WORST KOLLYWOOD HEROES...   [VIEW FULL POST]

- BARBI SCRIBBLED THIS ON 12/29/2006


It was a Sunday afternoon and I switched on my computer, took my remote in hand and lay down in my bed. I pressed the power button to see a vulgar and rowdy like man in sun music. A fair girl beside was singing “Karuvaa Paiya”. this song is from the film Thoothukudi. (took 15 mins to find it out, thanks google!)

It was almost like hot favorite “Nayantara” and continue..#$%^ Sarath Kumar in “Oru Vartha Pesa”. The hero just walked, not doing anything apart from walking. The heroine danced around the hero. That song was inbearable. Not even Nayantara looked good in that song.

This song “karuvaa paiya” was not even something like horrible. I felt like bashing the remote on the wall. What an amazing number “karuvaa paiya karuvaa paiya”. I prefer calling him “t*******a paiya t*******a paiya”, an abusive word in Tamil. If you get the feel that I m being rude, I assume, (no! infer) that you have not yet seen that song, especially the hero.

Why does someone have to make a hero out of a man, who resembles a man sitting in the corner tea shop smoking beedi. I am not against this man alone. With a lot of new faces hitting the hero list in the kollywood, this hero is just one more, not to be spared.

There are essentially a few qualities a hero has to possess in order to have a story built around him and make a million people watch it for three hours. If I ever got a chance to meet him in person I should really ask

"Exchuse me plz! “have u seen your face in the mirror?”

“dai unaku manaSaatchi ye kadayadha?” “kari chatti mandaya”

Now take a look at other so called heros who have hit the screen. Suddenly I feel even dhanush is better than these guys. Look at pandiya rajan's son prithvi in bis film "kai vanda kalai". wow!
'Enna koduma saravanan idhu!!'








There are of course a good number of handsome guys and other guys though not too handsome filled with talent. But for this list of guys, its shear waste of money, if you go to the theatre. Of course if it is a GAPTUN’s movie, we all love it. 

Shane warne bags 700   [VIEW FULL POST]

Glory for Warney! 700 victims , 700 million admirers perhaps - howzzat ?
Its truly History in the making

Warney, the spin wizard, bagged his 700th test wicket today in the fourth test of the ashes. This leading wicket taker in test cricket, struck with his 20th ball to achieve this feat. Shane Warne treated spectators with an amazing delivery, which spun too much and hit the top of middle stump. He was bowling from over the wicket to Andrew Strauss and the batsman was obsolutley baffled. What a way to see this landmark, that too in front of his   continue.. home crowd. This champ is also considered one of the living legends, having being named as one of the wisden top five cricketers of the century.

A true legend, I watch the ashes just for the bowling of Warney and McGrath. But it is almost dusk for this legend. He has announced media of his idea to hang his boots at the end of the current ashes series. Another spin wizard, muthiah muralidaran is not too far off and the cheering factor is he is still a few years to play. Well records are meant to be broken and history to be created again. Can anybody peak this record set by Warney?
It’s the future to decide..

ASHES AUSTRALIA AND KANGAROO..   [VIEW FULL POST]

- BARBI SCRIBBLED THIS ON 12/19/2006


A small urn and a nation’s pride with it.

Look at the fifa world cup, a solid gold trophy designed by the Italian artist, silvio Gazzaniga. It is a great pride to lift a trophy as that.

On a huge contrast take a look at what you lift (lift???) when you win the ashes. Damma thoondu oru cup. I thought they used one such for spitting (beeda aka pan) in to a waste tumbler.. or dabara. It looks more like a drishti bommai placed in the corner of the rows in a golu (i.e. oosi sundal time) [continue] , a set of laughing soldiers we used to play in childhood, which fits inside the next size doll recursively. The cup I won in school for a kabbadi match is certainly larger.

