Tata industries......Titanium Factory...

Tata company had planned a titanium factory to be built in tamilnadu.  Good, that is something which is good for the people of that place and also to the government and also for the country....

so said some.   then came the others...

If that factory comes, then many will lose their works and also lives.... those who had one their houses will lose their houses, and other stuff like that.

Ok now i got a question....  Why is it that the government always goes after the Agricultural lands.  why can't they give the company some land which is of no use are not being used for anything useful.  Why is it always after the farmers lands...

Ok fine take the land from the farmers, but why don't u give them the market value of the land instead of the government rate...( the government rate is 10% of market value) 

On the wake of this lets go back to past for the start of this feud.. roughly some 5 years ago, when AIADMK was in power they signed with Tata Industries for this factory and promised land,  and now AIADMK lost power and in came DMK and when that pact which was signed was implemented, now again the then chief minister of AIADMK rule Miss J.jayalalitha, now opposes the construction of the factory... (great politics isn't it?),

In between these arguments between the ruling party and the main opposition party some of the smaller parties have come up with some solutions which are worth listening or atleast giving a try i think..

The first was by Supreme star Sarath kumar.  He is one of the actor turned politicians.  He formed a group of lawyers and common people and asked them collect some background info about what would happen if the factory comes up, and also to go the people of the areas which were being planned to be acquired, and get the views of the people...and then further proceed with whatever we can based on these data......   I think this is a good idea, and seems the government is gonna try these, i read in papers today morning that Karunanidhi was talking about doing this.( the government is always late, similar to the Tamil cinema police).

The second one was by Captain Vijayakanth.  He is also a actor turned politician.  What he suggested was something interesting.  May be a good solution if they are really short of time.  ( this is my view, and i am in no way endorsing or following vijayakanth).  He puts forth these points.

• Give the farmers the market value for their lands which the government acquires.
• Promise of employment in the factory for atleast one member of the family from which they acquire lands.
• Giving the farmers a part of ownership of the factory(this seems really cool, but since these ppl don't know the business tactics, it can't be said to be a safe thing for the farmers)
• Training them so that they can work in the work ( so that the company cannot reject them that they don't know how to work...)

I forgot the rest.  But these seem cool.  But still first the voice of the people have to be known and recorded then the rest can be done easily...   Since it has been decided that the factory is going to come, i wish that they make the damage to the society and environment to the minimum... and also make sure no body gets affected because of the coming of a factory there...

wat da ya think?...

English.....

Englishman: We fucked ur motherland for over Hundred and Fifty years.
Indian: O!, Ok, We will fuck ur mother tongue till the end of time.

 

Well, yesterday at Inox, when we were in the **** ****, to eat something (coz Satish was feeling very hungry...)  we say a guy talking to the shop boy in English.  the thing is he was talking very funny.  i mean, he was not talking properly.  the sentences were poorly formed.  One foreigner, ( i think he is from out of India) who overheard the conversation just like us was making fun of him to his girlfriend (ok, it can also be his wife or even his colleague or even his sister)..   But the next astonishing thing was that the boy in the shop ( i think he wouldn't have crossed 10th in school) talked such good English. After the guy went away from that stall, i approached for buying something and just engaged in conversation with that boy and got some details, and i was right.  He has finished only 8th and has been working since then...  He was just disappointed with the people behaving like this. He shared the same thought as me, 

if you don't know something, don't do it...

i would not say i am good in english.  but i would never use it unless i have no other choice.  at the moment, when the foreigner made joke of that guy, the above joke came to my mind...   

I thought i would share this with incident with you

LiVe fReE oR diE HArD..... Die Hard 4.0

 

At last the day and time arrived..  satish came to my house in his safari at around 5 pm,...  we reached there at nearly  5:30, it was just half hour drive,(actually there was no traffic...,  we went to the box office and collected our tickets which we had booked online...  Then still there was more than 0ne and a half hours left..  so we decided to take a tour of the City center.  Actually the Inox theaters were located inside the city center...  The theater was in the 3rd floor...  We then went another floor up and found the funzone...we entered ,,  satish wanted to play the car and bike games we went in and bought a card and went to play the bike one, which was similar to need for speed but in Most anted mode...  But when we swiped the card the system said that it was out of function..  the car games too said the same.. then we went to play the basketball, both of us taking alterante turns.  we scored 40 tickets each and went to claim our prizes...  i took a tweety hang up and he took one of the three pigs hang up.  then we headed to the theater.

