Yaaradi Nee Mohini - Vennmegam with english subs

Yaaradi Nee Mohini - Vennmegam with english subs


has the beautiful clouds turned into a girl?

playing with me always...

you bring back many memories to the fore...

and my heart goes restless..

why don't you speak a word?

why don't you give a single glance?

you bring back many memories to the fore...

and my heart goes restless..

has the beautiful clouds turned into a girl?

playing with me always...

you are alluring twilight... you are lighting...

a fire that leaves anyone coming into contact with you in tears...

my love tell the truth...your smile makes other women jealous...

this angel resides in a temple, not in a house...

i can see the footprints of goddess...

dearth of words to praise your beauty...

i am just sliding aside closing my eyes...i am experencing joy in tears...


you bring back many memories to the fore...

and my heart goes restless...

you have won all our hearts...

from where did you learn this trick?

you trapped me with a wink...

you ordered me to carry you in the palanquine...

i am living for the day to tie the knot with you...

what will happen to my love?will it get stamped by your feet?


has the beautiful clouds turned into a girl?

playing with me always...

Is blogging a best medicine

I have been blogging for last two years, but I have never given a thought about it...

last week I was reading a article from newsweek which says blgging is a therapy...

It says blog as an platform for a creative outlet...

And according to the mental health experts, blog is a medicine...

In a forthcoming study for cyber psychology and behavior says that a blogger is happier than a non blogger...

Blog is a step up of old diaries...

But bloggers should be careful while writing since we can reveal too much, which can bring guilt and shame...

So it is suggested that blog the heart's content, and give roam for the readers to imagine...

Now I knew why I feel relaxed and happy when I blog...

It removes all the stress and tension...

If you dont have a blog,why don't you try it...

The link of the real article is below

15000 words split up

As every one know I am doing my final dissertation for my master's degree...

Today I thought of starting the write up as it is high to start it... its already july and have to submit it by mid of september...

Before satrting I was stuck, this is not because of I am running out of materials...

It is because of word count that should be cared for each section...

I don't want to end up writing one section with huge number of words and other section lacking in words...

So I tried to find out through my seniors and friends...

but no one has got any clue about it...

Later in the evening I found it through google search...

I am adding those required word counts in each section which I found from some other website...

I think this will be useful for you all...
Introduction - 900 words
Research Context and Objectives - 2200 words
Literature Review - 5,500 words
Research Methodology - 2,600 words
Research Results - 2,800 words
Conclusion - 1,200 words
Hope this will be usefull for you all too...

News Channels Hype

In cnn-ibn I could see a case very often...when ever I see that channel I could see the same news...
this is the limit.. I think media blow up has made this case " HIGH PROFILE "
But the question that's going through my mind is, Is this case deserve so much time and the hype that its getting ?
Its sucha a sad thing that media is making money and tearing apart sumones personal life..
why should I bother whether Aarushi's murder was a case of Dis-functional family or another of those Servant's Mischiefs...
And there is hardly anything left for 24 Hours news channel's to show.. They show this thing 12hours a day and the things that are more important to the entire nation are just clubbed in another section of the news...
can't they focus on issues related to national development rather than this crap and to add to this they have taken over the job of CBI themselves and are findin it pretty interesting doing investigations of their own and predicting interesting stories and encouraging public to imagine stories of their own and send to them.. Weren't these news channels supposed to be more Responsible ?

water in room

These are few snaps to prove the statements made by accomodation management

:::value for money:::
Water was leaking in my room from top floor at early morning 0300 hrs, ruining my sleep....

Actually I dnt know from what time it was leaking but I found it at 0300 hours...

While sleeping I found some water in my hands, I thought it is in my dreams but I suddenly woke up to find this...

When I woke up, I found whole floor with water...

I tried to call for assistance in the helpline provided by the accomodation management during emergency but I was shocked by what was told by the helpline guy...

He said, he can't help as cotton mills managment has not paid them...

To make the matter worse the alarm started to ring due to short circuit... Everyone in my floor woke and they gave me company as there is no one to switch off the alarm and if we turn it off then we have to pay fine...

It was fixed after 0900 hrs in the morning...

This reflects the bad management and poor architecture of house...


water dripping through fire alarm from upper floor



collecting dripping water from leak

I couldn't upload the video of water inside kitchen as the size of the video is too large...

Situation of India in 1835



Time can make us forget

Time can make us forget some memories,


but there would be some memories which make us


forget the time and those make the life worthwhile......




Don't go the way life takes you but take the life the way you go.

Remember you are born to live and
not living because you are born

Oil price


This is painful fact that fuel price rise is unavoidable. There are few oil producing countries are challenging the world economy by constantly increasing the crude oil prices.


Government can't help in bringing the fuel price down. It is we, who can try using less fuel.


But government can also stop utilising wasting fuel by freely giving away fuels to their ministers. A lot of resources has been invested and wasted on Indian ministers who are not worth of so much luxurious life.


This oil price can be maintained by us. It is in our habds now to allow another price hike or not. We can maintain it by learning methods to conserve the fuel property and use less fuel quantity.


