A series of road and pavement repair work being carried out in sector 73 in Khalidiya is causing major inconvenience to the public.
The entire area is marked for repair by the contracting company responsible for the project. They have also dug up the pavement and removed the bricks that have been stacked up randomly. It’s a posh residential area with a high concentration of high-rises, restaurants, banks and other commercial establishments. In normal times, before the repair work began, availability of parking spaces was limited. So one can imagine the inconvenience it has caused to residents and visitors. The pieces of bricks and concrete also pose a grave danger to children.
Apart from that, the lorries that keep plying in the area cause traffic chaos as there is limited space for vehicle movement.
I humbly request the civic authorities to facilitate convenient passage for residents and vehicles. That could have been done easily by marking smaller segments for renovation, instead of marking an entire sector. It can still be done.

Gulf News Reader pictures of the week – :07 September 22, 2013
Gulf News reader Ramesh Menon took this picture at the Abu Dhabi International Hunting & Equestrian Exhibition. Falcons are an integral part of desert life in the UAE for centuries. Originally, falcons were used for hunting, to supplement the Bedouin diet with some meat, such as hare and houbara.

Divine rhythms of Kerala 3
A tribute to all temple artists of Kerala – especially those who participate in Irinjalakuda, Urakam, Cherpu, Arattuppuzha and Trichur pooram festivals. It is absolutely nostalgic. What you see is what you get when you visit Kerala during the months of April – May. Do not miss the coming season.

Natural springs of Sabarimala forest
Kerala is blessed with a heavy monsoon this year. This resulted in abundance of water everywhere, especially in the forests on way to Sabarimala. This is one such natural spring, where you can see devotees enjoying an ever remembering bath.

HSE and Safety initiative and promotional campaign seen on a tourist vehicle parked next to my car at Pampa, Sabarimala. Interestingly, while speaking to the young driver, he had many ideas. It proved once again to me – Never under estimate anyone, especially when it comes to safety.
