mokkai communities orkut karadi deva [VIEW FULL POST]

Any body can tell you, only vetti people use orkut. Last night i was awake the whole of the night and i couldnt help browsing in orkut. I did find a few interesting communities and the description was that creative that i am promoting them.
If you are too jobless, you could enjoy those communities forum messages also. These are simply awesome.

1. Deva - son of modonna
Birth place : Salzburg, Austria; Age 3: started to play the keyboard; Age 5: started composing minuets; Age 12: completed his first opera, La finta semplice.[[continue the mokkai tour..]] By his teenage years, he mastered the piano, violin, and harpsichord.. who's this child prodigy? Mozart?.. nonsense! he's none other than our own musical genius 'Thenisai thendral' Deva! - Chennai's answer to Ricky Martin. A new genre of melodious music, called Gaana, peppered with soothing lyrics evolved during his tenure as a musician. Deva's famous punch dialogue: "Copyright - aangilathila enakku pudikaatha ore varthai". His songs resemble popular English and Hindi numbers.. anyway who cares, for to buy a Backstreet Boys CD would cost roughly twice as much as Deva's albums! ..and you have the same quality (or rather the same) music !! super-duper money saving scheme thanks to the virtuoso. It is said that Tansen could create fire by singing rag Dipak. He he! Deva can set Tansen to fire by singing Salomiya!! Alas! a community for all Deva fans.

2. Karadi T.R. aka T.Rajender
It's a bear! It's a godzilla! No, it's TR!!! (Karadi + King Kong = Karadi Kong)

TR - One of the greatest comedians ever produced by Tamil Cinema. Unlike most other funny guys who tell jokes, do slapstick.. TR can make you get stomach-ache laughing in fight scenes, sentiment scenes, why even tragedy scenes.

All his films have the nameboard "Story, Screenplay, Music, Dance, Lyrics, Direction, Production and Acting by T.R."

Which leads us to one logical question - "Endha nenappula ivangellam padam edukkraanga?"

Join this group to share your views on the Karadi Kong. Or come in to learn more about his exploits on/off screen

3. Gaptun aka vijayganth aka vijayaknath
At last...a community dedicated to the lone crusader. India's saviour in times of national crisis...
Whether there is terrorist activity in Jammu or kidnappings in the South...one man answers the call of the entire nation...VIJAYAKANTH..India's answer to Superman, Spiderman and Batman put together.Add a comical element to it( all his action movies) and dancing + singing like Elvis the Pelvis and presto..you get a real superhero.

This community is dedicated to sharing comments/views about all his movies.

4. Ramarajan - cowboy
sorgame ennalum athu namma ooru pola varuma-
enga ooru rasa-pachai satta rasa-gramathu manmatha rasa-ella rasakkum sonthakaarar-RAMARAJAN.
he is the next superstar,i bet.his dialogue delivery and stunts are superb.HIS STUNT SCENE IN "SEARI VARUM KAALAI" WHERE HE BEATS 7 MEN KEEPING THEM IN A ROW .EVEN MTRIX FIGHT IS WASTE BEFORE THIS.

so ,if u r a true fan of ramarajan and his costume ,join this.

hutch dog survives [VIEW FULL POST]

Hutch is now vodafone. There are posters all over the city. I did see a few banners displaying the red logo. I did make out a lot of activity in the hutch shop. Now, the whole hutch is renovated and now it brands a new look. Hands out size posters hanging from the ceiling.

What is more interesting is that the ads keep coming. There are a few ads, which still show the hutch dog. A pug is a very active dog and i thought after the merger, the dog would pass away, To everybody's surprise. the hutch dog , a pug, has survived.

sachin tendulkar - greatest? [VIEW FULL POST]

Sachin tendulkar became the first person in one day international cricket to score 15000 runs. What a feat! Indeed, not many people will not get a chance to achieve this feat, owing to a lot of parameters. First, you have to have a fifteen year career, without much injuries. This requires you to join the national side at a very early age. Secondly, sachin has taken the position of a opener and top order batsmen, during the vast majority of his career.

But the question is, Is he the greatest batsmen in the world. the answer can be a yes. But has sachin played for his country and won matches for India? I would answer that as a NO. He has played more for himself than for India. Most players from the sub continent are like this. Both ganguly and sachin have played more for themselves than for the team.

Look at south African cricket team and learn!!

P.S. - The sharjah coco cola cup is an exception. This tournament is just an exception.

bloglines to google reader [VIEW FULL POST]

I was using bloglines, when i somebody introduced me to google reader. I was not unhappy with my bloglines reader, but it was not a great experience too.

