Wipro Q3 net Increasing 8.7 per cent

Wipro (WIPRO.NS : 219.7 -8.45 down), India's No. 3 software services exporter, reported an 8.7 per cent rise in quarterly profit, meeting market expectations, helped by a weaker rupee and higher fees from its overseas clients.

Wipro, which counts Citigroup, Credit Suisse and Cisco among its clients, said on Wednesday net profit rose to 8.98 billion rupees ($183 million) in October-December under US accounting rules, up from 8.26 billion rupees a year ago.

A Reuters poll had forecast a net profit of 8.99 billion rupees for Wipro, which provides IT solutions and services such as system integration, software application development and maintenance and research services.

Revelations of overstated profits and fictitious assets at fourth-ranked Satyam Computer Services (SATYAM.BO : 27.75 +0.9 Up) have cast a shadow over India's outsourcing sector, which was already struggling with slowing growth due to global financial turmoil.

Wipro said last week the World Bank had barred the company from direct contracts until 2011, citing a conflict of interest, adding to the glum outlook.

Shares in Wipro, which has a market value of about $7 billion, fell 31 per cent in the December quarter, while the sector index slipped 28 per cent and the main Mumbai index dropped by 25 per cent.

WORLD First Solar eclipse of this year 26th January 2009

The first of two solar eclipses of 2009 is the annular kind. It will be visible from a wide track traversing the Indian Ocean and western Indonesia. The first solar eclipse of 2009, in 26th January. A partial eclipse will be seen from the southern third of Africa, Madagascar, Australia (not Tasmania), southeast India, Southeast Asia and Indonesia. The second eclipse of 2009, in July, is a total solar eclipse. These outrank the annular kind for eclipse tourists, and the July eclipse will be spectacularly long.

This is the 50th eclipse of Saros 131, a 70-eclipse family that began with 22 partial eclipses starting on 1 Aug 1125. The first central eclipse was total in the Northern Hemisphere in 1522. The series will produce 29 more annular eclipses, the last of which is on 18 Jun 2243. Saros 131 terminates on 2 Sep 2369 after a string of seven partial eclipses.

An annular solar eclipse is where the Moon lies directly between the Sun and the observer (much like a total solar eclipse), but the location of the Moon is such that the it appears smaller than the Sun. This means the outside of the Sun is still visible. Nov/08



The animation shown in the diagram to the right illustrates the motion of the shadow of the Moon at five minute intervals. This animation runs in a continuous loop.

This graphic, provided by Dr. Andrew Sinclair, shows the grey penumbral shadow where the eclipse will be seen as a partial one and the much smaller red umbral shadow where the eclipse will be seen as an annular one. The UT time is shown in the upper right-hand corner of the diagram and the central line duration of the eclipse can be seen in the lower right-hand corner.

Wish u Happy Pongal

Wish U HAPPY PONGAL to all my friends and my family.

Thai Pongal Festival History

Pongal is an ancient festival of people in South India mainly Tamil Peoples. The history of the festival can be traced back to the Sangam Age i.e. 200 B.C. To 300 A.D. Although, Pongal originated as a Dravidian Harvest festival and has a mention in Sanskrit Puranas, historians identify the festival with the 1st Thai and Thai Niradal which are believed to have been celebrated during the Sangam Age.

Observance of Pongal During the Sangam Era (Thai Niradal)

The celebrations of Sangam Era led to today's Pongal celebrations. As part of the festivities, maidens of the Sangam era observed 'Pavai Nonbu' at the time of Thai Niradal which was a major festival during the reign of the Pallavas (4th to 8th Century AD). It was observed during the Tamil month of Margazhi (December-January). During this festival young girls prayed for rain and prosperity of the country. Throughout the month, they avoided milk and milk products. They would not oil their hair and refrained from using harsh words while speaking. Women used to bath early in the morning. They worshiped the idol of Goddess Katyayani, which would be carved out of wet sand. They ended their penance on the first day of the month of Thai (January-February). This penance was to bring abundant rains to flourish the paddy. These traditions and customs of ancient times gave rise to Pongal celebrations.

Andal's Tiruppavai and Manickavachakar's Tiruvembavai vividly describe the festival of Thai Niradal and the ritual of observing Pavai Nonbu. According to an inscription found in the Veeraraghava temple at Tiruvallur, the Chola King Kiluttunga used to gift lands to the temple specially for the Pongal celebrations.

Legends of Pongal

Some legendary stories are also associated with Pongal festival celebrations. The two most popular legends of Pongal are stories related to Lord Shiva and Lord Indra.

According to a legend, once Shiva asked his bull, Basava, to go to the earth and ask the mortals to have an oil massage and bath every day and to eat once a month. Inadvertently, Basava announced that everyone should eat daily and have an oil bath once a month. This mistake enraged Shiva who then cursed Basava, banishing him to live on the earth forever. He would have to plough the fields and help people produce more food. Thus the relationship of this day with cattle.


Another legend of Lord Indra and Lord Krishna also led to Pongal celebrations. It is said when Lord Krishna were in his childhood, he decided to teach a lesson to Lord Indra who became arrogant after becoming the king of all deities. Lord Krishna asked all the cowherds to stop worshiping Lord Indra. This angered Lord Indra and sent forth his clouds for thunder-storms and 3 days continuous rains. Lord Krishna lifted Mount Govardhan to save all the humans. Later, Lord Indra realized his mistake and divine power of Krishna.

