LIVE THE DREAM

I hate Wednesday's

2009-11-26T19:58:00.001+05:30

After a joyful journey in train i stepped into the campus .The security as expected gave a scrutinizing look and there was a long queue waiting outside the campus.After some initial verification of some documents we were let into the most populous campus in india.It took us another quarter hour before i was alloted my room.When i stepped into the room i was simply astounded.For a monthly rent of Rs 3250 i had expected much less.But as i heard stories from others i was taken aback by infosys hospitality.
Since it was the first day in the campus i and my friends went around the campus to know more about the facilities that infosys provides to his employees.The next 2 days we had induction and i felt the real meaning of corporate life.The day begin at 8 in the morning and ended at 7 in the night with an hour of lunch break in the middle.By the time i had come out of the multiplex(where induction took place) i was damn tired and went to room and sleep.
Though the first two days had worn me out i enjoyed it ,because we din't want to study or any study related activities.All those were spoiled on the 3rd day of induction when came a guy from E & R.
The next one hour he spoke the whole auditorium which comprised of about 1200 new trainees with dreams in their hearts were in silence .The silence was not caused by the ascendancy he had but because of the power of the content he had spoken.His presentation contained reiteration of only one thing-what are the situation when you will face the exit and be given a pink slip by the company.The phrase he used to convey was "You have hit the balloon".And in the presentation the ballon he spoke aboy was in red colour which signified only one thing-danger.
The other point he reiterated was except during the ILI(Infosys Leadership Institute) sessions you will be in GEC(Global Education Center) around 18 hours a day.This caused a stir among the trainees.The presentation of his had blown out some of the confidence i had in myself and his presentation pojected only one thing as if all of us are destined to be thrown out of infosys rather than work in there.
Once he completed his presentation and started the Q & A session no one had asked any questions because his presenation was equivocal that no one had a doubt in their minds.Even the over enthusiastic guys had been shunned to silence.The time had come to contrive a plan and come out of what is going to be a stressful life with flying colours.
But as this blog topic suggests the following wedenesday's doomed to be no different and the terror that this wednesday had caused and following wednesdays caused made me hate that day in a week and i was just wishing how good it would be if there was no wednesdays atleast in the month of june.

The Corporate Shift

2009-11-24T08:53:00.000+05:30

A 15 day gap was the time i was given to shift from a ebullient college life to a nerve-racking corporate life.So i had decided to have a blast because we never know will we be having those joyful moments once again in the life.So i saw as much movies as possible and tried to complete seeing all the tv series that were pending to watch.When i was having one of those joyful moments ,came a blow in e-mail from infy that no laptops will be allowed inside the campus.My heart sank because my beautiful mac has to be powerd off in my house and has to be in a dungeon for atleast 6 months.
Anyways this was just a start.There were a series of blows to come when i enter the campus.The date of joining was nearing and the presure never seemed to alleviate.It was heard that infosys had stringent training policies and if we are not going to satisfy it we will be given what every software engineer dreads of -a pink slip.News was coming from all over of how to prepare for the training and how to crack it.It was as though i was preapring myself for cracking some iit or cat exam.
Added to those pressure was the pressure from relatives.They were all saying the stories of how their neighbours or sons/daughters had cleared the training.At that time only i learnt there were many people in my family who are in infosys and the news was that everyone had cracked it.So i ahd no other go but to clear the training.This is the main problem in families because you alone do not lose respect when you are failing in exams but your parents also lose respect in the relatives circle and the neigbours circle.So there is only one option for me -Clear the training.
These wre the burdens i have to carry in my heart befor i step into that wonderful campus of Infosys Mysore which i had only seen in pics in my computer till June 6,2009.
But once i stepped into the campus isaw there is more to come.The first thing one you notice there is a dress code that has to be followed once you enetr into corporate world.And that dresscode is only applicable to guys and not for the girls.You have to wear full sleeves formal shirts,formal pants(no those 3/4ths), a tie and shining shoes whose colour has to match the belt you are wearing and most importantly washed socks.You can no more wear those stinking socks which we wah once in a month or fortnight.The shirts and pants should be neatly ironed.There was one respite however ,you can come in casuals on fridays and weekends.But for girls they have to wear decent dresses(though most of them din't follow that also) and no shoes for them. The bias really kills me.Why for girls alone?
You have to walk only in pavements inside the campus and not on roads and have to follow queues in food courts.And for the first time in life all these rules and restrictions seemed alien to many of those in campus.The first week in campus was no more different and the most feared news that we were not willing to hear came on the 4th day we entered the campus.

3 mistakes of my college life

2009-11-21T17:27:00.000+05:30

It has been an exciting 6 months in infy.So i thought to write how the past 6 months had shaped in my life.Before i write about the last 6 months i am writing about the apprehensiveness that has surrounded me before entering into corporate life.
The cause of this apprehensiveness is that 3 mistakes i made in my college life.

1.Programming which i had never done on my own.
2.Always relying on friends.
3.Friend's circle.

Programming which i had never done on my own:
Programming was never my cup of tea and the i had never done programs on my own in my college life.So i had always thought it would be difficult to be cope up in corporate life where for the first two years at least you have to be in coding cadre.so i had a fear in my mind when i come out of my college whether i would be able to comes up thumbs up in corporate life.

Always relying on friends:
The second mistake was that i had always relied on my friends in my college and never did anything on my own except writing my exams.I would always be looking for some help of my friends to give the finishing touches of my work.But in corporate life it's every man for his himself because in this recession time it was survival of the fittest.

Friends circle:
The life of every individual shapes in the way how his friend's circle is.This is because we spend most of our secondary school and college life with our friends.

