What did i do big daddy??

2008-08-08T03:10:00.000-07:00

That is exactly what i would ask if i were given a chance to meet some kingpin from Google.
I am still a PR0,irrespective of a PR5 backlink and few more PR3 ,2 links.

I thought, may be it was because of the sponsored posts shit that i was involved in,a few months ago.
I have deleted every trace of that,but,still, no sign of sunshine here.

Lesson Learned,Aptitude xams = Have to prepare

2008-06-30T05:10:00.000-07:00

Today was the first time after 3 years I was appearing for an aptitude exam.The occasion was my first On-Campus placements from one of my dream companies ,"INFOSYS",and i got rejected in the first rounds.The last time this happened was in my AIEEE exam.
When it comes to aptitude ,my mind never thinks the smartest way.I always tend to think conventionally.So, after one stage ,i give up my preparations and just go with the current.This attitude of mine has not changed since my schooling days.Now,this has cost me something bigger,"a placement".

Now the lesson is learned, Aptitude exams = Preparations.

Current Emotions = Sad,unhappy,dejected,angry,frustrated,humiliated. : (

DAS avataram - Kamal Wins

2008-06-17T23:06:00.000-07:00

Saw Dasavataram yesterday.More correctly i should say Experienced Dasavatharam yesterday,because,Dasavatharam can now on be used as an verb replacing acting.Such is the brilliance of Padma Shree Kamal Hassan.He has donned ten different roles in one single film and excelled in every single of them.He is a real Professional.

4 or 5 odd Characters that he portrayed were so damn realistic that i felt like seeing 4 different actors portraying 4 different characters.Such was the brilliance of Kamal's acting.

POSITIVES ::

1)Kamal Hassan

2)Kamla Hassan
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
10)Kamal Hassan

11)Director - K.S.RaviKumar-He has done a wonderful job.

12)Asin is also good

13)The Make up man - Terrific job by this guy

NEGATIVES ::

1) Very Poor Graphics- Could have concentrated on this more.At Places,as my friend Ramanan says,the graphics are too cartoony.

2)Mediocre Music.

On the whole , i would say that the movie is a brilliant showpiece for Kamal's acting talents.

Chennai-Kerala-Goa-Chennai

2008-06-12T07:39:00.000-07:00

This is going to be a VERY LONG post.If you want it in short then the story is: we went to kerala ,then to Goa,had fun,got into a lot of troubles and finally came back.But if ya want to know what those FUN were ,and what those TROUBLES were,then please read on.

Travelers: Me,Guru, Venkat, Krishna Prasad and Kaushik

ROUTE: chennai-vadakara-goa-bangalore-chennai

AMOUNT SPENT: 2500 APPROX
LINKS TO PHOTOS: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

DAY 1- 6/6/08:

Our actual plan was to go to Vadakara(meaning northern shore),a place on the northern coast of kerala,go to krishna's(alias kitcha here on) house at a place called thotilpalam(1 hr from vadakara),and return from there to chennai on 11 morning.we had tickets booked previously for this plan.

Morning at 6.30 we all(xept kaushik) met up at gurus place,and were having discussions as to what our plan was and suddenly Goa came into the picture.After 1 hour of discussion we all finally agreed for Goa.There was one small problem at this stage,Dilip(venkat's brother),who was actually to have come instead of kaushik ,was not ok with the plan and he backed off.So after few phone calls ,Kaushik was IN.(I still wonder how he managed to convince his parents for a trip like this having known about it jus 2 hours b4).
So,we canceled our return tickets and booked two fresh tickets - one from Vasco Da Gama to Bangalore and other from Bangalore to Chennai.

FUN -After all this we all met up as at station and we were off to Kerala by 5.10.The journey was awesome.Mostly we spent our time sitting near the stairs,chatting and we seldom went to our seats(At this stage we didn't know the value of a seat:( ).After 12 hours of chit chat,eating,coffee drinking at each station,and 4 hours of sleeping we finally reached Vadakara at 5 in the morning.- FUN

DAY 2- 7/6/08:

FUN- The station was pitch dark.Thanks to me ,i bought my torch,we managed our way out of the station and after an enquiry we found out that our train to Goa was that night at 7.45.
After this we walked about 1 km in pitch darkness and chill drizzle to reach Vadakara bus terminus from where we took the first bus to Thotilpalam at around 6.It was a 1hr 10 min ride
through the roads of Gods Own Country(Rightly said) to thotilpalam. -FUN

FUN-Krishna's house was 15 min walk away.Houses in Kerala are damn good.Each house spans over an area of 2 grounds with compulsorily a well and a garden of trees,separating the neigbhouring house ,500 meters away.His house was no exception.- FUN

FUN-At this stage we met a new character -Kitcha's cousin-Rahul.I should say,this guy was extremely friendly and was very adjustable.He stayed with us till we left Vadakara ,took us to all beautiful places in vadakara ,waited for hours together to have lunch with us and above all kept a smile in his face and never complained.-FUN

FUN-Rahul took us to the lake which was some 2 kms away.The small walk to the river was awesome.We noticed a variety of flora and fauna which made Kerala Gods own country(truly).We must have had a 2 hour bath at the lake.It was AWESOME.We never have had so much fun in any of the artificial swimming pools we have been to-it was damn awesome.-FUN

FUN-After the bath,we went to Rahul's house ,were we had lunch(It was good).I should again say here-The HOSPITALITY there was REALLY GOOD.We never felt like guests.After a nice lunch,we still had three hours to kill.Rahul then took us to two other places in the upstream of the river.One was like a curve that the river took and the other was this awesome picturesque place where the river flows down the hill through the rocks.This place was really really kul.At this stage we met another character called VISHNU(must have been 13 yrs old).This boy was really the king of trekking.He would manage to trek the rocks in seconds ,while we were, even struggling to stand on our feet.We had solid fun in the company of Rahul and Vishnu.After all this side seeing,we again left to Vadakara around 5.45.-FUN

TROUBLE-The travel to Vadakara this time was a roller coaster ride.The driver,i guess was previously riding a coaster.He kept the accelerator pinned at 7o's in the curvy downhills and maintained an average of about 90 at the ghat roads.We reached Vadakara around 7.30(After eating our dinner),got our open tickets to MADAGAON (Goa) and waited in the station till 8 for the Nethravathi Express.Till this point everything went on smooth and steady.We weren't prepared for something that was coming up.-TROUBLE

TROUBLE-We boarded the unreserved compartment at around 8,and the train started.The rush inside was unimaginable.We weren't getting air to breathe.Imagine a wall being built around you,so that you couldn't even move-that was our position there.To make things worse,we got place only near the toilets.One would get vexed up not for the shitty smell but for the infinite tines one had to adjust giving way to people using the toilets and to make things even worser ,people would smoke and puff it out to your face every 30 mins.Our only consolation at this stage was the fact that a vendor told us that the train would quite empty down at Mangalore (3 hours away).So we tolerated all this thinking it would last just for 3 hours.But we were not to be let out that easy.Mangalore came and to all ours surprise another 30 odd people boarded into the train.Our hopes were dead at this stage.We consoled ourselves thinking that this agony should last only till 6 in the morning as we should have reached Goa by the time.-TROUBLE

DAY 3- 8/6/08:

TROUBLE-This day began unusually for me.I was not sleeping when the day began,but was standing tall with weak legs,drowsy eyes and desperate heart.Every one of us had lost our patience.At this stage only Kaushik was our only entertainment.The only pass time we had was to make fun of our co-Passengers in Tamil.The train stopped at a station called Bhatkal at around 2.30.The train guard told us that the train would reach Madagaon by 6.Our hopes once again raised.But this time again,it turned out to be in vein.The train stopped there forever.It was already 2 hours since the trained moved an inch from that station,and we were told that there was some engine problem and an new engine was on its way and the travel would take 2 more hours.We were lost once again.After a few enquiry we found out that the train was the only proper mode of transport at that stage.So we decided to continue,but this time we got into another Unreserved compartment.And finally after four hour delay and 14 hour painful hell of an travel we reached Madagoan by 10.-TROUBLE

TROUBLE-From there we took an prepaid Taxi (80 bucks for a 3 km travel)to the bus stand where we found that Guru had left his mobile in the taxi.So ,guru went in an Pilot Bike(This is like an taxi service offered in a bike,These bikes run all over Goa and are distinctively Marked yellow ) and retrieved his mobile.After all this,we boarded a bus to Panaji.There is a unique procedure here to board the buses.One has to book his tick previously in a counter and has to get into the next immediate bus ,else the ticket goes invalid.After an 45 mins travel we reached Panaji(A.K.A Panjim,Panji).Got an taxi,asked the driver for accommodation and got into an decent enough hotel called Panaji Tourist Hotel,got a single room (Made to accommodate 5 members) for 800 bucks a day.-TROUBLE

Then we found an hotel called KAMAT( a very good hotel,look out for this one),ate something,got back to the room and hit the beds.The 14 hour long reckless travel demanded some sleep and we got up only around 7.The day was wasted.After our nites dinner at Kamat,we went for a walk along the shores of???(I guess thats some backwaters).We got to see a lot of cruisers,a casino on board,small ferry etc..Then it was sleep time again.The day went totally wastefully.

DAY 4- 9/6/08:

FULLY FUN:

This was technically the last day for us in Goa.So ,it began briskly.After brushing,bathing tiffin.We rented Three bikes- A Classic Pulsar(Decent condition),A Dtsi-pulsar(Worthless piece) and an Karizma(Adjustable).Each bike cost 300 per day and were allowed to travel on Highways.We gave a deposit of 1000,and got three stupid fucking helmets for free from those bastards(U'l know why) as helmets were must on highways.After initial fueling of 200 per bike and a free purchase of Goa road map form the tourist department,we were OFF to CALANGUTE (16 Kms from Panaji-a highly Beach populated place).The roads were damn awesome.Both the Highways and the connectors were sexy.These are every bikers dream roads.We topped each bike and were having awesome fun.We saw the following places-

1) Calangute Beach(Normal Beach)

2) Baga Beach(Mountain Backgrounds,and there is a place where the sea merges to form an lake-Its awesome)

3)Aguda Fort(You will be on top of the fort with the ocean at your bottom ,kissing your feet-damn sexy)

4)Coco Beach(Has no sand but rocks upon which you can walk nearly upto 200 metres into the sea-Thats if you can site the rocks)

All these places were awesome.The roads were damn sexy.Every single thing in Goa to be seen is either a beach or a Church.But the only difference in each of these beaches is their location and the scenic surroundings they have.Every single beach is a must watch.We did not have time to go for the churches .So we restricted ourselves only to the beaches.Each place offers its own variety of photographic view points.I am not good at describing things as i saw them,but i can tell you this,these places were really really beautiful- Truly Natures gift.

The last beach we saw was the Coco beach.From there we took a short cut to reach Panaji(6Kms of Coastal road).We ripped the bikes apart.We ate at Kamat again,and left for the rooms.It was around ten,that we did not have hearts to pay 300 bucks for the 40 kms ride we had done,so we planned for a night ride.Just then we came out of our hotel,it started to rain we parked he bikes Off road and took shelters.Unfortunately ,The classic Pulse fell on to a Santro(Think so),and then we got into a fight with a guy for some 20 mins.At last that stupid guy left us for a SORRY in exchange for few bike marks in his car.Phew!!!

We fueled up for 100 bucks(Our Big Mistake) and hit the south western roads of Panaji.Once again,the roads were hmmmmm hmmmm.We traveled as far as we could and stopped at a dead end(ended at a sea shore) called Dona Paula.The Street Dogs there chased us away.So we returned to our rooms around 1.30.and hit the beds.
This day was awesome.

DAY 5- 10/6/08:

TROUBLESOME DAY

This is the day we wont ever forget .We got into so much trouble this day that we would not forget this day for years to come.We had to return the bikes by 9 in the morning and vacate the room by 10.So we initially got up at 5.30 packed off everything and started for a ride in the same direction that we went yesterday.We got to see the Beauty of Dona Paula (A view point Facing the beach),Miramar Beach.After this ,we took a small Detour to got to the Bambolin Beach.The roads were like track roads. We couldn't control our Love for roads.We started taking every Corners The GP style.

