My post this day on Aug 2022 – when SYMA organized an exhibition celebrating 75 years of Indian Independence – Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav

Great artwork conceptualized and executed by Vittal Narayanan !

SYMA ~ Independence Day 'Cataract' eye camp

 

On 14.8 – SYMA enters its 50 !  .. .. the  facade of our   Srinivas Youngmens Association (SYMA) as it was till 2019.

For couple of decades and more,  Celebrating our Independence Day, we organise 'Cataract eye detection camp'   - here is a banner in front of Peyalwar Koil St office in 2o18 seen fisheye effect !!

SYMA Medical Centre 2019

 

 

3.8.2019 (this day 7 years ago was Thiruvadipuram purappadu) – You can see the nameboard of SYMA – SYMA moved into new premises on 4.8.2019.

 

You can also see Sri Parthasarathi Andal Thiruvadipura serthi photo hanging inside the premises (circled)

those glorious moments spent with GM Kidambi Sundararajan !!!

For the die hard Cricket  fan, 11.7.2026 was not good -  Shreyas Iyer  had close to the worst possible start to his captaincy career losing  all six completed matches, including losing to Ireland for the first time in international cricket - 2-0 in the series - then 4-0 against England.  .. what a fall for the Champions of T20I

At Triplicane (for SYMA) it was a great day – our Educational Aid function and this a post on a sweet, humble Sports person who by his demeanour gave us very pleasant feelings..  ..  not often one could sit near and converse with a Grand Master !! 

 

Chess is not a battle between black and white pieces; it is a dialogue between two minds. Victory belongs not always to the more intelligent, but often to the wiser. Intelligence discovers possibilities; wisdom chooses the right one. That is why Chess has long been regarded as a game of wisdom rather than merely a game of intellect.  The game encompasses – shrewdness, thinking ahead,  understanding that every move has consequences; there can be sacrifice for a greater goal, one needs to be patient rather than impulsive; learn from mistakes and always look beyond the obvious.   

"Every Grandmaster has mastered the sixty-four squares; the truly great also win hearts with their simplicity. A cherished moment with Grandmaster Kidambi Sundararajan, where the conversation was far more memorable than the photograph itself." 

A Grandmaster's mind is not merely one that remembers openings or calculates variations. It is a mind that sees possibilities where others see only positions. To the casual observer, Chess is a game of sixty-four squares. To a Grandmaster, it is a universe of ideas, patterns and subtle decisions. It is this ability to perceive order amidst complexity that distinguishes an exceptional player from an ordinary one. 

Among Indian chess circles, Kidambi Sundararajan is admired not only for becoming a Grandmaster but also for his humility, patience, and willingness to mentor younger players. Those who have met him often remark on his approachable nature and thoughtful personality.  

Kidambi Sundararajan became India's 19^th  Grandmaster in 2009. Since then, Indian chess has grown at an extraordinary pace. Today, India has nearly 100 Grandmasters, including prodigies such as R. Praggnanandhaa, D. Gukesh, Arjun Erigaisi, and R. Vaishali. Players like Kidambi belong to the generation that bridged the era between Viswanathan Anand's pioneering success and India's emergence as a true chess powerhouse.  

A Grandmaster (GM) is the highest regular title awarded to chess players by the FIDE (the International Chess Federation). It is a lifetime title and is recognized worldwide as a mark of exceptional chess skill. The official Grandmaster (GM) title was introduced by FIDE in 1950.  Before 1950, the term grandmaster was used informally to describe the world's strongest players. There were no universal rules or official certification. Interestingly, the first Grandmasters did not have to earn "GM norms", because those qualification rules did not yet exist. 

The first Indian to be awarded the title of Grandmaster (GM) was Viswanathan Anand. He achieved the title in 1988, at the age of 18, becoming a pioneer for Indian chess. Before Vish Anand, Manuel Aaron became India's first International Master (IM) in 1961 

The Man of the post Kidambi Sundararajan, born in 1982,  exceptionally talented – his journey to the GM title included earning three Grandmaster norms:

•          July 2005 – Canadian Open International Chess Tournament (1st GM norm)

•          August 2008 – Badalona International Open, Spain (2nd GM norm)

•          May 2009 – Dubai Open (3rd and final GM norm)

After completing the required norms and satisfying the rating requirement, FIDE officially awarded him the Grandmaster title in 2009.   He attained his peak FIDE rating: 2526 (January 2010). 