And swami vivekananda had said "tell me about your friend i will tell about you".Even sawmiji would have failed in prdeicting me if i had told about my friends

So it is always better to have a good friend's circle to come up in my life.I was fortunate to have a very good friends circle life.Who would not be happy if you had 2 friends who are scholarship holders 2 more who were just missing the scholarship by 2 percentage or so and you just hoping to clear the exams.
When you are with those kinds of your friends who really enjoy in class and do all the hard work in your home and you enjoy both in class and home you would never win anything and have to face a lot of criticism in your life.I faced my first during my sixth semester .At that time i realized it is not only great to have good friends but also to be like them where in i failed miserably.
Many teachers called me "odd man out of that group" and to write in technical terms i was an "Exception".

College Day Function

2009-04-18T13:22:00.003+05:30

And finally it was time for the college day function,for which we had waited from morning.The main auditorium was filled with the fourth years to celebrate what would be our last college day.In IT the fun had already started with holi powder being cast at everyone's faces.As usual we took our places in the last but second row of the auditorium.the function did not start till 5 30 p.m,though it was said the function would begin sharply at 4.30 p.m.
On this day alone no one(including staff) from college can go out so that the college can show some count to the arriving chief guest.So the 1st,2nd and 3rd years were also spending time among the frantic four years.
I got head ache by the time the function had started.The function was pretty boring at the start and when the chief guest had the mike some of them had already dozed off.The chief guest started his speech at around 5.50 p.m and i went to sleep at 6 p.m.When my friend woke me up at 6 .15 ,the auditorium which was full was now just 3 quarters full.Even the staff could not bear his speech and started coming to the rear end of the auditorium.
We students started clapping but that man had no intention of stopping and finally at around 6.30 he completed his speech.Then the prize distribution ceremony had started and by this time the auditorium was only filled with fourth years and some prize winning juniors.
Karthi,joseph,Kavin had gone to the front end of auditorium to capture the image of lokesh getting prize from the chief guest and we chanted his famous words"Pocha" when he recieved the prize.Karmegam,Roya(Anand.V),Adidas (Dinesh Kumar),asif also received their prizes for their service during instincts.
My head ache got from bad to worse this time and no body was willing to go out of the auditorium as the cultural show was about to begin after prize distribution.Meanwhile bala,fluffy,maddy were taking photographs with medal recieved by lokesh.Luckily for me lokesh also had headache and he also wanted to move out.Harish had asked me and him to stay for enjoying culturals.But we were in no mood for it and i already with my head ache at peak yelled at harish and we moved out of the auditorium.Kani too joined us.
Then we had coffee in stores and head ache slowly started to wore off.Kani asked us to go to the auditorium.After recollecting some old golden moments of 12th we came to the auditorium.By this time even the "eee' guys started casting hoi powder.When we went to the auditorium it was like some sort of disco party going on with all of them dancing.I and lokesh caught a place and sat down because of our head ache.With just a song remaining i and lokesh were asked to come and dance just a few steps and when we regretted we were pulled into the stands.At last we performed some dance movements and the college day came to close.
Since it was our last year the fourth years alone were asked to come up the stage and dance and when we were done with it we finally began to feel the pain the day both i our hearts and body.
When we were outsie of the auditorium to catch the buses,it was finally our time to face the music of the holi powder.I had nearly escaped when abc gave me the last laugh bu casting the holi powder which suddenly appeared from nowhere.When i finally got into the bus ,i went to the last seat and slept for full 40 mins of the journey towards home.

College Day-Afternoon

2009-04-15T21:33:00.003+05:30

Since sun was at it's peek,we decided to rest in class for the afternoon and go for the college day in evening.Karmegam and Abc had asked to fill their slam books and when we were done our hearts again raced back to cricket.
So we started playing cricket in class,Roya(Anand) was in aggressive mood and started hitting tube-lights.There will always be a guy who hits the ball at girls when cricket is played in class.this time it was karmegam.Since the blow was really hard this time we just took to our benches and sat down.we set out to play at 2 p.m in the burning heat.
This time only 6 turned out and my team lost both the matches this time as bala was smashing the ball all over the place and Kani was in our team.When Madhavan finally came to play cricket we were damn tired and closed the game.
They were distributing some sweets in our department on the eve of college day.We ate it and thus ended the boring afternoon session of our college day

College Day-Morning

2009-04-15T21:09:00.003+05:30

The week that led to the college day was not that good.I and my batch had a bad experience with the project review and we were asked to do some enhancements .As usual my batch mate Madhavan had to spend few more sleepless nights in order to do those enhancements.
Mostly i and my friends never attend these college days as we think it as waste of time.This year too it was the same until April 10th when bala said we shall attend this college day since it is our last college day in ug.Since our report submission date was also postponed, we decided ok and all was set for final fun-filled college day.

Since we did not have any thing to kill our time in morning,we decided to play cricket atleast till lunch.As usual bala forgot to bring the ball,so joseph and bala went to buy ball in kelambakkam.Then all was sent for a good final day's cricket match in the college life.Madhavan as always was busy with the project and told he is not coming.So oly 8 of them were playing the final cricket match in our b.e life.Even when we started playing it was 8.A good coincidence.
The sun was burning down but when it comes to cricket we start to burn out at others and start using all the foul language in tamil.This day was no different and th victim in this case to my foul language was bala.For the first time in college ,joseph played cricket and rode his team towards victory in the first match.
In the second match bala's team amassed 45 runs in 6 overs.I and loki had no hopes of winning as was fluffy.So we decided to play dravid style.Luckily some guys from canteen who were playing in the match with us went off because of some work i,loki,fluffy got extra wicket to play with.
Fluffy as usual got out first ball,and i too went for duck and started my second wicket.
Kani's over:
Lokesh suddenly turned aggressive.And it was Kani's over.we required 39 of 4 overs.So if we hav any chance of winning we have to use his over.Lokesh got out first ball trying to clear the ground and used his second wicket and took a single.And i hit the next 4 balls for sixes,thanks to kani's immature bowling.The equation suddenlt turned 14 of 3 overs.
We romped home easily and the series was squared at 1 all.
That ended the morning session and all of us had our lunch and went to class.

ramaswamy vs singhania

2008-12-25T20:14:00.004+05:30

Note:This is just the comparison about ghajini in Tamil and ghajini in Hindi and how i felt about the movie in both languages.

