Oh, understand now. This part, "..நான் குமார்கிட்ட லவ்வ சொல்லிட்டேண்டா” என்றார். நான் புன்னகைத்து “என்ன சொன்னான்?” என்றேன். “நான் யோசிச்சி சொல்றேன்”னான்..."

There are two assumptions now.

1. Kumar-Sivu, if they are together now, Sivu should be OK with the current story 2. Kumar-Sivu - not being together now, Sivu may not like this part of the story to be revealed outside and/or dig the memories

Now it looks like Second assumption is correct. I would suggest you to hide the Kumar-Sivu part and continue your story.

This kind of story might be very sensitive to people. Hence, when every sentence is written, read back to see what impact it might create in others' (related and completely unrelated persons) mind. Evaluation of every sentences is very important.

But as a whole, I would say, you are brave enough to write this, which other's generally may not have.

In case

@ Vengadesh: Needs some title man. So far the characters introduced are,

1. Sivagami: yet to describe - part of friend's group.
2. Shanthi - Kannan: Romantic mentors
3. Saraswathi - Barathanatiyam dancer
4. Guru - Artist; emotional, Love failure case.
5. Kayal - Little girl (temporary character)
6. Menaga - Possibily, the heroine.
7. Kala - Menaga's friend
8. Vishwa - Appears like a villan, but I like this character - very constructive on Hero's well-being.
9. Valarmathi: Menaga's friend
This listing to keep the track for others !

Mine

OK Guys. Just being open, I too was attracted by one of our classmates. I get switched-off myself whenever she is around in those 4 years. I was planning to propose her post All-India tour. Just before, I asked couple of questions to myself, while the "me" inside, clearly said, No man, your decision seem to be very immature. Hence it was totally buried inside. Later She took a different path and my priorities changed. Hard to expose her name as she is part of this group. Even now I am curious about her well-being, but never got a chance to (really) meet. I get reminded of her, when I hear a (specific) song.

I am sure, some of the boys knew this, but please don't dig into. Or don't ask me what song is that. :-)

-( I know, you are well aware of this along with many of the forestry friends. I still worried that Jerard holds a (love) letter, that I wrote to her. Hope he must have lost that letter.

What RDC will deliver?

What way R&D in totality has contributed to realising project objectives?

• New approaches adopted by R&D
  • Quick screening of trees using NIR has helped to select trees for Pulp yield apart from growth traits.
  • Molecular markers will be used to select trees for PY and drought tolerance for establishing seedling seed orchards.
  • High pulp yielding hybrids would be produced by accessing Hybridising orchards developed by CSIR, South Africa.
• Realized benefits
  • R&D will deliver large number of new high yielding clones on par with the existing ITC clones – by 2013
  • R&D will develop high pulp yielding clones from the new selections by 2013
  • R&D will demonstrate the superiority of the new clones in an area of 500 ha by 2013
  • R&D will develop a package of practice for enhancing wood yield over 20% compared to the existing practice thereby shortening one year in harvest cycle of 4 years.
• Sustainable benefits for the future
  • R&D will establish site-specific seed orchards, for the sustainable improvement of wood and pulp yield

Tobacco

Dear All,

Everyone might be aware that I am working on CMS diversification in Tobacco, which primarily involves, developing hybrids from wild species. It was extremely encouraging, while looking at the hybrid seed/seedlings that were made with cultivated and 5 different wild species. Today we have ~3000 hybrids, more than 95% of which shows array of interesting variation at seedling level.

Often I hear a chat around in the center, what if we fail to deliver flavor? Well,

Due to conservative breeding methods used in the development of tobacco cultivars resulted in only a small portion of the germplasm pool being utilized as a parental material for new crosses. Ex. ILTD team selected 50 flue cured cultivars, released a very good varieties and hybrids out of it and this resulted in loosing >75% of allelic diversity in recent Past. Now that flue-cured out dated cultivars would no longer to consider as adequate breeding material. It looks like introduction of atleast 700 accession from NC would harbor favorable alleles for further desired genetics- based modification of our trait of interest majorly a FLAVOR. It would even generate a core collection of tobacco germplasm.

I knew people would come back to comment, "you might loose focus on CMS", but my model prioritise CMS, while still "explores additional value" to the most precise germplasm, with the little additional effort of course.
