Rombha Nandri --- Ta--- Vandanegalu--- Ozasro dhanyabadi ---Valarey nandhi

I'd noticed that my blog count was showing 100 posts for this blog and to be honest I was a little surprised. A big thanks to all of you who have endured my writing over the last year and a half. I have completed a century of blog posts and am grateful to all my readers.

Now, I don't know if other people are having the same thoughts as me, or if I'm having the same thoughts of other people. Art reflecting life, life reflecting art and all that. But it seems people are being quite reflective of their own blogging.... Since i believe in Introspective Reflection !! While I've been working in my current job, I've been absorbing more and reading lots which has culminated me quite a bit to say.

My blogs are actually nothing when compared to all others post... Since i find each of others expressing their views beyond 360 degrees. I am not sure how is this actually done ?

Bloody Born Thinkers & Writters (... I am really jealous over those freaks).

Let me sum-up some blogs which i enjoyed writting;

Think (like) Geek...

The Internet has made it okay (even cool) to be a nerd, and web designers should be thanked for making it happen.

It’s no fun wearing a tie every day, but perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad if they had an 8-bit tie from ThinkGeek. Check out the URL, The design is totally GIF-like, and best of all. I loved the idea.

Girls only @ Night ?

During the Tea time with Praveen, Rajesh, Anamika… We were commenting about the Shell–ODC girls… Everyone presented their opinion about girls, I said Girls should be treated as Moon*.

Just in a Flash!

Praveen questioned me without understanding the meaning “What you want them only during Night hours? “.
We were laughing in despite of the fact! Ha-ha ha… but that was very spontaneous reply from him, but meaningful :-)

* What I meant is just watch them from far; never ever try to get along with them.

Fit at Work !!


The lifestyle of "Softies" (that's how some people address software professionals), doesn't allow one to have some physical exercise in daily routine. But the tips below can really help you stay fit if followed regularly.

1) Keep a bottle full of water (not less than 1.5 liters) at your desk and finish it by the end of the day.
2) Eat one fruit every day (avoid banana & cheeku - they contain fat).
3) Step out of your desk often and have a walk around.
4) Minimize the use of lift. Use stairs instead.
5) Have a glass of milk daily. Milk is considered to be "Sampoorn Aahaar" (complete food).
7) Practice deep breathing once a day for 5 minutes.
8) Learn yoga (breathing exercises) and do it 2-3 times while working (that is the beauty of Yoga - you can do it even when you are sitting and working). Stretch for your arms and legs while sitting, Don't bend while walking or sitting.
9) Keep some healthy snacks (like dry fruits or fresh fruits or Aamla candy to name a few) in your desk drawer. Munch on it 2-3 times a day. Don't eat junk food.
10) Talk to people around you and smile. Even better if you can laugh. But do not gossip.

Expect more from yourself than from others;

B'coz expectation from others hurts while expectation from yourself inspires!!

Thanks to Praveen for Sharing it via Mail

Happy Days;

..... truly reflects campus life from Day 1 to Farewell Day. Its like watching a college campus video.

Story Out-Line;

Ego clash because of the guy wants to kiss the girl, Possesiveness, Junior - Senior difference in Love, Friendship, Love !!


Its the pleasant story of boys and girls studying in a college. Happy Days, that's part autobiographical and part imagination, portraiting eight fresher as they go through regular campus life experiences that include: studies, Ragging, Friendship,Love.

Fist half of the film goes with introduction of characters. Second half appears to be little dragged but thats totally necessary for what happens when four love stories are to be concluded. I like the pair Rajesh & Appu, awesome chemistry.

Direction;

Director dares to take a totally different approach to movie making and story telling. It's a wonder what Sekhar has done with eight raw talents that had hardly faced the camera before. He extracts the best from these chaps and makes the characters as real as it's possible. There are a lot of things to be learnt from the movie.For those that are still in college, Happy Days can provide a newer perspective of their campus lives.


