A long and first trip in our Nexon

 Dear Readers               Hope you all are doing well and celebrated the Diwali!                              3 years back, when we bought the Nexon petrol, it took 3 months to go for a long trip which is around 550-kilometer one way.               Usually, for long trips I prefer to have a halt after 300 kilometers, and I never travelled 500+ kilometer in one go with family. So, we had a halt in between and went to Tiruchendur.               And, we reach Tiruchendur by evening and have a darshan as usual. In the next day we sometimes have a darshan once again and start returning home. However, my spouse friend advised us to have a early morning darshan to avoid the crowd.               So, we went to the temple by 230 AM in the morning, ...

My personal experience on Driving License renewal

 Dear Readers

    I hope you all are doing good. Let me share my recent experience with RTO on license renewal. It is partially a complement and a complaint.

                      

    A few years back, I think entire processing moved to online mode that includes form submission, proof submission, photo, etc.

    Let us get into the story now. It all started with a Driving School near Medavakkam. As I did not want to go through typical government office processing I chose to go with a driving school. On the phone they said the fee for the license renewal is 2000 after I gave the complete details.

    Once I reached there, a madam sitting in the front office told me that actual charge is 4000. I was not ok to pay such a huge amount and as usual, I spoke to a few of my friends who were supposed to have finished the processing recently. They said it won't even go up to 1000 rupees.

    As all of them told me, I first needed to get the license available online. The driving school where I took the license 15 years back charged 500 to bring it online and they took 2 weeks for it.

    One another information I revealed is normal courier service should not be used for original documents. I opted for a registered post, but it seems to be unavailable anymore. Only speed post service is being supported by the postal department. To bring the license online, there is no fee mentioned in the government portal still the driving school charged 500 and I think it includes the bribe.

    After that I applied online for the renewal, got the appointment and went to the RTO office directly. To my surprise, they treated all the applicants with good respect. we were asked to sit in the bench instead of standing in the queue. Enough ventilation with Fans, drinking water, regular updates and quick processing.

    Within 40 mins, entire processing completed with photograph taken for the new license. Most importantly, there was not even a talk about bribe. After 2 days, I got it delivered to my home. 

    We are almost close to the corruption free, honest and fully online country. I was told this new online processing is in place from 2020. The first step is still online which is doing the backlog for the non-online licenses. It has to be taken care soon.

    Thank you for reading.

He dont know or he does not know

Greetings to all the readers!! This particular mistake is a common one, even fluent English speakers do that sometimes. If you talk to someone, you are the first person and the person you talk to is the second person. Suppose your conversation is about another person or things, that is called as third person. To be frank, all these terms were like latin(something unknown) words to me till i complete my graduation 10 years back. If your discussion is about a single person or thing, about the current event, and it is time to you use 's' with verb. Example He walks. She runs. It sleeps. It rains and so on. what if your sentence is negative or question, then Negative He does not walk. She does not run. It does not sleep. Yes or No Question  Does he walk? Does she run? Does it sleep? WH Question Where does he walk? When does she run? How does it sleep?

What makes Life 100 percent

Dear Readers Just a story from my own experience In our life, there are many qualities we have such as patience, talent, knowledge, etc. Though we have all these, do you know which one makes your life 100 percent.  Let’s find it using a mathematical calculation. Firstly, Knowledge –   Sum up the place value of each character.                                         –       11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96 Then, Health – 8 + 5 + 1 + 12 + 20 + 8 = 54 Money – 13 + 15 + 14 + 5 + 25 = 72. Peace – 16 + 5 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 24 Oh, No. none of these 100%. All of our favorite things have gone. What else does it. Let’s try a new one, Attitude – 1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100, wow. Finally, we got it. It is our Attitude make the life 100%. Always have a positive, healthy, and good attitude. That’s more than enough....
