The Mylapore life..

Night life in Mylapore has always been exciting. When the darkness descends upon this part of The Great Chennai, the activities people carry out gradually increases. The part of the day becomes quite hectic for the sellers and road-side vendors who deal with products like flowers, fruits and vegetables. While these people make themselves busy hawking for their customers, the people who approach these low profile pushers would have something running on their minds. Since it is almost the twilight part of the day, most people would be heading back home after a busy day and this is when the Mylaporeans start releasing the pressure that has been building up within them for the whole day. Hence, the atmosphere will carry a pleasant vibe because everyone knows they would soon be experiencing a sense of real rest at their places very soon. Reaching home after a busy day to meet the loved ones always gives great pleasure to professionals who hardly find time to spend with their family members. This fact adds more essence to the twilight at Mylapore. I am pretty much for all the happenings in Mylapore. This is one of the most auspicious places in Chennai and at the stroke of 6 P.M, the temples with which the whole locality is filled with will start playing divine music and recorded mantras characteristic of the deity being celebrated there. In some temples, the head priests start praising the deity using vocals framed by saints who lived several thousands of years ago.
I always loved to walk down the streets of Mylapore closer to the tank, which is one of the largest of its kind. Optical disturbances in the vicinity of the tank are very much low and that is the specialty of Mylapore tank which is otherwise known as Kapali tank. The only light that the waters of the tank reflect would be the rays that are incident on the water surface directly coming from the serial lamps and other decorative lights that adorn the majestic Kapaleeswarar Temple. I love to stand by the tank and watch the fishes that frequently turn visible under the lights that come from the temple's tall tower. A common scene would be some people feeding fishes with jaggery and sometimes even biscuits!


When you keep walking for a couple of minutes, you would reach the end of one side of the tank. When you take a right turn to follow the second adjacent edge of the tank, you would find a colorful street filled with people and shops that are dedicated to jewelry and apparels. This part of Mylapore is really the happening region of the city because it will always be found carrying a festival ambiance on every single day of the year. The third edge of the tank is quite narrow and houses the spiritual entry to the temple. This is the place from where the tank gets the light that it reflects without any flaws. The fourth edge is quite distinctive in its own way and is the most commercial one among the four. The grocery shops, vegetable vendors, supermarkets and other commercial places would be spotted here. Thus, if you have been thinking Mylapore is nothing more than a small area that is known for the temples and religious centers, you should consider updating your information about the place. It is a small world by itself and has everything a man requires in life, starting from spirituality to entertainment passing through culture, heritage and history!

Roaring road accidents..

Road accidents are happening at an exponential rate now a days and your vehicle bumping into one of them will be the most unfortunate thing ever. It’s always better to get prepared before hand and auto body shops city of industry makes that easy for you. Collision Repair expert comprises a big chain of auto body workshops that effectively bridge their customers with the best auto repair shops in the town. They have incorporated strict quality measures within their network to ensure that they provide the best to their customers. They personally call back every customer and evaluate their experience, based on which a rating is given to every auto body work shop that is publicly posted in their website. You can also fix appointment online and be assured that your vehicle is in the best hands in town. With Chennai fast developing a sophistaceted and modernizied metropolitan city everyday, accidents have become very common on the roads that people don't even care to help the ones who got their heads into these unfortunate twist provided by their fate. I would like to see the Traffic department coming up with innovative, useful and really sensible road rules to overcome these accidents that often prove fatal for some people. Instead of forcing the bikers to wear helmets, the Government can give bringing in the vehicle lanes on the roads some thought. You would find such lanes only on roads with heavy traffic. But, that makes me wonder why there are no such lane discipline rules available for Grand South Trunk road that connects the city to other southern parts of Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu Police department should realize their purpose which is to ensure safety of society and public and they should also understand their hands can be put to good use other than saluting higher officials and blocking drivers for not following the rules which seem to have been designed only for the benifit of these vagabonds in khakis.

Pointless Punter's tamed team..


It's quite usual to find Ponting, who Australians call a cricketer, come up with strange issues totally irrelevant to what he is involved in at that point of time. When the first test between India and Australia ended in a draw, Ponting started throwing ridiculous comments at the Indian cricket. When India won the second test in a great style making way for the second biggest victory in terms of the difference of runs, Ponting's nerves felt the chill and he was desperate to antagonize the Indians through his comments during press conferences. The first allegation proved that Australians are no more with their minds on the ongoing series but have started concentrating on proving the world not that they are the best but India is not the best. Now, it was time to make a big move and Australians knew they could do nothing about the game since the series was almost out of their reach. This time, they had no reasons to point to India since the Indians were flatly flawless in the game and the backstage comments during press conferences as well. Indian press conference saw replies from the Indian captain staying at the peak of optimism for the next game while the Australian captain left his mind wander along the past where Indians and Australians almost had brutal statements for each other. While Indians changed their mentality to quit making childish allegations against their opponents, Australians were never in a position to grow up and learn the word 'MATURITY'. Finally, the grand knockout blow from India came in the last test, which most thought would go the Australian way. The game was carried on till the last day and at last, Aussies' tombstone was erected right in front of a large crowd and what came with it was the downfall of Australian attitude and negative aggression. Now, Indians have prove to the world cricket is really a gentleman's game.