Here is how to transfer your feeds from bloglines to google reader
1. Simple and silly, in fact i don't need these bullets.
Find the Export Subscriptions in the bloglines interface.
You must find this in the bottom of your feeds and under additional features.

2. Save the OPML file to your hard disk, You may like to save this in your desktop.

3. Ope up google reader and import the same. Simple!!!

All this was possible, because we are using a XML like file. Is it why is it really called - Really simple Syndication.

alexa redirect works wonders [VIEW FULL POST]

Here is a small tip on blog stats.

I personally do not like alexa, but with a lot of people on the advertiser side asking for a good alexa rank, i am forced to improve my alexa rank. Why should one have one more rating system when there are already a lot. Too bad. What is more painful is that advertisers have recognized it as a very standard method of measuring blog stats and traffic.

Here are two starters to help improve alexa rank.
1. Download the alexa tool bar. (mozilla firefox also has a version, or is it the otherwise? alexa has built a new toolbar for firefox users.)
2. use alexa redirect. It has improved my alexa ranks personally, greatly, and i am impressed with it.

India world champions [VIEW FULL POST]

It was a classic match, a world cup final. And the battle was between India and Pakistan. And even better, not a very competitive total and the match dragged to the last over. Awesome final! The game was the winner finally. Pakistan found a match winner, who unfortunately could not win the match today.

India crowned world champions, and dhoni has done the right steps at most of the times. India has found a great bowler in RP singh. He is literally bang on target and is swinging the ball with ease.

Manchester prove better [VIEW FULL POST]

It was a clash of the titans, and i missed it. I had some work, which was higher priority than the super match and i missed the match. The first thing i did, when i turned home was to turn to espn. The match was already over.

The next best, go to the epl website. It i s built on ajax and takes up time to load. I opened the site, and i was happy to see Manchester had won the game and had sealed the fate of Chelsea. I still wont call it a victory. The play maker was not there. Jose - thousands of people missed you today.

farewell jose [VIEW FULL POST]

The greatest minds in football will appreciate this man - Jose Mourinho.
He has made a great change to the Chelsea football team. He won the premier league twice. That is quite a great feat to achieve. He also won a few other minor cups, but what is more prominent is that Chelsea was seen as a bigger force, a mighty giant football club, when he was the manger. He addressed a press conference saying that he had quit Chelsea and was not driven out. He was supposed to have been paid roughly some where around $14 million.

Jose 's exit from premier league is a big blow, with Chelsea facing man u on Sunday for this season. His exit is simply a loss to football.

Update : Jose says he will join premier league, some time later..

world cup twenty twenty final [VIEW FULL POST]

Big action set today. What twenty hours of sports it has been..
Saturday saw a huge spectacle of sporting events.
1. Twenty twenty world cup semi final 1
New Zealand against Pakistan. Both big teams, have been performing well in the world cup so far. And so, the stage is all set for a mighty clash. New zealand, who have never won a world cup so far, failed to make it to the semi, after losing to pakistan.

2. World cup twenty twenty semi final 2
this was special, India taking on the world champions, aussies. With yuvraj singh, doing good with the bat and a few hiccups, aussies failed to make it to the finals.

3. SO the stage is all set for the two arch rivals, India and Pakistan final. Awesome!! The match is scheduled on sunday.

4. Barca took on sevilla, on Spanish league, only to seal a nice victory, with messi scoring twice. Sevilla, lost the second consecutive match, after losing to the gunners in the uefa.

5. The big one, the whole world is watching. Manchester united take on Chelsea, later in the evening today.

This makes up the twenty hours of awesome sports action..

immature sreeshanth - "please mature up" [VIEW FULL POST]

boy 1: hhhheee, you are out!!
boy 2: no, I am not out.
boy 1: no, i saw, you are run out. you did not reach in time.
boy 3: Ya, i also saw, you did not reach.
boy 1: no, i reached in time.
boy 4: yes, he reached.
boy 1: no da, i reached in time

This can be just a stupid conversation in a street match. And why is it here? because i guess this is the best place to be for sreeshanth. Not in international cricket.

How can he behave so immature on the field, when he is aware, cricket is religion in India and it is watched by millions of people? This is not aggression, it is just immaturity.

Today, after he took the wicket of HAYDEN, he did not have to do anything or say anything to him. Go, celebrate, ok. But, don't do some eccentric stuff..
Watch a video here of what this eccentric did in south africa..



