The Road I struggle

The road through which I travel daily to my office is at its worst now.

 
I am commuting through this road for the past six months. The road is bad since then. But the recent rains made the road very worse to travel.

One cannot even walk safely. Vehicles are struggling for they can get break down on this road if not driven properly. And I see vehicles get break down on this road blocking the way.

I have made a report to some daily newspapers hoping it would get the attention of the corresponding authorities.

22-Nov-2010: 
The issue got the attention via Dinamani daily newspaper issued on 22-Nov-2010. The first photo of this blog is published in the newspaper.

AM and PM

"What AM and PM stands for?" asked one of my colleague at my workplace.

• AM stands for 'Ante Meridiem'
• PM stands for 'Post Meridiem'

The words 'Ante', 'Post' and 'Meridiem' are latin. And the meaning for the those are as follows:

• 'Ante' in latin means 'before' in english.
• 'Post' in latin means 'after' in english.
• 'Meridiem' in latin means 'noon' in english.

So 'Ante Meridiem' in latin means 'before noon' in english and 'Post Meridiem' in latin means 'after noon' in english.

New Addition - Ford Figo

Today we brought home our new ford figo. White color, looking very beautiful. And we are happy on possessing it.

We were at the showroom by 9:30 Hrs IST today to take the car. After all the formalities, we got the car by 10:25 Hrs IST. Its a diesel car. Felt good on the power and the looks of the car (as I had experienced only a Hyundai Santro car for the past three years). To our family, this is the second one. The elder one is a Hyundai Santro Xing XL.

I am happy over the features of the Ford Figo as our Santro didn't have those features. Yes, this beauty is the high end model of its variant. Experiencing them for the first time thrills me.

This time I am very happy than the time we took our Santro. This is because when we took Santro, we arranged for a driver for taking the car to home. None of us (myself, my younger brother and my father) know driving. This time it is not the same. I myself taking the car from the showroom.

Since today is a working day I had to go straight office from the showroom. Hence I am worried about the rituals (taking car to some temple/doing some poojas) that would be done for a new car. But these ford guys took care of that. They themselves did a pooja for the car before it was delivered to me.

Took the car on road. And it seemed everyone (who saw the car on its way) wishing me - "Happy Driving!".

Thala Deepavali

This deepavali was a special one for us (myself and my wife) as this was our thala deepavali. We went to my native by 03rd of November. And by 4th of November we reached my wife's native.

On deepavali day, I did oil bath, attended the pooja, weared new dress and ofcourse blasted crackers! Even though the deepavali releases were not that good, as a ritual we went for a deepavai release movie Uthamaputhiran. The movie didn't disappoint us as we know already about that movie.

This time I got good time to play cricket with my cousins. And we returned back to Chennai by 08th of November.
