History of Trichy --Diary Entry of today.
Advocate Vasudevan

In today’s diary entry of Trichy, we shall read about K.Vasudevan [1924-1998], an outstanding lawyer. Vasudevan was the eldest son of N.V.Krishnaswamy Iyengar and Kanakavalli Ammal.He was born in Kumbakonam on 12/11/1924.His father, N.V.Krishnaswamy Iyengar was a successful lawyer practising civil law in Ariyalur. Even as a very young boy Vasudevan exhibited his father’s sharp intellect and quick grasp. After his primary and secondary education at Ariyalur, he finished his intermediate course in Annamalai University.Later, he pursued his higher education in Law and enrolling himself as a junior to his father skillfully picked up legal training. Being surprised at his son’s extraordinary brilliance, N.V.K.Iyengar sent him to Trichy. Starting his legal practice at Trichy, Vasudevan proved his mettle by taking up a great number of difficult legal cases and with his brilliant reasoning, emerged triumphant. Though he took up a majority of civil cases, he also argued periodically in some criminal cases. .Recognizing his skill in the legal profession, the government appointed him as Government Pleader. After his tenure as Government Pleader in Trichy District court for four years, he resumed his private practice.
He was a person who would never demand his fees voluntarily from his clients. He would also not persist against the opponent when his case was a weak one. Moreover, he would never divert or mislead a case lest the judge should give an unjust verdict. This had made judges openly extol his magnanimity and professional integrity. Moreover, as he was well versed in the nuances of law, judges sought his expert advice and referred to him for former case studies. He had a phenomenal memory and could recall very old cases argued many years ago and could quote all relevant data, regarding case studies, verdicts and even respective sections of Law pertaining to those cases.
He was a great mentor to his junior lawyers and played a big part in guiding them. He would delegate cases to his juniors and give constructive criticisms about their merits and demerits and encourage them. Currently practising, popular lawyers John Louis, Pasupathy, Gurumurthy, MuthuVenkataseshan and Vellayan are some of his juniors. This outstanding lawyer passed away on February 27th 1998.His wife is V.Saroja and he has two daughters Malathy Sridharan and KalaVijayaraghavan. His brother K.Padmanabhan, a resident of Trichy, is a retired Chairman of Ordnance Factory.

Tips to write your admission essay and personal statement.

Admission essays and personal statements make a very important part of an application to any Educational institution. Candidates need to convey their eligibility to the admission panel in as clear a manner as possible.
Now, how can this be done? Performance alone that constitutes previous records cannot be described in a monotonous way. Apart from performance it is the presentation that plays a crucial part.
Arresting introduction
The introduction must be arresting. You have to catch hold of the reader’s attention and hold it till the end. The admission panel has to go through countless number of applications and people would go to sleep if they are going to read longwinded recommendations and self acclaims. Do not imagine the murder of a grandfather or father and write fictitious episodes. Write relevant authentic incidents in an arresting manner.
Logical Flow of ideas.
Ideas must be sequential. They should logically flow in every paragraph and there must not be incoherent ramblings. Transition of ideas must be smooth and not disjointed. There should be no repetition whatsoever...
All the achievements of the candidate must be presented. They should reflect the positive outcomes of the extra curricular and volunteer activities. The resultant specific skills must be highlighted.
Preliminary Homework and Research
The candidate must do his preliminary homework regarding the course content, University and must be able to assess where the skills acquired would come in handy regarding his future career. There must be distinct focus in stating the choice of a particular Major and the allied credits that he wishes to take.
Short term and long term career goals
There must be clarity and certainty about future plans and there must be no scope for vagueness. The voluntary activities that the candidate hopes to take up must be clearly stated...The statement must convey the candidate’s willingness to go through the curriculum in the best manner possible where he/she would put in the best of efforts This means that the statement must clearly convey the candidate’s motivation level .
Word limit, grammar and punctuation,
The statement should adhere to the word limit specified in the application form and not be too short. Do not repeat ideas in order to fill in the word limit.
Do not use capital letters where they are not called for.
There must be NO grammatical errors and do not rely on MS word tools alone to correct the grammatical errors. Check with a professional and see that the statement is read, reread and edited before the final submission.
Sentence structure
There must be a judicious mix of simple, complex and compound sentences. Avoid verbosity, word play and be lucid in your writing style. Simple, clear sentences would be much more effective than long sentences designed to impress. Passive voice of the verb should be minimized. Do not write an autobiography, giving importance to trivia; make sure that whatever you write is related in some way or the other to your qualities that count.
If three parts of the statement needs to be written as answers to three questions, see that every answer is relevant to the particular question asked e.g... If a question regarding past voluntary activities is to be answered, only the activities and the accompanying skills acquired need to be written there.
Conclusion
To summarize, the statement must convey the candidate’s sincerity in approach, capacity for hard work, interest in the pursuit of a particular subject and his clarity of thought... His personal qualities that would be an asset to the curriculum must be highlighted. It should make the authorities feel that losing the particular candidate would indeed be a loss to the institution and on no account the candidate must be allowed to go to another University.
