Stop Rash Driving

Driving has become rampant in last decade in the city of Madras and for that matter the entire country. But in here I am penning what I see on the road daily. We all travel atleast 10 kms daily to work (each way). We feel that driving is our Birth Right but in reality driving is a privilage and should never be misused. We all complain about traffic congestion in the city but no one wants to find solution for this. I was reading a research study recently and I was surprised about the finding in the article. It is estimated that there are 16.5 million people in the City of Los Angeles. The city has roads built around the city as Freeways and High ways for ease of travel, but still there is traffic congestion in the city during peak hours. The main reason that was quoted in the study was lack of public transport.


I couldn't complete the blog and even before that we have 2 major accidents in chennai city in a row.

1. Minister's son died

2. Bus Over turned on Gemini Bridge.



It is so unfortunate that these days it is a nightmare to be on the Chennai City roads. I don't think I have to complete the blog as actions speak more than words. Take a look at yourself

Please fiends who drive daily think again and always remember to share the road with other person. It is not our "Right to Drive but it is a Privilege".

Boycott TASMAC near Schools, Place of Worship and public places

Dear Friends,

Month of June is here, this is beginning of school season and many schools will be starting the academic year pretty soon. We all want our kids to have better education and want them to become a better citizens, but we forget one thing the society plays a critical role in the development of a child. Our child's growth and future depends on the ambiance and surroundings that we provide for them to grow.

TASMAC is the state run wine shops in our great state of Tamil Nadu. With growing sales at TASMAC in recent past the shops have mushroomed uncontrolled in all places with out any care. As a good citizen and want our kids to have better tomorrow we should take a oath to stop buying drinks from those TASMAC shops that are close to any schools, any places of worship and any places places like railway station, bus stand, parks etc.

Why do I say this?

These are the places our kids regularly use and if they see all these men drinking they naturally get intrigued to find more about it especially in teen age. We as responsible Madras vasi should not give this opportunity for our kids. I cannot say not to drink because that is individual preference and I am no authority to ask somebody not to drink, but as a friend I request you to avoid buying drinks from TASMAC shops that are close to these places so that sales go down and the shops close them selves.

This could be the first step that we can take to completely remove alcohol from our society. If you want to physically see the abuse caused in person please try to visit Guindy Station on race course and you can experience the problem first hand. I am not sure Govt is going to take action because it is a nice source of income for them to fill up the coffers. So we need to stand united in curbing this abuse.

Let me know your thoughts