In the first round of the 2018 Chess.com Isle of Man International, GM Sundararajan Kidambi was paired against Vladimir Kramnik, the 14th World Chess Champion, whose rating was over 300 Elo points higher. Most expected Kramnik to win comfortably.  Sundararajan had the white pieces and chose the English Opening; exerted pressure on Kramnik's queenside. As the game progressed into the endgame, the advantage dissipated and Kramnik began pressing with an extra pawn. Despite Kramnik's superb endgame technique, Kidambi defended accurately for 77 moves, eventually securing a hard-earned draw in an opposite-coloured bishop endgame.   

Though much is dwelt on this game – Sundarajan was to say :  I dont know if it was the greatest moment for me or not, it was a great thing to play a legendary player and draw, yes there were winning chances, but I didn’t manage to play accurate enough. There are several other moments of winning tournaments rather than hold or win one great player. Hard to limit a 30 year chess journey on one point  !!!  - words from the experienced wizkid !  

In case you wonder, what is great -     Kramnik is one of the greatest chess players in history. He defeated Garry Kasparov in 2000 to become World Champion and is regarded as one of the finest positional players and endgame experts ever. Sundararajan was not merely defending from the start—he actually had the initiative in the early middlegame before the game equalized. For many Indian fans, that game symbolized Kidambi's ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with the very best. 

The rivalry between Viswanathan Anand and Vladimir Kramnik is one of the greatest and most evenly balanced in modern chess history.  Overall they played 93 matches – with 71 draws each had 11 wins. Their most famous encounter was the World Chess Championship 2008 in Bonn, Germany.  

Yesterday at NKT National Girls High School, SYMA conducted its annual Educational aid function.  Mr Sandeep Somani, Vice-President – Finance & Company Secrerary, Prodapt Solutions Pvt Ltd;  Mr M Balasubramaniam, Director – Mangal Tirth Estates Pvt Ltd & Sri Kidambi Sundararajan, Grand Master (Chess) were the Guests of honour.  

 

As  Sri Kidambi Sundararajan walked in – almost half an hour before the scheduled start, his humility and the way he spoke us to all was delightful. He is a genius in every sense of the word - Chess teaches one to think before moving; humanity  teaches one to think before speaking. GM Kidambi Sundararajan appears to have mastered both. His games exhibit clarity of calculation; his writings exhibit clarity of thought. One engages the intellect, the other the reader's mind.  

During our conversation, I found not merely a Grandmaster of chess, but a gentleman of quiet humility and wisdom. It is often said that true greatness carries little noise. In GM Kidambi Sundararajan, one finds an accomplished player whose intellect is matched by simplicity and grace.  

The audience consisting of School and College students and elderly people was enthralled by the speeches of the distinguished Guests and for sure each one of them would savour those special moments with the Genius, genial personality – Kidambi Sundararajan.  

For me the few minutes spent with him are really, really inspiring, enlightening, moments worthy of remembrance ever.  Thank you Sir !!

SYMA Seva Award 2026 - the highly learned Dr. I Manavalan

 

In this beautiful world, there are beautiful people – and if your senses are open, perhaps one could sight one such person closer by ! .. .. Triplicane has some !!. .. . 

How many of us truly enjoyed learning? How many pursued higher education out of sheer love for knowledge rather than for marks or employment? For many students today, education becomes a race for examinations, rankings and careers. In that process, the joy of learning is often lost.

கற்றல் இனிமையானதா அல்லது சுமையா !! - மதிப்பெண்களுக்கு மட்டுமே முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுத்து, போட்டியிட்டு  படித்தால் கற்றலைச் சுமையாக்குகிறது. பெற்றோர்களின் எதிர்பார்ப்பு மற்றும் சக மாணவர்களுடன் ஒப்பிடுதல் ஆகியவை தேவையற்ற மன அழுத்தத்தை உருவாக்குகின்றன.

 

The man of the post seen in this photo is not a common Man –  he  is a highly accomplished educationist with an impressive array of academic qualifications. 

