Auto Drivers of Chennai!!!

People,

A weird kind of incident happened to me once, last week for me. I caught an auto from our auto stand which i usually take and it is always i pay Rs.50 for a 4.5 KM drive from R.A.Puram to G.N.chetty road, Tnagar. The usual driver did not tell me anything initially and after .5KM he started to wine and crib, stating that "today is a bandh day and i have taken out the auto out of risk". Then i started to look around and there was n number of autos roaming around. He said "'no' 'no' it is strike today and not all are participating and still it is a risk". I thought out of a good will, me as a regular passenger to him, he is driving for me. But still i saw lot of autos around. I got dropped at my office, and this driver said, you need to pay double rate today, meaning to Rs.100. I got startled. I asked, why? He said out of risk he has brought me to the office. I asked what risk he took. He could not answer. But still he demanded for Rs.100. I said, "I come regularly from your auto stand and still I can give only Rs.50 and more than that I did not hear any news in the radio/tv that there is going to be a strike today". Meanwhile, the office securities who were standing in the front of my office came to my rescue and finally i paid only Rs.50 at last after a while of arguement.

People, tell me what is the written rule, that we need to pay double amount of our usual auto charge, if there is a bandh? Is it a way for the auto drivers to make quick money.

During Bandh, rain, unusual events, they try to make quick money and who has to be blamed on these type of begging? Why the auto drivers of Chennai, are creating mental agony to the passengers in these kind of different ways? Does they want to make quick money? OR they want to stay as auto driver for ever in their life by pressurizing us and get our hidden curses?

What is the responsibility of a man kind?

Today I met one of my friend. He works for a software solutions company. He asked me about my family and the kids. I told that my son is in 10th grade and daughter in 8th grade. I also added that we are struggling to live with the household chores as we both are working. He also accepted and told that there should not be a problem, if we leave the kids at boarding school. He also added that we should live for ourselves, instead for some one else in the world. Moreover he told, that we need not take responsibilities of others and instead take responsibility of ourselves. I got shocked by the way he told me. I said, how come we can leave the kids at boarding and what is the purpose of our life, if we leave the kids at boarding and we live alone. He said, it will take some time for me to understand. He said, we will discuss the same topic after a while, and asked me to think about it.

I could not believe to hear that he has left his kid at one of the Boarding school at Anantapur, Andhrapradesh. I came to know, his wife is not working and is a housewife, and one more thing also surprised me that he told, that he is planning to leave his second kid also at the boarding school. I got astonished to hear this, but he said this in a very cool way.

He says what is wrong in that. I asked what his wife is doing at home? She is not even working and what is her duty to be a mother? The way he replied, really I could not believe. He said, his wife has given birth to two kids and enjoying at her house and whenever she feels like she goes to her mom's house, in-laws house and she basically living 'Her' life and enjoying her well being. I reverted asking then whats the purpose of having the kids. "Kids have arrived at nature's way and they need to be given with good health, environment and education at a good place which they are getting" my friend answered.

I said I still cannot understand. He said, it will take some time for you to understand and told me the following story:

There was a small hut near by a river. There lived a small family, husband, wife and 2 lovely kids. The husband works as a boat man and the wife took care of the kids at the hut. The kids used to play at the river side and they lived happily. the river is not a big flowing river and always it used to be a very calm and a free flowing river without any dangers. The family ran through a nicer life and the boatman used to be very kind with the kids and his wife cooks and take care of the family and they also had big dreams like any other human being. The girl child is so attached with the boat man and the boy used to be very much passionate with his mom and does all the chores given by his mom before he goes out to play. The kids were growing very fast and the boat man also started to become weak. Once, the boy said, 'pop one fine day i will go out to work across the river and keep everyone very happy at home and you need not take out the boat any more then on..'. The boatman also started to have big dreams of his family, living in a big house and instead of the small boat, they had a ship ........all in his dreams.