At one of the corners ,The classic that kitcha and me were riding fell off at 40 Kmph.(Kitcha was riding),due to slippery roads.This was the last thing we wanted.Kitcha jus had scratches in his legs and miraculously i was off without a single scratch.The bikes crash guard had Bent a little and there was a small scratch at the bikes mirror.We were happy that the bike was safe more than the fact that we were safe.Since Bambolin was only some 2 Kms away from our crash point,we continued forward.The Bambolin Beach was really good.A typical Beach with proper sand like in Marina.After some 15 mins of stay and relaxation ,we were OFF again to starting point-our rooms.

We noticed on our way back that we had lost one of the HELMETS we were given with.At that stage we were so very keen in getting away from Goa that we didn't mind paying for the Helms alone.Also we noticed that we had too much Petrol in each Bikes.So we drained off the petrol and filled up every single bottle we had with us.VENKY was totally against this as he was stubborn that We could not take Petrol in trains and he asked us to leave it there.But with the Recent HIKE in fuel prices we found it extremely Precious and wanted to take that liquid Gold back home.

Within minutes after this,the dealer for the bikes came for the bikes.And i still don't know how on earth he found out that we had crashed the bikes.He spotted every single damage that we though had happened and in extra made us responsible for few more of the damage which was previously there.All we could do at that stage was to request him to take less money for the damage.So,after about half hour of heated argument,he wouldn't settle for anything less than 1000 bucks for the bike and 200 for the lost helmet.Helplessly we gave that Bastard the money he asked for and vacated the rooms,and OFF we left to Panaji.We were keen in saving more cash at this stage that we took a 4 kms walk to the bus stand.

From Panaji,we took a bus to Vasco Da Gama Railway station 40 mins away.Our train - was at 3.10.We had reached the railway station 12.30.So we took the extra time to Eat our lunch and also to rest in the railway station.At this stage we were really Heart Broken to have spent so much Wastefully for minor mistakes that we did.

Our agony was not to stop there.When the Train arrived ,To our surprise we,found that only 3 Compartments,were addressed to the destination we had to go.ie Bangalore via Hubli.The rest were Tagged Nizzamudin Express.After a few Hul Chul We found that the 3 bogies would be separated at a station called LONDA from where another train would take these 3 bogies to Bangalore.This explained explained the whole story behind a waiting list 6 ticket not getting confirmed (There were only 3 bogies for our destination).So with the waiting list ticket we were again Off to a unreserved compartment.

But this time thankfully we all got a seat and also a good company of a Muslim family getting off at Hubli.As we were thinking we left the omen behind,an RPF caught us for carrying Petrol.He was accidentally checking Kaushiks Bag and found one of the petrol bottles.He asked us to get down in the next station but later as any other Indian police Officer Let us go For 500 Bucks.Yes,We bribed.Thats the best we could do at that stage.We were fortunate to be let off like that,but,Our country is so Unfortunate to be having Officials like this.This should have been the same condition,when the Godhra incident happened.

We were also fortunate that the RPF didn't catch us for carrying Wine which was also in Kaushik's bag(He was getting it for his friends).
But we were happy for one good reason.The passengers were very alert.They scolded us for bringing petrol in trains.At least we got an alert set of civilians.The good Muslim Family that we told,helped us dispose the remaining 4 Bottles of petrol.By doing so they left us in a complicated situation of not asking them to throw off our wine bottles(which would be awkward in India).But we had to dispose that OFF somehow.So when LONDA came,me and guru got down with kaushik's bags and threw away the 150 rupees wine bottle just like that in a dust bin.We felt relieved only after this.

Now we were OFF to Bangalore.

DAY 6- 11/6/08:

HOME ATLAST

We reached Bangalore around 8.Got a taxi to Venki's relatives Place in Rajaji Nagar.The hospitality here was again awesome.We had delicious Pooris and idlis for tiffin and we had 3 hours to kill,which we managed to do so by playing cricket in a ground near by.We returned home again around 1.Awesome Lunch was waiting for us-Thanks to Venki's patti,mami,mama and thatha for a warm hospitality.Venka decided to stay in Bangalore as he had to again return anyways after 2 days.So around 1.40 ,Me,guru,Kaushik and Kitcha came to railways station ,we had Brindavan tickets booked this time.
After 5DAYS AND 4 HOURS of Mixed emotions we finally reached our Home Sweet Homes.

This post went THIS long and DESCRIPTIVE as i wanted every single thing to be recorded.This trip was unforgettable experience for all of us. and i wanted every single thing in records for my future nostalgia.

2008-05-20T05:58:00.000-07:00

Finally ,around 4.30 pm today there was this sudden Gush of really cool wind in ma city.It must have been something of a smaller version of a sand storm,cause there was dust ,plastic bags ,sand everywhere around ,whirling about in circles.And the wind was really chilly.I was in ma terrace,and the winds were so strong that , once ,it started to push me ,and i had to get down from ma terrace to avoid a fall.

The temp now is pretty down and it is really a pleasant surprise(At least to me).

Another cool thing ,thats happened today is that i got to hear A.R 's new tracks from "ADA".I heard one of them,composed and sung by A.R.
It was really Awesome.

HEATED up

12 Days without blogging!!!!
If my exams were a reason for this till may 12th ,the remaining days ,"Namma Chennai's" scorching heat was successful in keeping me away from my comp.
You wouldn't believe,my house is burning.I live in the third floor(which happens to be the last one),with an open terrace above me.And the sun god is outstretching his damn hot rays directly on to ma terrace.Every single place in ma house is burning like hell.Walls ,Floor,the air from fan,the air from ma windows,my tap water,table,chair and every other single thing in ma house is literally boiling.
We ,in our house are estivating from morning 9 - evening 6.I can't even think of getting near ma comp,the place is like the interior of a furnace .

So ,dormancy is to prevail for some time and activities would resume to normalcy after "Agni Natchathiram"

UPDATE:: @Yayathy Raj -- You must really be out of your mind to have written This.

A SIX PAKO

I am an ardent Surya fan.And to be seeing him after almost 1 and half years back on screens(not vel,that was a flop accord to me)??i am thrilled...And these pictures pumped few more gallons of adrenaline into me..

It took 4 months for him to build his 6 packs it seems,and it has come out fantastic.Surya has not used any steroids for this and also has relied only upon vegetarian diet.This shows this guys commitment and love, for delivering quality and realistic content on screen.He simply rocks.

INACTIVITY IN BLOG:: Due to exams

ACTIVITY::Will resume after 12th.

Transferring My Emotions

2008-04-13T20:25:00.000-07:00

I don't know if it is sheer reluctance or ignorance ,but,whenever i utter these words("Sachin is uncomparable to others"),i always face strong resistance from my counter arguers.They seem to show me stiff resistance,and i always end up, being unreasonable and resolve to totally rude tactics ,thrashing my opponents POV.I don't know if i seem to be a sachin chauvinist to others,but even then i don't find it wrong being one..

In this post i am going to give you all some links that i found in youtube,kindly,take time to see all of them.Hope my emotions get transferred to you as well.

It is really HARD to be SACHIN ,rite??Not being able to go for a stroll in the morning,not being able to shop at his will,not able to go with his family to a park and play with his kids...With 100 thousand pair of eyes watching your every move on the ground,cheering up each and every single move you make,with each and every one wanting you to make century each and every time you are out there....ITS A MAMOOTH PRESSURE...

But sachin has survived everything ,he has adopted to every single change around him..Mr.Charles Darvin was right when he said "ONLY THE FITTEST AND THE BEST SURVIVE"..Sachin has survived 18 years of cricketing life till now and is still going on strong...So its obviously true when everyone says "He Is The Best".Rite??

Lastly to know what is SACHIN'S CONFIDENCE LEVEL,here is a video which was taken when he was just 16:

Is God , Human e??

2008-04-06T20:12:00.000-07:00

Often we hear people saying,"Request to GOD,he will give you what you want","Fall at his feet",
"Surrender to him","Accept his greatness" etc...
Let me ask you something!!
Is God that human ,that he(I am assuming here,that God is masculine,just for my convenience ) responds only to people who surrender to him accepting his greatness??Will he just turn his back and go off at people ,who say he doesn't exist??Is he that mean ,with normal human characteristics that he wants people to boast of his greatness,only then will he come for your help??

GOD=human e????

Waiting eagerly for ANSWERS ....

My First Live Cricket Experience

2008-03-26T06:00:00.000-07:00

Was awesome.:) :) :) :)
I was there today at the M.A.C ,watching Ind-SouthAfrica test match.This was the debut for the four of us(me,Guru,Venky and Vamsi),for a cricket match,and the experience was truly awesome.We had tickets for the D-stand(500 bucks for 5 days,but we got it for one day.Thanks to SUNIL),just behind the side screen thats opp to the pavilion.
S.A batted first and were 304-4 at stumps.Today both Kumble and Bajji took 2 wickets each.Apart from this ,not much of cricketing action today,but we had great fun.
We saw all our players in skin and flesh,and most importantly we saw them in action :):) (JOY).
We just managed to get commentator L.Sivaramakrishnan's Autograph,no one else was approachable.

TIDBITS::

1)M.A.C toilets suck

2)Stadium is awesome

3)Kallis and G.Smith are really HUGE.

4)Kumble is awesome.

5)Food is costly.

6)Chennai crowd is very sportive and the most decent one till date.

7)Sachin is God(Didn't manage to have a closer look at him today,but I surely will).

8)Indian Cricket Team rockz.

Vellore Night Ride

2008-03-21T22:26:00.000-07:00

DESTINATION:: Vellore
DISTANCE:: 270 Kms approx
BIKES:: Caliber(mine) and Dio(Guru's)
BIKERS:: Myself,Guru and Venky
DATE:: 21st ,Friday

My parents were out of town for the weekend ,this was an nice opportunity for a ride.Me,Guru and Venky planned for a short ride to Vellore,but this time,we wanted to have a new experience.So we planned for a night ride. We all assembled near guru's house at 3 in the morning,filled fuel to our bikes in a nearby petrol bunk and immediately hit the NH 4 (Chennai-Bangalore highway).The road was full of lorry traffic till Maduravoyil ,but after that,the four lane highway outstretched its arms ,asking us to explore it.Unlike our first amateur ride,we weren't ripping the bikes this time,but we drove them at around 6K RPM ,enjoying the beautiful Moon fed night ,all alone on the roads with our bikes.

We stopped at a tea shop around 4.30 for refreshment,after which our next stop was only at the Toll plaza ,20 Kms from Vellore.We had to stop there for about 45 mins because it was raining heavily and we were already wet and shivering in the nites cold.We stood right beside the toll booth and whenever a lorry came we used the exhaust of the lorry for warming ourselves.It was awesome.Around 6.30 ,we started again and reached vellore by 7.

We then ate at a local hotel.We wanted to got to Elagiri,but,after coming to know that it was around 90Kms from Vellore,we had to Quit that idea,as we did not have enough cash or time for it.We then went to the Vellore Fort,which was near Vellore Old bus stand(I knew this place from my previous trip to the Sripuram Golden Temple).Just spent some 30 mins there ,loitering around.The fort has the Jalagandeshwar Shiva temple,a Mosque and also a Church embedded within its premises.(Communal Harmony:)The fort also has a moat where you can go boating,nice way to kill time.Next time you go to Vellore ,just make sure you visit this Fort.

It was time for us to leave and after fuelling our bikes again,we left Vellore around 8.40AM.On our way back,we say a superbike zooming past us,none of us saw what it was,but,later in a bunk near Kancheepuram we saw the same bike and it was a HORNET 900.The bike was sexy.

All our way back,it rained heavily and the climate was just awesome.This time we chose to drive in the rain.The rain drops would poke you like a needle every time,but the overall experience of riding in a 4 lane highway,in rain,was just AWESOME.
After 9 hours of fun ,we reached home around 12 in the Noon.The entire ride was SUPERB,and the best one till date.The night riding experience was particularly awesome.The prob we had this time was,we borrowed Vivek's 6MP cam,which was out of battery,so,as our previous THIRUTHANI RIDE ,this time again,we were out of pics.BTW,we took a few of them and would be posting it in a while.Thanks to Guru and Venky for the ride.

-----THE RIDE WAS AWESOME----------

Awesome Ad

2008-03-17T07:28:00.000-07:00

If you haven't seen this Bajaj Mania Ad still,then take a look at it at once .

