SPLASH!!!!!!

Scene 1: Walking into the apartment complex. The badminton court filled with colour and people happily covered in colour and muck!
Me: (Thinking) Escape!!
I try to take the lift on the other side of the apartment. Phew! Not a soul in sight!
Scene 2: Two little girls covered in colour.
Girl one: Didi can I put this on you? (Referring to the colour mixed in water)
Me: (Thinking) how sweet, she is asking me permission before hand. Phew!
My reply: Uh…No not now
Before I can complete the sentence…. SPLASH!!!!!
Girl two: Didi, you know what??
Me: Yeah?  (Wiping my face)
Girl one: You are a fool! (Giggling hysterically)
Me:  Tell me something new!…
 Both girls: HAPPY HOLI!!!!
Me: Same to you!
And I head towards the badminton court to complete the quota!

Trichy Police - “Redefining Peace”

ATTENTION! According to the statistics for 2007, released by the National Criminal Records Bureau, Tamil Nadu had a total cognizable crime rate of 261.7 per one lakh population, while that of Chennai was 256.9.  The crime rate, defined as the number of crime trends as it balances incidence with growth in population. Chennai’s crime rate ensures that the metro is ranked a creditable 24 th among 35 major cities in the country while Coimbatore stands at the 22nd position and Madurai at the 30 th .  However the situation in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru can send a chill of apprehension down anyone’s spine.  Delhi has earned the skeptical distinction of being the most unsafe metro in the country, topping the list of the number of crimes. According to latest government statistics, Delhi accounted for 13.2 per cent of a total of 3,43,749 crimes reported in 35 mega cities across the country in 2009 followed by Bengaluru (9.4 %) and Mumbai (9.1%).

WASTE MANAGEMENT- WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT?

What’s Bangalore’s biggest nightmare? Those in mansions and bungalows can escape it once they are inside their homes. The roadside, slums, villages are filled with it. It is the city’s most dreaded enemy. With rising piles of garbage across town, Bangalore is on the verge of saturation with added pressure on landfills and age- old technologies. Solid waste management takes committed and responsible implementation of waste collection, handling and disposal.

But can anyone point out the exact reason for this crisis? The success and failure of waste management can be attributed to several factors that may seem obvious such as proper disposal of waste, participation of the community, hiring th...

For Self or a Selfie?

The Oxford English Dictionary's Word of the Year for 2013 was 'selfie’. No points for guessing why. Carol had a unique hobby. She liked capturing different images of the sky.  While she was on a solo road trip, she decided to click one such photograph.  However this one turned out to be a selfie.  Little did she know that a small adventure awaited her.  As she was clicking her photograph with the sky as the backdrop, two men stopped by on a bike, one jumped into Carol’s car and both of them sped away.  It all happened in a fraction of a second! Carol used her presence of mind and checked her picture.  She had actually captured the two crooks in her selfie!  Tracking the men wasn’t tough and she got back her car- A classic example of how a selfie can save us! But all is not lways well with a selfie.  Just like there are two sides of the same coin, a selfie too has a good and bad side attached to it. Just a few years back before s...