When yuvraj singh was provoked by freedie flintoff, in the super eight, it was ok. Later in the presentation, he simply did not answer, when asked, what was that which he heard from freedie. This is certainly maturity. But sreeshanth, even in South Africa, in England, it was totally immature behavior. The English have been so gentle that even today, a batsman gets a standing ovation, and the English fielders do not leave the side, before the batsmen cross the ropes. They certainly deserve a good credit and worthy of the "spirit of the game" award.

I don't want to see a stupid immature guy on the field. I don't want to show my middle finger to him, but just say "go, play street cricket.. Lords is not the place for all these."

liverpool vs porto [VIEW FULL POST]

The uefa champions league, started today and eight games were played today. Liverpool were playing against Porto today, and the home side had full support. It was pretty much a ordinary show and the match ended in a draw. One goal each. Milan were up two goals by half time and Chelsea were trailing by a goal at home by half time. This is primarily attributed to the injuries, with a lot of key players missing.

Waiting for match day 2, arsenal play against sevilla. This match is not telecast live. Why? Man U is playing today.

football update [VIEW FULL POST]

It is always the top four teams - man u, arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, who finish the league at the top. There has been little competition for the top four spots, however, there is tremendous competition among the four. Last season saw great play from Chelsea, however a bad start costed them too much.

This time, there are a lot of surprises. believe it? Bolton is at the penultimate position at the table. Goodness me! Reading is just one good. There are going to be a lot of chances, that we see a nail biting finish. City is at the second spot too.

uefa begins - for football fanatics [VIEW FULL POST]

Joy for football fanatics, UEFA champions league is all set to go today. The first day will feature a lot of matches, around Europe and the same number of matches on the next day. This is a more competitive league than even the English and the Spanish league. The second day has a real clash of titans - arsenal play against sevilla, a real pool of talent. Porto also play Liverpool today. Cant wait for the real football. Watch out.

Here is the schedule - uefa website

A SICK DAY - PART 2 [VIEW FULL POST]

If you have not read the first part, click here to read A SICK DAY - PART 1.

I typed "hungrybangalore" in my address bar. It is a very creative website, and it allows you to order food online. It had a drop down to select the time of order. I was worried. I knew that no restaurants would be open now. It is just ten minutes to eleven. No further clicks, i dialed them straight off.

Me: Sorry to call you this late, but i am hungry.
The lady (L): what??
Me: Hungry bangalore?
L : Ya, what can i do for you sir?
Me: I am hungry (i heard a "what a fellow this boy must be" grin )Can i order food somewhere now?
L : You have only two choices - domino's and ..
Me: (Interrupting) Domino's is fine. (Again i heard the grin). I tried calling them, but in vain.
L : No problem. what is your order?
Me: Pizza.
L : what?
Me: I mean, a country pizza (i saw this in the pamplet, i like capsicum much)
L : Medium or large? (How did she know i am a heavy eater)
Me: regular.
...
...
L : Your email address. (the call went on for three minutes)
...
L : You will get a confirmation email. (wtf? I decided, i was going to go hungry)

Five minutes later

Me: Sorry to disturb you again.
L : no, its ok, (i could hear ...)
Me: Did you take my order?
L : ya , i did.
Me: Can you tell me what i ordered? (No, i didnt forget, i just wanted to confirm)
L : a regular country special. Would you like to add anything else?
Me: And i have not got the email yet.
L : I am not sure, if i can process the order, i will confirm and get back.

Another five minutes later. i got a SMS, "Your order is processed.... and more junk". I went to the site again, i wanted to write a review. It was great!! hungry Bangalore is working awesome.

And at around 11:40, the pizza guy came in.
11:43 - Throwed the empty pizza box and tissues into the dustbin. Still hungry.

Should i call hungry Bangalore once more?

A SICK DAY - PART 1 [VIEW FULL POST]

I was sick, totally enervated, and running temperature and what else, but a running nose. I had left office early, and i could not sleep a bit, or sit in front of the comp either. I hate it when i am sick, and of late, it has been happening quite often. There was nobody at home, and i was in my bed, my head resting on two pillows. Besides my was a glucose packet, a strip of crocin, half a strip of vicks action 500, a water bottle, my mobile, the HINDU newspaper, a JSP book (I am preparing for my second sun certification), another book "Developing web services", a Jeffery archer novel, a pen and my hand kerchief in hand.

It was almost half past ten and i did not have the energy to move out for dinner. Most people would not know, but i am a very heavy eater and i can never stand hunger. I just moved to the last page of the HINDU, when this pamplet fell on my thigh, from within the newspaper. It said "HUNGRY KYA??". I was. I took my mobile and rang the number.

