Fire stations get hi-tech motorcycles
By Our Staff Reporter
Royal Enfield motorcycles
equipped with firefighting apparatus were given for use by
personnel of T. Nagar and
Ashok Nagar Fire and Rescue
Stations by Tamil Nadu Government on Aug. 15. One motorcycle has been provided for
each station.
R. Ravichandran (Station
Fire Office, T. Nagar) told
Mambalam Times that each
motorcycle, costing Rs. 6.75
lakhs, has also been fitted with
a public address system and
siren.
He said that firemen on these
motorcycles will be able to enter narrow streets to fight fires
as fire engines find it difficult to
approach narrow roads and
lanes.
Each motorbike is equipped
with two cylinders containing
chemical mist instead of water. One liter of the chemical is
as effective as 200 liters of
water used in conventional
firefighting. The mist also ab-
sorbs heat faster. This technology will complement conventional methods rather than
replace them.
Each cylinder will have a ca-
pacity of 10 liters. A 2-liter air
bottle will be attached to it.
When sprayed, the water and
air will be compressed under
high pressure and come out as
mist.
While conventional fire tenders discharge water at the
rate of 450 liters to 1,800 liters
per minute, the cylinders discharge mist at .45 liters per
second. They are ideal for initial stages of a fire. The bikes
will be in operation till fire tenders reach the spot. They can
only complement conventional
fire fighting methods rather
than replace them. They are
ideal for fires in cars that occur
on the highways and ones in
small spaces.
The motorcycles and the
equipment have been bought
with funds provided by the Central Government.

TAMIL CINEMA 75 A LOOK BACK
By RANDOR GUY
Tamil Cinema and Music - 26
With his impressive voice and handsome looks and flair for
singing, Subbaiah Bhagavathar made his way up fast and played
lead roles on stage. Soon he was a stage star. Meanwhile he learnt
classical Carnatic music, and emerged as an excellent singer. He
was a major draw and his song ‘Jaya Jaya Gokula Bala...” became
a rage among audiences.
He sang this song as his signature tune as he entered the stage
in every play, irrespective of its period, the character he was
playing and the situation! Even when he played Lord Rama he
entered the stage singing ‘Jaya Jaya Gokula Bala’, an anachronism because Krishna was born long after Rama. Maybe not
correct according to the theory of drama of Aristotle but nobody
cared! Neither the audiences nor Bhagavathar!
In a play as Lord Krishna, he came on stage dressed in a silk suit
with bow tie and all. Only the top hat was missing!
The musical duels between Bhagavathar and Devudu Iyer led to
a misunderstanding between the two artistes and, for two long
years, they went their separate ways. ‘By public demand’ they
came together again in March, 1933 and the two, referred to as
‘kesaris’ (lions!), worked in the successful mythological play ‘Bhama
Vijayam’.
Bhagavathar was Lord Krishna and their battle began once
more with verve, sound and fury. Mikes were not yet in use in those
days and actors had to sing at the top of their voices!
It is interesting to note that Subbaiah Bhagavathar sent Vasan
and Kalki a lawyer’s notice for defaming him in ‘Ananda Vikatan’!
But Vasan was unfazed. He knew that, if the actor went to court,
the resultant publicity would help the circulation of his weekly! As
they say in Hollywood, there is nothing called ‘bad publicity’. All
publicity is good because you are being written about and not
forgotten!
The story of Nandanar, as immortalised by Gopalakrishna
Bharathi, was filmed thrice, each time with a few Carnatic music
greats. In 1935, another version of ‘Nandanar’ was produced which
created history at many levels. One of the immortals of Carnatic
music, Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer, made his only appearance in film as the rich Brahmin landowner Vedhiyar under whom
Nandan worked as his lowly ill-treated farmhand. A legend in his
lifetime, the mercurial maestro of music was a bohemian and
agreed to play the role, although the lead role of Nandan was to be
played by a woman, K. B. Sundarambal. Indeed KBS had reservations for she was a lowborn woman while Maharajapuram was a
highborn Brahmin! Such class, caste, communal distinctions and
prejudices prevailed in top gear in those days. But the great
musician did not care because he was above such narrow view and
tunnel vision attitudes. He received a fee of three thousand rupees
while KBS got an unheard of salary of one lakh rupees - a mega buck
fortune indeed in 1935! The two acting in a film became news per
se! Public expectation ran high and moviegoers eagerly awaited the
release of the film.
The film was produced by Hassandas Classical Talkies and
directed by the noted Hollywood- trained filmmaker, Manik Lal
Tandon. He made many Tamil films during 1930-1940s and
‘Nandanar’ was one of them. His films included ‘Bhama Vijayam’
(1934), a super hit in which Lord Krishna was acted by
Maharajapuram R. Krishnamurthy, Viswanatha Iyer’s younger
brother. It was in this mythological box office bonanza that
another legend of Carnatic music, a legend that still lives long after
the mortal man had gone to the yonder blue, the never-never-land
of no return, G. N. Balasubramaniam (immortalized under his
famous initials, GNB) took his bow in cinema as the musical sage
Narada.