Now that you have,you will probably understand my praise for this one ,thats going to follow.
Firstly,AWESOME stunts by all those bikers,truly awesome.What a gift these guys have,a complete control over the bike.That guy in this ad is standing on the bike which already is on one wheel,and he takes off both his hands from the bike,and drives it!!!!!!!exclamation exclamation exclamation follows

Secondly,the camera works,if doing those stunts was tuff,getting them recorded on a camera should have been equally an Mt.everest task.The camera works are super good.

Thirdly,the music.It rocks big time.It keeps your ears stunned as well.

And last but not the least,the bikes.Bajaj Pulsar rocks.Be it 150,180,200 or 220,pulsar just rocks.

Kudos to the entire team.

Time Pass Cricketing Videos

2008-03-15T22:45:00.000-07:00

I was Youtubing today,and was searching on some interesting cricket videos.I got many of them,i am just giving links to a few of them,that i found were interesting.Here they are :

1) Don't know what match this is,Don't know who the players and umpires are,But just look at the umpiring,WOW,all i could say is,Steve Bucknor and Darrell Hair are any day better umpires than this guy:
Don't Miss This Video

2)This is a run out video,where a throw from the boundary ,luckily hit the stumps,and sachin was given out.But what followed was even worse,the crowd erupted at the decision and i remember ,the play was stopped,and sachin himself came around the field in a car asking the crowd to settle down.The following video does not have the latter half of the action.If you find it somewhere,just post the link in here:
Sachin's Controversial run out video

3)This is a very funny video.The ball just slips off the bowlers hands,but take a look of what happens next:
Dead and Buried Ball

4)No one would have seen something like this,a match played without a leg umpire.Really funny.Just take a look.
Leg Umpire Is Out

5)The under-arm incident.Last ball,6 runs required and the bowling Australian team bowls an under arm delivery.
The Under Arm Incident

6) Funny Commentary :

7)Sachin Called back to play after given out

8)Sunil Gavaskar calls back his team after being given a wrong decision.
Sunil Gavaskar Incident

9) Dennis Lilly uses a Aluminium Bat and is asked to change his bat by the umpire.
Aluminium Bat incident

10) Waquar Younis breaks the middle stump with his beautiful delivery.

KNOCKED me UP

2008-03-14T06:59:00.000-07:00

I watched this movie- "Knocked Up",today.This movie is about how a totally fun loving,practically worthless,irresponsible guy and
a beautiful,career focussed girl end up being Life Partners despite being two totally unmatched individuals.They both get drunk in a party,they get to have condomless sex,and the girl(Who just got promoted to anchor a show o her TV channel),later finds out that she is pregnant.The guy and this girl take up a decision as to have this baby,and they start to get along.Both of them are totally different in their approaches to life,but still,for the baby,they stay together till the end,resolve their misunderstandings and evolve as Life Partners.

This film was not like a classic movie n all,its just a pass time movie,but still it managed to clear up my doubts and show me what life actually is.To be honest,i am pretty much a bit similar to the guy in the movie,regarding his view of a relationship.I have always believed that relationships can't be worked out,but,have to be pre existing,not demanding,and should not ask you to change (Which according to me was hippocratic).But i am starting to realize that its not all about being yourself,its about how you mould yourselves to get a relationship going.Its about how you fit in to the game of life.

LESSON: NOTHING WRONG IN SACRIFICING YOUR NEEDS AND WISHES FOR FUELLING A RELATIONSHIP

Its Over

2008-03-12T05:58:00.000-07:00

My Department Symposium was finally over today.I heard that, around 165 entries from at least 25 different colleges ,was registered today ,which is a good turn over rate.Guru did the quizzing event along with my friend vijay krishnan and they did it really well. Ramanan,along with my other classmates took up DumbC, and again ,they did a good job.Venkat was into compering along with Suvitha.And i guess compering is venka's area of specialization ,because he was so fluent and good at doing this.

As i had already mentioned,all these events were organized entirely by us,so it was a great pleasure and satisfaction to see it ending up really well...the only thing to worry about is,its all over,so , we are back to our classes again,no more op's for event preperations,no more OD'S(On Duty) for sponserships.Its going to be 8 hours of bullshit again.

Waiting for more Op s.

:)

Happy At Last

2008-03-10T07:10:00.000-07:00

After Kakka Kakka there was this shortage for good quality Tamil Films and at one stage I almost stopped watching any Tamil movies at all.I used to skip past every song sequence,every fight scene,every emotional scene and end up finishing an entire movie in just under half hour.Every single film seemed to be identical to the others with the only difference being in its acting crew.

But yesterday,I watched Director Mysskin's "Anjathe".The film was awesome.The highlight of the film is its camera works,beautifully done by Mahesh Muthusamy.He has done something unseen uptill now ,with his camera and he has done it really very well.Be the low angle shots or the Long ,single frame shots,he scores cent percent with his camera.The other marks to this film comes from its acting department with actors Naren,Ajmal(debut),Prasanna,Pandyarajan,and all other supporting actors,doing a splendid and neat job.The music is not that unique but does keep your ears pleasing and in sync with the emotions that the actors emote onscreen.The movie did have its own Tamil Masala Factors like a "KUTHU" song at an totally unnecessary circumstance,but the movie was not as "kiddish" as the other ones.
On the whole the film was very good and i was really content and happy to be seeing a good quality Tamil film after a long time.

Kudos to cinematographer Muthusamy-You have done a splendid job.

I have tried to cut the starting scene of the movie and paste it here.Please forgive me for the poor cutting,i didn't get a professional cutter.Kindly adjust.Just see the opening camera angle(The Low Angle shot),Just awesome.

ANJATHE OPENING SCENE,CAMERA ANGLE:

DEXTER IS AWESOME..

2008-03-06T09:06:00.001-08:00

As I already said you,I am now really into this crime serial called "DEXTER" and it rocks,big time.I have finished watching the first season,of 12 episodes that guru gave me(Thanks to you again:),it was much like a journey into the life of a serial killer.Each episode is roughly 50 mins long,and each episode stands out individually as an crime movie with its own twists,links,suspense etc...
The serial just rocks.And I am starting to be a fan of "MICHAEL C.HALL",who plays the lead role of "DEXTER" [The blood pattern analyst for the Miami police force at day,and a serial killer at nights].
If you are really looking forward for KILLING some time,then ,"DEXTER" should be your next stop.

It Cant Get Any Better Than This!!!!

2008-03-04T06:22:00.000-08:00

Can it??

If you are still wondering what it is about,well wake up...

India has sealed the series against australia beating them 2-nil in the CB series.To
be honest, at this very moment,when i was writing this post ,i felt elated,a kind of joy that happens rarely but charges up everything in you,right from your soul...Please Don't think iam being over expressive,the series hasn't been a good one considering the
un-crickety affairs and happenings which all went against India,but still India has managed to answer everything through their Game,nothing but their beautiful Game alone..
Todays 2nd finals at Brisbane was just perfect.It was a nail bitter,at,one stage it seemed as though Australia would just manage to win,but Pathan came back with a good over and bowled beautifully in the last over of the game and sealed victory for India..

This win is the first Series Clinch that India is taking against Australia after 23 Years,a special one indeed.The only Disappointment today was that THE MASTER failed to score yet another century here,getting out on 91.It was an beautiful knock from him today,a century here would have brought 2 consecutive centuries against AUSTRALIA IN AUSTRALIA IN A FINALS...That would have sounded incredible,but, never mind,India has won,and won it really well...

Lets not forget,its not a win here alone,INDIA has also WON THE UNDER 19 WORLD CUP,and in HOCKEY ,INDIA HAS QUALIFIED FOR THE OLYMPICS,so,alogether it is proving to be a boom in sports for India..

DON'T MISS THIS video(the video has the last over and the celebrations part of the Indian team)::

It Has Been A While..

2008-03-03T05:45:00.000-08:00

It has been quite a long time since i last logged in.I was quite busy with few other things, that i almost forgot i have a blog and that i have to write in here at least once a week ((not that i have a huge readership ...just to keep my post count going :) ).Before I go on to tell you all what was keeping me busy,i cant restrain myself from expressing my uncontrollable joy over sachin's splendid 117* against the aussies in the first finals of the Cb series at Sydney yesterday.The sydney cricket ground is indeed proving to be Sachin Cricket Ground.What an innings it was,beautiful inside out cover strokes ,late upper cut-a masterclass alone can play such strokes,leg glances,altogether it was a sexy 100 from sachin,and it came in the right time,taking india one step ahead in the finals.This is sachin's 42 century in the ODI's and after 7 odd century misses in the last year this one comes as a starter for few more to follow.

Now to tell you all what was keeping me busy,

1)CRICKET 2007:: I installed this game a month ago ,but iam trying it out full time now only.Iam a great cricket fan,but a very poor cricketer,so,this cricket 2007 is giving me a chance to learn and play beautiful strokes.It is proving to be a great source of fun to me.Iam full time into playing this game ,that i hardly relax from my comp.

2)DEXTER:: This is a crime serial about a man named dexter,who besides being a blood pattern analyist in the miami forensic department,also has the other dark side of being a serial killer,killing wrong guys in miami and dumping them into the seas.
The serial is really awesome ,and each one of its episodes goes on for about 50 mins.So ,two episodes daily,and a few hours of cricket 2007,takes all the time that i have got to spend before my comp...

soon I am going to complete a personnel milestone of 50 posts in here,so,me thinking of taking a next step into blogging ,converting this blog into something useful for others ....Still thinking of some useful ways of getting to do that...
thinking!!!!

A BEAUTY AGAIN..

2008-02-26T05:40:00.000-08:00

It was yet another beautiful masterclass innings by the master today at the hobart's .This is his innings card :

Score balls 4's 6's S.R
63 54 10 0 116.66

The innings was a beautiful one,with splendid square drives,comely cover drives,awesome sweep...Sachin is back to his form in the series,and lets hope to see a blast from him, here on.

Please take time to see this post match video of sachin:

Gambhir on the other hand is having a wonderful series,with two hundreds in his pocket,today here again he showed his class batting and went on to take a superb 63.

FEELING CONFUSED

2008-02-21T05:39:00.000-08:00

As i said in my last post,Me,Guru and now Venkat and Ramanan have started to build our Symposium website www.infractionz.com.And as i said earlier we are using blogger to host our site.Initially we found the site pretty decent and worthy,but off late we have been visiting hundreds of websites(different college's symposium websites) and we find that all of them are flash sites designed with the help of professionals,as a result of which these sites look awesome.
So after this we were quite down ,now we knew where we stood.So,now we thought we could use some professional help,we then found that one of our other department guy was a pro web designer,we asked him for help,and he said he could get us a very good flash site for 500 bucks,but the problem we have is that our coll wont get us more finance for this any more,so we got to put in our cashes.We of course will be goin in for flash templates putting in our cash ar atleast try developing a html site with pre designed available html templates,but at present we need a net database for our symp,so we are at present into developing our blogger site.But once we are completely done with this,we will go in for the flash site or the html temp site and host it later..

I just need in your feedbacks about how our site looks at present.Just send in your feedbacks as comments,it would be really helpful to know the views from a third eye...

INFRACTIONZ'08

2008-02-18T04:48:00.000-08:00

If you remember,a few posts before ,i was telling you all about my coll department symposium?Well,it is scheduled to be held on March 12th,and it has been named INFRACTIONZ'08.So,with the symposium speeding up its way ,we the third years have the responsibility of organising the entire symposium,and make it look decent enough.As a part of this,Guru took up the responsibility of creating a website for our symp this time(I guess this is the first time we are having a site dedicated to our symp).Guru got a domain from Square Brothers for Rs.350(Plus 100 ),and we have redirected it to a blog page now,this is because ,the blogger has all prerequisite essentials for bringing up a decent enough webpage,and we need not go in search of help for creating a own webpage.
So ,we have now started to work for the webpage,to make it look presentable enough.Just take a peep in to the site from time to time and also do send in your comments,suggestions,feedbacks in this comment page ,this could be of great help..

