Long time

Its been a long time since i posted something here. As i mentioned in one of the earlier posts they have banned the access to blogs in my working place so i dont get much time.

Traffic problem within chennai has only worsened with the statistics proving number of fatal accidents in chennai is the highest among the cities in India. Kudo's to the reckless driving of chennaites.

Last saturday watched Santosh subramaniam. A very clan entertainer. Jeyam Ravi is ery good. Its refreshing to see a movie without any heroism. Its a feel good movie. The songs and dances are awesome.

IPL is the talk of the town nowadays. I once used to be a follower of cricket now am struggling to get the same interest i used to have.

Dasavatharam songs and trailers has been released. The still which shows Kamal under water is awesome. Does Kamal have a winner in Dasa? We have to wait and see.

Given below is a picture which shows a campfire. I love such campfires where people dont barge into your privacy but let the conversation take its own course.

Water

In restroom I notice people who wash their hands, face turn water to its fullest. only 10% of the water that comes out of that tap is actually used.

The same job can be achieved by turning the tap only to the required amount. This way lot of water can be saved.

This happens not only here but wherever things are given for free. In long distance trains, in restuarants.

Assume if its your house and your only source of water is provided by corporation at specified time. Will you do the same? Or take the case of water we buy in cans, will we waste it as we waste the free water?

Whether its driking water or water used for other purpose, it will be good to see people use it judicially.

Now why do it write this post? Am i expecting people to change after reading this post? a BIG no. why? You can only wake up a sleeping person.

K K

I noted yesterday that the road connecting OMR and ECR at sholinganallur junction has been named கலைஞர் கருணாநிதி சாலை. I feel Kalaignar is on a roll to put his name wherever possible he doesnt want to leave a single stone unturned. Already there are 1000's of streets in his name and he doesnt want the IT corridor to go without his name.

Unnecassarily they named OMR as Rajiv Gandhi Road. I dont know how they show their wishes so blatantly. Like it happened during the biblical days someone should come and remove these peoples name from every record avaialble so that the future generation will never remember them as they wanted to be remembered.

People remembering you for something which you did is different from forcing people to use your name in day today life is hopelessly wrong.

Hogenekal

Again after few months Cauvery issue is back in the form of Hogenekal. We have read in some forward posts that next war will be in the name of water and it is happening. On the sidelines Rajini was pulled into this controversy. Last time when cauvery issue erupted Rajini's voice was the lone sane voice. Now this time the tamil filmdom followed Rajini's last time methodology of fasting. The whole thing then tunred to check if Rajini was for Tamil's side or Kanadigas side. They also said that Rajini has to support Tamilnadu as he is living here. If we apply the same logic everywhere all Indians in US should support US, all tamilians in Karnataka should support Karnataka. Now if that happens people will say they are not patriotic but they expected Rajini to do the same.

So did Rajini escape unscathed this time? Looks like the answer is yes. I listened to his speech and there was not a single line of acting. Whatever a common man feels he has echoed the same sentiments. He neither talked for Tamilnadu nor Karnataka. All he did was to put a sensible request. He asked our politicions to use their brain to solve this issue and also not make is an issue for the sake of elections. He asked everyone to be right.

Whatever we feel when we read news items in The Hindu Rajini has echoed the same sentiments through his speech.

But one thing is sure no one is going to change just because Rajini told. Whether it's Rajini or another X no one is ready to change. Rajini knows that and we know that. So what was the purpose of this fasting? It was just used as a tool by some people to gain some mileage out of this issue and tarnish Rajinis image. They wanted to strike two mangoes with one stone. But they didnt succeed in their attempt. Neither did they get any mileage nor they were able to tarnish Rajini's image.

Here is the link to Rajini's speech. Never have I seen him so angry. Good speech.

A Simple Plan and Just Mercy
