Acid rain in Chennai

Don't panic it is not literal acid but a metaphorical one. Probably Poes Garden, maybe Gopalapuram I can't imagine any other area in Chennai to be drained. So why is this? every time? we pray for rain and when it comes we are always unprepared, even for moderate showers our roads are flooded. Is it because Chennai is an old city and its infrastructure not enough for information age or is that because of the vote bank politics? By now you'd have guessed what I quoted as 'Acid rain', it is that one created by the broadcasting network. Nowadays every political party is having its own network, you do the math and imagine the amount of 'Angel and Demon' perspective we are exposed to. From every network that is with the ruling party, we are shown the 'Angel face' emergency number, disaster recovery team, ambulance gushing thru flood, evacuation and so on. Other side which clearly outnumbers the ruling party in 4:1 ratio shows us flood, death, dengue, sew...

MTC is listening are you talking

What is your opinion about MTC? The question shall ignite rage and bring down a rain of swear words. MTC went on strike, yes; their conductors never gives change, tell me about it; drivers are agents of Yama, of course. But do you know MTC is striving hard to replicate a corporate working environment! I realized this on a fateful day which crunched my backbone as I stood in mouse-foot space, a sticker grabbed my attention it had feedback details of MTC. I took out my smart phone and started drafting a mail to that id, knowing I won't get any response. As I pressed send I received an automated reply, I saw light but weeks passed without actual response hope died with memory. A week back I got a neatly written reply mail from them, voila! This is MTC telling that necessary action will be taken to operate the bus as planned.

Sanatorium - MEPZ foot over to get escallator

On the GST road, Chennai if you can make a list of  busiest junctions with separate/safe path for pedestrians MEPZ junction would top it. And so to safe people from madly crossing drivers who has no driving sense or time traffic rules authorities have came up with a foot-over. The construction is happening at lighting speed that we can except it to be fully complete in couple of weeks. The key attribute to this foot-over will be the escalators that are going to accompany ordinary and spiral stairs. The whole construction is giving a face lift to the corridor which is otherwise bored with traffic. Here are the two photos of escalators, both of them should be taking the people from ground to top as descending is always considered easier than climbing.

Is it Ooty Is it Bangalore no its Chennai

I thought its going to be just another day except that I have to report to GWFM on 20-Feb-12. That day I decided to go in bike so that I need not waste time in going round the city and so had to hit the Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam highroad. Soon after leaving home I realized that the day is still cold and now its 8am, later dropped dad in Chromepet railway station so that he can go to his office then traveled towards north to reach the particular highroad On that day, image not from Exact Highroad, 20-02-2012 0915hrs I have a good habit of not cleaning my PC so that it can last for some more years, I follow the same for every other device so does the visor will remain undusted or more brutally shabby. Half way I raised my visor so that I can see that road clearly, OMG! its all fog!! or is that city has already celebrated its Diwali'12 without my knowledge :P Visibility level was too low anything beyond 200m will be not be noticed. Fog staye...

why do people sweat more in chennai???

One of the famous ornament of chennai is its summer!. Everyone here would have at least once talked about its effect and the way they affected. People comes out with sweats flowing from the body is the usual scene of chennai noon. The sweat produced is not just due to the temperature of the region. It is in fact due to the high humidity of chennai. To explain this lets see a fact, people in chennai sweats more than the people in delhi where the temperature is higher than the former. This is because of chennai's location. Chennai is located near sea due to which sea water evaporation is high during summer which in turn increases the humidity (Amount of water vapour present in air). Normally human blood temperature is about 35 deg Celsius. If the outside temperature is more than that, then our system tries to automatically cools down by releasing sweat from the body. The sweat which is released cools the surrounding heat by converting into vapour thereby reducing the body te...

Is Ritchie street a cheaper destination

Yes, but it is only for those people who can roam much than Hutch dog! Or you must be a regular visiting costumer (like a system assembler / service engineer). As it is believed widely that Ritchie street is the cheapest destination, so most people goes in without knowing market price and with zero bargain knowledge. BARGAIN! in Ritchie street how can I my friend it is going to be cheap anyway! nah you'r wrong. If you go in without any knowledge you'll get punished to pay more! they'll quote it as high standard product,  rare product! with high warranty and all sort of things to make you believe you are not paying less. As you know in every place there is someone loyal to everyone search for that kind of person know the exact rate move to next store bargain as if you know the person how manufactured it, see the magic happen! I would like to share a similar experience. I went to buy D-USB cable, many didn't have it only one store had...

LAST PICK ALWAYS WORKS FOR CSK

Chennai, 10-04-2011 This year Tim Southee is the last man picked by CSK for IPL'11 in replacement for injured Doug Bollinger, who was picked last for IPL'10 in similar situation and it worked like magic. Southee showed his master class in the last over of CSK versus KKR match here on Friday, recovering from injury Bollinger is set to return soon to continue his magic. With CSK having five Indian Batsmen namely Captain MS Dhoni, M Vijay,S Anirudh, S Badrinath,SK Raina playing well and with good fielding skill allows Captain MSD to spin in different foreign players. Also Chennai Super Kings is blessed with our own world class spinner R Ashwin with pace begin only doubt with India CSK players and these two foreigners playing fit and hard, CSK is complete and all set to lift the cup. Moral: There will be only one job left for the tans; Team Selectors/Staff to do "is to whistle" WHISTLE PODU!! CHEERS!
