Murugan Idli shop-chennai

Just the other day we went to see the beach in beasant nagar, I like that area very much, as it has a very old and good temple-Ashtlakshmi temple and a very good neat and clean beach, with many eating outlets, plus it has all type of shops, and on the roadside very good cotton material for salwar kameej is availabe and yes all types of pearls and trinkets in a reasonable price.So we went to this Murugan Idli shop, this is a good outlet, neat and clean, air conditioned ( a must in Chennai weather). Here they serve the food on Babana leaf and there is no bowl or spoons, (they supply spoons on demand) but the preparations are yummy,cuisine is south indian, mainly dosas,idli, uttapam and all that.We ordered Idli vada and dosa and loved every bit of it.I would recommend it to everybody, and i forgot to tell that prices are also very reasonable

raj thackerey

MNS has opened pandora box by taking the issue of maharashtrian and non maharashtrian. Its only due to the politics of votes that this issue is even being discussed, otherwise making prohibited boundaries in a coutry in itself be considered a crime but for the last 60 yrs our politician have followed the british policy of divide and rule.In today's times when boundaries are vanishing in the world over, here we are talking about north indian,south indian.Its so ridiculous that on one side we are asking US to open us,give us more H1 visas and all and closing our borders for our own brethren,what for; for power and self interest. Country may go to the dos,who cares.If Raj thackerey is so much against north indians, then why target only Amitabh bacchan, ask all actors,industrialists and artists who were not born in Maharashtra to leave it and then see what is left, and personally he shouldnt watch Hindi movies, shudnt employ bihari workers(which he did recently) and should never try to step out of maharashtra.Mumbai is what it is today because of its multigrain personality,take it out and it will be a dead city in notime. Our politicians are all out to destroy whatever we have, none tries to construct anything, without realising that it takes years to build something whether its a city country or relationship and can be broken in a moment.

relationship

the biggest strength of our life are our values, traditions, relations and certain rules which we follow whet er we like or not। now a days when I see people justifying everything; like saying-Ramayana is outdated or when boys are not like Rama why should girls be expected to behave like Seeta ,i feel surprised at their ignorance.Ramayana can still solve most of our problems if we go by it.Why otherwise so many relationship management books are getting so popular or why so much importance being given to stress management.Its upto us where we find solution either going to the new age classes or going back to the roots. Why so many youngsters are delving into spritual field and trying to find the knowledge and truth ? This is not their age to go into that specially in todays busy times when nobody has time even for families. The reason is that this generation wants to go away from the rules and regulations because they want to be free of everything ,everybody and all responsibilities.But then they are not really happy inside, so they are looking for happiness in all the things spiritual.While in India we have earmarked the times very clearly about the different duties in a life time.And god has given us this life with aparticular purpose, whereby we are given certain responsibilties and if we perform them with all our best efforts, we will certainly attain the moksha, there is no better way of finding god than lead a virtuous life. But we find that performing our duties interferes with our comforts and we cant compromise our life and thats why we go on finding spiritual knowledge and doing all pujas and everything. See everything should be done at its own place and time, like if you are supposed to look after your young child but instead of that you do pooja in that time, you will never please god.So its better to learn the right perspective and right priorities.In life everything goes together, we cant compartmentalise neither things nor people

restaurants in Chennai

I have recently shifted to chennai, and initially whenever we went out I loved south indian fare at Sarvana or Sangeetha , but then I longed to eat north indian food, and here so far I have been unable to find a good north Indian restaurant, either there are five star restaurants far too expensive or road side type. There was a big hype about this restaurant-EDEN in Besant nagar, so we went there, ambiencewise its just ok but food and service is not even Ok. In this respect Hyderabad is completely cosmo and much more happening.
Here even Saravana doesnt have very good ambience, comparatively sarvana in CP Delhi is fabulous.

scarlette murder

British teenager's murder in Goa is a blot on the picturuaque goa and a shame for police and officials. A young life was snuffed and it compels to think that whether all the responsibility lies with the law & order machinery only.Arent the parent also responsible for their young children.
Its a common practice that sensitivities,culture And traditions of the visiting country must be followed or honoured and India is not a permissive country and for women to go out at night safety is the biggest concern and it has to be taken care of. And here was this young girl who was left alone on her own in a foreign country and that too at night.Of course what happened was very unfortunate and shouldnt have happened but tourist should also take care to dress properly and take precautions while going out.

traffic in hyderbad

Hyderabad is a beautiful city and very comfortable to live in all respects, as it has very good weather, all amenities of life: like good schools, restaurants, malls and all the MNCS. The last mentioned have become the bane of life.Now the city is bursting on the seams.Instead of all the MNC coming to one place only, why not develop other cities,but who cares. For developing a city, government has to wok really hard providing the basic infrastructure, but here its easy, sell the land and get the money.he unplanned growth is creating many problems.
1--traffic is the biggest problem there, I have few suggestions which if considered may be very helpful in easing the congestion--
a--small roads be turned into one way.
b--In no condition be the left lane allowed to be blocked.
c--Violators must be penalised compulsorily without any fail, because I have seen many times that people are crossing even on red signal or going the wrong way, all in front of traffic policeman and he just ignores.
d-There should be signal for crossing the road.
e-better public transprt, like AC buses and proper frequency will make more people take the bus.
And last but not the least,people should adhere to the rules, and if not voluntarily, then they should be forced to follow.