Minus;

- I feel Director Shekar could have added a bit more about parent's -children friction and how they come to understanding.
- The film is good on a whole but it pleases only the audiences who are aware of campus education. It is not a right dish for typical mass audiences anyway. It appeals for multiplex audiences, educated crowds. So, might loose the collection from those crowd.
- One boy from Village was introduced very well, But there is a ending to that character without the justification how he managed to learn English, Communication ???
- Tyson doing some scientific tricks. The extent of the tricks should have been limited.


Plus;

+ Micki J Mayors music has a separate mark for itself.
+ Camera man has captured every expressions of the student reaction inside the classroom, in Fight & Songs with a very natural feel.


Impressed;

1. The separation scene of Tyson and Sravanthi is very fascinating.
2. The way he ended the love thread between Tyson and Sravanthi.( ha ha ... or else it would have been the message by the director that it is ok to love your senior girls in the college.)
3. Farewell Song.

I loved the message that director tried to present a boy's character is judged by the kind of girls he roams with,Then what ever you are before, The college life may fail you to achieve great academic rewards, but it will definitely give you the ability to achieve any thing. College Days are Happy Days. The days that follow college days are purposeful days.

Questioning Habits ... want some Loud Silences !

Many of you know this... I have the questioning habits a lot... At least for time pass, i do this to know things.... Many questions pops in my head.... ! But in Tamil there is a phrase "இடம், பொருள், ஏவல் !".... Means consider Place,Situation before Talking/conveying your thoughts..... So something has always stopped me in asking or I have left out in Fear/shyness.

Well, ... Then i thought why not i put those questions here through this blog?
If somebody could post a reply..I would at least get an answer !
OK... Here i go...

What happens to our soul after Death ?
what are the 3 main things needed to Man other than Food, Dress & Shelter ?

Petrol Hike... where is my understanding Wrong ??

Why are the only public sector oil refining companies bleeding all time? They are inefficient. The crude cost is only one part of the petrol cost, what about cost of refining and distribution etc? Our refineries are old and machinery fully depreciated. Why is our cost so high? It is a mischief to compare rates with those in some other countries. Even in USA, petrol is cheaper than in India,not even considering purchase price parity.The dollar has depreciated more than 15% since last one year, that has brought down the import bill. What about our own crude resources in Bombay High etc? What is ONGC giving the country? Do we have to pay the cost of imported crude even for our own national wealth? Is the production by ONGC insignificant? How come then it is one of the largest corporations?Many questions, but only answer given is oil companies are losing money.What a damned shame and what a mess the politicians and the public sectors have created here. But Reliance has never ever come up with such losses ? have they... May be i am note sure. *

When Mr.Chidambaram brought service taxes & (VAT) , he said nothing to worry, the tax is limited to limited services. In subsequent budgets his stands changed. Are they any differnt from what britishers did to us??

*am a Kid to Business world !

Note:
To my knowledge a Typcial crude oil refineries produces LPG, Gasoline, Kerosene, Diesel, Fuel oil, Lubricating oil, Paraffin wax, Asphalt and Tar as products...Even the residues are produced as Tar ! Even then why is this loss & High price ?..... The key answer is the DEMAND is going Higgggghhhhhh day by day. :-)

HEROISM in Movies... Still, how looooong ?

How can you watch Movies with the same old heroism for so many years? With Different Hero’s playing the same role? How can one Hero speak the truth and bash up 100 men or more? How long can we watch ageing heroes dancing with 20 0r 30 group dancers and wooing teenage heroines. How long can we watch the same old roles by heroes? Don’t we want to see new innovative scripts, screen plays, different performances like Mozhi, Paruthiveeran, Chennai-28, Kattradhu Tamizh, Veyil, Kaaka Kaaka, Unnaale Unnaale, Autograph, Thavamai Thavamirundhu, Vetayadu Vilayadu.

