The Engineering Marvel in Guindy


Finally the grade separator in Kathipara, Guindy has been thrown open to traffic. Its really a wonderful piece of engineering and first of its kind in the whole of india. Gone are the days when traffic comes to a standstill in the Guindy junction with the vehicles turning their ignition off and wait patiently for the signal to turn green.

This grade separator has a butterfly style design and stands tall spreading its wings across the guindy circle. The six-lane flyover, constructed at a cost of Rs 250 crore at Kathipara junction, a gateway into the city that has been a traffic bottleneck for years, is expected to eliminate delays on account of signalized intersection and result in savings on vehicle operating cost and travel time. It will also help reduce fuel emissions that occur due to idling of vehicles at the junction.
Great Work...Chennai's asset..!!!

But if you consider his peers who do the same "decent" job, they somehow end up lower than him. WHY ? Again it is how he presents himself to the boss...Watch below some of his action. Never disputes the idea told by the Boss. Can always spot some think good in the Worst of ...

Ghasi - Hollywood Class

Film Ghassi was another film which really is a class apart from the run-of-a-mill movies. The entire film is shot within a Submarine and the plot is the Indo-Pak war under water in 1971. Viewer watch with bated breath as the story takes you through one sequence of attack after another. Its based on real incidents with how the Indian submarine inspite of losing its captain ,still fought valiantly. This is once in a blue moon kind of movie and matches the class of Hollywood mo vies frame by frame. Score: 4.25/5...extra credit for just the plot and the storyline.