JODHA AKBAR

2008-02-17T03:26:00.000-08:00

The whole movie is a romantic,period movie depicting the love between The Mughal samrat Akbar and a Rajput Princess Jodha.Due to this very same reason of depicting a Hindu-muslim love(which is considered fictional),the movie was banned in Rajasthan and also the movie has created waves all around India...Yesterday when Vijay Krishnan had called me for the movie ,me, and guru hopped in and were exited not for the movie but to see the Picturisation for the songs which we were already mad at..
When I came out of the theatres I was pretty satisfied on the whole.I was very much impresed about four things in the movie:

1)The Music: By A.R is just awesome.The tracks Jashn-e-bahara ,Khwaja(Sung by the legend himself),and Azeem o shaan,just capture your heart and mind.The other two tracks are also awesome ...The background score was just perfect.The master rules.

2)The sets and art direction: They are too good.Not once in the whole film do you find as if you are in this century.The whole of the art direction,sets,colour schemes,camera work,locations just take you to a tour on The Mughal period.The war scenes were nearly 200 people are dressed up like soldiers,with many horses,elephants,decorated and all people given weapons which were prevelant in that times,are all just too good.There is one scene where the camera is put on the ground facing the sky and the Cannon balls fly in the sky like birds ,,the scene is really superb..

3)Hrithik: When i first saw the trailors i felt Hrithik was too lanky on screen to be loking like a Mighty Emperor.I was wrong.Hrithik has done a neat job,and the next time someone says Akbar, iam sure he is just going to flash b4 your eyes.Be it an emotional scene,a romantic scene or a scene where he has to fight an elephant single hand,he has done is job fair and square.

4)Aishwarya Rai: She looks Gorgeous on screen.She doesn't stop there,but ,she goes on to give a beautiful performance from her side.A right find for the role of Jodha.The onscreen chemistry between Aish and Hrithik is just heart warming..

With so many Plus points ,yet the film is worth watching only once.This is because of some loose story ,totally predictable plots,some careless acting by others, very simple fight sequences,and a lengthy screenplay...

But on the whole You will love the movie and it is really worth watching..

The V-Day...Shop Owners Enjoy...

2008-02-13T06:43:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow is the most looked after day in the calender.I guess plans should have been made by now,gifts bought ,poems mugged up, dress chosen,appointments fixed. All for what???
celebrating the Valentines day.
What is this valentines day???
Ans: It is just like the other stupid calenderial days like Mother's day(remember your mother on this day???And fucking don't care about her the next 364 days??),Father's day(Men's equality...you got mother's day???ha ha ha,we got Father's day),World water day(Create awareness about water on this day...And don't close your water taps the next day..),Children's day(give birth to children??) etc.......

Who decides which day falls when???
Ans: Thats a very impressive question and i bet no one on earth knows it.According to me some stupid jerk started it,and other stupid jerks followed ,making it a tradition. who cares ,its another day which you can call it with a fancy name..kul...

I guess within the next decade,the names like Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday etc....are going to vanish and we will have to call each day on the calender with some fancy names like World Kiss day,World arse day,World sex day(What you do on this day??Have sex only on this day??)..

And tom is the King pin day-The V-day...What is going to happen tom??
All gift shops,Greeting cards shops,Cinema theatres,Beach sundal payyan,Hotels,Bars,Pubs,Disco clubs are going to be having the best income they could ever get on a single day .What else??
Oh ya....I almost forgot...
Most people are going to lose their money ,paying the above said list,in the name of celebrating love...

My POV is that wtf we got to celebrate these days??So if you don't say "ILU" to ur mate,then does that mean you really don"t love her???Why you have to create pressure on yourself by following these stupid traditions??

THESE TRADITIONS ACCORDING TO ME ARE JUST "the most most most stupidest thing on earth"

CHENNAI MARATHON 2008

2008-02-06T05:33:00.000-08:00

The Chennai Marathon 2008 is all about to kick start on Feb 10th 2008(this sunday) from the Labour Statue(Ullaipallar sillai).Announcing this in a press conference ,Mary Rajathy,the GM of the Sports Development Authority Of TamilNadu (SDATN),said that the main aim of this event is" to bring people from all walks of life to run together for a greener future".
Elobrating about the details of the event ,the Sports Minister of Tamil Nadu, Mr.Mohiden khan,said that the event was going to be conducted in a category of 5 .Which are:

1)FULL MARATHON FOR MEN:

DISTANCE ::: 42 KMS approx,starting from the labour statue(ullaipallar sillai),with two laps.

PRIZE MONEY::: Rs.75,000

2)HALF MARATHON FOR MEN AND WOMEN:

DISTANCE::: 21 kms approx,starting again from the labour statue

PRIZE MONEY:::Rs.50,000 for women,Rs.30,000 for men.

3)MARATHON FOR PEOPLE BELOW 19 YEARS OF AGE:

DISTANCE::: 6 kms approx,starting place is again the labour statue.

PRIZE::: Rs.10,000 along with a shield.

4)MARATHON FOR SENIOR CITIZENS AND CORPORATES:

DISTANCE::: 3 Kms approx.

PRIZE::: Rs.5,000

Apart from this there is one more category: 5)MARATHON FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN,the details of which i don't know.

MAIN SPONSERS:: Hero Ultra.

These are the information that i collected from these sites::

SOURCE OF INFO::

1)CHENNAI ONLINE

2)NEWINDPRESS

The last chennai marathon happened in 2006 ,and i have read that, it was really poorly organised,with participants being not informed beforehand about the target time of 4 hrs,as a result,after four hours ,participants were literally chased up by the police .Many of them were 100 metres of the finishing line but yet they were asked to leave ,as the TIME WAS OVER.(Just imagine their frustration,after running for 4 hours with an aim of finishing it,you are being told this)
So collect all details beforehand and then leave.Lets hope we have a good organising this time.

Now for the informal section of my writing:
This event is being organised to encourage promoting a GREENER and a POLLUTION FREE chennai.Now let me ask you this,you are running in this marathon with a t-shirt asking to "PROMOTE GREENER AND POLLUTION FREE CHENNAI",and now its two years from that date,Has chennai become greener and pollution free???Probably you must now be in some oxygen parlour paying 100 bucks for your pure oxygen.These things got no sense as such.HTF just a promotional event like this ,is really going to bring any change ??And if you know a person who has changed from attending any of these promotional events,i kindly request you to show me that guy/gal,iam pretty sure that i can convince that guy /gal to giving his property to me for a "GREENER CAUSE".

These events are primarily aimed at making money by giving away a small part of the made money as a eye catchy prize.

If your arguement is that,the money collected from the sponsership of this event is going to be used for the cause,just hold on...The very cause that we are talking here came into light because you and me have failed to realise the fact that it is you and me who are fucking up with nature.So Don't be lame,to be going to this marathon for promoting the cause for which you and I were responsible, rather,just be a responsible individual in your daily life.(A small example of how you chennaities can do this is out here) .But whatsoever,Iam sure that running a marathon is going to be a real fun ,that too,getting to run it alonside a beach,is even more awesome,so gear up and don't miss to participate in the event .And participate with the motto of just running and not with an idea of promoting the cause.

Entry forms are available at the Anna swimming pool, Marina, the Shenoynagar Swimming pool and SDAT Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

Effectiveness

2008-02-05T05:14:00.000-08:00

Effectiveness is being able to create an impact or produce an result for any action.Recently I came across a picture which according to me defines effectiveness.This picture was in one of the slides of the CTS[Cognizant Technology Solutions] programme "EVOLVE"(This is a an idea that the CTS has come up with,where they go to different engineering colleges ,giving an exposure to students as to "how they can get into the corporate world","what should they prepared in" and things like that.The program was really good,read GURU'S BLOG for a review on the program).

Now,let me show you the picture:

Look at how effectively the picture conveys the idea - "Never Ever Give Up"

What You Can Do???

2008-02-04T08:14:00.000-08:00

What you can do??
Your next question,
What are you talking about?
Ya ,i'll tell you that,its about what you can do to make our city litter free.Let me as you this:

Why do you have to throw the used plastic water packets just like that any where??

You ask:
What difference does my single water packet got to do with the city being green,the environment being pollution free??

Me:
Well let me just give you a simple statistics,my coll has nearly 3500 students,out of it my guess is that around 500 people(This is a very low number) definitely don't use our college bus services.So they have to walk all the way from our college to the main road(which is approx 2kms from coll).In the due process let me assume that 100 people get really thirsty,they go to the nearby potty kadai and buy the 1 rupee water packets which come in plastic covers.Out of the 100 buyers iam damn sure,that only 5 would use the litter box,the rest walk along,drinking their water,and throw the used plastic on to the roads.
So ,from my proofless statistics i get a figure of 95 water packets daily littered on to the roads,this is just considering my college alone.Imagine the amount of water packet thrash that gets into our roads daily all around chennai??

You:
So what do you want me to do,keep the used water packet in my pocket till i find my litter box and then dispose it huh??

Me:
Ya ,exactly.Else you could stay at the place where you bought your packet,drink it ,and then dispose it there immediately(i guess every store owner has his own litter box).
Else you drain all water from the packet,keep it in your pocket and then discard it in some dustbin.

You:
So you want me to carry my water packet in my pocket just to enable it reach the dust bin.What makes you think anyone would even thinking of doing it?So,by doing this you think green house effect will be stopped,earth made much more greener and pollution free is it??

Me:
Let me ask you this.The litter should reach the litter box ,so ,why do you have to go the extent of thinking on changing the earth and stopping the green house effect(GHE) n all.Just enable the litter to reach its home.That's it.I don't know whether this could stop the pollution,or stop the GHE,but iam sure it could enable us have a better ,clean and a litter free surrounding.So kindly consider doing this.Not only for the water packets,but for all litters,please show them their homes. :)

Let me show you a person who follows this very simple ,basic,rule-------->ME
Let me tell you,the very basic feeling that you are in a way contributing to your society would make you feel good from inside.So please consider this,and try not to litter around.

My College Symposium Is On Its Way

2008-02-02T23:08:00.000-08:00

Have you guys ever heard of a college named JAYA ENGINEERING COLLEGE???Probably this is the first time you are hearing it.This is the college where iam doing my ECE.Now,i say iam doing my ECE rather than studying my ECE because there is literally 0 learning process happening there.The coll is not be blamed,this entire country is like this.HAH!!Iam straying away from the main intention of this post,i just wanted to share with you all that my department(ECE) SYMPOSIUM named "INFRACTIONZ-08" is scheduled to be happening some time around March 15th.As we are the current third years we are ought to take the responsibilities for organising a good one this time.So,i will have a lot of chance for bunking my classes in the name of "preperations for symposium".That way,i can stay away from having my mind fully corruptd(already its half done..) from the so called knowledge imparting done by my highly (s)killed college staffs.

I was like wanting to know the exact meaning of the word SYMPOSIUM.As usual my next stop was the "WIKIPEDIA" and the "DICTIONARY".I found something really interesting.The wikipedia defines SYMPOSIUM as," a drinking party (the Greek verb sympotein means "to drink together") but has since come to refer to any academic conference, whether or not drinking takes place."
the dictionary.com says that symposium means:

1. A meeting or conference for the discussion of some subject, esp. a meeting at which several speakers talk on or discuss a topic before an audience.
2. A collection of opinions expressed or articles contributed by several persons on a given subject or topic.
3. An account of a discussion meeting or of the conversation at it.
4. (in ancient Greece and Rome) A convivial meeting, usually following a dinner, for drinking and intellectual conversation.
5. A philosophical dialogue (4th century b.c.) by Plato, dealing with ideal love and the vision of absolute beauty.

SYMPOSIUM = GROUP DRINKING??????

Now,that sounds intersting.I wonder why it got changed from being a drinking party to a mere gathering of all fools at a place to :

1)Present a paper on some topic(which usually is a nothing but just a collection of facts stolen from different sites on the net)

2)Participate in some LAN gaming with most of the participants not knowing which game they are about to play

3)To contest in various events that were discovered by the organisers overnite like sudoku solving,technical quiz,treasure hunt etc......

4)Get free food.

