Views: 651 Feb 09, 2009 5:36 am Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Lavanya Karalkar Of late the obituary column in Hindu has become very thin as compared to average 14 announcements a day. Today,it is only four and even for the last fortnight starting I have been noticing a reduction in the announcments. Earlier, it would be the wife placing a separate ad for the husband and the daughter & family placing separate and son & family placing separate ad for the same person year after year. More than that separate institions remember their mentor in different different ads and each birthday anniversary and death day anniversary are remembered and made known to the world. But now except for our ex president Shri Venkatraman whose death was announced number of times, the advts. as such have diminished. There can be three reasons (or more???) as far as my limited knowledge infers: 1) Recesssiom 2) Reduction in number of deaths 3) People have found different ways to advertise their love for the deceased.

Occassionaly i check this page in the online edition of this daily, but i didnt observe this; Just for info: here u can archive all the obituary-columns published in The Hindu - in the below link, just replace with the date that you are looking for- http://hindu.com/2009/02/08/16hdline.htm Private Reply to stranger Feb 09, 2009 6:12 am re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Sekar Narasimhamurthy LKG must be observing these columns with business interest if not social service motive.. Cheers Private Reply to Sekar Narasimhamurthy Feb 09, 2009 6:34 am re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # SOEB FATEHI "People have found different ways to advertise their love for the deceased." - insensitive communication on a sensitive subject . . . . Private Reply to SOEB FATEHI Feb 09, 2009 7:19 am re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Lavanya Karalkar Stranger ..I am avid reader of obituary column in Hindu and used to get surprised at the way sometimes obituary ads are placed by the near and dear relatives separately. I used to wonder whether the husband/father would have been happy to see three ads placed differently by three members of his family ..goes to show how united they are !!! Now coming to the point, I have made the post only after going through the recent obituary ads in Hindu and today if you can see it is just 4 and day before also ( I think) it was just 4/5..Hence I just wondered whether recession has hit the obituary column too? Sekar Narasimhamoorthy..May be you are correct as regards to business POV. Soeb Fatehi..You won't be saying this if you keenly observe the obituary ads placed in the newspapers. Sometimes I wonder whether it shows their love for the deceased or whether they want to show who they are..Hence, the words.. May be you feel it is insensitive communication but except for a few who really mean well when they place the ad in the obituary column. in my openion, others do it to advertise their love/ themselves only. I stand and sit by my words. Private Reply to Lavanya Karalkar Feb 09, 2009 7:42 am re: re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Basab Ghosh Dharna going on here also! Private Reply to Basab Ghosh Feb 09, 2009 8:09 am re: re: re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Senthil Nathan "others do it to advertise their love/ themselves only" I agree on this LK(G) Is obituary columns a real necessity. I strongly believe there is no necessity to express your love through obituary advertisements unless its for publicity. Obituary adds were placed to inform the readers that so and so is dead and if your are known to them and if not informed in person do join the mourning or so. The name of the wife, children or the organisation he/she is associated is given, just to identify the person, not to get publicity for the advertiser. If you want to express your luv to the dead buy some good food and give it to some beggars. Or if you have more money go to a Old age home / Orphanage and make those there happy atleast for that day. The Hindu orbituary adds should be just to give information to others and not to make publicity.

Private Reply to Lavanya Karalkar Feb 09, 2009 12:33 pm Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Basab Ghosh Irrelevant it may be to you, but it keeps the post up at the top, doesn't it? By the way, it is you who wanted to sit by your comment on obit. Private Reply to Basab Ghosh Feb 09, 2009 1:54 pm re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Pudumai Balakrishnan Balakrishnan LK! we are all reading birth day, going abroad / returning from abroad, awards etc in news coloumns. you are different. you are interested in obituary coloumn. i am happy that you may read my name in obituary coloumn one day and inform ryze friends! Private Reply to Pudumai Balakrishnan Balakrishnan Feb 09, 2009 4:54 pm re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Lavanya Karalkar Pudumai..if you want a 'pudumaiyana payaNam' to heaven after death, please contact any of the 'Pathway Inc' representative who can be easily recognisable in railway platforms, local trains and bus stations too. Jokes apart, Pudumai, everyone will become eligible to be notified in the obituary column ..you first - me first who knows? I too celebrate birthdays, I too go abroad (but no announcment made by me like SVN..going announced/coming back announced ..but why no pic SVN with the travel luggage in front of the flight) but as I read everything from the loose notebook paper given to me by the wadawala, I too read obituary. Private Reply to Lavanya Karalkar Feb 10, 2009 2:41 am re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # SOEB FATEHI in which dictionary have you read, "Recesssiom" . . . ? but it is fact - you never inform when you go abroad from egmore to chinchpokli and from kasara to guindy . . . . . coming to think of it i think it is feminine trait and i like the way some ladies always inform about their sisters accomplishments and are modest about their own always . . . . Private Reply to SOEB FATEHI Feb 10, 2009 3:16 am re: re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Kanchana Ravichandran SF, its very natural. Its upto the sister to do the same - however, in most cases it is overlooked :) At such times, its normally an observant person like u who bring it to everyone's notice. Cheers kanchana Private Reply to Kanchana Ravichandran Feb 10, 2009 3:55 am re: re: re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Senthil Nathan @Soeb I think the reply from Kanchana is a sharp reply from the female community. Dont get much of irke to them... and this their own area dont peek much into it. "Idhu yenga(female) area ulla varatha" Private Reply to Senthil Nathan Feb 10, 2009 4:32 am Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # stranger Lavanyaji, really i wonder how such things come to your notice? room pOttu yosipeengalO? "Platform-la yethu room?" Private Reply to stranger Feb 10, 2009 5:08 am re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Kanchana Ravichandran Ah ha Senthil. That was not what I meant and am sure SF understood it too. I was in fact saying nice things that in case if the other sister did not mention the achievements, we normally have someone like Soeb, BG or Stranger (to mention a few) to do the honours. Another proof of how messages can be misinterpreted and sparks off a lively/heated debate - adding spice to an otherwise regular post :) Have an awesome day. kanchana Private Reply to Kanchana Ravichandran Feb 10, 2009 6:22 am re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Senthil Nathan @Kanchana Again too sharp here. On time to put an end to the escalation.... Private Reply to Senthil Nathan Feb 10, 2009 7:17 am re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Lavanya Karalkar Senthil Nathan (keeping his hands on his head a la vadivelu eshtyle) 'Intha Pengalai purinchukkarathe romba problema pochuppa - support pannap pona nammaiye thiruppik kadikaranga' (Translation : It is difficult to understand these ladies.. I go to support them and then they hit me back') Don't you worry Senthil Nathan.. SF mentions "but it is fact - you never inform when you go abroad from egmore to chinchpokli and from kasara to guindy . . . . . " Soeb Fatehi! You need to be educated more about Pathway Inc which has overseas operations all over the world and I am sure you will agree that CEO's periodical visits are absolutely necessary to coordinate. Now please don't ask who is the CEO of Pathway Inc. Private Reply to Lavanya Karalkar Feb 10, 2009 8:54 am re: re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Basab Ghosh What about the sister? Win any more gold coins? Private Reply to Basab Ghosh Feb 10, 2009 11:04 am re: re: re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Lavanya Karalkar BG..again I am very sorry to point out that you have gone your irrelevant way. When we are talking about the CEO of Pathway Inc. why bring the sister in? she may ne busy either flaunting her grand daughters or the gold coins to the world Private Reply to Lavanya Karalkar Feb 10, 2009 1:35 pm re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Pudumai Balakrishnan Balakrishnan LK! in pondicherry the following slogan is written on the compound wall of the entrance of a burial and cremation ground: Inru Ivar, Naalai Nee!