I agree Cinema is an entertainment medium and it has different faces. Every human has some colorful dreams and fantasies and when some are successful in bringing those dreams & fantasies in screen for people to enjoy, looses the reality & Repeating that in several movies, spoils the total commercial movies trend. Yeah! You can make movies with realities, fantasies, social awareness etc. People in different parts of the world have different taste; practices, choices and you will be an idiot if you say only my taste is THE BEST. I enjoy the masala movies of KS Ravikumar, Rajinikanth, Ajit, and Vijay and at the same time I watch and enjoy the movies of Cheran, Adoor Gobalakrishnan too. You do not have the right to criticize the taste of others. You can criticize the Barathanatyam in terms of Barathanatyam logistics but you can’t criticize Barathanatyam comparing to Kuchupodi. Watch Masala movies as Masala movies and Art films as art films. What matters is the Enjoyment... Entertainment!


I like to clarify that I am not a Tamil movie basher or any other language movies; I do respect all languages & their culture. In fact, I would like to know different kinds of cultures, traditions and practices…. which can only be watched in Movies, That’s the reason why I have started watching all languages & kinds of movies. I just don’t like heroism in all Indian/Hollywood movies without the reality. People call heroism as entertainment and I beg to differ here. What is an entertainment? 1 hero bashing up 100 people coming in trucks with swords? Good movies are Masala movies and Art movies are not entertaining movies. Many good movies have come in Bollywood movies like Chak De, Rang De Basanti, Life in a metro, Guru, Gandhi my father etc. But now a day’s lots of Hindi movies just exploit sex & women, most of the movies releases with 1 or 2 item songs… They just give importance to Glamour, than to the story. Different producers & Directors end up in making cheap sensual movies that tickle audience and fleece their pockets. Many movies are made with the label of art films but actually the producers, as George Orwell comments, ‘exploit white women's legs'. Actors also accepts the weird movie offers to favor the quick source of money. The value of true acting has ebbed out, now what remains is the exposure of flesh.

Thanks to the Directors who has made good enough movies & I... we Still expect more from you Brains !!

During the Childhood days… all your Teachers & Parents pressured us to score more marks to get Good rank… Then in high schools they again pressured you for scoring enough in order to get into good Engineering College… Soon after the graduation… Some how everyone gets in to the Job, though desired or not… STOP! I am not here to find fault with their pressures, because they got a valid reason for their stress… So you planned each & every essential steps very carefully... But, What NEXT? Marriage is the only answer from the Parents/Life??? Aren’t there any things else in life?? I just want to know....

N.B:
I am not here to discuss about Merits & demerits about Marriage.

TITLE: Why do one want to Marry in their life ?

I know this is quite EARLY for me to discuss this topic, But then this discussion happened yesterday with my pals in the MMK ... (weird ! what is MMK ? Mokkai Munetra Kalagam, Sorry for those who don't understand Tamil, I don't know Translation for this),we discussed about all possible issues, problems that one faces in their daily life after marriage… We all know that opinion differs from each person in different perspectives. So, What do you obtain after the so called marriages ? Satisfaction? Responsibility? … If you have had noticed in your life, you very well know how hard your parents struggled in their life in all aspects of life - Money, Security, Finance, Children & their Studies? ….why to struggle so much? Which makes ones mind narrow, Do you want such an operation of Marriage?

Why do U want to Marry ?
	Companionship !
	Traditional Practice !
	Can't escape ! That's the End !
	That completes the life !
	No Way ! Stay bachelor ! Rock !

Just want to hear from all of you !!

Thanks for the support !!

3 Minute Management Course

Lesson One:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"

The eagle answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.Management Lesson:To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.__________________________________________________ ________

Lesson Two:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey. "But I haven't got the energy.""Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull."They're packed with nutrients."The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enoughstrength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, aftereating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.Management Lesson:Bull shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.__________________________________________________ ________

Lesson Three:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out!

He laid there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lesson:

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

This ends the three minute management course.

Very CREATIVE .... எப்படி எல்லாம் யோசிக்கிராங்க ?

கற்றது Software !!

