நீ வருவாயான காத்திருபேன் பற்பல ஆண்டு ஆயினும்
உன் நினைவு என்றும் விடியாத பகல்கள் இல்லை
என்று பொழுது சாயா இரவுகள் இருந்தும்…
வெண்மதியில் தோன்றும் முயல்லினிடம் நான்
என் மதியை பறிகொடுத்தேன்.... நான் அதை மீட்கமாடேன் என்றேன் அல்லேன்….
ஆயின் உன்னிடம் பறிகொடுத்த இதயத்தை நான் என் செய்வேன்…
விடியலிலும் உன் நினைவு தன் விடியும்…
என்றும் மறையா சூரியன்
தலை மறையா நிலவு
உன் நினைவுகள் பல இல்லை… ஆயினும்,
இரவு பகல் என்பது இல்லை அந்த இனிய நினைவுகளுக்கு …
உன்னை கண்டு பற்பல நாட்கள் ஆயினும்
மனதில் மறையா வெளிச்சம் உன் அழகிய கண்களைப்போல …
ஆண்டு பரப்பல ஆயினும் உனக்காக காத்திருபேன்…

Please Save Energy....!
Here are few tips to save power...
Lighting
• Switch off lights and fans when not required.
• Replace bulbs with tube lights & CFL(Compact Flourescent Lamps).
• Utilise natural light by using electronic chokes & regulators.
• Optimise use of lights in malls, multiplexes & hotels.
• Turn off the lights when not in use.
• Take advantage of daylight by using light-coloured, loose-weave curtains on your windows to
allow daylight to penetrate the room. Also, decorate with lighter colours that reflect daylight.
• De-dust lighting fixtures to maintain illumination.
• Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it.
• Compact fluorescent bulbs are four times more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs and
provide the same lighting.
• Use electronic chokes in place of conventional copper chokes.
Electric iron
• Select iron boxes with automatic temperature cutoff.
• Use appropriate regulator position for ironing.
• Do not put more water on clothes while ironing.
• Do not iron wet clothes.
Fans
• Replace conventional regulators with electronic regulators for ceiling fans.
• Install exhaust fans at a higher elevation than ceiling fans.
Refrigerator
• Do not open door frequently.
• Set thermostat in medium cooling position.
• Keep adequate space from wall.
• Do not overload the refrigerator.
• Defrost your refrigerator regularly.
• Regularly defrost manual-defrost refrigerators and freezers; frost buildup increases the amount
of energy needed to keep the motor running.
• Leave enough space between your refrigerator and the walls so that air can easily circulate
around the refrigerator.
• Don't keep your refrigerator or freezer too cold.
• Make sure your refrigerator door seals are airtight.
• Cover liquids and wrap foods stored in the refrigerator. Uncovered foods release moisture and
make the compressor work harder.
• Do not open the doors of the refrigerators frequently.• Don't leave the fridge door open for longer than necessary, as cold air will escape.
• Use smaller cabinets for storing frequently used items.
• Avoid putting hot or warm food straight into the fridge.
Washing Machine
• Use after 10 PM or before 10 AM.
• Run washing machine only with full load.
• Use the shortest cycle time.
• Always wash only with full loads.
• Use optimal quantity of water.
• Use timer facility to save energy.
• Use the correct amount of detergent.
• Use hot water only for very dirty clothes.
• Always use cold water in the rinse cycle.
• Prefer natural drying over electric dryers.
Geyser
• Use before 10 AM.
• Switch off when not required.
• Reduce thermostat setting from 60º to 50º C.
• Use Solar Water Heater - a good replacement for a electric water heater.
Mixers
• Avoid dry grinding in your food processors ( mixers and grinders) as it takes longer time than
liquid grinding.
Microwave Ovens
• Consumes 50 % less energy than conventional electric / gas stoves.
• Do not bake large food items.
• Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not even need to preheat.
• Don't open the oven door too often to check food condition as each opening leads to a
temperature drop of 25º C.
Electric Stove
• Turn off electric stoves several minutes before the specified cooking time.
• Use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the cooking coil.
Gas Stove
• When cooking on a gas burner, use moderate flame settings to conserve LPG.
• Remember that a blue flame means your gas stove is operating efficiently.
• Yellowish flame is an indicator that the burner needs cleaning.
• Use pressure cookers as much as possible.• Use lids to cover the pans while cooking.
• Bring items taken out of refrigerators (like vegetable, milk etc.) to room temperature before
placing on the gas stove for heating.Air Conditioning
• Ensure proper sealing of doors and windows.
• Set thermostat at 24º C for optimum cooling.
• Clean AC filter every month.
• Use film / tinted glass on windows.
• Prefer air conditioners having automatic temperature cut off.
• Keep regulators at "low cool" position.
• Operate the ceiling fan in conjunction with your window air conditioner to spread the cooled air
more effectively throughout the room and operate the air conditioner at higher temperature.
• Seal the doors and windows properly.
• Leave enough space between your air conditioner and the walls to allow better air circulation.
• A roof garden can reduce the load on Air Conditioner.
• Use windows with sun films / curtains.
• Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer. The less difference between
the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower will be energy consumption.
• Don't set your thermostat at a colder setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner.
It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessive cooling.
• Don't place lamps or TV sets near your air-conditioning thermostat. The thermostat senses heat
from these appliances, which can cause the air conditioner to run longer than necessary.
• Plant trees or shrubs to shade air-conditioning units but not to block the airflow. A unit
operating in the shade uses as much as 10% less electricity than the same one operating in the
sun
