FEELS NICE TO BE A PART OF A GLOBAL COMPANY - 215

  NICE TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF A GLOBAL COMPANY OF NEARLY 140 YEARS STANDING

My son Haarish and Family were on a Weekend Visit to Muskoka Lake from Ajax where they stay in Canada . Enroute in a small Village Convenience store he noticed a picture from the 1890 s

J & P COATS SIX - CORD COTTON SPOOL 

As can be rightly expected he forwarded the picture which I am now sharing in My Blog 

It really feels nice when you realize that you have Worked in a Global Company for almost 30 Years and more so because the PAPANASAM Unit is almost 135 years old now . Worldover  there can be hardly any  home without  a COATS SEWING THREAD OR ITS ALLIED PRODUCTS in their homes in some form or the other  at any given point of time   . If nothing else ,  the dresses that we all wear will surely  have the Coats Sewing Thread -  Ametto  - Anchor or Spade  as a component for stitching the same .

An interesting and somewhat sentimental incident comes to mind here . My mother was always very good with her hands and her sewing ability was always looked at in awe by others . During my School days , we were at Kharagpur in West Bengal . Whenever there was a requirement for Sewing Thread , she would ask me to be a good boy and cycle to the PUJARA DOKAN in GOL BAZAAR and get the COATS SEWING THREAD IN THE WOODEN SPOOL . This was the only shop where she knew this to be  available . Little did we know of the connection that this WOODEN SPOOL was going to have for me  in later years at Omega Threads .

My joy is even more pronounced because I have been very much a part of the Installation and Commissioning of the Wooden Spool Winding Machine at its Omega Threads Group Operations at Ambasamudram when it was being  newly started .



THANK YOU HAARISH FOR FORWARDING THE SAME , IT MEANT A LOT .

    One of my MBA classmates also worked for Coats in the UK. Laizhen Lu (Lucy) was CSR Director. In 2003 she visited the Vikramasingapuram mills and had a grand reception into the sanctum sanctorum of Madurai Meenakshi temple.

AYODHYA YAATRA DAY 1 - 702

Image
 AYODHYA YAATRA  DAY - ONE     Sundar Holiday Travels  As instructed  by Mr Ashok of Sunder Travels , we were dot on time at 9.00 thanks primarily due to smooth flow of traffic from Vadapalani to the Chennai  Airport .  Other Yatrees also slowly trooped in . Ashok seemed to have his way with the Indigo Airways . Group Check in saved us a lot of time . Lunch packet Distribution done we were on our way and were before time at Lucknow .  Lucknow was a lot different from what I had imagined , airport was spotlessly clean as was their baggage handling services .  Mr Ashok saw to it that we were off on a Bus to Ayodhya in a flash . It was a near Two and a Half Hour journey and we reached the Resort by 5.30 pm .  Our Chennai to Lucknow Flight  was by The  Indigo Airbus A 320 Flight 6E 515  Aircraft with a capacity of 180 Passengers.  That , we from the Sunder Travels made up for the larger part of these Seats made ...

Ayodhya Yaatraa Day -3 - 704

Image
                  Ayodhya Yatra - Day 3  The highlight of the day was to be the Holy Dip in the Triveni Sangamam .  For the uninformed Triveni Sangamam is the place where the Three Rivers Ganga Yamuna and Saraswathy converge into one . It is the place where Veni Daanam is given after a bath in the River .  The 20 Minute Boat Ride takes you to this place of convergence of these three rivers . The Boatmen help you to take a dip in the water . Old set of clothes are discarded symbolising the discarding of everything bad and the start of a new fresh life .  Ganga is slightly murky while the Yamuna is clearer , Saraswathy is Antervaahini and it converges under water .  The Dhambadhi Pooja after the Dip in the Holy Waters  was performed with all the diligence that the occasion demands . The Sastrigal performed the Ritual which is an almost second time Marriage where vows are taken to lead a life in all happiness and be...

VAIKOM VISIT- IN GODS OWN COUNTRY - 686

Image
 VAIKOM VISIT - IN GODS OWN                     COUNTRY  Kerala has always been my favourite place of visit over the years . Its cleanliness , its greenery,  waterways , not to forget its spirituality and beautiful people in more ways than one  have always held  a special attraction for  me . We , that is me and my Better Half have visited Kerala before  and visited many of  its  Temples and Tourist Attractions.  One place missing in this list has been the Viakom  Sri Mahadeva Temple . We decided to embark  on  a visit to this place and Mami was spot on to point out that there was a direct Train from Ambasamudram to Vaikom Road by the 16792 Palaruvi Express starting from ASD at 11.57 PM and reaching Vaikom Road Station at 7.30 Am the next morning . Nothing could be better ,  We made the Reservations for both the Up  and Down Jorneys on the 11 th and 13 th Jun...
