Nagar (near Madley Subway) Ph: , , mambalamtimes@yahoo.co.in Website: August 10-16, 2014 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SMS to consumers to give up LPG subsidy uncalled for Sir, Indian Oil Corporation has been soliciting its LPG consumers through SMS to join its campaign of Nation Building by giving up LPG subsidy. While it is true that the burden arising out of the subsidy is heavy, the Oil companies must first set their house in order and supply LPG cylinders at full cost to all its employees. Furthermore, the Ministry of Petroleum and Oil should not exempt MPs, MLAs and bureaucrats from the 12 subsidized cylinder caps per year to save on money. Oil companies must weed out the corruption from the system to ensure that subsidized cylinders do not find a way into the open market. This in itself would bring about a huge saving. Many households do not consume 12 cylinders and do not keep track of the consumption. Distributors take advantage of this and divert the balance subsidy into the open market and make a killing. If Aadhaar is made mandatory to avail subsidy, even if the distributors resort to divert the stocks, at least the subsidy amount would get credited to the consumers who do not use up the entire capped quantity. When there are so many ways to restrict the supply of subsidized cylinders and save money, the request of the oil companies to the common man, who is already hit hard by the spiraling prices of all essentials, is unjust and uncalled for. V. S. Jayaraman, 31, Motilal Street, West Mambalam Appeal to resume sale of Children s Health Mix to all Sir, I am a regular buyer of the special Health Mix Powder - Sathu Maavu for infants and children from Public Health Center (Lake View Road). When I went to buy the same this month I was surprised to note that the sale has been restricted only to children born in the health center and to outpatient kids registered with them. There was no explanation from the staff to the new rule which I initially presumed was due to shortage of stock. I appeal to the higher officials at PHC to resume sale of the health mix to everyone as it a good source of health food to infants and kids. P. S. Parthasarathy, F4, Suganthy Apartments, 22, Nara-simman Street, West Mambalam Sai bhajans on Saturdays Sai bhajans are conducted at 6.15 p.m on Saturdays in Sri Sathya Sai Organization, Ashok Nagar Samithi (143, 101 st Street, 15 th Sector, K.

Nagar) there are discourses on Sri Saisath Saritha at 6.30 p.m on Sundays in its premises. T. Thiruvalluvan (Founder) told Mambalam Times that mass spiritual healing is conducted at 7.30 p.m on Thursdays and Sundays. OBITUARY L. KALYANI L.

Dileep Kumar, an IT employee, has developed a mobile Android application My MTC to keep track of plying MTC buses through GPS tracking. Dileep said that MTC has not provided any mechanism for its commuters to keep track of bus schedules and delays in running time. It results in commuters waiting and spending anxious moments at bus stops. He said that his My MTC app would try to solve this problem as it is a crowd sourcing application developed to track real time bus locations for Chennai city buses. Bus commuters who download this app to their phones and use it can update the current location of their bus during their commute. The app would update this information into the server database and instantly notify any other user searching for the same bus number about its current location. App users can also setup a permanent notification alarm so that they don t have to process the request every time. The app also has a built-in offline database of bus stops, route maps and fares which he said would be updated regularly. Users would also get important news alerts about bus diversions, new buses, bus strikes and more. Android phone users can download the My MTC app from Google Play Store. Dileep resides in Thoraipakkam. His phone number is Women helpline 1091

4 Page 4 August 10-16, 2014 MAMBALAM TIMES: Ashok Nagar - K.K.Nagar Edition NO HOLDS BARRED By M.A. SADANAND DRESS CODE Good old Mahatma Gandhi earned his law degree from England where, during his studentship, he must have worn trousers which protected him from the biting cold that Mother Nature had decreed as nature s gift to the island. Gandhi s peregrinations took him to South Africa where equatorial climate made him progressively shed the British second skin of woollen clothes as his first foray into things Indian and the compulsive draw to the all pervasive dhoti of the Indian male. That, I believe, is one of the causes that impelled him to dump his practice and a few molar teeth in South Africa and return to good old India where the Sun god was and is the reigning climatic deity to make the Indian a warm fellow. The degrees of warmth is dependant on one s positioning relative to the equator! Back in India, Gandhi plunged into a war to free the country from all that is imperial western, one phase of which was the burning of all western clothes. Mounds of western clothes including, I assume, the choking legal practitioner s black gown were made a bonfire of. Gandhi, in one of the meetings, representing the Congress, with the Emperor in London, appeared swathed in a dhoti and shawl and his majesty could find no fault in his presentation of early freedom for India. In answer to a press correspondent on how, in just his thin dhoti and shawl, he managed to tackle the cold at the palace, Gandhi is reported to have said, His majesty wore enough clothes for both of us! Dhoti-wearing Gandhi and Co won us freedom to establish Sports Clubs and various venues of entertainment among other things. Yet, recently, a Sports Club in Chennai is reported to have allegedly indicated to a dhotiwearing Judge of the Madras High Court and his companion lawyer friends in dhoti who are members of the Club, that dhoti disqualifies them from entering, and refused them entry because of their sartorial offence! That Judges should not be members of any Club is my verdict on this nasty episode of dress code violation. Seclusion should be their credo!
