Attention: Computer Users

Are you feeling irritation and tears from the eyes? This might be from the strain on your eyes after the continuous staring at your computer. Your eyes get dried up due to the radiation and fixed gaze at the monitor. This condition of eyes is called Computer vision syndrome. 

Ophthalmologists recommend to avoid seeing the monitor continuously, take a break of 30 seconds and after that look at some distant objects or take a short walk. 

Stagger your computer sessions to get more relief from the strain of seeing the computer. Blinking without keeping the eyes fixed on the computer screen is advisable to avoid the syndrome.

Humanitarian act

Let's appreciate the good work of Staff of an ambulance. See the paper clipping of TOI

Cost of Smoking

Smokers pay to kill their selves at a heavy price. See the paper clipping.

Whose Marriage it is...

Banner culture is at its peak in Chennai. For anything and everything, banners and posters put up. However, people getting married show their pet cine stars in big size in their banners. On many occasions, people get doubt as who is getting wedlocks

Towing of Vehicles...

Often we find the Department tows away the vehicles temporarily and safely parked on the roadside. However, the vehicles stationed for months together on the road and in the interior parts of the city are left untouched by the Traffic police. These vehicles not only encroach the limited space on the road but create traffic jam.  It seems there is No proper system in vogue in this regard and supervision by the Chiefs is lacking

Smart city...OK but

The initiative for making smart cities is welcome by all. However, unless the basic mentality of the people changes, any measure towards cleanliness, convenience and comfort will go in vain.

Spitting, urinating, smoking  in the public areas are very common in Chennai.

Throwing the garbage in the buses, trains and other public places has become a habit of the other-wise civilised citizens.

Parking the vehicles without minding the inconvenience to others has become the order of the day.

Chennaities are clever in copying the western habits like cell phone, smoking, drinking, etc BUT never copy the good manners and discipline of foreigners .

Why the chennai people are adamant not to have good things in their lives And remain selfish without much civic sense!

How To Manage The heat of Summer

Torrid climate is a regular thing in summer. To stay fit and healthy follow these tips.

- avoid going out between 10 am and 5pm

- need be, take an umbrella and a bottle of water to hydrate your body.
- wear sun glass to keep the eyes cool.

- consume plenty of water and fresh juices

- do not take kids with you unless necessary
- take rest under the shade while going out.

- do not drink chilled water or skirt drinks soon after a trip under the hot sun.

- freshen your face and body with water splashes.

Store the rain water of monsoon

Chennai experienced record rains in 2015, but yet facing water shortage now in May. 

The government that implemented the wonderful Rain harvesting system

For each building, can definitely draw projects for storing the excess water wasted thro run off from the rivers.

Linking of the State rivers and building the Storage structures such as achieve dams, medium sized dams with interconnecting canals and channels will definitely help in avoiding the floods and augmenting the water storage.

The above would make the entire Tamilnadu prosper paving the golden era in the history.

Bus shelter not provided

MTC has not erected the required Passengers shelters in many of the bus stops that were relocated due to the new bridges put up by HIghways Dept.. 

This is the Tirumangalam stop near Yesyes Marriage hall of Anna Nagar extn. 

The Traffic Police board shows the new stop as near Pioneer colony, but MTC administration has not bothered to provide the shelter.

As a result, the commuters are forced to wait on the road under the hot sun.

Why this apathy by the MTC Management ?

Fares gone up. But space constraint

See... How passengers travel in MTC bus of Chennai.Too small seats even for normal size people. Thanks to the good design and the innovative management!

The Chairman and Other top officials enjoy AC rides at the cost of taxes we pay, they  like any other government department ignore the place where they work...

When will these people behave responsibly to inspect the buses and workshops to improve the system?

Why the same roads and pavements are repaired repeatedly ?

Though  some roads( Kilpauk Garden road for example) and platforms  are in good shape, the Corporation relays them repeatedly for reasons best known to them. Many other roads are not even repaired( forget their relaying) for years together. 

Why this bias for one sector  by neglecting another area.

It seems there is no involvement and supervision of the elected councillors or the higher authority of the concerned department in the City Corporation which pats itself by calling as GREATER CHENNAI CORPORATION!!!

Will this inefficiency of Corporation change after the ensuing Assembly elections? 

Garbage bins ... Shame of the city

It's a common sight in Chennai that the Garbage bins encroach the road space as they are positioned precariously in the middle of any road.  Not only the traffic is affected but the spilled over garbage make the entire road very shabby and unpleasant.

Why this pathetic situation?

Is it due to the poor administration and supervision by the concerned dept of a chennai corporation or the indifferent attitude of the field staff?

Smart conductor of City bus

Some conductors of Chennai City buses are smart in their own ways. Today, I boarded a new bus at Tirumangalam, West chennai to reach anothe place of the city. The bus was issuing the tickets just by sitting in his seat and asking the people to come and collect the tickets. At first, I thought he might be having illness unable to move, so struck in the seat. During the entire 35 minutes I traveled, he never got up to dispense the tickets.

What a pity, nobody complains and questions this smart conductor!

Amma everywhere.

Amma means ' Mother' in Tamil. In the world, nobody is by self. Humans, Animals, Birds, and all other life forms originate from mother only.  It's the mother that nurtures her young ones with love and care. In Tamilnadu, Amma has become a common word after the government launched many products and services in the brand name ' Amma' to help the poor and needy.