His qualifications for sure would not fit in a board as they read :  MSc Zoology; MPhil Zoology, Med Education; MPhil Education; MA English, MSc Yoga, MSc Psychology; PhD Education.   Individually, these qualifications would demand well over fifteen years of higher education after school. To pursue them while simultaneously serving as a teacher speaks volumes about his extraordinary commitment to learning. Remarkably, he is only 45 !! 

To most of you, Srinivas Youngmens Association (SYMA) Triplicane would need no introduction.  SYMA has been rendering service to Society from 1977 and in a few days it is 50.  SYMA runs  a medical facility popularly ‘Rendu roova hospital’ since 1989 and a Tuition centre (SYMA Growth) providing quality educational assistance, free to students since 2008.   

July is a very important month for SYMA - our Educational Aid function, was today (11.7.2026)  at NKT National Girls High School.   Mr Sandeep Somani, Vice-President – Finance & Company Secrerary, Prodapt Solutions Pvt Ltd;  Mr M Balasubramaniam, Director – Mangal Tirth Estates Pvt Ltd & Sri Kidambi Sundararajan, Grand Master (Chess) were the Guests of honour.  

In the Educational Aid function, we provide uniforms to around 1200 school students, honour the school toppers of Triplicane, financial award to select College students and present SYMA Seva award.   As a Social Service Organisation, we deem it our duty to identify and honour those individuals who had rendered great service to the society.   

 

This year, the recipient of Syma Seva Award is Dr. I. Manavalan, Graduate Assistant in Govt Higher Secondary School, Thirupulivanam, Uthiramerur.   

He is a well-known personality who has consistently been at the forefront of selfless service by conducting tuition classes, mentoring and nurturing underprivileged students, donating blood, rendering various forms of social service, and extending a helping hand to those in need. His passion for education, reflected in his multiple academic degrees and doctorate in Education, his dedicated service as a teacher, and his untiring efforts in coaching students in his locality, is truly praiseworthy. He has also been one of the pillars of Sriraj Educational Trust, playing a vital role in carrying forward the lofty ideals of Mr. Sriraj and inspiring the younger generation. 

His discipline, methodical approach, organisational ability, and relentless pursuit of noble ideals are exemplary. SYMA considers him an outstanding role model and is proud to confer upon him the “SYMA Seva Award 2026” in recognition of his exceptional contributions towards the upliftment of the underprivileged through educational support, social service, and his enduring commitment to the welfare of society. 

He has been rendering social service, more specifically Educational service for couple of decades now.   He has been guiding and mentoring students for NMMSS -   The National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship Scheme  that  provides meritorious students from economically weaker sections with financial support.  He is conducting free tuitions for School toppers and other children.   He has been rightfully decorated as a member of the Tamil Nadu Text Book Society for Std 6-8 in Science, recognizing his efficiency in Science teaching.    

We pray to Lord Srinivasa to bestow on him and his family -  long life, good health, happiness, and continued vigour  enabling continuance of  his noble service to society for many more years to come.  Individuals like Dr. Manavalan are rare. They enrich society not merely through their scholarship but through the lives they transform. Such people deserve our highest admiration and respect. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmc8HOjCfyc

 

அறிவின் பரவசம் (Joy of Learning): ஒருவர் தாம் உயர் கல்வி படிப்பதனால்  அடையும் இன்பம், உலக மக்களுக்கும் சென்று சேருவதைக் கற்றவர்கள் காண்கிறார்கள். அந்த அறிவின் மூலம் மற்றவர்களின் அறியாமை அகல்வதைப் பார்ப்பது, அவர்களுக்கு மேலும் கற்க வேண்டும் என்ற பேராவலைத் தருகிறது.  நயம்பட  கற்றவர்கள் சுயநலவாதிகள் அல்லர்.  அவர்கள்  தாங்கள் பெற்ற அறிவு உலகத்தாரை நல்வழிப்படுத்துவதைக் கண்டு மகிழ்வர். அத்தகையோர்க்கு  பிறரின் அறியாமை நீங்குவது அவர்களுக்குப் பேரின்பம் தரும். இதோ செந்நாப்போதார் திருவள்ளுவரின் வாக்கு :

 

தாமின் புறுவது உலகின் புறக்கண்டு

காமுறுவர் கற்றறிந் தார். 

