Traffic violations–What happens if

  In response to my previous post , many friends of mine wanted to write a post about what actually happens when you are caught for dis-obeying traffic rules . So , here it is . Before I actually get into the topic , I wish to set a few things clear . Traffic police , as in any other departments has hierarchies .There are levels of supervision and each is held responsible to answer the the one under its control . These people in general , work for much longer hours than anyone (usually depending on the place they are in-charge of) . They have their tasks assigned . A particular number of cases are expected to be filed by them . Now this number usually comes with the statistics of the average number of such incidents and to make sure that this avg number is handled to keep things under , if not total control , at least to some level . So what actually happens when you are caught .The personnel who is directly monitoring these traffic finds such people and takes them to their supe...

Just Fear and No Responsibility

  There are many places when you find people responding and bowing down just to threats , cash and fear and not to what is humane . Everything looks fine and seems to be in order , when there is someone around to hold things in chains , trying to control . People just pretend as though they obey but that’s one big sick joke .The moment the chains break or let loose , things go berserk . One thing that deeply bothers me is the traffic . In day light , I don’t  think we can bring timings in here , so , it would be apt this way : When there is someone watching you, ready to fine you for even the smallest signs of disobedience , everything appears normal and as how it should be . But most talk badly on these traffic personnel . All that we care is that we are losing money , and not that we have failed to follow rules devised for our safety . Please do note that , I am talking only about things that are legit . Corruption among these people is an entirely different topic (Even if...

The Goldilocks Network

  An article I was reading recently in a magazine (New Scientist) had this discussed . Now all of us have heard about Goldilocks and the three bears . In that story she finds a bed that is by all means suitable after trying a few . Now the topic that I'm going to discuss here has its roots in that story .  It is always said that a person can be judged by his friends . That is because friends are the most influential people in our life . They know us and so we share &  discuss everything with them . It is also a fact that the world greatest personalities are inspired by their peers and rivals . Now if we start to search about their social connections , it has a mix of people who are neither too close nor too strange . Great deeds often require lightning strikes of inspiration . We cannot be creating these on our own like Zeus , but we can lay the ground work for it : Our social circles . Strangers have often proved to be an unusual source of inspiration and ideas . ...

Impression

A modern dictionary defines Impression as a strong effect produced on the intellect, feelings,conscience, etc. or perception upon the mind - sensation. I believe we can say its kind of a pre-judgment .Impressions , are the ones that get us friends and foes and plays a role in initiating and breaking relationships. The one that is talked about a lot and lives in our history and in future as proverbs,quotes and as stories . First impression is the best impression , A good impression is hard to earn and so on . The moment we look at someone , we keep them in a balance , the one that we have designed for ourselves and which many of us deny to possess . Friendship begins with impression , or any relationship for that matter .  No one can deny that . When we enter a new place , do we start talking with anyone ?(in a way to seek friendship) ,just anyone ? Some telepathic connection driving us towards them ?. No ,We don’t . We talk to the one that appeals the most . Ofcourse , it i...

Ophiuchus and the Mayan Calendar

This is an article by Rush Allen I would like you to consider the September 11, 2001 WTC Disaster in New York City in light of the highlighted words that most people are in agreement with. We seem to be oblivious to the fact that events like the 9-11 WTC event do not happen without a transcendent dimension. The focus on the 2012 debate is another Westernized rationalization; what Jenkins says happens when "you translate a multidimensional, advanced, wholistic paradigm into a linear, materialistic, fragmented framework of understanding."  If you are going to properly develop the 2012 debate on your web site, I suggest that you begin to bring the transcendent dimension into the topic, otherwise, your site will simply become a philosophical library for words that do not carry any meaning.   I have applied the fundamental thesis of the Maya 2012 date, the Denderah Zodiac virgin birth, the pyramids of Egypt, and a direct correlation of the tomb artifacts of Tutankhamun to the 9...

