When Hosur hooch tragedy occured...........

Dasaavataram - Review

I was still awe-struck by the brilliant performance of this unit which outsmarted all my expectations.
It all starts with a 12th century incident of drowning a "veera vasihanavite" along with his beloved idol "Sri Govinda raja perumal" in the Bay of Bengal at Chidambaram. This part is a good historical treat. It was immediately followed by a biological lethal weapon getting out of hands, of the good-mans and was in all love from the gang-mans. The real story starts here and then takes off like a propellant engine with crackers at equal intervals, In the mean time kamal has donned another 9 different roles. My catch and most others would be "Christian Fletcher" - the bad man. I couldn’t figure him as an odd-man-out; I mean one of the avatars of Kamal. I thought him to be a special Hollywood invite. If "Christian Fletcher" is for bad things then "Balram Nayadu" is for tickling our funny bones.
As our mail-floats.....George-Bush is portrayed as a man who doesn't know "Nacl" or the one who thinks of dropping a nuclear bomb, as if he is going to eaves drop in an enemy fleet. There is couple of other such humorous. Kamal's dialogues are also fantastic. “Hiroshima" and "Pearl Harbor" - dual do get some late response from audience. It’s a good thinking on part of kamal."Ulaga nayakane" Lyrics was superbly penned by Vairamuthu as is the case with "kallai kandal" by Vaali.

Finally I wonder the novelist approach of linking Tsunami with the destruction of biological weapon. In all, it has a good mix of marriage between the coincidences. Lyricist Kabilan joins Kannadasan, Vaali et al. in the select band of freelance acting.

It was an visual treat to watch Kamal in 10 different roles.
I usually resist watching Hollywood movies, but now I wonder will it be like "Dasavataram"?

The complete story is covered here .

The Third pie

By whatever term you refer - Gender identity disorder or Third gender or Transgender or Transman or Transwoman or Transsexualism or the term which i would prefer sexually challenged, they form a chunk of Human rights violation either voluntarily or involuntarily.

The term "Hijida" supposdly a derivative from devnagari, refers to the third gender or Eunuch by which the world is familar with.

Those persons who are travelling in Mumbai-Chennai train route are familair with eunichs. (ofcourse this route is also noticed for sedative biscuit bandit gang).

Its not my kind heartedness nor any kind of symphathy which made me to write this article, for which I am sorry. Asusual i also used to make mockery of them, especially the way in which they are portrayed in Cinema (like "9" etc.). But as part of the society we need them to engage in any activity to avoid social imbalances or inother words to have better balanced society.

I tried to trace the schemes by our Governments for the welfare of eunichs, but couldn't find any. Its still a mystery that how they are managing life;If only by begging or harassing others? then its horrible. Recently Hariyana Government came out with a proposal of Rs.300 as a allowance or dole for eunichs. Its a welcome step, as it would leads to their registration or some sort of arrangment which would facilate their official count. MP government had already proposed for appointing them as tax collectors.In mumbai we can take a breath as they have politically advanced to contest in local elections and have managed to won.

With respect to TN, where every year the famous "Koothandavar festival" helds, there is no official backing for eunichs from government. Some 6 months before government conducted gender transmission operations at CMC, Vellore with the irony being its still not legal in India. Sometime before our state food minster announced that these people will get ration card, but nobody cares to make a backtrack of what happened, as still government is breaking its head on the elimination of duplicate ration cards.
I would suggest that there may some kind of self help groups to make them economically valuable, and also to impart some sort of self-interest in them. But its not as easy as we write here. It need a complete make shift, I could no where find the term "eunich" nor any information of these people, in NCERT textbooks till 10th, and I am ready to throw open a challenge that 50% of people are encountering this term for the first time, here. We should make school students to realise the third gender. It comes under the purview of sex education. Still gay marriages & lesbian relations are not so acceptable in Indian society. We shall not enter into that topic now.

Films should stop portraying them in bad taste. Its should be considered as social responisbilty. I wonder what sort of medical facilty they have?.

There are lot of problems in society which are better when unnoticed, but at the end of a day they have to be addressed for still better society!
Lets keep our fingers crossed and follow
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the article which i wrote some 4 months before, and left without publishing due to several factors.

Supposdly now came some relief mesures for them.
TN govt has setup a new board for eunichs and their welfare. The process of distribution of ration cards for them has also been speed up and above all from the next academic year all college will have new applicaion forms with the sex column getting a new divison as "Transgender".

Supposed to be aired earlier, star Vijay is also speeding up for the telecast of "Rose mariyagiya nan" , a first of its kind program, in which a transgenderd person would speak on their travails.

There are lot of problems in society which are better when unnoticed, but at the end of a day they have to be addressed for still better society!
Lets keep our fingers crossed and follow .

Sivakamiyin Sabatham & Paruthi Veeran

The above two has nothing common except both throws limelight on two women characthers Sivakami & Muttazhagu, respectively and Both being classics in their own form. I had a personal thread connecting them as i wished very long to read the former and to view the latter. But untill recently i couldnt do those both.

