My experience with Indian Express

Coming from a place like kerala with all the inhibitions to talk in English made me to sit in one of the corners of the express from the date i joined in express as an intern till the 19th day of my internship.Coming to such a big IT hub my expectation was also high.Getting inspired from my near by friends and family i stepped into the express.Apart from me there are eight interns working over here.All are smart;confident enough to talk in any language and make use of their opportunity by talking to the expresso team,chatting,blogging with friends and so on.I wait as if some one will ask me something about me and the works we interns supposed to do.No one came and no assignments so far.It takes them 12 days to realize that i am an intern who should work for the team.Meanwhile the head of feature session talked with me and asked me to come up with a story idea on the very next time.I was clueless for a moment!no idea of any place expect the route from office to my PG hostel in vasanth nagar.I went straight to a nearby traffic man and asked about the auto-drivers excess demand and about fine,rules,regulation......and then went straight to shivajinagar traffic police commissioners office.Make a casual talk with him and returned to my hostel.

my experience never ends....will continue.

"Namma MTR"

If you wish to make every meal as the best meal, to feel the subtle flavors inherent in southern dishes, to have uncompromising food quality and cleanliness, to get a feeling of community neighborhood cafe; then don’t waste your precious time. Be at Mavalli Tiffins Room (commonly known as MTR) a pure vegetarian cuisine, pride for Bangalore for over 86 successful years situated at Lalbagh that serves typical South Indian breakfast to thousands of people every day. Started in the year 1924 by two brothers Yajnanarayana Maiya and Ganappayya Maiya as “Brahmins Coffee House” later changed its name to MTR when it was shifted to a wider premises in 1960.MTR is the first restaurant that introduced sterilization of kitchen items and takes up a bold risk with responsibility by introducing the system of opening up kitchen to the scrutiny of any customer interested. During its initial years its entrance was through kitchen. MTR at any point of time was not read to make compromise on its quality. The evidence is clearly depicted during emergency rule 1976 when the Government forced all restaurants to reduce the price; MTR closed down the shop bravely as they don’t want to compromise quality with any substitute. It also adds to its credit by inventing “ravaidli” when they face severe rice shortage .MTR was featured by Discovery Channel in series named “Globe Trekker”. People flock from different parts of the city waits in queue for tasting the delicious idlis, dosas and hot tea. It is also a safe zone for the morning joggers, tourists and pedestrians. It is also one of the leading purveyors of packaged foods. Now MTR becomes city’s popular eating spot. If you are a true connoisseur of food and is ready to sacrifice anything except quality then move to “Namma MTR”.

Be an active commmuter

No more bickering with auto-wallahs over fare,no more suffering his unfriendly attitude as he refuses to take you to your destination and no more fears of getting stringent glances from a lewd auto driver.Be a pro active commuter.Be bold enough to lodge a complaint against these day light robbery.Bangalore traffic police is alert enough to settle your complaints when the increasing number of complaints against auto drivers is at its hike.No need for the public to be feared,not definitely of auto drivers.Instead of succumbing to their demands inform the nearby police station or lodge a complaint to Bangalore traffic police online.

Beware !Silence: a killer within you.

Don't be silent ever in your life?if you are silent your opportunities will be grabbed away.Don't think of what you are going to say,do it,you can.Experience is the best teacher.It can teach you lessons with joy and sorrow. The one and Only post graduate intern in the Great New Indian Express office wasting her valuable time.It's only the smartness that counts with the journalism profession.It's takes me long fourteen days to open my mouth which keeps me away from all.To be left alone pains a lot.May be pioneers in this field may face the same fate as of mine.It's not the industries mistake.It's my mistake,the mistake of a typical keralite.

A phone from mom reduce stress of daughters

Feeling like there are too many pressures on you?losing sleep worrying about exam results and test papers.No need to worry make a call to your mom you will be relieved from all your stress.When you talks with your mother the hormone oxytocin promotes bonding between mother and child and has long been associated with close physical contact,said by scientists from the University of Wisconsin Madison recently.They conducted the research among girl childrens of age 6-12 years where they are given to solve maths question and to speak before strangers.The stressed children are then divided into three groups and asked the first to talk to their mom in phone,second through the phone provided by the researchers and rest were asked to watch an emotionally neutral movie for 75 minutes.The results find interesting where the stress of the first group reduced comparitively faster than the other two groups.as AGATHA CHRISTIE once said

nothing else in the world.It knows no
law,no pity,it dares all things and crushes
down remoselessly all that stands in its path."

Think before you hack of hack without thinking?

Internet was considered as one of the great innovations of this century which makes world into a 'Global Village'.Now the invention id being used as an instrument for sending threats to the users.Cyber threats in our country is looming large.Recession made the computer literate criminals to the electronic scams.In an era where everything from kitchen utensils to nuclear power plants runs on computers cyber crime has to be treated with prior importance.It has got the power to crack the country down.Now computers turned to be a free zone and safe heaven for cyber criminals.India has so far enacted Information and Technology Act(2000)and Information and Technology Act (2008) in which all laws are bailable.The use of internet even by school childrens,kids ,teenagers reinforce the goverment to ensure security.
WHAT IS RIGHT IN OUR CULTURE MAY NOT BE SAME IN OTHER CULTURE.Same happens here when the ITA is a global act.Its high time for the govt and the authorities responsible to take action so that India can be a better India in the nearbye future.

A common scene continuing still in the silicon valley,the IT Bangalore.It's is on it's way to celebrate the third anniversary from october2,2008 the date in which karnataka government banned smoking in public places.what changes had happened from the date of banning?what happens to the 200 rs fine?It's now a common scene to the bangaloreans to see people;including students,women and children smoking in public places where the authorities gives a passive permission to the smokers to continue their job.Who is the real culprit behind this;the government or the people.do ordinary people have a role to play in this drama?of course yes;if they don't then who?
