RANDOM THOUGHTS

 A Real Contrast - The National Capital  22691 Rajdhani Express which started from Bangalore 8 hours beyond the scheduled departure hour of 8.00 PM to the almost Ghostly Hour of 4.00 AM made up for 3 hours of the lost time and we were at Delhi Nizamuddin Station at 11.00 AM .  To be Honest , considering that it is one of the Important Rail Station of the National Capital , the general Cleanliness of the place was nothing to write home about . Further , everyone around , from the Porter to the Cab Driver try to fleece you to the Maximum . My knowing Hindi well ,  helped me  to a certain extent .  We were on our way to The South India Hotel at Karol Bagh . The sights on the way  was really breathtaking , Rashtrapathy Bhavan , Ashoka Road , GK Vasan Residence were all neat and clean as were all the other Government Establishments .  Hotel South India on Padam Singh Marg in Karol Bagh , though in a crowded Market Place full of Mobile Accessories and Textile Shops is pretty decent and comfo

NATURE   in its Numerous Colours The place  might surprise you , it is the Kal Choondu Colony near Agasthiarpatty.   The Nature is at it's best. The various hues of the Greenery all around is amazing .

             T20 WORLD CUP - 2024 World Cup , be it the  One Day Internationals or the shorter but even more Popular T20 World Cup have a huge following the World Over and Cricket being almost a Religion in our Country , the followers of the game touch astronomical figures.  As for myself , I have been a keen follower of the game having played the game at School , College and even at my workplace , representing them at the Unit Level Matches . For some preordained reason , India have gone on to win the Cup whenever I have followed the Final Game  away from my own home . 1983 World Cup On this particular day I was in  second shift which gets over  at 11. 00 pm . Self and V Srinivasan my colleague and also a keen Cricket enthusiast , quickly finished the shift end work and rushed out to catch the Radio Commentary by The  BBC . In Those days TV was still in its initial stages of installation and that too only in a few pockets of the National Capital  and the Radio or Transistor Set was th

    50 Years On , July 4th Will                          Always Be Special                                        Certain Dates remain etched in memory for very specific reasons and July the 4th is one such Date . Americans Celebrate their Independence Day on this day . My close relatives from both my parents  side have made it their home there . Best wishes to all of them . My Daughter Anoobala and Kamesh got married on this day in the year 2004  at the AVRMV KALYANA MANDAPAM , AMBASAMUDRAM . It was and it still is by far one of the most well Attended , Talked About , Well Organized and Enjoyed Weddings in and around this  place . Many who attended the Wedding still recall the lovely and happy times they had during the function. I leave it to you to judge as to who Lost or Gained His or Her Independence on this day post the Wedding !! American Independence not withstanding .

       INCREASING TAP WATER PRESSURE  My Home at Agasthiarpatty which had its House Warming Ceremony in 1992 had to do with the Bore Water for all these 32 Years .  Being a resident of the Madura Coats Mill Colony till 2002 , I had not paid much attention to the Water Line that was subsequently provided by the Sivanthopuram Panchayat Union . My efforts to get the Water Connection from 2002 when I occupied the place after leaving the Mill Colony till 2023 have not been much of a success and to put it more bluntly , a downright failure .  I finally succeeded in getting a Connection under “PRADHAN MANTRI JAL JEEVAN MISSION “                                 JJM  in early 2023 just before my Departure for Canada . Though Labelled as a Free Central Government Scheme , I had to with much reluctance, grease hands to get this done .  During Normal Times the supply came in abundance and I could fill the over head tank without the use of any Motor , With the advent of the summer months , the flow
