Who is a lame duck?
Can we say "those who are aggressive and chippy are only efficient and dynamic and others as lame duck?"
The recent Parliament elections have proposed a strong negative answer for this question. "NO".
Before elections ,the opposition parties joining hands with the media people depicted Dr.singh as the weakest Prime Minister everbefore.But Manmohan, a pragmatic man dint take their comments seriously.The election results only replied those people.
To be efficient and successful what we need is not agression but only firmness and goodness in our actions.What we are going to do for public is only poignant than addressing a gathering agressively and stirring their emotions.
Still you cant believe People will vote for emotions.Its only your action that sounds.

THE MOST WANTED !!!!
"Mahi",this is how the most wanted is fondly called!!!.You could have got about whom i'm talking.Its none other the charismatic captain of our cricket team, MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI.The Ranchi express have become a year older by this Jul 7th..
Mahi remains cool always(Despite losing Key matches too :{).His body language tells a lot.He has plumped for nearly 20 brands and he is the costliest bargain of the recent IPL where Super kings got a damn defeat.
Belated B'DAY wishes. Man!!! come back to form soon.Awating your boundaries.

Holiday Package!!!!
Poompuhar referred as ,Kaveripoompattinam in Silapadikaram,is one of the favourite hangouts for my friends.whenever we tour there, we can call up the past glories and tales of Chola kingdom.Situated at the estuary of River Kaveri, Poompuhar was an ancient port of the Cholas.The city has got many relics and statues belonging to Cholo era and after.
There are frequent references to this city in our ancient Tamil literature.The famous rulers of Chola dynasty like Sembiyan, Manuneethi Cholan and Karikala Cholan who carried myths with them, added to the glory of Poompuhar town. Poompuhar grew a great during the reign of Karikala Cholan. He conquered territories up to the Himalayas and made a pass into China through the Himalayas. On his return Karikala Cholan brought back the monuments and gifts like the korrappanda, presented by the Vajra king, the Pattimandabam by the Magatha King and the Thoranavayil by the Avanthi King. These were rulers who were defeated by Karikala Cholan and these items were exhibited them at Poompuhar.
Cool and shady river banks with trees and dense foliage, sacred passages from temples to the river for Gods to come and bathe, and the ringed wells on the fringes of the town were salient features of the town planning that have been noted during excavations. The town had a compound wall engraved with tiger emblem.
The gorgeous Silapadikara Art gallery has got a seven tiered building of great sculptural value.The beach is also beautiful and instinctive.Poompuhar,its not just a hangout mere to enjoy but we can have pleasant remembrance about our erstwhile dynasties , their culture and life styles.
The Sculptures and statues narrated Silapadikaram in a better way. Puhar,interesting holiday package indeed.

VERDICT OF MY(D) PEOPLE
Manishankar Iyer ,the former Panchayat Raj and petroleum minister ,has bcum a prominent loser of 2009-elections.Altho his party with its ally DMK has got a spectacular victory,Iyer lost.
He had won the Myladuthurai constituency three times in the past.He entered myladthurai in 1991 with the compaign "I'll strive hard to improve Myladthurai lyk Dubai" ,he did won dat time also.So far he has served as MP from Myladuthurai constituency for three times.But the things done to Myladthurai are comparably less.
As i was born n brought up in Myladthurai,I could possibly guess the reasons for his defeat.
* The bus terminal is unable to accomodate all the flowing buses.Probably for the last 6 or 7years, the people are crying for a larger bus depot. Thou the present bus terminal has been renovated recently ,its not upto the standards.Its just an eyewash 4 elections;(
*Since the town is based primarily on agriculture ,more imp shuld hav been paid to agri, which wasn't done.The sugar mill which is located in the realm of MYD is poorly maintained and its awaiting the date to get closed.
*Myladthurai railway junction is an important juncture as its connecting many cities lyk Kumbakonam,Trichy,Tanjore and Thiruvarur.But the incomplete broadways b/n CH and MYD for the past 4 yrs is a big head ache for the people(particularly myself).
*Underground drainage system which shld hav got a gud response frm the people was sworn bcaz the roads are left as such wit ups n downs after digging out.
No Govnt Engg/Medical/law/Architect college/Univ in n aroun the city.
*No remarkable achievements r made in the rapidly growing city when compared with other cities lyk Tanjore n Trichy...
*The main charge against Iyer is ,the residents of MYD can see him once in 5 yrs drng elections!!!!!!
Plainly saying ,MYD is rapidly developing bcaz of the private organisations and enterprises in the city. Efforts from govnt side are very meagre.
Being an union Cabinet Minister ,One can do a lot to his constituency which Iyer failed to accomplish. Instead he dint satisfy the basic amenities also.All these let the ppl of MYD down n they opt for the alternative choice ......Its not that ppl want to elect the person who won (O.S.Maniyan) this time,dey want to show deir frustration to Iyer.
Better luck next time to both Iyer n MYD ppl ,bcaz the city cant expect more frm an OPPOSTION party's MP!!!!!!!!!