I wish we could bring the real meaning of the word symposium into effect.:)

My Coll Is Eating My Time

2008-01-31T04:48:00.000-08:00

My stupid college is eating away all the little time iam having,as a result it has been nearly 5 solid days since i last logged in.Get up at 6 in the morning,get ready to coll,catch the train by 7.30,reach coll within 8.30 sharp(if me and guru go in just one minute late we will be screwed,we got this very good reputation of being late always,so they will screw us like anything if we are late).Sit there pointlessly in coll till 4,leave the coll,walk like the wind for about 2kms from the coll to catch the 4.25 train,reach home by 5.40.Now get ready to your computer class (i'l tell you about this shit in a while)which starts at 7.So leave the house by 6.30 again,and come back from the class around 8.4o,take a 20 min break,eat,sit before comp,only to be asked by mom to off it as the brightness of the comp disturbs her sleep,go to bed by 10.

OHHHHH FUCKKKKK.......Wat the fk is this???why am i writing all this out here first place??

Sachin's 39th century

2008-01-24T06:30:00.000-08:00

Sir Sachin tendulkar has scored his 39th test century at the Adelaide ,in the first day of the 4th test match of the Border Gavaskar trophy.This century is a sensational one,because this test match COULD be sachin's last test match in Australia.Also ,sachin has a very poor track record at the Adelaide scoring only some 60 odd runs in 6 matches,so expectations were high on him to go for the biggie,and there you go ,124 not out and still playing,this is awesome.

This is his playcard today:

Runs = 124(not out)

Balls Faced= 172

4'S = 10

6'S = 3

Strike Rate = 72.09

This century in particular is a glorious one ,he has hit this one in his usual style,blasting away ,not giving the opponents a minute to settle down.Sachin today just took two balls to reach his century from the 90s .First he hit a huge six and then he goes for a boundry,wow...what a game play....2008 is already proving to be his best year with 2 centuries already in his count.I watched a youtube video on his shots today,he sure seems to be back in his usual original form,THE BLASTING ONE....
THE TWO BEAUTIFUL SHOTS THAT ENABLED SACHIN TO REACH HIS 39TH CENTURY:

SACHIN'S AFTER MATCH TALK ALONG WITH A COMPILATION OF HIS SHOTS(A MUST WATCH *****):

He sure seems to be in his very best of forms,KUDOS master....

'SIR' TITLE TO SACHIN TENDULKAR???

2008-01-22T06:48:00.000-08:00

Sir sachin ramesh tendulkar???will this happen??

For those of you who don't seem to get what iam talking about here is the news,British Prime Minister Mr.Gordon Brown has expressed his wishes to entitle sachin tendulkar gi with the honorary title of "SIR".He has been said to have said these exact words--"I would like to see some of the great players of the modern era like Sachin Tendulkar proposed for honorary awards so the British nation can salute their achievements in these sports."

If sachin gi gets entitled with the title he would become the first Indian sportsperson to attain the sports knighthood.

Sachin gi would then join the group of legends like Sir Don Bradman , Sir Gary Sobers,Sir Edmund Hillary to be entitled with the same title.This news sure does fill my heart with countless joy,i'am sure that you all sachin(if not sachin fan ,atleast as an Indian you should be proud) fans out there feel the same.

I am really fortunate to be living in a period where i get to see this legend in live action.To me sachin definitely is THE GOD of modern day cricket.

INDIA BEATS THE SHIT OUT OF AUSTRALIA

2008-01-20T04:02:00.001-08:00

HURRRRRRRRRRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY..My joy is countless..

Though this is a delayed post,i got to express my feelings rite??so kindly adjust..
It was a historic(exaggeration) day at perth(19/1/08)when india defeated australia in the 4 match test series taking the scores 2-1(2 for aussie's)...Though it may at first seem to be a simple victory ,it ain't that simple and unimportant.the followings points might tell you why this win is sort of a historic one:

1)India with this win have broken down australian dreams of a 17 test match victories in a row..

2)It is India again,because even the last time when australia were cruising with 16 test match wins in a row it was india who paralysed the australian's of a legendary 17 match victory in row.

3)India comes out of all the hurdles put before them (like bajji's three test ban,sydney injustice,an already two test win that mighty aussies have taken) to emerge victorious

4)India pulls down a victory not even allowing australian's to see the sun on the 5 th day of the match....That's something awesome...

A Glimpse of what happened moments after india emerged victorious::

FEEL LIKE GOD

2008-01-14T09:16:00.001-08:00

Have you ever felt like god????

Yup!!!i have....today when i was riding my caliber early in the morning around 6.30,with fog surrounding the entire city ,
(that's because of this stupid custom here wherein people burn out things like tyres,clothes,papers,shit,literally anything they could lay their hands on,in the name of festival called bogi.....WTF???)
wind blowing up into my face and a whole empty stretch of shanthi colony road ahead of me outstretching its hands inviting me to explore him, i was indeed feeling like THE GOD ((dun know what that is????but from the stories that i have been told this name would best describe what i was that moment))....

Does this sound like over exaggeration????Not at all....This was exactly how i was feeling...

Occasionally ripping him,at times cruising constantly at 50 km/hr,and rarely showing what ma 115 engine has got to a girl in skut who tried to race me up,i was having full control of my life at that particular instant......It was like,everything in my life was in my control,i was feeling like as if i got suddenly transformed from a mortal homo sapien to a immortal stream of fresh breeze who could wander away totally undisturbed and unstopped by anyone...

I have never had this kind of feeling in ma life ever before other than the times i have spent in ma bike.....I guess others have their own activities that give them a similar feel- like singing,dancing,,sports,whatever, for me ,it's riding ma bike......If you are one of those hard rippers of the bikes,for once slow down,try cruising at some 5okm/hr on a empty stretch of road,u'l know what iam talking about.....

Okie....enough ...i have bored you enough...honestly, this post was just a pattern breaker,it was already 5 days since ma last post and still i was reluctant and lazy enough to post a thing,so ,i thought i should break the slumber within .....resulting in this post....

---------------------------------Thanks for your patience----------------------------------

SACHIN THE GOD

2008-01-07T07:16:00.000-08:00

The only consolation for the Indian team after getting back stabbed by the Australian cricket world was the class of its kind centuries by v.v.s.laxman and the master Sachin .Sachin's century came in the right time,at the start of a new year coz the last year (2007) was not so good for him,coz he missed nearly 6 centuries getting out in his 90's.

I was not one of those fortunate flock of people to have had the chance to watch "THE GOD" play,that's because of the stupid cable system here in Chennai which prohibits these channels from being telecasted.I was watching the first test match from ma comp,i had even posted the link TO WATCH CRICKET FROM YOUR COMP in one of my posts.But the past week my xp got crashed ,and i had to be without my comp for almost 4 days.
So when i heard that GOD had hit 154* and stayed unbeaten,i desperately wanted to watch his shots,as usual my next stop was you tube.Where i found this video .Here it is for you.

WATCH THE GOD PLAY:

I also got the following link.I guess some spectator has taken it,just watch sachin play from this angle.He is purely a SUPER COMPUTER.Look at how Quickly he reacts to a 150km/hr ball and punishes it to the boundary,a sheer beauty.

SPECTATOR'S EYE VIEW OF SACHIN'S PLAY: DON'T MISS IT---

UPDATE:

SACHIN'S BEAUTIFUL INNINGS AT THE PERTH(W.A.C.A) ON DAY 1 OF 3RD TEST MATCH B/W IND AND AUS :

See the 5th shot he plays,the late cut of the bouncer bowled from bret lee at a pace of 145km/hr......a sure master he is....

I heard that even Australian spectators enjoyed sachin's play to the greatest extent,and that there where banners saying:

"COMMIT CRIME WHEN SACHIN IS PLAYING,
COZ EVEN THE GOD IS WATCHING HIM PLAY"

"SHHHHHHH........SACHIN IS PLAYING"

I missed these live actions for sure.But i am contend with the fact that the master has finally broken his so called pattern to get out in the 90's. Kudos master,we love you.Keep going

---------------------------------THANKS FOR BROWSING----------------------------------

THE AUSTRALIAN FOUL PLAY

2008-01-06T05:04:00.000-08:00

May be Australia has won this match but It was a Black Sunday at the Sydney Cricket Grounds on 6/1/08 when the world watched a team's downfall not because of their poor performance but because of Foul play by both, the umpires and team Australia.Today was the 5th and the final day of the 2nd test match of the Border Gavaskar trophy played between India and Australia.This match was so crucial for Ricky ponting for two reasons ,a win here would:

1)Enable team Australia to equal their world record for 16 consecutive test wins.

2)Enable them to crush the spirits of Indian cricketers from thinking of a comeback

May be Ricky was so obsessed with winning this match that he and his team mates forgot about good cricket and resolved to fraudulent and cheeky techniques for clinching their 122 runs victory over team India.This was very evident From many instances on the field,let me list out:

1)Ponting attempts to take a diving catch at the silly point of dravid's bat,but ends up grounding the ball so obviously visible to everyone,but still goes on for an appeal.

2)Michael Clarke takes a catch at the slips of gangully's bats ,but misjudges it and ends up taking a catch just after the ball has pitched.May be it was hard for Clarke to know about this when he took the catch ,but what happened just after that was jaw opening.After taking the catch he rolls over ending up grounding the ball,which again is so evident ,but still,he and his team mates go for an appeal.

3)At this appeal,when umpire Mark Bensun(comments on this later) asks ponting as to whether the catch was taken,ponting confirms it by raising his index fingers to the umpire only to show the world how fraudulent Australians are.

4)Earlier in the match, this same Ricky stood rock solid on the grounds even after it was so obvious to him that he had nicked a ball on the leg side,but when the whole Indian team went on appealing,Ricky seldom made a move.

5)This was also the case with M.Clarke,when Dravid took a catch at the slips which not even remotely doubtful,Clarke stood waiting for the umpire's decision.

6)When Andrew Symonds was in his 30's he nicked a ball which was taken by keeper Dhoni,but still Symonds didn't make a move and he was not given out.Later he went on to make 162 .

On the whole,Australians didn't play a fair cricket.It was not the kind of cricket that was expected from the cricket fans all over the world..

I will be comin up with an post on Dubious umpiring soon

SEO TECHNIQUES 2

2008-01-05T08:59:00.000-08:00

Basic SEO introduction was covered in my last post namely,"SEO TECHNIQUES".Now i will give you a few tips as to how you can make your posts search engine optimizable.
Lets see one example and analyse the various techniques for search engine optimizing that topic.Consider that you are writing a post on mp3 players.The following are some techniques that will help you in seoptimising your post.

NOTE:

IN THIS POST I'M CONCENTRATING MAINLY ON KEYWORD OPTIMISATION,SO THE FOLLOWING POINTS APPLY FOR THAT ALONE.

* USE PLURALS

If you pluralize your words, those who search for the singular and the plural words will both find your site.In this example,it is better you write mp3 players rather than mp3 player.

* DIVERSIFY
One word alone will get a few people, but not everyone thinks like you do. Try to get into the mind of someone who would find your site/product useful.Here ,in this case you should include words like mp3 downloads,mp3 songs,etc....in your post.

*AVOID EXCESSIVE REPETITION
Some search engines are beginning to filter out sites that repeat words too much.In general don't repeat the keywords more than 2-5 times

*USE DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS
Not everyone think alike.Some people might have searched the same topic that you wrote about,but,in a different way like "mp3-players,mp3.players,mp 3 players etc....So in order to grab these traffics occasionally use different combinations of the same keyword,sometimes spelling mistakes also works your way(that has happened to me ,i got 12 searches via a mis spellt word).

*USE PHRASES
In a recent study conducted by one of the major search engines, it was revealed that over 65% of all searches made use phrases rather than single words.For example: use the phrases like "best mp3 players in market","cheap mp3 players","mp3 players that you can buy" etc.....

*TARGET NO MORE THAN FOUR KEYWORDS PER PAGE

These are some of the non-technical techniques that you can follow to get better results.I Will be coming up with another post on the technical aspects for SEO soon...

--------------------------------------CHEERS----------------------------------------

SEO TECHNIQUES 1

2008-01-05T08:25:00.000-08:00

SEO TECHNIQUES(Search Engine Optimisation Techniques) are the most looked after topic of search by most bloggers today.It is the process of optimising your blog page(web page in general) to be appearing in any search engine .I very recently entered to the blogging world and after hearing about SEO I too wanted my posts to be listed in top pages of google's search engines.In this attempt i wrote a random blog post called "Anna University Sucks".Just type "Anna university sucks" in Google search and you will see my blog page as the first search result.Also try"pondy ride" and you will end up with guru's blog in the first two search results of Google.This we achieved after practising some SEO techniques that we read online.