தாம் இன்புறுவதற்குக் காரணமான கல்வியால் உலகமும் இன்புறுவதைக் கண்டு, கற்றறிந்த அறிஞர் மேன்மேலும் (அக் கல்வியையே) விரும்புவர்.  இருண்ட அறையில் விளக்கேற்றும்போது இருள் விலகுவது போல, புதிய அறிவைப் பெறும்போது மனதில் உள்ள குழப்பங்களும் அறியாமையும் நீங்கி தெளிவு பிறக்கிறது. இந்தத் தெளிவு தரும் நிம்மதியே முதன்மையான பரவசம். 

It is perhaps fitting that a teacher devoted to spreading the light of knowledge serves in the historic village of Thirupulivanam, home to the ancient Sri Vyagrapureeswarar Temple where Sage Vyaghrapada worshipped Lord Shiva. May that sacred land continue to inspire his noble mission.

SYMA Growth students did well !!

 

Repost of 2016

 

posters have existed for centuries and TN has a history of posters - glamorous and political... this one is daringly different - has photos of 27 performers - of SYMA Growth students who excelled in +2 and X exams ... SYMA heartily thanks all our patrons and well-wishers :

TN +2 results : SYMA Growth students do well - 2026

கல்விதான் மம்மர் அறுக்கும் மருந்து

 

ஒருவனுக்கு அழிவு இல்லாத சிறந்த செல்வம் கல்வியே ஆகும், கல்வியைத் தவிர மற்றப் பொருள்கள் (அத்தகைய சிறப்புடைய) செல்வம் அல்ல!  கல்விதான் சமுதாயத்தையே மாற்ற வல்லது.

 

Srinivas Youngmen’s Association (popularly SYMA)  has been serving the society since 1977.  Our  services engulf  various lines such as civic welfare, medicine, health, environment, education, personality development more.   Education is the only thing that can change the lives of children coming from lower echelons of society.  We at SYMA  firmly believe that only quality education can improve them and ensure their moving to a higher echelon.   

Living in the Metropolis, the Capital Chennai has many advantages – but the Q is it the ‘ultimate destiny’ for high standard Education ??  Chennai is home to top-tier, premier institutions like IIT Madras and Anna University, making it a top choice for engineering and technology. The city has a high concentration of accredited schools and is a major hub for medical education and specialized training 

Around this time, Tamil Nadu State is very hot – the climate as also the atmosphere!  Tamil Nadu politics and cinema have been deeply intertwined since the 1940s.   When film star-turned-politician C Joseph Vijay's newly-formed political party won the most number of seats in the recent election in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, it was hailed as historic. But five days after Monday's vote-counting, political uncertainty prevails in the southern state, with no clarity on when a new government could be formed or who would form it.  No political post this  !!!  

The Directorate of Government Examination, Tamil Nadu (TNDGE) has  released the Tamil Nadu Higher Secondary Examination (TN HSE) plus 2 result today.  The Tamil Nadu Class 12 (+2) results were initially postponed as officials from the Directorate of Government Examinations had earlier stated that the results were still being processed and that a revised date for the declaration would be announced later.   

The Tamil Nadu Board Class 12 examinations were conducted from March 2 to March 26, 2026, for a total of 8,27,475 students, including nearly 7.99 lakh regular candidates and 27,783 private candidates. Tamil Nadu recorded 95.03 pass percentage for the Class 12 board exams this year, which is 0.17 per cent higher than last year’s 95.03 per cent. The exam took place in a single shift from 10 am to 1 pm on a daily basis. The duration of each paper was three hours. An extra fifteen minutes were given at the start of the examination, so that students could read the questions provided. 

Last year, TNDGE declared its class 12 results on same day [May 8].  This year the Overall Pass Percentage is : 95.20%  and as has been Girls outperformed boys.  The top performing Districts are :  Erode: 98.87%;         Sivaganga: 98.05% & Kanyakumari: 97.63%   Chennai's pass rate of 95.43% placed it at 20th statewide. However, specific schools within the city,   have historically shown varied performance.

