Retirement to Shri N Aravazhi, Sr Technical Officer on 31-Aug-2012

Ellaruku vanakkam,
We take birth, grow, go to school, college, get employment, get married, get children, get retired and finally die.  If we go back reverse this extremely, in our mother’s stomach, 9th month, 8th, 7th, and so on and finally the child made from stem cells from thoppela kodi (in Tamil).  First Scientists thought stem cell comes from bone marrow and then finally discovered from this thoppela kodi.  These stem cells are used for preventing many diseases like cancer, T.B, and many other (nearly 135 diseases).  In future it become more important because these stem cells should be preserved for preventing many diseases.  Now in Chennai, Apollo hospital is preserving these cells.  There is a ( http://www.cryobank.com/ ) bank for preserving these stem cells.  Why I am telling this because, in future, Government may bring some ACT to preserve these stem cells compulsory.  There is a necessity to our colleagues to preserve their grand children’s stem cells for future disease prevention.  Cryo bank is preserving these cell for one lakh and 3 million cells for 3 lakh cells.  These stem cells are put minus 193 degree celcius in liquid nitrogen for future usage. 
Why I am telling this bank, Library is also like a bank, collection of books.  In olden days, 2600 BC, there were clay tablets for preserving the scripts.  The world’s first library was established in Egypt.  In India, 400 AD, in Taxasila university has the first library and later 450 AD, there is another Nalanda university has a library.  In My state of Andhra Pradesh, One Shri Vavilala Gopalakrishnaiah, who worked for whole life for Grandalaya movement. He is real gandhian, lived in hut.  When Vavilala says, even Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh give so much important to his words.  In olden days, 40 years back, education is less, the importance of library is more, to attract children to study education.  Now-a-days, more B.Techs, more educated children, they do not know the actual importance of library.
In my childhood, I use to hear that veena was played by Chittibabu, but in CLRI, Nallado oru veenai played by Shri Aravazhi, even if others played the same, it cannot click.  Shri Aravazhi likes order of books, he doesn’t like disorder of books, and he is so attached to library.   His pure tamil like honey pouring in our ears.  When I want to speak on stage, I want to compete Aravazhi, first I asked four people about meaning of the word ‘varungal’.  Nobody knows the meaning of that word, meaning is welcome.  Then I thought, I have to speak Tanglish with my telugised version, then only it will reach to all minds of CLRI people.  Then I use to tell a story and link with retirement function and make it reasonable success even though I cannot speak pure tamil.  Now I can understand Vairamuthu language and all tamil words but I cannot speak those pure tamil literature.
There is a website called ( http://www.kuppathotti.com ) kuppathotti dot com for taking your waste newspapers, plastics and other wastes. If you register, they will come and collect your old papers in your convenient time since many IT people going early and coming late.  They can use this site for selling old newspapers, plastics and other things.  This website is giving employment to 20 people.
My Old colleage Dr DLV Rao and Dr T Ramasami was interested to send Shri Aravazhi to Tata company but Aravazhi remained in CLRI as government servant. Dr DLV Rao use to tell that, if Aravzhi joins in Tatas and again he may come back to CLRI, he may get good place in CLRI. But somehow he is in good position at the time of retirement.  He says that he worked late night for tamil translation.  Some people feel that this is some kind of polambal but this is one kind of saying about contribution how he worked hard for that.   If you don’t tell about your contribution, how others will understand about your hard work.  This is one kind of gene Shri Aravazhi is having and that is why he is able to come up upto this position.
Shri Aravazhi knows Shri Subha veera pandian who is brother Shri SP Muthuraman, Cine Director.  He confined himself to CLRI and not gone to political stage to show his tamil literary capacities.  Otherwise he might become MLA or MP.  Aram means Dharmam or dhanam, he use to buy clothes for needy children and he use to pay school fees to needy children.
I prey alimight to give good health and prosper to Shri Aravazhi.
Thank you one and all
