Sudha murthy's letter to JRD tata (it'll let u know him if u are unaware of JRD)

It was probably the April of 1974. Bangalore was getting warm and
gulmohars were blooming at the IISc campus. I was the only girl in my
postgraduate department and was staying at the ladies' hostel. Other girls
were pursuing research in different departments of Science.

I was looking forward to going abroad to complete a doctorate in
computer science. I had been offered scholarships from Universities in the
US. I had not thought of taking up a job in India.

One day, while on the way to my hostel from our lecture-hall complex,
I saw an advertisement on the notice board. It was a standard job-requirement
notice from the famous automobile company Telco (now Tata Motors).
It stated that the company required young, bright engineers, hardworking and
with an excellent academic background, etc.

At the bottom was a small line: "Lady candidates need not apply."
I read it and was very upset. For the first time in my life I was up
against gender discrimination.

Though I was not keen on taking up the job, I saw it as a challenge. I had
done extremely well in academics, better than most of my male peers. Little
did I know then that in real life academic excellence is not enough to be
successful.

After reading the notice I went fuming to my room. I decided to inform the
topmost person in Telco's management about the injustice the company was
perpetrating. I got a postcard and started to write, but there was a
problem: I did not know who headed Telco.

I thought it must be one of the Tatas. I knew JRD Tata was the head of the
Tata Group; I had seen his pictures in newspapers (actually, Sumant
Moolgaokar was the company's chairman then). I took the card, addressed it
to JRD and started writing. To this day I remember clearly what I wrote.

"The great Tatas have always been pioneers. They are the people who started
the basic infrastructure industries in India, such as iron and steel,
chemicals, textiles and locomotives. They have cared for higher education
in India since 1900 and they were responsible for the establishment of the
Indian Institute of Science. Fortunately, I study there. But I am surprised
how a company such as Telco is discriminating on the basis of gender."

VES ALUMNI ASSOCIATION INAUGURATION & reunion of batch 2005

The most wonderful days of my life were my school days...i wish i could get them back..those were the days, can’t describe, though we came across college there is no substitute for school days, memories, friends who are the most easy to connect back, wonder why the case though.guess it’s the age where we are still innocent and make friends without any expectations from others, Sometimes you need to leave the sweetest things of your life way behind and move on.

But we always had an humble to connect back to school, teachers, school friends and pay a small tribute to our school by any way, when we saw alumni associations in our colleges we felt why don't we do the same in our school and stay connected through it and though this we can support and go hand in hand with juniors, we shared the same with our friends, the response intensified our wish to do it.

we met our current principal Ravishankar who supported and guided us from the day we met in every walks of the process, even our pt sir Shivlinge gowda sir guided us whole heartedly, we decided to make reunion of our batch and let all our friends know about what we have thought and inaugurate it on the same day

we decided to do it on July 3rd(Sunday)2011 and invited our batch-mates(2005 pass-out) as many as we can bring in contact, even the ones who left school in the middle and invited them for the sake, many agreed to come though few had some inevitable reasons to skip, we invited almost all the teachers who taught us from LKG, even the committee members.

On July 3rd :

we planned to start off by the assembly as we were doing in school days at 9:45,we even collected tie from gowda sir for the sake, we had informed all our friends to come by 8:30-9 and for teachers by 9:15,only few of our friends with us for preparation sake, it was 9 only a few friends came and teachers started to come has added to our worries, by 9:45 even the committee members came already still many friends were about come, we pushed the time till 10 with refreshment to them, we made the assembly by ten, as in school days we started with school prayer followed national anthem, we made a move line by line to the BeD hall, where we did function as were advancing to our class in school, gowda sir took attendance of students, we even took attendance of teachers. Shamanna sir,Krishnappa sir,maharudra sir,shamim miss inaugurated the Alumni association including students followed by the explanation of intentions of it,then committee members made a speech, we projected the old memories video that we had done which included the inauguration of our school,first pass-out batch pic,any many memories we had in school with pics of teachers in it, every one nodded and applauded it as it took them back to those days, later we shared the opinion of students and teachers,followed by the lunch then some games for teachers,they felt very happy,many came from distant places for the sake of attending it, many announced funds to the alumni association, even the projector guy impressed with cause made a 100rs donation for it,even we gave gifts to aaya's which made them to feel as a part of function,we took a group pic,it was a grand success at-last :)

Unforgettable trip to mullayana giri,manikyadara falls,hattigundi falls,bababudangiri,AIT college :)

“Unplanned moments are always better then the planned ones.” Sounds so true for me after we had been to this trip, we take couple of week or even more to plan and organize a trip, but we planned it a day before, merely not sure even the previous night, but ended with a fabulous trip than ever had before.

