Dhanvanthri Temple Coimbatore-Wikimapia

Someone named new, wanted to know where Dhanvanthri temple was in Coimbatore in the comments section of another post. As a former resident of Coimbatore and top contributors in Wikimapia ;) (though, sadly the descriptions don’t show my name. ) , I thought I’d post a picture from Wikimapia to make things easy for this person. (Who BTW could have used his/her real name.)

Here’s the pic:

I have marked out a few landmarks to make the process of locating the temple easy. However, you will have to ask locals for directions once you are close enough. (I am not going to say third left and then second right and all that.)

Stock Markets Crash-…Like my Career Graph.

This was all over the News Channels. The Sensex and nifty had lost points. Meaning that investors in stocks had lost money and a lot of money at that. Now I am not qualified to talk about stock markets as I know very little about economics, but the market graph resembles my career graph.

Atleast here, the scale is on the positive axis. Mine goes into the negative axis. (Starts at around 1.0 and steadily loses ground)

However, I have to make one comment whether people like it or not. Everyone on TV was saying that the Govt. must take steps and make sure that small investors don’t lose money. WTF ? The Govt. doesn’t ask you to invest in stocks. Even the stocks say “subject to risk”. When you want to become rich overnight, you have to take risks and at times it doesn’t pay off. Ypu have every right to feel bad and my sympathies with everyone who lost money. It’s hard to make money these days and losing money you thought you had is a bad sinking feeling. However, don’t blame it on the Government.

Doctor No ??

So I was having my exams and as always, I switched on the TV while I was having my food to browse through channels to find out whats going on in the world around me. (Normally I am oblivious to the happenings around me. I sleep a lot and when I wake up, things have changed!! I hate that.) So I am flipping through channels, click click….click, and I heard a voice I have come to know as the falsely heightened voice of none other than the famous Arnab Goswami. A false sense of excitement in his voice to woo viewers.

 

Whats the issue about ? Some Medical college students striking for some reason…. (Hey I was flipping through channels. So don’t blame me if I don’t know what exactly was going on.) Excerpts from the interview:

 

MSR:We dont think this is right……(About the doctors being forced to do one yer compulsory rural service.)

A  G:  Mr. MSR You are saying that you are against this one year rural service. If the Government decides to give you a job in AIMS instead of the rural job with twenty thousand rupees a month, guaranteed, then would you still strike ?

MSK: ???? (Doesn’t know what to say.)

All I want to ask Arnab is How many years of rural reporting have you done ?.  How many villages have you been to in India addressing the issues of the people. All you fagots care about is masala news. Who kissed who in Bollywood and what its implications are on the country!! If the Government was to say that no journalist can become a TV reporter without five years in rural reporting, would you agree to it ? Jackass!! If every television channel was told, that they have to have one reporter in every village, in order to be invited to press conferences, would you agree to that as Editor-in-Brief TIMES NOW ? Do you know how difficult it is to do a medical course you dumb ass? Why didn’t you try ? All you wanted to talk of was which celebrity got a boob job on TV didn’t you ? These guys sweat it out for 5 years and they have every right to earn more than you do. So buzz off and seriously, get a job man!! You clearly suck at this.

Mujhse Shadi Karoge, Dr Ramadoss!

Whats the issue ? “One year’s  compulsory rural service based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission, who recommended public service mandatory for all graduates from government medical colleges. ” You crazy old freaks. You take our fees and run colleges. You bloody swindle money in the process. Capitation fees, dues. Bloody hell, you buy contraceptives with our fees. And you say we have to compulsorily serve in rural areas ?? Guys on the planning commission, seriously, you too buzz off!!

Why isn’t the same imposed on IIT and IIM graduates ? How many IIT guys go into research anyway ? Why don’t you introduce a clause saying every IIT graduate will have to do R&D for an year in Govt. centres or better still work in rural areas to sort out problems there. I am sure they will accept your proposal.  Evereyone wants to make a quick buck in today’s world. Thats all. Why should doctors alone be punished ?
