Chennai

I have been living in Bangalore and its sad to know that we are losing one of the best cities at a rapid pace. Trees makes way for Metro and buildings. I can imagine seeing some places that this city would have been full of trees and each building that has come up would have swallowed hundreds of trees. This is changed the weather, Bangalore has losts it chillness and even rain some locals claim. IT has boomed and changed the weather. The boom has seen brimming out and spilling even in traffic. Some places are jammed most of the time. All one think when they see a huge tree is that "lovely, but it maynot be here or living always" There is no sign of tree plantations. When it rains, trees is a major cause of worry n scare since its old and dead branches are bound to fall and we need to be really lucky not to be down and a victim as well. Authorities should take care of the trees since they have very few to maintain. A school in chennai, cuts the trees big and off-way branches of the trees to bring in balance and give more strength to the main trunk to withstand the wind and rain. This is very safe for our kids in the skool. They do this just before the rainny season and its a great idea. Wish the same is followed and we could save some trees and weather and Bangalore.

Chennai

Hi starting a blog for Chennai even though currently working in Bangalore. I have been shuttling to Chennai on weekends and weekdays back to Bangalore. Travelling to Chennai in the afternoon train to reach Chennai in the night....huh what a journey it is. Thanks to Laloo's greatest and fast innovation of bring in Electronic ticketing. We are saved as we manager to get window seats otherwise Brindavan train literlly is like a crowded chennai buses. People buy Rs41/- tickets and quietly sneak into the reserved compartment to the harrassment of the reserved passengers. They block the path to the bathroom and try to occupy anyones seat if give a chance. Non of the officials are trying to control them. EVen thought this is a big and addditional revenue its deprives the reserved passengers from their freedom and liberty to move around.

Reaching Chennai, we used to park our car in a by lane and to everyone's surprise the house owners have reported to the cops and we need to remove our car elsewhere. Wonder is everyone complains and the authorities come to take action, many of the citizens will not be able to buy a car. As long as the parking of the car doesnt distract or in-between their path of their house understandably they should accept the current scenario. Houses in city comes even under CMDA as close-houses wherein we dont have to give space between each others houses while constructing. I wish the authorities take action even against the people who reported when their relatives car are parked in the same place. Imagine the tough life everyone will have once we have the 1 Lakh rupees car out?. Cant imagine that with such money power, 70% of the bikers can affort 1lakh rupee car but but but where do we park and who can complain and how can the authorities control?
