Ellaruku vannakkum,

We know nine planets in the space, but actually there are 400,000 (four lakh) small planets in the space. There are 4000 small planets near to earth.  Whenever NASA find a new planet, they use to give a name or number to that particular planet.  Some of the Indians names was given to these planets.  We know Mr Viswanthan Anand, chess palyer, worldwide, his name was given to one planet as “4538 Vishy Anand” for his contributions to chess play and his inspiration to younger children.  His name was recommended by a Scientist called Michael Rudenko.

Ms. Hamsa Padmanabhan from IUCAA, Pune given a seminar in inter college science fair about the attraction power to land in physics.   Many scientists were wondered about her knowledge about this and named planned on name as “Hamsa 21575”.  We know apple fall down from tree, one scientist invented that earth has attraction power.   Hamsa has also given many interesting things on this attraction power  of earth.

One girl named Ms. ‘Hethal Vaishnav’ found that road rag pickers not picking up the thick plastic covers and she asked why they are not taking from dust binis, they replied thick plastic covers has no value.  Then she realized and do some processing on this and made some thick plastic covers even screws and nuts can be put in these covers.  Thick covers now processed and made it useful.  One some planet named after her name “25636 Vaishnav”.

We are doing word documents files daily.  One Mr. Singhal was given innumerable documents for categorizing and segregating.  He invented one software called ‘Artificial Intelligence’ which computer does the same work.  His name was given to some planet ‘12599 Singhal’. 

Madhav was invented modified braille script for blind people.  His uncle was blind and faced difficult in read and write.  Madhav realized this difficulty and modified this Braille script.  This was recognized internationally.  His name was given to one small  planet called “Madhva 12509”.

(I did not tell all the names in the speech due to time, you can see the link  - I am mentioning here for information for readers.  One Mr. Sainudeen pattazhy, Zeology professor, who worked on wastes which are damaged to the environment.  He has also campaigned for prevent mosquitoes without chemicals, science behind the puja to the plants.  His name was given to one planet called “5178 CD4”

I worked as Director’s Nominee to the canteen for two years.  Dr T Ramasami was given special designation to me Director Nominee to work in canteen.  Mr. Narsaiah, who worked in canteen and do all the works.  Some guy works for tea, some guy works for sambar, some guy works for cleaning vessels.  But Narsaiah do any work whatever is allotted, he can do all works, without hesitation.  He worked without wife for his whole service. We know how we face difficulties if wife goes on tour, he worked in the fire which we cannot bear.  We bring DBT Secretary to open our canteen but we forget our own people contribution.  I request to pur a name called “Narsaiah Kitchen”, if you write like nothing wrong, it is recognition to his contribution.  We don't loose anything by putting his name to kitchen.  He used to go on leave for one month, he does not know how to give leave letter, after he came, COA use to call him and he use to say pardon for that. Mr Narsaiah is the best worker for our canteen and he worked with dedication with his many personal difficulties.

Mr Ethiraj, I know him as ‘watchman’ and then rejoined in tannery section.  He is capable in spray painting and he know color mixing, he is capable of maintain machines like buffing machine.  In  BPD, many people retired, Dr Subbarama Naidu, Mr K Chandrasekaran, Mr T Venkatesh and Mr. Vedam  and Dr Srinivasan, who is doing work become head of the section, then myself and Mrs. Geethalakshmi are doing all the people work. Because of more work, I want to relax, I use to play carom in the club with Ethiraj with other team. If we win no problem, If we loose, he use to say we lost with ‘L’ board fellows, he does not accept the defeat, he has some fighting spirit, that is why he is able give education to his daughters, all three daughters are doing well, one is in abroad, one is in good position, one is working in CLRI.

Once Vivekananda is going, some monkeys gave problem and pampered him, so he is running but monkeys are also running behind him, then one man told to Vivekananda, why you are running?  Then Vivekananda told that monkeys are coming behind me, then that man told, you have a stick in your hand, why you are so scared, you show the stick, then monkeys would go away.  Then Vivekananda showed his stick and went behind the monkeys and then monkeys ran away.  Vivekananda used to tell in all his speeches, whatever you feel you will be like that, if you feel coward, you will become coward, if you feel you are lion, then you will become a lion, so behave like a lion, everything in your mind.  

Mr Ethiraj felt his daughters should be educated and then only they become educated, it is very difficult task, I have taken education loan for my son, the whole loan is there even today, I am paying every month, he is below to my designation, even then he gave good education to his daughters.  Now-a-days, there is no difference between son and daughter, those days are gone, we have to give more education to girl child than son.

I used to go to exhibitions and explain about CLRI technologies and products.  Since bio-products are the actual displayable products which are available to show to people, I use to explain them.  This is bio-bone, if anybody get accident, bone cut, they put iron rod, instead of iron rod you can put this bio-bone, we have collagen sheet, if fire accident happens, small part of body burnt, then doctor cut thigh skin and put, if the whole body burnt, then this is the collagen sheet for skin alternative.   We have regenerated leather, we developed from waste leather and trims, we make them into powder and again make it as new regenerated leather.  We have another technology, cotton and leather mixed shirts or garments, some of waste leather spinned and some cotton spinned was mixed and made it like as cotton mixed leather and then make shirt or garment, it is half leather and half cotton, so cost will come down.  

Dr Rama murthy, I know him so many years, he worked in Keratin hydrolysate, then he did his Ph.D with Dr Sehgal, earlier the department name Byproducts Lab, after that they changed to Bioproducts Lab.   He worked in some project in tannery like Mr Saravanan said earlier. We are in quarters, his daughter come to school in wheel chair, then I came to know she fell down from second floor from 'unjal' and got accident.  He faced many difficulties in his life.  He gave good education to her and now she is working in Tidel park because his efforts.  Everybody here they contributed lot to the all these years with their personal difficulties. 

We all prey almighty to all these people, give happy life, healthy life and prosperous life.

Thanks you one and all.
