He is back

Ajith is back with his neat performance at asal.. The film does not have a great plot and all. It is very much an ordinary story.. The film spans only for 130 minutes.. Ordinary songs.. Poor dance.. The efforts of sameera in "kudhiraiku theriyum" song goes in vain, as ajith spoils the song... Also, "totatoing" will please only the die-hard thala fans.. For others,it will be irritating.. Only the intro song is watchable...The ajith hailing dialogues irritates at times.. Ajith smiles only once in the movie...

Still , his style and neat show makes the movie watchable...
Ajith really has some originality in him, unlike the thalapathies...

Love to read

The last 20 days had it all. I have started thinking of me much.. My IAS aspirations,my future, my dream car,placements,my school life,my evenings at home watching WWE,my first day in hostel, the most inspiring people in my life, the days when i sat infront of tv, hearing Harsha bhogle , Gavaskar , Geoffrey Boycott and Ravi Shastri.... What am I going to do for my country? What am I going to do for my society? Why should I waste my engineering degree? Why cant I be polite to all? Why people like me? Why people dont like me? What people expect from me? How my life would be when I have a sibling? How many people really care for me? For how many people I care honestly? How many lies speak in a day?

This is mind blowing..

I really have nothing to worry for.. The almighty is so kind to me in blessing me with good parents,a beautiful country and its loving people.. So many friends I have.. From my parents and grandparents to naveen(t) to gowtham to sabari to gnyanandha reddy(where are you?) to ramamurthy to deepak to ramakrishnan to prashanth to the vigneshs to prasanna to vinoth to santhosh to karthik to barathwaj to vivek to krishna to anand to sp to manibarathi to naveen(v,e) to tamil to vivek to jayaram to gopi to manikandan to radhika to shivakumar to sathish to shalimar to all hostelmates,classmates and schoolmates....( I cant type all of you names! Bear with me)... The list goes on and on and on... These days in CEG hostels are turning out to be a heaven in disguise.. The unbelievable fun we are having here is never going to come back to anyone of us..

How beautiful human life is? How many people I have crossed in my life? How fortunate I am by my birth? WOW!!

Let me come out of all my so called silly problems, and wish you all a very happy valentine's day!!

Love you all!!!

Pic details: Prof. Bjarne Stroustrup , developer of c++ programming language..
Venue : CSE dept. seminar hall, CEG

Date:20/1/2010

Time: 1900 to 2025 [ This professor was too too punctual]

This pic answers everyone about what kurukshetra 10 is all about.. Pucca organisation...

It is not that easy to get UNESCO patronage , and we CEGians take pride in doing justice to each and every word in the main poster of K'10..

The day 0 of the event is better,bigger and more promising than that of previous year.. Till yesterday night, I was arguing that this edition will not be a big success.. Now , I happily reverse my very own words.. The schedule card is more exciting than that of the previous year... Events like "snap" and "treasure hunt" are new introductions and promises to be very innovative... Lectures and workshops will definitely be better than previous edition, and already the "robocrab" workshop today is said to have pulled around 225 participants...

Through K, the student community of CEG sends a strong signal to everyone...
"TEAM WORK WORKS"..

Only the hostelers in chennai-25 will realise the significance of the last sentence....

History Unheralded

India is also affected by second world war!!

This statement would look absurd and most of you would not believe even after finish reading this post.. Ask someone who lived from 1942 to 1945.. They will know the impact of the war.. I am writing this post based on the experiences of my grandparents during their schooling days and this is not fictitious...

The famous 3 siren alarming system was hugely in practice in the major cities of British India.. 3 sirens will be sounded everyday , as a part of creating awareness among the general public, and it was as a part of the wartime training.. During the first siren , all the people walking on the road are supposed to find out the pits.. Such man-hole like pits were dug all along the main roads,as a measure to protect the citizens from Japanese aircrafts.. On hearing the second siren, everyone should hide themselves in the pit and on the third siren , all can come out of the pit, and can proceed with their routines..

The nazi swasthika symbols were supposed to be painted atop the high buildings and towers , to deceive the aircrafts that the place was captured by germans.. The famous Srivalliputhur temple gopuram is said to be painted with a swasthika at its top, which was visible from the planes...

These were the measures taken by the British Government on the wake of minor shelling at vishakapatnam and madras....

I am searching for books which has recorded India during the war time.. If anyone comes across sucha book accidentally , please inform me!!!