Note Before: Received it mail, But an ultimate Thot ! Hats off !கற்றது

கற்றது தமிழ் படம் பாக்கலைனாலும் அதை பற்றி படித்த விமர்சனங்கள் மென்பொருள் துறையினரை சாடுவதாக தெரிகிறது. இன்னைக்கு விலைவாசி ஏறனதுக்கு சாப்ட்வேர் இஞ்சினியர்கள் தான் காரணம்னு நிறைய பேர் சொல்லி கேட்டிருக்கேன். ஒரு வகைல அது உண்மையும் கூட. போன தடவை நான் இந்தியா போயிருந்தப்ப என் அண்ணன் (பெரியம்மா பையன்) இதை தான் சொன்னான் (அவன் சாப்ட்வேர் இல்லை).

மெட்ராஸ்ல இருந்து திருச்சி போகறதுக்கு ஏர் பஸ்ல போகலாம்னு போய் விசாரிச்சிருக்கான். ஒரு சீட் தான் இருக்குனு சொல்லியிருக்காங்க. அதே சமயம் ஒரு சாப்ட்வேர் இஞ்சினியரும் அங்க வந்திருக்கான். உடனே பஸ் கண்டக்டர் (ஏர் பஸ்ல இருக்கறவர் பேரு கண்சக்டரா இல்லை க்ளீனரா?) 100 ரூபாய் அதிகமா சொல்லியிருக்கான். உடனே என் அண்ணன் சாதாரண பஸ்ல போனா அந்த 100 ரூபாய்க்கு திருச்சிக்கே போயிடலாம்னு ஏர் பஸ்ல போகாம சாதாரண பஸ்லயே போயிருக்கான். நம்ம ஆளு (சாப்ட்வேர் தான்) நூறு ரூபா அதிகமா செலவு பண்ணி ஏர் பஸ்ல போயிருக்கான்.
இந்த இடத்துல தப்பு யார் மேலனு எனக்கு தெரியல. ஏமாந்தவன் ஒருத்தன் வரான், நூறு ரூபாய் ஏத்தி சொன்னாலும் சேர்த்து வாங்குவானு சொன்ன அந்த பஸ்காரன் மேல ஏங்க யாருமே தப்பு சொல்ல மாட்றீங்க? ஏமாத்தறவனைவிட ஏமாறவன் மேல ஏன் உங்களுக்கு எல்லாம் இந்த கோபம்? யாரும் விருப்பட்டு ஏமாறதில்லைங்க.

பெங்களூர்ல வீட்டு வாடகை ஏறிடுச்சினு எல்லாரும் சாப்ட்வேர் இஞ்சினியரை திட்றாங்க. ஆனா தலைக்கு ரெண்டாயிரம். நாலு பேர் தங்கினா எட்டாயிரம், இன்னொருத்தவன் வந்தா பத்தாயிரம்னு சொல்ற வீட்டு ஓனருங்க மேல ஏன் உங்க கோபம் போகலை? இன்ஃபோஸிஸ் இருபத்தைந்தாம் ஆண்டு விழாக்கு போனஸ்னு தராங்கனு சொன்னவுடனே பெங்களூர்ல வீட்டு வாடகையை ஏத்தனவங்க நிறைய பேர். ஆனா அவுங்க பேப்பர்ல கொடுத்த விளம்பரமும் கைல கொடுத்த காசும் கணக்கு பண்ணா மலைக்கும் மடுவுக்குமுள்ள வித்யாசம்.

இது மட்டுமில்லை. இந்த ஹோட்டல் எல்லாம் அதுக்கு மேல. ஒரு சிக்கன் பிரியாணி அறுபது ரூபாய். சைட் டிஷ் எல்லாம் நூறு நூத்தியிருபது. இப்படி தான். ஒரு ட்ரீட்னு 5 பேரோட போனா ஆயிரத்துல இருந்து இரெண்டாயிரம் வரைக்கும் தாராளமா செலவு ஆகும்.நம்ம ஆளுங்களுக்கு வாரத்துக்கு ஒரு தடவை இப்படி போயாகனும். ஆனா இருபத்தி அஞ்சு ரூபாய்க்கு கொடுத்த ஐட்டத்தையே அறுபது ரூபாய்க்கு ஏத்தனவங்க மேல ஏன் யாருக்குமே கோபம் வரல?

