Frequent Power Cuts - 378

                VERY FREQUENT POWER CUTS 



I make use of a SONY PHOTO FRAME and use it as a Digital Clock in my  Bedroom . There is however  one small problem with this . Each time when there is a POWER SHUT DOWN OR A TRIPPING , the Calender goes back to 2001 and the time to 12 Noon and the device has to be reset again to the current Date and Time .

Over the last nearly 2 Months , there are have been atleast one power shut down every single day if not more . The duration could be anywhere between 15 minutes to a couple of hours . 

This business of setting the clock again after each such power cut is most annoying . In fact , many times I have just about restrained myself from throwing the gadget into the dustbin out of disgust .

Which brings me to the more pertinent and important question ,  which is  ,  How do the Industries and Manufacturing Complexes manage this  issue . Someone , somewhere up or down the line  must be held responsible for this . It hardly serves any purpose to beat your  breast and claim to be the foremost State in the country if as simple a thing as ensuring uninterrupted Power Supply Cannot be ensured at all times .

I fail to see any Idiot , Foreign or otherwise investing his hard earned money to set up a new business here . Those who have already done it must be already finding it hard to sustain their business ,  what with every Infrastructural Development Project  being opposed vehemently and in no uncertain terms .

Trillion Dollar and MOU s being signed are very catchy and newsworthy clips . I for one  am not sure of the number of Zeroes in A Trillion but alas , I am just a layman ! . 

I fondly recall an apology letter being pasted on every single door for an unscheduled power cut of exactly 90 seconds during my stay in Canada by the Power Providing Company .  I am not suggesting this to be done here . We surely have Engineers who can do a far better job than what they are doing now to ensure an uninterrupted supply to both the public and the Industry .

AYODHYA YAATRA DAY 1 - 702

Image
 AYODHYA YAATRA  DAY - ONE     Sundar Holiday Travels  As instructed  by Mr Ashok of Sunder Travels , we were dot on time at 9.00 thanks primarily due to smooth flow of traffic from Vadapalani to the Chennai  Airport .  Other Yatrees also slowly trooped in . Ashok seemed to have his way with the Indigo Airways . Group Check in saved us a lot of time . Lunch packet Distribution done we were on our way and were before time at Lucknow .  Lucknow was a lot different from what I had imagined , airport was spotlessly clean as was their baggage handling services .  Mr Ashok saw to it that we were off on a Bus to Ayodhya in a flash . It was a near Two and a Half Hour journey and we reached the Resort by 5.30 pm .  Our Chennai to Lucknow Flight  was by The  Indigo Airbus A 320 Flight 6E 515  Aircraft with a capacity of 180 Passengers.  That , we from the Sunder Travels made up for the larger part of these Seats made ...

Ayodhya Yaatraa Day -3 - 704

Image
                  Ayodhya Yatra - Day 3  The highlight of the day was to be the Holy Dip in the Triveni Sangamam .  For the uninformed Triveni Sangamam is the place where the Three Rivers Ganga Yamuna and Saraswathy converge into one . It is the place where Veni Daanam is given after a bath in the River .  The 20 Minute Boat Ride takes you to this place of convergence of these three rivers . The Boatmen help you to take a dip in the water . Old set of clothes are discarded symbolising the discarding of everything bad and the start of a new fresh life .  Ganga is slightly murky while the Yamuna is clearer , Saraswathy is Antervaahini and it converges under water .  The Dhambadhi Pooja after the Dip in the Holy Waters  was performed with all the diligence that the occasion demands . The Sastrigal performed the Ritual which is an almost second time Marriage where vows are taken to lead a life in all happiness and be...

VAIKOM VISIT- IN GODS OWN COUNTRY - 686

 VAIKOM VISIT - IN GODS OWN                     COUNTRY  Kerala has always been my favourite place of visit over the years . Its cleanliness , its greenery,  waterways , not to forget its spirituality and beautiful people in more ways than one  have always held  a special attraction for  me . We , that is me and my Better Half have visited Kerala before  and visited many of  its  Temples and Tourist Attractions.  One place missing in this list has been the Viakom  Sri Mahadeva Temple . We decided to embark  on  a visit to this place and Mami was spot on to point out that there was a direct Train from Ambasamudram to Vaikom Road by the 16792 Palaruvi Express starting from ASD at 11.57 PM and reaching Vaikom Road Station at 7.30 Am the next morning . Nothing could be better ,  We made the Reservations for both the Up  and Down Jorneys on the 11 th and 13 th Jun...