 

Among SYMA’s  activities – the primary focus is on  : 

1) Medical Centre and Laboratory run for the poor wherein free consultation and medicines are provided – popularly known as ரெண்டு ரூவா மருத்துவமனை  [Rs. 2 hospital !]   We also have a Medical lab wherein blood and other tests are done at very nominal costs. 

2) SYMA Growth –   centre for coaching poor students of 10th and 12th standards.  Into its 17th  year now, this was inaugurated in  2008 and producing good results year after year, changing the lives of poor children.  The academic year 2020-21 was impacted by Covid.

  

 At SYMA Growth – a purposeful special tuition centre we provide quality educational support for economically backward children, a very high % of them are first generation students, lack support at home and do not have environment conducive for study at homefront.  We have 4 sections :  X Standard English two sections of around 30 students each and one +2 Commerce & one +2 Science. 

Today the +2 results have given us happiness.  Our students have performed reasonably well.  45 out of 47 students have passed out.   Yogesh from Science group has secured first mark with 537/600.  He got 99 in Tamil.  6 students have score above 500.   

The success of SYMA Growth in uplifting the students from lower echelons of society is fully because of the untiring efforts of teachers of SYMA Growth. We place on record our hearty thanks and gratitude to all those who supported us in this.  We thank the Management of NKT Boys High School,   Mrs Jayasudha Sanjeevi, Principal of SYMA Growth, all Teaching staff of Growth, all our Office bearers and all those who supported financially and otherwise. 

 

At this happy occasion, with the grace of Sri Parthasarathi Emperuman, we rededicate ourselves and will soon be commencing our classes for the  oncoming  academic year (ie., 2026-27) which will be our 18^th   year of Educational support  and together we will strive for betterment of society in providing quality tuition support to  students.   

You have supported us in a big way over the years – a BIG THANK YOU TO ALL  and look forward to your continued cooperation and support !   

 
With regards – S. Sampathkumar

SYMA in news !!!

 

SYMA has been in the forefront of social service since 1977 and SYMA  Medical Centre is into its 25th year .... here is an article in Today's The Hindu - Downtown..

(Special thanks to Mr SR Ragunathan, KV Srinivasan , Ms Liffy Thomas & Mr M Srinath)

 

Hindu Downtown Triplicane – this day 2014

 

 

 

SYMA honoured good Samaritan(s) - Childfest 2026

 

Imp Pre-script :  the mind blowing act of honesty   happened in Jan 2026, everybody from the CM to Corporates recognized the person.  Being a Triplicanite, SYMA thought it fit to honour them on stage – that of Childfest 2026 Prize Distribution.  A small write-up coming up rather belatedly. !!

 

The proverb "honesty is the best policy" originated in late 16^th -century England, emphasizing truthfulness as the wisest long-term strategy over deception. It reflects cultural values of integrity in personal and public affairs. Moral character is formed by one's actions. The habits, actions, and emotional responses of the person of good character all are united and directed toward the moral and the good. Character and action are intertwined  

 

The great Thiruvalluvar said : 

தூய்மை துணைமை துணிவுடைமை இம்மூன்றின்

வாய்மை வழியுரைப்பான் பண்பு.

 

It is slightly off the topic yet conveys :  in this Thirukkural, Valluvar highlights the qualities of – ‘Integrity, resourcefulness, soul-determined & truthfulness – as the hallmark of a person who can be a trusted emissary. Integrity and truthfulness are hallmark of great sincere honest people too !!  

Embezzlement in the Indian Penal Code (IPC) primarily falls under Section 405 (Criminal Breach of Trust), defining it as dishonestly misappropriating or converting entrusted property, with Section 406 dealing with general punishments, while Section 409 imposes stricter penalties for specific individuals like public servants, bankers, or agents.  Not to feel tempted and not to usurp other’s asset is a great virtue.    

 

In Indian ithihasam – the epic tale of Harishchandra stands out – a real tell-tale version of striking testament to unyielding honesty, pushing the limits of human endurance. King Harishchandra of Ayodhya, famed for truthfulness, boasted to sage Vishwamitra about his integrity.  He descended into poverty, working as a menial cremation ground keeper enduring lashes and humiliation while upholding his vow.

