When did Blue become white

A week back whilst commuting from Tambaram to Guindy I had to witness an interesting passenger. No sooner did she board a bus than she tendered a three rupee for the next five kilometer bus stop. The bus was a deluxe bus and the minimum fare was INR 5.

But she was asking a simple question ‘When did you paint the board blue that fast from white?’ In Chennai, deluxe buses are painted with blue boards and normal ordinary buses have a white color boards to indicate their type.

Just thought I would share this interesting passenger quote with other readers.

Squatting on Cyber and Physical Premises seems to be the fashion of the day…

Be it Internet or a public transportation footboard or a open poromboke (waste land) or a lake area, one can find illegal people occupying the space with great vigor and interest without caring for the general interests of the public. The following are the responses of such squatters:

1. Internet: You can see a number of domain parked sites with reputed industry names too stuck with them. Due to geographical distributions and multi-country legislations recovery seems to be little difficult from such cybersquatters.
2. Public Transportation Footboard Travellers: Despite the fact that they endanger their own lives and limb by travelling on the footboard, they put a big danger to the work of the crew who need to visit the police station and court if something happens to them alongwith the unwanted delays for other passengers not to mention the burden they give to their own families.
3. Waste Land Occuption: With much connivance of officials many of the lake areas typically in places like Ambattur are auctioned off and sold for many years. Only when the party-in-power changes, these come out to limelight but even then the political bureocratic red tape processes are loaded with so much inertia that offenders are let go scott-free.

Classic Music/Dance Academies in Chennai

Whatever be the modern westernization in Chennai, the classic Bharatanatyam and Carnatic Music always eternally has a great tale to tell us and shoulder to share regarding a great peace of mind Whilst commuting from Tambaram to Guindy sometime on Sunday, I observed a dance academy in Pallikaranai teaching Bharatanatyam. It is called Kalaalaya. You can find more details of the academy from their website here.

At this juncture, I would also like to recall that there is one more famous school for classical dance and music in Chennai put up near Besant Nagar. It is called ‘Kalakshetra’. You can find more details about them over here.

I just thought I would share these with other readers so that from this new year, we can have our kids enrolled in these academies as extra-curricular activities (other than regular school) which would improve their softskills greatly.

Michael April 7, 2010 &nbsp; 07:32 PM PDT&nbsp;I and my wife were in Chennai in 2008 (we’re from Russia). We wanted to attain some Indian classical music performance but didn’t find where they are going.
We even came to the Music Academy (on the bank of the river in the south of Chennai as far as I remember). But the Director of this Academy told us that we should find any announcements in newspapers. In the newspapers I didn’t find any announcements.
But we visited many Vaishnava Temples and places which was excellent achievement for this trip!