 

The theater was cool.  real nice.  the stairs  had lighting on them with the seat rows in the light,  so finding the seat in darkness was never going to be a problem.  we got out selves some popcorn (it is not some actually a large tub) and two soft drinks for 150 bucks...  then the movie stated.  I don't want to say anything about the movie, go to the theater or buy yourself a DVD and watch it.  it is worth it.  i am just waiting for getting my hands on the DVD... 

Bruce Willis is old and the fight scenes have been done keeping that in mind.  But it is the same old john McClane.  man who can stop this one man.  The villain was never afraid of anything other than McClane in the film.  But unlike the other films in this one there is less rambling from John than in the past 3 films. 

It takes you back to the days of the original Die Hard and yes this film is really worth watching.  Bruce rox.   just make sure you have lots of popcorn and phones switched off and no ones gonna disturb u......

 

well... is there a fifth installment?  i wish they make it!...

Suresh's Hard drive.....

I had promised mr suresh that i will some how copy the his songs without virus. and so i set out to do that yesterday morning. I opened my system and connected the hdd. It was so dirty inside that even i could not stand it. so i cleaned my system and booted up.. though the HDD showed up in bios, it did not come up in Linux or in windows... But after some tweaking and refreshing my memory ( my brain and the system memory) for all sorts of related things... i remembered that i had to configure the master and slave properly with jumper settings which i had not done. Then quickly rearranged the jumpers of my DVD writer and the HDD and then the drive showed up in both windows and Linux.. i did not want to risk in windows, coz it is already broken and i am not in a situation to sit and play with it all day, for i have to return the drive to suresh atleast by afternoon and then get ready to go to a movie...

So i moved to Linux and copied all the songs and data requested by suresh.... ran a scan on them and called him up and said that everything is ready and he can come and take his drive and also that if he can get a blank DVD he can also take a copy of his data...

he came at 2pm and took his data.. well that was it. see what can happen if u stop practicing what U like and love. no if it is this situation for the loved work then what will happen if it is for a .....

Die Hard 4.0... An update....

Ok booked the tickets today afternoon.

Me and satishkumar are going to Inox on sunday to watch this film.

The show is at 7:15 pm...

this stupid guy (satish) was caught going thru the one way in the wrong direction and his license was taken away by the police.  He was asked to get it from the local municipal court on monday, so which means he can't legally ride a bike till he gets back his license.  so wat, who cares,  i don't care, we are going to Inox in a bike for the movie.. 

somebody stop us...(if u really dare.....)

The most blogs in a month

The most blogs that i have made in a month is 26 which i did in august '05 may be i will topple that this month.  this is the 23rd posting this month, just 4 more to go.  and just 4 days left.. 

i am not some one who is a great writer, or for the matter, nothing even happens in my life or i don't even think something different or something notable to write other than the fights/ duels with my parents and some ranting's just about  me..  so something happening so frequently in my life just happens rarely and that is what the number of posts per month indicate...

Apocalypto....... A Review...

 

Ok, another Mel Gibson film, so what?

well this was good, not like passion of the Christ, though...

this was a film based on some history and nearly half of the facts are right and half wrong...

The film begins with these lines..

A great civilization is not conquered from without until it is destroyed from within.     "

—W. Durant

Well to say the truth (considering this as a film and not something which depicts history sequences or anything like that.  Consider this just as a story ok..) Mel Gibson has done a fantastic thing in making this film.  The survival, the chase ( which i think) is the highlight of the movie and also the interesting part of the movie.  when the chase ends the movie is just 5 min's from ending..  The acting is good, and story ( i remind u, this i consider as just a story and not a historical depiction of the Mayan civilization) is good. 

you got to see the acting.  When Flint Sky(the hero's father), ( don't know the real name.  do a Google or check wikipedia) asks his son not to be afraid when he is executed in front of his son jaguar paw(the hero).  and also the scene when the seven (jaguar paw's wife) and turtles run ( jaguar paw's son) are left trapped in a small pit and a raider goes near it  to check his dead colleague.  ya got to see their expressions..  The human sacrifice scene and the scene when Jaguar Paw confronts Zero Wolf, the waterfall jump, everything is so beautiful...

Particularly the chase requires a special mention, coz the forest is the location where this happens (for the matter the entire film takes place in the forest..)  just keeps you at the edge of the seat...

