height of stupidity..

the over bridge in front of tidel park.


Most of us have noticed this over bridge near the tidel park.
the intent of the corporation here , is to avoid pedestrians crossing the road in peak hours.
Yeah hats off to them.. they have solved this issue, but they forgot about the people
getting down from the MRTS Train..

Think about this..
I am getting down from the train in platform which is in the third level,
I take 100 odd steps down to get to the entrance of the station...
[The answer from the officials if questioned "WE have escalators inside the station.."]
then again I need to climb up 50 odd steps and climb down the same odd 50 steps...
oh man..what a way to lose your carbs without any physical trainer...
thanks to Chennai corporation ...

so before i switch on my system...I have lost half of my energy...

so where does the innovation,technology gurus go..are they really blind ..

I get an answer, "oh c'mon man..they are already working on world's greatest projects..u know...
they don't have enough time to fix this small over bridge..."

"oh is it...." I am just surprised by this answer..is it true? I dont know the answer either..

"Why can't we have sky bridge directly from the platform which connects this ..." i ask my friend who is a civil engineer..
[ I had seen this in many down towns in US cities.I am sure there would have been an indian brain behind this So why not implementing here .]

"You mean to say..break all the windows and construct that..yeah better idea..but whos going to do all these...and whats the use.."

"I dont know who is gonna do this...but I am sure its gonna come in near future...If we act now , at the least we can save some INR in energy bills and also some time..in climbing up and down and wasting our energy..."

One side the Corporation encourages people to use public transport in return to the lost energy....
so what do we call this ..."height of stupidity"

a harsh way to say though..

Back to School..confessions..pages from the school memories rooted strong as the banyan

ஆலம் விழுதுகளாய் வேறூண்றி இருக்கும் பள்ளி நினைவுகளின் பதிப்புகளிலிருந்து ஒரு சில பக்கங்கள் ... In a way i am doing injustice to the English Teacher Nirmala Krishnaswamy(our x princi) by starting the blog in tamil[reason may be the effect of bunking the english classes:) ] at the  same time I am happy doing good justice to my tamil teacher Malarkodi.[ எல்லாருக்கும் எருமை தயிரு ஞாபகமிருக்கும்ன்னு நெனைக்குரேன். ] Anyways language is not a barrier for those wonderful journeys.! The transliteration of the starting lines... 'pages from the school memories rooted strong as the banyan' The banyan logo of the school perfectly suits the title of the post .Banyan represents eternal life because of its seemingly ever-expanding branches so as we are with lot of branches across the world by spreading the knowledge from those woods*. Lets board the time machine to take us back to the mid 80 s ,where most of the memories are still afresh . On the voyage there are l

My Formula is Cab

By
12.30 A.M., Parking Lot, Karapakkam Service Lane I woke up by a strong wind gushing thru my window and the fluttering sound of the trip sheets. I had just made a trip to perambur from karappakkam. I cud see a blurred image of the trip supervisor nearing my car. I wonder is it just fate or a passion for driving, for if it was passion I would have become Schumacher…[believe me I am not a fan or a follower of Schumacher. I hardly get time to even have a normal diet…just heard this name when one of the employee uttered this name. Out of curiosity, I was asking him who he was and what was special about him…] Then I told to myself , all the cab drivers are in a way F1 drivers...the Schumachers and Alonsos who drive their way to the chequered flag 18 times once in a year and during each race have pit stops compared to our drivers who also get lot of pits stops, rather all along the journey in the roads of C
