New Mobile Phone

I had two mobile phones one the old Nokia and the other a Windows Phone, Microsoft Lumia 640. The Lumia was purchased in April 2015 and I wanted to purchase a new one with Android software.

First, I chose Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Plus, but unfortunately, the phone was selling as a special once-a-week Sale only. Then I browsed further and learnt that HUAWEI the Chinese giant has launched their latest phone. HONOR 6X, but this too was not on Open Sale. Suddenly, on 26th Feb 2017, I saw the announcement that this will be on open sale from 27th Feb ( Monday).

On 27th morning at 6-15AM, I opened Amazon website and within 5 minutes, booked my Honor 6X phone (Rs 12999.00 for 3GB / 32GB).

The very next day, on 28th Feb, Tuesday, the phone was delivered by 9 AM !!! I paid thru SBI debit card (Kilpauk branch), Then, at 11 AM, Vijaya and I went to 2nd Avenue, Besantnagar, JIO store, and got a 4G nano SIM. Free. The store-man inserted the Sim into the phone and said it would be activated by evening. The SIM's number would be chosen by the Computer at Reliance !



By 4 PM, it was activated. The number is 88387 52724. JIO. Then, I started using; informed everyone.

Anna Centenary Library, Kotturpuram

ANNA CENTENARY LIBARARY (அண்ணா நூற்றாண்டு நூலகம்) is a newly established State Library of Tamilnadu. It was declared open on 15th Sept 2010. Located in Kotturpuram, Chennai. This last Sunday, 1st May 2011, we hit upon the idea - we will go and see this library. No serious reason, but a sudden whiff of fancy. Vijaya, her old classmate and friend Mrs Prema, and I left house at 3-30PM. A bus upto Madhya Kailash, and an auto thereon, left us at the gates of this huge, beautiful building at 4 PM. From the outside, it was immensely impressive and imposing - maybe of 9 or 10 floors, exquisitely constructed. As we walked the lawns to reach the Main Entrance, the interest in us was bubbling. (Caution: Handbags, Cameras are strictly prohibited. Even waterbottles are not allowed inside the halls.) There is a 5-feet bronze statue of Mr CN Annadurai, in whose name and honour this library is built. This is the Tamilnadu Chief minister Mr M Karunanidhi's pet project and he, as usual, has ov...

M's sister Nallamuthu, learned English, went on to study in UK, became a Professor in QMC, Chennai, and later its Principal - the first Indian principal of QMC.