M-Theory offers solution

M-theory is one of the latest theories in the scientific field that has offered to solve the mystery behind the origin of the universe. M theory was proposed by Ed Witten according to which the whole universe in which we are living in, is nothing but a large membrane stretched out. It also says that our universe was formed by the collision of two such membranes which we call the Big Bang, millions of years ago. Though this theory is famous among all physicists around the world, no experimental evidence has yet been produced to firmly ground this theory in the scientific community.

Time to say good bye..



Finally, my expectations were defeated in my house last night at 7. I love kittens and especially the ones that were with me till yesterday. Putting a denial in front of you against the fact that my parents and I faced a lot of problems because of these kittens will be totally unfair. I do accept that we were on a S**T job till yesterday. But, they are 3 month old kittens. It's hard and unacceptable to expect discipline and good behavior from them. Their actions can be justified when we consider the moments when we totally forgot what discipline really means. I can prove anyone who says the kittens are bad wrong because they are not really bad. They are kittens. They are innocent except for when they run behind their preys. That is their way of life. That is how they are calibrated by God to live. The mother gave birth to 4 cute and adorable kittens 3 months ago. About 50 days back, the eldest kitten, which I call that way keeping in mind its size and weight, passed away after suffering almost for a week from some bacterial infection. I dug him a graveyard in my backyard and gave him a muddy send off party. I still remember his eyes. They looked innocent and tired. After making sure that wouldn't happen again to any of the remaining kittens, I was determined to grow them till they became independent. They grew up. They were with me till yesterday. I knew it was time to get them over to a safe place so that all the discomforts my parents felt with 3 kittens at home would be thrown away. I even decided a safe place for these kittens near my friend's place. I chose that place because it was dark, safe and closer to my friend's place, which I visited habitually. I wanted to make sure I see them grow though they couldn't be kept at my place anymore. When I came home to get these kittens readied for a journey they have never been on in their lives, I found two of the kittens missing already. I understood what could have happened in my absence. My parents took the kittens to a not so posh area near my place and set them free. They say they set them FREE. They never knew they have toppled the lives of two small creatures. The third one was so lucky that my parents couldn't get their hands on it since it is a hyper-active kitten and is the eldest now. Now, all that I am left with in my place is a kitten who is still searching for his sister and brother. I hope the other two lives as long as the cat with the longest life on Earth lived.

The playboy police..

Yesterday, Tamil Nadu witnessed the incapable and inefficient act of Tamil Nadu Police department. Honestly, the cops never acted appropriate to the situation and they stood watching the incidents which shouldn't have been allowed to be staged within a college where Law lives. Dr.Ambedkar's Law college is one of those average law colleges available in the state where reservation plays a bigger role than law. Hence, reservation gave way for hooligans to enter the college in the name of students. I don't know what the issues were all about. But, I could see few arrogant and uncontrollable brutes attacking fellow students using highly dangerous weapons. A student was viciously attacked by the group of people whose appearances were not even a step closer to students. The student tried hard to protect himself from these ruthless criminals who seemed too brave when several around them are there to support them. They think world would place them as high as Napoleon Bonaparte and Alexander. But, they never realized the fact that they are actually cowards who tried to attack weaker people in groups. When these cowards were busy with the brutality, the policemen watched the happenings without a motion. I was watching these incidents on the TV and these policemen were watching it it live. Then how can you call me different from these pathetic creatures in khakis? Give me a good reason to differentiate me from these policemen. I don't understand what the Police department is trying to do. They catch hold of people who don't follow traffic rules but they let go those who produce extremely violent actions in front of them. Our policemen need a little tweak-up and they should be taught what they are supposed to do when they are in khakis. I guess movies like 'Khaaka Khaaka' and 'Vetayadu Vilayadu' carried these policemen away and they are now too far from their actual jobs. I really doubt who these people are who called themselves students. Are they followers of a political party and is it that why the policemen didn't take any actions to curb the unfortunate incidents that took place in front of them?

Where is the bloody equality?