If we try and use more of public transport rather than using personal vehicles, we can reduce the consumption of fuel, there by maintaining this fuel price for coming years.


Indian government should do something to stop the wastage of fuel by the ministers. If goverenment cuts the fuel consumption then I think, we could save a lot of fuel. Govenrment minister uses 10-15 cars just to travel from one point to another.


Government should improve bus and train system so that most people can use it as a source of transport for their daily work.


Atlast this increase in fuel prices lead to more insatbility and economic losses to a country. This makes poor become even poorer.


This is a time to unite and work together to tackle the problem but instead opposition and left parties are making it as a political fortune since elections are due next year.


Even this will continue when they come to power.


This is India, politicians will never improve, few things will never change.


~~Cheers~~


Inflation rises to 8.24%


Worries about the inflation continues and are haunting UPA government.


Increasing food and fuel price has further increased the inflation to 8.24%. This inflation percentage is till 24th may. With this growing inflation government of India has further increased the fuel and gas price.


The increase is by Rs 5 for petrol, Rs 3 for diesel and a cylinder of cooking gas is now increased by Rs 50.


Analysts say that this inflation may go past 9% which was seen some 13 years back.


Now the government is to keep a constant price ahead of state polls this year and central election i.e. national election next year. Already Congress has lost their power in few states recent one is Karnataka.


Government is trying hard to keep the inflation low by cutting import duties on edible oil. And have banned the export of rice. Government is even forcing cement and steel companies to cut the price.


Lets see how UPA government tackles this problem.

journey to west

I am exactly 10 days away before the actual day that I will leave my Malaysia terchenta... harharhar...
hurm... so far, havent done any real preparations except for a really BIG suitcase, which is courtesy of kak An and Abg Saiful, along with some proper/suitable clothings for the place im heading to, also from both of them....
at this moment... idont really emotionally feel anything... im not the least excited...nor am I psyched about the fact that ill be goin there... mayb the fact that ill be goin there to study instead of following a group vacation tour has the effect on dampening my mood ...
moreover, there is the fact that if i f**k this up, I am entitled to pay a total amount of 400 K Malaysian Ringgit to the Malaysian Govt - wic basically makes tis trip a trip for me to work my ass off and pass every paper without fail...
aside from that ill also be leaving my sweet ila behind.. yesyes.. call me jiwang or whatever - but - after a year of being in a relationship tht grows stronger each day - and spending almost every weekend together by either watching movies, hanging around timesquare (our fav place) - or just lepaking around - I cant imagine how I am gonna leave her behind... harhar.. the previous few lines do sound a bit melodramatic... but who cares...
ok...sappy moods aside..
the thing tht I can look forward to is that - Ill be able to embark on something which is totally new... will also be able to push the boundaries of my comfort zone by goin sumwer wer ill be a foreigner for a change instead of forever mentally typecasting the indons and bangladeshis as the only known 'pendatang''... harhar...
actually thers like tonnes of other stuffs tht ill be able to look forward to... but, I am too lazy to type them down

alrite then...
take care n god bless

journey of a boy

This is a story of a boy...he came from the village where the name of where he lives is based on the physical nature of the steam there, crooked that is. He is from Batu Pahat and his village is Parit Bengkok...not that the parit is still bengkok it is just a name...this story is not about his crooked stream at home...it is about him...since secondary school..this boy never stayed at home much...he went to boarding since 13 up till the SPM....though sometimes he regretted the move to Muar to study...he still hold the belief that there is a plan unknown to him...his SPM in Science Muar enabled him to further his studies in Malacca...for 1 year he was in matriculation...knowing he was not good enough to be a MD he just tried his best to get into a Public High Learning Institution...finally he made it in 2003 to do his bachelor in a very famous university in his country, University of Malaya In UM, he wanted to get into chemistry considering he was good in matriculation so he tried to do it...for 3 semesters he failed to show good results...he can only blame himself for not trying hard enough...so he decided he should go for another stream...considering his options and also recommendations...he went into geology for the 2nd semester in his 2nd year...yeah the faculty that rocks...but his head could not absorb so absurd studies so he failed himself again...But then this angel came and told him try to do SPAS in biology...and considering this was his only chance to perform he made the move to ISB...he knew he was good in biology since secondary school he knew why didn't he got into this stream much more earlier...God knows what is best for him and he sent her to save this confused human of his uncertainties...thank you So life in biology was like 2nd nature to him...not only he was well aware of the target set upon him he was much more dedicated with some support coming from this angel...so he defy what was history to him and found new ground to it his own...a new fascination came that he knew was inevitable...the element that permits life on earth has made his mind to further study it and this fascination become a passion destined to change the present...doing a thesis in water related matters made him aware that there is more than just a common necessity to life that can be learn from H2O...finally graduated with a CGPA taht almost doubled of what he got in his freshman year made much more fire in him to strive for more success and looking back that the days of his failings will always remind him that never to give up hope and always persevere. Right after graduation he got a job related to what he had studied..though it was not of his passion he was greatful and fortunate to have secured employment this early...a Japanese company gave him an opportunity to learn his trade...for 6 months he learn what is it like to have a career...he now knew that learning does not end after graduation thus it still continues in work...though unfortunate for him not to continue his services with this giant company he is well aware that the future is not bleak for him but bright of more opportunities...for now he is just waiting for a chance given to him again to show his worth either to strive and be a good employee not only to serve but also to bring change or turn academic sharing and giving ideas that the young guns of tomorrow should think out of the box and not be too comfortable of the more familiar waters...so for now the story is hanging at a point of unknown plot but the ending will always be the same...this boy will surely live out his dream and passion together with every person that he holds dear...