Private Reply to Pudumai Balakrishnan Balakrishnan Feb 10, 2009 1:51 pm re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Lavanya Karalkar pudumai , it would have sounded better and respectful if the same was written as 'Indru Ivar, Naalai naam' serithane? 'Nee' sounds disrespectful na? In Pathway Inc. even the dead is treated as VIP. Private Reply to Lavanya Karalkar Feb 10, 2009 2:19 pm re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Pudumai Balakrishnan Balakrishnan LK! now you know why i keep on posting for your msg! Private Reply to Pudumai Balakrishnan Balakrishnan Feb 10, 2009 2:54 pm re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Senthil Nathan @Lk(G) Thanks for your support. But being a critic to the core, what to do everything appears on the wrong side for me. I was answering keeping LK(G) in mind but Kanchana came in middle(who is comparatively a serious person). All in the game. Private Reply to Senthil Nathan Feb 10, 2009 3:05 pm re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # stranger //when you return madras pl. inform.// Pudumai anaa bayamma irukku anna.. airport-lae arrest paNNa pOreengaLa :) Private Reply to stranger Feb 10, 2009 3:24 pm re: re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Kanchana Ravichandran Ah ha Senthil - there u r at it again! Maybe if u were jus directing it at LK u got to mention that in brackets so that the likes of me will not reply. And for your info - am not a "serious person". People who know me would prefer to call me as a "she is a jolly good fellowe" Private Reply to Kanchana Ravichandran Feb 10, 2009 4:01 pm Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # stranger Senthil nanba... Kanchanaji solrathu 100% right. so v can fight with her :) Private Reply to stranger Feb 10, 2009 4:08 pm re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Lavanya Karalkar KR and seriouness are like platform # 1 and Platform # 9 in Central station. Private Reply to Lavanya Karalkar Feb 11, 2009 2:07 am re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # SOEB FATEHI LK(g) . . . . . "are modest about their own always . . . . " is enough to suggest that i need little education about pathway inc . . . . . how can you forget who brought pathway to the platform it now occupies? btw - actually CEO when called out to in Chennai reminds me of one Winnie(the Pooh)'s best friends . . . . . Private Reply to SOEB FATEHI Feb 11, 2009 4:39 am Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # stranger //KR and seriouness are like platform # 1 and Platform # 9 in Central station. // thank god, u didnt compare her with platform 9 3/4 of London King's Cross railway station! :)) Private Reply to stranger Feb 11, 2009 7:48 am re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Basab Ghosh How's the obit columns doing now LK(g)? Private Reply to Basab Ghosh Feb 11, 2009 12:03 pm re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Lavanya Karalkar Now numbers have increased but many are remebrances/anniversaries . number of new death ads have dwindled. Private Reply to Lavanya Karalkar Feb 11, 2009 12:37 pm re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Kanchana Ravichandran Look at the brighter side - means that there r lesser deaths these days :) Private Reply to Kanchana Ravichandran Feb 11, 2009 12:57 pm re: re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Basab Ghosh You call that brighter! There is less air to breath for everyone! Private Reply to Basab Ghosh Feb 11, 2009 1:17 pm re: re: re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # Lavanya Karalkar KR.. May be there are more deaths some sentimental, some political, some natural but due to recession ads are not being placed in the obituary columns. The anniversary (death) ads are placed may be due to earlier arrangments. BG nowadays you are becoming snobbish ..may be due to the company you re keeeping. Private Reply to Lavanya Karalkar Feb 11, 2009 2:01 pm re: re: re: re: re: re: Has Recession hit obituary columns too? # SOEB FATEHI i think that is a direct reference to Basab wanting to tow along . . . .