One fine day, it started to rain, and the family took it in a lighter way, as it used to be since the rainy season has started. The rain started to long last than ever and it started to downpour unlike any of the previous years. The hut started to get the river water inside, and the boatman and his son started to build a small terrace over a tree beside...the rain continued still and they all took their stuff and stayed over the tree for 3 more days. Suddenly all the eatables also got ran out and they started to starve. Still the rain started to downpour. No food......No Shelter.....the boat man became too nervous and week also. He became very scary and frustration started all over among themselves. The girl child started to wine and she started to ask for food every now and then. The rain continued, the, water level started to raise towards the tree where they were basically floating and finally the water level reached at the bark they were sitting. Thunder....lightening.....dark night....... literally no help.......Down pour...... Water level went beyond the tree....... They kept hold of each others' hands.......the lady took her girl child over her head and the boat man took the son in his head....Water level went beyond... the lady told..i cannot take her any more....and the man said......leave her and start to swim.....they both left their beloved kids and started to swim together....boat man said.....dont worry, we can have more kids.....at least you survive..more gush of water......they both started to swim and the boat man lost his wife also along the severity of the flood.

Therefore, the mankind, created by GOD is very selfish. At the time of crisis, they cannot take care of each other, and have to run for their own life. So if we understand the creativity of the GOD, we will not have the false 'pasam', 'nesam', 'affection' all these in our life. All are in one way a big Mirage. So we need to understand that in the path of our life we get husband/wife, the kids and start to live as one famly. At the time of a BIG crisis, the concept of family gets shattered and there is literally no value for it. Therefore, once we get children we need to make them to stand on their own. By making a false bonding called 'FAMILY' we spoil them and make false promises to them stating that we will take care of them. We can never take care of them and only until a crisis we can.

Finally my friend, said, it will take some time for you to understand this. He tried to justify his decision on putting his children in the boarding.......but I still cannot believe it........

Does some one has any thought of it?

Fake the Smile People!!!

Today, my son left his lunch box accidentally at home, and i had to take it to the school around 9.30Am. I expected a lot that some one from the school will collect the lunch box and hand it over to my son's class. I went to the school's office and pleaded the staff at the office. Everyone, there was hostile and did not wanted to take this small motherly responsibility. I begged them where exactly I can give the lunch box and one person told me to give it in the reception. There was no one in the reception.

We need to refine the school staff to be good with us and even if they do not want to take up our request, instead of responding in a hostile way, they can tell us that they cannot do that by delivering the words with a smile. What are we going to lose by giving a smile at people? I am also a working wome and I completely understand the stress of our womenkind who has taken up a career.

All we expect is to do our duty with a exchange of a smile.

Some how I have dropped the lunch box at the reception, and no one received it by the way and do not know whether some one have picked it up and gave it to my son at X std C sec. This is a small request from a mother who wants to give her son the lunch box, who had left it at home by mistake. All through my day till my son returns back home and gives me a call, I need to keep thinking, whether he had his lunch or not. Why to make me stressed out like this?

Instead if some one, (even a ayah/an attender) had collected the lunch box and told me with a smiley face that they will hand it over to my son, how nice it would be ?

We need a change in the people's attitude and make them happy and ask them to fake the smile atleast......................

My beloved cousin brother

hmm...my beloved cousin brother expired yesterday. though i did not had touch with him in the recent past, i still remember my childhood days spent with him. he lost his mother when he was 2 days old and was raised by his step mother. he had 4 sisters from his step mother and has struggled a lot to fill the needs of his family. he studied hard and became a amie engineer and somehow managed to get a job in pwd. he used to be very nice with my mom and dad and talks very passionately with us. whenever he comes to my house in my early childhood days, he used to bring lot of 'Tirunelveli halwa' and i used to eagarly wait for his arrival every time for this only. he shells out all his worries and problems to my mom and dad and they also used to be very much attached with him....and try to help him.

i recently met him in my niece's wedding, and he was keeping in good health....i still remember his everlasting smile on his face ....never complains about his troubles ..but.....something might have kept on bothering him.

poor my brother who was survived by his wife, 2 daughters and a son lost his life and took his last breath yesterday after having 2 severe heart attacks......

i can offer few of my tear drops for him on his demise!!!!!