Half way Crossed


Oh god, give me strength, insight, prospect and audacity to complete my dissertation and graduate with flying colours.

Finally, I have finished my first part of my MSc. This means no lectures, assignments and no more exams. I have almost finished with my MSc.

But all the tension and panics with this course have not ended. The biggest challenge is final dissertation. Since my school has declared the project very late, we don’t have enough time to literature review.

I have just 10 weeks or may be till mid of August to complete all my lab works and start with my write up.

By the mid of September I have to submit my dissertation and by in any case I could not complete my dissertation within that given period, then I have to apply for extension which will delay my graduation and thereby extending visa.

Anyway I wanted to complete my dissertation on time without any hindrance.

My second semester results are due for June 13. If want it early then I can collect it from tutor on June 13th or If I intend to wait and not to face my tutor then I can get it on my portal on June 16th.

So, dear all please do pray for my success.

Thank you….

~~Cheers~~

Tackling Teen Age Drinking in UK


Last week, British government has passed a order to stop the teen age drinking.

This law is more stricter to the parents rather than the drinking children.

According to this the parents who are unable to sstop their children from consuming alcohol could be jailed.

this plan is forced to check the underage drinking, which is growing concern in UK.

This orders are to be used against those parents of young children who are trapped drinking alcohol publicly.
The government is targeting parents who fail to stop their children from drinking.

Parents who fall short to take action under this new parenting orders, are in verge to face heavy fines and may end up behind the bars. they can even be sent for community service.

This type of drinking i.e. under 18 drinking in public or privately is wrong, since this increases crimes and sometimes puts young children in the dangerous situations. this type also induces anti social behavoiour. there by spoiling the growth of the individual and the country.

But government should have done something to restrict the sales of alcohol to under 18 drikers rather than imposing stricter parenting orders. If we see T.V. every other add is about the alcohol. So some steps should be taken to control this.

When we have problem in the base of the building, then it is very difficult to control at the top floor.

Harmonizing with nature


Being to some city for the first time…

Fascinated with the splendid magnificence of the place…

The loveliness renovated by mutual efforts of both man and nature…

A town in a mountainous area, adjoining a river…so stunning it is…

The sun thrashing its timidity in the wrap of clouds…the sunrays staring at the gilded plane of the river…the current of air passing messages among the two…

An isle able to be seen in the centre of the river, balancing the pace among a variety of harmony of the environment....a crowd of ducks and swans at one area…

People playing sports with water…examining it play with the airstreams wordlessly…taking pleasure in the harmony…

I still contain it all animated in my eyes…I’m unsmilingly valuing the moments when I was there…as an ingredient of the natural world…

Enjoying…

~~Cheers~~

Price Hike... of Petrol,Diesel n Gas.. Justified ?

This is the talk and concern of the entire nation...



There has been a Drastic price rise in the Prices of Fuels like Petrol, Diesel and The most common Gas Cylinder... !!!



IS it justified..



Has it become inevitable to rise the prices ?



Also consider the fact that the Govt's failed to contain Inflation rate which's settin an All TIme/ High Every Week.. !!!



And Rise in Such Fuels Prices would certainly mean a Rise on Each and Every Commodity as They all Depend on Transport...



So should we expect the Inflation to Cross all D limits ? Or is it tat Gov is Helples concerning the Fact That the World Oil Prices and Other prices too are on an all time high and so...



Even we are hit by it.. !!!



Do consider the fact that the Govt has also provided us wid the one of the Heighest Growth rates in the World and They Give the explanation of Price hike as to Reduce the Burden on Coming Generations as India's cannot Fulfill the Entire Fuel Demand by itself.. !!!

Hibernation


I know that i am writing after long time. I have created this long gap of not updating my blog for a month, after three months of continuous post then suddenly vanished in April or just posted some technical stuff.

This period was too long and it was bit hard for me to update it since I was meeting coursework submission deadlines during April and after that second semester exams in may.

This may be considered as hibernation period. Now that I am done with all my works, I can post it regularly.

Lots of things happened during this gap and I could not update it. Sorry for being helpless.
You can find lots of updates in the upcoming months.

Thanks for all those who have visited my blog during my absence.

Discovering expression

My mind is so empty and blank with nothing to write and blog...

It happens when you don’t have anything to post...

I won’t say I don’t have anything to write even my alphabets and my nasty cry for nothing to write can fill in this post...

