30.4.2014 In tambaram bus stand, outside the railway station, i boarded my bus which is last service to thirukkalukundram by 11:30 pm. The bus is already running late, which is expected to come by 10:30 pm. It was understood that due to traffic between guiindy and cmbt, this will happen. But what happened next? i reached perungalathur at 12.20 am. 40 mins to reach less than 4 kms. Then i was at home by 1:10 am in thirukkalukundram to watch the champions league semifinal between chelsea and athletico madrid. What was the stress felt by the driver, and ofcourse the passengers? In this blog i already recorded few happenings like this, an alternative way to change some bus stops either govenment buses or omni buses to guduvanchery bus stand, which was scarcely used after 9 pm. It is better that after 9 pm the state government can give order to the transport corporation to stop all its mofussil bus services to enable omni buses to ride smoothly. Either you live or i live, it is n...

11.03.2014. night 11.00 pm...the bus came as it is the most reliable than 108 services. Waited in old bus stand, chengalpattu. Boarded the bus and bought the ticket by giving rs. 11. rs. 10 and 1 one rupee coin, to facilitate conductor to give change rs.2. he gave the change of my rs.1 to my next co-passenger who gave rs.10. when i saw the conductor for the change....he just checked all the coins and replied that he had all one rupee coins and no two rupee coins and asked me to wait. In the next stop, the crowd filled the bus and my change rs.2 was gone. By observing, to my knowledge, he said the word, that he will give change to atleast 4 persons belonging to my row and two of my front rows. It is the peak of frustration. How much it will take time to shout at him, or to man handle him? You are returning home after work and he is also closing his duty. Where all the coins in his bag is going to go? Or my thinking was wrong to help the conductor to give 2 rs change instead of ...

Just thought of the link between money spending/saving and the human personality. Introverts never spend money such easily, rather extroverts will spend money without any hesitations. May be this psychology will be known for all. People who are giving money to the others when they are in need, are more open with their plans, lifestyle, attitude and often earning "not good" name among his working class. People who are accumulating money without thinking others need, are not more open with their lifestyle, uncontrollable and being controlled by situations. They will save money with only aim of future not considering present, because if they consider present, they definitely wont save money at the expense of others. People who are less thinking about spending money tends to spend when with people who are very close to them and more often when their desire to spend push the situation to spend at that moment. It is not exactly that they dont have spending culture, but are...

Being an avid fan of Balu mahendra, i would like to share what i read and viewed recently in the magazine and in tv. In one magazine interview, he told that cinema is like sex for him. Like he has to do the job fully with involvement, on being questioned why he has handling photography, direction, editing combinedly. His answer is simple as above that he want to do the above sections which are clearly interlinked each other to give the product of his own and not with other contribution. In recent interview with sasikumar in puthiya thalaimurau tv show, though he has lost track for answering the questions appropriately, considering his age, some of the points he shared is: 1. illayaraja and he has mutual admiration and inspiration for each other and hence the music was good in all his films. Even one director, who he says one of his best friend, after seeing one of his films phoned him and questioned how illayaraja gives is best for his films and cried about his good work. At the ...

The following article is taken from the New Indian Express. http://newindianexpress.com/states/tamil_nadu/Landmark-corneal-transplant-surgery/2013/11/10/article1882094.ece How much of a donor’s cornea does an eye surgeon need to give a blind person eyesight? Less than half the diameter of a human hair, thanks to a new technique pioneered by city-based surgeon Dr Amar Agarwal. “Instead of taking a whole cornea or even half a cornea, we are now taking only the innermost three layers, where the thickness is only about 25 micron, and transplanting it,” said an excited Chief of Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital. “After UK-based Dr Harminder Dua discovered the sixth layer of the cornea earlier this year, I began working on a technique that would revolutionise the way eye transplants are done,” explained Agarwal. The new technique is set for publication in medical journals and Agarwal is setting about spreading the ‘love’, by demonstrating it at ophthalmic groups the world over. “This...

Hailing from a tribal family from Parithipuram, Villupuram district, Chandran came to Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital as he was suffering from congenital squatting cyanotic spell, a common cause for Blue Baby Syndrome with breathing, vomiting, headache and giddiness. Through a series of tests like ECG, CT Scan and Cath study, Chandran was diagnosed with multiple rare complications including a double outlet right ventricle with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary cinohessis. In simple terms, the boy had both the pulmonary artery and aorta connected to the right ventricle of the heart, when they should be connected to the left ventricle. This condition, called hypertrophy, left...