I thought i could share a few of them with you all.This i will cover in a series of posts rather than on a single one.To start of ,let me just tell you a few basics.
Every search engine searches your page for KEYWORDS. Key words are simply "the search terms which an end user might type for his search"
When you use these terms in your blog ,the chances that you get your blog page enlisted in a search result becomes higher.

For example: If your blog post is about movies,you can use terms like "movie downloads,songs,wallpapers etc...." in your post which will increase your chances of hitting the search pages with any combinations of the above search terms.

This doesn't mean that you can simply fill in your blog post with all keywords alone without any proper content.Apart from from being unethical,this might also end up in you getting your page penalized by the respective search engine (like Google)
Instead you could create a proper post with good content and still get listed in search engines.All you have to do is follow certain basic rules.
Having come up with a general idea on seo optimisation ,i will very very soon post on how you could seoptimise your page.

New Year's Eve

2007-12-31T15:14:00.000-08:00

It was new year round the corner.The entire city was getting ready for it's celebrations,with all local TV channels(sun tv,raj tv,vijay tv) announcing their new year eve special programs, all consumer product stores flooding with people who were waiting for this right opportunity to buy stuffs under reduced prices with eye catchy offers and every single working class of people preparing themselves for a day off in the mid of the week to celebrate the upcoming new year with their families.To top it all "CHENNAI OPEN 2007" begins on de 31st.So when me and guru accidentaly saw about it in the news paper we immediately planned to go for it.We roped in baga and kitcha.

When every body are exited about the new year i guess there is one class of people who go mad at times like these - The Police.These times are tough for them.And with latest increase in the adolescent drink drive cases ,it is tough time ahead for them.The city police had been announcing about the traffic regulations for the new years eve and the list of activities that are considered "OFFENSIVE" specially around this time, like spraying water from water packets on people to wish them new year ,and stuffs.Amidst all this they had to also provide protection for the tennis players and monitor traffic around nungambakkam,that's where the Chennai open is being held.
But i should say that they did quite a good job,it was not as tough as we thought it would be to drive around the city on new years eve.After it was clear that the ticket counter was closed and that we had to be there as early as 1o AM to get our tics,we decided to hit some place to hang out.We decided to hit besant nagar beach alias BESSIE .We were expecting a huge flock of people everywhere around the beach with not even a myriad of space available for parking the bikes around.But we were taken by surprise to find the otherwise jam packed bessie road to be left all alone by itself.Thanks to Chennai city traffic police for their thoughtful traffic regulation.First we were told by policemen who where blocking all the roads to bessie that "bessie was closed today for public".But we managed to sneak through and reach bessie.

The beach was also less crowded than ordinary.We just sat there for about half hour,ate the local "Millagai bajji" and left for "Murugan Idly Kadai" nearby.I have heard that idly ,in this hotel is awesome and i have also seen queue of people waiting outside these chain of shops for their turn into the hotel,so we thought we could give it a try.The hotel was unusually empty.We tested the eatables which the hotel is well known for - Idly.Here they serve you in "VAALAI ELAI"(banana leaf) rather than on plates.The idlys were costly here,Rs 6 per idly.I didn't find them that good.It was just normal one .Dunno why people have such a craze for it.
Then we thought we could visit the "broken bridge" which was quite near from bessie beach.You got to take a mud road through the fishermen slums here to reach there.It was very dark all the way and with frequent mobbing incidents happening at this place,we were quite concerned to make it safely.The broken bridge is a 500 m stretch of 1 metre wide bridge extending from the land to the backwaters from marina.If you could remember,this spot comes in the film "ayutha eluthu" where surya and madhavan fight for their first time in the film.The bridge was awesome due to its location,but it was pitch dark and gloomy,so we just pissed off nearby and left from there.

It was time for us to leave.We met up at kitcha's place,wished everyone and left for our places.It was around 9-9.30 when we returned,but the city wasn't that active ,on a day like this.It was just normal traffic in the city.May be it was due to the well monitored traffic control by the city police .

The much hyped evening in the city went quite peacefully and normally for us.We had a good time hanging out.

Benazir Bhutto Assasination Video

2007-12-29T18:25:00.000-08:00

I found Bhutto's assasination video ,last few final moments of bhutto and a news report on bhutto's assasination, video on youtube.I thought i could share them with you.It was a shame for pakistan government that they did nothing to provide enough security cover for bhutoo even after realising the great security threat to her life.

Look at how the gunman supposed to have shot bhutto makes his way so freely into the crowd,amongst so called tight security ,and shoots bhutoo with ease:

NEW CAMERA ANGLE CLEARLY SHOWS BHUTTO BEING HIT BY A BULLET:

BENAZIR BHUTTO ASSASINATION VIDEO:

Though Al Quaeda claimed responsibility for the attacks,the pakistani government's poor security is what is considered to have killed bhutto.

TURMOIL AFTER BHUTTO'S DEATH:

Hillary clinton yesterday asked for a detailed international probe into bhutto's death and condemned musharaff's govt. for being irresponsible.

LATEST UPDATE(30/12/07 : TIME 9 am):

The story has taken an unimaginable twist.An article in "THE HINDU" dated 30/12/07(page 19) says that"AL-QAEDA DENIES ROLE".

Alleged AL-QAEDA leader Baitullah Meshud denied any involvement in Bhutoo's assasination claiming govenments fowl play in the assasination.Al-qaeda claims that it is never in its agenda to ATTACK WOMEN and expressed grief over Bhutto's death.

This has given the story a new twist with governmnt claiming Bhutto's death to be an"ATTACK BY AL-QAEDA" and then reclaiming her death to be caused due to"ACCIDENT"
.Truth is yet to be revealed...

THIRUTHANI RIDE WAS AWESOME

2007-12-28T19:24:00.000-08:00

DATE : 28/12/07
DAY : Friday
DESTINATION : Thiruthani
DISTANCE : 82 kms approx from my place (Anna nagar)
BIKE : Caliber
BIKERS: Vijay(me) and Guru

Yipee!!!Yipee!!!!Yipee!!!!I made it ....I made it..... My first sneaky ride in my (my fathers actually) caliber.....

The whole plan started off immediately after our PONDY RIDE.We were so thrilled after the pondy ride that we immediately wanted to ride out again.It was mainly me,kaksi and guru ,who were really eager for another ride.We also met up at kaksi's place two days before and had discussions of another ride.That's when we decided to hit Thiruthani either on 27th or 28th .But plans started to get screwed up as neither kitch nor baga wanted to come,also srikanth had college....so it was me,kaksi and guru...so we put the plan aside...

Yesterday(28th of dec' 07),guru had called me asking if the plan was still on.The timing was so perfect for the ride,my dad was out of town,my mom allows to take the bike within the city limits,and to top them all i had enough cash of my own to afford for the ride.So when guru asked me,i jumped in right away.we had only one hitch,thats kaksi,we had a dilemma about asking him out,but then we decided to do this ourselves because we didn't want to miss the ride at the last moment due to some last minute screw up(sorry kaksi,but we had no choice).So,it was me and guru all the way.

We started off at about 1.30,went to vivek's place ,got his 3mp digicam and left his place around 2.The first thing we had to do was fill in fuel,we did that for 100 bucks in a local pb and then we went searching for a mechanic shop to disconnect calib's odo.I would definitely get screwed up if by any chance my parents came to know about the ride.We got it done in a shop near padi,only to find that it was so easy that we could have done it ourselves.After this,we had only one task left -to reach thiruthani soon.Ha!!i forgot to mention,we took the NH 205(MTH road),which passes via my coll.

Once we got past thiruninravur,it was just open roads ahead of us.So we started ripping off the bike .Indian government has its own way of imposing speed limits,the system is totally flawless and totally unmanned.You know what iam talking about,yup!!it is the ROADS,they where so messy and dug up that we had to sudden brake from 60-10 kms/hr within 2 seconds most of the times.To make the system even more flawless the govt. had build the roads bypassing every single village all the way that we had even more of a tougher time to dodge straying cattles on the middle of the road,shout "MOTHER FUCKER" aloud to announce to the assole crossing the road suddenly from nowhere,about our presence.

It was tough,but,once we were past a village ,till we reached another one,it was just beautiful roads ahead of us.By beautiful i don't mean to say that the roads were neat but ,they had so much curves,s bends,corners that we got a chance to test our riding skills.This is where guru impressed me.He started taking the corners like a professional that i got witchy,i wanted to prove my skills too.But,no one was ready for any mishaps at this moment.So there was no competition going on,we just drove like professionals.Occasionally we stopped by plain green fields,tall teak trees ,beautiful corners to take snaps .We had taken so much snaps before reaching LCR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING(50 approx from Chennai..this is a sister fucker institution of ma coll),that we had drained the batteries.Huffffff,no more cam....But ,it was advantageous too,we no more had to stop all the way for pics.

The roads for you :

From here thiruthani was just 20 kms.So we drove off really fast and reached thiruthani outskirts by 3.30.From there we had a 15 min journey to the temple (thats coz we had to enquire a lot about the route).The temple was in a small hillock ,which had roads for biking,so,up we went ....The temple was scenic.Up from the top we where able to see 20 kms radius of city around us,it was pretty decent ,this is where we missed our cam.After a 10 min visit into the temple ,we where off again.Guru drove down hillock in neutral gear (it was fun..the bike was rolling like a marble on the floor ).We then fuelled up again for 50 bucks ,ate something in a local hotel and started off at 5.0 sharp from there.

Guru was riding till LCR ,it was a pretty decent ride,he took the corners as usual.Also occasionally there would be a burst of ultimately chill air blowing up suddenly,believe me ,these breezes were cooler and fresher than any AC that man can ever come up with.After LCR,we exchanged positions,I was riding now.i was afraid of taking corners like guru,but for once i build ma courage and took only one corner pretty decently.That's the end of the show,cause it was already getting darker,so now,we had only one thing to do,reach home safely.

So it was now a sedate 60 km /hr riding.After reaching thiruvallur ,guru took turns to ride,after about half hour from this time we reached the city limits.By the time we reached our home,it was 7.
YIPEEEEEEE!!!!We did it again..another safe ride completed .After about 5 hrs,180 kms of riding at a stretch ,we were quite tired,but the ride was worth its pain......we learned a lot about riding on highways,i guess,we are quite improving in our driving skills..

Three days from now,ma coll would reopen and it would be another three month mad run to a place that i hate so much going to.But iam quite refreshed at the moment because of the two rides that we did.Looking forward for a good semester..

23/12/07 PONDY RIDE

2007-12-25T07:43:00.000-08:00

DATE: 23/12/07

DAY: SUNDAY

BIKERS : GURU, ME, SRIKANTH, KARTHIK, BALA KRISHNAN, KRISHNA

ROUTE: ECR EXPRESS HIGHWAY

The stage was set,plans made,and after the final dropouts(vamsi,srini,gsk),we were finally ready for the ride- day.This time was a lot different than the last time,everyone had informed our parents about the ride.This was advantageous to us in a lot of ways.firstly,we got enough cash.secondly,we no more had to fish for stories to be made up to our parents .

Since during our last ride this happened,we where very cautious this time not to get into any trouble.We had a lot of options for choosing the bikes for the ride.We had karthick's libero,srikanth's activa,guru's dio,baga's cbz ,kitcha's cbz again and my caliber.But due to various other reasons we settled for the above mentioned bikes.

Okie,without much delay lemme just tell you about our fantastic ride.Everything about this ride went really as planned- we all assembled on time at our meeting places,no more further dropouts occurred and each and every other thing was very perfect.But, we had an unexpected gift from FATHER NATURE,that was the thick fog cover over Chennai city on the morning of 23/12/07.The fog was so thick ,that the visibility was over only a 100 metre.

So when me ,guru and srikanth met at guru's place at around 6,we had the exiting moments of our life.Each one of us was looking at the other to acknowledge how wonderful this ride is going na be with the fog.We immediately decided that we should hit the highways before the fog disappeared,so,without any further delays,we left to kaksi's place .The ride to kaksi's place was enough to excite us to a level that was unseen by us till then.We were feeling as if we had got everything in life that we had ever dreamt of.That was because of the intense fog cover and the totally unoccupied roads ahead of us.It was like driving in our dream lands with some film technician producing the fog effect wherever we went.The ride to kaksi's house was fucking awesome.