Sometimes I have a lot of idea to write while sitting in front of computer and sometimes there is hardly any topic to write... it depends on the state of mind...

The very difficult thing in posting is giving title to the post with s much post... it is always difficult to post distinct and unique title for all the post...

You know one thing I am biggest fan of my own post... how many of you read your old post... I do like to read through my favourite topics form old archives...

An old post refreshes the memories... I feel damn good to go through old memories...See at last I filled the post with few craps... I was successful enough to come up with some post when I have anything to write...

Promise to come up with something good with next time...

are we really safe in this country ?

yesterday watever happened in jaipur left behind a number of questions .The state govt blamed the central govt for not having a tough law to counter terror the central govt retaliated with some stuff but the question that should be taken up is still unanswered ....

(1) jaipur blast
(2) blast in hyderabad
(3) blasts in local trains
(4) terror attcak at isc banglore
(5) terror attacks in kashmir on day to day basis
(6) several terrorists were arrested in the capital .

what does this mean that terror phenomenon is gripping us from all sides from kashmir to bangluru they plan well and execute that where is our intelligence mechanism. Has it really failed . There are no tough laws even if a person is proven guilty by the highest court then even we are not able to hang him for his involvement in the parliamement case. are we really safe what are the measures being taken by the govt with restpect to our security .

the problem is we hate ourself when we try to.....

...... secure our self, just like narendra modi cm of gujarat. he had more hateness then any indian against terrorist ever had. sometime i dont understand what kind of "Love" we are talking about. there is one thing to note so many muslim leader have come out to go in aginst him. including movie stars but they have never gone in against of doud, molana masood azhar and so many of them our youth and may be our media dont even know their name or dont want to talk about them. cause if talking about narendra modi can get more TRP then why they want to talk about Molana Masood Azhar! even i want to ask you guys! any one dose know molana masood azhar? and wht did he do?

Is ambani's new house on legal property

The man who almost stalled Mukesh Ambani’s $2-billion dream home by alleging that it stands on wakf land has been transferred by the Maharashtra government.

Hearing a petition seeking restoration of the plot to the Maharashtra State Board of Wakf, the Supreme Court had refused on Thursday to intervene in the matter pending before Bombay High Court.

The next morning, the board’s chief executive officer, A.R. Shaikh, was transferred. The 27-storey building — tagged the world’s most expensive home — is coming up on a plot that was originally wakf property but it was sold to Ambani.

The wakf board headed by Shaikh had alleged last year that the sale of the land in 2002 was illegal. An inquiry was instituted against it’s then chairman, M.A. Aziz, who was accused of selling the property at Rs 21 crore, much below the market rate of Rs 400 crore, without the board’s permission.

Five years later, in October 2007, the high court stayed a Maharashtra government’s decision to cancel sale of the land. The government had held that the 4,500-square-metre plot was wakf property and could not be sold.Only seven storeys of Ambani’s house had been completed then.

Today, the building, named Antilla, is 17 storeys high and construction of the remaining 10 is on at full swing. “The high court order had not given any instruction for a stay on Antilla’s ongoing construction,” a wakf board trustee said.

Shaikh was scheduled to file an application in the high court seeking a stay on the construction this week. “I am a government officer. I will comply with the government order.

If the government does not want me, I will not stay here,” Shaikh told The Telegraph today. He had joined the wakf board on deputation from the rural development department.

A deputation is usually for three years, but in Shaikh’s case, it has lasted one and a half.

Favorite Song

These are few lines from lage raho munna bhai

शहर की इस दौड़ में दौड़ के करना क्या है?

जब यही जीना है दोस्तों तो फ़िर मरना क्या है?

पहली बारिश में ट्रेन लेट होने की फ़िक्र है भूल गये भीगते हुए टहलना क्या है?

सीरियल्स् के किर्दारों का सारा हाल है मालूम पर माँ का हाल पूछ्ने की फ़ुर्सत

कहाँ है?

अब रेत पे नंगे पाँव टहलते क्यूं नहीं?

108 हैं चैनल् फ़िर दिल बहलते क्यूं नहीं?

इन्टरनैट से दुनिया के तो टच में हैं,

लेकिन पडोस में कौन रहता है जानते तक नहीं.

मोबाइल, लैन्डलाइन सब की भरमार है,

लेकिन जिग्ररी दोस्त तक पहुँचे ऐसे तार कहाँ हैं?

कब डूबते हुए सुरज को देखा त, याद है?

कब जाना था शाम का गुज़रना क्या है?

तो दोस्तों शहर की इस दौड़ में दौड़् के करना क्या है

जब् यही जीना है तो फ़िर मरना क्या है?

Dis-Orientation

There is no such thing as personal time.

Make your money work for you.

Take a holistic approach to your work.

Casual leave. VOIP. Teamwork.

The past week has been a blur of catchphrases, technical terms, keywords, acronyms and whatnot.

Met a LOT of people, can correlate maybe half their names and faces .,,

In an unknown city, house-hunting is biggest difficulty.

Got a wide variety of free food several times daily.

All in all it's been interesting.