First of all,i liked Hindi version more than the Tamil version.In Tamil there were some chase sequences featuring nayantara which were thankfully taken off from the Hindi version.Another scene that was taken off was that of surya fighting the villain's bodyguard to save asin.And villains aren't twins.The climax of this movie was better than that of the Tamil version.I just do not want to disclose the entire climax because it is better to watch yourself and some may feel Tamil climax is better.The other high point was Tamil ghajini made me restless while Hindi ghajini was just a smooth ride.
Some of the flaws that were in the tamil version were taken care off and some continued to exist.

The role played by surya as sanjay ramaswamy was somewhat better than that played by aamir as sanjay singhania.The chocolate boy expressions by surya were better than that of aamir,though aamir left his mark as the person with the short term memory loss patient.One scene in which surya enacts to the guy how to play sanjay ramaswamy was performed well by surya while the scene where surya sees the duplicate sanjay ramaswamy was well done by aamir .
The expressions portrayed by aamir as short term memory loss patient were great.Asin has done a good job as well .The villain character has benn played by the same person.The only difference here is he sound a little loud,may be it's a tradition of hindi villains.
While coming to music part i think a.r.rehman missed it somewhere and was a big letdown for such a good movie.His bgm's were bad compare to tamil.May be Murugadoss could have gone with Harris jeyaraj.While oru maalai song was better than behka ,guzzarish steals the show for it's locations more than that of suttum vizhi.While both the songs featuring asin and jiah khan were boring and made audience walk out of the hall while Kaise muje was fantastic.
All the scenes in Hindi were just the photocopy of Tamil version except for the climax.But aamir's Ghajini is still worth a watch for his brilliant acting and the climax.

Surya's Ghajini-3/5
Amir's Ghajini-3.5/5

Surya's acting=Amir's acting=4.5/5

Varanam Aayiram movie Experience

2008-12-17T09:22:00.002+05:30

Varanam aayiram was a movie I was so eager to see ever since they announced their release date.But unfortunately my exams were on the way so I had planned to see the movie the next day the exam got over.But some of my friends were not eager in seeing the movie said it is drama and we have to kill our time to see the movie.But still 6 of my friends agreed on seeing the movie.
December 2 was the date we had planned to see the movie.I asked my friend to book the tickets and all were in place until one of the bad things in my life happened.My grannies sudden demise the day bfore eluded me watching the movie.But all others went and watched it and I received mixed reviews.So I had postponed the plans of seing the movie to dec 11th.I had nly my friend prassana who has not seen the movie yet and we had planned to go to mayajaal.
But we were just 10 minutes ahead of the show and I was telling we won’t get a seat in the back .When we asked for the tickets he had given us the second row from the back.That was my first visit to mayajaal.The theatre was so small and they were only around 30-40 present to watch the movie.
As the movie started to roll it was good as I had not know the story before or what would happen.The first half was a little bit long around 1.5 hrs and made my asses pain though the film was good.I was eagerly awaiting the second half because it was when the emotions would start to roll on .When the second half started to roll on it was quite good and I had no bad opinion.
But when the screens started to fall signaling the end of the movie because there were no emotions felt I me when the father surya died and why should i?Because the father surya came only for about half an hour in the film and who would feel emotions for a man like that.I was really worried when the screens said “A movie by Gautam Menon”.Because he was quite a good director and I had not expected to him to direct a movie like this and that too dedicating it to his father. I
And finally I told my friend it was waste of money because I had wasted rs 120 on a movie just worth 60 or 70.But later one of my friends madhavan told that some scenes were cut and those were the emotional scenes of the movie and Gautam had said he was so worried that theses scenes were taken off.
So I am now waiting for the directors cut of this movie so that it would be a better movie .Until then this is my first gautam movie I hate to watch.

My comeback post

2008-12-08T10:31:00.003+05:30

It's been a longtime since i wrote my last post.One of the main reasons was the exams i had last month.Though i was not preparing for it full fledged i was not in a mood of righting any posts.So had planned to do so after December 1.
When i was studying for the exams i had many things in mind on what would form my next post because many tings happened around the world and mostly in India that time.Some examples are the Retirment of ganguly and kumble,Obama winning elections.Hamilton winning championship ,India crushing Australians etc.The most tragic happening was the Mumbai blasts .
So i had many things in my mind and mostly i also wanted to write how did my exams go.These were the titles i had chosen for some posts.

