Grand parents the volunteer ORGANIZATIONS




You find paid workers of various levels agreeing on various terms and conditions, within various or different organizations here or there in the globe. Even these features one can find within the International labour organizations not only local or other world organizations 

Permanent temporary or contract basis, you find various categories or layers of carrier positions. Big or small formal or informal every organization is unique. Voluntary service organizations are totally different to all other paid work categories 

Some voluntary organizations are slightly or totally depends on donor organizations or donations of the well wishes 

I think when it comes to something related to own families your contributions are always voluntary. Ethically or morally you have to contribute other members of the family expect you to do so.  Relatives, friends, neighbors well wishes, benefactors always contribute their knowledge or labour ‘voluntarily’ they never ask for any payments  

What is an organization? Different scholars may define it differently according to their expertise 

I can’t remember the theoretical or conceptual definitions

An organization is a group of people, community / members that has set up or has organized aiming at a particular goal /s or an objective / s. There is a vision behind every organization or else the public is always hope or trying to know the visions and mission of these organizations. 

These organizations normally or lawfully follow a unique set of rules and regulations, codes of conduct. The members consist of various levels and layers of knowledge expertise or skilled bases. Within a formal setting the members gather at a permanent structure during a fixed or scheduled time frame.  Lawfully these organizations should have a name for others to identify them or to show their identities to others 

Like we have names, Kamala, Rani, Madhuri, Poddi or Lokki these organizations have names given or suggested by the founders after registering it under authorized regulations, terms and conditions, under a particular state authority or some of these formal organizations has to register under particular authorities. There are privately maintained mother or sister companies they have to follow both state and private terms and conditions depending on the type of organizations

Welfare organizations, non profit organizations, volunteer organizations, unions, party organizations, profitable organizations, you find all these under state or private sector or private public partnerships. And you find all these again under these two categories that are international organizations and local organizations. The profit aimed at organizations have to show ‘profits’ and improvements in a particular or specific way I guess we identify these type of organizations or companies as ‘enterprises or as business entities.

An organization can be identified as a company in different name but between a company and an organization you may find slight differences within their settings and ways of working. Am I right?  

Some organizations that are different to enterprises mostly deals with ‘uncountable’ unquantifiable ‘individuals or groups of people. For instance, these type of formal organizations might deals with particular communities, villages, religious or certain or particular social groups (poverty group, children’s groups, groups of workers, groups that are affected by wars or any other injustices of a certain groups such as LTTE or alkaida or any other groups or according to them they too belong to ‘organizations or organized categories of people etc. so these organizations normally deals with a larger number of groups or a groups that consists more than five or less than ten groups or more than hundred or more than thousands groups all depends on the organizational capacities and resources  

Sustainability of any organization depends on various things, for instance, intelligences, skills strengths, resources, capacities of the organizations. An organization is not a one man show. They are teams. Any head needs the support of all layers of contributors that is not just to run an organization but to function it well

Similarly all other non enterprise organizations have to show their work values and volumes in various different ways.  There are ways to measure and weigh their capacities or achievements normally the audits are not the company auditors most the audits done by the service gainers and the ‘outsiders who are valuing your work sitting at a corner, outsiders can be your competitors who are involved in the same set of work

Competitions are not strange in among any sector organizations. Healthy competitions always give any company or enterprise, social, welfare organizations a boost or essential moral support    
There are non profits or organizations that are earning some profit but not recognized as enterprises or businesses

These organizations one can categorized under two main categories ‘‘formal’ and ‘informal’ ( úêu;a yd wúêu; ixúOdk )


Within a formal setting you can find systemized or formalized ways of working, a few I mentioned earlier. But within a informal setting like peers , group of friends, other small groups like ‘ seettu groups’   you find no particular time set to meetings , no particular scheduled frame works most the dealings are highly based trust and strengths

I know that my topic today is ‘Grand parents the VOLUNTIER organizations’. I like to think that we can find all the features that I mentioned above a little while ago within this very specific no cash profit at all, working under own specific rules and regulations, under very strong terms and conditions of love, organizations called ‘grand parents the volunteer organizations’

Sometimes the norms full laws within these organizations are a little strict ‘the inevitable members, the grand children have to obey them sometimes have no other choice i.e they have to read or write what these teachers say.

Sometimes the grand children obey the rules without thinking of the terms and conditions or strictnesses or the rules and regulations of this particular organization

Listening to bed time stories or day time stories evening or morning lesson times, during summer or school vacations they do so happily. These are unique activities done by these voluntary organizations. These activities that are done by these partiuclar organizations lead them, take them towards ‘never ending successes’. Those are the secrets of the success of this particular type organization.

The ways of functioning and the activities are different to all other organizations of this globe

Some of the other activities done by this are, good nanny services, day care services, (ethically it is not only day care but also night and mid night care inclusive), they provide tuition without getting  any charges, the subjects that are taught by the teachers, the grand parents are different to all other mathematics and sciences.   Home gardening, cooking, sewing, ethics and traditions, experience sharing, there are many unique subjects they are good at teaching

Also they provide their knowledge without getting any payments on the ‘maternity sciences their ways ‘am I right Ranganathan sir?         