Olympic torch : London protest

 

_44548341_protester_ap226b

On Sunday the 06 April 2008, Olympic torch was invited with widespread protest and scuffle between police and demonstrators.The seen was more like an protest against the recent issues of china with Tibet.

I was watching in the television that few demonstrators tried to snatch the Olympic torch from the runners and even one of the demonstrator tried to put off the flame with fire extinguisher.

I learned through news that atleast  three dozen of protestors were arrested for disrupting the torch relay.

Security persons have to cut short the torch relay in London, after the heavy protest. It has to go thorough 31 miles. But most part of the relay was covered by carrying the torch in bus.

I don't agree in mixing sports with the politics. Olympic game is the biggest sporting event and it is not only for China but it is for the entire world. Mixing the politics into torch relay in London and Paris won't make any changes in the China nor Tibet is going to get independence.

I am not going to comment about the china and Tibet stand, I will rather prefer to stay away from this talk. I think this is utter waste of energy and time to try and convince those radical people.

But China would have never thought of getting into the trouble so much. It would have thought of making huge money by conducting the game. China  is now trapped in its own trap.

We have to appreciate Tibet for using the conditions in their favour. Through this they have attracted the entire world to look into them and have attracted the human rights for their support.

I am sure such demonstration won't even a minute difference to china. I believe if we want to support Tibet really then we can do that by simple way i.e. just by boycotting cheap electronic and household goods imported from china. This way will really make a difference to china rather than going on streets and protesting.

Finally, awarding Olympic games host to the China was the biggest mistake.

"WE NEED PEACEFUL OLYMPICS"

Hogganikal: Tamilnadu Govt. Stand

st_tamilnadu

After much of the protest in various places and by many organisations, finally Tamilnadu government puts a hold on the Hogganikal project till the end of the Karnataka state assembly election.

Chief minister of Tamilnadu but made the point clear that if the solution is awful after the election, then Tamil's won't sit silently.

By this statement he is clearly referring that the tensions may prevail after the Karnataka state assembly elections.   

This decision by Tamilnadu government has opened a space for speculation against government. Now the government is under criticism by various opposition parties and by public.

In my view, this is decision is taken to support congress in Karnataka as DMK is in its allies in the centre. So DMK don't want to upset the government in the centre

Is copyright right to copy in India?

History repeats itself at least for Indian cinema

recently When accused that his movie is straight copy from hollywood movie The dream team,director of Krazzy 4 Jaideep Sen said that the similarity in the films is “sheer coincidence.”

This is not the first time even in Past there has been such incidents

1) Sony Pictures Entertainment threatened to sue producers K Sera Sera for $30 million for copying the Will Smith-starrer Hitch into Partner.

2)in 2003,Barbara Taylor Bradford filed a suit against the channel claiming that it's serial Karishma was a copy of her novel A Woman of Substance.

I am also told Munnabhai mbbs is an inspired movie along with likes of

Kaante,Baazigar,zeher etc.(list is too long)

Are copyright laws doing enough to protect the intellectual property in India?

Bursting sphere

Whenever I have a really big argument or am upset about something, I prefer to channel the anger into organising something, or going for a walk by myself.

Yesterday at about eight in the night, I found myself walking along the rain drenched roads, splashing not so clean water onto my freshly laundered jeans. With the songs of 'Sivaji' playing in my ears and a brisk bounce in my step I managed to walk, or rather wear, most of my anger out.
The past few days have been a little affecting, to say the least. I have slowly built some semblance of order into my life where I find that I have a tight circle of friends where I am comfortable. And though old memories sometimes haunt me, I don't long for old times.
Break ups in relationships can bring out the bad and the good in people. I wont pretend that I haven't said a lot of things I didn't regret, and on reflection, I could have handled a lot of situations much better. But I also seem to have seized the opportunity to emerge stronger. I have been doing certain things for myself that I should have done a long time ago.
Sometimes I wonder 'what if' and if anything, at all, is permanent. People who I call friends, I expected them to permanent. But even that may not stand the test of time and trust. But once that bond is broken, it's hard to get it back. I realised that the hard way. And Im not yet ready to give that either. With a lot of unresolved matters, letting bygones be bygones would be apt. People move on. Personally, I don't think I have the strength again to place trust and love in a once soured relationship.
Ages ago, I made a mistake with a friend of mine. But it got sorted out well. Now I think something similar has happened to me..only I am on the receiving end. Full circle. Perhaps I don't have a right to be, but am quite hurt about it.
Its almost twelve. But all my belongings are superficially organised and I don't quite think I can go for a walk by myself right now....

swing

After a long time today, I set foot in a park. And swung on a swing, if that is how it is called. The park had a huge iron bridge, that we had to cross. And quite steep it was too..I slipped a couple of times and clutched at the hand rail a little cautiously. And glanced enviously at the little kids who scampered past me and over the bridge without a thought.

I would be lying if I said that I wasnt apprehensive as I approached the swings. But excitement overcame the apprehension and I tied up my dupatta and lightly sat on the swing, and tested it for weight, I was quite ok.

