Earthquake in chennai

Yesterday it was a day when people in Chennai got panic because of tremors which was felt in some parts of the city. The meteorological department said that some places in Chennai like Koyambedu, Kodambakkam and TNagar recorded tremors measuring upto 6.2 on the Richter scale. They also stated that this was because of the earthquake that shook the Andaman & Nicobar islands with the richter scale measuring around 6.7. So, this sudden tremor has shook the people but the department has asked the people not to panic or worry about this tremor.

After 25 years

Twenty five years have passed by and still the memories are afresh in our minds. Its on the same date India won its first cricket world cup at Lords, London. It’s a day no Indian will ever forget. Kapil Dev and his boys took on the mighty Clive Lloyds West Indies team. The odds were 61:1 against India. India played first and scored only 183 which was a small target for great team like West Indies. But Indian team played so well that they defended the small total and defeated the West Indies comfortably. Many described that as David slaying Goliath. Whatever it be , those 11 players brought glory to our country which is embarked in cricket history forever.

Last day in college

Yesterday I went to my college to get all my certificates. Went there in the morning in the college bus. It was completely a different experience. When we reached there it was informed that we have to get the signature in the no due form only then the certificates will be issued. Then we went to the department library, central library to get the no due signed from the respective in chargers. Finally we went to the HOD to get his sign. When we entered the lab, my memories started to ponder the college days. Hmmm it was a dream period. Then we finally went to collect our certificates. To my surprise I saw that I got 78% overall. I thought I would get something around 76%. Thank you My Lord… finally when we left the college I felt very emotional. I can never forget my college life…….

My 21st birthday

Today is my 21st birthday and I really enjoyed a lot. I went out with my friends and gave them treat in Lee’s restaurant. We all had good non vegetarian food. After finishing the lunch we went to fruit shop near Besant nagar beach. After partying in the fruit shop we went to beach that’s the place where the real fun started. My friends asked me to cut the cake when I bent over to cut the cake they started to throw eggs at me. In no time my t-shirt got drenched in egg. Then the rain came to add more misery to me. Finally I went to my friends had a bath then went home. I left my home at 1ten in the morning when I reached home it was 9.30. but overall I enjoyed a lot. Thank you friends……

Higher inflation rate

Inflation rate is climbing higher and higher. This is causing greater problems to Indian middle class family. The higher inflation rate has caused price hike of many commodities. The hike in the crude oil price globally has influenced the inflation rate to a greater extent. But what is more bothering is not only the petrol and diesel prices have gone up but also other products prices have also gone up. The petrol and diesel price hike has indirectly increased the prices of the other products. Even vegetables, fruits and other edible items have higher price rates. Many experts say that that this scenario will continue for some more months, but the general public is already feeling the heat out of this issue. What is more important is that the government should take appropriate steps to control the inflation rate. If this continues then the survival of Indian middle class family will become very difficult in this country.

IPL- A success story

IPL finally ended in a grand manner. As expected a team with least expectancy won the championship. Rajasthan Royals deserve the cup. They played really well throughout the tournament. Even Chennai Superkings played well. Since this 20-20 format is fast gaining popularity among the cricket fans, this tournament kicked off in a grand manner. Almost all the grounds were full for all matches and that has been the success part of this tournament. BCCI has decided to have two seasons in a year but that will take some time. But as far as now the tournament was a grand success and kudos to Lalit Modi and his team.