Lewis Hamilton-rookie and crookie champion
Black King ruling the White army-Obama
The downfall of champion-Roger Federer
Dada and Jumbo -The Pavilion
Punter losses as an hunter-Pointing
Terrorists fire Mumbai,Rains fired Chennai

These were the titles i had chosen to write on but one thin that shocked me the most was the sudden demise of my Grannie' made my mind froze and i wasn't able to think for 2 days and i was in some world.So i had put down all my plans for writing those posts because i was not able to think about writing any and when i thought it was my grannies face which came to my mind.
Meanwhile some friends of me asked what happened to my blog and smile was my answer.So i thought it's high time i resume my blog work after a week passed by since my grannies death and here i am writing my first post after nearly month.
I know this post has nothing content wise but it made me think a little bit other than my Grannie and made my mind afresh.I think i would soon be back with a number of posts and my next post mostly will be my experience on seeing varanam aayiram or My exams which once again made me think why i choose engineering.
Last but not the least i would dedicate this post to my Grannie to show my gratitude towards her though i did not visit her in the hospital one time also.

Independence Day

2008-10-12T17:53:00.003+05:30

Never had my parents left me alone in the house and gone out-station and I had asked them many times why they can't let me alone in the house and they go where-ever they like.They would be giving all the sentimental replies ,so i had to heed to their request and go along with them .But last October 9 they had no choice but to leave me alone and go to Melkote (a place near Mysore) for one of my relatives death ceremony.

So i was happy to be alone in my house for 3 nights .They started on October 8 .The reason why i would be like alone is that no body will be thereto wake up me at 5 in the morning whether it is working day or not.And in the nights i do not want to to go to sleep by 10.30.

But this time i had to wake up at 5 in the morning because i had to college and the bus would arrive at 7 .I set the alarm at 2'o clock in my phone for putting downloads and set 5 30 in the clock for getting up.I woke up at around 5 45 on October 9 not before my neighbour came and woke me up for giving coffee.The alarm was ringing in my ears but i was in a sound sleep regretting it.

I skipped the breakfast that morning because of model practicals and just had a puff for lunch and told my mom that i ate to my brim.When i had gone home that evening i started writing records before going to my neighbour's house for having dinner not until they had called me 3 time to come.I went to sleep at 2 in the night and got woke up by neighbour again the next day.The previous day routine followed again and i slept at 3 that night happily and got up at 7 to have coffee and then went to sleep again and woke up at 10 when i heard my mother was continuously pressing the calling-bill for 15 minutes.

It was the first time in 20 years i had woke up at 10 o clock in the morning.I was expecting when those 3 days would return and had it not been for the college the days would have still been happier as i would have woke up at 10 o clock all the three days and would have spent the days more happily .

Poi solla porom-A laugh riot

2008-09-21T11:35:00.027+05:30

A film was planned on sep 20,2008 and all wanted to go to saroja but i didn't want to go to saroja since i had seen it 2 times already.So it was planned to go to Poi solla porom(Remake of Khosla ka Ghosla).13 had confirmed thay are coming and when we tried to book tickets in sathyam on thursday there were no enough tickets available.So we dropped the plan.Later that evening lokesh called and said that tickets are available in sangam and inox.I asked kavin to book tickets in sangam since inox was not that good theatre as compared to sangam.We could not get tickets in executive class(sofa seats).So we booked in corporate class.
I messaged all of them that tickets have been booked.Later on friday,chocka told that he can't come since he was asked to come to college on saturday. So i had asked for many to replace him.But since that film had not any prominent actor no one was willing.Finally beckh(karthikeyan) agreed to come .
I asked kavin who always comes late to films or any other outing to come a little earlier or atleast give tickets to me.But since credit card must be produced at the ticket lounge he can't give the tickets so i had asked him to come by 2.45 for the 3 0 clock show.

September 20,2008:

Since i,Koushik,fluffy are all from the same area i asked them to wait at the pallavaram station so that we can all go together.Moreover fluffy doesn't know the place.I was wondering what dress koushik would be wearing because for college or outing koushik comes in his usual formals.But suddenly that day he was in his manchester united t-shirt and was looking different.We reached the theatre at 2 35 and by that time lokesh,balaji,kumar.s,ananthraman had reached the place.Joseph had told that he is not coming and no one knew it we can't arrange for a backup ticket at that time since it was already 2 50.

We called kavin to know where he was,the reply was disheartening.He has not even started. The hostelers reached the place by 2 50 and kavin had just started by that time.It was 3 o clock and when we called karthik said they had been caught by the police for over speeding and i was just shouting them over the phone though i knew the situation there was not that righ.Finally they reached the theatre by 3 20.

We had planned to shout on karthick and kavin but the film made us forget everything as the comedies in the film made us laugh out loud and we forgot our anger .Just as we sat for the movie the intermission board was shown up and we had some snacks outside and in the second half the film was just making us laugh and laugh.Mouli's seceretary and Nasser's action just made the whole theatre laugh to their beats and finally when the film ended it was planned to go to the pizza corner which was nearby.
We had 700 in our pockets and ordered for 5 regular size pizza and 7 coke bottles.I didn't know at that time the mistake we had done .And before the pizza's arrived our custom photo session had started and when we were done with the pizzas the coke bottles were there.And since our stomachs were full no body had the mouth to drink coke so at the least every body tried and completed 4 bottles.I alone drunk one and half bottles.
The remaining bottles were given to kingkar,beckham and ct(gokul prabhu) so that they can have it for the long drive they are going to have back to the hostel.
And we all started and by that time we reached the place it was 8 and a fun day with a fun movie had come to one of those happy endings as usual

1156- How can i forget it?