Sivakamiyin sabatham is a Tamil classic written by kalki in 1946. Its an historic novel centering around the great Pallava king Mahendra Pallavan whose passion for
sculptures gave birth to Mammallapuram which derives its name from his son Narasimma Pallavan alias Mammallan. It opens with an heroic scene in the streets of kanchipuram (the historic capital of Pallavas) and goes on with the developments of war with Pulikesi and finally ends with the looting of Vathapi, the then capital of Chaulkyas. Though it was written some 6 decades back, still it has all the ingredients of an commercial cini story to such an extent that i couldnt stop reading it for a day. Day and night i completed this 4 volume classic in a week. That inspires me to catch Kalki's other classics Parthiban kanavu, Ponniyin Selvan & Alai osai.

Similarly Paruthi veeran, as all we know is an off-beat hit from Ameer, released in 2006. Usually i owe not to write reviews for the films which i didnt saw in theatre. But i couldnt resist writing about this movie. After Bharathiraja(specifically after Kizhaku chemayile) this is one among the films which captured every aspect of a Tamil village starting from the festival till the very end, including typical Madurai Tamil slang.

In line with Kalki , Amir has also made me to think about watching his previous classics MounamPesiyathe & Ram. Last movie in which i was emotionally carried away was Pithamagan. May be this film will also be in that list had i watched it in theatre!

I at some lighter times had been advised/suggested/criticised by people that by not boozing or smoking or abstaning from Non-veg, been missing a color in my life. Though i am not reciproacting them inparticular but in general those people with good flair in Tamil and with some leisure shouldnt miss reading such classics like "Sivakamiyin sabatam" even if some contemporary writings are missed.

The very fact that still there is an active e-group in Yahoo & community in orkut speaks a lot for kalki's writings. These novels and Various other Tamil classics can be downloaded from here.

And the scoop news is "Katrathu Tamizh" - starting to win acclodes. So It has to be watched.

Malaikottai – A Review

BoopatiPandiyan – Back from the breezy “Thiruvilayadal Arambam”, has made a decent name teller, commercially. The prima-facie reason for me to catch this movie is “Muttazhagu”, yeap Priyamani. Previously Sneha used to be my prima-facie reasons for watching movies and now its Priyamani’s turn!.But she has no scope in this movie apart from being a charming Tamil heroine. She could have got more generous costumes! Miniskirt is what she got in all songs!.

It’s a story with lot of commerciality and yeap good time passer!. I wondered wheteher Vishal will have any wounds or will break the rules of a cini hero.In the climax fight, he proves to be a Tamil hero. Before that I couldn’t remember any frame, in which he was being wounded. But still he can be forgiven for his extra-heroical stunts, when compared with his contemporary Dhanush (Sullan) on the grounds of their physique & screen image. An opening song as a sequel of TheradiVeethiyil (Run) and a remix of Mohan’s “Hey atha” are catchy hits. Very usual comedies bring loads of laughter instantly. I hope movie would reap success commercially.! Apart from setting aside logics.

Pune – Ganesh

Some of my captures during the 10 day long festivity.

If Ganesh chaturthi is the birthday of elephant god, then Pune is considered to be the birth place of the culture of celebrating it with great fervor rather in grand manner. Time machine turns back to 1893 when Bala Gangadhara Tilak, found a new way to mobilize the anti-British thoughts, in the form of Ganesh to inspire people. This legacy is inherited till now, with dynamic evolutions to the agenda.

Nowadays in each 10 days, the mandals take up a scence from ancient epics and they enact they using such puppets. (mechanically as wellas manually).

This capture is Krishna Viswaroop from mahabharatha.

This scence is saint Tukaram attaining sainthood from panduranga.

Such group dancing adds color to the festival. Not to mention women leads the group.

The glittering procession on last Tuesday (25-09-07) lasted as long as 31 hours, closing traffic.

60 years since....!

Its 60 years since India is being begun to rule by Indians, that’s how I could perceive Independence. Had India really progressed under Independence? – a definitely big YES, especially after the economic reforms in early 90s, which witnessed many enterprenuers establishing themselves, had Naryanamoorthy sold his firm in the pre reform era, we couldn’t have IT hub now. The vacuum created by the outing of IBM, offered Asim premji a perfect platform for diversification, from soap to software. Multi million Mergers & Acquisitions have became a reality by the India inc. now.

But whether really Indians have improved, had their lifestyle bettered? – Again yes, we can say upper class have improved, off late due to the economic reforms, the complete middle class bracket is making a steady progress. And even it offered some down class people a perfect level playing field to prove & improve themselves. But still BPL is not eradicated, still five years plans are being formulated in vain, for their betterment and on the other hand farmers are left with uncertainty. It’s the high time for thinking of some revolutions again with the technological impact. Governments should take care the option of providing farmers with all the latest technological advancement facilities instead of giving political colors with the free power or free land. Something is needed to be done for crop insurance especially when their living gets disturbed due to monsoon or some natural calamities.
On the lines of farmers, another set of people who are deprived of luxuries of life, are the employees of unorganized sector who badly needs some hand of help from the government.
Reservations, both caste-based & religion based prove to be hampering the common interests of the people. They still exist as political issue and electoral banking issue. Thay have to be undone or to be modified based on the latest data.
Growing problems between states on various issues especially for water in South India, will have to be stopped with immediate effect, by the Union government with its special powers offered to it by the constitution of India. But which political party or which politician is daring enough to do so?
A special plan is needed for the improvement of NE states, which still remains isolated from some other states.
Young India contributes to the IT & ITES with overwhelming enthusiasim. But what we need to cherish our freedom is a balanced growth of both Urban & Rural India, all from Kargil to kanniyakumari, Expecting our so-called democratic governments to come out with real action plans.
Barring a few mentioned above instances and a lot other nuisances,In all India & Indians have progressed enough to be decorated with Nobels, Magsaseys & Bookers.

