More Challenges for the Physically Challenged

As I was travelling on the Old Mahabalipuram Road, oh no its not OMR anymore, it is IT- Corridor Road, horseshit I’m wrong again, it is IT Highway, may be I’m wrong again it is Rajiv Gandhi road, Jesus Christ, I believe I’m right this time. It is not only this road got many names in Chennai, Mount Road alias Anna salai, kamaraj salai or Beach road and many more, at this rate a single road will have multiple post codes in the future. I’m not kidding. Anyways I would like to call this road conventionally as OMR which makes lot sense.

During the construction of this OMR, goddamm, I thought its going to be 4 liners each side, as it has come to completion now, it stood to 21/2 liner at most places and 3 liner at other places, as median takes rest of space, as wide as a liner, worlds widest median, with no foot path for the pedestrians and no separate sideway for cyclers to encourage cyclers as provided in any international standard roads, even after witnessing the fuel shortage, TNRDC has taken no steps to encourage neither pedestrians nor cyclers. Worst part is cyclers has to travel along with other motorized vehicles risking there life, in most of the place of OMR, and don’t forget OMR is called as a highway built with international standards.

Median has literally forced all the vehicles to travel, at least a couple of kilometers before they take a U turn, I don’t read any sensible note on this, but still, cant expect more from these morons. For pedestrians there are couple of over bridges at some calculated distance, at deserted areas, I don’t understand what the purpose of this over bridge is?, is this for the pedestrians convenient? TNDRC over bridges at deserted areas will be deserted too, and don’t blame the poor pedestrians for not utilizing your functionality, as it is of more strain to them. Make some sensible decisions morons, use your brains and not kidneys, probably that’s the reason why your ideas stinks.

The more sarcastic part is how a physically challenged person is gonna cross the road, it is challenging question to TNRDC, lets not ridicule this (TNRDC) handicappers any more, I’m not kidding, I have seen many physically challenged people literally crawling to cross the roads, as they are unable to crawl that long to reach the over bridge or even to climb the over bridge, so they dare to challenge their lives in front of speeding vehicle. And we know for our IT professionals, they are humans in Onsite and beasts while on offshore. They care about Lane disciple onsite, offshore they give a shit to it. They don’t have time to worry for this crawlers, what if even if they are hit dead, India has more than a billion population, we can still manage. Goodos to TNRDC and ministry of Highways for joining their hands with Ministry of Health for drawing a smart way to bring down the population by challenging the lives of Physically challenged and Pedestrians.

This writing is not for making fun, or just for ridiculing someone, please think it over, you may have one person from your knows who may be pedestrian or Physically challenged on this OMR. I definitely believe that you don’t want to risk their life, unless you are a moron.

Economic Growth

After the 61years of independence where are we standing on the grounds of economic standards, people who say that we are self sustained, and we have a grown a lot on the economic grounds I want them to think again, I was surprised to watch in one of the special programs hosted on the Independence day, the pride that today’s youth have on the growth of economic standards is scaring me, rather it turns out to be a nightmare to the country. Below are the points that were fired to support for there views.

1) Obsolete of “No vacancy” because of globalization, even a fresher gets a on today’s market.
2) Luxurious life since the availability of international brands
3) Average income exceeding 15k per month and so on

I was stunned to see the youngsters living in such an illusionary world, let’s see the reality in the points they have registered,

Anyone who steps in Chennai, can find a job easily, unless and until he is the laziest creature in the world, or a self respectful person, yes I mean it self respect, almost 60% to 80% of the Chennai sleeps during the day and works during night, I mean job in International call centers, night shifts are not new to our community, right from the stone age there are people who were doing night shifts, to safe guard the sleeping persons from wild animals and enemies. But our youngsters are burning their midnight oil to burn their dreams, this is the worst suicide I’ve ever come across and in many places where both work in IT or ITES industry, it turns out to be an homicide which ultimately leads to genocides. Don’t say that they are working hard to safe guard the country or their families or themselves at least but the reality is they are actually ruining all. For a hand full of salary the youngsters dream is buried forever, with this lump sum amount, and globalization what ever product or goods the youngster buys happens to be an international brand, obviously he works for international clients, the normal cotton shirt which costs around 300 to 500 INR max, is now costing him 1500 INR min for the brand he wish to buy, goodos to the globalization and yes there is an economic growth which enabled him to spend thrice of what the actual price is. In many case the initial salary of a youngster earns is twice or thrice his/her father’s salary, but actually not, father’s salary is broken into bits and pieces like allowances, dividends and pension. Any which ways who cares for long term benefit, He is ready to buy a property by offering twice or thrice the actual price, since there is huge money without future benefits he thinks he can afford too, but unfortunately he regrets half way down, but thanks to the international banks for immediate help, to give another illusion of support, with pride that he owns a property now, sarcastically it lasts only for a near future, by the time he closes loan, he owns only a jalopy. Same thing goes with the plans of owning a vehicle, no Indian car suits his/her need, the new economic policies and globalization has already seized the Indian automobile industry, he/she can buy a foreign car or an Indian car manufactured with a foreign collaboration, profiting multi national companies, again thanks to international banks for supporting our youngster now he can buy car, but owns a jalopy.

From inner wears to outer wears, from car to property, from phone to home appliances what ever he/she buys in India is not from an Indian company, whatever he earned the lion share, probably the whole share is given to the international giants again. Thanks to globalization.

Where is the economic growth to India? I can see only western countries growth on Indian’s hard work and their self esteem
.
It is not only with ITES, It is 100% applicable to software engineers as well, the only difference between them and call center executives are their shift timings, unfortunately not all times. Whatever paid to our youngsters is been taken back through life style they live and through the globalization imposed on them. In today’s market their buying power is huge to buy any products or goods by paying twice or thrice more then the actual price, if this trend continues the trend of assassinating farmers, one meal price will be astronomically huge and their buying power will just look like an atom when compared.

If that is called as an economic growth, yes we are on its way.