When we reached there we where greeted by the other three riders with same excitement as that of ours.We where in no mood to make any further delays,so,we left kaksi's place around 6.45.Our first halt was a petrol bunk where our bikes got food.Then we got some of ourselves and again left the city outskirts around 7.40.Our wish was to ride at least half hour with the fog cover in the highways.But we had one small problem,we had to disconnect dio's odometer because guru would get screwed if his father saw the odo.

So the first half hour of the ride we where just looking out for a mechanic shop on the roadsides.We couldn't find one so early on a Sunday.So, with the fear of losing the fog ,we decided to proceed further without any delays.We all were praying that the fog remained at least for half hour.FATHER NATURE heard our prayers and responded unpredictably(his usual style) by giving us fog cover till 9.30 in the morning.Can you believe that???may be as guru said FATHER gave us this as a Christmas gift.It is better i put some pics to give you an idea of how the fog covered ecr looked that day:

With this kind of road,fog everywhere around,and drizzles of fog droplets hitting you whenever a breeze blows,you can't help much by just riding like mad men.We took brief breaks to take pics wherever possible ,to account for the fun we had during the ride.here are few of them:

The fog cover remained till we reached mahabalipuram.After that ,father realised that we where shivering and then he sent the sun ,which gave us warmth that we needed to feel the blood flowing through our body.After a short tea break we decided to hit the roads without further halts.But we sedately cruised at 60 with our headlights on,so that we could recognize our gang easily.We reached pondy by 12.

All of us were really very hungry,so we directly hit a local hotel,stuffed ourselves really well and then we straightly headed to the beach.Mean time i realised that my coll mate sunil was in pondy and made him a call to ask him about the places to go within pondy.He wanted to join us too.so,he asked us to wait near Gandhi statue ,where he came with his cousin later.

Meanwhile ,we guys had a lot of fun in the pondy beach,taking pics,throwing stones aflat on the sea,throwing them as long as possible in the sea and stuffs.After sunil came with his cousin to the beach ,we had this small discussion on where to go next.Sunil suggested a boating house that was near by,but we decided against that because none of us where ready to spend much in pondy.Instead we wanted to fill fuels in pondy because it is much cheaper there(rs.41 ,its 47.5 here in Chennai),and go offroading.

So, sunil and his cousin departed leaving us about an hour which we spent ranting in the park nearby.Exactly around 3,we left pondy .First we headed to the nearest Indian oil petrol bunk where we filled fuels for our bikes,then it was ride time.We cruised again at 60km/hr,leaving behind the wonderful day that we spent,behind .But we had further surprises awaiting.

We decided to take the bikes offroads.so we took a right from the ecr ,which took us straight to a deserted beach.we left our bikes behind because of thorny bushes and we hit the beach.We had the fun of our life times.The beach was so deserted that you could take a nude sunbath without being noticed at all.But we just limited ourselves to some nice photo shoots and small pep talks.That's when guru came up with the idea of writing blog names on sands for our blog advertisements.It came out pretty well.We also took time to take some classic shots like these:

It was hardcore fun...then we left the beach and hit the highways around 4.15.
All our way till marakannam we noticed police men standing on either side of the roads for every 200 metres,we wondered what it was all about.Then somewhere near marakannam we were stopped by one of the policemen ,who told us to wait by the roadside as the TAMILNADU CM KARUNANIDHI was heading his way towards Chennai.So ,we where all the more exited to see what was ahead.Within some 15 Min's,his convoy passed by.All the vehicles zoom passed at 100 km/hr.lucky assole.We took a video of his convoy from kaksi's mobile.Here it is:

Then after that drama was over,when we were about to leave one amongst us noticed a board saying Alamparai fort 3kms,in one of the side roads .It was just in front of us from where we where held up.So we decided to explore the fort.It was not much of a fort but just ruins of some 17th century fort build by some nawab.But as they say something out of nothing,we took some glorious shots from the fort.The fort was located on the backwaters.So the pics turned out to be quite a beauty.Here they are:

Around 6 ,we left the fort to hit the highways again.This was not we actually planned.We thought of reaching Chennai by 6.30 max. because nite rides at ecr can be dangerous.But we had to make some compromises for the fun that we had.But,we decided to ride really very carefully as a group.so we hit the highways at 60 km/hr in a formation so that we could stay together as a group.The roads where very dark.Only the reflectors helped us tell the borders of the road.But ,the ride was fucking awesome.

After brief breaks we reached Chennai by 8.30.Then,we assembled at kaksi's place around 9.Collected our things that we left behind ,had a small talk about how fuckin awesome the ride was,and then we left to our nests around 9.30.

Oh my,i have never had a fulfilling day in my life ever before.PHEW!!!!what a ride it was,what an awesome climate we experienced.Millions of thanks to FATHER NATURE and all our parents who made this ride an unforgettable one.

Sorry for the story telling,but,i wanted my emotions written down so that i could read it some time later to know how good my life was...

BLOGGING TIPS

2007-12-21T20:04:00.000-08:00

Blogging is really an art....It is not just writing your thoughts or any information just like that...you need to write in a presentable format to have readers stick on to your blog.....

ok...ok....stop frowning at me...i can hear you say,"what the fuck you know about blogging....you are an amateur too??"

yes,thats true,and thats why i made an honest attempt to read good blogs , articles on blogging and some tips on good blogging....i got some really good tips...i thought i could share it with you....thats the motive of this post....

let me give you a jist:

1) PRECISE AND SELF EXPLANATORY HEADING:

Your heading is like your face...it reflects your feelings from inside....your anger,happiness,surprises,sadness and every other myriad of your emotions can just be picked from your face...that is how your heading is-it reflects your entire post...
whatever you are going to write in the next few hundred words will become less important for your reader if the heading to your blog isn't precise and clear....

"ALWAYS GIVE A PRECISE AND SELF EXPLANATORY HEADING TO YOUR BLOG...AND WRITE THEM IN CAPITAL LETTERS"

2)KEEP IT SHORT:

None of your readers are interested in your essay of emotions and writeups....so keep your post as short but as precise as possible...FINISH OF YOUR POST IN 250 WORDS.......that would be suffice..

3)PROVIDE VALUABLE LINKS:

Always provide valuable and relevant links to your posts....also increase interlinking in your blogs...this would help in increasing viewerships...

4)FOLLOW PYRAMID STRUCTURE:

A lways follow pyramid structure for your posts......(ie)start your post with the core idea of your blog and build your views and informations around this idea..
Always the very first sentense of your blog is what people read to know wheter to continue or not....so,keep the first sentence of your post precise and as an jist of the thoughts that follow.

5)USE SIMPLE LANGUAGE:

Use simple english language rather than local sms lingo or your mothertounge language or a sophisticated and complicated english....

I guess this post was usefull and worhty...even iam trying to blog keeping these as the base...

thanks for reading.....

PROVERBS SUCK

2007-12-21T19:14:00.000-08:00

Please someone explain to me this proverb:

"A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE"

may be it conveys the raw meaning ,but WTF does the above proverb mean as a sentence...
These are just a stupid rant of some drunk guy,publicised so much that it got added in to the list of useless wasted english sentences called "PROVERBS"

Also i want to comment on this one:

"FIRST IMPRESSION IS THE BEST IMPRESSION"

is this true???

fuck only it is true....always the first impression is the wrong and false one....
This so called proverb is known to all,so everyone tries to impress someone on their first sight by projecting wrong images and false characters....

Temme,this can you remem anyone you know to be of same character as you though they would be on their first arrival to ur life???

Even with my mom and dad this thing is not true.....when i was born i was crying like anything after seeing my mom it seems....but she is the awesome lady i have ever known...

so lets rephrase the proverb:

"FIRST IMPRESSION IS MISLEADING"

Also someone please temme the meaning of the proverb at the begining of the post....

and also temme what you feel about proverbs...

iphone

2007-12-21T18:44:00.000-08:00

After i heard that vivek(my skul mate) got his iphone i really couldn't wait to get my hands on it......when guru called me if i could join him to vivek's house to have a look at the iphone,i readily jumped in ....

I had watched this video on iphone a few months before.After watching this video i was like desperate to have a look in at the iphone and when vivek got it why wouldn't i be exited ..

My very first look at vivek's iphone was enough to sum it up all.....what a big screen!!!....the iphone's screen size is much larger than the apple's video pod screen size.......

let me just say you a few points that i observed on the iphone:

1) It has a very big screen

2)The looks of the phone are great

3)clarity is just awesome

4)The cover up mode works really very fast and it is really attractive.

5)It's bigger screen size is also enables you to browse the net as you would on your pc...the entire web page fits into the screen with decent fontsize so that you could read even without zooming in

6)The sound clarity was also really really cool

The only few disadvantages of the phone are:

1)the touchscreen makes the phone so messy with finger prints all over the screen...may be you could buy some silicon cover for that..

2)the charging process is not mobile...coz it is USB charged ...so you cant plug it in the ac outle of your house for charging...you need a pc...but,there is a ac to usb convertor available in the market i guess...

3)it is too sexy,you could end up loosing your best friend coz he might end up stealing the phone from you...(may be thats technically not possible,jus my praise for the phone)

i'am not technically very well informed about the disadv of the phone ...so,i confine myself on its physical disadvantages.....

to sum it up...IPHONE ROCKS....

AJAB SI ....AJAB SI

2007-12-20T23:10:00.000-08:00

AJAB SI ....AJAB SI...... song from oso(om shanti om) is quite AJAB SI ....AJAB SI....(unique is what is ajab si rite???)
WOW....what a melody...iam so obsessd with this song that yesterday whole night i put on my earphones and was listening to this one song over and over again in my friend's mp3(thanks to guru).......i fell asleep without turning off my mp3,the song must have beenkept playing for some 80 times.....but when i got up in the morning i listened to it again for two hours at a stretch....the song is so fresh everytime i hear it...it is one of those rare compositions which always has a new innovative bit that you left unnoticed the last time you heard it.....

every song you hear impresses you again and again because you dont notice the slightest variations in the music evrytime you hear .....so when you hear it oncemore you have another fresh surprise in the music ....and you go on hearing it again n again....

once you are thorough with each and every bit of the music you hear ,you wouldnt want to hear it again.....

imagine,why would you want to do something again and again ???you would do it because you have yet another thing to learn in it.....

its like sex....you have sex with a person...then,thats it na...your fantasy should be over...but,you dont mind goin on....thats because you fantasise differently at different circumstances and times...(ie)you have left something unfinished the last time...and it keeps on impressing you everytime you go for it....

songs are similar to that....

that is where ajabsi ajabsi is ...ajab si ajab si....there is something always left unnoticed and wonderful to hear everytime you hear it again....
cheers and millions of thanks to the composer....

VELLORE SRIPURAM GOLDEN TEMPLE

2007-12-16T00:24:00.000-08:00

Recently, i went with my family to the golden temple of sripuram in vellore .Here i would like to give an idea about going to the temple.

The temple is roughly 140km from Chennai.

The best mode of transport to the place is by bus,because train travel is much more complicated.Get a bus to vellore.

All buses go the vellore new bus stand,from where you have to go to the vellore old bus stand.You could use an auto,but i would suggest local bus.Lots of local bus go to the vellore old bus stand.For this you have to catch the bus opposite to the vellore new bus stand.

Once you reach the vellore old bus stand ,you could either take an auto or an share auto or local bus.

The temple is located at sripuram which is roughly 10 kms from vellore old bus stand(its a straight road from vo bus stand)

auto = charge is 50 rs

share auto = charge is 5 rs per head

bus = route no 80,charge should be less

CELL PHONES , MP3 PLAYER ,CAMERA,VIDEO CAMERA are strictly prohibited inside the temple.

There are deposit counters where you could leave all your cellphones , and stuffs .They pack your cellphones in a plastic cover and keep it safely.You could also leave your bags at the deposit counter.You will be charged 3 rs for each stuff you leave in there.

HOTEL ANNAPURNA is within the temple premises,where you could refresh yourselves.This hotel and another hospital are maintained by the temple trust,which are located within the temple premises.

