December 2023-Yet another year comes to an end

December
We come to the end of the year. With  Christmas around the corner, we do have many waiting for the Year to get over. 

November 2023 has been quite an happening month, the ambitious Char Dham circuit road in Uttarakhand was in the news with an ambitious tunnel collapsing and the trapped workers being rescued after 17 Days after machines collapsed and Rat Mining had to be resorted to. 

Nearer home we had Heavy rain and landslides hit traffic on the Kotagiri-Mettupalayam Road as well as on the Coonoor -Mettupalayam Road. Trees fell on the road. Traffic on the road was hit. The Nilgiris district administration worked swiftly to clear the roads.

Reminders of similar flooding in 1978.

November 2023 Blogs

The world has rebound back to normal, the war in the Ukraine continues,  the dastardly attack by HAMAS in the West Bank on Yom Kippur Day is a repeat of the 1973 actions in the middle east, however a more cruel turn of events. Israel has moved in with equal ferocity and the fighting still moves on, we would need to wait and watch. The economy across the world limps along.... where are our regular Bloggers we hope to have more Stanite Bloggers logging in. . With Children's day around, and winters setting in, hopefully our bloggers would be in their homes and would access their blogs. The western world sets their clocks forward by an hour

September 2023 Blogs

 

We start September with the Monsoon clouds play their magic, torrential rains in some parts with accompanying floods and regular woes in some parts, Many Areas in the world hit by drought and heavy rains... Himachal, parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Nepal and Sikkim  been in the news with massive landslides, torrential rains etc, rescue operations to bring succor to the flood affected people. 

 
Bangalore has also had its tryst with the monsoon, some Roads have had water logging the last few days but not rivalling last year's floods.

Our School has been very active with Inter school competitions. The School is now the anchor for many events, kudos to the Principal, Staff and Students.

lets start September Comments Here.