2008-09-15T21:12:00.005+05:30

Class 12 is a pivotal point in any student's life.It is the stage where one has to prove himself so that he has a good future in his hands.If he fails there ,then he may have to work hard in his college days so that he can live his better part of life happily.And it was no different for me.
I had secured 85% in my class 10 examinations at the CBSE level and my mother had asked me to take biology group so that i can appear for both medical and engineering entrance examinations.At this point i would like to confess that until 12 Th standard i didn't know what is the difference between an engineering and Arts college.I thought Madras Christian college was a good college and more over an engineering college at the end of my 11 th standard and i was praying i should get a seat there.
Since i was living in town there were no great coaching centers like iipe and aspire in our area and the only center known around Tambaram was Arul institute and i enrolled there in 11th itself because a rumour was spreading that they won't take in much students 12th and only those who had enrolled in 11th will get a seat there.
The class 11 was happily passing by and i was just beginning to know every problem by heart in my maths book so that even though i dunno the formula i would solve the problem easily because that was my strength of memory those times.
I cleared class 11 with a percentage of 90 and was looking forward to 12th and the tuition in arul institute had begun in late may itself and i along with three friends Bharath,Prasanna and Aravind would go together for the tuition.
The Physics and chemistry classes taken by Arul sir were not that much interesting but u can get to the bottom of every concept if u observe his class,So without much interest i would be observing and try to grasp a little.But the techniques he told us to memorise each equation in chemistry were mind blowing and you could never forget the chemistry equations if you go by his way.And physics class i could just remember one class where he was talking about some concept in atomic physics and depicting it as a cinema so that we could easily understand.
I wonder why those kind of teaching methods are not followed in schools or colleges.If arul sir had been a professor or a teacher in any school or college then many would have missed his services and not scored much in physics as well as chemistry.Thank god he did not choose that profession.
Next to the maths classes taken by thyagu sir .You shall have not seen a better maths sir than him.He always used to crack jokes or mock someone so that the concepts he takes get in our mind ,Those jokes would be in relation with the concepts.He used to crack jokes according to gender.So many guys like me would want to sit in his 7.15 p.m class ,because there won't be any girls in that batch and it would be gala time with him crackling all kinds of jokes and we would love to sit there.
Wait a minute?i didn't study 12th in private.So i would brief about my school i had studied.as it goes with all schools not all the teachers teach well and in my school except for my maths teacher none were there though physics was little better.Since biology was just mugging up without understanding anything there was no problem with the teacher except for the fact that she never taught us the last 5 pages of the 1st lesson in zoology.i do not want to go in detail with what was in those sides.Sanskrit,for me was easy because i had studied Hindi before and i and other guy named k.s.balaji would be the first in boys to finish any assignments or recite any poems in Sanskrit or write any notes .So i got scoldings from most of my friends during that time.
And unfortunately our English teacher Deepa mam had to leave in middle of 12th because she had got a better job and our whole class missed her because she was another of our good teachers we lost .
we would take up the tests seriously rather in arul institute than i our schools because tests in arul institute simultaneously coached us for our entrance exams

The final frontier

As it happens out in every school our teachers helped us out in our practical exams more so in the biology exams.And now it was in our hands to fair well in our final exams and all the staff had wished us .
Only one thought was crossing my minds when i was studying for my exams.I used to score well in maths & physics but not that much in chemistry and biology.So i was wondering the same questions that were asked in our term exams are only going to be asked in the final exams also.Then if we cannot score in term exams how can we do in our final exams.
My mother had taken one month leave before the exams so that she can watch me if i am studying properly.She had done the same in my 1oth and 11 th and even now so i don't care much about it.And my mother dislike group studies because she was of the notion that it was wasting time as all would be chatting instead of studying.I had no regrets.
I had asked my mother to cut the cable connection during November month since i thought it would be a distraction in my preparations.But i started to see more programs in dd than i would see in my cable during those months.
I was mostly going through the previous year question papers and both our arul and thyagu sir had told how to prepare for exams and what all to study and what all to leave.I left the whole chapter in electronics in physics as he had said.
Then the day before exams i and my friend bharath would sit from evening 7-10 and recall each and every chapter and go through the one mark answers of each chapter with the help of previous question papers either in my house or in his house and that time when we used to stud my mother would watch us and tell studying in groups is a better habit though we were only 2 in numbers.
The exam center was just a minute away from my house so 4 of us (aravind,prasanna,bharath and myself) would start from my house and i never touched the book in exam mornings .Those were the first and last times i followed that habit.
i would discuss only the one marks after the exam though i knew the fact that if i had gone wrong in any of the answers i would get utterly disappointed and that would be running in my mind rather than preparing for the next exam.But what to do eagerness prevails over everything .
I knew that i had lost 2 marks in physics 1 mark in maths and some 3 marks in chemistry after coming out of the exam hall.But not even a single time i had gone wrong in 1 marks it was all the 10 mark answers i had gone wrong.But in chemistry alone i had written the correct equation and strike off that and wrote the wrong one.I would always do my normal equation sum in maths 2 times first time wrongly and second time correctly and it happened in the final exams also
I was just sweating out when i was writing my physics paper because it was lengthy paper and i was used not writing any of the exams more than 2.5 hrs .But in physics it took me just 5 minutes before the bell rang to complete my paper and in maths i had a leisure tome of 1.5 hrs because i had completed my paper by 11 30(exam starts at 10) and in chemistry it was 12 and biology it was 11 45.So physics made me sweat out and Sanskrit-2 induced pain i my hands because i was writing the same answer again and again.

The exams had finished and it was time for entrance exams and we prepared for it too but with a little bit of leisureliness in my activities.

Results were out!!!!!

