three in one....

The post title may be a little misleading...between i still had a different title on my mind...."Awesome threesome"...bt thought it may create a dubious image in the mind of many....i hope boys get it right:)

Anyways either way this is not a post on retail offer in stores as in "3 pe 1 free" wala...this post simply describes our journey of three over 1 vehicle called the LUNA..ya u got it right its the same "chal meri LUNA"...wala TVS LUNA..on which we made our 'safar' today during the village field visits and made the LUNA 'suffer'(this homophone courtesy Farhan Qureshi of 3 idiots). Under the combined weight of around 150kg the engine was roaring with pain bt it never failed us...now i know why it is so popular in rural India.....{in picture from rear: Sutanu, Divaker, the field staff and still ahead its his LUNA}'pic courtesy Sutanu's Nokia 6233 inMotion'

Another thing which struck in my mind is about our carbon footprint which we generated in our visit...suppose had we not overcrowded the LUNA we would have taken a Bike right.....that means a straight 100 cc engine..means more fuel expenditure..means more CO2 generation and more carbon....skeptics would say that engine overweight would have definitely caused more fuel burning but i dnt think so....

Similar logic extended to general traffic ...in city traffics you usually see over crowded buses, to autos to two wheelers...had each one of them had a comfortable journey imagine the even greater no. of vehicles plying the road and even the greater no. of exhaust generated...

One thing is clear its due to our traffic habits we saved a lot not only in petrol bills but also earn a virtual Carbon credit given to us not by Uncle Sam but by Mother Nature in terms of a better place to live.....keep pondering of this....and do wait till my next posts....

p.s.- apart from the business aspects i need to learn from my summers project i am getting a lot extra things like these to think over and learn the little nuances from Mother Nature....

Travel in buses..

another interesting thing too see here at Gobi are the Buses...they r so well decorated and big and spacious...with tamil songs blasting in full volume. some other buses have tv sets 2 in nos. as well and it plays tamil video songs... so that the journey is not tiresome...and really loved this concept...unlike in other parts specially in the northern india u can find this facility only in long route buses.....

ya the bright spots which u see in the picture right to the blog.....are the two 14" tv sets playing some song of Surya -the southern Shahrukh

Its really like that bollywood song coming true in tollywood style..."haste haste kat jaye raste"....

the roads here are well paved with sugarcane and banana fields lush green and coconut trees standing tall.....

Life in Summers

Got my summers in Villgro Innovation Network,Tamilnadu.....actually at a place called Gobichattipalyam in erode district..its funny na!!...they fondly called it Gobi here....i think Mooli, Baigan, Allu, Padwal are next in the naming list...:).. that was a PJ..

however contrary to the popular belief the place here is quite kool yaar i mean climatologically...its only 125km away from OOTY....lol...plan to go sum day....

one of the most difficult things which i came across here is the language ..its damn tough yaar...i mean i can stay here for 3 more months but cant make a single thing out of it..i asked Kumar sir about the no. of alphabets in their language..its 247 in number yaar...on top of that all the hordings bannaer and all shop name its written in the local language i cant understand a thing....thanks for the support of my other group members....they order the food for me, shop for me along with countless other helps..