Wish you all my readers a self-realized Independence day ahead.

Mind Blowing

So long suddenly I lost neither my touch in blogging, nor some other things kept me busy and prevented me from blogging. And also I wanted to publish my maiden short story, it takes me some time to compile it in Tamil, since I am little hesitant to make it in English. It will take some more time.
Back from a tiresome vacation, starting with fear-fun filled rides in Queensland, followed by a pious-yet patience walk to the hills of Thirumala. I went to Chennai with lot of schedules in mind, but couldn’t make it at least for an half, thereby leaving me longing for next vacation :)
I wanted to share some unique piece of news items which I came across last week & which made my eyebrows to expand and took some of my time to think about.

1. In London, they celebrate a day as “Traditional sports day”, on which they close traffic on most of the streets to let the children play in streets.
(I haven’t imagined this will happen in London nor any possibilities of happening in India!!)

2. In Kochi, the Municipal corporation had declared a holiday to facilitate the disposal of garbage which has accumulated for a long time.
(Hope the city wouldn’t turn into another Surat! But i am sure this wouldnt happen in London!!)

3. A man in Coimbatore had swallowed his tooth brush and successfully it was removed by the medicos. (Again, what a fateful day the person had, we can swallow the toothpaste, but what if toothbrush!! – I can’t imagine!!!)

4. An article in “The Hindu” (9.8.07), which speaks about the brain. I am amazed to know that brain can feel pain if any part of the body gets injured or hurt but this pity human organ can’t feel pain if any of its own parts get injured or if any foreign particles gut struck with it!! Weird isn’t??

Again I have to quote the same daily for another article by P.Sainath (latest Magsasey winner), which speaks about fateful rural life of India. Its one kind of article which I like reading. Only such articles have some power to awake and potential to make the lawmakers to think and act. (I suppose!!)

Kreedom - A review

After watching Shivaji for umpteen times, once again thought of watching it with my cousin, but at the last minute he changed his mood, and so I changed my mood to catch this movie (mokkai!). A combination of Prasanth's "Tamizh" and Vikram's "Dil".There is no new story just the age old story printed with a new typeface!. Only my next seat Vijay fan's running comments entertained me more than what the movie tried to did!!!
I suppose storyboard is not strong enough to impress Tamil fans as compared with Malayalam people, though big name of Malayalam industry "Logidas" is involved. Rajkiran-Saranya pair & Trisha's parents pair - same old faces brings nostalagia.Many scenes are dejavu except the new form of romance (ore payan oru ponnu.. ok ya).
Nothing more i wanted to write about this movie.
Better luck next time "thala".

என் நெஞ்சின் ஆழத்தில்

பிச்சைக்காரியும் காத்திருக்கிறாள்
சிவப்பு விளக்கிற்க்கு
கைகுழந்தையுடன் காசு கேட்பதற்கு!

- இப்படி ஒரு ஹைக்கூ ஒரு முறை வால்வோ பேருந்தில் இருந்து நெருக்கடி மிகுந்த ஒரு பூனே சந்திப்பில் என் நினைவில் வந்து சென்றது.
பின்னர் ஏனோ மறந்துவிட்டது.
சமீபத்தில் 'சிவாஜி' படத்தில் கூட இது போன்ற ஒரு காட்சி இடம் பெற்றிருக்கும்.
பின்னர் ஒரு தோழி அனுப்பிய மின்னஞ்சலில் இந்த புகைப்படத்தைக் கண்டதும் ஏனோ மீண்டும் மனதில் ஒரு நெருடல்.

மழையின் ஸ்பரிசமும்
தாய் மடியின் கதகதப்பும்
குட்டிக் குழந்தையின்
சுட்டிப் பார்வையும்
என் நெஞ்சின் ஆழத்தில்
ஈட்டியாய்ப் பாய்ந்து
கண்களின் ஓரத்தில்
ஈரமாய் எட்டிப்பார்த்து!

