Online Payment of Electricity Bill in Chennai

No need to stand in a long Q and strain yourself.You can now pay your electricity bills through online sitting at home if you are a resident of Chennai.Yes at last,Tamilnadu Electricity Board(TNEB) have introduced online payment of electricity bills for the first time in Chennai.Click here to pay online. There is a good thing that the bills can be paid on holidays also.The bad thing is that after the last date there is no facility,rather than facility you cannot pay through online.And payment can be made only in the concerned computerised office manually along with fine.It is better late than never that online payment have been implemented from September 15th.



There is also another good news where Any Time Payment(ATP) Machines has been installed in Chennai North Region to facilitate Consumers to pay Current Consumption Charges (Electricity Bill) through Cash/Local Cheque/DD at the locations specified below. This facility will be available for 24 hours during the collection Period (1st to 15th of every month). Chennai City (Chennai North and South Region) Consumers can avail this facility.The ATP Collection Centres at present is in Anna Salai (TNEB Head Office),T.Nagar,Wallajah Road and Seven Wells (Sowcarpet).In this machine only note currencies are accepted and the payers are requested not to use coins and notes that are in bad condition.If there is excess amount,it will be adjusted in the subsequent bills and any short payment will lead to disconnection of electricity line without any prior information,which is strange.

The C,CC,CCC Day..................

I wanted to attend only 1 hour in college and then bunk.Fortunately,my college guys were in hunger strike where the classes were canceled for a week.Very happily,I went to give a book to my friend who was in State Consumer Dispute Redressal commission or Consumer Court.It was my first visit today not as an advocate,but to see my friend.May be in future I may step into for defending cases as I have not yet decided to practice.


My friend was given appointment in the court where there was an hour to go.In the mean time we decided to go to Chennai Citi Center which is nearby consumer court.It was my first visit to that mall.Well established with exclusive stores under one roof.Citi center is been visited by many celebrities very casually which is good to see them publicly.Today I saw gorgeous Swarnamalya as I entered into the mall.While waiting near the gate for my friend to bring his bike.I was standing in between two exit gates where cars passed in front and back of me.I was busy reading the parking tariff which was in front of me.After sometime I noticed that there was a black skoda octavia car in which Vijayadiraj was going where I missed to see him directly when the car was near me.






The best thing today I featured was that the places where I went started with letter C.

No Honking Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all know that in road it is those three who govern us and its our obligation to follow them.The three are Red-Amber-Green,which means ,Stop-Prepare to stop-Go, respectively.The traffic is high during peak hours.Everyone knows how to follow the rules of traffic and everything is fine when it is red i.e where all wheels stop.I am here not to inform about people who coordinate to stop but to let you all know how I lose my temper.


The degree of hardness is impeccable. I cant even explain as it raises upto its maximum. And wow the intolerable noise from all vehicles are irresistible.Oh ! Yes as soon as it is green all are set to go.But still I am outbursted because of the annoying noise made by the people with their automobile horns who are waiting behind me .I can go only when vehicles in front of me start going. Until the front vehicles move they horn continuously. Even if it is green please wait until your own way is free. Don’t ever annoy others by making such noise.I don’t understand none can be illiterate about the signals of our country. Then why people cant think that they can go only when the traffic in front of them is clear. A major problem in populous city.


I am totally frustrated and disturbed till I come out of the traffic.Please I wish everyone to act wisely while driving to adhere some courtesy so that no one becomes deaf………….Please my readers don’t do this mistake again who ever does or ask the one who does not to do.

Light (Heavy) Music

Light music is now one of the essentials without which the marriage reception these days are incomplete. Only the name is light where as the music is heavy,rather than heavy it is a menace. The noise is so heavy that it disturbs a good occasion of get together. I have attended so many marriages with light music. All I find is that they don’t allow me to speak with anyone.Finally end up with head and ear ache.Its true I am not joking. I do agree that they are entertaining but these create noise pollution.


It was well said by one of the environmentalist that India is a pollution loving nation.”We burst crackers on Dussehara ,Diwali and on the occasions of marriages other festivals. Also equally fond of noise pollution. Using loudspeakers,amplifiers and marriages are accompanied by bands,twists ,Bhangras and light music(newly added)and the list goes on.”


We can change everything.If u want to have music play it very lightly so that the get together is not spoiled. Why should we unnecessarily create noise pollution.I have decided not to have a light music in my marriage instead play instrumental songs via cd players very lightly.I hope all my friends would also change their opinion.The name itself should speak .Be light,stay light and the rest will be right.