சாப்ட்வேர் இஞ்சினியர் இவ்வளவு சம்பாதிக்கிறானு சொல்றீங்களே. அவன் எவ்வளவு சேமிக்கிறானு யாருக்காவது தெரியுமா? ஒரு கிராமத்துல இருக்குற கவர்மெண்ட் பள்ளிக்கூட ஆசிரியர் சேமிக்கிறதைவிட கொஞ்சம் அதிகமா அவன் சேர்த்து வைக்கலாம். அவ்வளவு தான். அவனோட வாழ்க்கை முறை அவனை அதுக்கு மேல சேமிக்க விடறதில்லை. அதுல அவன் தப்பு எதுவுமில்லைனு நான் சொல்லலை. ஆனா அவன் தப்பு மட்டுமேனு எல்லாரும் சொல்றது தான் கஷ்டமா இருக்கு.

இருபத்தியொரு வயசுல எப்படியோ படிச்சி முடிச்சிட்டு வரான். கேம்பஸ்ல வேலை கிடைச்சா பரவாயில்லை. ஆனா அப்படி கிடைக்கலைனா அந்த வேலை கிடைக்க அவன் படற கஷ்டம் வேற எந்த துறைக்கும் குறைவானதில்லை. அப்படியே கஷ்டப்பட்டு வேலைக்கு போனவுடனே அவன் வாங்கற சம்பளம் அவனுக்கு ஒரு பெருமையையும், தலை கனத்தையும் தருது. நம்ம அப்பா இத்தனை வருஷம் கஷ்டப்பட்டு வாங்கறதைவிட அதிக சம்பளம் வாங்கறோம்னு ஒரு பெருமிதமும் (தெரியாமலே கொஞ்சம் கர்வமும் தானா வந்துடுது) வருது. ஆனா அவனுக்கு அந்த காசோட அருமை அவ்வளவா தெரியாது என்பது தான் உண்மை. அதுவுமில்லாம அந்த வயசும் அப்படி தான். ஜாலியா இருக்கனும். அவ்வளவு தான்.

ஆனா அந்த வயசுக்கே உரிய இரக்க குணமும் அவன்கிட்ட தாராளமா இருக்கும். சுனாமி வந்தப்ப காசை அள்ளிக்கொடுத்தவங்க நிறைய பேர். அதே மாதிரி நிறைய பசங்களுக்கு படிக்க உதவி செஞ்சவங்க நிறைய பேர் இருக்காங்க. நண்பர்களிடமிருந்து இந்த மாதிரி மெயில் வந்தா, அது உண்மைனு தெரிஞ்சா குறைஞ்சது ஆயிரம் ரூபாயாவது யோசிக்காம செய்யறவங்க நிறைய பேர். பத்து பேர் தங்கியிருக்குற இடத்துல ரெண்டு மூணு பேர் வேலைக்கு போனா அடுத்து எல்லாருக்கும் வேலை கிடைக்கிற வரைக்கும் அந்த வேலைக்கு போற மூணு பேர் மொத்த வாடகையையும் சாப்பாட்டு செலவையும் ஏத்துக்குவாங்க. வேலைக்கு சேர்ந்தவுடனே அந்த பசங்க எந்த ஊருக்கு போவாங்கனு யாருக்கும் தெரியாது. இங்கயும் அவன் காசை அதிகமா நேசிக்கறதில்லை.

