I was Youtubing for famous IR songs and got hold of this song from the movie Ooru Vittu Ooru Vandhu , song name Sorgame Endraaalum! Immediately wanted to pen down some random thoughts.
Quite often, you find this song being used to describe how how much we miss our home land, esp for the ones who live across the sea. I wanted to take a small diversion and present from a statistical point of view, we are better off compared to cities across the world on all important counts. It has been almost 2 decades since this song came, as much as the song is fresh, so is our wonderful motherland, Tamil Nadu. I myself used to whine about our city, roads, water, traffic, infrastructure, government, law and order etc, but hold on..read further to find out how much we are ahead and better.
I stumbled upon this website : http://www.worst-city.com/ and I just thought it would be good to couple the Youtube song + some statistics. The irony is that, the developed nations seems to have the same problem as we do but on a different scale. Take for example, Traffic , every now and then you see people whining and crying about roads, traffic, their dream to see 4/6/8 lane roads where they can take their girl ona convertible at 110s, choking at the amount og pollution, gas that emanates during traffic jams etc..Every one of us would been held up in a traffic jam, may be a worse one and we curse everything at that juncture starting from Aaandava, yaar muhathule muzicheeno all the way upto andha kadankaran nasamapoha, vandi ye ethitu nikamaporane. Take a snapshot of this, In Sao Paulo, this June, there was a traffic jam, which would even qualify into the guiness books as the worst one..Traffic was stand still upto a distance of 182 Miles or 293 Kms :O WTF Imagine how would it look if starting from Kathipara you had just cars, bikes, buses, people, cattles all lined up in “doggy” style position stretching all the way upto say roughly Trichy ..
Residents of Sao Paolo do amazing things in their cars. They shave. They apply their makeup. They chat up the girl or guy in the neighboring car and make dates. They read. They learn foreign languages. They watch DVDs. Paulistas do all these things because they have no choice; the city’s crippling traffic problem forces them to spend a major proportion of their lives inching their way through gridlock.

So much hue and cry is being raised about this whole man made global warming tamasha , though it is a propaganda by Gore Like intellectual hypocrties, it really holds true in China` Linfen Province. Arsenic contaminated water, clouds of smoke dust and coal etc..Imagine how it would feel to swallow drak cloud of friggin ash! Look at this poor fellow..his face speaks!
China has 16 of the worlds 20 most polluted places!! I would say Neyveli as a greenery heaven compared to some of Chinas industrial areas.