At first it felt pretty weird, because its been a while, but pretty soon I was swinging like a pro. The swing wasnt quite built for adults, and was, thus, quite low. I had to fold up my legs appropriately to achieve the momentum I wanted. And soon, I was laughing as I achieved higher heights. Im sure some people were quite startled to see an adult swinging on a child's swing right in the middle of a park, but that didnt quite matter.

Unfortunately, as much as I would like to go back to the age when I could swing for hours together, I must accept otherwise. In about ten minutes, my head was slightly spinning. And I had to stop, or risk throwing up. I sighed. I would have liked to swing a little longer.

As I walked back, it struck me that as time passes, we lose smaller moments like these, ones that we cherished when we were younger. The swings, dripping ice cream, playing silly games, and chasing each other around. I recaptured one, if only for a short while. Maybe Ill just drip ice cream all over and run around for a while.

its been a while

its been quite a while since i've blogged...ages really.. and in this time span i've started work...moved to a new place and met tons of new people...while at the same time, all my friends have found a job, moved away, continued studying or have gotten married. its weird. the whole concept of growing up. it seems like yesterday when i used to fight with my father's friends..and today, i'm working, they can't grasp the concept either.
Its like, you are so detached from what is happening, when in fact its your life you're watching unfold. its a concept i'm yet to grasp-one of responsibility, one of a world so different from the one you know at home and amongst friends. A world that isnt exactly enticing in its being either!!
But you learn to live. and that i believe i have; it is so true- the concept of survival of the fittest, though your definition of the fittest may differ from person to person...it is survival at the end of the day.
Its like everybody lives in parallel worlds. Everyone has a life that is moving in fast track. parallel and simultaneously, just very different from yours. Friends, Family,Strangers-everybody.
I guess this is what i dont understand...that every life is intertwined, as by the chaos theory but at the same time independent in its being...it has to be one of life's mysteries, one i'm not so sure would hold as much allure and questioning if someone were to stumble upon the answer :)

Live Funeral

This is the not a funny topic. It is real funeral that has gone live on Internet.

Few days back, I was going through some news then I was surprised to notice that in UK

"funeral is live".

You have to pay for every views. This service allows mourners from different parts of the world, who cannot attend funeral in person for their last respect.

I don't remember the name of the company which has launched this service.

You just have to pay around 75 pounds for the Webcast of the funeral then the service provider will give mourners a password to access.

The coverage is done with the small camera mounted in chapel.

I was amazed now, how human has advanced with his technologies.

But this advancements in technologies, has made human lazy and selfish.

Of course I accept that  families are scattered across the world and it is not always possible for every one to be on time for funeral.

But the  point is will this service give us the same feeling of being present ourselves in funeral.

I think with this live Webcast we won't be getting any real feeling rather it is only

"Virtual Feeling"

Shoaib Out of Cricket

SHOAIB_AKHTAR

All cricket fans got a shocking news from PCB on

"April Fool's Day"

News is not to make every one fool. Instead it is real.

Maverick, world's pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar was banned from playing cricket for five years.

Ban was imposed by Pakistan Cricket Board on the ground of

misconduct and;

repeated violation of players code of conduct.... 

This may end his international careers. Through out his career, he was always plagued with controversies.

This ban is for criticising PCB publicly.

He is banned from all forms of cricket. 

But he is allowed to play

"Indian Premium League".

This has ended his career of  eleven years of world's fastest bowler.

He will always be missed by  all cricket lovers ...

Reservation.... do we care??

Even beofre i write anything about the SC order for 27% reservation to OBCs in universities, i can't help but think that i don't care anymore. The reservation issue has been irritating and frustrating me for so long that now when i hear something about it, all i say is ... "to hell with it!!".

Is there a point talking about this anymore? nobody is listening, nobody is bothered. When the Supreme Court is dumb enough not to realize the gravity of this judgement, how can one expect politicians to!!

All said and done, it is a democracy. Ah, our beloved democracy. The only fucking problem is that indian majority is invariably wrong!! What about these SCs backing Mayawati and not realizing that they haven't gained shit during her reign apart from a dozen Ambedkar statues on the street crossings and parks. Even Mulayam singh appears an angel in comparison and we all know what a worthless soul he is.

When will we get any wiser? its not politicians playing the vote bank politics, its us who let them take us for a ride. When everyone and their aunts know that our leaders are backing reservation for votes and not for upliftment of the backwards, then why not vote them out? Oh, i forgot, we will vote them out. We always do. And then what? The alternative any better? I see myself writing the same shit about the next govt and then the next one and so on so forth.....

It doesn't end, ever. Its the supreme constant. The source of all things evil. Yet,central to everything. May be "govt" is the real god. Or may be the tangible form of god. But i'm glad atleast we are practising Polytheism. Makes us feel different and gives us a choice to decide whom we should let fuck us over.

Darkness

pd_darkness_071029_ms 

If there is something that...

I have studied in the last five years of my livelihood alone is...

That while everything around you appear to be smooth and perfect...

Then one has to be scared and worried...

I just got hold of a relationship that got foul and abusive in the end.

