my interpretation of tneb bill – electricity – chennai clab10 – arihant apartments

call center no for doubts : 94987-94987

name of customer : prema and sathish ( joint property owners)

sc no : 01272-0071202

bill date = 3 aug 2023
payment by 23 aug 2023
bill collected once in 2 months
previous bill amount Rs 857 paid on 28th june 2023
7 kw load with 0.95 power factor
it is a smart meter – meter no is 5783033
previous reading was 3074/3411 and now reading is 3899/4280.

so assessed units = 825 units –

so for 825 units, the energy charges is Rs 5328

there’s a govt subsidy of Rs 528, hence rounded off bill is Rs 4800 approx

how can energy charges be so high ?

1. it is smart meter, so almost negligible chance of meter tampering or meter fault
2. however tneb office has got grievance redressal dept where, if u give written complaint, they will come and check i think
3. other reasons why high energy – if any equipment in house which has led to overload – eg geyser is on by mistake for days together, maybe some other equipment, maybe some shortcircuit or some electrical problem

so steps :

because rough consumption shud be 4-6 units per day maximum. we will then know if any problem in any of our devices

electrician shud come and check and see if all is ok

if so, then we shud visit tneb office ( near underbridge) and give complaint

else we must just pay up. maybe ? some mistake at our end, and then check readings on daily basis and see if the consumption is ok

spoke to raman. it will be cleaned up imm

written to the association ( ssnoa ( sterling sharda nivas owners association) ( the whole gp) – will chat / talk to them ( am sure they will back) and re-stress

regarding the “private partition”, raman says that it is a 18-yr old structure which has been done at the time of building, and is explicitly given in C-304’s sale deed/agreement etc. but in any case, will take a dekko when I visit sometime, and try to understand the issue ( after all, none of the other owners wud want any “encroachment”, right?)
wud earnestly need your ground support ( coord with raman etc) towards completion. if things going awry, feel free to summon me. till then, let me stay rested in my cocoon, what with all this bad weather

gud evening to respected ssnoa folks

our tenants have strongly complained recently about the mess on the common terrace. they have sent us several photos of discarded furniture, dog poop at a few places etc.

we did connect with Kodandaraman directly on this, but he himself suggested that I put this matter on the group, for everyone’s attention.

there is probably no need to send the snaps themselves in this forum, but seek your quick support/direction,both for the cleaning/clearing-up for now, and for the future as well.

thanks to all (esp the resident-owners) for the awesome vibrancy of the community and the various efforts towards the premise’s upkeep from time to time.

hi c303 folks -on the mess at the common terrace

will imm speak to kodandaraman(raman) about this, and have them cleaned up asap. will also circulate this in the sharda group, and if needed speak to the assn secy

it probably will get a knee-jerk reaction now, but wrt having it remain clean, need ur activism and constant watchout, and rap raman abt this

private structure on the terrace

this is quite concerning. i assume u are talking about the white grill. will ask raman about this, and i need to escalate to the MC to handle this. will make a trip to sharda in near future to see what we can do

car parks

as we discussed y’day, i do hope u guys have complete ownership of the two car parks. u are paying for them as well, so u better monetise them ( which is why we have even included a clause in the agreement that u can sublet the car parks).

Dear Rydes Auckland Team,

My name is “Sathish”.

We are a middle-aged couple traveling from India, to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary at Auckland at your hotel.

The booking is in the name of my wife “Ms Rajani Rao” ( booked thru Agoda).

We are arrving around 5pm on 27th Feb ( Thursday). Our wedding anniversary is on 28th Feb (Friday), so the small celebration in our room will be on the night of 27th Feb ( thursday 1155pm onwards).

I wanted to know if you can help me with a couple of things :
a. A small cake to be brought to our room around 1145pm or so ?
b. Any other special decoration or something similar at the room, to surprise my wife.

Grateful for your attention and assistance. Pl do respond to my mail id. Just some small symbolic arrangement is good enough. If any payment is needed, pl inform and i shall do so immediately

at madiwala police station waiting for my ooty bus. left home at 735, ran 13.2 km in 2 hours 2 min, ie reached my destination at 937pm. walked 200 m ahead to krishna grand hotel, had fresh lime soda, went to washroom, sat for sometime sipping soda, back 200 m to the police station bus stop, bought cold water rs 10, found a place to sit, waiting for my bus now, it is 10.09 pm now

google fit has split my walk into 3 parts – 10 mins, 1 hr 48 mins, and 18 min – as u can see above . it has labeled the first and third as “walk” and the 2nd one ( 1 hr 48 min) as “run”. it has captured the distance as 1 km, 11.73 km and 0.78 km. so total 13.6 km. u may ask why the slow speed of 6.5 kmph. my excuse – full traffic on road. i was carrying my luggage. hence…
why am i leaving for ooty now instead of tomrow morn? i got a call from mayura travels in afternoon. they are canceling tomorow daytime 8am bus due to bandh, hence offered me a seat in today 1030pm bus to ooty

