Three claps, silence, lights off.
You hold your breath as the cosmic world revolves around you – twinkling stars, shooting meteoroids, the rotating solar system and the undulating contours of the red planet, Mars.
The spectacular show is a great experience that almost makes you feel one with the sparkling universe.
Welcome to the latest show at the Periyar Science and Technology Center in Kotturpuram.
There is a Science Center and a planetarium here. There are eight galleries on themes related to Physical Science, Transport, Electronics & Communication, Energy, Materials Science, Life Science, Innovation, International Dolls and Children, with over 500 exhibits of the interactive variety, makes a visit to the Center a thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening experience.
The planetarium is home to the most modern, sophisticated and versatile GM II projector. The accompanying special effects projector, recreates some of the most awe-inspiring heavenly phenomena on the specially perforated aluminum inner dome.
This planetarium is fully computerized and seats 236 at any given time.

Equally impressive is the Traffic Park that keeps you abreast of the latest road safety measures.

Get acquainted with the working utilities of solar energy, wind energy and bio-gas in the energy park. An entire forest has been simulated in the eco park - water, plants, life models of animals, the lion, tiger and deer - these are the crowd-pullers.
The Meteorological Observatory might well be the answer to most of your queries on the celestial phenomena.

Free buttermilk for parched throats
By Mayuri Srinivas
Those who pass through Dr. Ranga Road in Mylapore may notice a small shamiana put up on the pavement and a group of volunteers hard at work here. Well, the group is rendering a small service this summer.
These people are volunteers of Shri Sai Baba Trust based at 'Sundaram', off Chamiers Road. They have been distributing buttermilk to the passersby so that people can be refreshed.
With mercury shooting above 40 degree Celsius, ordinary people who cannot afford to pay for ice creams and fruit juices, relish this free offer of buttermilk.
Pedestrians, elderly people, rickshaw-pullers, courier boys and labourers stop at this stall and enjoy the drink. The place is crowded but there is sufficient stock of buttermilk.
The volunteers say that this summer service has been going on for about 15 years at the very same place.
The volunteers run it through May every year.
Everyday, two donors pay for making about 500 litres of buttermilk - to be served in two sessions - from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and from 11 a.m. to 2 p. m. There are about 5 volunteers who help in serving the buttermilk.
The buttermilk is home-made by the donors. The donors have to register themselves at the 'Sundaram' office. The volunteers who serve the buttermilk take turns to render service through May.

Caring for Squirrels
By Sameeksha Asher
Subhashini Raghavan loves animals.
For many years, this resident of Gandhi Nagar, Adyar has been a volunteer at a city animal shelter place. For the past five years, she has been taking care of sick, injured or 'lost' squirrels
Subhashni adopts baby or handicapped squirrels and looks after them. “Squirrels aren’t supposed to be tamed. We can look after them for 3-4 months but later we have to set them free. It would be cruel to domesticate these animals as they are part of urban wildlife,” says Subhashini. However if a squirrel is handicapped one can look after it for a longer time, she adds.
Subhashni was in touch with Clarisa Summers of Texas, USA who guided her on taking care of squirrels and giving them medical aid. Now Subhashini also guides people who wish to look after these animals.
So is it easy to take care of squirrels?
Subhashni said that baby squirrels are very friendly and don’t bite. However for the first two weeks it’s very important to feed them every four hours. As they grow old they are easy to manage. Also they should be let free in a room for at least 2 hours a day: otherwise they start biting.
“It is easy to take care of squirrels for a few months. They do not bite if you don’t harm them. We don’t even have to bathe them! They are very friendly creatures,” says Subhashni.
Currently, she has encouraged a small group of women volunteers to take care of squirrels. Since Subhashni is on the verge of 'retirement' she suggests that people can call Kritika (who also takes care of squirrels) in case they want information on squirrels or want to adopt them.
Kritika’s phone number is 98406 14053
