has left our physical body. 2. When my employer decided to bear the expenses of repatriation of his mortal remains,I was asked to proceed.As a practice, I approached the airline ticketing counter to know the fare and o

Let's get citizenship at Kailasa- the new Neverland of Nitthi

I have always been fascinated by the entertainments of this God   man, Nithyananda aka HDH Nithyananda Paramashivam ( HDH refers to His Divine Holiness). Despite being a rape accused fugitive, he has been making rounds on the media for building his own nation, KAILASA and more recently for unveiling Kailasa currency through the Reserve bank of KailasašŸ˜® Let us see some interesting, funny facts about Kailasa and its de facto head of the state. 1. Nitthi (as how he is fondly called by people who love him) is a smart man who calls his nation as an E-nation to avoid his followers and potential citizens of Kailasa asking him where it is located. There are speculations that Kailasa has been set up on a privately owned island off the coast of Ecuador or in the Turks & Caicos islands, Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean.However, these governments have been denying the entry and purchase of any island in their territory by Nitthi. 2. Buying a private island is not any thing new as many
