------------------------------------------------------------------




It starts on Thursday evening; chennai receives continues rain for 3 days. It affects much people mostly the people who are staying in low areas faces flooded. In my place, the surroundings are full of water even if we want to buy some thing we have to walk on the feet long water. It looks like island, that our only street and flat was mound, we escape from water, but our opposite empty flat have 3 feet water. In the weeklong rain much insect have arrived, and every one come across our compound and enter inside the Flat. After 6 in evening we close our Door and Windows to avoid them entering inside the house. We can see many snails, leeches, millipedes on the compounds and some times caterpillars. As soon the sky darks all the frogs on the water started to freight like ambulance, and hope to see some cranes soon.

Every year the diwali brings a bore thing of sharing the Diwali sweets with relatives after worshiping the “Nombu”. Some of our relatives brought us diwali sweets and snacks, and now it’s our turn. So mom and aunty prepared Athirasam, Murukku (twine) and Ottaiadai on Friday. I also helped mom by kneading the flour and shaping it round, so she drop it in the oil and fry. In the reason of kneading the sweet flour, I drop some flour inside the mouth, it was very tasty. I am the first person to taste it in bake, after some times if will taste as much. On Sunday dad and mom got ready to visit some of our relatives house to distribute the Diwali sweets. As I was expect to know about the situation of the city in the rain, so I was with them. Actually I was not interested to visit relatives house, as they used to urge to come to their house, I just sit in car and listen to music.

The Adyar River was full flow of water, and in a place (Ashok Nagar) there was in a little bit gape to flow above the bridge. On the way return I like to go on the Mount road, its been a while I went on that road, always this road will be over traffic, but on Sunday the road was very quite and clean with little vehicles and much political flags on the side of the roads. We reached marina beach at 4.30 and the climate was wonderful, I saw new river found on the beach in the rain. Every year I visit Marina on rainy days to see the rainwater staying on the shore and sand. We had a speed drive on the rainwater; I enjoy going on the water by force. I feel its crazy act; but it was cool that every one turns towards us to see our play in water. Two years back when the whole sand was wet and we droved on the sand till sea, it was my long time wish to ride on the sand of the beach like how it comes in films. Some are bathing on the rainwater and playing.

Marina


These kids are making fun on the shore with their parents. This place is where the ganesh statues were dissolve in the sea, so it’s easy for us to go near the seawater.

Carelessness

Today every one was in fear of rain and floods in State, some thinking of how to reach the office. The schools, collages in the state were holiday due to precaution. My net was also problem in the rain for stopping me form blogging. As the Chennai was safe from the cyclone (will face heavy rain, warns govt.) on the Bay of Bengal, here a child was caught by some madness. If a tooth of the dog touches our skin, how do we fear and visit doctor immediately and take medicine, some year’s back we used to inject much injection to avoid the infection of dog bite. But can we imagine 20 dogs bite us in 100 places in our body. Its very cruel know? Its what happen to a 6 year-old.

The 2nd STD student Nagarajan, who belongs to the coolest village in Nilagiri distric of Tamil Nadu, was playing ball with his friends on Saturday near his school with out knowing that the dog are going to play with his body. When he was chasing the run over ball, the dog, which was sleeping near started to chase that boy; by seeing a dog chasing the child, many dogs gather and started to chase him and make him fall and start to bite. In the madness, the dogs tasted his flesh by rolling him, the child was not even having strength to shout, and eventhough he shouted in his tiny voice. Before the people notice his voice and dogs bark, the dogs have ripe his body. The people, who arrived, have drive away the dog groups by throwing stones. This incident has gradually affected those minds and makes them angry.

The Dogs pieces the child with out leaving a single bit of his uniform. The people carried the child to the Hospital and now he was in ICU with out self-thought (more here). This incident shock the whole state and made us to think of our security. This bring out how the local administration works, what are they doing when the madness dog increased in the area? Just now only the local elections have finished. Every one has promise of dustless streets, good road, proper water supply, light for every street and many developments. Who needs these, when there was no secure for our precious life. Some time back there was a Dog vehicle, where the people in local govt office will come and catch the madness dog and treat them. But nowadays no one cares about dogs roaming on the street. This news was very shocking and can’t even imagine us in that child place and feel his pain. Special in this monsoon season the dog bite patients should be treated carefully; it will be critical if they got any side affect. The government should shift that child to a big hospital, and take care of his treatment, because it’s all of the careless of local govt.

So cool….

Finally the monsoon has intense in chennai, the climate was very chill and wonderful. It was a new experience to enjoy the rain from this new place, I can directly see the raindrops touching the earth, where else before I used to sit inside the room and only hear the rain sound. And there was also another chill news for chennai. Like how the previous government head by AIADMK leader Jayalalithaan introduced the Toyota Qualis for Chennai Police for patrol operations. The high speed vehicles for Chennai police continues by the Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi by launching 100 modern and comfort Hyundai Accent Cars for city police. The Hyundai Motor India presented the Cars for Chennai City Police Force.

