COLLABORATIVE GROWTH.

Hi All,
This is a nice piece of information which was sent to me by my friend, I would like to share this
with all of you, Hope you will also like this.

Collaborative Growth
There was a farmer who grew superior quality and award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honour and prizes. One year, a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked.
“Why sir, “said the farmer, “Didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours grow good corn.” The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbour’s corn also improves.
So, it is all in the other dimensions. Those who choose to be at harmony must help their neighbours and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.
Success does not happen in isolation. It is very often a participative and collective process. So share the good practices, ideas, and new learning with your family, team members, neighbours… and enjoy the collaborative growth.

Visit to Tiruchengode.

I went to Namakkal with my family to Visit Narasimha swamy temple and Namakkal Anjaneyar temple. Namakkal Narasimha swamy temple is a very old temple and protected
as Heritage monument by Archaelogical department. But the sad part is temple being maintained shabbily. We litter a lot inside the temple, we don't mind to protect our ancient
temples which are living examples of great work done by our ancestors. Visit to such temples
makes you feel very inferior, People have done wonders with the limited resources they had at
that time, but we are not doing much with all the resources we have now, if we are not inclined
to do such things, We should atleast come forward to protect and maintain such ancient temples
and monuments.

On the way back to Coimbatore, We visited Lord Arthanareeswarar temple at Tiruchengode, I've heard a lot about this temple but this was my first trip. Temple Architecture is fantastic, They say it is almost 2000 years old temple funded by a chola king. All the sculptures are superb with intricate works. Main moorthy is Arthanareeswarar or Ammaiyappar. One half
shiva and one half parvathy.

Worth visiting friends, if time permits and if you people are coming to Erode or Salem, do visit this temple.

This is my first blog and love to continue more!!!!!!!!!
