“My wife got to know about a dog who was bleeding after being hit by a vehicle. Without thinking twice, I left my auto stand and went to pick up the injured dog, who was given timely help and rescued,” says Baskar.

He says that this led to more calls from rescue volunteers who needed transportation for injured animals.
However, at that time, Baskar was driving a rented auto, and his owner was against him taking injured animals in the vehicle.

1/N What is dry air and how it affects LPA or cyclone? Check this thread #Chennairains #Tamilnadurains #NEM2022 #Chennai #TamilNadu #94B
2/N Low pressure forms when air is warm from ocean surface(it can be from warm land as well)
When warm air rises low area of low pressure is created in ocean which attracts cool air as air moves from high pressure to low pressure area.#Chennairains #Tamilnadurains #NEM2022
When warm air rises low area of low pressure is created in ocean which attracts cool air as air moves from high pressure to low pressure area.#Chennairains #Tamilnadurains #NEM2022
3/N Since low pressure area (LPA) is warm region which expands & warm air rises. Once warm air rises more void will be created. To fill the void more air rushes into LPA. Again, the incoming air become warm & rises. This process continues #Chennairains #Tamilnadurains #NEM2022

There has been a lot of talk about what is likely to happen for #Chennai and the surrounding districts in the next 4 days.
And it's been a while since I last gave a concrete update and so this I feel is the time to give one

To answer the big question here.
Will #Chennai and surrounding districts get heavy to very heavy rains as being discussed everywhere.
The straightforward answer would be a big "YES".
HEAVY TO VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IS VERY LIKELY IN THE NEXT 4 DAYS FOR CHENNAI AND SURROUNDINGS.

The next question that is being is being widely asked is why?
There is a low pressure area that is forming and taking shape in the Central Bay of Bengal region and is likely to move west towards Northern #Tamilnadu coast
It can become a well marked low and at best, a depression

Originally a village developed for weavers, with streets laid out without any social distinction, the planning of Chintadripet was ahead of its time. It played a vital role in East India Company's trade in cloth and thrived under the support and encouragement of the Britishers.
Beyond that, Chintadripet was home to individuals and communities who have shaped the locality and its development.
Today, Chintadripet is popular for its fish market, its fascinating history lost in the past.

#Chess evolved as a metaphor for society. Every pawn aspires to become a queen. That's how we tempt them to be first into the fray and take the brunt of the battle. Little do they know the chances of changing their status are slim to none. So long as the king lives nobody cares.
Knights, they are brave, they are bold, they jump over friends & foe to get right to the heart of the battle, they can strike here, and over there too & you don't want one on your side of the board! They step to the side when they stop, that's what horses do when reined in short!

How to get away with murder
Thread
With less than 50% conviction rate overall and even less in heinous crimes like murder, the police chargesheet is the playbook for ‘getting away with murder’ I write on the recent acquittals in murder trials in #Chennai Mahila court. @dt_next

In last two months, verdict was given in seven murder cases, four of them ending in acquittal. It is unlikely that #Chennai police would take up these cases for re-investigation.But the victims- a 4 y/o child, a young widow who left behind her two children are robbed of justice
Within two months of her adoption from an orphanage in Madurai, Clara was dead. Post mortem confirmed it was a murder. Eleven months later, Chintadripet police arrested the adoptive father, X Gerard, an advocate. Police theory was that he was upset that he got a ‘defective’ child

We would say it's the taste and the loyal customer base. The buttermilk here is loaded with cut raw mangoes (maanga) and boondi, and the taste is heavenly! According to 'The Hindu', the curd for this buttermilk comes from a dairy farm in Walajabad.
It arrives at 04:00 am and around 50 litres of buttermilk is made at 04:00 pm every day. Their USP? They operate only during the late hours of the night! The crowds, both families and friends, that gather to have Chetta's Buttermilk is an experience by itself!