Time to look back

It is time for reviews of the year in blogs and media all over the world , and it won't be fair on my part not to look back at the year , which is declared as the most peaceful year in the history of jammu and kashmir since independence.. The year 2009 will be remembered for many reasons , but there are some things which we cannot forget very easily..

Barack Hussain Obama rewrote history in his own style.. Michael Jackson's mysterious death and A.R.Rahman's "jai ho" took the music world by storm.. Liberated Tigers of Tamil Ealam and Velupillai Prabhakaran were in news for half of the year.. Election comission of India successfully conducted world's largest elections ever, and Dr.Manmohan singh became only the second Indian Prime Minister to retain his chair at 7 RCR after a full term.. Rahul gandhi shocked Indian politics with his U.P. heroics..

Tamil nadu got its first deputy chief minister , and power cuts were at its peak.. Muthukumaran literally forced the state government to shut down all the colleges for a week.. Andhra lost YSR.. Telengana issue is still a burning issue there.. Maharashtra , Andhra pradesh , Jharkand were among the states which went to assembly elections..

Indian cricket had a very ordinary year with losses in Champion's trophy , World T20 and the home series against Australia... The only good news was receiving the ICC test championship mace..

Tamil cinema lost Nagesh.. No thalaivar movies and no maniratnam movies this year and for the year which started with "villu" and ended with "vetaikaran" , the likes of "nadodigal" and "pasanga" came as a relief..

Overall, 2009 was more eventful and , for India it was more peaceful than 2008..

Ameti vs Ahmedabad

With the news of Advani stepping down and Kalaignar's desire to be "one among the people" doing rounds in media , its time for the reporters and historians to sketch articles hailing them as crusaders of indian politics.. It has to be accepted that , both these men revolutionised Indian politics.. It was Advani's astute politics which laid the foundation for India getting an excellent prime minister.. No one can match Karunanidhi's political experience and he is among the most astute politicians the country has ever seen.. They may not be liked by everyone...But , they deserve a farewell , and this is time for political parties to shift gears and to pass on the baton to the next generation.. This is the impact a young politician like Rahul gandhi can impose on Indian politics..

Those who laugh at me when i say it will be Rahul vs Modi at 2014 , here is yet another reason why Modi is a very good administrator..A couple of days back , Gujarat assembly passed a bill making voting mandatory.. This is definitely a path breaking move and brings the much needed relief and hope for Indian democracy which is plagued by caste politics and violence..The policy makers at delhi sould learn lessons from this man , and should pass an ordinance immediately to ensure that democracy survive...

Clearly , Modi and Rahul will dictate terms at Delhi atleast for the next 10 years...So please start observing these two men... I will write about these two men again in this same blog by december 2019..

STRIVE NOT TO STARVE

We are speaking much about gdp,growth rate,recession,poverty,unemployment,globalisation,liberalisation..Too much of noise is being made at lok sabha about the liberhan commission.. Even after the prime minister magnanimously apologised for a mp's remark on vajpayee , the opposition benches are still shouting at the well of the house.. Resolution is passed congratulating the Indian cricket team.. I am very much worried whether our representatives really have atleast the slightest care for us..

In the last 10 years, I myself has seen the disappearance of farm lands and grazing lands.. The farmer near our house has sold 60% of his land.. And his agricultural fields, which were once watered by the chill water from the "pumpsets" have now turned into concrete streets and stagnant drainages.. I cannot see the tall coconut trees which once served as our boundary lines, anymore..

This is not the case with my area or my town alone.. The farm lands in all the three tier cities of our nation is fast disappearing... The main reason for this is the poor returns which the farmers get.. A farmer has to work for 3 to 4 months to raise a crop.. He has to pay wages to the labourers, pay for transportation and the find market.. The profit which a farmer gets is very very less when we consider the efforts which he puts in..

The next big issue is the disappearance of grazing lands.. Due to the real estate industry, each and every piece of land is turned into a plot.. Cows dont have any land left to graze for.. The recent rise in the milk price is an alarming indication..Adding to these miseries is the rise in price of pesticides and fodder for cattle..If this continues, we would have to import rice,wheat and milk powder from abroad.. It is absolutely impossible to import food stuffs for 110 million people..

The "manbumigu" representatives must push liberhans and politics aside, and take necessary steps to ensure that india is self sufficient to feed itself.. Else , 20 years from now on,we would die of starvation..
