Pearl City - A Makeover




I remember the bumpy roads and the never ending journey during my childhood. I remember asking the same question over and over again, when will we reach? In less than a decade, the change is tremendous and unbelievable. Thanks to planning and support of the government. The sleepy town has now become the busy industrial hub. The pearl city which is always known for its silent yet busy port and its allied business is now become an active commercial city with connectivity through all means. Be it water, air, road or rail, the city offers a wide range of services through all.
The city has one of the oldest natural harbor which serves as both a hub for most countries. The harbor is one of the natural harbors in the country and has good dock facilities. The harbor also serves as a job source for many people of the Pearl Citizens as well as many others as well. The city’s airport offers domestic flights to almost all places in South India. Though, relatively new when compared to the other means of transport, the person of the city have happily accepted and have started to actively use the services of the airport. Daily flights and a good occupancy rate serves as a proof for this service.
The railway is one of the oldest in the state. It serves as the right blend of heritage and modern trends. The Pearl constructed in the Railway station reminds the native of their heritage and speaks about it to the guests of the city. It has daily services to Major Places. The road transport is definitely something which should be mentioned. The National Highway serves as a major connect with the other cities. Around a lakh vehicle inclusive of Cars, Buses and Heavy vehicles like Lorry, Trucks and Trailers use this every month. The Road is carefully constructed to provide access and connectivity. The East Coast Road or Ramanathapuram Road is good and safe road to go for a comfortable journey with your friends and family. As I drive into the city, The toll centre welcomes me which symbolizes the development of the city. There are two major roads with many interconnecting roads in the interior of the city. The roads are cleverly designed to provide access to major places within the city. The newly constructed bridge connects and gives a different feel and look to the city. The roads and buildings are constructed in a way to allow enough parking space and space for pedestrians. The traffic is not bad and flows without much noise.  
The city has come a long way and still has miles to cover. The fact that it is a part of Smart City project serves a testimonial to its growth. The city is definitely made of great

Rock to Sculpture

Every person we meet creates an impact on us. The way the impact works is quite surprising. Sometimes the impact created by a stranger is more than the impact by a close friend. I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights.

Hey Ocean, Here I come

If you could plan your death, how would you plan it? #PlanUrDeath  This is a very interesting thought. The thought itself is enough to chill our bones. Death is something which is beyond our control. It is the unconquered kingdom. It is something which we cannot predict nor decide. It happens in its own phase, in its own time and in its own style. Still given as a chance. It would be the most exciting and interesting event to plan.  My death will be combination of the things I love. I would try to make it as interesting as possible.  Goodbyes are very important to me. It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt me. They migh
