Weekend Reading and Monthly Alarm

 

The Idea:

Originally, it was a way of keeping in touch with my friends once in week through meaningful forwards. But it reached beyond my expectation. Now, the distribution list has grown to thousands over five years.

 

Many unknown people fell in love with Weekend Reading. It inspired me to send it even on my Wedding Day J. For those of you who do not have time for my Weekend reading, I wanted to give them a monthly message. Hence, the Monthly Alarm was kicked off J.  Ultimately, I set up a platform to share my ideas of life with the likeminded. Starting 2010, I am going to present my own write up on certain topics one of the weeks in Weekend Reading every month and also on Quarterly basis in Monthly Alarm.

 

Now I have started 2 new Google groups to facilitate universal subscription to these. From Jan 2010, you will receive these mails only thro’ Google groups from my personal email id.  You can join these groups by clicking the links below.

 

For Weekend Reading: http://groups.google.co.in/group/WeekendReading?hl=en

For Monthly Alarm: http://groups.google.co.in/group/MonthlyAlarm?hl=en

 

The Google Groups will serve the following additional purposes:

-       It will allow easy (un)subscription to content in email ids of your choice.

-       I too can customize sending from any of my email addresses (outside office)

            -    It is moderated group, so you will receive only my mails

 

If you find any difficulty in subscribing to the groups, please send me the request of your subscription choice and your desired email id. So that I can add you directly.

 

Thank you so much for your encouragement

 

Best Regards,

Ram

A Violinist in the Metro

By
  Thanks to Malini Kumari and Aadishri G S A Violinist in the Metro A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look ...
