Monorail to save Chennai traffic?

Now a day traffic jam is a big problem for Chennai people. The central government has also introduced the Flying Train in 1998 to control the traffic, but no use; many people like to travel on their own vehicles like motorbikes, cars. For the last one year the motorbike population is very high in Chennai, in one house there are 2 to 3 bikes, even in my house we have 2 bikes. And the pollution is also very high, and in traffic jams, we can’t open our car glass, because the smokes which release for the vehicles, gives us pungent smell and it is also not good for our health. The government was also thinking for a permanent solution for this problem, and it also should be environment friendly. So the Tamil Nadu chief Minister Jayalalithaa recently announced to introduce the Monorail system to control the Chennai traffic.

Formally the opposition has also shown their objection for this Monorail. First we can know some thing about monorail. Monorail is approximately work like balcony train, like trains we can’t change its track, in a track only one train can go and come. Many countries’s like Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Europe, Russia and the United States are using this Monorail system. In Los Vegas the monorail is traveling 6km, in Sydney it passing 3.6km, in Japan this Monorail is running 100km. Each and every day hundreds of thousands of passengers are carried on monorails. The monorails are very safe to travel, zero accidents translates to no system down time, less liability suits and most importantly, No Injuries and Death have registered so fare, it will not foot step from the track like trains. Most monorails are electrically powered, monorails are non-polluting. Most run on rubber tires and are very quiet. Monorails are the most aesthetically pleasing of all elevated rail systems. Their sleek design blends in with modern urban environments. Quick construction time results in less disruption to the surrounding environments, whether business or residential.

In Chennai the government has planned to operate monorail for 490km, they will be construction the path for the monorail at least 100km. first the government decided to introduce Metro rail. The Chennai is situated near sea, so we can’t dig a way for Metro rails, like which was already introduced in Delhi & Kolkatta said the Metropolitan Transport Corporation, so the government plan to introduce Monorail. We can install the Monorail in short days and the money spending is also low. For Balcony rail it will take Rs.80 to 100 crore to constructing a bridge for 1km, for Metro rail it will take at least 150 crore to construct the way. But the money for spending to Monorail is just 50crore and it will take small space for constructing the way. In starting they have planed to take 14,000 people from one place to another place, gradually they will increase to 50,000 people. Not only in Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore are also examinations to install Monorail in future.

If we also have many good plans like this, but the opposite party are showing objection flag for this monorail. They said this monorail is new for India, we don’t know how to construct a path for monorail. We are not manufacturing it and want to import it from Foreign countries and also we don’t know how to maintenance. Suppose it gets any repair, we don’t know who to adjust it and should call mechanic form foreign country. The party is asking the state government like this: the project of Monorail is not slightly introduction for our county, how can we accept this plan. In many countries the Monorail is working as a feeder Service only and can take only 8,000 people. The opposite is asking that the constructing rail path and operating is all Central Governments work, why the Sate government is entering its head. I think that the opposite is also a main leg for central government, if the state government done this monorail project and get vote in coming April assembly election, that why they are opposing it. So totally the Monorail project has comes to the Politician hand, we don’t know when this problem will solve and when we are going to escape for the Heavy traffic.

This is one of the strangest fish that scientists seen in there whole career. It's tiny, and it has these bizarre grasping fins. The mini fish has a see through body. Its head doesn't have a protective skeleton. It was discovered in threatened swampland on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Researchers say that the tea-coloured water is at least 100 times more acidic than rainwater. Fish experts Maurice Kottelat from Switzerland and Tan Heok Hui from Singapore made the discovery. Kottelat said he first saw the fish in 1996, but he thought it was a member of an already existing species.

Today my dad went to Cudalore (a district in Tamil Nadu) for camp (official work), so he wake at 6.00am and went. Today morning I backed my memories (flash back), when I was small kid, what I did when my dad went to camps. My dad will not tell us when every his office told him to go for camps(official work), if he tell us about his camp, I and my brother used to do problem that I am also coming with u to camps.

One day, my dad told to my brother and me I am going to camp for a week, so u should not trouble u r mom and be a good boys. But we dint hear his word and started crying that we are also coming with u, my dad try to convince us, but we are not get peace and he said ok I will take u with me, so we packed our dress in a bag and kept near my dad’s suitcase and we happily went to sleep. Next morning we wake and searched for our dad, but he is not in house, that all we got angry and asked our mom were is dad, she told he wake earlier at 5.00am and went to camp, if he tell to u, you will do objection for him that’s why he went. We started arguing (or contention) with my mom, and my argument turned on my brother and said because of u only I cant go with dad (my brother said he will also go with my dad to camp), and the argument turned into fight, and we beat each other and cry, mom struggle to peace us. After the fight is over we have to go school, my mom know we will have some plan to avoid from going to school. Like that we also did problem, and said, that we are not going to school with out dad, because every day our dad only drop us in School, and the school is half-km form my house and we said my leg will pain if we walk. But she is not ready to put us leave, after thinking my mom call her brother (our uncle) to take us to school in his car, so our plan was destroyed and my brother was lucky he acted like stomach pain and my mom also hoped that and put him leave. I said when he dint come I will also not go to school, but no use, my mom dint allow, because I have test in school, so my Uncle peace me and told I will buy chocolate and after u come from school I will buy Ice-cream and sent me to school.

After returning form school, my uncle toke me to a Ice-cream shop and we eat Ice-cream and brought Ice-cream to my brother, when I come to house, my brother is not there, he was playing with his friend in next street, so I told my mom he(brother) said he have stomach pain, but he is playing ok I will not give this ice-cream, and I eat it, suddenly he come to house, he saw me eating Ice-cream and he started crying. After leaving the school, I will go to tuition, but I told my mom, I will not go to tuition, because he (my brother) put leave for school no, so I will put leave for tuition. Next the night came, every day I used to sleep with my dad, and my brother will sleep with mom, so I asked my mom to sleep with me, my brother asked to sleep with him, I cry and said if u dint sleep with me I will go out, and I went out and stand near the gate. She peace me and take me inside, she told I will keep sleep my brother and come, but I dint accept, then the fight started between me and my brother, mom and grandma shout not to fight, but we dint hear there word and in that situation my brother tarred my book and I also tarred his book, soon my mom come and give us a big beat and control our fight, and finally my mom sleep in-between us, ti took 12.am for us to sleep. And next day when my dad call, mom said about our fight and we talk to dad and he told not give trouble for mom, we said us. But again we did the same problem, and it continued till our dad return form camp. Like this we did problem whenever my dad go to camps, but now a days we are not doing this.

Love Message

I read a poem in a News paper yesterday, with the model of that poem I have used some of my own word & lines in between and writen here.

Love is beautiful, love is sweet, love is wonder.
When I look at you, my heart was not with me.
I can’t describe how I feel, When our lips meet.
If my kiss was a raindrop I will send u clouds.
If my hug was a second I will send u hours.
If my smile was honey I will send u flowers
If love was a person I will send u me!
When ever I close my eyes I romance with u in my dream.
I gave u my heart the day we first met
I shall love u enternally till death do us apart.
Your love helped me to rediscover my self.
If u look into my eyes, you could see the happinest, because u r with me.
If you ask my rose plant, it will tell, how much I miss u.
If I could live in this world one more time, I like to have u by my side always, until the end of my days.

Happy Valentines Day