சாப்ட்வேர் இஞ்சினியருங்க வாங்கற சம்பளமெல்லாம் மொத்தமா ரியல் எஸ்டேட்காரவங்ககிட்டயும், செல் போன் கம்பெனிகளிடமும், ஹோட்டல் ஓனருங்ககிட்ட தான் போய் சேருது. கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் தியேட்டர் ஓனருங்ககிட்டயும், ஏர் பஸ்காரங்கட்டயும் போய் சேருது. இன்னைக்கு நம்ம பார்க்கிற ஏற்றத்தாழ்வுக்கு இது தான் முக்கிய காரணம். பணக்காரன் ரொம்ப பெரிய பணக்காரன் ஆகறதுக்கு இது தான் காரணம். இப்படி சாப்ட்வேர் இஞ்சினியருங்ககிட்ட வர பணம் மொத்தமாக வேற ஒரு கும்பலால் பெறப்படுகிறது.

இதை கண்டிப்பா சாப்ட்வேர் மக்களால சரி செய்ய முடியாது. அரசாங்கம் ஏதாவது செஞ்சாதான் உண்டு. நம்ம அரசியல்வாதிகள்ல நிறைய பேருக்கு இதை புரிய வைக்கவே ரொம்ப கஷ்டப்படனும். சரி அதி புத்திசாலிங்களான மன்மோகன் சிங்கும், பா.சிதம்பரமும் இதையெல்லாம் பத்தி ஏதாவது செய்யறாங்களானு தெரியல.

கார், Furnished 3 BHK (Bed Room, Hall, Kitchenஆம்), சிக்கன் பிரியாணி இதையெல்லாம் விட ஒரு டூ-வீலர், அப்பா, அம்மாவோட இருக்குற வீடு, அம்மா கைல சமைச்ச ரசம், துவையல் இதெல்லாம் தாங்க சொர்க்கம். பெரு நகரங்களிலிருக்கும் சாப்ட்வேர் கம்பெனியெல்லாம் கொஞ்சம் சிறு நகரங்களுக்கு கொண்டு வந்து பாதி சம்பளம் கொடுத்தாக்கூட போதும். நம்ம ஆளுங்க எல்லாம் ஓடி வந்துடுவாங்க. அதை விட்டுட்டு நீ எப்படி நாற்பதாயிரம் சம்பாதிக்கலாம்னு சண்டை போடறதோ, புலம்பறதோ சரியில்லைங்க.

Software Companyயில் வேலை in Pulekesi Style.....

காலையில் 10 மணிக்கு வர வேண்டியது. கணிணியின் திரையை பார்த்துக்கொண்டே வேலை பார்ப்பது போல் நடிக்க வேண்டியது. மாலையில் 5 மணிக்கு வீட்டிற்கு அடித்து புரண்டு ஓட வேண்டியது. இதில் இடையில் ஒரு மணி நேரம் உணவு விடுமுறை வேறு. அதுமட்டுமன்றி இடையிடையில் 15-20 நிமிடங்கள் தேனீர் அருந்த ஓய்வு நேரம். கூடவே DORMல் உறங்க 40 நிமிடங்கள் சென்று விடும். ஐந்தறிவு ஜீவன்கள் போல் ஒரு வாழ்க்கை. Deadline வந்தால் மட்டுமே ஆறாவது அறிவிற்கு வேலை. கேட்டால் Software Companyயில் வேலை என்று பீற்றிக்கொள்வது

"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new."

My Mom

"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny."
"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life."

"Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible."

My Daddy

"How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted."
Always ……Love Your parents!

BEWARE: Autos @ Bangalore !
Please Do Not board Autos just from Front of an ATM.. walk a bit and Then board an Auto.

A person called Fiaz (Accenture Employee) went to Anand Rao Circle, Bangalore ICICI bank ATM last Saturday and drew Rs. 4000/- cash and took a auto standing in front of the ATM.

After 2 Minutes of drive this auto driver stopped the vehicle and made a phone call on his cell phone. Our guy didn't bother much and thought the auto driver may have some urgency.