And now while I think of me to go ahead, I missed two of my excellent friends to anger and temper.

And a few quantities of apologies don’t give the impression to do the trick.

But there is furthermore difference on how I am treating it at this point.

I do, be fond of thinking that I am person with added self reliant.

Or possibly that’s a different mode of saying alone.

Reminiscences

16_05_76---Rain_web

The aroma of dried up soil and warm air baking outside...

Yes my first feeling of home.

I speculate occasionally how amusing and hilarious life is...

How certain effects touch us similar to a

Butterfly brushing by ...

but we slightest think about it...

I cherished the aroma that entrapped and caught me...

The whole thing from the tenderness and compassion of yesteryear’s blossom flaccid in the sun... dry brittle leaves scattered all above the soil.

The echo of horns, smoke partitions formed by transportation buses and the ear-splitting trading of street hawkers.

I am suddenly becoming a kid and the whole thing I saw and sensed was something I desire to treasure.

Not a thing wanted to wait for long and if I didn’t take hold of it now

It may dry up and wither off...

untouched

Have you ever noticed the manner drops of water flow along the windowpane...

When there is a heavy rain next time, remember my words, stop and have a glance at it.

I am in no doubt that everyone will like it.

~~Cheers~~

Schedules of a gloomy day...

FAF121003

What will you do when you feel low???

I have observed myself that I hang about at home & watch lots of movies...

Encompassed with a terrible, bad and awful day???

Park yourself on the settee for the entire day, eat junk foods and watching whatsoever movies I have or will go online to see movies...

Snooping to music will help to strengthen and deepen the feelings...

Send regrets to all invitations...

Ah, like a loser... Sucks uh???

As an alternative, I may go to the leisure centre or sports club...

I occasionally go for shopping and return back to my flat without buying anything...

I guess it is better and healthier than going away on a spree and feel sorry later...

But now I am not feeling

“LOW”

At the moment, but touchy and irritable enough to gripe and whine

~~Cheers~~

memories


The aroma of dehydrated soil and baking warm air outside...


Yap, this is about the emotions of my home...


I sometime question to myself, how amusing and hilarious my life was...


And certain effects in our life tap us like a butterfly brushing and we least care for it. I treasured the smell that captured me.


The whole lot is from the warmth of yesteryear, buds flaccid in sun to the parched brittle leaves scattered over the earth. The noise of horns, the smoulders from the vehicles especially government buses and street hawkers shouting to sell.


I am behaving like a childish manner, as if I want to turn into kid once more. The things what I saw and felt from my yesteryears are something which I want to treasure. These memories are biggest wealth for me.


~~Cheers~~

BLACK GOOGLE...

google black screen

Surprise surprise... has anyone seen this  kind of black Google search homepage.

Probably no body in any part of the world have seen this kind except Google search users of UK on Saturday, 29 march 2008.

So, I investigated why the page colour has been changed to black from white. The reason was quite interesting.

Google corp call it as

"turned the light out"

In, Google.co.uk homepage,  this was done as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called "EARTH HOUR".

But they admit that it wont save any energy by doing this as now modern displays consumes same amount of energy irrespective of what colour they display.

So on 29 March 2008, Earth Hour invites  people aroung the globe to turn off their lights for just one hour from 20:00 to 21:00 hours.

Apart from UK, this event will be held in many cities around the globe.

I am joining this awareness campaign, If you also want to commit to this awareness, try to save energy

Expensive Birthday Gift....

_44450765_betwin203

Yesterday I was cleaning my cupboard, then I found a old newspaper not much just one month old. I saw a news which I found, would be interesting to share with you all.

A gambler who has spend only 50 pence  as his birthday bet for a net  of  one million pound.

Freddie Craggs who won a cool one million pound after placing an eight race accumulator bet on horses in a some bookie shop.

Mr. Craggs, he had another reason to celebrate apart from his big win, that is his 60th birthday.

I suppose everyone will envy this guy's luck.

I am also thinking to try my hands in this gambling game, but never know if I could ever win.

This is a game of chance and luck.

Cricket Ogle

A fan indicates where his support lies, India v Australia ODI series, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, October 4, 2007

I am a self-confessed neurotic fan of this sport:):)

I have been following this sport from the time of my childhood, if I am correct then from the past 15 years, but I have never stumble upon such a year in its record.

Yes, this year India was knocked out in the World Cup but later this year in which India won the first ever Twenty-twenty world cup. I am talking about the year 2007 so don’t confuse yourself.

We as supporters of this sport, have had a roller-coaster trip of passion, we mock them subsequent to the shocking exit from the world cup and illustrated honour and admiration when they won the T20 cup.

Let’s have a look up into 2007 team changes before world cup...

2007 started with Saurav Ganguly publicize his come back to the team with outstanding batting and good score against South Africa which reserved his hold in the World cup squad.

The team to West Indies had a lots of debut player in foreign land outside Asia few names are

v M.S Dhoni,

v Robin Uthappa,

v Shreeshant,

v Munaf Patel,

v Dinesh Kartik

The mature sheep’s in the company of Captain Rahul Dravid leading from the front.