Me : Pizza hut?
Other side (o) : Sorry sir, this is domino's
Me : Err, i meant that, can you take an order now?
O : Yes sir, ..
...
...
O : Where are you?
Me: I am in indira nagar
O: Sorry sir, this is brigade road domino's.
Me: oh, Can you give me the number of Indira nagar domino's ?
...

I was very annoyed, when i saw i had spoken for 2:01. Why is that it is happening to me always. Airtel just got richer by three rupees. And i was still hungry.

I rang up the number the pizza guy had given me. Nobody picked up. I was more worried. I got up to sit in front of my comp. JFGI - pizza hut bangalore. Got the number, dialed pizza hut, no response.

I was hungry, tired and i could not go without dinner, after i had taken two tablets. One last try, no response from pizza hut.

I moved up to my inbox to see three "You have won the lottery" emails. SPAM. Clicked the report spam button.

I was just navigating my archives, when i ended up with a old mail. I had booked a table for my birthday party at "BAMBOO SHOOTS", with a email. I thought it was a very nice feature. But that restaurant was no fucking good.

aptech computer education [VIEW FULL POST]

aptech computer education offers technical software courses in the form of java training courses and also from oracle. Aptech software training, is a good or a bad choice depending upon the person taking the course. When there are a lot of training centers,which teach you java, aptech can be one among the best. But for a real software passionate guy, all these courses are quite stupid. Yes stupid.

Aptech training is good or bad? I really don know. They are certified by sun, but they are not sun microsystems. Nor is a employee of sun going to teach you.

Why does somebody have to teach you a course on java? why cant you learn it yourself? In my perspective, attending a training program in java, by spending money out of your own pocket is a stupid waste of money. May be if you are not so passionate about learning java or even software for that matter, you can then go for one such training.

iphone - get $200 back [VIEW FULL POST]

Apple has made some big marketing strategies. Unless you were shut in a room for over half an year, you should know that apple's iphone simply rocked the mobile market. The price tag was a $599 for a 8GB model and a $499 for a 4 GB model.

Now apple has slashed the price of i phoneby a huge bill of $200. The 8GB model is now available at $399. happy news for folks abroad. And the 4 GB model will no longer be in existence.

If you had bought a iphone in the last 14 days, you can get $200 back, from apple, if only if you have the purchase receipt.

www.icici.com [VIEW FULL POST]

www.icici.com is one of the often mis pelt domain names in the country. This is because, icici bank, is very well known for its customer friendliness and its user friendly web sites. Since, a good number of them are connected to the internet, this is a web site which has huge traffic. This name is still unparked and may be you can make a fortune of it. The actual bank site is icicibank.com

Protect your account. Security measures while accessing private and confidential information and accounts on the internet.

1. Never click on a link, which claims to direct you to your bank account.
2. Always use bookmarks, to sign in to your bank accounts online.
3. Ensure that the bookmarked site has the secure protocol stamp - https:// instead of http:, e.g. https://icicibank.com , instead of http://icicibank.com
4. Avoid accessing other websites, when browsing over a secure connection. It is just being too cautious. It is secure anyway.
5. Close the browser tab, once you finish browsing your account.
6. Go for a good browser. Internet Explorer is the least safe and the least standards complaint browser among firefox, safari and opera. In fact, opera is the safest browser.
7. If you are using a public computer (a very bad idea), you must always check for key loggers. Go to task manager and see if any programs are running other than explorer, your browser and other standard processes only.
8. If you are using a public computer, sign in wrongly once and while typing your user name and password, use backspace. A even efficient technique would be to type half the user name, half the password and fill out the rest.
9. In case you are using firefox (i like it), remember to disable greasemonkey.
10. This goes without saying, watch out for peepers - when you type your password or even your user name.

If somebody has any other caution, please pen them down. Thanks.

This post is about karnataka tourism, places to visit in karnataka and banglore aka bangalore. It has been quite a long time since i have been in this silicion city, and i have been quite glued to my workplace. There are a lot of places in karanataka, where you can have a ball of a time. A few good places to visit in bangalore.

Garuda mall:
This is a huge huge shopping mall, placed near M.G. road and is always a battery of shoppers, who are around here. Add to this, there are a lot of bangalore girls and couples here and is a huge attraction for teens in bangalore. There is also a "not so silly" horror house - garuda mall. It is not just for kids and in fact adults can also enjoy it to a great extent.

Forum Bangalore:
This is the numnero uno place in bangalore, for shopping and also for spending time. There are a plethora of shopping malls, and what you need , name it, you will have it. My favorite place in forum mall in bangalore is the the landmark book store. It is a big store and has a awesome collection of all genre of books and more stuff.
