Pulikachal and Rasam


Pulikachal is a famous dish made in south India. The main ingredients are tamarind and sesame oil. It can be mixed with rice and eaten. It can be eaten with chappatis too.
Rasam is also a famous dish made in south India. The main ingredients are tamarind and ghee. It can be eaten only with rice. However, sambar which is closely related to rasam can be eaten with chappatis. Because sambar contains dal (pulses or legumes).
Rasam needs water for preparation. The water gets about halved in cooking. For areas with water scarcity, pulikachal will be more suitable especially for rice eaters.
One contribution which our country will ever remember is the mid-day meal schemes of government for school going children. Now, they have included eggs too.

Lockouts of unnecessary steel plants is vital for India. Lockouts are close to our family. Our family is called the "Tyre Family". Many of us had worked in Dunlop, Inchek tyres. These factories have been closed now, though they produced excellent quality products.
I am advocating steel plant closure because of presence of ore in hill tops, high energy consumption and higher energy spending to increase productivity.
It is reasonable to assume productivity cannot be improved. Just like friction cannot be reduced. But everyone is trying to increase productivity.

SAIL is not my first company. Sylvania and Laxman is my first company. Consideration of being from a private engineering college is therefore null and void.
I was extremely keen to repair electrical circuits and winding of motors. Even today I am willing to offer my services to ERS shops of plants. For I shall gain skills in my area of interest.
RDCIS should be made the skills development centre for SAIL. Where young management trainees shall get expertise in basic repairs of electrical, mechanical, civil or electronics.

Consideration of growth as 1,x,x^2,x^3 . . . . is not Indian. Therefore expressions of e^x, sinx, cosx, log(1+x), tanx and others are not Indian. The reason being Fibonacci series based.
I did a+1/b+1 from a/b sort of growth. But no one listens here or anywhere else.
There are beautiful expressions. Based on intuitions and knowledge.