SHIVAJI - Review

Just now I watched a preview of ‘Shivaji’ which is going to be screened here from tomorrow (22.06.07), officially. It’s a back to Home feeling, with typical whistles & shouting of ‘thalaiva’ amidst a hall full of Tamil people!
As per the thumb rule we should not look for stories or the logics in a Rajini film. But by chance if u expects one for Shankar’s sake, then you are optimistic! Indeed it has a story but the screenplay is little weird.
It’s the story about a young ‘software system architect’, returning from USA, with 250 crores (!) with a noble purpose of spending the money to the upliftment of poor. He faces though times with the villain (Suman) and was made a pauper, overnight. The storm starts here which finally settles up in accounting all the black money amidst the corrupt people!
Hero is looking for a Tamil cultured girl, to marry and finds ‘Tamizhselvi’ (shreya) and with twists & turns marry her. But I observed that ‘Nayanthara’ (brand new – very slim) in the introduction song could have best suited for that character except for Shreys's flirting dance movements .
As usual SS strikes the rod with his trade mark comedies – good entertaining factor for the first half. (Don’t miss SS comedies with shreya’s family!). The favorite punch dialogues are this time given to ‘Vivek’ who mouths Rajini. Sujatha’s dialogues are very matching the sequences with timing words!(kaun hai..?? poda kenai!!! – especially this received a round of laughter’s in the hall!).
In the first fight SS can be sported with a little big tummy. (may be because he was a software engineer). But director could have made a note of this. Thottdharani rocks with ‘vaji vaji’ settings. Simply awesome!.
The second half track changes from comedy to action. Its time for the BOSS to take some cool revenges!. Please watch them how in the movie. Shankar is very sentimental (scientimental??) about graphics in his films. We can quote ‘Muquabla’ in ‘Kadalan’,’Maya macheendra’ in ‘Indian’,’Mudalvane’ in ‘Mudalvan’, ‘Kannodu’ in ‘Jeans’ & ‘boom boom’ in ‘Boys’. The latest addition to the list is ‘Athiradikaran’ in ‘Shivaji’. Frame to frame – graphics – each suiting well for SS.
This film has very natural introduction scene for SS. Though it suits the story well, we as fans expects a grand opening for him!, similarly 'Balelaka' song needed more natural visual sequences, instead of that hight paint costumes. Visual sequences doesn't match the lyrics of Muthukumar, except for the 'dhavani girl' Nayanthara.She is simply coooll..with that smile.!!
NO Logics:
Don’t think about how he could have earned 250 crores in so little time!
The CBI team arrests SS & produces his Laptop as an evidence, without knowing what it contents as it is password protected & later struggles in vain to unlock it!
(As I said earlier we should not look for Logics in Rajini film – but for Shankar’s sake – he could have look on to it..!. May be he could have thought no people would think about this!)
But finally,
A million kudos awaits Shankar to have shown Rajini back in his ‘Batsha’ days with superb costumes (Manish Malhotra) & the hair-styles (Mariaya Santro).
As a SS fan I am 200% entertained & satisfied. But still there is something which is missing from other Shankar’s film.
No need to mention about ARR’s background music. He simply broke the jinx created by him in Baba.
Shreya could easily top the list of sexiest heroines of Rajni.
I personally feel ‘oru kudai sunlight’ as a crap with some unsuitable costumes! – Its my personal feeling though it suits the story well.
The film ends with ‘kanavu meipada vendum’.
AMEN
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everybody can give entertaining 3 hours to watch thalaivar in action!

Tailpiece:
For the first time in my life I am spending a 3 digit amount to watch a film .

All for this magical cum magnetic letters R-A-J-I-N-I.!

A more seasoned review will follow after my second visit!

I could see lot of Tamil families with grandma & grandpa for the preview!.Its the charm of Rajini!

As always comments are welcome!

Really shocking!

Below is the excerpt taken from Kumudam reporter:

பத்து மாதம் பொத்திப் பொத்தி வைத்துப் பாதுகாத்த கர்ப்பம்... பிரசவ வலி ஏற்படுகிறது... மருத்துவமனைக்குக் கொண்டு செல்லப்படுகிறார் அந்த கர்ப்பிணிப் பெண். இயற்கையான முறையில் குழந்தை பிறக்க வாய்ப்பில்லை என்று டாக்டர்கள் சொன்னதை ஏற்றுக் கொண்டு, அறுவை சிகிச்சை மூலம் குழந்தை பெற்றுக் கொள்ளச் சம்மதித்து, கையெழுத்துப் போட்டு விட்டு ஆபரேஷன் தியேட்டருக்கு வெளியே டென்ஷனோடு காத்திருக்கிறார் கணவர்.

‘சும்மாவா?... பிரசவம்ங்கிறது ஒரு பொண்ணுக்கு மறுஜென்மம் மாதிரி...’ என்று வெளியில் காத்திருக்கும் பாட்டிகள், தங்கள் அனுபவங்களைப் பகிர்ந்து கொண்டு காத்திருக்கிறார்கள். ஆனால், அவர்களுக்கு அந்த ஆபரேஷன் தியேட்டருக்குள்... தன்னை நம்பி இரண்டு உயிர்களை ஒப்படைத்த குடும்பத்துக்கு அந்த டாக்டர் எந்தளவுக்கு உண்மையாக இருக்கிறார் என்பது தெரியுமா? தெரியாதுதான் என்றாலும், கடவுள் மேல் வைக்கும் நம்பிக்கைபோல் டாக்டர்கள் மீதும் நம்பிக்கை வைக்கிறார்கள் மக்கள்.

