Where is the helmet..??

Come June 1, '07 all motor cycle riders in the city have an extra load to carry in their armoury and i.e. a HELMET and the pillion rider will not be spared either, he / she also has to wear one.


Thanks to the new law...!!!


Though this rule existed from long back, only now it will be implemented (hopefully..!!!). From tommorrow the new law will come into effect and slowly it will be implemented in other cities of the state.


Rules:


  • All two - wheel riders are to complsourily wear helmets.

  • All pillion riders should also wear helmets compulsorily.

  • No kid will be allowed to travel sitting in the petrol tank.

  • Kids are exempted from wearing the helmets provided they are below 6 and sit behind.

So, this is how the order of the day will be from tomorrow. Already there has been a last minute rush to purchase the same and I hope everyone sees the ISI symbol (Indian Standards Institute now renamed as Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS)) on the helmet before purchasing.


And I was told from July - wearing seat belts in car will also be made compulsory. Seeing all this, its really good sign for the city which has been recently voted as the cleanest metro in the country. Another feather in the cap.

Krd Rys (a.k.a Curd Rice)

For about a week now, at several strategic locations, there is a huge hoarding with a smiling Prakash Raj announcing Krd Rys, at an introductory offer of Rs.10 (against the intended price of Rs.16). In the picture, the Krd Rys is all white with touches of green and orange, and its container echoes the same colour scheme.

According to Business Line:
Hatsun Agro Product Ltd has come out with `Krd Rys'-- possibly the world's first branded curd rice offering. The company owns brands such as `Arokya' milk, `Komatha' milk, `Santosa' milk (targeted towards hotels and caterers) and `Arun Ice cream' and launched `Krd Rys' recently in some parts of Tamil Nadu.


`Krd Rys' will be prepared entirely by machines in the company's ISO and HACCP certified dairies. Hatsun operates four dairies at present in Salem, Kancheepuram, Nallur (Chennai) and Belgaum, Karnataka.

At an introductory price of Rs 10 for 275 gms, the curd rice is garnished with mustard, cashew nuts, raisin, green chillies, ginger, curry leaves and carrot.

The product will be available throughout the State in a few days, according to company officials. Details of the investment have not been disclosed but the thinking behind the launch of the product is evident.

So what do you guys think about this new product??

INDIAN CRICKET BOARD REFUSES RICHARD BRANSON'S VIRGIN AIRLINE SPONSORSHIP

Billionaire Virgin business group boss Richard Branson has offered to
sponsor the Indian cricket team currently reeling after a string of
tournament defeats.
However, the embattled Board of Control for Cricket of India (BCCI) has
politely refused the generous multi-million-pound offer by the cricket-mad
magnate.

As one harassed Board official snapped: "We can't have VIRGIN written on
our shirts, when we're getting screwed in every match"

Worst day of the summer !!

Today probably the worst day for me to feel the scorching heat. Normally, thanks to the AC's the office atmosphere is really a heaven. Today, my mother wanted to go sri perambathur and we started by 9 AM. Morning, it was fine as the heat was gradually increasing, once we reached the temple there it was pretty cool. I seriously admire the construction of these old temples, though the heat is more, its pretty chill inside.. how in the world did they manage to make such a construction or the God's doing the trick ;)

The problem started only when we were coming back, we started by 11.30 and at noon we were literally burnt in the weather, the car AC was at its maximum but still the heat could be felt inside and once we reached the city limits it got worse as we couldn't move freely and the heat was taking its toll. Eventually we couldn't travel anymore and had to settle in my aunt's house for the afternoon.

This truely is hot really hot, I wonder how people travel in this weather especially the two - wheelers..

What do you think about the weather chennaities..??
