A Night to Remember - 2

She monotonously paced around the room to burn off her restlessness. She repeated the principles of management and profit planning, hoping it’ll ground her.

Her mind and body were far too desperate to know about him. Did he already know she was here? Was he happy or sad to see her? Does he want her back? Should she play hard or fall into his arms?

Maybe she should just avoid him, treat him as a stranger she weakly sighed

Her thoughts raced a mile an hour, punctuated by the loud rainfall outside. The thought of crossing the waterlogged grounds irritated her, but at least she’ll be left alone with her thoughts for now.

This family’s problems are as intricate as their mansion’s décor she chuckled. Their long term CAs- Anirudh & Pazhuvur- were a well known firm run by two senior professionals. They were from nobility themselves and handled elite clients. Though well meaning, they needed some help to untangle their client’s mess given the ever changing business laws.

She found a remote under the newspaper stand faced it towards the small, early 2000s BPL TV. She tsked when it didn’t switch on. Restlessness made her bang the remote on the sofa armrest repeatedly -and voila! The TV worked.

She shifted through the channels….. ethirneechal serial, suryavamsam movie,teleshopping, BBC, live telecast of a temple..no no no she chanted before settling on an Indian news channel.

An immaculately dressed man addressed the eager reporters. “Pandyan corp will venture into buying other heritage properties too”, he said that they’d already eyed a few old forts and palaces to turn into tourist sweetspots.

“Sir, you had already announced such a project 2 years ago, but it failed to take off” clamoured a journo

The official smoothly assured them that this time it will take off, dismissing the previous plan that fell through.

Nandini smirked, thinking of how they lost their most lucrative purchase due to her ‘skills’.

The Pandya’s were the royal clan who lost the most to colonialism. But they persevered, ignored public criticism, cut costs and started a real estate business- unthinkable for a clan of their stature. They’d changed their last remaining fort into a Heritage hotel and entered the luxury real estate market. Other noble clan’s looked down on them then, only to regret their decisions now.

The Chozhas were one of them. They had maintained autonomous rule long enough, so they settled into a complacent lifestyle. Their palatial homes (including their current residence), agricultural lands overseen by locals all seemed grand. Their money was locked up in trust funds and wills, rendering them unable to withdraw funds for their immediate needs. Their business investments were failing and it looked like they had to sell atleast one property.

Pandyas might’ve modernized into a corporate now, but their executive committee’s bitterness remained. They had lost a lot to the Chozhas but couldn’t retaliate when the British slammed them with the ‘Doctrine of Lapse’.

Their core team, on behalf of the young son of their late CEO, was full of “old guards”- people from families who’ve long been faithful servants of the owner’s kingly forefathers.

They were the top players in the luxury segment, their plan to buy heritage properties was just a century old thirst to one up the Chozhas

She’d interned with them as a gangly 23 year old fresh out of uni. The opportunity was great- they were one of the patrons of her college’s scholarship program. Veer pandyan had personally taught her, despite knowing real estate wasn’t her main interest.

The talent scouts at HR had run a background check, the results of which intrigued the big boss.

Born and adopted in Madurai,  moved to a suburb of Thanjavur at 10 where her dad worked  as a Archagar in temple before moving to Chennai after grade 11.

It was the last fact that caught his eye.

No sane Indian family, no matter their financial woes would shift cities when their child has completed 11th. Something drastic must’ve occurred. It no doubt involved the Chozhas as nothing moved from that estate without their consent.

The pandyan corp executives were nice to her. Really nice, that some of the older employees began envying her- an intern! Veer pandyan had a friendly uncle demeanor as he taught her the practicalities of real estate, investments and predicting markets. But soon his real interest began to show, he tried to pry into her past.

“It’s just odd, you know, you did grade 11 in one city and grade 12 in another “ he innocently asked.

Hoping to tolerate the intrusion for the sake of her job, Nandini replied “ My dad found a better position in Chennai, besides my brother wanted to join the OTA” hoping it sounded rational. She loved using her military intelligence officer bro as an excuse.

He left it for the day, but circled back to it often. “You went to THAT school right? The one where the Chozha kids studied… did you talk to them?”

Nandini cursed herself for being so naïve. She initially presumed he wanted to know about her past genuinely.