A must see if u wanna see it just as a movie and nothing else....

 

The depiction of the Mayans is a bit too awe... i mean it doesn't seem real..  the human sacrifice practice, yes it existed in the civilization, but showing them as people obsessed with that practice it a bit too much....  Also it is shown as though the solar eclipse was unexpected,  but you see, the Mayans were very good in astrology and should have been expecting a eclipse instead of being surprised to see it happen, as depicted in the film...

well all said,  don't see this movie to learn about Mayan civilization..., don't see to believe that Mayans were like that... or for the matter of fact even the timing of the period when the movie takes place..   see it for Mel Gibson, see it for the acting, see it for story... see it for the human's clash.. human's behavior blah blah!!!..........

Will u marry me?.....

 

Yesterday, Viji called.  nothing special or something just the usual trash talk. during the course of our talking the topic shifted to family, boyfriends, girl friends, marriage,.....  suddenly she asked, "unakku yeppada kalyanam" (when is your marriage?).  Funny, it had been nearly 5 years (it was in 2002) since this question was first asked to me, and i am still saying the same answer.  yes i said the same answer, though she is the third one among my college mates to whom i have said this answer. 

wanna know what the answer was?

I will marry the girl, who comes to me and says "I Love U! will you marry me?"

so am still waiting.  anybody out there?!!!!!!

About Me....

 

Here's a guy from yonder
Don't get too close....
cause I could be the one
to hurt you the most.
I'm so cold.
she's left me battered and
broken....
If you come too close my
sharp edges just might
slice you too...

i am cold like hell...
Scared of living …yet afraid to die
Scars of dark red on my heart make you cry...
A damaged sin…an innocent dream
A bizarre minded word
From my black painted soul
Screaming your pain out
Deep and dangerous like darkness...
I'm like the cigarette you are inhaling;
so good to the taste but
so bad by the end of the race..

i may be dangerous still...
I'll win,
for I am the one who will not stop,
I'll keep it going with myself at the top.

I'll guide you like fear...
I won't let you go.
Mind you..Loving me
Is Dangerous....

You might think I'm a little bit crazy
Could be but you'll never know for sure...

I'm a thousand reasons to be cautious
and a thousand more to be brave...
Told you, I'm dangerous....

 

it looked nice so i copied from some profile in orkut.

Love to walk in the rain..

I'm standing here
The water drips,
down my face
onto my neck

Mascara runs
Blush fades away
Look, you'll see-
It's really me

I'm standing here
In pouring rain
Don't join me now-
You won't understand

This feeling's pure
Soon it'll fade away,
when the sun comes out,
and drys away the day

You're looking out your blinds
But you still don't see-
You don't see pass this storm
You look right through my eyes

This rain is cold
I love the chill
I'll wait again-
For my next walk in the rain...

Picking up my dad...

 

Today i was woken up early in the morning, by my dad's call.  He called me up to ask me to come to station to pick him up.  It was as early as 6(see it is early morning these days) in the morning. i got up and left half heartedly leaving the sleep.  But i did reach the spot earlier, much earlier, i shot a couple of pics.  But as i was waiting there i was taken back in memory of the school days when i used to get up early go to tuition, going to cricket camp, or just that ncc practise, or whatever it was,  it was fun, i am missing all of em these days, waking up daily around 6:30, getting ready running to office.  It is not that fun though.  the sky was beautiful, the trees swaying to the gentle breeze, the hazzy sunlight, half dark, half light, the coffee, everything that time was beautiful..  i seem to be missing everything these days.  But still why i'm not ready to getting up early.  why all these beautiful sights are not thrilling me to get up.  or is there something  else overwhelming that this  which is preventing me from waking up...?

Acer Suresh...

 

Mr suresh, had bought a new system,only the CPU box and keyboard and mouse.  a darn good one, but little old one i say. nearly it was made 2005 end, i suppose.  but i did not say him that.  the thing is it will surely get his work done, why unnecessarily  make a big fuss about it.  Gone there to install it this Sunday. installed Windows Xp and Office and VS 2005.  tried to persuade him to install Linux, but he refused. felt a little bad about it.  but hwy, who cares as long as i can be called to install something. 

 

and u know what the mouse he has is signed by Hrithik Roshan.  Damn....

Manju Kumari....

