Defining the moments of Chennai seems to be the strong subject making rounds among the online enthusiasts of Chennai .
How this idea came out?
Ganesh a Chennai blogger and a student of SVCE college was clicking photos in his cyber shot camera on 23 Oct'07. Then there came out a pep talk with his friend Bhargav Ramakrishnan whether it will be cool if all the people of Chennai clicked at the same time. Then joining the talk was their friend Mahen, a blogger cum photographer. A creative talk by three young minds resulted in the birth of the website by name 311pm.com
This is an invite to every Chennaiite to spare a second, at exactly 03:11 PM, on 3/11/07. Just stop whatever it is that you are doing and click, shoot, snap, capture or photograph that moment, just hold that one instant frozen in a picture and upload the same in the 03:11 PM flickr pool. If you are finding any difficulty just email your photograph to ganeshapp@gmail
This is not a competition, it may or may not help charity, it will not prevent global warming, you will gain no medals or no certificates.
But it may indirectly be responsible for the improvement of Chennai city, a lesson to someone, more information to tourists, a good cause to the society, et la..
A visit to the 311pm.com will give guidance on how to synchronize your watch, although even if you are averse of wearing a wrist watch like me, just make sure your cell phone is in sync with the time for the simultaneous capture of the city. Heard that due to the arrival of cellphones there is a drop in sales of watches and alarm clocks.

The traditional "kamatchi vilakku " handed over to the bride.
What a wonderful smile da mapillai !!
The mapillai smiles all way walking to the stage, while the bride has to ensure that the lamp is well balanced on the brass plate. While walking she has to make sure that the light is still burning.
Is this task the training basics for a successful woman.
With new dreams, new hopes, new aspirations and a desire to achieve new horizons
the journey towards the success starts.
Best wishes to you man.
Myself with Thiyagu.
A recall to those college days..
Ramesh and Thiyagu were there together in the same bench during our college days. i.e. in the year 1993- 1996. The chappathi and poori with the tasty potato poriyal that Thiyagu brings to college is a delicacy to everyone during the morning break. Although the food is meant for his lunch, all guys are tied up with the tasty chappathy, of course it is ensured that there is no chappathy left in his tiffin box for the lunch. The reason for this trouble to Thiyagu is the super taste of the food made with love by his mummy. We people still speak of the chappathy chapter whenever we meet. Of course one of our guys was named with Chappathy since he got caught while he was munching one while our RTK sir's class was going on.

Happened to click my tot Master.Surya getting a haircut.
This is the place where I frequent for hair cut for the past many years.
Charges - Rs.20.
Haircut charges for adults - Rs.30 (US $0.75)
Although the usual fees for consulting a doctor is Rs.25 (around here) the charges towards a hair cut for an adult is Rs.30.
See the logic here,
A doctor incurs a heavy expenditure towards his education, invests in a clinic and then practises his profession.
A barber practises from his childhood, then invests for his shop at a younger age and does service to more heads than that performed by the doctor.
Doctors are more here than the number of barbers. The barber caters to more number of people and earns more.
What a noble barber? - A high paying profession with good customer base. Remember he caters to 4 people from my family.
