Hari! Om!
Greetings to All!!!!
I begin with my humble prayers & respects to our fore-fathers, living elders and regards, respects, wishes and love to my contemporaries and children within our PD Community and above all with a Special Oneness feeling for our PD Community.
Now and then there have always been selfless efforts made towards Welfare of Mankind (Loka Kalyan) as a whole, in this world under different banners etc. I trust there have also been similar efforts within the PD Community itself, by many of our humble souls in the past history for welfare, communion awareness & attitude development. Even in the recent past there have been conservative efforts in the form of PD associations.
Keeping pace with the latest technological developments, a humble effort for us to know each other and get together, in the form of Yahoo! Groups- “pudurdravida” was created by Mr. PKR Sastry (Group Moderator) of which I am also a member. I understand this effort definitely took-off but could not land very much in the minds of PD’ians, as there was no clearance from “Ground Traffic Control”. Personally, I attribute the cause to this effect on to ourselves, our hesitant, shy & diffident attitude and in fact extend these causes for the effects on earlier efforts as well. No hard feelings, Please! There is no harm in making ourselves aware of our weaknesses and to convert them into strengths for our own well being & prosperity.
Another very beautiful, attractive, aggressive but still selfless effort was initiated in our current times in the form of a PD website(www.pudurdravida.com) by our fellow PD’ian, Mr. Melnathuru Yagneshwar Sreekanth (Website Moderator).A confident effort to wake us up from the depths of deep slumber, decades or centuries after and to support us all to get together.
I am sure you are all with me in asserting that Human Relations is of Paramount Importance to us Humans, in this entirety. Even our present Corporate World is keenly focusing on Human Relations through Talent Management. India or the world outside India cannot forget the 26 / 11 incident in Taj Hotel, Mumbai. Mr. Ratan Tata was physically present at the site of incidence with his entourage, within 15 -20 minutes and all the 200 or 300 odd staffers directly or indirectly affected were well taken care by the management taking full moral responsibility.
Why not we take a cue from this leadership, ethical effort and or many incidents or events of the past, recent or history for the sake of ourselves, our PD community? Probably we could gradually even extend this oneness feeling to the whole world on this Planet Earth as a Universal Brotherhood initiative.
I don’t think there are any rules & regulations or guidelines, really, to initiate efforts in this direction. If at all there is anything, it’s only each one’s conscious.
Coming back to the latest efforts initiated, “hats-off”, no doubt, all efforts are great initiatives & noble, basically because they are selfless & are for the Community. Of course then, the attitude, creativity which comes hand-in-glove with involvement.
The Website & the Monthly PD Newsletter, an information exchange lobby, I trust are definitely a good attempt to support our all hidden PD Community Cause. I hope this effort will continuously succeed, in being very informative about the events, people, goings-on of the individual households within the PD Community, take us to the future and remain immortal. With its power of communication to the best in our times across the Globe, it has the advantage in helping us to create Community awareness, sharing of happiness & grief on a common forum and to take us to the future. We all in unison can acknowledge this as a “Perfect Runway” for a smooth landing of any kind of flight, be it Fighter, Bomber, Commercial, Transport or Cargo. In a nutshell an “Inspiration Initiator” for PD Community feeling, is what we can call it.
It is now for one and all within the PD Community to make best use of, think seriously and get together, propagate the Community Oneness feeling within all us PDs’.
I understand associations within PD Community in different areas of PD habitation are already conservatively active and many events organized of which, most of us are unaware. The positive aspect of why people within the Community itself are not aware is the Introverted ness, Selflessness & Unassuming nature(ALL SATHVA GUNAS) of the associates, pre-dominant in India and very much among the PD’ians. Appreciating, this very attitude and rightly deserving, I would humbly request my contemporaries and other younger generation within the PD Community to support the cause by valuable involvement in an aggressive, proactive and enterprising manner with the wise surveillance of the Senior Generation or the Senior Citizens of the PDs’. An open forum of the Community with flexibility and transparency could generate a better association, stand long and benefit by the effort.
I suggest that as PD’ians, we should have regular meetings, get together and personal interactions, even one-to-one, to make ourselves aware of each other, our existence etc.
Our views, ideas, opinions, suggestions etc on various subjects and issues relating to our Community, Individuals, Society could be tabled, shared and supported. Awareness programmes on PD’s History, Heritage, contribution to the world & it’s spread could be organized. Global perspective could be thought of. An AIM’s list could be designed similar to a Quality Policy of an ISO 9000 Company of the Corporate World and spread across the PDs’. Personalities & stalwarts could be honored and PD’s can go public inviting public personalities or other community people for events and earn public or global recognition.
As PD Community are spread across different areas or regions across the Globe, I am of the opinion like many others previously would have opined much ahead in time that there could be meetings arranged area and region wise as also an Annual General Body Meeting(AGM) convened at convenient locations. Agenda, schedule, events itinerary could be communicated. Incidentally, as we may all know from the January 2010 PD Maiden Newsletter, an AGM took place at Nellore end last 2009 and I am confident it was very sincerely well organized and would have turned out a successful event. Minutes of such Meetings could be circulated & put on the WWW for the Community to be aware of the gist of the proceedings.
In my opinion, these kind of humble, selfless effort for Community could be the way to express our Homage or Gratitude to our fore-fathers and great souls in our Community and give our children, descendents or generations to come, a good future, a feeling of existence & a “supporting backbone” thus keep alive the Community, instead of letting it die an anonymous pathetic death.
I have taken the freedom and thus made this humble attempt to communicate to my known PDs’, my thoughts and feelings in the interest of our PD Community and to share my thoughts with my co-PD’ians across the Globe. I would request the recipients to communicate further to other known PDs’ with CC to myself so that I get an opportunity to get to know the other co-PD’ians.
Though this is a lengthy one and would test your patience but I am sure considering the thoughts expressed, it would definitely give another also to think.
Readers, please excuse me for any bad language or expression or any statement that could be offending, as they would have appeared or got expressed inadvertently. However, feel free to share your views and offer your comments.
LET US ALL INVOLVE & JOINTLY PUT EFFORT FOR OUR PD COMMUNITY
Looking forward to meet you all at the next get together,
Regards, Wishes & Love to All.
