Metallic foods and hygienic outlets

Today's article in Hindu alerts you about the reality of pollution damages. Owing to pollution created from sewage waste,industrial waste and other contamination from the city, the fruits and vegetables cultivated near urban area has heavy level of metal traces. Is organic food an alternate for this?. No since organic food is still dearer for most of the people. Government should take stringent action to reduce the water contamination.

Also, the waxing of Apples and the riping mechanism of mangoes using calcium carbide is another concern.

Another article, reflects the miserable state of the health department. The article points out that BBMP has only 4 health inspectors to inspect the food quality in 25000 eatouts in bangalore.

ATM non-functioning

I used to draw money from the ICICI bank ATM in our office premise using the Citibank Card. However, for the past 4 weeks all the request had been declined. Even with persistent reporting/queries the problem was not solved. Eventually, this is not the only case. Today an article in 'The Hindu' talks about the same issue with other banks. Would this be a collusion among banks which has more ATMs, after the government order to allow withdrawing money from any ATM ?.

Not a good replacement

Australia, once a unvanquishable team in cricket world, now have a keeper in Haddin who replaced Gilchrist, an outstanding sports person. Does Haddin make a perfect replacement for Gilchrist. I believe he never does. Probably with the batting skill in due course, not the sportsmanship of Gilchrist. Yesterday's incident reflects a bad state of cricket they are encouraging in Australia.