It could take one hour to visit the temple.PLEASE AVOID GOING ON WEEKENDS AND FRIDAYS.

FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION AND PICS OF THE TEMPLE PLEASE FOLLOW THIS link

HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE

2007-12-14T22:58:00.000-08:00

Well, the answer to this question is a long series of steps and procedures one has to adopt to be sucessful in the process of making money online.
For beginners, the process could be tiresome and gloomy .You need a guidance from someone who is already into the process of online money making.while i was searching for one such site,i found netbuisnessblog site.I found the site really as an yellowpage for online money making.

But as every other site ,this site to has its cons.Quickly i'l give my views of the site's pros and cons.

PROS:

As i said earlier the site is a dictionary for online money making.It has got lots of guidlines for any blogger who wants to mint money online.apart from just guiding us to the process of money making ,there are also articles on the common misconceptions and deceptive articles which could end up in you losing your PR.
On the whole the site offers you an ocean of ideas from someone who is so into money making online that you could end up being one such guy within a quick period of time.

CONS:

Being an amateur ,this is what i felt as a negative of this site:

the site has too many ideas and steps clustered all together in a single space,which could leave you in a dilemma as to where to start.
But if you are a person who is really wanting to mint money online this site is an extremely useful one.

anna university sucks

2007-12-08T19:56:00.000-08:00

Anna university sucks for sure.Students were totally taken unawares when Anna university suddenly sent out a message personally, i guess(because there was no intimation beforehand in the form of any circulars or notice)to every college asking them to not allow students use their Casio fx-991ES and Casio fx-991MS calculators .This was because these calculators were programmable it seems.WTF,these models of calculators were being used by students right from their entry to college.In fact,the college themselves bought the fx-991MS calculators to their students in concessional rates.WTF was the Anna university doing all these years .Totally senseless is the idea of prohibiting the use of these calcis on the pretext that they are programmable.do they have a 5 GB memory to store all answers are Wat???you can store just 4 sets of numbers.Let me know if there is a way of coding these numbers to indicate any full answer for a question.WTF was Anna univ thinking .and YTF they had no brains to inform beforehand about the prohibition of these calci.

The news that these calcis were not allowed for xams was delivered as a surprise package to students of then 2nd year 3rd sem students on the day of their maths exam i guess. what would they have done without using their calcis.The news then spread to all students and then there was this whole dilemma amongst third year students as to "whether we would be allowed to use the calci","if not,which other model to use".......Then there was this news that there is a model 500 series from casio which could be used...many students went on buy this model overnight...the shop owners knowing the demand for the product started to raise their price...

As suspected, students of third year were also not allowed to use their calcis....for those people who were firm in their belief that they would be allowed to use those models ,it was a d day....but ,invigilators in the room were kind enough to circulate the calcis around for those who did not have the allowed models....but for exams like DSP and TLW everyone needed their calci for almost the entire exam.....so,those who did not have their models were fkd up again...

It is true from Anna univ's point of view that "they had mentioned in hall ticket's rule 15 that students may not use programmable calculators"
but my question is,"what the fk were you doing all these years allowing us to use it" ,"y the fk u did not come up with a notice beforehand about prohibition of these models"

Also i came to notice one thing.....In the INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATE page that's behind the hall tic of every student rule 9 says that students shall use only BLUE OR BLACK ink for answering their answer sheets....but in the answer booklet provided to students ,it is said that "EVEN BLUE BLACK INK " is allowed.....
Are you Anna univ guys nuts???Where you drunk or drugged while printing the rules???
do u have a thing called sense???
man , i get pissed off so much with these guys....

SACHIN THE GREAT

2007-12-06T18:49:00.000-08:00

What are the things which the Indians can boast about??

ANS:

1) their rich culture

2) heritage

3) huge population(considering anything u have in huge numbers is something to boast of-well in that category it would also include huge amounts of aids patient)

4) abundant natural resources

5) and ya ,of course SACHIN TENDULKAR

It is said that out of every 7 babies born in the world 1 is Indian....and out of every 5 Indian babies born after the year 1989(that's when sachin made his debut as an cricketer) 4 of them are sachin fans.....

This is the kind of fan base that sachin has ...not only in India ,all around the world people praise him and hail him as "THE LITTLE MASTER"....
Sir Donald Bradman ,the legendary cricketer has quoted in his autobiography that ," I was most taken in by Tendulkar's technique, compactness and his shot production "(source: wikipedia)

I always used to refuse the fact that class cricketers can predict the kind of delivery to be bowled by a bowler by just watching their hands....I mean,come on,how can some human have such a good reaction time to look into the hands of a bowler within just a fraction of seconds and decide his shots... don't joke.....
well, i was totally dumbstruck when i watched a video from youtube (which was a excerpt from a ESPN programme video on sachin)....phsycologists say that sachin is such a class of an batsmen that he can "predict the delivery even before the bowler takes his run up to bowl the ball"
how cool is that .....unbelievable is it???have a glimpse at this video:

he is truly an class of his kind isn't he....
well,i also read about sachin in the wikipedia ...i found some interesting facts about him....here they are at your disposal:

1) Tendulkar is ambidextrous, he bats, bowls and throws with his right hand, but

prefers to write with his left hand. He also practices left-handed throws at the nets on a regular basis.

2) Tendulkar is the only player to score a century while making his Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy and Irani Trophy debut

3) When he was 14 Indian batting maestro Sunil Gavaskar gave him a pair of his used

ultra light pads. "It was the greatest source of encouragement for me," he said nearly 20 years

later after passing Gavaskar's top world record of 34 Test centuries. Recently he surpassed the

highest number of half centuries scores in ODI cricket held by Inzamam Ul Haq.

4) While at school, he was involved in unbroken 664-run partnership in a Harris Shield

game in 1988 with friend and team mate Vinod Kambli, who also went on to represent India.

The destructive pair reduced one bowler to tears and made the rest of the opposition unwilling

to continue the game. Sachin scored over 320 in this innings and scored over a thousand runs in

the tournament. This was the record partnership in any form of cricket, until 2006 when it was broken by two under-13 batsmen in a match held at Hyderabad in India

5) When Sachin was young, he would practice for hours on the ground with his coach.

He would often get bored of practising. So his coach used to put a one-Rupee-coin on the top of

the stumps. the bowler who dismissed Sachin would get the coin. If Sachin passed the whole

session without getting dismissed, the coach would give him the coin. Sachin says even today that those 13 coins are his most prized possessions.

and here's a information to top it all

6) In commemorating Sachin Tendulkar's feat of equalling Don Bradman's 29

centuries in Test Cricket, automotive giant Ferrari invited Sachin Tendulkar to its paddock in

Silverstone on the eve of the British Grand Prix (23 July 2002) to receive a Ferrari 360

Modena from the legendary F1 racer Michael Schumacher. On September 4, 2002 India's

then finance minister Jaswant Singh wrote to Sachin telling him that the government will waive

custom's duty imposed on the car as a measure to applaud his feat. However the rules at

the time stated that the customs duty can be waived only when receiving an automobile as a

prize and not as a gift. It is claimed that the proposals to change the law (Customs Act) was put

forth in Financial Bill in February 2003 and amended was passed as a law in May 2003.

Subsequently the Ferrari was allowed to be brought to India without payment of the customs

duty (Rs 1.13 Crores or 120% on the car value of Rs 75 Lakhs). When the move to waive

customs duty became public in July 2003, political and social activists protested the waiver

and filed PIL in the Delhi High Court. With the controversy snowballing, Sachin offered to pay

the customs duty and the tab was finally picked up by Ferrari. Tendulkar has been seen taking his Ferrari 360 Modena for late-night drives in Mumbai.

4th sem

2007-12-04T08:14:00.000-08:00

Having crossed 5 semesters in my course (which is e.c.e),i thought i might give my views on choosing books for the semester.....

let me first start off with 4th sem (e.c.e)(anna univ pattern)

For the following subjects :

1) LIC
2) ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS 2
3) SIGNALS AND SYSTEMS
4)MI

Its best if you just follow "bakshi"(technical publications)....for scoring marks its just sufficient....but if you really got the intntion to understand the concept n stuff go in for the "foreign author" books from your syllabus book

LIC : even "ROY CHOUDHRY" is good.....roy chowdry is a two in one book....it even helps for
your "LIC LAB"

EMF : either bakshi or sadiku is fine

RP : for RP use "SINGARAVELU"(meenakshi publications)

This is just my view.....dont go in for these books blindly....always buy your books after some major portion has been covered in your coll for the respective sub.....tis helps you to analyse between books keeping the topic thought to as reference........
I say this because i was misguided by a blog of similar type for my 5th sem....so always use these information as a reference and not as a decider....

SURYA

2007-12-04T05:05:00.000-08:00

For those who have been with me ,it is a well known fact
that i am a die hard fan of Surya.....but what made me like this guy so much??simple,he is an "awesome actor".....he was the one who broke the general masala formula for an hero of speaking lengthy dialogues to make their presence felt on screen.....he speaks with his eyes....his eyes are so expressive that he can manage an entire film without an single dialogue but still ,don the role.......

Though he came into the cine field with the backing of his father,mr.sivakumar(who is also an actor in kollywood),he now stands apart as an class actor in the field...not many actors with strong film industrial family background have been successful....
our star made his debut in "nerukku ner" in which he co-starred with another giant star "vijay".....the film didn't provide him an breakthrough....he continued acting in many small films and just as talks were around about his possible "VR(voluntary retirement)" from the film industry ,"friends" hit the screens....again ,even in this one he had co-starred with actor vijay...the film went on to become an commercial hit....and "surya" was noticed once again as having potentials for an actor.

It was the film "nandha" directed by mr.bala which provided the breakthrough that he needed.....Surya was fantastic in the film.....it was after "nandha" that he was looked upon as an actor...from there on it was no looking back for him.....he continued to act in films which had gave him enough scope to prove his talents to the world......he grabbed the hearts of millions of fans with his splendid performance in films like "kakka kakka" "gajini" "mounam pesiyade" "ayutha eluthu"etc.......he is one actor who has had the luck of acting below class directors like "mani rathnam" "bala" "gautham" " ameer".......but as it is said ,it is not enough you have luck...but your efforts make it to your advantage....that proved to be true with Surya.....he proved his class as an actor.....

As i had already mentioned Surya is one of those peculiar actors who can do wonders with just the wink in his eyes....he has this overflowing charisma and heart throbbing smile ,with which he grabs the heart of millions of his fans....according to me ,he has the capacity to go to the dreamland which every actor longs to go to , "The Hollywood".......that day is not far away...

having said few words about him ,i would like to furnish you all with his personnel details and career details....here it is:

D.O.B ::: 23rd July 1975

SAVANT SYNDROME

2007-11-19T05:25:00.001-08:00

Being my first blog entry ,i thought of sharing something interesting...the word that you see in the title of the blog -savant ,that is what i am going to talk about....i came to know of this only recently(may be you know it already)....i was really fascinated to know that something of this sort existed....here it is

SAVANTISM:

Savantism is also known as savant syndrome or autistic savant syndrome or just savantism....it is the case where a person suffering from the syndrome has a very low general intelligence( IQ ) but a very high narrow intelligence in one or more fields like music,art,lightening calculation,calender calculation etc.....the word "savant" is derived from a French word meaning "learned man"....since people with savantism cannot do things which a common man can do...

they are also referred to as "IDIOT SAVANT"

for (ex): kim peek is an savant with extraordinary memory but still he is mentally retarded...may be, the name doesn't strike any bells in your head....but i bet u know abt him....he is the inspiration behind the movie "THE RAIN MAN" . Kim Peek 's character was beautifully portrayed by DUSTIN HOFFMAN..the film also has tom cruise in it....this film came way back in 1988 ....but i came to know about this film and this thing about savantism only now....

still thinking whats great about being a savant ???take a look at this...

here is another video on "THE LIVING CAMERA"...

phew!!!!no doubt that "I wanna be a savant"

ya ,being one requires you to make some sacrifice in your normal life,like,you cant read or write like normal people.....who cares....imagine you having the power of Kim peek ...you can anyways get a gold medal in studies....

i have tried to introduce to you to savantism (thats in case you don't know already).....if you are really interested to know more about it ....just visit this link

thanks for reading......
