"Approach Road To Nanganallur Subway" Is It One Way Or Dead Way
If you are planning to hold a cross country race, then you don't have to look anywhere else. You need not take the pains of constructing a race track also. You just have to visit College Road, which is the approach road to the Nanganallur Subway from Nanganallur Markek.. It has got all the ingredients for a cross country race course. It is very sad that this road has not seen its day light for over a decade.
Though nobody used this in the past as everybody used the other road which connects Nanganallur Subway from the Market, suddenly this has come into limelight thanks to the traffic police. They have made college road as a one way for vehicles plying from Nanganallur Market to the Subway and the other road for the vehicles coming into Nanganallur.
Of course, the Autowallas can take any whichever road they want as they seem to be exceptions to all city traffic rules... Though we are proud to be living in this place, they are certain basic infrastructure which the municipal authorities have to take care off... In fact nobody seems to be bothered about the condition of the college road as they drive pass that every day in and day out...
People awareness about the basic infrastructure is at the lowest ebb in Nanganallur as there seem to be not even a single sign of protest about the conditions.
Nanganallurwasies, lets do something and help the place to come up of age!!!

Indians What We Achieved
You must be wondering why this is no way connected with topics "in the womb"... This has nothing to do with Nanganallur that's why? Just came across this and wanted to share it with you guys out there... Some of the facts about Indians were recently published in one of the German Magazines that deals with World History and here they are...
38% of Doctors in America are Indians.
12% of Scientists in America are Indians.
36% of NASA employees are Indians.
34% of MICROSOFT employees are Indians
28% of IBM employees are Indians
17% of INTEL employees are Indians
13% of XEROX employees are Indians
Interesting isn"t?
But there are many more facts which are not known to people about India and Indians.... We Indians always have the uncanny habit of degrading ourselves without looking into what we have achieved... Such facts should be publicized prominently and Indians should be made proud of what we had achieved and what's at store in the years to come. Days are not far off when we Indians, whether in India or otherwise, will be a dominant force to reckon with if not already...
Some more facts...
Grammar constitutes one of India's greatest contributions to Western philology.
Panini, the Sanskrit grammarian, who lived between 750 and 500 BC, was the first to compose formal grammar through his Astadhyai
Varanasi, also known as Benares, was called "the ancient city" when Lord Buddha visited it in 500 B.C.E, and is the oldest, continuously inhabited city in the world today?
India never invaded any country in her last 10000 years of history.
The World's first university was established in Takshashila in 700BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century BC was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education.
Sanskrit is the mother of all the European languages. Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer software
Jai Hind

"Looks Are Deceptive" The Nanganallur Way
Guys, Beware.. I was as usual browsing the idiot box last night at around 10 pm when I stumbled upon a program in Vijay TV called "Kuttramâ". Suddenly the place shown on the TV looked familiar. Yes, you guessed it right, it was Nanganallur... This program, I guess, is a reality show which narrates the crime as it happened. Yesterday's program was all about a well educated guy who was engaged in stealing laptops and caught finally by the Police with the help of "Friends of Police"...
It all started like this...
Srinivasan, a resident of Nanganallur had given an advertisement in the local newspaper for selling his laptop. A guy claiming himself as Sekar called Srinivasan and told him that he is running a software company and would like to buy the laptop Srinivasan gave his address and asked the guy to come to his place for inspection of the laptop. Sekar didn't turn up on any of the times he promised to come and suddenly turned up one fine day with one more guy when Srinivasan was not around...
Sekar told Srinivasan's brother that he had spoken to Srinivasan regarding buying of the laptop and would like to look at the laptop... Srinivasan's brother showed him the laptop and Sekar told him that he is buying the laptop for one of his friends and wanted to take it out and show it to his friend... Srivivasan's brother hesitated initially but later on allowed Sekar to take the laptop as Sekar asked the person accompanying him to stay at Srinivasan's residence till he is back... The guy at Srinivasan Residence somehow escaped and Sekar didn't turn up at all... Realizing that he has lost his laptop Srinivasan gave a police compliant and, to his surprise, he was told by the Police that the same is happening in and around Nanganallur for some time and they are trying to nap the criminal...
The police devised a plan to nab the guy and asked "Friends of Police" to give ads in the local newspaper for the sale of laptop.. Bingo...The guy fell in the trap and was caught by the Police... His real name was Krishna and he is from Mangalore, a well educated guy who speaks 6 languages altogether... He looked pretty decent to me
and doesn't look like a criminal at all...
"Looks Are Deceptive" Beware Guys...