Well it was around 7a.m our friends(arjun,gaurav,joshi & vijay) left Shimoga, we were about to join them in Bhadravathi, in-fact we 7(me,imran,karan,keerthi,hithesh,sharath,balaji and pini)were waiting eagerly, ignorance of their driving skills necessarily added to the pounding rate of our hearts, especially all are afraid of joshi’s ride, all managed to fetch seats in other two car swiftly as soon as cars arrived, only me,karan and immu left looked at each other and joined joshi, we reached tarikere by 7:50 ,joshi grinned at us telling we reached ten minutes early then schedule, we grinned back though we never saw Speedo-meter  going below 80kms/hr, in-fact joshi was more skilled, he was able to manage smoothly in great speed which boosted our confidence on him, we waited a while for other two cars to come went ‘swetha deluxe’ for break-fast.

We advanced towards mullayana giri(ಮುಳ್ಳಯ್ಯನಗಿರಿ also spelt Mullayangiri or Mullainagiri)hill which is Highest peak of Karnataka with height of about 1930 metres (6330 ft), the sites on the way made us to feel why chikmanglur has not included to malenad region, full of greenery blushed us initially though we get tired of it later, we reached top of hill, we are covered full of mist, so thick you will not be able to trace anything a feet far from you, the steps to climb to the top of hill appeared as steps to heaven, we were feeling clouds as just a hand distance apart, the moment of clouds created shade which was mesmerizing to view, wind was blowing with enough speed to push us slightly, we went for temple present on the top, a local guide took us and showed two caves telling gange-bagi cave’s, it was really a awesome view to see from the top, really a place one cannot miss

Viji took us for "Sitalayanagiri" where you have Lord Shiva temple and a source of water that neither increases nor decreases, built on the birth place of some stream it was cold enough to chill you out, joshi took snap telling abhi film shooting was done here, viji added few more film names to the list, from there we went to manikyadara falls, we didn’t get wet as we planned to get into water in hatti-gundi falls,falls was nice and many monkeys, I believe surely they get delighted by seeing some of their kind(us).

We continued our journey to Baba-budanagiri also called data-peeta, a place which is renowned for its communal scandals in-fact the major communal scandal of India standing next to ayodya, It is a common worship place for both Hindu’s and Muslim’s, we did not get entry into darga because of  some court case on the issue, well we managed to see some nice scene from top. all were tired enough  as we didn’t had lunch so far,we decided to eat litely, see hatti-gundi falls and then to have lunch at chikmanglur

manikya-dara falls

Baba-budangiri

We went to Hatti-gundi falls, as planned ate litely took some biscuit’s to boost energy, you need to trek down at least a km to reach the falls, we get delighted by looking at falls, it was wide spread, it’s the perfect one if you wish to enjoy the falls, it’s safe and secure no bother of getting flooded in water, shallow enough  and even less dangerous, few of my friends are caught by leaches on their body, but even leaches are far less when compared to other falls like Hebbe falls, we had lots of fun in water ,to trek up you’ll find grip to climb many friends found it difficult as we didn’t had lunch too.

We then advanced to chikmanglur had our lunch there nearly by 4pm, we called some of our friends from chikmanglur AIT engineering college to accompany us then we made a visit to AIT college, had a small photo session there too, though we took football to play there we couldn’t play more than couple of passes, as all wished we made a city beats, then viji took us to his school, ate enough in bakery advanced back to our homes listening to melodies ,packing the melodious memories we made a safe return……looking ahead for more of such kind
