While many part
of the country experience (enjoys) monsoon, the Chennai remain hot and humid
throughout. Though we passed the hotter summer days in May, the last two weeks
have been terrific hot and the heat waves continue to last till nights keeps away
the thought of coming out of home. Not only the earth, atmosphere, throat and
tongues but also my mind dries up expose to high temperature (38 degree) and I also couldn't
think or interested to do anything. But a sudden rain this evening has
brought a brief relief and cheer to life.
Although it
continues to rain/drizzle, the environment couldn’t achieve quite refreshing
and the warmth continues to survive among the ambiance esp. within our home. It
was the same time last year, on June 28; a heavy thunderstorm struck the city
where an 11 storey building, which was under construction, went rubble killing
61 people in Moulivakam, near Porur. A site where two 11 storeys were built,
with one fell down and another, which was suppose to demolish by authorities since
experts believe it’s unfit to become a residential complex and even before it was
done a year has completed.
Here is a
picture I shot on ECR, a road parallel to IT corridor, multi-stories are new to
this part of landscape that stretches close to seashore. I find about 4 to 5
projects coming up on this road, which is emerging as a Nation Highways (NH) from
the scenic beach road because of the road widening. Hope there isn’t a repetition
of Moulivakam incident anywhere.

i hate the severe heat that is killing people in parts of the world. the crumbling buildings are terrible!
The govt. officials are easy to bribe and get approval for such buildings near the beach. Even after the horrible incident they are not worried about the danger of building multi stories where the ground/soil might not be fit for carrying such huge buildings. People should not buy. Will people do that?
Hope this time they've taken care of all the possible loopholes.
I hope the new ones are planned properly and all safety measures are in place. The govt. has to be more careful now, after that incident. And yes, the rains are welcome :)

Oh my goodness! The crumbling building!!
In an attempt to save themselves from sky rocketing cost the builders have compromised on the quality.
Corruption and mediocrity killing one more time...it sucks.
Peace :)
There are too many tall buildings all over the world today and yet some try to compete by building tallest ones. There is no end to it.
Monsoon has just arrived in eastern U.P...it's refreshing! :)
Hope the temperature goes down soon and inspire you to write more and click more.
Hope it cools off soon!
Such incidents really makes me sad... And makes me wish that people think of people first and money later!
