     Dr.Muthulakshmi Reddy formed a Cancer relief fund in 1949, and with the support of the WIA she established the cancer hospital in 1954 in a small humble way and it has grown to one of the best  state – of – art Cancer hospitals in the world today.
    The Cancer Institute, since its inception has been carrying on a relentless fight against cancer under great odds. It has striven against near insurmountable obstacles of financial difficulties and an almost indifferent ambience, to fulfil the objectives of its founder ... bringing to the poorest in the land the most refined scientific technology and excellent patient care.The Cancer Institute (WIA) is a symbol of man’s eternal quest to conquer disease and an inspiration that reaches out to humanity.  
      The Institute is spread over 9 acres in Chennai, South India. The hospital houses 423 beds of which 297 are free. Over 1,25,000 patients are seen annually. They are drawn from all over India, parts of South and South East Asia. Over 66% of them are indigent and are treated free of charge. The hospital has state- of- the- art facilities for diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of cancer as well as rehabilitation. Living its mission of providing the state- of- the- art treatment to people with all types of cancers, the Institute is equipped with world class medical facilities. It houses a hospital, College of Oncological Sciences, an exclusive division for Preventive Oncology and a research center.

Extra Terrestrials - WOW what a show! A big thanks to SHOW SPACE for bringing this fantastic event to CHENNAI!

"FEARLESS ENTERTAINERS" - a well coined phrase to bring out the spirit of the show!

The Russian contortionist trio

- Redefines entertainment,
- Holds you on the edge of the seat spellbound!
- One event after the other leaves you breathless,dazzled and wanting for more.
- The performers are artistes who are masters in their acts and take the audience on a roller coaster ride
- The stage and the venue could have been slightly larger...
- Eagerly waiting for the next bigger spectacle
- 75 minutes just flew away and I really wanted to rewind and see it again
- Well organised, thoughtful space for parking provided at St.Ebbas School grounds nearby.
- really wish that these shows are conducted all across the country!
- The roller skate duo invited a member of the audience and spun him around a few seconds much to the joy of all. He was dazed for a few seconds and recovered much to his delight.

Heat Pad - A Wonderful pain reliever!

The heat pad is a great find from an exhibition in Chennai. A fine health care product.
I have used it as a external heat pad on muscle pain, sprains and also for knee pains. It is very handy, reusable, retains heat longer and effective in soothing muscle pains! Very good for SCIATICA!

The Heat Pad is made from sodium acetate (salt) and water and is therefore extremely safe. The sodium acetate is a type of salt that is excellent at cooling and exists as a liquid when combined with water at room temperature.

However, if you 'Click' the metal disc, it momentarily increases the temperature of the molecules surrounding the disc, setting off a chain reaction amongst the adjoining molecules and thus heating the pad.

The pad will stay warm for up to 2 hours and can be moulded and applied to any area. To return the pad to its original state, simply pop it into boiling water on the stove for 5 -10 minutes until the pad has totally returned to gel.

You're then ready to re-use as many times as you like!

IS IT SAFE?

Yes, the Heat Pad is made from Non Toxic materials and is totally safe. It contains Sodium Acetate (SALT) and water.

HOW HOT DOES IT GET?

The Heat Pad will increase to a safe temperature of 54 degree C / 130 Degree F once activated.

HOW LONG DOES IT STAY HOT FOR?

Although this is dependant on the environment, on average the Heat Pad will remain hot for 1 - 2 hours.

HOW MANY TIMES CAN I USE IT?

This is the great part, the Heat Pad can be re-used as many times as you like!

WHAT USES DOES IT HAVE?

You can use the Heat Pads for any situation where constant durable heat is required. We find that most of our clients use them for general aches and pains such as stiff necks, back aches or menstrual pains. We also see a great deal of people using them for camping and hiking not only for comfort but also as a back up emergency heat source. In general, just about any situation where a constant durable heat source is needed, the Heat Pad is up to the task. The Heat Pad also works in reverse and can be used as a Cool Pack, simply freeze overnight and it will stay Ice Cold for hours.

I have used this and very effective and reusable...good for sciatica, muscle pains, aches!

Seen your Birth certificate (BC)

Did you see your Birth certificate on the web? It applies to those who were born in the city of Chennai ( earlier called Madras). It was nice to see one's own birth certificate  (BC) on the net and also get a soft copy downloaded free of charge. Not many would have even a copy of their BC and this is one you can get from searching through this website:

One has to enter just two data strings out of the many criteria asked and the gender is compulsory.

Even death certificates of our ancestors could be viewed and downloaded

This is a welcome step by the corporation of chennai and congrats to them for bringing this data online and making it freely accessible!