Pongal Celebrations

According to Hindu mythology, this is when the day of the gods begins, after a six-month long night. The festival is spread over three days and is the most important and most fervently-celebrated harvest festival of South India. A special puja is performed on the first day of Pongal before the cutting of the paddy. Farmers worship the sun and the earth by anointing their ploughs and sickles with sandal wood paste. It is with these consecrated tools that the newly-harvested rice is cut.

Each of the three days is marked by different festivities. The first day, Bhogi Pongal, is a day for the family. Surya Pongal, the second day, is dedicated to the worship of Surya, the Sun God. Boiled milk and jaggery is offered to the Sun God. The third day of Pongal, Mattu Pongal, is for worship of the cattle known as Mattu and next day is Kannu pongal Cattle are bathed, their horns polished and painted in bright colors, and garlands of flowers placed around their necks. The Pongal that has been offered to the Gods is then given to cattle and birds to eat.

History of Tamiraparani River

The river of Tamiraparani is a symbol of Tamil culture. It is the main river of the district Tirunelveli. It is referred to in Tamil and Sanskrit literature of the earlier period, and as the Porunai nathi in Tamil literature. Saint Muthuswami Dikshitar, the great Carnatic music composer, an extensive traveler whose songs abound with geographic and iconographic references, sings in praise of the river Tamiraparani. To him the Goddess at Tirunelveli, is Hima-saila-sutaa, daughter of the mountain Hima, and suddha Tamraparni tata sthitaa while Vishnu in Kallidaikurichi Perumal Koil is bhangahara Tamraparni tirastha. According to Claudius Ptolemy's "Geography" Book VII chapter I. (2nd Century A.D.) Colche (Korkai) was situated (north of the estuary of the river Solen. Solen seems to be the Greek pronunciation of Sutha nadhi, another name of the river Tamiraparani as mentioned in Tirunelvelippuranam. This estuary may be located at Kayalpattinam where a drainage channel from Kadambakulam, enters the sea. This channel was once a big river fed by rainwater canals, and is also called Periyaru (Big river).

Thamiraparni has a large network of tributaries - Peyar, Ullar, Karaiyar, Servalar, Pampar, Manimuthar, Varahanathi, Ramanathi, Jambunathi, Gadananathi, Kallar, Karunaiyar, Pachaiyar, Chittar, Gundar, Aintharuviar, Hanumanathi, Karuppanathi and Aluthakanniar. Only two rivers of the Tirunelveli district - Nambiar and the Hanumanathi of Nanguneri taluk are not linked to Tamiraparani. (There are two Hanumanathis in the district).

There are many views on the meaning and origin of the name Thamiraparni. In his book, 'A History of Tinnevelly', the well known Tamil literary figure and missionary of nineteenth century, Bishop Caldwell residing at Idayankudi, a classmate in Britain of Lord Napier the then Governor of Madras (1866 - 1872), discusses the various interpretations of the word ‘Tamiraparani’. The meaning of the word Tamiraparani is sufficiently clear, Tamara means, red, parani means parana, a tree which has leaves, but why the river is named so is not known.

Another view is the name Tamiraparani originates form Tamiram (Copper) + Varuni (stream or river). They ascribe this to the origin of the river from red soil, giving the water a copper like appearance. The Greeks of the Ptolemy’s time refer to this river as Solen.

By naming this river Thamiraparni, tree with red leaves, a simile is drawn out between these rivers with a large number of tributaries to a tree with innumerable branches, reaching out widely the entire region.

As is the Indian tradition to associate various physical aspects to various Gods, His various incarnations or Saints, the Tirunelveli Sthalapurana associates the origin of the river with sage Agasthiyar. It states that when Agasthiyar was requested by Lord Siva to move to the South, Parvathi Devi, the divine consort of Siva filled the sage’s kamandalu (font meant to hold water for poojas) with the water from the Ganges and on his arrival at Pothigai, he released it and the water ran as Thamiraparni.

Originating at an altitude of 1725 m. above MSL at Periya Pothigai hill ranges, an integral hill track of Western Ghats, in Ambasamudram taluk, it traverse a length of about 125 km. passing through the taluks of Tirunelveli and Palayamkottai of Tirunelveli district and Srivaikundam and Tiruchendur taluks of Thoothukkudi district, joins the Gulf of Mannar of the Bay of Bengal at Punnaikayal in Tiruchendur taluk of Thoothukkudi district. This great river, like the Cavery, is fed by both the monsoons – the south west and the north eastern - and is seen in full spate twice a year if the monsoons do not fail.

In the Ghats, its chief tributaries are the Peyar, Ullar, Karaiyar, Servalar and the Pambar. The first tributary which enriches the water of the Tamiraparani in the plains on the right side is the Manimuthar. Then comes the Gadananathi, which joins the Tamiraparani at Tiruppudaimaruthur. Before the Gadananathi’s entry into the Tamiraparani, the Gadananadhi is joined by the rivers Kallar, Karunaiyar and Veeranathi or Varahanathi which joins the river Gadananathi about 1.5 km north-east of Kila Ambur. The river Pachaiyar is another tributary which joins the Tamiraparani near Tharuvai village in Palayamkottai Taluk. One of the important and affluent tributaries of the Tamiraparani is the Chithar or Chitranathi which arises in the Courtalam hills and receives supply from the rivers Gundar, Hanumanathi and Karuppanathi. The Chithar empities itself into the Tamiraparani in Sivalapperi Village.

The river drains with its tributaries an area of about 4400 sq. km. As most of its extensive catchments areas lay in the Western Ghats, the river enjoys the full benefit of both the monsoons which make the river perennial. Since all its tributaries are arising from the Western Ghats, the river is prone to heavy floods, especially during the North East monsoon.
