Temple Visit last week

Had been to some old temples near Vellore, Tamilnadu -
1. Thiruvalam
Surprised to see such a nice temple in the Chennai - Ranipet- Chittoor road, many times i have passed by this place but never had "time" to visit it. Spent a good 45 minutes inside the temple. Well maintained.
2. Vallimalai
Surprised to see a cave temple for Lord Muruga. This place is between Thiruvalam and Ponnai.

Week before last visited Pulipakkam, this is the hill on the Chingelpet Chennai road just after the toll gate if you are traveling to Chingelpet. Very small temple but the view from this hill is great.

Doomed to be Universities under section 3 of UGC act

Hue and cry is being raised on all quarters about these doomed universities in India, most of them in Tamil Nadu. But why are these questions not answered?

  1. Who was responsible for giving them affiliation as Doomed Universities?
  2. Why is nothing being done to those who granted affiliation?
  3. When there were reports appearing in media about these Doomed Universitites what was the government doing/
  4. What is the guarantee that this will not get repeated again?
  5. Will we EVER compete with other countries in education? Can we?

As a next step there will be people who will say that Doomed Universities must not exist and everything should be with the government. Remember Anna University Coimbatore in recent times?

As usual the rule of this land is to catch the innocent and torture him, while letting rich corrupt people get away.