The topic was too painful. A sore spot she rarely thought of even in private- afraid of the emotional fallout. No amount of casual dismissal of her acquaintance with them sated her boss.

The heckling of journalists of the suited man snapped her to the present.

She began chuckling madly at the TV, at the slimy man trying to convince the reporters that all was well in paradise. Uncaring of been seen, she wheezed with laughter, knowing all wasn’t well- they had her to thank for that!

The low grumbling of the skies masked her outburst and made her anticipate the next loud thunder. It settled into silence but she wasn’t completely at peace yet. She’d stolen biscuits, borrowed a blanket and used the living room of her former flame.

She looked every bit the confident career woman she was, but his presence threw her off the cool headspace she maintained. And she’d have to leave this place anyway.

A fainted shadow fell on the foyer. “The rain must’ve messed with the porch lights” Nandini dismissed it and continued to change the channels. She chose to watch a Djokovic vs Nadal match to pass time. Engrossed as she was in their rally, she didn’t notice the shadow shift closer to her.

The door lock clicked and forced her to notice. “holy shit please don’t be a murderer” she inwardly thought before deciding to turn.

Her stuff shoulders turned, her eyebrows curled in fear but the sight of the form at the door step made them turn up in anger. “You…you brat!” Nandini bared her teeth as the tormentor of her dreams just smirked

Dr. M. R. Krishnamurthi Iyer first came to Bhagavan in 1924. From a good family of Mondi in Thanjavur District, in 1933 he settled down in Tiruvannamalai, took a house in town, worked in the local hospital, and came regularly to the Ashram to see Bhagavan.

Known in the Ashram as the ‘town doctor’, Dr. Krishnamurthi became the first doctor of the Ashram Dispensary. Until 1942, he treated patients in a simple thatched shed before the new Ashram Dispensary was inaugurated. Though working much of the time, Dr. Krishnamurthi came to have Bhagavan’s darshan each Sunday at 2 pm, leading devotees to call him “Sunday Doctor”. Whenever he would arrive, Bhagavan would say, “Oh, today is Sunday.”

Healing Bhagavan

In the late 1930s, Bhagavan got an intractable case of the hiccups and it fell to Dr. Krishnamurthi to treat him. Having tried every imaginable medicine without result, he became nervous when he discovered Bhagavan’s weak pulse. Returning home, he went to bed full of worry about Bhagavan’s condition.

During the night, Bhagavan appeared to him in a dream: “Why are you weeping? Don’t cry. In the courtyard of your house there is a seendhikodi plant. Pluck some leaves from it, fry them in ghee and then pound them along with dried ginger and jaggery, make a ball of it and bring it to me. Don't worry.”

When the doctor awoke, he and his wife Subbalakshmi went out with a hurricane lamp and searched for the herb in the courtyard. Among a strip of bushes, they found the desired plant. Having made the preparation according to the dream’s instructions, he and his wife entered the darshan hall early in the morning and found Bhagavan sitting on his couch. Bhagavan swallowed the medicine. When they told Bhagavan of the dream, Bhagavan acted as if he knew nothing about it. The hiccups stopped within a few days.

Another Dream

Another incident in respect of Dr. Krishnamurthi’s medical treatments being influenced by dream under Bhagavan’s guidance was the case of a close Ramana family member who suffered a serious burn on the back close to the vertebra. The wound became septic and Dr. Krishnamurthi was deeply concerned that it was not responding to conventional treatment under the care of physicians in Chennai. Bhagavan appeared in Dr. Krishnamurthi’s dream and advised him to apply a mixture consisting of penicillin ointment, cod liver oil and civet musk (the fragrant glandular secretion of the South Indian civet — called punugu in Tamil). With this treatment, the infection cleared up immediately.

Subbalakshmi’s Dream

Mrs. Krishnamurthi first met Bhagavan with her husband during the Deepam festival in the early days of their marriage. Her husband would often run away to Bhagavan, leaving his young bride alone. At one point she became gripped by the terrifying thought that her husband might become a sadhu and

leave her altogether. The following night Bhagavan appeared in a dream, “Have no fear; your husband knows where his duties lie. Give up all worries.” She told her husband of the dream who narrated it to Bhagavan.