It was week after the entrance exams results were out the board exam results got published.Already many of them were in sad mood seeing the entrance results.I had secured 75 in my entrance and was waiting for my board results and i knew that i would not get into any top colleges in t.n.
I never used to see my results because if i then the results would be bad.It has been following me till my 4th year and it had happened even in entrance where i cold secure just 75 and i had seen the results .
So i had asked my mother to see my results and went off and when the results were out and all my friends were telling their marks i was standing in midst of them without knowing how much i had secured.I finally called my mother from my friends house and she told that i had secured 1156 i could believe and she thought that i would have known but i hadn't and some of my friends had called my house to know my marks.And then i went to a net center and saw my marks and then as i expected my marks had come except in chemistry where i lost 5 marks .
And my engineering cut ff stood at 273 with which i managed to sneak through ssn and get a seat in computer science department .
The day the results came out were one of the happiest moments in my life because i had never expected that much and Neither before nor after that i had studied with such dedication in my life and that reflected in my future performances in college.

And i would largely thank my arul and thyagu sir in helping me secure these much marks.

September 2'nd

I got up at 9'o clock with a function going on in my house.And that too my cousin sister came and woke me up.I just got up and had a bath and since no food will be served until the ceremony gets over i kept watching TV along with my cousin sister and brothers.And once again i messaged all the guys about the get together and was getting replies.It was 11 a.m and yet the ceremony had not started and i asked my mother when it would start they said at 12.

At 12 finally the ceremony started and i said to my mother that i have to start at 1.30 p.m.She gave me an annoying look and went off.But the function got over at 1.30 and while all the family members were having lunch ,the first phone call of the day from my chocka asking where i was ,I coolly said home and he spoke some lines and the phone went dead and finally i started at 2 .

I messaged to about 10 people not to wait for me and start to have their lunch because it would surely take 3.30 for me to reach there.Some shouted on me why.

And finally i reached the place at 3.30 and had some cold drinks and along with my gang started going around places.Isn't it good to have a get together and going around places during the get together alone with your gang.It felt bad for me but what to do i can't ask them to be together with class or give any reasons to others.Finally we started at 4.30 from city center and some of them said they are leaving and i replied ok.What could i say other than that?

And we went to beach.And as we were about to cross the roads as fluffy did the comedy he stepped on his toes and fell down near the Gandhi statue.The girls were laughing at this ,but later on it was known that they had not seen it and the laugh was for something else.

We had some great incidents at the beach like seeing josiyam and all and we took group photographs as it is a custom for every get together.And only one guy was looking at the beach in some sad mood .i think he had some feelings for something or recollecting his past.i didn't know that.And finally at 5.30 p.m we all started and i reached the home at 7 p.m.

And thus the first of the several get together (if possible) got over in a happy mood .

My cat score that week-end was 60 percentile

Note:I had missed some incidents that took place in city center and beach.I thought those incidents are better left untold.

September 1,2008,Afternoon

It was 12 and i had to start for my cat test .As usual no preparations for it .I was in the train messaging all along about the confirmations again and again.When i finally asked aparna when the outing time was arranged she told lunch and for the second time that day the word "SHIT" crossed my minds.I told her my situation and told that the lunch be at 3 p.m At least that would take some time for everyone to get assembled together.She accepted.

Suddenly i received a call from her ,what about a movie because ,some girls had reported beach syndrome,I am no way against movies but the thought that was crossing my minds who will arrange for the money to get that much number of tickets?She said that 4 of them ca combine and share the money and get it back the next day .I dint like that idea particularly for many reasons but I said ok because it was a get together and single-man's decision should not hamper the proceedings .I was asked to confirm the number of tickets by 4 p.m.I said ok.though i know that cat test is from 2-4.30.Again i started my message stint with a new message that the location has been shifted to cinema hall.

I started solving my cat paper and it was half an hour into the test i started getting varied replies about which cinema hall,when,what film,what show and all.The reply i gave them was all will be told to by 8 p.m and just ask them about their confirmation.Since i didn't want to test my memory i borrowed a paper from my school friend prasanna and wrote all those who are coming for the cinema.He gave me paper thinking that i was going to solve some sums.But no way ,my mind was already to far away from the test that was taking place.

Then by 4'o clock i thought it was time to leave the center because it was no point sitting in the test hall and just replying to messages.So i and my friend started and i was busy calling some who had not given their replies.And finally by 6 it was confirmed that about 29 are coming for the cinema.

September 1 ,evening:

I messaged that 29 of them had confirmed,but suddenly 2 of my friends asif and Anand Kumar said that they could not turn up because of their robotic project.I tried to convince them but again it was to no avail.And asb also had told that he could not come.And even i could not come if the show was at 2.30.So the final confirmation list was 26.

But unfortunately we could not get the tickets.So all the plans changed once again and the final plan was to have lunch at city center at 2 and then go to beach by 4 and start to home by 5.30 or as they wished because all were not keen to visit the beach(even guys).

And again my messaging started and once i finished messaging all the boys i went to watch t.v keeping my mobile aside in some place since i turned ill to mobile in those 2 days and when i came back at 9 to see how many messages were there only about 20 had arrived.

This time i didn't ask any confirmation so i did not except much messages to arrive.At 9.30 i had gone to bed to have some sleep and my cell was in silent mode till the next day morning at 9 o clock.

I have always written about my sad stories in my blogs

Some may think this man has only faced one part of life.Certainly not.So i decided to write one part of my joyous life.Here's how the story goes

August 31,2008

It was Saturday ,the day our national technical symposium Paradigm2k8 was a great hit.And when i returned home after a day of heavy work i thought of sleeping when i received a message from Lokesh.B that a mass bunk is planned on Monday to celebrate the success of Paradigm 2k8.And i said OK and went to drowse off when i received the second message from Joseph asking what about an outing that day.I do not regret to anythings mostly from friends so i said OK .And i and 2 of my friends(kavin and Balaji) were about to give treat and i send them the message .They too replied in the affirmative.