The auto was going towards Majestic and in the next signal 2 hefty guys and 1 beautiful girl rushed into this auto. 1 guy sat on the iron bar and the girl sat next to him and the other guy next to her. The guy sat on the iron bar branded a knife, the other guy caught his throat and the girl put her legs above his lap and held his hands. The guy with the knife started banging him on his face and he started bleeding ....our guy was speechless and they didn't stop beating...he was not able to even shout for help as the other guy caught on his throat !
The gang threatened him that if he shouts for help they will say that this guy is kidnapping the girl and the 2 guys came for rescue and auto driver is approver for that !!

They took his cash of Rs. 4000/-, took his watch and picked up his mobile. As the mobile was old model they returned to him ! All in the journey,while they kept beating him. After looting everything they pushed him from the auto in cubbon road and flew away. He was bleeding from his broken lip and didn't even note down the auto number becoz of the rude shock. You know what - all this happened between 1 - 1.30 pm of the day in one of the busiest area of
Bangalore !! who told Auto is safe to travel ??!!

Please be careful before getting into an auto especially after you come out of a ATM !!

If u feel like, u can pass this message to ur friends to aware them about Autos in Bangalore or for that matter anywhere!!!

The Stock Market simply illustrated.... is there a lesson here?

Yeah.... Go Ahead....

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs50." The villagers squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!! !!

Welcome to the Stock Market !!!!!

Enjoy the path you take to reach your Goal...

Taking life as it comes...What does that mean?
.....means be strong enough to accept whatever come in your way irrespective of all the hard work that you put in…. or that you are just too lazy to do anything about anything and will take whatever comes in ur way of life.

Do we have any control over certain things in life?
My answer is NO.. so u have to take it as it comes..but if you apply that to everything in your life..u become lazy and give excuse for everything.. Ships are never meant to be on the harbour they are meant to sail. Thats what life is about you have go out of the safety zone and explore.

But needless to say there has been limits in our life & action, a small boat cannot with-stand a storm but a ship would. So it gets to the point where we need to know what we are capable? either a ship or boat etc. ?

...... explanation Needed ??

UnNaALe UnNaALe is such a wonderful & touching movie...All the songs are beautifully crafted according to the story line. I was deeply touched with the Climax of the story.


I loved everyone's performance from the movie ! Especially, Vinay I love his acting & Dialog delivery. Tanisha fitted the character, Sadha has choosen a bold move by choosing such a character in this movie, Also I Would like to give special recongnition to Raju Sundaram and Sathish ! Their dance moves & comedies were simply rocking.

Life as I see…. with Friends…

In my state of awareness, I know I’m slowing, losing very important things in life. Now a days everything seems to slipping away from me and it’s all I can do is just hold of whatever closest to me. As I make new friends, I lose touch with old ones ~ as I get to know new friends, old ones get added in the fading list. The passage of time never stops; it takes everything that I do, interested, habited, practiced somewhere here & there, with & without reason I am changing & adapting to the fresh ones, but each one never failed to teach what life is.

Friends…. they were in our daily lives for the longest time, 10+ years I would say… I will be totally away from whom I am close now, by that time I know will be slowly fading away from my memory. Even now I still chat with them once in a while… but of what? Memories of the past? What I’m doing now? …. It’s unfortunate, but what can we possibly talk about? Can we talk of life as we did once before? We just got to chitchat about the happenings.

As friends fade into the past, its quite natural act, & new ones appear in the horizon. This how life is & friends are…the time and distance cause friends to drift apart. Where families have the inseparable blood bond ~ there’s nothing to keep a friend around once communication breaks except the sweet memories. None to blames except the time, distance ... & That's the LIFE, you got to accept it.

" The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. "


I dont remember exactly, I came across this quote in a Bus / Travel site....
....... But How true is it ??

White Elephant in the Making...Yet another Media blitz, to hurt the sentiments!!

Hey you all need to observe, right from the time of the Sankaracharya case, there has been a constant attack on the sentiments of a particular community. Infant, Media is also involved with it in a very serious way. Once enough negative coverage is made, then the whole project will be shelved out stating the benefits & facts (keep watching what will happen to Sethu Samudram). It started with Sankaracharya case , then the Tirupathi controversy,then the Sabarimala Controversy, Now the Ram controversy. This will never end. At least the community should be broadminded that all these media jokes are treated as mosquito bites. These media exaggerate news just for the hype & for their business. They think they are doing a noble job,to feel guilty among the community, but that never happened.