At that time the doctor was at the Ashram. When the message was sent to the Ashram about her condition, Bhagavan, who was reading the newspaper at the time, went into a trance. Simultaneously, Mrs. Krishnamurthi’s health was fully restored.

The Photo of Bhagavan

Another time there was a procession in town and Subbulakshmiammal saw the large picture of Seshadri Swami, they were carrying to the accompaniment of drums. She thought, “If only I had at home a similar picture of Bhagavan, I could offer pooja and garlands to him.” Not long afterward, there was a knock on the door. Someone with a large picture of Bhagavan was standing at the doorstep. The man said, “I come from the village of Polur. I am supposed to leave this photograph at your house. I am on my way to the Ashram but will return after having Bhagavan’s darshan.”

In amazement, Subbulakshmiammal took the picture inside, and immediately placed a garland around it and performed puja. When Dr. Krishnamurthi returned home, the children rushed out to greet him, “Father, Bhagavan has come to our house!” Krishnamurthi was likewise astonished and his wife said, “I thought you had sent the man.”

Small Story 53 God's blessings

At Kumbakonam railway station, the air buzzed with the energy of pilgrims arriving to visit the renowned temples. Madhav waited eagerly for his family friends, Janaki and her daughter, Shilpa. He had met Janaki three years ago in Chennai, just before his transfer. Now, his heart raced at the thought of seeing Shilpa again—she was a beautiful, modern girl rooted in tradition, and Madhav couldn’t help but feel a crush on her. As the train rolled in, his heart leapt when he spotted Shilpa stepping off in a vibrant orange saree that perfectly complemented her blouse. “How are you, Madhav?” Janaki’s voice pulled him from his thoughts. “Fine, aunty! And Shilpa, you look lovely,” he managed to say, his cheeks flushing. “Thank you! I’m doing well,” Shilpa replied with a bright smile. They made their way to Madhav's newly bought car. “How’s the weather?” Janaki asked. “Hot, aunty,” Madhav replied, sneaking glances at Shilpa. After a hearty lunch at home, Pankajam, Madhav's mother, turned to Janaki. “You should stay for a week!” “Thank you! We’ll visit the Oppiliappan temple tonight and then the local temples tomorrow morning before our train back to Chennai,” Janaki said. Curious about Shilpa's life, Pankajam asked, “What are you doing now?” “I joined a leading newspaper as a sub-editor after finishing my degree last year,” Shilpa beamed with pride. That evening, they reached the Oppiliappan temple, where Janaki approached the priest, handing him two pieces of paper. She asked him to show one to God and to give her the other. After the ritual, she tucked the paper away, leaving the others curious but hesitant to ask. Later, as they shared dinner at a nearby mess, Shilpa inquired about Madhav’s job. “I work as a manager at a leading bank,” he replied, feeling more comfortable around her. The following evening, Janaki asked Pankajam to prepare her favorite sweet, Kesari, along with crispy bajjis. The kitchen filled with delightful aromas, and everyone enjoyed the meal together. As 6 PM approached, it was time for Janaki and Shilpa to leave for their train. “I wish you could stay longer,” Madhav said, his disappointment evident. “Shilpa just started working and can’t take leave,” Janaki explained. “I came here to discuss something important.” Her eyes twinkled with excitement. “I’ve been feeling for a while that Shilpa and Madhav would make a good pair. Yesterday, I sought God’s blessing by giving those two pieces of paper to the priest, and he showed one to God. This piece represents my hope.” Pankajam's eyes filled with emotion as she realized the weight of Janaki’s words. Shilpa and Madhav exchanged a glance, the unspoken understanding growing between them. Just then, Madhav’s father, Ravi, called from the other room. “It’s time to discuss this!” he said, affirming Janaki's sentiments. The air was thick with anticipation, and the promise of new beginnings hung between them. K.Ragavan 21-10-24

History of Printing in India , how to print digitally

India, a land of diverse cultures, languages, and traditions, has a rich history intertwined with the evolution of printing. From ancient manuscripts painstakingly inscribed on palm leaves to the modern digital printing technologies, the journey of printing in India is a fascinating narrative of innovation, adaptation, and cultural exchange.

Ancient Roots: The origins of printing in India can be traced back to ancient times when scribes meticulously transcribed religious texts and epics onto palm leaves using stylus or sharp tools. This tradition of manuscript writing flourished in monasteries and scriptoria, where scholars dedicated their lives to preserving knowledge.

