Chidam SPEAKS!

              We have reached a point where smartphones have become a integral part of our life. Life hardly seems to move on when we restrict ourselves from using them even for at-least one day. They have blended into our lives. Applications have made our life much simpler that if you own a smartphone, you own a camera, a torch, a alarm clock, and even much more. This is the reason why we are not able to live a life without them. Okay, now let's ask ourselves, are these smartphones killing us? The answer to this question, certainly is yes. Not only emotionally, they are killing people physically too. Yes, not only smartphones, a ordinary mobile phone is killing people. You may ask how a phone can kill someone, but the truth is  that there has been a considerable number of deaths around the world that has been caused due to the usage of mobile phone while it  is being charged.                For i...

                  Recently, I found a lot of photos and messages regarding the threat to our eyes while we use the mobile phones at night in the dark. To find the truthiness behind these posts, I surfed the internet regarding this and found that it was true.                      A Chinese man was texting his girlfriend constantly for about six hours in the dark. The next morning what he experienced was strange. He nearly went blind. But with the recent advancement in the Ophthalmology, his eye sight was saved from blindness. Doctors say that what he experienced was retinal detachment, a condition which is mostly experience by the age of 50 to 75. It is a state where the retina (a sensitive layer behind the eye that reads light) detaches itself from the blood vessel that supplies it with oxygen and nutrients. Retinal detachment can also be caused by direct injury to the eyes. The ret...

For those of you who missed yesterday's match between India and Bangladesh, I would say that you certainly missed a terrific horror movie, that would have let goosebumps occur all over your body. Yes! It was India who emerged victorious after a nail biting last over from Hardik Pandya. People with weak heart would have even succumbed while seeing the final over of the match. Well done Bangladesh         Bangladesh has emerged into a world class cricket team with most of its players, all rounders. Remember the 2007 world cup when India lost to Bangladesh in the group stage creating a wide outspread of violence all over India? During that time, Bangladesh was not a well rated team as it is now. Only a few good players were available in their side. But now, starting from the opener Tamim Iqbal to Mushfiqur. all the players are playing world class cricket like their counterparts India, Australia, etc proving that they are also one of the best cricketing teams i...

Generally youngsters hate advice from their parents or elders. But when the same is offered by film stars, they are keen on following them. Here is the list of some of the famous tamil dialogues that inspires you to the core. Its interesting to see that most of these dialogues comes from the Super star RAJINIKANTH. Now I understand why he is liked by many people. 1. Padaiyappa        This is a very famous dialogue from the film "Padaiyappa". No matter how strong your enemy is, you will win because you have the support of GOD which your enemy doesn't have. Very inspiring one that I decided to put it first on the list. It means that god is always by your side 2. Basha         The second one is from the film "Basha", where Rajinikanth portrays the image of a don in Mumbai. This dialogue inspires anyone who is in the great suffering of life. It can bring back the lost hope and encourage you to move forward in life. Eve...

Recently I had a chance to attend one of meetings addressed by the Correspondent of the Golden Gates Matriculation school and Emerald Valley Public school, Salem, Mrs. Meena Sethu. She was so calm and patient even when the projector was not working properly. Just before she started her speech, I had no idea that I going to listen to one of the best lecture of my life. I was just taken aback by the initiatives that she is indulged in, to restore nature to its original form. Her opinion about worshipping "Maariamman", the god of rains, was mind blowing. This is what she had to say about worshipping "Maariamman"               In tamil, Maari means rain and Maariamman means God of rain. Maariamman is a very famous god in south India, especially Tamil Nadu, where people worship the idol of the rain god with utmost sincerity and respect. They used to do lot of "Nerthikandans" (meaning Ritual duty) to Maariamman and spend a lot for the temple's infrastr...

The most serious issue threatening India, especially Delhi, is Dengue fever. In this year, so far 5,982 cases have been reported in Delhi alone and this is major outbreak in the last six years. Though the government has still not used the word epidemic, doctors have confirmed that it is an epidemic. An epidemic is a rapid spread of a particular infectious disease among a large group of people in a short span of time usually two or three weeks. So far 33 people have died in this year in Delhi due to dengue.            The mosquito that causes dengue is the female Aedes aegypti mosquito. An Aedes mosquito can lay eggs 3 times in its lifetime and each time it lays about 100 eggs. Each egg grows into a larva in less than one day and the larva grows into a pupa in about three to four days. Finally the pupa grows into a mosquito in about two days. After the mosquito has grown, it bites a person and lays the eggs and the cycle will continue. When the mosquit...

This was the post that I wanted to create a long before. Tiruchirappalli, also called as Trichy is a district in the center of Tamil Nadu and also the former capital (in the name of Woraiyur) of the Chola kingdom. Trichy has a total area of 96.9 sq.km with a population of around 8 lakhs. Today I would like to share about some of the entertainment spots in trichy where you can spend your time leisurely with your family. I will list out one by one. 1. Malaikottai Uchi Pillaiyar Kovil           Whenever someone thinks about Trichy, the image that immediately comes to their mind will be the Malaikottai, also called as Rockfort. Trichy derives its name Rockfort city from this temple. The exquisite view of the whole Trichy city that one can see while standing on top of the hillock near the Uchi Pillaiyar sanathi, makes one feel astonished and amazed. On one direction, one could the see the magnificent river Cauvery streaming across the city. Even though Cauv...
