Confidence lost in Evolution

We do have theories and beliefs that man originated from Monkeys. I did a quick comparison on the confidence level betweeen Man and Monkey. Security of life is a big concern today in human life. Man want himself to stick to something before he jump out from the current state. This is applicable from Job or whatever we do. But monkeys on the contrary, while jumping will release its hands from the current branch / tree to catch the new one.

Even if they miss the intended branch, it will hold the next one.

Building better confidence like Monkeys.

Side Upper in Train.

Railways once introduced a berth by name Side Middle, to accompany 9 more passengers to each compartment. But it soon proved to be a bad model as the side upper went a little higher to make it tough for the passenger to get into to the berth. The side middle was removed then. A couple of days back, I took the Perl City express to come to Sattur from Chennai. I got the side upper berth. But in the compartment, I travelled, they have removed the side middle, but have not lowered the Side Upper to the previous position. It became very tough for me to get into the compartment. I saw a couple of people who are more thn 6 feet struggling hard to get in and get out.

The compartment itself is too old that it had a lot of reinforcements done for the different berths. With the revenue Railways is making and considering the cost paid by the consumer for the travel, Railways can replace such older compartments.

Murugan Idly Kadai @ T.Nagar

Happened to be at T Nagar yesterday morning for a shopping. I was accompanied by one of my friend. It is Sunday and the parking was full even @ 10:00 AM in the morning. We got parking next to the Murugan Idly Kadai on GN Chetty Road. I havn’t been to Murugan Idly Kadai till then. So thought of checking it out.

We stepped in. It was a small place which can accomodate 35 to 40 people and was well air conditioned. The seats were 90% full almost for the whole time we were in the hotel. We took a corner table to start . We ordered two Idlies each and waited for 10 mins before we got it on the table. The idly was good and very soft. The Sambar didn’t have a very appealing taste. We went for two Dosas which took another ten minutes to land. The guys gave us plenty of Chutney for the idly and Dosa.

The climax came when the bills landed. It was Rs 98/= including tax. It  is three times costlier than the hotels I take my breakfast.

Overall, the price is too costly. The Price sheet listed a coffee to be Rs 15/= and a single piece of  idly to be 9. The taste is not worth the cost.

Rich Biryani @ Madipakkam

After a month time, I visited Rich Briyani at the Madipakkam main road, next to the Reliance Fresh. I don’t see any improvement in the way they prepare the biryani.  They have added too much of pattai, krambu and yelakkai. But the base taste is missing.

There were only a very few customers around.  The cost is also too much for the quality of the biryani.

The location previously had a vegetarian hotel, which provided a very good food. But the problem with those guys was that they will be closed mostly.

My Blog and Twitter

Twitter is the micro blogging service, It helps you express your views and thoughts in not more than 140 characters. More than a blog, it is very easy, simple and quick.

Smaller Content :

  1. Lesser time and lesser effort for followers.
