Gotta Go ?

Gotta Go ? Visit Charmin's restroom is the advert. There are about 20 of these restrooms available in the New York City. Unfortunately i couldn't get to the other side since people weren't allowed to cross the road because of Thanksgiving Parade. By the way Charmin is the manufacturer of the tissue papers, you know what they are for.

Certainly a great idea for a city as busy as New York, after all you don't your citizens running around for washrooms in busy areas.

Muni Meters

When I saw this Muni Meters along the streets in Manhattan, the first impression was - am I reading it right. After making sure I was reading correctly, I was wondering why would the NYC do the exact spelling mistake at each and every instance. Well finally I realized the Muni Meters would stand for the municipality meters of the New York City.

These are the meters used to pay for the car parking charges. The charges weren't too bad as one would expect in Manhattan.

That's the American way !

In a earlier post in August, I posted a picture of pet owners responsibility to ensure that the public places are kept clean. http://catchypictures.blogspot.com/2010/08/poo-for-thought.html

The below is a picture shot in Norwalk, CT again illustrating the importance of keeping it clean from pets poo. The picture dint quiet come out exactly in the same way, i wanted it to be but i couldn't do any better when it was freezing cold. Bottom Line - When you own a pet, you have to go that extra mile.

 

Thirukkural

Thirukkural in english. This was in the Lord Muruga temple at Siglap Road, Singapore. I ofcourse went down there for the free prasatham :P. For people who dont know what a Thirukkural is ~ It is a collection of 1330 Tamil couplets organised into 133 chapters. Each chapter has a specific subject ranging from "ploughing a piece of land" to "ruling a country". For people who already know what it is, translate into Tamil and comment the Tamil Equivalent.

Wattfish

Relationship between Human & Light energy is an interesting observation. Reminds me of 3 Idiots movie, where stress is on how important it is to think out of the box and how things can be so beautiful if you start doing so. By the way this picture was shot in the helix bridge on the way to Marina Bay Sands.

Hendersons Wave Bridge

This is the Henderson Waves bridge in the western area of Singapore. There is a direct bus which goes all the way from the Red Hill MRT station in the Green Line or there are a bunch of buses which you can take from the Harbourfront MRT station. Henderson Waves, a structure not to be missed, connects Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park. Standing at 36m above Henderson Road, it is worth visiting for its artistic, distinctive wave-like structure consisting of a series of undulating curved 'ribs'.

Personally, i loved this bridge for one main reason the view from the bridge is fantastic. One could view Water Front, Sky Scrappers, Green Trees from the bridge. One picture taken from the ground level and other focusing towards the place where the first picture was taken from.
