Top 5 Best schools Near Siruseri, Kelambakkam - OMR in Chennai

I have compiled the list of top 5 schools near Siruseri, Kelambakkam, OMR in Chennai and few notes about it. Hope this post will be surely useful for parents who are looking for their kids school admission.

Velammal Vidyashram Mambakkam:

Velammal Vidyashram has started functioning from the academic year 2014-15. It is located in the Vandalur-Kelambakkam main road. We have got admission for my kid in this school. The school is already having lot of branches. So many people in Tamil Nadu are aware of this school. Since Velammal schools are there in lot of locations in Tamil Nadu. I have lot of expectation from this school since Velammal schools well known for their standard.

When I asked few other friends, they said that the school used to have good academic performance and more importance will be given to studies. One of my neighbor told me that her son was very good and well disciplined when he was studying in one of the velammal schools. She told that the performance and perfection had dropped after changing the school due to their relocation.

Also, they carefully select teachers and give 2 months training to the Kinder garten teachers. The training is must for them. So, I feel assured of the quality of teachers.

The transportation fees is so high and we need to pay the one year fee in a single shot.

PSBB Siruseri(Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan):

PSBB has started its branch in Siruseri recently. It is located inside the L&T apartment near Siruseri IT park. So, preference is given to L&T residents. Very few seats are given for outsiders. There is lot of process involved and so many factors they consider for admission. They start the admission process late when compared to other schools. The results are also announced late. By that  time, other good schools close admissions. So, people residing outside L&T apartment have to think about other options as well. The school does not have transportation facility currently. You need to arrange transport on your own. As PSBB KK Nagar branch has good reputation, PSBB siruseri is also considered as a good school. The school fee is less and affordable when compared to other good CBSE schools near Kelambakkam.

Gateway International School, Padur - Chennai:

Gateway International School is one of the international schools located near Kelambakkam, Chennai. They are continually growing. The fee structure is on higher side. It has good transportation facility. They operate American Internation School and CBSE school in Padur. Most of the parents are satisfied with the school performance. If you are located near Kelambakkam, Siruseri and Navalur and looking for international school, you can consider this school as one of the options.

Maharishi Vidya Mandir, DABC Chennai:

This is the right school if you are looking for a good CBSE school with low fee structure comparatively. The other branches of this school has good academic records with top rankings in exams. Since Polacheri branch has started only few years before, we need to wait to know its academic performance. PSBB Siruseri is also having low fee structure but getting admission is very tough there. So, if you are a parent who is looking for good CBSE school with affordable fee structure and  living outside L&T Siruseri apartment, you can choose MVM polacheri. It has good transportation facilities. MVM is already well established school with lot of branches in whole India. The main problem is the location. It is located interior from the Vandalur-Kelambakkam main road and currently the location is having nothing other than the DABC apartment. Since school provides good bus facility, you can enquire more details in the school.

This branch is accessible for the people residing near Vandalur Kelambakkam road, Mambakkam, Medavakkam and its surroundings.

Hiranandani Upscale School(HUS), OMR, Chennai:

Hiranandani Upscale school is one of the best schools which offers international programme along with CBSE programme in OMR. They have started international programme from 2014 academic year. School is recognized by CBSE authority. They offer Pre KG to X std as of now. They have transportation facility. Fees is on higher side. Some of my friend's children are studying there. Few of them like the school very much. If you are a parent residing near kelambakkam and looking for international programme, you can go and check the school for more information. It is located inside the Hiranandani Upscale Apartment. Chances of getting admission is high.

My Listerine Cool Mint Mouthwash review:

As it is a cool mint product, it has a nice mint flavor and makes me to feel cool during rinsing and even after rinsing. The mouth wash is in blue color. It is packed in a normal plastic bottle and it is easy to use. You might need to keep it in a plastic cover while travelling to avoid the content getting spilled out. The fragrance is good and the smell spreads out well every time I open the bottle. I feel good after rinsing with the mouth wash. I feel my mouth is fresh all the time if I use the Listerine Mouth wash twice a day continuously. I do not need to worry about bad breath when I use it.

If you ask me whether it is good for your health or it has any side effects, I do not know seriously. You can predict based on the ingredients. You can also consult a doctor.

L Shaped Kitchen Layout - Design Ideas with pictures

L shaped kitchen layout is the most preferred layout if you have less space for kitchen or rectangular kitchen. It is a popular layout followed by many of the apartment builders since it takes less space compared to other kitchen layouts. The buyers are looking for bigger living rooms and bedrooms. Whereas they do not have much focus on the kitchen space. Since L shaped kitchen layout provides more rooms for building bigger living rooms and bedrooms, it is the most preferred layout for many people.


What is L Shaped Kitchen Layout:


If a layout of a kitchen has two adjoining walls perpendicular to each other, it is called L shaped kitchen layout.

Advantage of L shaped kitchen layout:


1. The storage spaces are easily accessible.

2. You can have the work triangle at its best. It is easy to have sink, stove and refrigerator close to each other in L shaped kitchen layout.

5. Looks very neat and decent.

8. Optimum utilization of corner space.

Papanasam - Way to go!!

papanasam



Little about this picture:

This picture was taken in Papanasam. It is a famous picnic spot in Tirunelveli. It is 60km from the heart of Tirunelveli. There are lot of tourist spots available in Papanasam. Sivan temple is famous temple for worship. Agasthiyar falls is another popular tourist spot no one should miss. Papanasam is situated at the bank of Thamirabarani river. Make sure you take a bath in the river and get bites from little fishes.. But be safe while bathing. It is a wonderful experience.  

The steps in the picture are in Papanasam dam. During childhood, I used to climb this stares up and down many times. Even now, I am seeing children climbing the steps up and down. How funny, it is..

Naturals Beauty Parlour(Beauty Salon) - My experience and Review

Hello friends,

This post is about my experience with Naturals Beauty parlour. They have so many branches right now. The cost is a bit high. Yes, I paid Rs. 871 for Layered hair cut and eye brow threading and this price is after they gave discount for having membership card. Local beauty parlours charge around Rs.250 - Rs.350 for layered hair cut. I had it done twice. If you find a good parlour having experienced stylist, you can do with the hair cut with them. That is what I did in the last year when I was in my old house. After moving to the new house, I was not able to find a good beauty parlour. Since I did not want to take a risk, I went to Naturals beauty parlour last week.


Naturals Beauty Salon review:


1. The ambiance is so good. You feel so comfortable spending time there unlike local beauty parlours.

2. I have seen them using sterilized/disinfected scissors and other instruments. This is very important. Right?

3. They have only professional stylist with lot of practice. You can feel this when they do service for you. Till now, I have gone to 3 different branches of Naturals and the employees are well experienced. There might be few exceptional people. I did not encounter one till now.

4. The parlour is well equipped. They have each and every equipment, shampoo, conditioners and all other needs in place all the time.

5. They use only costly and professional shampoos, conditioners and other items.

6. If you go for hair cut, they wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. I do not know what else they used. In local parlours, they would ask you to have hair wash and come for hair cut. You do not need to wash your hair if you are going for Naturals salon.

7. In some parlours, they will ask you to come in different timing for different services. For eg, when I went to a nearby parlour last year for a step cut, they asked me to com between 6 - 7 PM. But in Naturals, you have to just walk in and come back with style.

Please do not forget to get membership card when you go next time. You have to pay Rs.500. You can get service in any of their branches in discounted price for 2 years, I think. When the membership duration comes to end or you want to terminate, you can avail a service for Rs.500.


So, these are things I wanted to share with you about Naturals salon. If you have any good or bad experience, share with us in the comments section.