 

Friday was just as usual only i was a bit not normal, i don't remember why!  on the evening i saw Animatrix was nice. it is like a prequel and in between scenes of the Matrix trilogy.  then Manju called suddenly!  remember her, the ganguly fan, the one who worked with me in NIIT as career counselor.  Aah!  now u remember!  well yes she called up, said she was coming to chennai.  she is coming to take her mother with her to lucknow. it has been a year i suppose, since i met her last, i think i saw her when i came down with the broken leg, i don't remember seeing her then, but i still have the memory of meeting her the last time before leaving for delhi,.  that was the last time i saw her, coz when i came down with fracture here she called saying she is going to lucknow and if possible will come and see and i told i am in chennai.  and when i was leaving to delhi back again i called her and she told she is coming back to chennai.  then again when i left the job in agra and was about to return to chennai she called up saying she has got a job in niit in lucknow and she is now there.  see all these time we were unable to see each other.  she will be coming any time this week.  I hope this time we will meet.

Konfuzzed

yes i am confused, wat am i doing here, i am just as lazy as i would have been if i had been home, except for the TV there which is not here.  I ain' doing anything here.  Well is that what i am getting paid for.  like as any other would say "who cares as long as u are being paid for doing nothing",  but it just doesn't seem right u know, you gotta work atleast something for what we are being paid,

but wait why am i making such a fuss about this here, it is just this one day when i am jobless,

See that is it, the very me, see i can't keep quiet doing nothing even for a little time.  see that is the problem,

so what am i to do?

who knows!?!!!

Well, somebody should know?

who is that damn somebody it is certainly no me...

ya it ain' me either.

wait a minute who am i talking to!!! 

yourself you dummy!!

see i told u something happened to me right, see i am talking to myself, god what is happening? 

wait a minute you are never supposed to talk to god, you don't believe him right?  then why the hell you calling him?

hold on! what the, what is, shit.

i think i will go out and come later.

Group by......

disclaimer: this post is not an explanation of the SQL 'group by' clause....

yesterday balaji gave some reporting work. ok fine i understood wat he said at the beginning (actually i was wrong), and went on and finished the work.  Well, so i thought, when i showed him, he pointed out where i had missed, and asked me to make it right.  Man was it difficult, actually it wasn't difficult my illiteracy  was the problem there.  Coz, i still don't know what can be and what cannot be done with this damn tool.  as i(we(vimla)) was(were) pondering over the solution,  we found something called Group Row.. this seemed interesting, and upon questioning, we got the answer that it was indeed what we have to use.  But on reading tutorial and also applying in examples, we could not understand, i was still not sure, that, if i had to use it, on where(which column) to use it.  today morning, ASA i woke, that would be some half hour back, it simply struck me, that it can be applied on the common column. yippee, yeah, hurray, damn it....

What the, the common column was never retrieved to the dataset. now what to do??????, I'm still pondering.....  Well at least i could write it down so i could go office and go thru this even if i forget. 

Damn, i just wasted half hour thinking abt work.!!!

first time in a bar.......

Saturday i went to Mr, Suresh's house for troubleshooting his system.  wasn't a sweat though.  later when i was returning home, i was waiting for bus in madipakkam, there i met Jeyanthon.  He offered to drop me at home.

 

On the way he went to have drinks.  he took me to a bar.  this is the first time i am going to such a bar....  i mean the local bar... i have been to pubs and bars in many hotels but a bar like this one, this is the first.  I would like to remind u that i am not a drinker.  i just went in there to talk with him that's all.  Sitting in a bar is no offense i suppose.....  well it was interesting though.  the sight of it.(i tried to capture a pic with my mobile bu i was prevented).  the people there everything was interesting.   There was a guy singing, yes the way he sang was quite nice, but without music, but sure it was good, the words, the rhyming and the music that he produced by tapping and hitting the table was really nice....  and funny  too....   well that was it, after some hour and half, we left. he dropped me in my house and left.

 

Later yesterday (Sunday) i saw the movie Company, which was RGV(Ram Gopal Verma)  i had already seen this movie, still i wanted to see this.  it was so ...  i just don't know to express it, i was just lost in the movie.  i saw it for the 12th time yesterday.  it is about the underworld..   well then it was nothing more.    the joy ride ended with the movie. and i returned to my normal life...

It's my life......

Come on, i am just fed up with all these indirect remarks or me and being compared. 