 

In the 17^th  century, Galileo Galilei honestly shared evidence that Earth orbits the Sun, despite opposition from authorities. Facing house arrest, his truth advanced science and earned posthumous vindication, proving honesty endures beyond personal risk. Benjamin Franklin exemplified honesty through his personal virtues and life experiences, often weaving it into his writings and actions. His autobiography and "Poor Richard's Almanack" highlight stories where truthfulness built trust and success. Franklin listed "Sincerity" as one of his 13 virtues: "Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and if you speak, speak accordingly." He tracked his adherence daily, crediting it for his influence and relationships, as it made others seek his company despite imperfections.

 

Honesty remains a timeless virtue, as illustrated in engaging moral stories that show truthfulness leading to rewards and inner peace.  Triplicane’s couple Mr Subramani & Mrs Padma are epitomes of these virtues.    

 

Srinivas YOungmens’ Association [SYMA] founded in 1977 has been actively engaged in social service, enabling betterment of the society in many ways.  From 1989, we have been running a Medical Centre, where free medical consultation and medicines are provided (at a notional fee of Rs.2/-).   From 2008, we are running a Free Educational support centre – SYMA Growth – taking care of more than 100 years every year. This centre has two X Std sections and one each of +2 Commerce & Science groups.  The beneficiaries are from the economically challenged group of citizens.

 

Childfest is our initiative for the past 3 decades – this year on 7^th & 8^th of Feb 2026  we conducted 10 competitions at NKT National Girls High School – more than 80 schools and 2000 students participated in the two day extraganza.    

0n 8^th Feb 2026 evening, Prize Distribution was held.  The Chief Guests were -  Subedar Major Anandasayanam, more than 3 decades of distinguished service in the Indian Army, (Army Service Corps);  Mrs. A. Jayanthi, a teacher in Army Public Schools across various states Mr Kasi Viswanathan, the Chief Executive Officer of the Chennai Super Kings  were on stage.  

On the stage – SYMA honoured Mrs Padma & Mr Subramani [for sure you have seen news about them in various media / social media and more] … still to recap.  In Jan 2026, Mrs Padma employed as a Conservancy worker found a bag in Maharajapuram Santhanam Salai, T Nagar .. .. .. and it was jewellery of 45 Sov (approx 50 lakhs worth!).  without battling an eye-lid, she along with her co-workers and husband went to Pondy Bazaar Police Station and handed over the bounty.  It was simple and plain – it was not mine, someone had missed it and it should reach them !!  moving back a few years, in Feb 2021, her husband Mr Subramani, an auto driver found a bag in Beach road and handed it over to Police – it contained Rs.1.75 lakhs in cash. 

Mr Subramani is well known to Triplicanites – he now drives an auto and earlier was a devoted Sripathamthangi (bearer of vahanams of Perumal) at Sri Parthasarathi swami thirukkovil.  They are shining jewels of Triplicane.    

 

SYMA thought it fit to honour them on stage as they will be a living example of honesty for the future generations.  Those on stage too felt overwhelmed in appreciating and honouring them on stage. 

Here are some photos of the honouring of the couples at SYMA stage on 8^th Feb 2026.

SYMA Childfest 2026 - bakthi song

 

Prefer singing a Bakthi song than a cine song !! 

 

"ஆத்மா ராமா ஆனந்த ரமணா அச்சுத கேசவ ஹரி நாராயண" என்பது  ஸ்ரீராமன், கிருஷ்ணன் என எம்பெருமான் ஸ்ரீமந்நாராயணனின்  புகழைப் பாடும் ஒரு பிரபலமான பக்திப் பாடல் (பஜன்).

 

எம்பெருமான் நாரணன் எல்லா இடங்களிலும், நம் உள்ளத்திலும் உறைகிறான் என்பதை உணர்த்தும் அமைதியான பாடல். இது 'பவ பய ஹரண' (வாழ்க்கை பயத்தை நீக்குபவர்), 'வந்தித்த சரண' (வணங்கத்தக்க பாதங்கள்) என இறைவனைப் போற்றுகிறது.

 

SYMA Childfest 2026 – Group singing competition – Don Bosco, MKB Nagar school – do listen on why they choose this song !!