end of the pool to the other on
a stretch of water that is not
more than 4 ft deep.
Around 9.30 a.m, after a
couple of laps, he tried to come
up by climbing the pool ladder
but struggled to breathe and
collapsed.
Coach Rajasekaran and his
Ravichandran
Ranga Reddy
assistant rushed to the boy’s
aid and pulled him out,” said R.
Sivakumar (Deputy Commissioner of Police, T. Nagar).
Ranjan was rushed to a private clinic on R. K. Shanmugam
Salai where doctors referred
him to Vijaya Hospital saying
his condition was serious, the
officer said.
Arun Kumar
Ranjan was pronounced
‘brought dead’ by doctors in
Vijaya Hospital.
The body was shifted to the
Government Royapettah Hospital for post-mortem.
Indira
Vaidyanathan
(School Principal) said: “When
he came to school in the morning he was normal. After he
swam on the three-foot side, he
started coughing, and was immediately taken to K.M. Nursing Home and then to Vijaya
Hospital. From the school’s
side we had taken all precautions, and the class teacher,
lifeguard and coach were all
present near the pool.”
Sheela Rajendra (Deputy
Dean & Director, and Correspondent) said: “We cannot
make any comment now. All I
can say is that we are shat-
Spotlight on safety aspects in
swimming pools
The drowning of Ranjan, a
Std. 4 student of PSBB School,
in the school’s swimming pool
on Aug. 16 has thrown up many
questions on safety in swimming pools.
“It is hard to imagine how
one coach can manage 26 children in a pool at a time. Ideally,
there should be a coach for
every 5 to 7 students because
his line of vision will be limited
to five meters. Also, two lifeguards in uniform must monitor the entire pool,” said T.
Elango (coach and Proprietor
of V. V. Swimming Pool).
If the children are just beginners then each of them should
be coached individually with
care, he said.
There are other aspects of
safety that require attention,
Elango pointed out. For instance, there should be lifebuoys
and a rope, and the depth of the
pool should be clearly indicated
on the pool walls. Also, only if
the water is clear, can the
coach see if a child drowns.
“For clear water, the right
amount of chlorine must be
added and water should be
tested every two months,” he
said. When the depth varies
from 3 to 7 ft, it is difficult to
make out if a child is drowning
if clarity is poor, he said. It is
not always the case that only
a beginner drowns, said the
swimming coach. “Even good
swimmers get tired and when
they do, they are also susceptible to drowning,” he said.
In such cases, the coach or
the lifeguard must press the
victim’s stomach to pump out
the water, give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or
chest compressions, and
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. For this, he must undergo
first-aid training provided by
some agencies especially for
coaches.
Some schools which are
equipped with swimming pools
and give regular coaching to
their students say utmost care
has to be taken while handling
children in water.
“We ensure there are only 5
to 6 students in the pool at a
time. Two coaches and four
lifeguards are always on duty,”
said Sarah Selvakumari (Vice
Principal, Maharishi International Residential School). Report courtesy The Hindu

Dara Singh, the macho hero of my college days (when one thinks
more of one’s muscles than one’s facial map) looked like a mountain
when, one day, friend Hegde and I walked into the Marina Canteen
having slipped out of Prof. Sethuraman’s economics drivel at the
Presidency College opposite, for elevenses.
Ali, our favourite waiter, told us that the mountain with the
rippling biceps was Dara Singh. He must have been several inches
beyond 6 feet, because Hegde, who was a six-footer, looked tiny
hunched in his chair sipping tea. I, a good 6 inches shorter than
Hegde, never compare myself with anyone and so always felt at ease
in the company of giants and dwarfs, for I had discovered the Higgs
Boson at my birth that we are all variations of particles that get
distributed helter skelter and there is no copyright to it. Higgs will
probably have to take a trip to Stockholm for the 2013 Nobel
ceremony, and I hope he would at least throw these humble wrestlers
or other performers a thought on our good old Bose who, like me, had
discovered the truth that was omnipresent that we are all particles.
Dara, being human, had to go like all good or bad things. These
performers or world shakers leave the legacy of wisdom for ordinary
chaps like me that, be you ever so high, there is something higher and
ineffable, the search for which is what billions of the earthlings are
engaged in.
It is certainly a cold comfort, but comfort is not dependent on
temperature but temperament. The great expo Olympics has just
ended, but all that I will see is PARTICLES and their clamour for
ascendancy. No medals from me.

Corporation’s smaller house site proposal
rejected
Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has rejected Chennai Corporation’s proposal to reduce the minimum area
required for construction of a residential house in the city, Corporation sources said.
The proposal to reduce the minimum area required for construction of a residential house from 80
sq. meters (861 sq. ft) to 50 sq.
meters (538 sq. ft) was mooted by
Mayor Saidai Duraiswamy, who
felt a smaller plot size will benefit
the common man and help make
housing affordable for the weaker
sections.
However, the CMDA, in its
reply, said that the plot extent is a
basic planning parameter that determines the extent of built-up area
and setback spaces and, as such,
relaxing it will have serious implications on natural ventilation and
safety.
CMDA said that if Chennai
Corporation faces problems in issuing planning permission in cases
where the plot extent is less than
80 sq. meters, it can relax the
planning parameters only if there
are demonstrable hardships, family partition, court cases depending on the genuineness as done by
CMDA.
Corporation sources said that a
survey by CMDA was carried out
following the request from the
Chennai Corporation in a few
blocks of the older parts of the city
like Triplicane, Mylapore,
Tondiarpet and Purasawalkam. The
survey found that even in continuously built-up areas, plot sizes
were more than 50 sq. meters. It
indicated that even in old land
parcels no further sub-division has
taken place. Courtesy The New