Unlike any other organizations, formal or informal ‘they work day and night’ no specific time is agreed or scheduled

Unexpected arrivals of the members of the organization, or visits can be expected at any time of a day. Their anytime and all time target group, vision, mission, objectives all are their ‘grand children’. Therefore these particular organizations are totally a better mixture of all good qualities of good type organizations

The profit they earn is ‘happiness and improvements of their grand 
children’

Any big entrepreneurs or a heads or organizations can be founders of this organization and they too are agreeing to any conditions of their target groups, the grand children. The only bond they maintain is ‘the love towards their grand children’. These bonds are not signed on a paper or below any set of sentences. They follow or get no optional help from any other supporters that too is a unique feature of this voluntary organizations

They may or might not have a permanent structure for their gatherings with their target groups, so in these gatherings; the structure can be the residence of the sons and daughters or the homes of their own

And they can be identified or their names can be find in the ledgers or the drawings of the ‘global community‘called ‘universe’.  They know no other organizations than this.  This is the biggest ‘organization in the society and they are voluntarily reading all the oaths and vows before their grand sons and daughters.  And this particular organization is the tallest organizations of all, existing globally

Some of these same organizations are again re grouped or re named, re identified, re recognized as a  different group or at a different or a certain place when their grand children - great become ‘taller and fatter than them’ these structures are called ‘home for elders’
So these universal organizations, volunteer are controlled by a another organization, the ‘managerial committee of the home for the elders

The other little , little steady organizations called ‘nuclear’ (kHIaál mjq,) settings don’t exchange any ideas perceptions or concepts with sometimes a voluntary organization nothing much or nothing at all, because of nothing else but definitely due to lack of time and no lack of business



And they are the most famous credit and theft organizations other than the famous and trusted, universally recognized SANASA

All committees of grand children secretly send forms of loan lending or visit these credit and theft organizations and get loans but never pay back. The parental companies mostly are not aware of these loan dealings and they never get to know about it in the most the incidents

Any democratic, republican, labour or blue, green or red any party member becomes a member of this inevitable volunteer organization at a certain point of their life time

Negotiations, these are always possible with these organizations but often under very strict conditions

The organizations of grand children and parents organizations some times have clashes over various things. So this little organization (yet to be tall) mostly like to consult ‘this volunteer organization for gaining purposes, and they expect some pushes when it comes to getting permissions etc

Sadly there is very little number of extended family, (úia;D; mjq,) volunteer organizations exists in this globe now reason are various, and specific within this complex modernized, technologized, all parents are going to work globe

Herman sir likes to talk about his grand son, and Ranganathan sir is planning to visit his grand son in United States in about few weeks time
I think I must wish all such volunteer organizations good health!  

Aayu boho wewa!

Stiring Kiri Hodi and blendings and mixings of cake




Cooking is a not just an art. There are sciences and mechanisms behind cooking any cuisine

Sciences and mechanisms can be applied at any level of learning and creations

I think that is what the scholars have identified as ‘scientific methods’

There are scientific methods that can be applied to any learning or making

I am trying to think of the mechanism, scientific that can be used in methodical cooking  

And then I like to think of the ways as to how one can truly apply the same mechanisms and methodologies to one’s life

Earlier I have talked enough of right quantities in right qualities today I like to talk about ‘how to mixing or blending or stirring any cuisine after putting all the necessary ingredients in right quality and in right quantities

The ingredients or the spices that we use we shouldn’t get mixed up
The things that we normally add to make a cake probably you all know this too you know; we don’t add the same ingredients to make a curry or a gravy, for a kiri hodda

We use different ingredients to different cuisines
Mixing or blending one has to do carefully, after choosing right ingredients conscious fully

Making a Kiri hodda is not belong to ‘complex cooking’ you don’t have to put too many ingredients, spices to get a good taste and a healthy look of the cuisine

One has to stir it well without stopping until it gets cook well
Stirring well makes this dish a better one

This everyone knows, each and everyone has their own ways and styles of cooking.  If you give a hundreds of men and women to cook a same meal lets say a kiri hodda, providing all the necessary ingredients in same quantity you may get hundred tastes ‘ technically that can’t be’ but that is possible

Bit of planning is essential before start cooking I thought today, specifically

I think understanding the type of meal planning to cook and the likes and dislikes of the person or members of family will helps to maintain peace and harmony at the table of dining up to a certain level

Aandi hath denage kenda heliya this is a very popular saying and was taken from very old folklore. It says how seven members of a certain tribe / caste cooked a particular meal. The story was related to cheating. I think cheating is different to tasting any cuisine has to be cooked with no cheating but served with mixing with affections
No point asking too many members to involved in cooking a no complex cuisine    

If you ask many number of persons to cook just a one dish or cuisine that can be easily cooked by one person, within few hours or so without really getting it spoiled, you may get a spoiled or a dish that can’t be eaten.

