Tamil? What Tamil?


With 'the custodians' of Tamil in power, it is not wrong to expect some improvement in the use of the language, at least in areas where the government is involved.
What we get to see are silly typos and English words.
The Aavin milk sachet above has the word 'homogenisedu' [no prizes for guessing the word] in Tamil and the Tamil word 'padhapaduthappatta' is spelt wrong.

What is Arya's photo from Naan Kadavul doing here? Nothing. Because I am just testing the various features of Flock browser.

Parking at Chennai Central


This is how the parking lot is 'maintained' at the Chennai Central railway station.
If you manage to get your two-wheeler in and park it without trouble, you deserve appreciation.
The space looks like a stone quarry with boulders and stones strewn around.
When you come back, it is quite a task to remember where you have parked your vehicle. And if some genius has parked his vehicle right behind yours, you have to get it out yourself. Forget about any help from the attendants.
If the Railways or the contractor cannot even level the ground, what sort of service are they supposed to be providing us?