It is very hard to find people, who never hurts anyone neither physically nor mentally and very hard to find people who used to be very much attached and passionate with us. My brother Kalanjiyam is one among the rarest....Let his soul rest in peace..........................................

Can we run a drive against spitting in the Chennai City?

Can we run a drive against spitting in the Chennai City?

One scene : I took an auto from R.A.Puram to TNagar. This auto guy demanded Rs.50 for just 4.5 Km and i just accepted with out any argument. The time he started to drive he spit once on his right hand side. I just flinched and came to the left extreme of my seat in the auto and somehow managed not to catch the "Spit" in my office wear. After .5Km there was a signal. This guy stopped the vehicle and spitted on the road in the left hand side. I immediately flinched and went to the right extreme of my seat. Oh..God..somehow managed not to have the glimpse of his spit and hopped to left and right of my seat like a kangarooooooo. Like this the same process went on every now and then and i reached TNagar after 10-15 times of spitting by him and me avoiding it to have a look at it. Oh..god it was so frustrating and gross also.

Same time i started to look around also and in this chennai city, people have a generic habbit of spitting in the city very casually and it is not considered as a wrong doing or a mannersless doing. I am feeling very bad and want to educate everyone of these people not to spit in the city and spoil the roads and make an awareness on the health ground.

Will anyone listen if I start telling everyone not to spit on the roads and public places?

Can anyone join with me in this drive?

Beware of maid servent agencies

Hi all

Beware of Maid Servent agencies.

What these agencies do?

They collect one month salary of these maid servents and keep it with them, with a unwritten rule/condition stating that they will provide 3 servents per year and thats why they charge the one month salary of the servent. Then they provide a servent and will deploy them at our house for a while. Then one fine day they will revoke the servent stating she is not wishing to work at your house as you are asking her personal contact address, ration card etc..and she is asking that whether we are not believing her.

Trust is not the matter here. Lots of these kind of servents are roaming within the city. They do some kind of crime or something and get into a nice house with all the facilities and nice food. Then after a few days they run away.

One more thing, these servents, they look for an opportunity to steal from our house. And they behave too good to us and be very nice with us also. But at the same time they will be very shrewd in keep looking for a nice chance to steal from us. But if they do not have a chance to steal at all, they will run away from our house stating some kind of complaint on us.
I do not know, and wonder, whether these agencies make any back ground check or not on these maids.

Better not to go these agencies and lose our money to them. There is no written rules they follow and they do not fear for police also.

What a man expect from his wife?

What a man expect from his wife????

Mankind is unique. Early man goes out in search of food. Finds a girl. Thinks he can take her with him to his self chores. Takes her. She thinks she is the owner of the the guy and takes care of him and the kids she gets in the nature's way. Man starts to take ownership of the girl. Wants her to be beautiful and wants her to serve only him. Wants her to be a slave to him.

The elder people says, women should think that it is her pride to serve as a slave for her family. But the modern men thinks she needs to be his slave though she earns for him.

The modern man wants the women to be a multifaceted person. She should earn as well as be beautiful in front of her guy always. She should go out, earn and still need to be beautiful and stand in front of him. Never she should be tired off. She cannot complain. She should not grudge. She will be never allowed to let her feelings. She should be a pay less caterer to the whole family. Take responsibilities of whatever happens in the family. Handover all the money to the guy she loves and still be happy and beautiful in front of him. Never wear any dress for her comfort and be cool at home........Kids too expect too much from their mother. They want her to be a total care taker for them. They will not do a single chore at home and not feeling for it also.

What a life for a women in this world....... Sick of thinking on this.

Want to fly away from all these clutches and go somewhere and be alone.........
Never wanting to return back.........