By the time it all got over it was 7 30p.m.So i thought i would finish my dinner and get done for the day.when i was having my dinner i received the next message from one of the girls(Aparna)in the class asking what about an outing with the whole class.

Since it was the last year of our college life and we didn't have a class outing so far.So i replied Yes.

I was thinking it as an easy job to have a get together.But then i realise i didn't have all the boys contacts(girls were taken care Aparna) because my phone memory got deleted a week before.So i was collecting all the numbers and messaged lokesh and Joseph about that get-together and asked them to message to the whole class.But since they were also tired because of the symposium work i had to face it single-handed.

The outing areas were decided to be restaurant and beach and i dint have any regrets and started typing my first of the 1030 messages to follow.And when i had finished the messaging stint,my memory suddenly got refreshed.

September 1 was my Grannie's (father's mother) ceremony and i had totally forgotten that and i had to be in the house that day..When i asked my parents they told i am free to move after 3 p.m that day.I thought the outing will be only on the evenings (didn't get reminded that girls are coming) because it will always be nice to go out on evenings than noons or the mornings.

Aravind Babu(ASB) said he won't come. Chocka told that he wouldn't turn up if ASB doesn't

and i tried to convince ASB but it was to no avail.So i asked chocka to take up the job by himself and he said he will.

The day ended at 10p.m because after that i couldn't hold on .So i went to sleep.By that time many had confirmed their presence and was happy by the way things had proceeded and messaged to that girl that i will confirm other boy's presence by tomorrow morning 9'o clock.

September 1,2008,Morning

The morning i got up,i saw my inbox to chck if any messages had come.ASB told he had to get bona fide so he couldn't turn up.I replied "OK",but in my mind the word that was running was "SHIT".Then except for a few forwards there were nothing.So i had my bath and finished my break-fast at 8.30.I got a message from one of my school friends Prasanna the mock test is at chetpet at 2 p.m .I was relieved.Then when i asked the boys again for the confirmation.They again told "yes".And when i was about to message Aparna ,I recieved a phone call from Divakar why had i not passed the message about the outing to Dinesh(Adidas).I told him i had asked cilvin to do so because my contacts list got deleted.

Then i asked Divakar to pass the news to every guy as far as he could.He said OK and the line went dead.And at about 10 i had asked aparna what about the girls side how many have confirmed.She replied she will confirm by afternoon and i said OK.Then i got the affirmation from all of the boys except a few.Chocka ,meanwhile was trying to convince ASB

Will Pietersen be England's Dhoni

2008-09-13T10:12:00.004+05:30

Cricket has really changed a lot these days.The oldies are being dropped out from every squad and the youngsters are really preferred to seniors.And even the captains are youngsters although some of them are inexperienced for this job .

The first team to implement this was South Africa with Graeme Smith being made captain at the age of 22 and rave reviews but now he has proved how much potential he has and has been selected as the captain of test team of the year in the recently concluded ICC awards .

India was also in a sort of despair when Rahul Dravid expressed to the media that he no longer needed to be a captain and just wants to be a player who can contribute for the team.When India was searching for an able leader in someone they had many options like sehwag,yuvraj,tendulkar.But surprisingly Dhoni was given the job.

Dhoni followed Ganguly's footsteps saying that he wants youngsters in his team and ganguly and dravid were the first to face the axe.Then when India went to the 20-20 world cup with no seniors except Ajith Agarkar and were one of the weakest teams to be considered.They arised from the Ashes and won the 20-20 world cup and showed youngsters are the future.On the tour to Australia when Kumble could not win the test series because of some poor umpiring decisions ,Dhoni put aside all those and lead to the famous series win of all time since the 1985 world series triumph in Australia.Ya if we see keenly it was Tendulkar who made the runs in finals but players like gambir,yuvraj also played the part .

And in the srilankan series Dhoni's men did what Kumble's men couldn't do and won the first bilateral o.d.i series in Srilanka beating the hosts 3-2.And in that series there was not even a single senior.Even sehwag who was considered the oldest of the lot was not there because of injury.This proved Dhoni's success as a captain.

Now let's come to England.England were in the dumps when both Vaughan and Collingwood gave away their captaincy and England were in search of an able leader.Many thought flintoff or strauss will fit in the bill but surprisingly Pietersen was given the shot at captaincy.

He led the team to test win against S.A though they lost the series 1-2.And in the o.d.i series England thrashed S.A 4-0 and handed over S.A serious drubbing.

When one sees the squad for England for the o.d.i series Pietersen wanted Harmison to be in the squad who was not the most sough after player in recent times and delivered his goods.And Flintoff was promoted to his favourite number 5 position and Owais Shah was given the responsibility at number 3 and both of them delivered.

In most cases Pietersen acted like Dhoni demanding what he wants rather than accepting what the squad given to him and make them play.

But the real test for Pietersen awaits when he tours India and he will be up against a leader like him when he will face Dhoni and that would be an interesting contest for all the cricket lovers.

