Pongal celebrations

Its festival time.


Pongal celebrations started with little ones in my neighboring house doing a kolam depicting the Mattu (Cow) Pongal. This kolam was drawn by Miss.Prianka my neighbour who is studying VI standard


The firing up of the traditional stove to start the festive event.


With fire going up we were waiting for the milk to boil out and push off to the brim of the utensil.


Yep, the festive treat captured on my mobile camera.

Happy Pongal wishes.

Nano – Tata’s small car – Boon or bane

To Tata Inc,

You have just introduced the world’s cheapest car.
Yes its India’s pride. You have made a revolution in the car industry.
Your dream product is really a special gift to the middle class Indians.
In spite of increasing input costs you have stood by your promise of 1 Lakh Rupees.
I salute you.

BUT

The already congested roads in the Indian metros will surely witness an explosive growth of car population.
Your competitors are bound to follow your business logic..,
Are you doing good to our country’s poor roads?
Should the morality of daily office goers be injured with increased journey time?

Why the car makers are making the traffic poorer ?

This same country had well planned cities called Harappa and Mohenjodaro that too 4000 years ago which had even a well planned drainage.
But today our country is heading for a more heart burn to the road users.
Why not the country make the roads richer ?
