Just been thinking Chennai is finding it hard to beat the heat while recent supreme court verdict says to remove sun film on all four wheelers.
Just because of the naughty 10% why should the 90% of people suffer. Aren’t there better technologies and hard laws to solve the problem.
All these strict laws may disappear in the next few months and the loosers are the once who support these laws.
Friends have been saying wait for an stay order it should be on its way.
After the recent petrol hikes. There is nil availability of diesel at few pumps and after few days the pump outlet seems to remain closed.
Aren’t there government bodies who look in to these matters.
Chennai has now become one of the top costliest cities to live in India.
I am sure these people don’t have water connection at their residence, So I wouldn’t stop them from using this water, but at the same time I don’t want them to contaminate the drinking water.
I seriously feel that Chennai people lack respect for water, and fall a prey during the summer days. Check out the video on how water is treated with respect and how people in Rajasthan preserve water even while they get the lowest rainfall in our Country India.
I am sure politicians also play a major role for the current state in TamilNadu.
Speaking of which TamilNadu needs to learn, respect and to conserve water.

Click on the Photos for a larger version. Enjoy the slice of velachery, chennai taken at different periods of time. So I keep varying about the subject. So kindly bear with me.
Topic 1:
From Vijaynagar bus stand to Velachery Railway station you will be amused to see the number of shops propping up on a day today basis, after the railway station started to function.
Where is the platform?
Remembering to story of hoarding in Chennai, which added some distractions and vivid colors, Currently helping us to get some cool breeze. I am wondering what happened to the people who were involved in that business. After many years of livelihood a simple rule just took away their work.
I wish the same shouldn’t happen to the vendors of velachery. Either follow rules so that they are not affected after years.
By the way, I Wonder these shop keepers pay the tax and if they did, does it reach the right authorities of the Government or Chennai Corporation. End of the day, people complain about IT professionals and the salaried people who pay the tax, for all the rise in price etc etc. Have we ever worried about the tax payers.
Topic 2:
People can’t control and take a leak here, near Sutherland technologies pavement. You need to have blocked nose to walk on this area of pavement. There is no public toilet around in this huge stretch.
Parking right under the no parking zone is actually fun.
Topic 3:
Irony is about these Auto Drivers who park the autos on the pavement or sometimes they even ride on the opposite side of the road, they will even give you a jolt by honking and even give you a bewildered look while they pass by.
And some times you will find the lawman very much following the rules.

You must be hearing people screaming over the microphone on most parts of the Chennai city, the Chennai corporation is helping people to get patta, water connection, complain about street light not working etc etc.
Now chennai corporation is making life simple for all Chennai people.
And I thought all the above should be happening at ease, with out even the above Chennai corporation pamphlet distribution at every corner of the street.
So why this distribution of pamphlets all of sudden and that too in the 5th year. Is there any elections coming around 
God Save Chennai

Well buying an A/C is simple, it is about some thing like buying an Elephant, and worrying about maintaining it.
Here are few things about our A/C servicing guys in Chennai during AMC – Annual Maintanance Contract usually happens to be free for the 1st year when you buy an A/C. You need to renew the AMC periodically before it gets expired. It is good as the A/C compressor are costly to be replaced.
What covers in an AMC?
It varies from vendor to vendor. The common ones are listed below
Some offer more packages to attract customers, by bringing the compressor under warranty if the A/C are new, so replacement is free.
How to service the A/C the usual method?
The below points are going to referred for the Window A/C unit
There are little variation as far as the split A/C is concerned. The outside unit has to be properly cleaned, which usually doesn’t happen as some one in your family needs to supervise the entire operations.
What is that they are supposed to offer during that 1 year?
4 free regular checkup and cleaning of the A/C machine. Yeah for name sake to get their charge sheet signed. Except for the Air filter, nothing else gets cleaned up. If you ask them they will insist, this is more than enough.
What happens when you don’t get the required output from the A/C?
They start cleaning the coils, NOW
My personal experience:
I have a 1 ton Window A/C unit of the make LG 6 yrs old and 2 ton split A/C of the make carrier 1 yr oldI would rate the LG better in terms of servicing they did some decent job, where as the Carrier guys where just behind the money. They would pour a bucket of water on the outside unit which was at the roof top and just cleaning the Air filters of the inside unit of the Split A/C.
Heard from my friends that Samsung is also good in terms of servicing.
The only problem I currently face with my 1 ton LG window A/C is for the loud noise.
Would be glad to hear some constructive comments and suggestions. If you need more info please let me know. If possible I will respond to the comments and suggestions.

Click on the Image for a large view – BTW this picture was taken during the afternoon on Sunday, so the place is not that crowded
Place: Near Annanagar Railway station a bridge with lots of mobile Fish stalls
This road is a connection between Villivakkam and Annanagar, and believe me this road is already narrow and crowded and on top of this new mobile fish stalls just started has created hell a lot of problems for commuters.
Kindly note: I am not against the fishermen nor the traders and nor the public. I would love to have a fish stall out there close by which doesn’t bother the traffic.
Morning time is the peak and school goers are the major sufferers. Traffic gets the ultimate beat.
Here is the request with the solution for the Chennai corporation. Can the mobile fish stall be moved little away from the bridge to the end of the bridge there is a vacant place towards Annanagar where very few people use that road as it stinks because of the cooum river.

I was reading to “The Hindu” this morning, and saw this article. I have been in the same place trying to cross the road to reach central sub urban railways station. The cops have no control over the crowd. Yeah, I did see the subway, as Ms. Selvi stated it was in a pathetic shape.
My question is does chennai traffic police has to hear all this, just because they are doing good.
They are trying to save our lives.
This is what chennai peoples mentality. Even if some one is helping you, you start pointing fingers.
Well if Chennai traffic police had the rules in the first place, they need not have to hear the words, which people state.
I had stated once at chennai.metblogs too.
Just an Update: I took the other subway which is messier and with lot of hawkers. The one close to the park town station is cleaner safer and hawkers free.
Wondering when would Chennai traffic police would take the same step of encouraging people to use safe subway at saidapet bus terminus. Wish that could come true.