The Arrival of the Printing Press: The dawn of the 16th century brought a significant transformation with the arrival of the printing press in India. Portuguese missionaries are credited with introducing the printing press to the subcontinent in the coastal regions of Goa. Their primary motive was to disseminate Christian literature and propagate their faith among the local populace.

However, it was the British East India Company that played a pivotal role in popularizing printing in India during the colonial era. The establishment of the first printing press in Bombay (present-day Mumbai) in 1674 marked the beginning of a new era in Indian printing history.

The Impact of Colonial Rule: Under British rule, printing in India expanded rapidly, fueled by the demand for administrative documents, newspapers, and educational materials. Calcutta (now Kolkata), Madras (now Chennai), and Bombay emerged as prominent printing centers, fostering a vibrant publishing industry.

The proliferation of newspapers and journals played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and fostering nationalist sentiments, eventually contributing to India's struggle for independence. Notable figures like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Mahatma Gandhi utilized the power of the press to advocate social reforms and political emancipation.

Post-Independence Developments: Following India's independence in 1947, the printing industry witnessed further growth and diversification. The adoption of modern printing technologies and the advent of offset printing revolutionized the sector, enabling mass production of books, magazines, and other printed materials.

Today, India boasts a robust printing industry, encompassing a wide array of printing techniques ranging from traditional letterpress and offset printing to digital printing and 3D printing. With advancements in technology and globalization, the Indian printing sector continues to evolve, catering to diverse sectors such as publishing, packaging, advertising, and textiles.

Challenges and Opportunities: While the Indian printing industry has made significant strides, it faces several challenges such as rising input costs, competition from digital media, and environmental concerns related to paper consumption and waste management. However, these challenges also present opportunities for innovation and sustainable practices.

Moreover, initiatives such as the Digital India campaign and Make in India initiative are driving the adoption of digital printing technologies and promoting indigenous manufacturing, thereby bolstering the growth prospects of the printing industry.

Cycle all the way!

Mr. Vasan and his wife Annapoorni lived in a peaceful locality in Chennai surrounded by canopies of trees and mild traffic plying even during busy times. The apartment was mostly occupied by senior citizens and one could hear a suprabhatam in the morning and Vishnu sahasranamam audio in the evening. The apartment was usually quiet and maintained a high level of orderliness. Occasional loud laughter of men with jokes from the 60s and some TMS songs could be heard on Sunday evenings when some of the apartment men meet at Mr. Vasan’s residence.

A loud jarring clinking of the cycle bell and a loud scream of a ten-year-old shook Mr. Vasan early one morning as he was having his hot cup of coffee and reading the newspaper. He almost dropped the newspaper. The strange sounds tintinnabulated the whole apartment. Mr. Vasan rushed to the gate to see where the noise came from. His eyes could not believe what he saw. He saw a 10 year old plonked on a cycle bigger than his size, hooting and cheering expressing excitement at his new cycle. As he saw Mr. Vasan freeze in a sense of trauma at the clangour, he raced forward almost standing and riding it.

A human touch set Mr. Vasan free from his frozen state, it was Mr. Krishnamurthy, his neighbour from the first floor. He introduced his grandson Vicky and declared that the little boy would stay with them. While Mr. Vasan was not very happy about it, he tried his best to show some excitement to Mr. Krishnamurthy to extend his camaraderie.

Vicky’s seemed thrilled about everything in the apartment, he enjoyed breaking the serene silence, as he ran down the stairs he rang the bell of the houses he passed by; he sat on the handle of the stairs holder and slided down; he cling clanged with his cycle bell even when there was no traffic. Mr. Vasan found the new normal of the apartment and the locality annoying. But he had to be nice to his neighbours, so he decided to keep quiet.

After about a month, Mr. Vasan was quite used to the hurly-burly in the morning. But suddenly one day, he waited and waited and almost longed for Vicky to disturb his routine, but there was silence and serenity reestablished. Mr. Vasan walked up to Mr. Krishnamurthy to find out what had happened. Vicky had an accident, he was thankfully safe, but the cycle was damaged. No one knew where to take the cycle to service it. Vicky turned to Mr. Vasan and asked in his squeaky voice, “thatha, can you please do something?” Mr. Vasan melted at the request.