But who possibly will have dreamed that India will be beaten to Bangladesh and bundle its bag in the first leg of the play-offs.

Well they faced terrible cost when they arrive at home since we all know how acutely we capture Cricket. Once the blame game going ahead it ruined with Greg Chappell’s resignation and shortly the heroes of yesteryear were made to seem like nil.

At last the Aussies bagged the top nobility making it three times in a row.

The World cup tragedy followed India’s tour to Bangladesh in which the Indian split them separately and take vengeance of the defeat of the world cup.

India subsequently played against England and South Africa, in which they showed some standard and managed to win test series aboard following a gap of more than 5 years.

September set the stage for the foremost ever twenty-twenty cricket world cup, which was a shorter edition of the sport and guaranteed a great cricketing experience. Not a single soul possibly will even envision in their deadliest dream that India could carry the credit.

The 20-20 cup was a greeting shock for the whole nation, initially no one expected India to set off so distant in the competition without senior players in the dressing room and pound Australia and South Africa.

But the young team brought it on and played like champions hammering Pakistan in a finishing game with remembrance.

This year focused an extraordinary revival of Cricketing bent in India’s arsenal. And the prospect gives the impression of being dazzling.

University Life


My undergraduate studies are over and now I am in doing my post graduate studies, although I still experience that I have just joined my undergraduate studies college just now... I surprise how swift the years is on the trot...


Well lots of excellent and horrific experience I dig up in these years... minute stuff that I wanted to share here


I completed my schooling in Port Blair, Andaman Islands, India... I move towards Chennai for my engineering undergraduate studies... I was awfully anxious regarding this metro city... primarily I was concerned regarding the struggle in studies... the whole thing appear to be fresh and unfamiliar in singara Chennai...


At last subsequent to these four years, I experience that I have evenly struggled with my mates and I have personalized myself to this Chennai city...


First and second year moved up so slickly... I was extremely demanding in my studies I had 6 papers in second year... no instance for leisure... The most excellent ingredient in second year vacation was the Implant training ... Just benefited from entire 14 days of my guidance BHEL, Ranipet, Tamilnadu, India...


Third year on the whole was very essential year... many quarrel and self-esteem hitch among my friends... serious contest in the studies and placements... A lot of frustration and disappointment... These instances prepared me so settled and complete... I recognized friends well again...


Final year, in full swing with 14 days university trip, the symposium managing efforts and bunking modules... dead to the world (sleeping) in module all time... in reality I dig up so trouble free regarding the course... Final semester with only twice per week operational... Only 3 modules and dissertation project not a immense pact...


After coming out of undergraduate studies I moved into another University for my post graduate studies. But this time I am not afraid of the metro city in India but now I am moving to foreign land. I have never been outside India. Actual reason for fear is that I was to go alone as I have applied for visa late due to bank loan problem and there is no arrangement of accommodation was made. Anyway I reached safely and arranged accommodation. But another reason to fear is I am the only guy with no experience and straight into masters after undergraduate studies with out entering industry. Rest of the guys in my batch are into industry for more than four years. Anyhow I am doing very good with them and working hard to go with there pace. Now only 5 months more is left for the completion of course. Applied for many industries for job and attended few phone interviews.


I am unsmilingly assessing regarding what I have gained knowledge in these years, not anything much... I have not got better with any skills in these years... I had no big affection to my university and my university buddies...But silent with feeling blue since I am leaving to overlook the excitement and enjoyment I had in my university life... My friends who hold me when I actually don't hunt...


All I am appearing presumptuous currently to go into a company life...


Let me check how it’s going to delight me…


~~Cheers~~

USELESS ISSUES

caste3

This critique is about the largest problem I may rather say biggest hitch of INDIA. It may develop in economy and most of the people are highly knowledgeable, fashionable and modern in their life style but still there thinking is not modern and stylish.

I am from south India so, I know this is more of a problem in south India. But it doesn’t mean that North India don’t have this problem, they too have it.

Tranquil with the practical and sensible life, highly respected, cherished and well educated people still consider inter-caste/religion marriage is a sin and offence.

Such folks don’t want to come up to converse what the issue with it is.

They are just concerned that it’s incredibly diverse and don't recognize about the outcome of the same and assume it won’t work.

We, humans factually know what is good and bad in the true sense. We know to register a police case is the right thing to do after meeting with an accident...

But how many of us did that, even I never did that.

We know what’s right,

But we don’t do it.

Just don’t do it and blame everybody in the society.

What religion or caste is for after all... it’s for betterment of our lives not anything more, not anything less.

If that’s not serving, then why to be bothered about the same…

I don’t think am rational... I am still traditional and conservative.

But this doesn’t come up to a realistic and rational point of view. It’s just commonsense and logical.

To those who mind their caste or creed whatever...

A simple punch line

“Instance doesn’t hang around if you are xxx religion or belief and faith and doesn’t stop if you are in xxxx religion... Everything in life is identical mate, whatsoever, wherever, whoever!”

 

~~Cheers~~