Nostradmus and Ophiuchus

13=4=time and closure - the 4 rotating fan blade effect - the swastika, etc. Nostradmus worked with all 13 constellations when making astrological predictions which takes us to Ophiuchus (pronounced off-ee-YOO-cuss) - the 'Serpent Holder' - who is represented as a man with a snake coiled around his waist. He holds the head of the snake in his left hand and its tail in his right hand. This again takes us to the universal archetype of snake/serpent/reptilian signifying DNA and the human biogenetic experiment out of the Middle East, replete with extraterrestrial references.   Ophiuchus is one of the 88 known constellations and was also one of the 48 listed by Ptolemy. It is a large constellation located around the celestial equator between Aquila, Serpens and Hercules, northwest of the center of the Milky Way. The southern part lies between Scorpius to the west and Sagittarius to the east. Of the 13 zodiacal constellations (constellations that contain the Sun during the...

Ophiuchus: The 13th Zodiac Sign

Mythology There exist a number of theories as to whom the figure represents. The most recent interpretation is that the figure represents the healer Asclepius, who learned the secrets of keeping death at bay after observing one serpent bringing another healing herbs. To prevent the entire human race from becoming immortal under Asclepius' care, Zeus killed him with a bolt of lightning, but later placed his image in the heavens to honor his good works. It has also been noted that the constellation Ophiuchus is in close proximity in the sky to that of Sagittarius, which has at times been believed to represent Chiron (the mentor of Asclepius and many other Greek demigods), though Chiron was originally associated with the constellation Centaurus. Another possibility is that the figure represents the Trojan priest Laocoön, who was killed by a pair of sea serpents sent by the gods after he warned the Trojans not to accept the Trojan Horse. This event was also memorialized by the sc...

What an idea !!!

         A recent news in a local daily  appreciated a man from Madurai named chinmayanandham . We all have studied and listened to so many lectures on “Say no to plastic” .But how many of us follow .Not even 10% . With so many problems like global warming  , sea level rise , etc ., what do we do as a responsible citizen to help and save nature in the least possible way that we could ? I guess the answer would be - Nothing !!! . Even I would go with the same answer as we people don’t mostly care of what happens to the environment .             In such a scenario , I was really moved to see a news that a meat shop owner from Madurai has taken steps to make people avoid using  plastic and  he has actually succeeded in that .He had announced a special offer to all his customers , that four eggs and a discount of four rupees , will be given for those who buy meat  in anything other t...

Subconscious and Alcohol

                   A movie i saw recently had a scene wherein  two friends , completely drunk were crying for what they have done , sharing their deepest secrets and expressing their feeling of guilt . This made me think if they are speaking the truth under the influence of alcohol . Then i related the scene with what happens in our society . We would probably have seen many such incidents in television or real life .People out of control , people getting into fights , some laying unconscious in streets , crying out loud , laughing , talking to self  and so on . Then i thought if these people were bare inside , naive . I wanted to  know more about this , so i googled .                     I was wondering if this alcohol opens up their subconscious leaving them in some state of trance or dream  as in most cases they seem to give out their deepest st...

Footboard Travelling

 Today , I was not at all interested in going to coll  to attend a seminar in the morning- compulsorily (thats what our class rep told us) .Usually we dont have class by that time on wednesday's , I go to coll only by 1 pm .Only the other elective students come to college by morning . Who in the world will go to coll only for a seminar thats not related to you in anyway !!! But the rain saved most of us from the blade .It was heavily raining when i was in the bus .I saw so many school children , probably 6th to 8 th level , travelling in the footboard , even if there were space inside .When i got the info the the classes for that day has been cancelled , i got down by valluvar kottam and was waiting for a bus to home .It was then , i happened to listen to this conversation ; Boy 1 : Machan vaada , indha bus la poyidalaam , gaaliya irruku . Boy 2 : Dei poda , kootama edavadhu varattum Boy 2 : Hey va va , indha deluxe bus la pogalaam (it was fully packed) Boy 1 : Dei adhula...