He knew someone who could help, he called OK Boss to check if they can get the cycle services. A personal assistant was immediately deployed, he took the cycle to the nearest local service person, got the quote for repair, got it approved by the cycle owner and dropped the cycle back to Vicky in as soon as it was ready. Mr. Vasan and Vicky’s friendship began with that and has lasted for a long time now.

Have you ever imagined asking help for things like this? We at OK Boss provide you the best possible personal assistant solutions. Just ask and we shall get it done for you.

Real Estate Trends in Chennai: The Role of Classified Ads

Real estate is a thriving industry in Chennai, one of India's fastest-growing metropolitan cities. With a blend of tradition and modernity, the city offers diverse property options for buyers and renters—from luxurious apartments in urban areas to spacious villas in suburban neighborhoods. For anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent a property, classified ads in Chennai have become an essential tool to navigate the real estate market efficiently. This article explores how these ads contribute to the real estate landscape and why they are a preferred choice among property seekers and sellers.

Chennai’s Growing Real Estate Market

Chennai is witnessing rapid development in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Factors such as IT park expansions, improved infrastructure, metro connectivity, and an influx of global companies have fueled demand for real estate. Whether individuals are searching for a 2BHK flat in OMR or land plots in peripheral regions like Tambaram or Chengalpattu, the availability of properties across various price ranges makes Chennai a hotspot for real estate investments.

However, navigating this dynamic market can be challenging, given the large number of properties available. Traditional methods like hiring brokers or word-of-mouth referrals may not always yield the desired results. This is where classified ads in Chennai come into the picture, offering a more accessible way to explore real estate opportunities.

The Importance of Classified Ads in Real Estate

Classified ads have always played a crucial role in connecting buyers, sellers, and renters. Their simplicity, affordability, and broad reach make them a powerful tool in the real estate domain. The emergence of digital platforms has further amplified the impact of these ads, providing a way to browse listings anytime and anywhere.

Wide Range of Listings: Classified ads in Chennai cover a broad spectrum of property types—apartments, independent houses, commercial spaces, and vacant land. This variety caters to different needs and budgets, whether someone is searching for a cozy rental space or a high-end luxury apartment.

Local and Targeted Reach: Since many classified ads focus on hyperlocal areas, property seekers can narrow down their search to specific neighborhoods in Chennai. For instance, a potential buyer interested in properties around Anna Nagar or Velachery can find listings relevant to that area.

Cost-Effective Marketing for Sellers: Posting classified ads, whether online or in print, is relatively inexpensive compared to other forms of advertising. For property owners and agents, this is an effective way to reach a large audience without incurring hefty marketing expenses.

Quick Access to Contact Information: Unlike property portals where communication may be routed through the platform, classified ads typically feature direct contact details of the seller or agent. This ensures faster communication and helps property seekers schedule visits promptly.

Digital Transformation of Classified Ads

In the past, classified ads were mainly published in newspapers, but today they have migrated to online platforms, making them more interactive and easier to access. Websites and mobile apps specializing in Chennai real estate listings now allow users to filter properties by location, price, amenities, and other criteria. Many platforms also offer features like photo galleries, virtual tours, and customer reviews to give buyers a better sense of the property.

Online classified ads in Chennai also allow property owners to update or modify their listings instantly, ensuring that the information remains current. This is a significant improvement over traditional print ads, where changes could only be made in the next edition.

Benefits of Using Classified Ads for Real Estate Transactions

For both buyers and sellers, using classified ads provides several advantages:

Transparency: Classified platforms often display multiple listings for similar properties, helping buyers compare prices and make informed decisions.

Reduced Dependency on Brokers: While brokers are still part of the real estate ecosystem, classified ads give individuals the freedom to explore the market independently.

Faster Transactions: Direct contact between buyers and sellers speeds up negotiations and facilitates quicker deals.

Conclusion

Chennai’s real estate market is booming, and classified ads remain a vital tool for navigating the city's dynamic property landscape. With digital platforms providing a seamless experience for both buyers and sellers, these ads have evolved to meet the demands of modern real estate transactions. Whether you are looking to rent an apartment in T. Nagar, purchase a plot in ECR, or lease a commercial space in the heart of the city, classified ads in Chennai are an indispensable resource. They not only simplify property searches but also empower users with the information needed to make smart real estate decisions.

