Powercut pandemic

This afternoon there was a power cut lasting nearly 2 hours. As I have mentioned in my previous posts, this is some thing very frequent in our area in Chennai. 

Although the political scenario in Tamilnadu has undergone an unexpected change, it is too early to guess how the new coalition will govern the State.

According to a News Report, MLAs in all political parties including the ruling TVK have criminal charges on them. This is certainly discouraging.

I wish that Joseph Vijay and his team manage the State better than those in Dravidian parties. 

More importantly, like any educated middle class senior citizen, I wish that an honest political party with zero corruption comes to power at State as well as Central levels.

Shree Mahaa Vishnu Fests

Today is the anniversary on which Shree Brahnanya Theertha attained the Lotus Feet of Lord Shree Krishna.

Sarvam Krishna Mayam🙏

Helping hand in an alien land

This afternoon, RT TV Channel telectast an interesting documentary that showed how Russia helped Mauritius that was emormously affected by a natural disaster neary 50 years ago.

As a person who has not been interested in local, national or international politics, I keep my unbiassed stand about Russia and Ukraine and I think that both countries need to be mutually friendly and support each other.

When I was working in Ethiopia as a Physics Teacher in a remote area in Tigrai Region in 1982-83, I and my fellow Indian colleague Sebastian Peruumcheril John from Kerala, used to be greeted by local children. Our colleagues used to tell that we were treated how these children's parents treated Russians who offered enormous help in socio-economic development of Ethiopia. I have seen how educated Ethiopians respected Marxist Leninist ideologies.

The documentary shows opinions of a few Mauritians of Indian ancestry.

Let me share the documentary here.

Travel Shows

Currently telecast Travel Program 'Clive Myrie's Caribbean Adventure' by BBC WORLD TV Channel is different and more meaningful than those telecast by others. Charismatic presenter Clive takes us to places and people instead of just the dining table. I wish that in future, BBC telecasts such programs that feature people and places and not just eating and food. Today's program was shot in Barbados.

Solar Energy

Yesterday there was a TV News item according to which our Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modi encouraged farmers to reduce the use of fertilisers and opt for solar energy. Solar energy has been proven to be better than Nuclear Energy, Fossile Fuel etc. With harmful chemicals in fertilisers, his advice is obviously very meaningful. 

Last week I came to know that solar battery recycling in a town in Africa caused enormous pollution with consequent effect on the health of residents.

I think that innovative projects should be implemented with caution.

Evil Public Administration

A few minutes ago, as I was viewing a Malayaalam language movie of 1980s on TV, there was a tranformer blow out and power cut (which is a very frequent happening as I mentioned a few of my previous posts). 

As I mentioned previously, the rascal MLA of the area, politicians and incorrigibly evil employees in the Tamilnadu Electricity Board need to be dismissed from service and to be banned from service permanently.

Although there has been drastic changes in the State Political System in recent elections, unless problems such as frequent powercuts, unreasonable autofares etc. are fixed, it obviously means that whichever political parties will be involved in State Governance, they prove themselves to be inefficient. Consumer Organisations too need drastic changes with dismissal of current workers involved.
