Had a very hectic week end-- the pleasure of watching " Thillana Mohanambal " on Saturday afternoon was just too good. I can understand why Sivaji Ganesan was such an outstanding actor--
Sunday afternoon on my behalf of my Rotary Club , I arranged a community service program with poor feeding at the Cancer Institute-- We supported Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for around 180 inmates of the " Dharamsala "-- the building was built by the Rajasthani Association and the daily matn., is done by the " Shri Matha Trust ". The Dharamsala houses all people outside of Chennai who come in to the Cancer Institute for OP treatment and do not have a place to stay. The people are given accomdation and food as they go in for treatment, Consulation etc.,

You guys may want to think in terms of supporting a meal-- It can be for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner-- You may want to do this for special occassions in your life-- if interested let me know

The Formula 1 racing ended in despair for all Ferrari and Michael Schumacher fans-- After Alonso's car broke down and Michael in second position, nothing could go wrong was the thinking-- If Michael had won in second place , Alonso's lead would have been cut down to just three points and it would have made the next five races just touch and go-- Alas , with three laps to go, Micheal's car packed up and I am still fuming as I write this note down ! So back to sqare one -- No points to Alonso or Schmi from this race ( Hungary Gran Prix ) and we go to Istanbul for the Turkish Grand Prix with the gap between Schmi and Alonso still at eleve points
Hope you guys had a buys week end as I did

Any of you are Secy's or Treasurer at your housing societies, please give me tips-- or call me-- I had such a horrowing time on this inspite of the Annadhanam and the race !