As the city continues to expand, the role of classified ads will remain significant, bridging the gap between property seekers and sellers in one of India’s most vibrant real estate markets.

Tribute 784.

Tribute to Astrologer Prof. Sundaram

Today, I am compelled to share my recollection of an unforgettable incident that occurred to me five decades ago when I was employed as a medical representative in Madurai. Every two months, my company organized a gathering called the Cycle Meeting, which took place in Chennai. On one such occasion, I was returning from Chennai to Madurai on the Tirunelveli Express, traveling in a first-class compartment arranged by my company.

While seated in my designated berth, a gentleman across from me smiled and politely inquired if I could exchange my lower berth for his upper one due to his age and difficulty in climbing. I readily agreed, and as night fell, I retired to sleep, only to disembark at Kodai Road station early the next morning. My fellow traveler, sipping coffee, exchanged friendly greetings with me. Afterward, he observed me silently for a few moments, piquing my curiosity.

To break the silence, he asked to see my hand, to which I obliged. After a brief examination, he shared a rather intriguing prediction: "Your current profession may not provide ample income, money will flow in and out. Your real success will come only after sixty, when your name will be widely recognized, and people will speak of you." His words left me astounded, as my job's income was sufficient at the time, supplemented by my company's benefits.

He continued, "It doesn't mean you won't survive, but your true fame will emerge after sixty, and those who come after you will acknowledge your contributions." I remained genuinely surprised by his insight. An hour later, we arrived at the Madurai station, where a crowd greeted us, garlanded him, and chanted praises for Prof. Sundaram's greatness. As he disembarked, he looked back at me and said, "You will remember me when you turn sixty."

Decades have since passed, and I found myself in the UAE, the land of opportunities, at the age of forty-eight in 1993. After serving in the field of risk management for several years, in December 2004, I came across an article in the leading local newspaper, Gulf News, that caught my attention. Inspired, I decided to pen a few words about the featured personality, Krishnamurthy Kannan. To my delight, my article was published the following week, and I began contributing to other newspapers. My passion for writing, nurtured since childhood, bore fruit, and friends started appreciating my articles, bringing me a sense of joy and accomplishment.

One day, as I reflected on my journey, I recalled the prediction made by the renowned numerologist and astrologer, Prof. Sundaram. He had also foretold the return of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to power, which indeed materialized. Although I had not been a believer in astrology or numerology, given that no one had predicted my eventual journey abroad, Prof. Sundaram's accurate predictions about my career as a writer and recognition by others led me to reconsider my beliefs.

While I may not have achieved monumental success, the satisfaction and happiness derived from my role as a blogger, contributions to various publications, and engagement on popular social platforms validate Prof. Sundaram's prophecy. Today, I pay tribute to this remarkable individual who shared a train journey with me, took an interest in my life, and, in doing so, opened my eyes to the potential of expert predictions.

