Can any one tell me what has gone wrong in this picture?

no more foot board travel in chennai

With the recent news from MTC(Metropolitan Transport Corporation) on the introduction of Luxury buses in Chennai aka Madras, foot board traveling comes to an end. Gone are the days when we take pride in getting in & out of the bus at our will. If you have gone to college or school, of course not for studying, in the PTC bus you would appreciate this. For some 8 years I had used this mode of transport, so much of joy you would derive. Pneumatic doors operated by the driver, oh God can’t imagine that the passengers are under the mercy of the driver. Let me see how many days this mechanism would work. Many a times during my onsite trip I used to share this story with friends of mine how convenient for us we use the public transport. The best thing is you life is in u r hands, any time u feel like getting out of bus u can always do that, not any more I think so.

The funniest/adventurous part of PTC bus travel are:

# to move from rear to front – not inside the bus, using the windows, can you?
# Try getting out of the bus while the drive tries to negotiate a left turn while slanting the bus to 20 to 30 degrees, so that the ground clearance is so high that u can’t think of getting of the bus in the turn
# Accelerate at breakneck speed during the turning so that u can’t get off the bus
# deriving lot of pleasure as being an icon, by getting in last at every stop by chasing the bus and then hanging in there
# hanging in the bus with minimum possible clutch
# identify the bus by not looking at the name board rather use the coding convention that is written on the side of the bus ...and the list goes on.

Can others think of any thing else which can be added. I’m sure there is a lot more.

How greedy can people get?

Couldn’t control laughter when I heard some one saying this “what is mine is mine and ur's is also mine”

Kids are kids

Anumitha
The 10 year old daughter's class is being taught to use the dictionary.
And the daughter with a friend, after some self education, is going around school, asking eighth standard seniors if they were 'virgins'.
A teacher complained that the kids called her a 'whore' too.
After complaints were made and heard out the two girls were rusticated for a day and sent home with the mothers.
The 10 year old daughter was last heard telling her friend, "if we learn bigger and dirtier words, we'll get a 2 day holiday, you know."

Stress Relieving

I went to the national library here in Singapore with my school friend - Thiru, whom I meet him after close to 8 years and go to an exhibition which is held there.
In one corner of the library there are close to 5 racks of book which were all bound in white ..just white. There were some tables and chairs were no one sat, So got little curious and went to read the catalog which was saying this collection is for stress relieving and some stuff like that. Got very curious how come so a huge collection can convey the same message took one book and opened – surprised all pages white with no imprint – got the message … was little jealous – kept the first book in its place and then open another one ..same blank pages – so much for stress relieving it cause more stress on me.

How is it, want to swim when it’s raining?

an evening @ dusk

Yes we need to mend time

Visit to Nagarjuna Sagar

A visit to Hyderabad and then to Nagarjunasagar was a memorable. A major change in life and then a lot of things.

A trip to Nagarjunasagar can be done in a day if you travel from Hyderabad. This place is of immense archaeological significance & excavations. This dam was completed in 1966 and is 1 km long. This has 26 gates and this is the third man made lake in the world. Our visit to this place was primarily to capture the sight of water flowing from all the 26 crest gates.

Ethipothala is a mountain stream with 3 water falls. There is a light show in the night which I was told worth watching. A treck to this place and then a visit to the fall is worth the trip.
