Ambimama - India

For 36 years Chennai did not want to copy the Newyork or Mumbai culture of going sky to solve the housing problem. Chennai has no water drainage facility, no proper ducts for power and communication cables, no water supply and sewerage pipes bursting all over. The USA had a Howard Roark to visualize going sky with all these in mind. But Hell’s gates will open for Chennai soon.

Already the apartment in which I live has all the problems of a total unhygienic surrounding - a lake in front my house due to rains, the seized vehicles rusting, garbage rotting, temporary construction workers putting up a tent cooking, washing, urinating and quarrelling and turning violent. All this has an impact on my health. I must shift and this skyscraper plan makes me to think shifting out of Chennai.
And the Government has announced impractical solution to traffic congestion and poor. Instead of solving, election promises are being thrown.

No I cannot and need not be intent upon giving you something sensational. All the happenings around the World and in Chennai create sensation in the minds of the reader or viewer depending on his taste and age. Even the painful news about a towering inferno of a shopping mall in Chennai is shown as sensational news in regional TV channels.
For me attending a Yoga Class is sensational, as it gives joy, peace, and good health conditions. For me riding early morning in the rain is a sensation. All the News Channels have become a bore, repeating the same news for 3 days. The quality of the News and the Presentation is a bore.
I went out to purchase pooja items for Ganesh Chaturthi. Prices have soared high. This year new varieties of Fire Crackers are coming. May be this is a sensational News.

If the urban man has the freedom in India to urinate in the public why do the women feel shy to use sanitary napkins in their private life? Traditionally the women use the old dirty clothes which are unhygeneic. And the enormous mental tension the teens undergo in schools and colleges is a curse on the Indian women. Sure Bharathiar did not see this private aspect in a women’s life. May be he too was chauvinistic.
I felt the happiest and felt the need to spread this message. A girls high school in Tamilnadu, near Chennai has installed a Vending Machine for Sanitary Napkins and it had been a success.

Silent Revolution.

There are lot of enquirers for booking of TATA Nano, HLL Pureit, Online Bus tickets and Mambalam Times Online edition.

I have given the relevant websites and a brief guidance on how to book or purchase.

Sadly The Mambalam Times has no online edition. It was my loud thinking and wish that this paper be made available online. I will approach them and offer my suggestions. There are lot of practical difficulties and personal issues involved in bringing a week-end Local Area Newspaper online. It needs more staff on the Pre-press, Post-press, editing and Technical issues related the Web Publishing, cost factor and Maintenance aspects.

Any way I will contact them and discuss if there are more responses.

Dubai has always been in the news. A city for the Arabs to be proud of, all the credit goes to (Late) Sheikh Mahmood who was a visionary and made Jebel Ali, Flower port, Gold City and a electronic shopping paradise for the World. His son is more capable and now Dubai can be proud to have the 80 floors Tower with each floor revolving!
