Autos in Chennai-A costly time travelling..

-

Auto is a popular mode of transport for short distances which ensures both comfort and affordability in transportation.Though most of my posts focus on a larger spectrum, I really got frustrated while catching on auto which prompted me to write this one.




Autos which are most frequently used by middle-class people and in areas where buses cannot reach.Nowadays constantly stating excuses such as increase in the price of petrol and not getting enough people to travel, these auto drivers are fleecing people with exorbitant rates for short distances.They are not sparing the aged and the sick even at critical situations.Its really pathetic to see these people trying hard to bargain with these auto drivers even at tough times.There is absolutely no rules followed by these drivers and no law to impose restrictions on them.Share autos which is gaining importance is now preferred by public because they have a "Fixed" amount for appropriate distances which has diluted the amount of autos functioning in the city.This a welcome mode of transport for people now and I'll be happy if its able to cover most of the city instead of some restricted areas.

I still can't understand why Chennai is different when compared with autos functioning at other populous cities in India.In cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai, public transport is far more reasonable and friendly but here in Chennai it doesn't seem to happen.Though, the metropolitan buses are the mostly used by public as means of transportation, autos have their own crowd and those people are suffering the most.

Its high time some radical change is brought to change the mindset of these auto drivers and people who serve the public have to be more friendly and that's what fosters a healthy society.As a citizen and as a netizen, I can only raise my voice against it and its up to "official ones"  to initiate a change..

This is a guest post by an promising fashion blogger Anu Mohan. She has learnt immensely about blogging, fashion (her strong point) and maintaining healthy friendships on social media in past few months. With less than a year of blogging, she has given an interview, her post got featured in an e-magazine and has secured the Liebster Award. I'm so happy for this bubbling fashionista and wish her success in all she does!

Her Article! : To start with this is Anuradha Mohan A.K.A Anu Mohan and I am a fashion blogger. I promised Ram long time back that I would write up an article on Indian clothing for men , yes I did delay but here it is .. :D To start with overall Indian ladies are associated with Sari but when it comes to men things are little different. I would broadly classify it into North Indian Ethnic Clothing and South Indian Ethnic Clothing; let’s not go too deep into it... ok?  :) To be honest I love men who embrace Indian wear and carry it with a style, it can be a Veshti or …

Comparision between Indian Education Framework and Australian Education Framework

-
This article comprises of some comparisons between our system of education and Australian framework.For the Australian part got suggestions from my buddy Pradeep Cholan currently pursuing his Biomedical Honors at Griffith University, Australia.


First Of all, the primary difference between our dreadful system and their's lies in Understanding.There in Australia, students first do the concepts practically and then learn the theory part of it. This is an amazing method considering the fact that, students tend to do a lot of mistakes when attempting something practically and then when they follow up it with theory their thorough knowledge about the concept is achieved.That's the reason why students in abroad are good at problem identifying and we Indians are good at solving it. For example, in case of a parallel connection in circuits students there first do it practically, try different methods then achieve the results and finally learn the theory part of it.As they can do it prac…

Sometimes I wonder!

Sometimes I wonder-
When I squeeze myself into that lift pensively,
With a bunch of people yet feeling lonely,
Will this lift ever attain escape velocity?
That takes me away from this Melancholy.

Sometimes I wonder-
When I scroll on my smartphone aimlessly,
With my thumb encircling the same apps stupidly,
Will this smartphone ever work intuitively?
That takes me away from this digital Cacophony.

Sometimes I wonder-
When I'm standing in that bus stop; solitary,
With dried leaves swirling around viciously,
Will I ever get that one bus immediately?
That takes me away to paradisiacal Arcady.

And then I wonder-
What I imagine my world to be is perfect and idealistic,
But what will remain in this world then will just be "Monotony".
The Friction, the Resistance, the Cacophony, the Melancholy -
Are the things that makes me uncomfortable, but I still persist
Because, in the end makes you awesome and keeps you alive.

Love,
Ram Thilak