The Cars were fitted with VHF sets, revolving lights, loudspeakers, fire extinguishers and first aid kits. Those cars are soon expected to get digital cameras to catch traffic violations and crime scenes on video. These vehicles will be at the disposal of officials from the ranks of a sub-inspector, inspector and assistant commissioner of that station. It will be allotted to the traffic and law & order wings of the city police and will have necessary high-tech gadgets on the lines of the ones in developed countries.
The HMIL Managing Director handed over the Key’s to Chief Minister M Karunanidhi in the launching function. The people who are going to break the rules in future should be ready to face those Super cars, so now onwards think twice before you decide to break the speed limit and against the rules. The moment the control room receives calls, the car nearest to the area, will be dispatched to tackle the problem by less than three minutes. Chennai was the first city in India to have comfort passenger cars for Police Patrol like Foreign Countries.

Diwali went nice

My favorite festival of Lights Diwali was not bad, I enjoy as much. I have been to my old house a day before Diwali, had exchanged diwali wishes with my uncle’s workshop friends and call my cousin for Diwali. Next we went to the Besant nagar Beach to watch sky amuse of Firecrackers, but rarely saw some. On Saturday wake up not early only after 7.30 and get ready by 8.30 to watch special programs on TV. I was excite to watch the new songs, which I hear in recent days. The Trisha’s interview with models was cool. Think already most of the young people have cut a line in there whiskers like Simbu in the Vallavan, let we can see the increase of this style in young soon like my brother!
It was continue till Vijay’s interview with children, by eating specials food and my favorite Gulabjamun with by cousin. We left out by 6.30pm to burst crackers. There were non-to join with us to burst crackers, every one enjoys on their own, some when to their terrace and some left to their homeland. So cousin, dad &mom where with me, we left Walas, Outs and little sound crackers. Cousin was disappointed there were no explosions to make the place much paper. There were been continue colorful sky fireworks coming form the near multistoried buildings and bungalows. I don’t like to sit inside the house and watch TV when the city was lighting by the crackers, so went to Beach at 9.pm and watching the sky till 10 the govt’s time for bursting crackers. The beach was less crowd think people who cant buy the costly sky fireworks, where their to enjoy it.

Like how I feel happy on diwali, on Sunday I feel alone and very bored not even interest to see Computer or TV. I won’t like to be alone on Sundays, if there was bore film I visit the chat on net, but this Sunday non-was on line and the film was also bore. So again asked dad to take me out, where to go? the same beach, but Sunday the beach was much crowded. I had a doubt is that a beach or an exhibition because many people where coming in mini bus and autos, there were many small small food shops has grown on the shore. Been there for some time and left home and slept early.


HAPPY RAMZAN

Sweet Deepavali

Deepavali is near; we can hear the bomb sounds in every corner in the evenings and night. Every shopping malls are fully occupied by peoples wave, the shoppers went to the high of discounts, the television are full of cloths and domestic thing AD’s. People started greeting there loved ones, even we also started to greet each other’s. Cinema fans are advancing booking to their favorite movies; the television channels are in front to give us different programs. As the festival was in weekends there must be much plans how to celebrate the diwali. I too have decided to visit the beach a night before the diwali to watch the firework on the sky. This is the first time I am going to celebrate diwali in a flat, let me see if some neighbor people will also join with us!

I like to recall my childhood memories of diwali, think I was in UKG or in 1st Std when I realize the diwali. I used to sit in front of the cycle and dad pedal me with him to the nearest cracker shop; it’s not a shop, a palm leaf tent where an old woman used to sale Clay pots, when ever I leave from school I used go inside the tent and come out on the other side to reach our street easily, she will not scold me, because mom will buy pot form her. Dad buys me only small crackers like flowerpot, changu charka, wire sparkles and needle crackers. I just carry the small cover happily to the home and used to arrange the crackers in our cupboard near my dress, mom used to warn me not to keep near the cloths, but who hear her, At least 5 to 6 times I will arrange the crackers every day. Those days I don’t have any friend’s or brothers (my bro was 1 year old that time), so no one to fight with me to pick the crackers from me.

In the morning dad used to nip the wick of the cracker and one by one I will place it in a platform and fire it and go inside the house and close my ears. By closing my ears with the hand of cracker’s medicine, my ears will be turned into black. In evening mom lit a lamp out side near the front door, I used to burn the wire sparkles one by one and rotate to see the design. I really fear to fire the flowerpots and chackra, I just enjoy watching form a distance, when dad fire. I allot some cracker from that and burst on the Karthikai Thipam. This year I have planed to avoid over sound crackers, and buy colorful fireworks, which bring much lighter to the night. My hear full Diwali wishes to every one. (will be update after diwali....)
