With #heartattack trending. Most cases, proper CPR is not performed. Majority of Indians doesn't know the basic first aid skills. Once, you ascertain the breathlessness, nopulse. Remember to do 2inches of chess compression. It can save heart attack patients
In india, there is a political lobbies to fight for teaching proud history, languages(3+), religious stuff but none want student to learn life skills like first aid, basic hardware, local governance/geography,.etc. last yr an 28yr old IISc student died, none around knows of CPR
Chest compression not chess, uff auto complete.
Mannargudi Hospital Nurse Vanaja acted fast n gave CPR on the field and saved the youngster life. Plz remember to perfom CPR, only if patient is lifeless(no breathing/pulse), CPR requires strong chest compression, sometimes it may break the bones.

Age of Empire is a popular multiplayer game during our college days, it is a strategic war game with 43 dynasties. It is owned by Microsoft. This year, they added "The Dravidian" Dynasty based on Rajendra chola army. It is now one of the strongest water civilization in AOE 1/2
During our college days in 2008, we used to play as Byzantine/Mongols. Now, they have 43 civilization each with their plus/minus. The Dravidian are the strongest civilization for Naval games. Its interesting to hear Tamil Spoken in Age of Empire. Use Natarajar as emblem 2/2
More than 90 feared dead due to failure of suspension pedestrian bridge built across Machchhu river in the town of Morbi, Gujarat due to bad renovation and overcrowding. Machhu river is known for the worst dam collapse in Independent India on Aug 1979, killing >5000 in Morbi 1/3
Machhu river originate in Jasdan hills. It flows for 141km, with a basin area of 2515sqkm, flows into little Rann of Kachchh, dry basin with a ~550mm rainfall. On 11 Aug 1979, due to heavy rain, Machhu dam-2 saw a inflow of >4lakh cusec above designed capacity of 2lakh cusec 2/3
On 11 Aug-1979, Macchu-2 dam built just upstream of Morbi town collapsed, creating a flood with height >20-30ft, submerging Morbi town killing >5000 people. Machhu river, an important source of water in the parched region. 3/3
#TamilNadu current population is ~7.7Cr. Out of 194 countries in the world, only 19 countries have populations larger than #TN. Of that 19, only Bangladesh has more population density. So, Tamil Nadu is one of the most densely populated(~600per sqkm) regions in the world 1/3
Tamil Nadu is 7th largest state in terms of population in India. It is 10th largest "state" in the area. It has 3.96% of India's landmass 5.5% of its population. It has ~1.2% of utilizable surface water in India, that is ~850TMC out of ~75000TMC national utilizable water 2/3
#TamilNadu population density is ~600 people per sqkm. It is the fifth most densely populated "State" in India. India's avg population density is ~425 people per skm. TN state area is 3.21 crore acres incl all rivers, forests, roads..etc. That is 0.4 acre of land per person 3/3
Present cultural/religious historical debate are amusing. Current avg age of TN is 30yrs old. If the state does not develop economically within next 15years, it will never develop. If not now then its never. We can fight religious, cultural and caste war later 1/4
Our state is poor compared to global avg in gdp and many health indicators. This is a time, we need to have pointed focus on economy, wealth creation and job. Providing better drinking water, education, air, environment. To create strong foundation for future 2/4
If TN get distracted based on religious, cultural line, it will be a historical injustice to the future generation. State need to focus on diverse economical & career opportunity, otherwise, we will loose our intelligent people. Left with passionate people debating in street 3/4
Katteri waterfalls formed by Katteri river in the southern Nilgiris dt in #TamilNadu. Katteri river originate near Lovedale at the height of 2300m. It is a major tributary of Coonoor river, that joins Bhavani. Katteri river has two small scenic dams & numerous waterfalls 1/2
Southern Nilgiri's with places like Huligal, Manjacombai-Geddai, Kinnakorai are less crowded scenic natural treasures. They have many natural streams, waterfalls, thick forest, estates..etc. 2/2
Bangalore sits above 2900ft, one have to be master in bad planning to flood a high altitude, rich metro city.
All cities are not made equal, cities like Mumbai & Chennai with their flat terrain, costal tides, heavy rainfall are geographically flood vulnerable. #bangalorerains
I meant, places like Bangalore, flood mitigation is easier & less trivial/complex. You need to follow gradient, valleys.Higher flow speed meant small drain could evacuate more water, it doesn't stagnate in this terrain. Old Bangalore withstood these rain with avg drain system 1/n
Chennai/Mumbai sit in 5-7m height, water flow very slowly, stagnate more. In these "Mega cities", canal depth cant go above 5m(shallow), otherwise sea water will enter the city. They also receive heavy rainfall. So, flood mitigation is non-trivial and complex plan is required 2/n