Yet it is considered a great pride to win the ashes and a bad humiliation to lose it. The history behind the ashes is sort of funny. It is based on a incident dated way back more than a century ago. When the oz won the test series in England, the press claimed English cricket is dead. And personification to an extent that English cricket was to be burnt and the ashes taken back to the kangaroo land. They took with them a small urn. What is contained in the ashes’s urn? A stupid question. Ashes of course. Ashes of what? Ashes of some cricket equipment. Many sources suggest it was a bail.

Cha ! what a big fight for a small urn of ash? Namma orula veebuthi ku sanda poduvangala? No they fight only for sundal or koozhu.

But the aussies deserve full credit for a whitewash. And a pity England is really in bad shape. There are a lot of factors behind that. Micheal bevan, steve Waugh, mike slaughter, mike Clarke, Johnson , mcgill and so many people stand testimony for that. The idea is “prove your worth in your side or else f*ck off” or in basic terms “earn your place”. The afore mentioned list of players are immensely potent and they did not perform possibly for a match or two, just to lose their place. Ohh! V.v.s laxman should have been Australia. Having piled up a massive double hundred, he stayed in the side for a couple of years with that single performance. And the reason behind all these comes back to the same origin. The country is CORRUPT.

Take a look at dinesh karthick’s performance before the tour to south Africa.

Played : 5 matches
Runs : 15 runs
Highest score : 14
Rest : 1000 (no plz, it is not thousand but one, followed by three ducks)

Still he was selected with already a good wicket keeper in the side. They called him a bastmen. How? Were there not other players who deserved the place?

Money speaks a lot.

With human resource being a plus in our country, and not lagging too much in technology either, what is that that pulls back from being on top? The aussies are performing with a passion and fear of losing their side in the place. for indians, a century for a year will have your place cemented in the playing eleven.

Australia is suffering from a poor birth rate and Surprisingly there are more kangaroos than people in the country. And know what? They are suffering from low FERTILITY RATE. The government is making steps to reduce kangaroo population by oral contraceptive. And increase human population by immigration and by offering incentives and free education when a child is born. This is actually analogous to the 250 rupees and rendu kilo arisi given by the tamil nadu state government.

VJ - SUN MUSIC DIVYA   [VIEW FULL POST]

Sun music divya vj
How easy is it to be a video jockey?

You got to say hi to everybody.

You got to talk to the kids, teen and the old aged alike.

You got to bear the mokkai, from the vetti people around chennai and all over the country who call. Horribly, it’s the other way around too. These anchors usually put mokkai. There was a stupid programme called blade no.1. I cant see why they must have a stupid programme like that.


And one another programme, where in the viewers write , (ya snail mail), to the tv station. Many a times it strikes in my mind why this ever happens

A horrible looking babe, sorry girl (read attu figure..)

“neenga romba azhaga irukeenga – apidinu ezhithirukanga – thank you so much”

I didn’t know if I was supposed to laugh, smile, bear the mokkai or cry. I got to add this to my list of protests and voices

Put all these aside, there are good (looking) anchors in the show too.

Orkut , besides being the platform the vetti people on the internet , provides a scaling for popularity for celebrities and normal people alike, by means of communities.

For instance, I found that this lovely VJ Divya has a community with over 1500 members (yours truly is one among the crowd ). She besides being pretty does a good job in front of the camera.

Another good and pretty DJ , hema sinha left the show and I see horrible messages saying “I miss u” almost everyday in HEMA SINHA Community. (my personal favorite and the gal whom my eyes see as the most beautiful)

With this card, I went maniacal over this girl (divya) for a few days. And got over 300 snapshots (oops did I mention videos? ). i was sure, i was going crazy about this pretty gal. (did i say LOVE?)


Tired of orkut??

TV CAPTURE CARD   [VIEW FULL POST]

- BARBI SCRIBBLED THIS ON 12/14/2006

The idiot box just got smarter.

How to watch cable TV in your computer? or (in local slang) how to watch sun TV in computer?

The idiot box, also called television is a must be there at everybody’s home. Ranging from “popeye the sailor man” for the kinder garden children to English premiership league and uefa to the football maniacal people to the stupid soaps “chithi” and “kolangal” , (theres lot more.. movies, news, music and other stuff) everybody spends a little time gazing at the idiot box , though most of them are not obsessed with it. (plz spare the soap-viewers).

