Chennai came across the highest rainfall in the century. We all heard the negative news about media but of course there are some positive things happened as well! Entrepreneurs from Chennai came up a initiative to help the needy ad this how the help was provided to the needy people. Entrepreneur like Varun Manian, Founder & MD Radiance Realty has come up Radiance Genies to help the poor and needy!<br />To know more visit - http://varunmanian.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11769527703298726518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-63439560201390370872016-05-28T11:28:58.585+05:302016-05-28T11:28:58.585+05:30so almost all the water tanks were encroached duri...so almost all the water tanks were encroached during the anti indian dravidian justice party and JJ govt is told the cause for floods.What a pity dmk and other parties hungry for power are stooping to such levels.smkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16570882731081141225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-12973719545636132922015-12-27T20:40:28.147+05:302015-12-27T20:40:28.147+05:30Really sad that creative people like Kamal who ear...Really sad that creative people like Kamal who earn their livelihood from the erstwhile "Long Lake"- today called Kodambakkam (with all the resources available at their disposal ) were making films about useless topics for India like "international terrorism" (Vishwaroopam ) instead of making a film about the dangers of "Chembarambakkam" ! :-). That was my point. I am just an ordinary citizen who was inspired by your timely blog. That's all.

As I wrote in my blog on astrological pointers for the current rains (http://jayasreesaranathan.blogspot.in/2015/12/chennai-floods-will-rains-continue-in.html), a few hours ago, Moon has entered the 5th house from Mars, one of the factors causing the plentiful rainfall for a month now. As per the rule, this will cause rains until 16th but it will be of moderate nature. In the absence of other 2 planets (Saturn and sun) not in such an angle with Moon, rains will be moderate. We will wait and watch. In the meantime I am collecting the old records of high rainfall and also scant rainfall to check the strength of the ativrsihti and anavrishti yogas. I will write a blog on them once I get a concrete pattern on those findings.

Wiki articles on swamp and wetland would give details of how it works in the hydro chain of draining flood waters. Check wiki article on Pallikaranai also which has become (in)famous for more than one reason in the recent floods, to know how a Karanai fits in the chain.<br /><br />Usually karaNai means collection of water or fluids along with other substances. The disease Cirrhosis is known as KaraNai disease in Tamil as it pertains to collection of fluids. Generally any tissue or cell that swells with fluids is known a karaNai in Tamil. <br /><br />I will check my old Tamil books for the root of this word, which I can do only after a few days as they are all packed up for now. <br /><br />Going by the word and its meaning and relevance, I guess this word is derived from 'araN' (அரண்) which means 'thaduppu'(தடுப்பு) or barrier. The excess water from KaNmai when it passes through marshy lands gets dipped and trapped there. When KaraNai also swells, the water is drained into 'Yenthal' The term Yenthal means that which receives (ஏந்திக் கொள்ளுதல்). This word indicates that Yenthal is a low trough closer to KaraNi into which the excess water from KaraNai oozes in. This water will be clear and would further get collected into OoraNi and Kulam. In this chain, upto KaraNai, habitation will be sparse or nil.<br /><br />In this chain, a KarNai need not always be present unless the landscape and the vegetation are supportive of it. And also a KaraNai needs to be regularly exposed to water logging to make it become a KaraNai. Therefore a karaNai can be formed in or near flood plains. <br /><br />In the hydro chain that Mr Ramanathan wrote, karaNai is missing. It may or may not existed in that particular chain he is referring.

They are happy as long as their coffers are filled, even if the land goes dry.<br /><br />I request a small help. While I have, from various dictionaries, found out the origin and the derived meaning of all the words from Aaru to Kuttai, somehow I have not been able to locate the source, and hence the meaning, for Karanai. Would be grateful if you could help me in this regard.Raghuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00898375309807817539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-86697050608237020262015-12-13T17:11:35.213+05:302015-12-13T17:11:35.213+05:30If only we knew the connection Chennai and the Hol...If only we knew the connection Chennai and the Hollywood movie "Evan Almighty" had : Long Lake !Ramesh Mahalingamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466033637646268759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-4664750602200007252015-12-11T18:24:08.047+05:302015-12-11T18:24:08.047+05:30Very detailed article on the water management of y...Very detailed article on the water management of yesteryear Chennai. One thing that I personally believe is that with the course of time, the pull of urbanization is eventually going to eat up all our waterways. This is not only true to the developing world but has already been seen in much of the developed world as well. The need of the hour is effective engineering to ensure we save our lakes or 'transfer' the lakes to an alternate location away from the city such that we can divert our water into these waterbodies. When Chicago could raise it's buildings in the 1800s to save itself from perennial flooding, why can't we take a leaf out of that?<br /><br />Refer - Wikipedia- Raising_of_ChicagoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968313038223490489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-54798546286777088932015-12-11T17:41:01.456+05:302015-12-11T17:41:01.456+05:30Thanks Madam.