India appears to be a secular country to the eyes of world nations. It might be considered as the largest Democracy in the world. It may seem to be right on the road to development in various fields. Other nations may feel Indians in India are lucky to have born in such a wonderful nation. If you are one of those who think this way of India, I wish to slap you right on your face and ask you "Is this really a secular Democratic country?". If you need an answer to that question, let me explain few things to you about the real India. You might also be aware of the fact that India occupies 14th place in the list of Nations suffering from poverty. Do you know what is the reason? It's a simple one word answer. Politicians. Just for the sake of petty votes from the minority community, which is found in majority in the country, these politicians introduced what is known as reservation for minorities. As a result, most of those highly qualified and talented students belonging to forward class are suppressed to stay low in numbers when it comes to admission in Government institutions. This has led to the educational institutions being filled up by people most of who don't even deserve an entrance to such institutions. A student belonging to scheduled caste/tribe or Backward class, who scored 50% in the 12th grade examinations can easily get an admit in the professional bodies and educational institutions because the boundary mark for these people are less than what they manage to score most of the times. On the other hand, those highly efficient and capable students belonging to forward class are denied admissions even if they have secured more than 80%. Here, the politicians have dug a grave for the nation and they go around calling themselves the saviors of the country's face. In a country where talent is put behind votes, the scope for development is not at the ground level. It is somewhere in the negatives. If you call India a Democratic nation and if you say everyone is equal in front of law, then where is the equality in the nation where reservation has been spoiling the lives of millions of able people belonging to forward class from day one of Independence? If equality is what India is known for, then why a student belonging to the forward caste has not been given reservation while those belonging to the so called suppressed classes of the society enjoy reservations at the cost of lives of the really good ones? Reservation is just a piece of bone politicians are using to make the people belonging to what are called oppressed classes to earn their votes. India is nothing more than this. Now answer my question. Where is the bloody equality in the Nation?

Cable TV services

Today, there are three main means of communication. The first one is through media, which has become a very powerful communication tool. Media has proved that news can travel faster than light! The second is through internet. The internet revolution has already begun long back and now, wonders are being built over the net. If there is something in the universe, that has got to be on the internet. Thus, internet has compressed the size of the massive Universe in a 15" or a 17" computer monitor. The third and the live means of communication is over the telephone, which allows any individual to spread any news even he/she finds factual. Thus, without these three main modes of communication, world would have been a darker place than what it is now! To add more brightness to the world of communication, Cable TV bundles, a cable and internet service provider, has dedicated its work in the field of communication technology to the people to serve them better than ever before. Cable TV bundles is one of the cable and internet services provided by Bridgevine, which attempts to take news to every home in the country. The fact to be noticed here is that Bridgevine offers so many packages to choose from so that you can get what you feel is good and affordable for you. Thus, the attempt to bring you home the world through cables for internet, telephone and cable TV services has taken a big leap. Get the most of it now!

India-No scope of development..

Yesterday, after winning the race to The White House, Mr.Obama in front of a huge crowd in his hometown. I couldn't not believe the jubilation and the excitement that was found in the air. People were cheering their new leader and there was a complete cooperation among every single person in the crowd which added the respect to America in me. I can see it only as a country filled with more Gentleman than any other country. Something that appeared very satisfying was the appearance of the Republican candidate, Mr. McCain, in front of a huge crowd, which supported him for the past 14 months. He congratulated his opponent for winning the election and making it into the White House. I just wanted to realize the contrasts between the real politicians in America and these hooligans in India who call themselves politicians and leaders of political parties that are against the views of a particular section of a people when it comes to a bridge or a belief. So, i switched over to another Indian channel that covers everything that happens in the Indian political arena. Immediately, I fond a politician accusing his opposition and talking everything futile about the other party. That was when I felt bad for the people of India. They are the followers of Gandhi and they feel non-violence is the solution for any known problem. But, these political pigs are making fools out of these peaceful followers and they do all harm to the people of the nation and still get away with everything and win the elections once again next time. I was wondering why India didn't go for a Presidential democracy as most of the developed countries have done today and opted for a Parliamentarian democracy. The answer is quite simple. When the Government comes under the scrutiny of one man called the President, everything works well and the machine runs smooth with the least possibility of corruption creeping into the system. Our politicians don't want that. They wanted a Parliamentarian Democracy so that each and every bloody corrupted politician can get their share of people's money in all the possible crooked ways and no one would blame them because no politician is good here to point out the mistakes of another politician. This is the fate of this nation which was once considered a 'Punya Bhoomi'. It is no more a land of prosperity. It has become the birth place for corruption and tainted politicians, who care the least for the people. With the politicians being so cunning and people being so harmless, the country is expected to become a super power by 2020. For all those who believe India is right on the track of development, this is all I've got to tell you:
