I have been seeing the news channels focusing on Anna Hazare extensively for the past one week and my salute to Anna Hazare as an Indian citizen for the bold initiative he has taken. It still reminds us that what a non violence and non co-operative movement can produce even in this fast paced world.
After watching the ransacking by UK citizens on TV last week, it's very heartening to see we Indians are moving forward with our freedom struggle in such a calm and determined way. Annaji has effectively filled the vaccum of a leader who the educated youth can trust.
At this moment i would also like to write a word or two about Traffic Ramasamy, who is wagging a lone battle against the politicians and other irregularities in Chennai for a very long time.
Traffic Ramasamy is a former mill worker and an active RTI petitioner and social activist. He initially started his social work by regulating the traffic in parrys corner a busy business hub in Chennai. Impressed with his service Chennai traffic police gave him an official id to regulate traffic in Chennai.
He has filed many public litigation's in Chennai high court and many of them has resulted in demolition of illegal building constructions, his litigation played a major part in restricting the movement of the motorized fishing carts.
Lately, he also contested the election as an opponent to former CM kalaignar, even though he did not create any problems for the former CM, his aim was to make people aware who is responsible for the 2g scam.
Now, I believe it's also time to recognize the yeomen service he is rendered to Chennai.

Tamil nadu boy dies on the quest of plucking fruits form a tree in army compound
It was really disturbing to hear and see the news today on TV channels. It flashed that a 13 year old boy was shot and succumbed to his injuries in hospital. What did the boy do? he trespassed into an army area in quest to pluck fruits.
Now the army says they did not fire and the investigations are going on and blame game will begin. Leave aside who shot at the boy, my humble request to the parents in tamil nadu, particularly for labour class is to teach your children to be safe.
The terrible scene I see daily in barnaby road, kilpauk is that many small children play around the road side and crosses the roads without any care. I also see that the parents sit by the side of the road but they hardly seem to tell teach their children to cross the road. What will happen if some bike or car hits the children? You parents will get the compensation, but will you guys get your children back? If you can't take proper care of your children, then better don't give birth to children.
Had if the 13 year old boy's parents have told him never to trespass the army compound he would have not crossed and probably they would have had their child with them.
Please parents teach your children about being safe and help them to be better citizens in future.

What Do Tamil Makkal expect from the present Tamil Nadu Governent?
We all know the thumping majority this present government won in this recent tamil nadu election. Even though the previous government did fulfill it’s previous poll promises it lost the recent election by huge margin, why? There are some elements which directly affected the common people which turned against the past tamil nadu government. Let the bygone’s be bygone’s, from the layman point of view tamil makkal expect the following from this government.
Electricity problem in Tamil Nadu
We tamil nadu makkal expect the present government to rectify this electricity problem. India being a developing country and fifth largest economy in the world, a fast developing state like tamil nadu can’t afford to have electricity problems like this. This cannot be solved by purchasing electricity from other states, tamil nadu needs to start some indigenous projects to produce more electricity, this needs to be started now, only then we will see some considerable results in next two years.
Real Estate price rise in Tamil Nadu
The real estate prices in tamil nadu has reached sky level helping no one. Even if it’s buying a flat in Chennai or buying a land in tier 2 cities or tier 3 cities, it is getting too costly. For example in Chennai we can’t buy a flat for less than 60 lacs around the city. On a average to pay an EMI of around 50,000 per month one should earn a take home salary of at least 1 lac. How many people in Chennai are earning a salary of 1 lac take home per month? Then how the real estate prices are so high in tamil nadu? Is it the effect of political black money? Only god knows. The present government should investigate this and should make home affordable to all
Price Rise in Tamil Nadu
The food prices have raised so much in Chennai, now people coming from Bangalore find Chennai costlier than Bangalore. A dosa which cost Rs 14 in 2008 is now costing Rs 30. Its literally a 100% rise, a south Indian meal which cost Rs24 now costs Rs 60, it’s around 120% rise, have the salaries of common people rose at this rate? The present tamil nadu government should do the needful to address this exorbitant price rise.
People like me strongly believe the present tamil nadu CM do have the capabilities to address all this, but is there a willingness to solve these problems? This only time can confirm

Sivakasi (Tamil Nadu) - The Mini Japan of India
This is my first post on Tamil nadu tourism. So, to keep it simple I want to go with tourism, I will first start it with my hometown Sivakasi. It's located down south of Tamil Nadu. It's in virudhunagar district (Kamarajar the king maker of Indian and Tamil Nadu was born at this place).
So, what's so special with this place? Sivakasi is the only supplier of crackers and matches to all of India. A very busy little town, it's a dry town but it has some wonderful natural places to visit within some 30 KM radius. The famous one is Thani paarai, it's a little water falls at the start of the western ghats, this place particularly has very good climate during the rainy and winter season.
Another scenic place to visit is Ayanar falls, a very scenic beauty of it's own. This place is particularly famous for it's trekking. Then there is courtrallam some 2 hours drive from sivakasi.
People who visit sivakasi, should taste the local food, especially parotta and salna. It's awesome and mouth watering. Combine this with mutton chuka and this going to be one of the heavenly meal you will ever have in your life.

Why Youngsters From Tier 2 Cities of Tamil Nadu Should Change?
I was recently spending about an year in the second largest city of Tamil Nadu the reason, we had a small KPO there and I was managing it. Regarding my experience with the youngsters in that tier 2 city tamil nadu is I'm so afraid of the present generation youngsters and their attitude.
1. The youngsters in Tier 2 towns lack serious professionalism (starts from being not regular to office)
2. They don't understand or don't want to refresh their knowledge or learn new things
3. Thanks to our governments, they feel their basic necessities are covered and due to this they lack serious motivation.
Also, I was speaking to one of my relative and he is so worried that they have orders like they should not fail students who are regular to school till 9th standard, he is saying that we will have fools around us in a 10 years time.
Where are these lousy govt policies going to lead us? And what are we going to do with millions of unemployable youths? Are we going to be a superpower of fools?
We all keep telling that India will be a superpower by 2020, we are not definitely going to achieve that if our millions of youngsters are not employable. The standards of engineering students in Tamil Nadu has gone way below due to many college's with improper infrastructure has cropped up. They do not have proper facilities, quality teachers and they help graduate lacs of unemployable students per year alone in Tamil Nadu. If this is just a case in Tamil Nadu, then think about whole of india. How many people know that 75% of our graduates lack basic communication skills? What our government or as a society we have done to change this? It's time wake up as a society and start acting. If we don't act now, even god cannot save us.
