Dr. Sekhar's Dosa - New Thippasandra

Me and my roomie had dinner at Dr. Sekhar's Dosa in New Thippasanadra. This hotel was opening hardly a month before and when we went there at 9.15 PM (approx) it was full (though we got a table for us). I was wondering about the bachelors in bangalore (icluding me) who are motivating guys to become entrepreneurs ( hotel business). I am not sure if the same would click in chennai. So enjoyign the last few days in Bangalore...

Chennai - Air Sahara - DELAYED

I was annoyed to see the flight delays. I could accept delays in landing due to improper planning in India, but the difference in STD (Scheduled time of Departure) and ETD ( Estimated Time if Departure) of the Indian Domestic flights would be more. Yesterday my sister was supposed to fly by Air Sahara evening flight from Bangalore to Chennai. She did not notice the flight delay until I saw that and informed her. When I asked about the delay in the ticketing counter, the female tehre said I have to check it up in the boarding counter if they could endorse the ticket in any earlier Jet Airways flight provided there should be quota availability.
Now that Air Sahara is taken over by Jet tehy have few seats in the next Jet Airways flight if the are any delays in Air Sahara. This is good.
So I managed to get my sister's ticket endorsed in a Jet Airways flight. But still we had 2 hrs to spend..so we had a burger,samosa and a trpoical Ice berg cold coffee at the coffee day outlet in the airport and had a small walk.

Crocodile Park - Chennai

Been to chennai last weekend. I was really feeling bored on Sunday and jus tried to go to Adyar by Bike. The weather was good so I enjoyed the ride in my bro's Super Splendor. My nostalgic memories made me turn towards Thiruvanmiyur.
During the final year of my college days me along with few of my friends used to go for swimming at the WATER PALACE in Thiruvanmiyur. I remebered those good old days and wanted to find teh way to the pool again. Not being able to find it, I jus drove staring to teh ECR road..stopped at the provate beach near Uthandi for few mins and again at Muttukadu for few mins. I was feeling bored to go for boating alone and so I decided to go ahead and was happy to see the board saying 'Crocodile Park 3kms'..being a wild life enthusiast I went there and saw soem different types of Crocodiles. Also one interesting this is that I also saw how the venom is taken from snake which is used as the medicine for Sanke bites.
Saw king cobras and other indian varities of Snakes. I felt it is a very good place for the young children and will kindle their interests for knowledge on the wild life.
The park was not crowded and was able to spend 45 mins there.
Also, they said that the venom from the snake would be taken only once in a week and if they try to take for the second time , it would hurt their tootha nd the snakes would not be able to eat their food[live rats]. These snakes are fed during night times as they do not take their food when people are around. I saw some rats[alive] being packed fro the sankes' dinner.
After the movie sorpion king I saw many scorpions at one stretch there in the crocodile park.

Are Brahmins Dalits today ?

Increasing resevation for OBCs..Forward Castes ( once most privileged gang) are now suffering due the reservation policies in India. The govt. instead of developing the infrasturcture and providing more facilities so that the OBCs could compete equally with the other people just makes them lazy by introducing reservations. In city or the urban areas where the OBCs and the other castes have equal opportunity this reservations just slaps hard on the OFCs (othe Forward Castes).

A FC guy though scoring higher marks would no be able to make it to the top govt. institution for his preferred subject because of reservation.

Govt. can provide more scholarship and encourage OBCs by other means without pusing the FCs backaward.
