But we never met when we were close. Now we have travelled 14,000 KM to meet each-other.
I’ve been following Senthil and been inspired by his community build activity and his social cause of giving back to the society.
But came to know more about his skills and accomplishments. I’m simply wowed and you have made my day Dude.
Let’s together make Madurai a vibrant Tech & Entrepreneurship HUB!!
Starting he day at Starbucks!!! This will be my virtual office for the day!!
This is the first Pongal in our new Home!! I’m out of country and it’s all single handily done by Yamuna!!!
Missing the sweetness of Pongal and Home!!
Landed at London Heathrow airport for transit!!! Next is another 12 hour flight to SFO!!!
These are bits of pre 1990’s school kids!! These items are mostly sold by granny’s on a plate or on a handcart near the school entrance!!
Also, available with small petty shops!! There native bits lost patronage during the late 90’s as kids & parents considered them unhygienic and not so fashionable to eat them!!
Yesterday I was thrilled to see this in a Start Hotel’s buffet menu!! These were the first items I picked as it gets me lots of nostalgic memories!!
Items on the plate are;
Went to a nearby Vodafone store at Madurai to Enquire about roaming tariff and plans for a month.
Pathetic thing is the Customer Support Executive was not aware of the plans and packages. With the help of the store manager he got be a leaflet which had the plans.
The manager was very pessimistic to enable the plan and he advised the executive to take a written declaration for enabling the plan.
I agreed and started writing the declaration and by the time there was to & foe discussion between the executives. An executive sitting on the next counter confused with a plan which was not existing.
Finally the guy assisting me got scared and asked me to do it in Chennai.
I was worried about the pathetic state of support and knowledge of support executives even with private institutions.
They lack information, intention to assist and they are indecisive. Thought I lost time, I was at least happy that he didn’t screw up.
The the same day I checked at Vodafone website and within a minute I enabled the plan. It was self explanatory and DIY method. Enabled my plan in 3 easy steps.
I see really a sad future for these (un)professionals as they are becoming redundant as machines and technologies are going to take their positions.
Planning to do a canvas painting of this picture!!! Planning to hang it in my bedroom!!
Any reference would be appreciated!!!
Since, Yamuna joined me in Madurai we started buying Vegetables from weekly street market.
For a house of 3, it costs us less than ₹200 a week. We tried buying the same quantity of vegetables in a supermarket and it cost us ₹600.
Normally we shop at Bypass Road market and we have shops put in the entrance of supermarket. Once we got 3 lemons for ₹5 from a lady who was selling in the entrance of Nilgiris Supermarket. Out of curiosity I checked for the price of lemon at Nilgiris and the cost was ₹5 per lemon.
Usually these markets are set by nearby villagers who come to Madurai to sell their produce. Mostly they were organic, but over the time people have started buying from wholesale market and sell in these markets.
This is one sad aspect, but otherwise I prefer these markets because;