ஆனால், அந்த ஒரு சம்பவத்தில், குறிப்பிட்ட அந்த டாக்டர் என்ன செய்தார் தெரியுமா? தான் தள்ளி நின்று கொண்டு பத்தாவது படிக்கும் தனது மகனை விட்டு அந்த அறுவை சிகிச்சையைச் செய்ய வைத்தார். செய்ய வைத்தது மட்டுமன்றி, அதனை வீடியோ எடுத்து வைத்தும் பெருமைப்பட்டிருக்கிறார் அந்த டாக்டர்.

திருச்சி மாவட்டம் மணப்பாறையில் நடந்த இந்தச் சம்பவம்தான், திருச்சி வட்டார மருத்துவர்களிடையே (மிக ரகசியமாக விவாதிக்கப்படும்) தற்போதைய ஹாட் டாபிக்.

After this what does that Dr. has to tell :
Please continue

இரண்டு நாட்கள் அலைச்சலுக்குப் பின்னர் மணப்பாறையில் உள்ள மாண்ட்போர்ட் பள்ளியில் தனது மகன் திலீபன்ராஜை ப்ளஸ் ஒன் சேர்த்து விட்டு வந்த அவரைப் பிடித்தோம். “இங்க லோக்கல்ல உள்ள ஐ.எம்.ஏ. மெம்பர்கள் பதவிப் போட்டியில் இப்படி என் மேல குறை சொல்லுறாங்க. நான் என் மகனுக்கு ஏழாம் வகுப்பு படிக்கும் போதிலிருந்தே ட்ரெயினிங் குடுத்திருக்கேன். சாதனை பண்றதா நெனச்சுத்தான் பண்ணுனேன். லோக்கல் ஐ.எம்.ஏ.யில உள்ளவங்களுக்கு என் டெவலப்மெண்ட்டுல விருப்பம் இல்ல. பத்து வயசுப் பையன் கார் ஓட்டுறான். அமெரிக்காவுல பதினைந்து வயசுப் பையன் டாக்டர் பட்டம் வாங்குறான். பொதுமக்கள், மருத்துவ அமைப்புகள் ஏத்துக்கிட்டாலும் ஏத்துக்காட்டியும் நான் என் மகனுக்கு ட்ரெயினிங் குடுத்திருக்கேன். அவன் சிசேரியன் செய்யும் திறமையுள்ளவன் என்பது உண்மைதான்.

சிலர் இது தவறுன்னு சொல்லுவாங்க. சிலர் இது சரின்னு சொல்லுவாங்க. அதைப்பத்தி நான் கவலைப்படலை.
ஒவ்வொரு ஆஸ்பத்திரியில ஆயாதான் டெலிவரியே பாக்குது. நான் ஸ்வீப்பரைக் கூட்டியாந்து ட்ரெயினிங் குடுக்கலை. எல்லாம் ஓர் அதிர்ஷ்டத்துல நடக்குது. நல்லாப் படிக்கிற என் மகனுக்குத்தான் ட்ரெயினிங் குடுத்தேன். எல்லாரும் ஒரு ஆஸ்பத்திரி கட்டிட்டு, தான் டாக்டரா ப்ராக்டிஸ் பண்ணிட்டு தன் புள்ளையையும் டாக்டராக்கி பின்னாளில் தனக்கு ஒரு வாரிசை உருவாக்குறாங்க. நான் அதைச் செய்யக் கூடாதா? நான் மணப்பாறையிலேயே ஹார்ட் ஆபரேஷன் பண்ணுனவன்’’ என்றார் அதிரடியாக.

நல்லமுறையில் மகப்பேறு முடியும் என்று நம்பி, இவரைத் தேடி வந்தவர்களுக்கு ஒரு கத்துக்குட்டிப் பையனை வைத்து இவர் சிசேரியன்கள் செய்தது அந்த கர்ப்பிணிகளுக்கும், உறவினர்களுக்கும் தெரிந்தால் என்ன நடக்கும்? மற்றவர்கள் தங்கள் உயிரைப் பணயம் வைத்து சாதனைகள் செய்யப் போக, இவரோ மற்றவர்களின் உயிரைப் பணயம் வைத்து தன் மகனை சாதனையாளராக்கி இருக்கிறார். அந்த நிலையில் ஓர் அசாதாரண சூழ்நிலை உருவாகி, தாயின் உயிருக்கோ அல்லது குழந்தையின் உயிருக்கோ ஏதாவது ஆபத்து ஏற்பட்டிருந்தால், இவரும் சர்வ சாதாரணமாக பில்லைப் போட்டு பணத்தை வாங்கிக் கொண்டு பிணத்தை ஒப்படைத்திருப்பார். சம்பந்தப்பட்ட உறவினர்களும் “டாக்டர் நல்ல டாக்டர்தான், விதி முடிஞ்சு போச்சு. என்ன பண்றது?’’ என்று புலம்பிக் கொண்டே வீட்டுக்குப் போயிருப்பார்கள். இது போன்ற டாக்டர்களை என்ன செய்வது?

