TN-Anti-Corruption

There is no difference in DMK and ADMK in corruption, they know how to do and how to come out of the problems if they face it. Everybody knows the Bribe cases against CM’s (as Sathyaraj said in MahaNadigan. the first job when CM sworn to arrest the previous CM).

As per an analysis, RTO, Collectorate, Thasildar office is the topper in Bribes. When I came back from UK, I planned to register my vehicle. I have not registered for 7 months so that I want to check with the broker to reduce my penalty for 7 months. After then I discussed with one of my friend for the procedure to do, came to know it is very simple however I have to dedicate 2 or 3 days for this.

My action starts on Tuesday to get an acknowledgement from Salem RTO for some paperwork. Surprisingly I have got the paper with out bribing there. In second day I went to Thiruchengode RTO to register my car. I gone with my car and spoke to RTO directly (NRI-nnu sonna mathipae thanipa), so that the process went faster as usual. He asked me to submit my papers and calculated the exact fine. He given quote that I how much I have to pay. I usually don’t bargain or bribe. So I have accepted and paid the money (got back 50p as a balance). As we have other work on that day I asked RTO to get my number ASAP. He asked me to wait for 2 hours, which was not possible, us to stay there. I told RTO that we are leaving would come back next day. He said okay and he asked to collect the paper after 1 week (my RC book, tax bill.etc). Around 6 pm I got a call from RTO and got my number. I amazed, surprised.... no words to say.

I know Amma is doing a great job in Anti-corruption; it may happen in somewhere else not directly to the Public. Though a great fan of DMK I happened to appreciate the way they have behaved and worked. After then I called RTO for thanking him and came to know that bribing was reduced in RTO office, as Anti-bribe raid 3 RTO-office(they got 1 crore in Trichy Office in oneday)

I hope TN is doing great also ADMK government, will reach No1 asap.

Kannadigas

When I entered Bangalore I found people talks several languages like tamil, kannada, hindi, telegu. However as most of the tamilians are living here Tamil may be the widely talking lanugage. At that time I felt that Kannada speaking people is very less and it is fadding in its way. After that I found most of the kannadigas knows minimum 3 languages(Kannada, Tamil, Hindi), this is becoz I believe the way they were brought up.

Yesterday there was a meeting in my team and all of them spoken in 4 languages(with out any problem). My Team Lead started the meeting in the Offcial language Englsh, continued and explaining tasks in Hindi, english, kannada and tamil too. I was able to understand any of these languages, with out any hassle(Learnt Kannada when I was staying with Kannadigas in UK).

I feel now Kannadigas knows more than Kannda also, which doesnt mean that Kannada is fadding and will die. Political Guys in Tamilnadu please dont go for any anti languages strike for your political popularity. Language is only the mediate to people for make understand their feelings to others. Kannadigas knows more languages as they meet different language talkng people day-by-day.

However Bangalore has lot of changes in the past 2 years, will be in the next blog that How bangalore is getting worser by people ....

Racism

It is nothing bad when we we Do Ctrl C & Ctrl V for the great post, Thanks for Cernar for posting such a great Mail. I have faced such issues in my life also.


Scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg
and London. White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a
black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess.
"Madam, what is the matter," the hostess asked. "You obviously do not
see it then?" she responded. "You placed me next to a black man. I do
not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me
an alternative seat." "Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost
all the places on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another
place is available." The Hostess went away and then came back a few
minutes later. "Madam, Just as I thought, there are no other
available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he
informed me that there is also a seat in the business class. All the
same, we still have one place in the first class." Before the woman
could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is not Usual for our
company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first
class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it
would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so
disgusting." She turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir,
if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits
you in first class." At that moment, the other passengers who were
shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded
