Chennai Central Railway Station is celebrating its 100th year today. Central Railway station is oldest and tradition of India. It was constructed in British period. This railway station dint change form its great heritage nature and now also it was an unhide monument in all of our minds. No one-can denial, that in Films this Railway station tower is the only identity for us that this scene was taken in Chennai.

The tourist who comes form long distance to chennai, if they travel in Train or not, they will never forget to see this Railway Station. Some will take photos, so that whey can enjoy every day by seeing its beauty. The railway station, which got these Best things, is entering its 100th designed year today. Central Railway station was started in 1873, April 7. That time, the place like Hall, which is between the Booking office and 6th platform was act as Railway station. That place was also act as Booking office and lodging for passengers. Now also that place was called as Hall.

In Railway station the tentative place like 3,4,5, and 6 platforms self was there in that time. Very low trains were went and come. First time the train was started in double way between Chennai and Arakonam (a town near chennai). But after days go, the passenger’s visit was increased. Next to this stage, the railway was in a situation to extend the Railway station. For that in 1905 on April 4, the newly designed Railway station was opened. The British Engineer Chisholm its self designed the Railway station, for this he got 5,000 rupees award.

After paying the designed, railway station got a new beauty. The title appearance and its color was enticement every body. After that the number of platforms and number of Trains have been increased. Now there are 13 platforms in Central Railway station. Express and mails including 72 trains are operating every day. In 1981 the substitute Electric Railway station was open, that time only one platform was there. Everyday 220 substitute electric trains are operating. Including this two railway station everyday at least 2 lakh passengers are coming and going. The Height of Railway station’s central over roof’s tower was 136 feet.

Vaiko, DMK, & SUN TV.


When it comes to protecting Tamil culture the Pattali Makkal Kachi (PMK) and the DalitPanthers of India (DPI) have been brothers in arms. But now so in the assembly elections, where the PMK let Democratic Progressive alliance while the DPI has joined hands with the AIADMK in the Democratic People Front.

That is the way political alliance have been in Tamil Nadu, which goes to the pools on May 8. When it come to MDMK, really it is not a surprise that Vaiko left the DMK-let DPA in Seat sharing, it is a normal problem in election time, but it surprise that he joined with AIADMK, the opposite party of DPA. In last assembly election Vaiko asked 25 seats to contest in assembly elections, but DMK gave only 22, so he contest on his own and dint win in a single place. So he realized that if we contest alone, we would not win, so he alliance with ADMK.

The ADMK government heads my Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has sent him jail for two years under the prevention of Terrorism Act for his talk on supporting the LTTE. After coming out of Jail Vaiko undertake a padayartra (walking) throughout Tamil Nadu for protect the Jayalalithaa’s anarchy rule. I used to watch his padyatra in Vijay TV every Sunday, I like the way he showed his love on the people who every welcome him to there village. And his strength walk encouraged me to watch his show. By this padayartra against Jayalalithaa, he won all his seats in the 2004 Lok Sabha Election. I wonder where his heroism has gone now?

It was very funny to read his Interview in the WEEK Magazine, where he told:

“In the last ten months, there has been a mood in support of Jayalalithaa government among the people. This government withdrew several measures it took before the parliamentary elections and has earned the confidence of the minority communities in the past one year. This government has done good things like farmer’s protection scheme, the free cycle scheme, noon-meal scheme. The way Jayalalithaa handled drinking water problem in chennai and relief to tsunami and flood-affected people and killing Veerappan, arresting Jayendra Saraswarth has increased her popular among people.”

Until march 4 (when he join ADMK), he was protest against Jayalalithaa government for not doing anything for people and fail to control the situation on tsunami and flood. Now all come Inverse.

Will Continue.....

Sick Computer


I think my computer dint like my new house, that why it is very sick after came to New house. It got a virus fever in January and hanged my computer. My service anna (I used to call him anna (brother)) came and releases it and reloads the system, after a week it again hanged and even the service brother can’t find the problem. He said that my system is not taking WindowsXP, so changed it to Win98. After that my computer lost its facilities to read Tamil words in blogs, for the last 2 months I cant read some Tamil blogs. Last week I decided to change the Win98 to WinXp, after calling my service brother for at least 4 to 5 times, final he came on Friday 4.00pm. In between some keys in my keyboard have dead, so he brought new keyboard and UPS. As my Request he decided to install WinXP, we have tried at least 6 times in different way to install XP, no use. He said that if we try after cleaning the Hard disk, we could install, I asked him, are u hope it will come if we clear the hard disk, he said sure. I think very deep, because I have collected, lots of information’s and have I written many articles to post in blog and saved it, in this situation he asked me if u want to WinXP u will loss your files, if u want u r files will install Win98, I said ok, u can clear my hard disk. Why I said ok, because now a days many software’s asking WinXP or Win 2000, not Win98. So he install WinXp, it install very fast, in the end it was shutdown, and closed. His hope was fail, and I lost my save files. Again he installed Win98, I am not lucky. I like to install XP, to read Tamil blogs. I don’t what to do. The yahoo messenger is also not installing, so I also can’t chat with blog and yahoo friends, I was very disappointed. Ok leave it, what is going to happen if I write this blog or if u read this blog, lost is lost (katham katham mudinthathu mudinthathu thaan, like BaBa style). Thanks for reading my Computer medical file. I have also installed Tamil Front, now I can read Tamil words in Blogs.

Tamil Nadu Election Commission’s activities

Different different actors are coming and acting marvelously and talking dialogue in a style. Big crowd is surprisingly watching them in half-conscious. But the Drama Director, who stands on the side of the stage, will watch only the actor’s performance.

In the same way, in Tamil Nadu the Election is going like Democratic festival. Political parties are running here and there, giving promise, they are handling many ideas to cover the Voters. Like Drama Director, the Election Commission is in charge to watch them. We can feel the conclusion of Election Commission’s enthusiasm on forcing the character rules in Tamil Nadu in the recent by-election held last year; we can feel the same conclusion now. The Election Commission has found above 3 lakh duplicate Voters and disposes them all. The Election Commission warned that eight thousand people have been received arrest warrant and got absconding. Some Illegal Propaganda (pracharam) Banners and Parties advertisement boards have been removed and controlled by heavy rules.

After involving in Reviews by opposite parties, for supporting the Current government, the Election Commission has taken action on Chennai Police Commissioner for giving a single interview and enquire is going on. Voter ID card service has been initiated quickly. By the actions of Election Commissions, putting false vote will be mostly avoided. So voters can go to polling booth to poll their vote with secure feel. Election Commission is a healthy Government Machine. It’s good for our Democratic if we allow this Machine to work properly.
