Grease at Every Crease

Normally buildings will fall in  the state of Maharashtra. We have seen such accidents quite often in Mumbai Thane and so on. But now in Chennai. Though smaller incidents took place this is a major one as the building involved is a 11 storey building.  If there is a race among the countries for selecting people who are fastest in 'money making' hope  we can be the winners. The love for money is the most intense now among we the Indians. The result is grease at every crease. 

Repeated efforts by cine people like  Director Shankar to eliminate graft was enjoyed by both the bribe givers and takers. Tamilnadu produces around 1,70,000  engineers every year with around 570 colleges.  Long live India!