It’s like a dog barking at a Lion. The Lion does not care and it need not care too.

Its fun lets watch the fun and lets enjoy the fun too!

IDOL worship ? or IDLE worship ? or IDEAL worship ?

The Day after the Immersion...
Would you like your Gods bulldozed like garbage ??
Lying at your feet ...Helpless .. Abandoned by worshippers ! Hurted? Desecrated?


And you create a hue and cry when some statue in your city gets 'desecrated' ?

Was that the statue a GOD,
OR
Is this GOD only a Statue ?

We just got to Think, Decide & Act......... But it would be great if you can do it to avoid real desecration.

Respect Religion, Spirtuality not by celeberating it in a desecrated manner.

Chak De India ..... not Chuck the India !

I read in a daily newspaper that the Indian cricketers watched the Bollywood movie Chak De India with enthusiasm and sought inspiration from the film which tracks an underdog women hockey team's progress to become world champions....with that (over)confident, India has lost 4th ODI against England.... lol...

ahaaa.... Somebody needed to tell them its not "Chuck the India" ,
Indian Team - guys got it right ????

In an intellectual thot....
did the English team ever get to watch "Lagaan" to trap Hindustan team ??

Chak De India........... Chak De India...........

Watermelon in YELLOW Color???

Check with the snap… Taken by Nokia 5200



Many might have heard/seen it before, but it was some thing new to me, I happened to witness that in Chennai - Besant Nagar 3 months back, Generally the inner part of the melon is Red in color, but I saw a watermelon in Yellow color…

Lights On, Start Camera... ActionN….
21st August 23, 2007.

Yeah, first time in my life I came into the view of a Camera for an audition in acting in a Wipro based movie, for some commercial purpose.... Though my face is not a camera-friendly one, I participated because Prabhu - the Artificial Intelligence fellow insisted me to give a try, So, I felt like giving a try then.... We entered the hall where the shoot audition was happening for a trial performance... The audtion hall was arranged with the lights, mic, Camera... not like hi-fi movie sets, but a one that requried for audition...

I registered myself my giving my contact details, followed by that we went behind the camera to see how others are performing…. I saw a guy who was giving his introduction before the camera, followed by that the Director asked him to do some action, on seeing this I almost felt anxious, he was doing everything in a cool manner. Then, another guy appeared before the camera, started with his introduction about him, the Directors team stopped him… He was rejected L, No Clue Why??

Then it’s my turn, I slowly walked in to the arena in front of the camera…. I was asked to give a brief introduction about myself…. I started my speech, my hands started shivering, to be honest the speech was clear & I was confident with myself on doing so, Guess I was impressed, followed by that I was asked to give a winning action / how I react when I win in a match? …. I did some thing with my hands with a smiley face. Then followed by that I was given a situation like river is flowing in front of me, I just have to look the river with a deep thinking action, they offered me with a chair to sit, I did what they asked me to do… Then the Director standing behind the camera…. asked me to give a statue pose by seeing his hand. I couldn’t follow what he was telling since two person at a time gave me instruction, one asked me to look still & other asked me to look here & there…. That’s it my Audition is done… Result will be announced within a week of time….



I left the audition hall with excitements & felt satisfied, as Pierre de Coubertin said “Winning is not important, but Participation matters… “.


Thanks to Prabhu - the AI !

Something Special....

I submitted my snap in http://www.whatsinaname.in/axis.html for a campaign for the change of the name from UTI Bank to Axis Bank.

Similarly, they had asked the viewers to submit their snap & suggest 4 names of their choice, so that others can vote the best name on basis of how you look.

I was Shocked to find my Snap after a 3 weeks of time......

;-)

.... no other go, than forgiving Gmail / Google's Mail service.....