Well, what is it if i am like this,

wat is it if i am computer junkie, 

if i do not know the city well,

if i don't move with groups.

 fine, that is how i am, and please leave me alone,

I just can't become somebody else just because u want me to.

I am what i am

and therefore

I am dangerous

Quick decisions

just thought of writing it down,

sometimes quick decisions may be wrong.

Work found me...

they put me in a project.  buhu, buhu, buhu(crying)

Fedora 7

 

At last i installed Fedora 7 day before yesterday.  It was really cool, and really better than 6 and equal to 5 at first view.  Though the installation was fast, most of the common things did not get installed like xmms and k3b.  Well that wasn't a big problem, everything was fixed, downloaded and installed, even with mp3 support, and guess what i even got some 3gp convertors for linux, which i am still unable to get it for windows, and they say linux is way far behind in video convertors and editors.  but see what happened in my case!,  but yeah still i could not figure out how to use it, anyway eventually i will figure it out.  that won't be a problem. 

i installed mono and vlc, and mplayer and also mencoder.  got to check eveything out, maybe after i go home today.

Well anyway i just finished the demo project given to me.   and so sitting without any work.  thought i would write some thing.

Movie Compatibility Test Results

	My Flixster

Rafa Vs Roger an Update...

Well my hopes did crash.  Though Rafa pushed Roger to him limits still Roger won the title for the 5th time this year.  Truly he is the King of Grass.

 

and tried to upload the photos here in the albums section, but some problem couldn't upload,  come on support the Firefox if you want me here.

so i uploaded the pics in Picassa

go here to see the pics

Rafa Vs Roger

The wimbledon tennis finals is happening as i write, between King of Grass and the King of Clay, hope Rafa wins this.  Coz if just one guy rules the court the game will loose its shine, someone needs to challenge him, and Rafa is back again to do it, this Jan i missed to watch him, but next i won't.  I will be there to watch every match of him. 

But, just coz i want Rafa to win doesn't mean i am big fan of him or for the matter i don't even hate Roger, they are masters of the game in different conditions and courts.  For the matter i am not even a fan of any one, not even a single person i can identify to be as a fan.  I don't know why, but i watch them play i laugh with them, in every match i take sides, i cry for them, But as it is it is just a game and they are players, today he is there tomorrow someone else will. i don't know why i am so detached with everything not only sports but from everything. 

Like as though they are just something passing.  Why am i not like everyone else who follows or worships some one or the other.  Why don't i take sides or even go the distance to defend some one is better than other.  who knows.  But hey i think i wrote abt my new mob.  right.  Last friday i shot some pics. and i will be uploading them soon.  Well anyway hope rafa wins.

Theme Hack

for the last 2 days i had been hacking the theme to be applied for a demo project.  it was work alright.  But it seemed so that some part of me was happy to do it.  while another part seemed to be afraid of seeming to go back to the yesteryears when i used to do things similar to this everyday.  Wat does this mean i am beginning to like this software work than the Engineering Technical field.  who knows, when the time comes many will know.

Motorokr E6, Nikil Chinnappa....

Hey yo, i got a new Motorokr E6 mobile.  this thing is cool.  well more on that later after some days of using that.  ok.

 

Well today i read some column on lifestyles on msn by that my favourite MTV VJ Nikil Chinnappa, man wat was it, he was saying some thing about how women and men behave abotut a fight between his friend and her boyfriend.  and everything started because of some 30 seconds advertisement in the idiot box,  as he puts it in the end

"A commercial. That's where this came from. 30 seconds of advertising drivel on the idiot tube. 30 minutes of mental agony for my friend and me.

Women (and God) really do work in wondrous ways."

it was really hilarious.

wanna have a full look at it then check it out @ here

Bad shoes, Theme Design......

well well well,  Seems i had made a mistake today.  well for the past 2 days it was a bit busy in office.  doing this and that, yesterday balaji asked me to redesign the theme for the demo, and here i am still trying to convert the color of the that one bar which is escaping all my attacks.  what can i do.  Today i am wearing the NCC Boots, damn them they are hurting my legs a lot, especially the second finger after the thumb.  that second finger of mine is a bit different with a kinda bend in it, and that is causing problems.  wel, it is boring and i don't know, what am i doing or wat I'm gonna do.  yesterday read a blog of rohit.  it was good.  Man wish i could write things like that.  I just ramble and ramble and sleep. nothing more.

 

And VeeraLakshmi has got to engaged to someone called Prabhu, Who cares!