I think to make a kiri hodda too many involvements not at all necessary kiri hodda, one chef can easily handle it without getting it spoiled  

At homes normally cooking is no big deal getting the marks from the members of a family is the most difficult thing to do.

There are various ways of cutting and chopping the inputs, the ingredients. One can cut and chop green chilly or onion the way they like but I am sure there is always a standard ways in cutting and chopping ethically, the good chefs’ follows. Yet each and every chef follows their own ways and styles  

I think this too I have talked earlier in some of my essays

Take grated coconut for instance some can grate coconut very micro ways or macro ways, tiny pieces or big pieces. It is same with how one blends and takes kiri out of grated coconut. Some like or prefer miti kiri (thick milk) some prefers ‘diya kiri’ (less thick) depends on the likes and dislikes or the health situations of the tasters, takers or the eaters  

Preferences always don’t matches with the styles of cooking. Some prefer miti kiri but when it comes to health concerns they know that diya kiri is advisable Miti kiri is not good for cholesterol I guess so diya kiri is good for them. Don’t know whether I am totally right

That is about kiri hodi it is same with making sambaaru or any other English or Spanish gravy or similar dish

I think though you are not very well aware of how to make kiri hodi all knows and understands ‘cakes’. It is not only popular locally it is popular globally

I think we can find cake lovers in every country, not only kids but also adults of all ages who likes, loves or prefers cake
Date cake, wedding cake, (after dating ethically there has to be a wedding I guess) fruit and nut cake, coconut cake (pol cake) icing cakes. Unfortunately I don’t know all the type of cakes but I know that this world market is full of various kinds of cakes   

Some have become worldly popular because of the cakes they makes
We too have world famous bakers and cake artists

Making or baking cake is all time demandable business
Why?
There are birth days, anniversaries, functions, gatherings, cricket matches, and get-togethers

So cakes are any time assortment
I don’t know the origin of cake or the birth of cake where and when it happened

But my mind goes to the era of the Queen Victoria who said to her people ‘if you don’t have bread to eat have cake’. Yes it is true that one can find bread size cake and cake size breads but there is a difference between bread and cake. And I don’t like to compare I like cuisines with any other cuisines

I don’t know whether there is something called ‘rice cake’
Is it possible to make a cake without using flour normal but with rice flour using the advance technology?

I think cakes are not advisable for the ones who are thinking of 
dieting.  That is why the cake artists make ‘less sweet’ cakes and alternative cakes, optional cakes

In the current market you find many alternative eateries and optional eateries that is the good about ‘innovative chefs’

A Better quality well baked cake depends on how one beat , blend , mix the right ingredients sugar with butter or with other things , with or without eggs

Stirring and beating equally important when it comes to cooking.   
No friends it is not that I want to make a kiri hodi today or ask you all to change your dieting or mealing styles I am trying to think of the difference that we all shows even if we all belong to one ‘ country’ , category, one group how many differences we all holds

No friends I think this world has many other important things to do than thinking of making cakes let’s leave it to the cake creators I think all others have to take care of other things

There are ways of dealing with things. People use various strategies and efforts in handling their own life matters or work other than the standard ways, ethical or acceptable ways but little bit of standardized ways should be applied in any of the dealings and this will help to formalize or finalize any thing  

Take a question paper or assignment topic ‘the lecturers don’t give various assignment topics to the students. Normally every student gets the same topic or question to answer but can a teacher expect 
same answer from the students?

No

Here no one can use preferred ways but standard ways or acceptable ways

So there is a difference in learning something correctly to do right 
way and ethically practicing the same learned in a right way
Let me repeat 

Making a kiri hodda or making a cake is different to all other makings or creations of this globe but behind every making or creating there are techniques that should be followed or have so far followed not only by technicians or electricians but also by all level of men and women of every field

Have  a good day !

Friends






No disturbances
Everywhere it is so calm and silent
The grass, a little taller than before
My friends are busy
It is alright
But
I am glad that you have sometime to listen to my melody
So you think the melody is good
Your standing positions and moving positions tells me the ‘grade’ I have achieved
Thank you
No it is not sweaty here at all
Your claps soothes my tiredness  
This footpath is not wide enough I know
Yet
I think it will take me around the universe
I may encounter many wider paths
But I will never ever forget this footpath
My feet are so relax here
No it is not rough for me
Look at my feet
I am very well on the ground
I have no fear in falling 
But I am glad that you have wings  
So you can tell me how are everything UP there on the SKY
and you can wing around the globe for me
and mutter what the wind says
share what the mountains think
where are the rainy clouds these days 
will it rain tomorrow? 
I am happy that I don’t wear any footwear
I will wear them only when I reach a wider path
Have a look at my melody creator
My shoulders are happy to support this melody creator
No friends I am not getting ready for any competitions
I don’t like competitions
Competitions are unhealthy for me
So friends 
lets meet again at this path 
Thank you again for listening
And Thank you 2013 for everything