Even if that Dr. has so much belief in the skills of his son then he should have got the consent of the patient. Will he ever dare to do this? Never!!He should have tested his son's capabilities by making him to operate on himself. I dunno how many such cases are still in force inbackward areas like Mannapparai.! Only God knows.!.

Best counselling...!

Dinamalar - Varamalar

It is one of the best counselling... i have read in the recent past. After reading the question i stopped a moment and asked myself what will be my answer to this question!. Defenitely i know it should not happen but how does counsellor is going togive counselling? was my question. Finally I like the way Anuradha ramanan handeled this sensitive question.

Todays catch news

Today I came across two interesting pieces of information. First one is about Orkut,(The Mid-day,Mumbai). It is about how the Mumbai cops were able zero in on the criminal who murdered his girl friend. Actually our intelligent cops have looked for the victims contacts in her orkut page, about her scrap history and testimonials and thus they were able to pin point or corner the criminal. The Irony in this story is that the culprit is a navalJunior commision officer.
So apart from social networking Orkut in India is also emerging as social investigation site!.
The second one is about a blog of an US soldier ( The Hindu,Bangalore). His blog has been selected for the Blooker award (in lines with Booker, its counterpart for blogs) for the emotional description of his involvement in the war against Iraq. Again irony in this story is his blog was banned by US DoD with in a week of its inception, but before that it got its deserved publicity!

Development in DMK!

Its very unfortunate to have Mr.Dayanidi Maran in such political turmoils. But its since long i have sensed, i had some gut feeling that one day these things will happen, but not to such an extent killing of 3 people and ultimately leading to his power sack. Maran who is always seen with Karuna in every function has absented himself for the latest golden jublee function, fuelling the rumors about the split in the family.
The latest news confirms that Maran may be sacked from cabinet.We have to acknowledge his share of contribution for IT development in India (atleast for TN).Virtually transforming Chennai to a Detroit.
I too was very upset over Karuna to made an acolyte like Maran, a first time MP, a minister, that too incharge of IT, but later he disproved my thoughts and all his crtics by his actions and went on to top the list of best ministers.
Had there been Promod Mahajan Maran could have faced serious of crticisim as both were tech-savies in their own sense.
Anyhow we hope for the best that sacking of Maran is just going to be an eyewash to satisfy the Madurai son!.

Partyum nanum!

It was one Thursday morning, I was having a conversation with one of my team mate.
Let him be mr.T.
T : hey balaji! Tum chutti aur weekend may kya kartiye?
Me : hmm I will have lot of sleep, wash clothes,go for browsing, spend time in library and in the evenings will go to parks 
T : hare, kya yar! Tum baccha hey kya…?park ko jatha hey? Kuch party aur disco nahi jathe hey kya?
Me : No. I m not interested, in such things!
T: kyon?
Me: I am used to like this!
T: accha, teek hai!

On that evening he sent a multicastmsg in ip messenger!

T: guys! Can we have a party today at mr.X’s home?
Me: ( I am not for party but to be on safer side I replied) go ahead!
T : you are with us or not?
Me: sari ivannum rumba feel panni kupadrannenu sarinnu reply pannen . Nammalum team kuda sariya pazhgarathillyenu ok sonnen! But I am a passive participantnu oru conditionum potten!
(since mr.X (host) is also a non-drinker and pure vegetarian!, namma policiki entha villangamum irukkathunu ore nampikkiai)

Atlast evening 7o clock we reached mr.X’s home. They purchased everything ranging from hotships to vegManchurian on the way, but intha sarakku purchase pannumpothu mattum enna veliyele nikka vacchi bike securitya nikka vaccithanga.
Nanum rumba nambikkaiya ennaku oru halfo fullo coke pothumnu order panni irunthen.!

But last minutela… enna kekamalaye Breezernu oru itema.. 4% alcoholam atha vangi vacchitanunga! Nalla neram parthu partya start pannaga…appathan enakku matterya sonnanga….!

Don’t worry balaji, I was also like u some 5 years back, but now see I am full pledged and used to such things! You will also be like this some time after!
Ithulla nan kudikaleyunu avaruku rumba varuttam, so he prepared to go out to buy some other items for me!
(I really feared marubadiyum poi ethavathu brandi, wisky nu vangi vantuduvanonu!)
My gud time it was already 9 o clock so konjam avana cajole panni utkarvachen!)

Atlast we decided to break around 11o clock and on the way namma mr.Y half-boil pothutharu!. Sari avara kaithangala avar bikela uthkaravacchi, oru 12 o clock I reached my room!

It was a very novice and ever memorable experience for me! Pinna oru 5 drinkers naduvala oru non drinker mattikittu patta badu enakkuthane theriyum!

Hereafter yaravathu party-kertyna sorry I am really not interested!
Kadasila individual sharenu oru 250 rs. Vetti selavu!

Abouy me in PUNE - FAQ's:

I suppose Last blog was little boring and of no use to others!. So I have tried to make this as interesting as I could, though may not be so informative These are the questions I have answered umpteen times after coming to Pune.So its better to have my Pune FAQs compilation!

Q1. Why are you staying alone?