I remember when I was in class six or seven, I used to fight with people at home for the television every Sunday morning. It was a fight between laser light ramanand sagar’s SRI KRISHNA (DD-1) against “beetal pachisi” , a adventure based serial in the second channel. I alwatys wanted to view the programme and got heavy oppostition from others at home. Then slowly, the number of hours of watching TV went down tremendously. It was always a sports channel I watched. But then I thought I should buy a TV as soon as I take up a apartment after diving in to the earning phase of the life.

But now I watch a good number of programmes everyday, still I don’t own a TV at home. How? We three roomies, me, abi, this lazy to blog fella share a apartment. We have a desktop at home and we never miss Monday night raw and premiership sunday.

We have tv capture card plugged in. It is also referred to as tv tuner card sometimes.

cost : 1200 bucks (intex)

With almost good number of people staying off their homes in bachelor rooms, this feature is like a wonderful dish when hungry. Got a computer? Buy a TV capture card, possibly internal, and watch sun tv in your computer. By doing so,

1. You save seven or eight grands. The money you ‘ll invest on the idiot box against 1200 bucks for this hardware.

2. You don’t have to buy a TV stand

3. You don’t have to allocate space in the corner of the hall for the TV.

4. the highlight of the capture card is this.
You can take a snap shot of the screen, lying down on the bed, with your remote control. You can even capture a video. Me and my roomies (abi in particular) have used up 2 GB of our hard disk and it is growing everyday for a great repository of photos. We almost have every actress from the tamil industry, plus a few babes from zee café, telugu, Malayalam , kannada, marati, hindi , Hollywood, European babes. Planning to start a
semi-porn site :-)

5. That’s not it. You can even record when you are not at home by setting a scheduler. We sometimes record a movie, while we are sleeping. And watch it on Sunday afternoon.

6. Even that’s not the end of the list. We have a beautiful facility to watch 25 channels in a single screen. A 5 x 5 matrix of channels, confusing you where to watch.

7. Also we have a radio integrated with it. But I have never even intended to listen to it.

**** remember all this are possible, if only if the TV capture card is a internal one.

PLANNING TO BUY A TV? GOT A DESKTOP? BUY A TV CAPTURE CARD INSTEAD!.

I don’t think its possible to post my pictures here. I have an amazing archive of snapshots, most of which need to be blurred. :-)

I took my time to pick those rare ones, which needed no blurring from my 2000 files.

HACKING WINDOWS – DISABLING RECENTLY OPENED DOCUMENTS

Disclaimer: this is an article which just brings out the fact that it is possible to tell windows not to store RECENTLY OPENED DOCUMENTS. If you however get caught by your manager or college system administrator, and get whipped in your ass, I cannot be held responsible.

This tool is a inbuilt tool present in windows XP, just like msgconfig. So you got to execute this command using run.

1 . Start ->run and type gpedit.msc

The gpedit stands for group policy and you can do wonders using this. Here it is possible to tell windows not to store your recently opened documents. If some one else accesses your computer and you watch and store too much of ---- pictures and you have a younger or big bro who sneeks his head in to your computer, this might come in very handy :-)

2 . User configuration -> administrative Templates -> start menu and taskbar ->

3. This option opens up a pane on the right hand side. Identify the option DO NOT KEEP HISTORY OF RECENTLY OPENED DOCUMENTS.

4. Double click DO NOT KEEP HISTORY OF RECENTLY OPENED DOCUMENTS.

5. a small screen pos up and you may like to read about the explanation in the EXPLAIN TAB before you change the settings.

6. Just change the radio button TO ENABLED and say apply.


7. DONE. No history of documents is maintained either in the start menu and also in the file option of windows programs. Say MS WORD or PHOTOEDITOR.

8. you may also be interested in this option. CLEAR RECENT DOCUMENTS ON EXIT and MAXIMUM NUMBER OF RECENT DOCS.