bus reached ooty bus stand at 915am. walked 100 m to rks hotel, used their washroom, had pongal vada tea rr 90 / 945am i walked to hotel darshan which is just opp boat house. 3 km away. reached 1025am, they asked me to wait since checkin time is at 12 noon only. sit in reception for 30 min, they gave room at 11am. i was seeing some jio movie, then tried to sleep for sometime, got up at 130 after restless sleep, walk towards hotel tamilnadu ( bib collection there). enrout did lunch at thendral hotel, 230pm to 3pm. walk to bib collection, reached at 315pm. filled indemnity, got bib, collected full kit. it is raining heavily so waiting in shade and writing this

plan is this. full rest from now on. 8pm dominos extra cheese pizza, 12 midnite ( at sleep time), 1 or 2 milkshakes. 5am get up, 1 banana imm, try my best to do some kakka ( to try to reduce my deadweight). not sure about bath. at 530, put on vaseline, get dressed, start having redbull alongwith one more banana. reach venue at 6am ( it is just 5 min from my hotel). no warmup, no exercise. 610am have water from water bottle, throw into bin, 615 starting mat point, run begins 

spoke to pramod. he started about 15 min later ( some car problem). anyway the timing mat measures corrrectly so no issues. he finished his 15k in 2 hrs 15 min or so. i was shattered on hearing this ( mine was 2.18-odd) . anyway, raaji – why dont u also speak to him ? i was taking rest when he called just now

woke up. had a v long call with pramod again.

1. he came with family to cheer him up 
2. they came yday. they also leavinh tomorow only
3. they are staying in airbnb.morning 530am, their car cud not get into the road bcos of crater due to yday rains. so they booked a cab, reached venue by 650, he started race then.
4. he had practised for 4 months under coach kay ( kannan sundarrajan). daily workouts, exercise and run schedule, weekly offline meetups, 6 eggs a day and proper dieting etc
5. he got a time of 2.15 approx. he will share the sms when he receives
6. we told each other that we will come back for the next edition of ooty ultra. but more immediately, lets meet as families, in blr. we can have a chat and re-live this experience
7. i generally want to chill ( and his airbnb is 6-7 km away so not meeting them in ooty. so we will meet up in blr
8. he also loved the experience, arrangements etc. my body is paining everywhere, but he is pain-free

As u know, myself and pramod had participated in 15K ooty ultra ( 23 march 2025). 15K was for beginner categ – just two age groups : <45 and <45 (Note : There was 30K all the way to 90K for superhumans).

So, i did my run in 2.20 hours. Pramod joined the race some 15 min later due to some car breakdown ( we dont know exact time). Anyway his certificate says 2.35 hours.

The 15K path was 3km of ooty town, 8 km of climb up Doddabetta peak ( 600 m elevation approx), climb down plus level ground, till the tea gardens the remaining distance.

There were 484 registrations in the 15K of which 465 ran. Of them, 401 finished the run. So my position was 214/401 overall ( almost in the middle) . In my age group (>45), i was 41st out of 108. I did the first 10.5 km in 1.41 ( means, i wud have taken 1.32 hrs for doing a 10K) where i was 227th position. I then managed to cross 13 people and reached 214th position at the end of the run.

Pramod’s certificate says 282/401. He had done a 4-month program under Coach Kay. As for me, i just came back from NZ and practice-walked for 2-3 times before my run.

chilpu – u know that i always jump at any opportunity, internship etc. but this job can be done by any collegian, it hsd nothing to do with hitech. personally i prefer u spend ur time enhancing tech skills than “global marketing skills” for now. so my vote is to skip. but fwding to raaji, na1 for their views too

 Respected Sir/Madam,

We are parents of “Ms Nisha Sathish”, Btech Electrical Engg 1st year student, EE23B130, Room no 619, Swarnamukhi Hostel

The child has been sick for the last three days ( between 101 to 103 degree temperature), and has been consulting with the institute Hospital. Diagnostic tests were done today evening ( Sunday, 30th March 2025, 6pm), and will be followed by more tests during tomorrow, to check for dengue.

Meanwhile, we are leaving by car from Bengaluru, to reach by 10am-12 noon tomorrow ( Monday, 31st March 2025). We are planning to be with the child for 2 days, so we seek accomodation at Taramani Guest House for 2 days, ie : 31st March 2025 to 2nd April 2025.

Since the student is unable to move, we shall comply with all formalities like hostel warden form-filling etc after we reach. We spoke to Mr Praveen of TGH, who advised us to mail them as well as the Dean ( student affairs).

Thank you for your kind assistance and support.

Regards,

Sathish ( father of Nisha) ( ph – 9886730012 and s@es22.com)

on tuesday, raaji fixed my sakra medical exam for friday morning. so only 3 days to prepare. so, tue was 18km, wed was 23.6 km and today was 24.1 km. so, approx 20km walk every day, spanning 4 hours.

i know u guys will scoff at this “crash course”, which may not have any impact on hba1c, but i am hoping atleast FBS ( Fasting Blood Sugar) readings come ok. Though i hv tried my best, it looks like too little too late – so i may start taking diabetes medicines from tomorrow. and who knows what else health complications which they discover tomorrow? lets see

your culture, it seems !
ur first foto – this is right on station road where arihant apt id
ur 2nd foto – my childhood regular restaurant where we had our breakfast in dec 2024

pl confirm this – do u need a majestic pickup or a krpuram metro station pickup tomorow?