Usually my answer for this ques. Is that I enjoy staying alone and I have absolutely no problem in sharing room with others ( infact enakkum rent save agum!) nor even continue staying alone.
But the other side of ths story is that I fear I may not get a gud roommate!. Nowadays IT companiyala work pannale cigratte pidikkanum, sarakku adikkanum, salsa pannanumnu unwritten rule has been implemented

Related to this another article is to published.

Q2. How is the Pune girls?

This q. is a must that I have faced from lot of my Chennai friends. Pune girls (womens will be apt to mention!) are very bold. We can witness scenes like a 60 year old lady driving an Opal corsa or a young woman skidding on her Honda, passing our way through a signal. For the information Pune has the highest no. of 2 wheelers and highest no. of women driving 2 wheelers. Interestingly 2 letter roads are famous in Pune to mention a few FC road,MG road,JM road etc.
Ithellam ethukku famaus na, namma Infy mentor mr.Murthy sonna mathiri boys gf kuda suttavum, girls bf kuda suttavum!.
Several times I have witnessed girls smoking a cigratte in one hand and holding her boyfriend in another ( pavam antha paiyan!). and going a cat walk on these roads Ellam IT & ITES firms kudukkara fat salaryum appuram antha salary thara freedomumthan karanum. Appuram Pune girlslamThali mattum illa sariyum marriage annikuthan kattuvanga!

Q3. How many girl friends u have?
Its very difficult to answer this question. I dunno what they mean by the term girlfriend specifically!. Anyhow my answer for this question was I have lot of good friends across the ages!.

Q4. Hows Pune?

I have no change in my previous comments about Pune some 6 months ago…! Except that here widely speaked language is both Hindi and Marathi!

Trail & Error

Daily I have to commute 40 minutes in the morning and 50 minutes in the evening to my work place and back to my room. I wanted to utilize these 1.30 hour usefully. So I tried out different strategies but all ending in vain.
Step 1:
Just to sleep, I tried this first method for 3 days. I rarely get sleep in the morning as I slept well in the nights for 8 hours. So I curtailed my night sleep to 7 hour and tried again. But to my vain it was not so useful. So this method was dropped.

Step 2:
Reading books. I tried this method for 3 days. I am currently reading “A complete collection of Gahlil Gibran” a whooping 800 page book. It was the testing material.
This also ended in vain thanks to the bad roads of pune which leads to the irregular eye movements while reading.

Step 3:
Once I was out my college I enrolled myself in Transcendental meditation class. One of the speclity of this method of meditation is it doesn’t require any special place to follow. We can follow it in bus, car, or even while sitting on a bed or chair. So I tried it out for a couple of days. Again oscillating positions and irregular speed movements contributed to its failure.

Finally I resorted to my old method of listening songs in my mobile and enjoying the roadside beauties of Pune.