[ad_1] Students with painted faces form a circle around a replica of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft in Chennai on August 22, 2023. — AFPIndia is set to become the first nation to land a spacecraft on the moon's south pole Wednesday, marking a historic moment for the world's most populous nation as it closes in on milestones set by global space powers.Chandrayaan-3, which means "Mooncraft" in Sanskrit, is scheduled to touch down shortly after 6:00pm India time (1230 GMT) near the little-explored lunar south pole, AFP reported. The most-anticipated news is already on every local newspaper's front page with The Times of India's front-page headline saying, "India reaches for the Moon", on Wednesday while The Hindustan Times' headline said, "It's D-Day for Moon Mission".The Indian space mission, which failed in 2019, is set to touch down on the moon days after Russia's first lunar mission in almost 50 years crashed on the lunar surface. However, the latest photos transmitted by the lander suggest the final leg of the voyage will succeed, according to former Indian space chief K Sivan."It is giving some encouragement that we will be able to achieve the landing mission without any problem," he told AFP on Monday.'We have confidence'Sivan added that the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) had made corrections after the failure four years ago when scientists lost contact with the previous lunar module moments before its slated landing."Chandrayaan-3 is going to go with more ruggedness," he said. "We have confidence, and we expect that everything will go smoothly."The Indian mission, launched six weeks ago, took longer to reach the moon than the Apollo missions in the 1960s and 1970s due to less powerful rockets used by India. The probe must orbit Earth multiple times to gain speed before embarking on its lunar trajectory.The spacecraft's lander, Vikram, which means "valour" in Sanskrit, detached from its propulsion module last week and has been sending back images of the moon's surface since entering lunar orbit on August 5.A day ahead of the landing, the ISRO said on social media the landing was proceeding on schedule and that its mission control complex was "buzzed with energy and excitement"."Smooth sailing is continuing," the agency posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.India's low-budget aerospace programme has grown significantly since its 2008 moon probe mission. The latest mission, costing $74.6 million, demonstrates India's frugal space engineering.Experts believe India can keep costs low by copying and adapting existing space technology and employing skilled engineers who earn less than their foreign counterparts.In 2014, India became the first Asian nation to put a satellite into orbit around Mars and is slated to launch a three-day manned mission into Earth's orbit by next year.A significant contributionSivan, the former ISRO chief, said India's efforts to explore the relatively unmapped lunar south pole would make a "very, very important" contribution to scientific knowledge.Only Russia, the US and China have previously achieved a controlled landing on the lunar surface. Russia launched its own lunar probe earlier in August — its first in nearly half a century.If successful, it would have beaten Chandrayaan-3 by a matter of days to become the first mission of any nation to make a controlled landing around the lunar south pole. However, the Luna-25 probe crash-landed on Saturday after an unspecified incident as it was preparing for descent.Punishing sanctions since the outset of the Ukraine war has affected Russia's space industry, which has also been beleaguered by corruption and a lack of innovation and partnerships.

How Do You Find Commercial Property Tenants?

A proactive approach and creative marketing activities are required to find renters for your business property and commercial space for rent in Chennai step by step.

Determine Competitive Rent Pricing

Before you begin spreading the word about a property in order to locate tenants, you must first determine its worth. Set pricing that is competitive in the market and attracts more potential tenants.

Determine a reasonable and competitive rental rate based on market research, property value, and available amenities. Emphasise its distinguishing features, such as great location, adequate parking, modern facilities, or adjacent amenities.

Conduct Extensive Market Research

As a commercial property owner, your first and most important responsibility is to undertake an in-depth examination of the local commercial real estate market. This study is required to understand current trends, current demand, and current rental rates. Having this knowledge will allow you to strategically position your property to compete.

Conduct thorough market research to learn about the need for business space in your area. Examine recent data, swings in demand, your competitors' actions, and the facilities they provide. This endeavour will aid in the identification of your property's distinctive selling characteristics and office space for lease in chennai.

Determine Your Ideal Target Audience

Determine the types of businesses or industries that will work effectively with your property. Consider variables like as geographical needs, industry-specific requirements, and compatibility with the surrounding environment. By choosing this step, you may direct your efforts towards attracting the best tenants, targeting the right audience, and eliminating unnecessary activities.

Make use of referral programmes.

Referral programmes foster crucial contacts that can lead to professional advantages. Develop relationships with commercial real estate brokers, property managers, attorneys, contractors, and other industry professionals who can refer potential renters to you whenever possible.

You can also set up a formal referral programme that spells out the rules and rewards for professionals who refer tenants to your property. This programme might provide lucrative commission incentives to brokers in order to encourage them to recommend your property to their consumers.

Place Ads Both Online and Offline

A comprehensive advertising campaign is required to maximise the visibility of your commercial property and attract a diverse range of potential tenants. You must advertise your commercial property for rent in chennai on numerous online platforms, such as commercial real estate websites, social media, and classified ad sites, to do this.

You can also use offline media such as local newspapers, industry magazines, and property signs. These platforms will assist you in reaching a traditional audience that may be future tenants.

Participate in Direct Outreach

The direct outreach method is a proactive approach to seeking tenants. Direct outreach allows for a more intimate relationship with the target tenants. Potential tenants can be greatly influenced by personalised communication.

To conduct direct outreach, create personalised messages that are suited to each firm you approach, addressing their individual requirements and goals. Avoid using standard templates since individualised communication has a greater impact and shows that you have taken the time to understand their business.
