he theatres in Tamil Nadu have been closed indefinitely in protest against the 30% tax of Tamil Nadu while a section of the media and party leaders who are always waiting for an opportunity to blame the centre have the temerity of distorting the fact and blaming the GST and the Centre for being responsible for the present situation.
If the theatres lose 10 crores per day, that is the gain that people make every day due the closure of these theatres

India and Israel signed agreements on water conservation and recycling, where Israel’s technology is considered the most advanced.
They desalinate 90% of the water used in their households from the sea, and recycle 95% of sewage water for agriculture.

Its technology and best practices will both be useful to India, beginning with Uttar Pradesh

My Muslim faith, way of life reflect peace: A R Rahman
What provoked him to make the above statement?
We don't question his faith. But the question arises unfortunately only when Muslim faith as a way of life as followed by some groups instead of reflecting peace seems to be deflecting peace.
 
Beware. Credit card holders beware.

The consultant clinical psychologist urged families to give children more freedom, away from indoor pursuits which can lead to 'excessive exposure' to screens and social media.
According to Dr Godsi one should switch off or leave mobile devices behind when out with family. The method should be applied during meal times as well. Youngsters should have 'real fun' instead of 'pretending' to be enjoying themselves for the camera.

Man dies after falling in platform gap at Borivali in Mumbai. News
My wife had a similar experience when she slipped as she stepped up to enter the carriage. But forunately, the train was not in motion and she was caught and saved well in time before she had a fall. In many stations, we still find that the platform is at a lower level and the carriages at a higher level, necessitating the passenger to use those vertically aligned steps which are inconvenient and dangerous for children, the disabled , the sick and the old. Our railway stations and trains have to be made more friendly for passengers of all age groups and sizes.
 
Locked House" SMS service introduced yesterday by the police on its service help line landed a dentist in teething trouble because of the wrong mobile number. The service is meant to help those who lock their houses and go out on either a short or long vacation and to provide safety and security to their houses during their absence. Instead of giving their number 9500099100, the number given by the help line in papers was 9840700100 resulting in a dentist getting caught unawares and receiving SMS nonstop through out the day. Usually it is the dentists who give you pain and today some police personnel inadvertently reversed the role.

Life is most sacred, lynching in the name of cow protection unacceptable: Ram Madhav. News
Ram Madhav, I appreciate you. Lynching and killing anyone by anybody is unacceptable and condemnable, no doubt. What happens to your conscience when large section of people are massacred and their properties looted in the name of religion? You don't seem to open your mouth. It seems to operate one way . Is it? What a hypocrisy it is? If you are a human being with a sense of balanced thinking and a true conscience, you must condemn the Bengal atrocities against Hindus with the same vigour with which you condemn lynching. Both are bad, but you fellows seem to have a one way thinking. Hell unto such people.
 
India slams Pak glorifying Burhan Wani, supporting sponsoring terror. News
What else can we expect from a country like Pakistan when our own people in J&K hail him and many others in India silently extending support to him? There are many in India outside J&K providing support to people like Wani overtly and covertly. Action should be initiated against such people without allowing them to grow into a force to reckon with later.
 
The Varmas, the former royal family of Travancore, now part of the modern state of Kerala, have staunchly opposed opening Vault B, citing fears it will disturb the temple’s spiritual energy, anger the deity and bring them ill fortune. “They believe death will visit them if Kallara B would be opened,” KK Venugopal, a family lawyer, told the judges during a Supreme Court hearing in August. “They are extremely concerned something may happen to them.”
The lawyer then read to the bemused judges from a 1933 book on Travancore that recounted how a 1908 attempt by kingdom officials to retrieve temple valuables was suspended due to cobras in the vault, interpreted as a warning against tampering with the wealth of the deity, also known as Lord Padmanabha.
The unopened vaults add mystery to the temple. are they Pandora's boxes?
The Kerala government on Monday made it clear that it would implement whatever decision the Supreme Court took on opening vault ‘B’of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram.
Devaswom Minister Kadakkampally Surendran held talks with members of the Travancore royal family in Thiruvananthapuram on the matter.
He later told reporters that the royal family was against the opening of the underground chamber as, according to them, there were “ritualistic restrictions” on the opening of the “sacred” vault, which had never been opened before.
However, the government made it clear that whatever decision the apex court takes on the matter would be implemented.






Vaults A and B opened at temple
The much-anticipated opening of two vaults (kallaras) inside Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple here, which were supposedly last opened more than a century ago, had an anti-climactic ending on Wednesday with

A man was allegedly stopped from entering Kolkata's Quest Mall on Saturday for wearing a 'dhoti'
"Yet another incident. After a series of restaurants it's now a mall refusing entry to someone. A man wearing a dhoti and kurta was not allowed to enter Quest Mall in Kolkata today. Apparently wearing dhoti or lungi isn't allowed in this particular mall anymore," Debleena, a Kolkata-based actor, wrote in a Facebook post.
This is yet another discrimination that is disgusting.

A fond hope
Yesterday ( 20th October 2013) was a great day for me for the simple reason that I took a metered auto from Mylapore to my house at Thiruvanmiyur (for which the autos usually charged not less than Rs 150/- for the past three or more years) and paid just the meter rate of Rs 85/-( for the recorded distance of slightly less than 7 Km ) plus a gratis of Rs 5/- on my own volition, thus paying only Rs 90/- and derived a satisfaction which I never had in the past fifteen years of my using autos in the city. I felt like shouting "Hurrah". I wish that this momentum is maintained and should not be allowed to die a natural death in due course. I am sure our chief minister Jayalalitha will stand up to her reputation and ensure that metered autos are the order of the day hereafter.
( A hope that died amateurishly)
 
Even as residents of Kathiramangalam village in Thanjavur continued their protests against ONGC's exploration work in the area on Friday, the oil and gas exploration agency has announced that they will construct 4,050 Individual Household Latrines (IHHL) in Ariyalur, Ramanathapuram, and Tiruvarur districts
I THINK IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION.
Construction of latrines is a good idea, But their MAINTENANCE AND USAGE has been a problem in our country.Someone from this area may object to this move saying you are interfering with Tamil culture,
 
Challenging the legality of the move, the petitioner submitted that powers to regulate admission to medical courses lies exclusively with the Medical Council of India (MCI) as per the provisions of the Indian Medical Council Act. The MCI has stipulated that admissions to medical courses shall be based on the marks obtained in NEET and merit list prepared on basis of such marks and it does not distinguish between students from CBSE and State Board.
How can Tamil Nadu usurp the powers of Medical Council?
Madras HC quasing the order is a welcome move.