Introspection

It is almost a year now after I was out of my college. I was graduated and employed now. This blog is sort of introspection after a year of my campus life. Please forgive me if it's gonna bore you. It was not my intention to work for a great firm or to get a high paying job. Even my close associates know that I was prepared for an any kind of job that pays a mere 5k except the demanding BPOs or those nightmare call centers. (I was not at all fit for them– it's a different issue). But it is always for my parents who were dreamt of a high paying IT jobs. At least for them I decided,even if I am not working for an IT firm, I wanted to prove them that I am at least employable in an IT firm.Atlast I got a chance to prove myself but with a twist.
Soon after my high school I am not interested in doing Engg. nor medicine.So I didn’t join any of the coaching centers for the TNPCEE. Only at the last moment I was compelled to join (at that time expectations on me were MEDICAL or paramedical). I know my results would be of nowhere near to the expectations. Now it’s the high time that I must come out with my mind. I wanted to go for psychology. But I got not so encouraging replies... Then I applied for Physics at Loyola (it’s a nightmare for me!). Then I told my family that I am applying for chemistry in Presidency but actually applied for Psychology and got an admission also but in-between I changed my mind and signaled for Engg. I thought computer engg. would be easy subject and took that ahead of EC (later I felt I could have taken EC after CS people studying most of the EC papers). Thus went 4 most lethargic years in my life.
Had there not been papers like Maths, stats, Economics (at least I got class first in this paper) or Management (my hot favourite) classes would be of real waste for me. Neither algorithms nor circuits kindled my thoughts. And now I see my graduation certificate, and sometimes I laugh out louder to read those comedic sentences.
Had there not been any reductions in the passing minimum from 50 to 45 I would have got more arrears and that DISTINCION would have disappeared form my degree certificate.
Back to my MBA dreams to be honest I wanted to do MBA but I know I lack some of the basic traits to be an ideal MBA.Inspite of this I was preparing side by side for TANCET and for some reasons I don’t want to go for CAT or MAT. Even I got good rank 120th overall out of some 14k odd people. But now I don’t wanted to go for MBA on medical reasons and also that it was away from home (now I am away from home! And happy – very wiered I ll explain this! ). I was experiencing a mysterious shoulder pain from some time past. I thought I couldn’t devote my full time for studies and feared that MBA would also be a mere degree as I now have acquired BE. But at the last minute discussions with the medicos widely including local family doctors and from some big players in the field, they gave clean chit and I arrived on a mutual agreement with my family, that if and only if I get PSG I would do MBA else a strict no!.
Even then there were lots of pressures from lot of corners (family friend’s relatives….well wishers) that having got a good rank that I should not waste the opportunity. There came suggestions for various other colleges. Even I prayed in one corner of my heart that I should not get a seat during the counseling. But to my vain I got a seat. At that time my father was more satisfied than me to have got a prestigious seat in PSG. That was to be my first experience in hostel. I felt like anything called my home umpteen times a day even though I stayed there for only 2 days.
There came the twist, I got an job offer (!). I would say it as neither a surprise nor the one which I expected. After a long marathon discussions and dilemmas I discontinued from the college and though it came as a life saver for that time I am not confident to take up an IT job. I have to work a lot, I know where I stands in the programming & what technologies I am aware of. All I relied was on my initial training.
First module was Programming techniques which is really useful I learnt some basics of C. Then came Software engg. Which is kind of theory not to learn anything new as it is management oriented concept I am naturally interested. Then came Software testing where I really understood the difference between if loops, while loops etc.(back to +2). Fourth module was SQL which I learnt with interest in my college itself so no problem in facing the test, and cleared it successfully. Then came Java which I feared, a hell lot of portions to be covered and lot of practices to be done. Naturally what I mugged in my college here I have to arrive out of my mind. Adding fuel to the burns my shoulder pain aggravated and naturally resulted in my failure (one out of three wickets (retest count) down!). Then came J2ee which also doesn’t interested me and somehow it went and just got the minimum requirement to clear the paper. Then came PL/SQL which is dead easy only if we devote time. Honestly I was little overconfident in this module doesn’t worked out (if u know terminologies there are concepts like packages, functions, cursors etc.) Even if I intent to practice I couldn’t over a period of time. I haven’t practiced on a single package. My overconfident paid me off, just cleared the paper. Then came UNIX it was one of my interesting subjects and so concentrated much and I was one among the toppers in this paper.
Honestly this is the turning point in my training. But while giving the tests I am not confident that I would score in this paper. Immediately followed was my Java retest. Again I didn’t took it seriously I was prepared to enjoy my final days is Pune. As expected I got two compilation errors and virtually it amounts to nil validation of my work. (Wicket no 2 gone!). Once all results came after the calculations I was to get a minimum pass (25/50) in Java again in the improvement test.I was given a 15 days leave (Loss of pay). I packed myself to Chennai. Suddenly life took u-turns.
Either I could have satisfied with my offer from an IT company or I would have stayed in PSG itself. Now both options are slowly vanishing. But I could not do anything; I administered pain killers 2 at a time in successive days. Days were slowly dissolved in the December winter. It was now only 6 days to go for the test. I started to study only selected concepts but in detail. One among the options that I left was Thread programming. Fate has overtaken me in this also the very first question out of two was from thread programming. Anyhow I managed to get my 25 in the second question. Finally I survived with 61%. This is just a point above the mandate.
Ever after the completion of training I was not confident enough to code. But here nothing is to be worried as it comes with practice. I Know some of the toppers who are worse than me when comes to coding.
Till then I am learning a lot of new things daily, but they are of no interest to me. Yet I am trying to grasp some gist out of them. One of the interesting learning was Basic German. It was a 14 day session with 2 hours daily. Initially it went very enthusiastically but in-between I have to break for 2 days after which I could never catch the pace of the course. But still its one of the interesting learning. Anyhow I don’t want to involve myself in any development team. And much satisfied to have working with a testing team.
But what happens in the future no one knows..! I may be stagnant in the same position or could have risen in the levels nor I could take some petty less demanding jobs and satisfied with it can enjoy the lovely ambience of Chennai! As of now just I am waiting for the months to roll out. In-between I intend to prepare for competitive exams like UPSC. I am eagerly waiting for the time to post its reply.
Hope I wouldn't bored you much!.
Sometimes Introspections are boring because it analayses our faults not the others!. But I hope reading others introspections is always a hotcake!

MayaKannadi - Review

Director Cheran's latest venture is with the message that Cine industry, a dreamland of millions is actually a nightmare . Its the story of how a hair dresser who owns a descent life dreams of a cini entry and ruins his life, with the sudden twists in the story line. Cheran has strived to change his get up in the first half while he turns to his usual style in the second. Its a very common Tamil cini story which has been seen through the ages, but cheran is trying to give it under the differnt capsule. A good entertainer atleast in the first half.

Coming to the actors, the person who donned as father of Navya, is actinng good, pats to director to have shown him as an practical father. i.e He is not opposing the love of his daughter instead explains his family situation and urges him to earn 2 lacks in a year ( which is little weired! ).
Songs are not so catchy, hard to believe Raja's music.
I would say cheran has deviated from his track when compared with Autograph and Thavamai thavamirindu. Still he can be patted for not relying on masalas nor the kind of item numbers.
On a lighter vein it is the cherans way of telling story to SJ Surya's way of "Vyabar", where the hero's aims to earn atleast a ruppee greater than Billgates :-). And thank god Tamil people have already greeted "Vyabar" with empty seats.
