Place for books - very proud


I wanted to shout load at the top of my voice from the concealed air-conditioned library Chennai’s very own; second largest in India. I used to lament when I witnessed some of the fine libraries abroad; I always comment to my friends that seeing the method of books being stored one can ascertain the attitude of people of the state. It’s definitely a replica or an inspiration from some out of the boundary culture, not to complain but definitely a good thing to welcome even when replicated.
The infra structure is good, generous car park, courteous staff surprisingly I found securities saying “thank you and welcome” I had goose bumps- off course it’s very normal otherwise but in India in Tamilnadu that to in ‘Chennai’ it was unexpected. Great collection of books for a government setup supposedly the most well maintained government unit could be this library at Koturpuram, even though it’s just one year I am confident that the present ruler who is herself a voracious reader will keep the treasure well groomed.
Demerits – “Too many cooks spoil the broth” as the saying goes there were too many staff members disturbing privacy.

After this eruption the moon looked blue for several days. Luckily for us, volcanoes don't erupt every day, so a blue moon continues to be a rare phenomenon. Another explanation offered by scholar...

Sharp's Enhanced Definition TVs

"Look," you may be saying, "I just want a TV, OK? I don't want to play Xbox 360 on it or build a home theater or impress my geeky friends with my contrast ratios.