• all tests done.
• doctor consultation has to be done the next day of the test, as per their rules. since tomorrow is very sacred, have booked doctor meeting for monday
  -have been getting reports every 10 mins on the sakra mobile app. have downloaded all of them, attached and sent them here
• i will either reach home, collate, eliminate the duplication, and present it. else if anyone is in hurry to view, please see : there are 11 pdfs in all each of different kb size. however there is lot of duplication, so pl beware
  Readings and my comments ( based on report come so far) (hba1c has not come as of now) –
• fbs is 119 ( it was 129 last time)
• sgpt is 15. it shud be 17-63
• mchc is 31.6 ( range is 32-35)
• mpv is 9.9 ( range is 6.2 to 9.4)
• urine specific gravity is 1.030 ( it shud be upto 1.022). why ?
• cholesterol, surprisingly is 183 ( upto 200 is low risk, meaning i have controlled very well). first time in last 10-15 years this is the reading
• even HDL – i used to get under 30. Now it shows 35 ( even though normal range is 40-60)
• some chol readings are good. chol/hdl it is 5.23 ( range is upto 5). even then, have not seen such good readings last 15 yrs
• ldl-cholesterol is borderline – 143 – but still better than earlier
• tsh is 4.93 ( range is upto 4.2) ???
• ultrasound talks about grade-2 fatty infiltration ( which happens all the time)
• when i went for my chest-xray, the 2D echo, the ECG – the technicians said all is ok. till now only got the chest X ray report, which is also attached here. i also did my eye, they said some power ( as usual) and gave some eyedrops for eye dryness ( i splash water every now and then. it is due to dry eyes). also he strictly advised not to do night-driving
• tmt was not done since not part of package. will do it after doc consult ( and his prescription thereof) on monday

for na2 pickup from chennai –

to meet her sometime on 16th ( fri) at her campus – and get back by eod

options –

1. sats leaves in 16th morning duster, brings her same eve.
2. both rb and sats leave in morn, bring her back eve
3. sats, rb reach chennai by 15th aft, stay overnite, bring her back 16th eve
   4.sats,rb, na1, oreo reach chennai by 15th aft, back 16th eve
4. sats alone goes in duster, reaches 15th aft, parks at swarna, walks to local hotel right outside campus, back with na2 on 16th

for all of ur comfort, my reco is option 1 or 5. but any option is fine. pl decide, i will have to do hotel bookings acc ( novotel and a few others are pet-friendly) Taramani Guest House is jam-packed, not available. it is holiday time and earlier we do hotel booking, the better

am going for our 5 friends’ get-together on Saturday, 26 April. Leaving home at 1130am, back by 4. We are going to “Cubbon Pavilion”, ITC Gardenia, which, by the way, is the costliest buffet in town. Sundar and Mohan treat for their 50th bday is pending, hence this get-together

I got two silvers( one for tennis and 400m relay) and two bronze( one for 100m relay and 400m individual) certificates for relays isn’t there yet

awesome choodakka – 4 medals in all, right ? Two of blue and yellow each. they hv even given ur timing upto three digits !

raajakka – u shud note the time of sending of these messages – 330am. means – once she is here in two weeks, we shud be ready for a nocturnal creature in our midst!

chilpu – for summer school etc why are u even looking the open market like oxfordsummercoursesetc ? smail will provide u with enof opportunities and avenues. so unless it comes from huge reco by ur seniors/friends ( or u desperately want a particular subject), no need to look at it so seriously. i have heard great things about MIT open edu courses / lectures. If that is also talked about in ur campus, then go for it.

na1/na2 – all morning, i thought deep and hard about the 2nd pet to our home.

positives

1. companion for oreo
2. we had also told ourselves at time of snowy’s passing that we will bring home an abandoned pet

negatives =

1. extra work becomes 0.3x to 0.5x of current work “x” – and primarily for me, since u guys will be around only for vacation in the future. and rajani has 4 days office soon.
2. will oreo be able to adjust to the new pet ? i also spoke to usha ballal. her opinion is : it happens 50/50. so it they dont adjust, can the new one be sent back ? doubtful
3. fyi-“terrier” has several subbreeds. some of them grow big, some medium, some small

i discussed with rb briefly. she is not too keen at the moment because of the current intel tension (A), though she is also not too anti. from my side, i have my health struggles – 15 july is my next health check (B).

so, i suggest we put this off till both A and B are done with. We anyway get “forwards” all the time in the vista dog gp, of abandoned pets. so at a later time ( sooner than later), lets re-visit this ask of u guys, and take a view. For now, lets skip
