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...

U Ve Swaminatha Iyer - A Tribute

U Ve Swaminatha Iyer A TRIBUTE to The Patriarch of Tamil. This morning, let me talk about the TAMIZH THATHA, Sri UV Swaminatha Iyer. A tribute, on his 150th birth anniversary. The original texts of a number of literary works of the Sangam period (1st and 2nd Century AD) came to public notice only towards the end of the 19th century, when they appeared in print form. Until then, works such as Aymperum Kaappiyangal (the five great epics) – Silappathikaram, Manimekalai, Kundalakesi, Jeevaka Chintamani, and Valaiyapathi were in the form of palm leaf manuscripts in the possession of scores of families living across Tamilnadu and outside. They didn’t have the skill to read the manuscripts, and, therefore, did not realize the literary worth. The palm leafs were allowed to rot. The need to hunt for the missing palm leaf manuscripts and bring to light the hidden treasure of Tamil literature was deeply felt. Foremost among those who undertook this formidable task was Mahamahopadhyaya Uttamadhana...

Dr. MUTHULAKSHMI REDDY

Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy The road from Adyar Signal to Thiruvanmiyur signal (in Chennai) is called Lattice Bridge Road (LB Road); this English name was re-christened as Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy Road long back, but the old English name only prevails now. Who is this Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy? In the princely state of Pudukkottai there lived Narayanaswami Iyer who married a devadasi by name Chandramma - this marriage created a sensation that time.