The pouncing back has started

2008-09-09T22:36:00.005+05:30

On September 8,2008,Roger Federer was once again crowned the US open champion for the 5th time.He did finally won a grand slam this year.But it wasn't so convincing.Was it?
He was more vulnerable than previous years and at one time he was in despair against Igor Andreev when he was taken to the fifth set.But unlike Wimbledon he won this time.In his semi-final match up he was against the Australian Open Champion Novak Djokvic,by whom he was defeated in the semis of aussie open .But this time he was more focussed and he did it in style though he lost a set .
And when all were expecting another Federer-Nadal final this year Andy Murray,currently ranked world no 4 was in as a surprise package and waited for 2 days to beat Nadal and put up a dream final against Federer.
It was expected to be a exciting final but soon Federer turned into a lopsided contest and within 27 mins claiming the first set but Murray why he is in the finals of Grand slam and put up against.But against a man who has won 12 grand slam titles and searching for his first one this year he was no match and he lost it too 5-7.In the Third set he was blown away by the awseomeness of the man playing against him and was 0-5 down.At one point When Federer hit a return back and while the ball was travellin and was nearing the net he had asked for his towel.
Finally after 1hr 47 mins Mr Federer won his 13th Grand slam title and his 5th us open title beating Murray 6-2 7-5 6-2.
But this time Federer was really different ,He was yelling like never before except in the finals where one could see a calm and composed Federer.He was more vulnerable and was not in his best.But yet he had won his 13th Grand slam that was fudging him for about an year .
He is back though not in his complete best and one can expect him to go on and win a 14th grand slam by next year.Nadal and Djokovic will be on his back but for a man who has faced a year full of losses he would pounce back easily .
The No1 crown is not far away from Mr Federer.

Am I Stone-Hearted?

2008-09-06T12:55:00.001+05:30

This is the post i am writing after re-thinking for nearly about a dozen times.I had already written that "when my sister was in the hospital i never visited her and when i thought of visiting her she was nomore".
Now my grandma is in hospital.I haven't visited her too till this time.My parents have continuously pestered me to go and visit her but i have regretted many times.They have told stories when i was a baby how my grannie nurtured me and how she had beared the painings because of me.But i have not acceded to their request.
So they may think that i am stone hearted because i am not returning their gratitude.Is it the truth.
Certainly Not.I have liked my grandma for more than 1 reason.I have seen her live for me only since i know.She would recall my name only in her sleep also though her daughters worship her.But they are returning her their gratitude and me not yet.
I am really a emotional type of person.The reason why i didn't visit my sister and now my grannie.The reason is simple.I don't love to see those people who have belove me in such a pity state..I can't control my emotions when i see them.I have sat idle and thought about those people who had loved me and i cry for them because i can't meet them.Because i don't want to see them in such a disaster state.I can't handle such things.
But when i say this many may not understand and think it as an act of escapism.I never care.I know how i love them.And daily before going to sleep i would be thinking about grannie and how she will be now.I pray to god that He takes my grannie as soon as possible because i don't want to see her suffer more.
I have seen her sufferings more than anybody.Her only wish is to see me complete my degree course and die the very next moment.she had told this many times.Only when i call her she corectly identified.She can't identify her daughter,my mother also.When i call her she responds with a spontaneous yes,How ill she may be .I don't want to see her suffer more.
Please God Take her away.Don't wait until next year until i get my degree.Let her watch from heaven The Degree i get.I don't want to see her suffer.

September 28,1999 A day that can't be marked off from my memories

2008-09-02T21:50:00.005+05:30

There will be days in everyone's life that will stay in their memory till they are buried in the cemetry.And one such day in my life is September 28,1999.That is the day my beloved sister left me and my family once for all.I didn't worry about it that day but today i think how would have my life shaped if she had been alive.
Actually when she was alive we were not those beloved ones because we used to fight all the times and i used to get the beatings from my father if she had done the mistake too.So i would be really petrified why is she there.Because in all houses only boys get the beating. more so in houses having elder sisters and my house was no different.The only thing in which our minds were the same is that we both loved our parents.
In all other cases,we were just like cat and mouse.She would love watching Hindi channels and me Sports channels and if there is a match that day and a super hit film in hindi channel we would bring the roofs down.
She was naturally gifted in most cases except that luck never favoured her.Her hand-writing is still the best i have seen in my life,i tried to imitate hers but it never worked out.She speaks Hindi as well as any one in north does without going in for a private Hindi tuition or taking Hindi as her second language but me even after clearing all my Private Hindi exams couldn't speak that well.She speaks her english well as any girl does and me,am a Zero when i compare myself with her.And being in TamilNadu she was well versed in Tamil Grammar and i just mug up those bloody Grammar.
The most annoying factor in my life was the school life when my teachers seeing my sister think me too be like her but it never happened.All the time if i had done a mistake my sister would get the news next moment.But..
She used to savoure me in every movement in school.I feel myself astonished are we the same in house as well.The answer is NO.And any help i need in my school i straightly walk upto her and she had never disappointed me in those times.
But it all ended duting my 7th std quarterly exams.She was continously suffering from some diseases. From May 1999 she was more in the doctor's clinic more than in house.And when the doctors in the suburban asked her to take her to city hospital.We turned up for Ramachandra.But it was way too late .And after 20 days in ICU she left me and my family once for all.I never met her in the Ramachandra and when i planned to visit that saturday because of my Parents request she had died that Tuesday and that day was my Tamil exam and Her English Exam,what a day.She was in her 1oth during that time.
Days before her death she had asked her Photo to be enlarged in the house.When my parents told this to me it seemed to me that she had already visualised her Death?

Kumble gave a wry smile but Dhoni had the last laugh

2008-08-31T21:24:00.007+05:30

Cricket in India has always had a fair share of ups and downs.And this Srilanka series is no differnt from it.India lost the Test series 1-2 to Srilanka under the captaincy of Kumble and won the odi series 3-2 under the captaincy of Dhoni.

Both of them were convincing victories and defeats.No one would doubt that.

But what happened before the series started was the big question everyone likes to ponder about.

India lost the asia cup finals to Srilanka and mendis spun the web around india by taking a rich haul of 6/13 in the finals.

And when India went to srilanka for the test series the Question asked was"Will they be able to tackle the spin of mendis"

Kumble gave a mocking smile for that which stated that "They were seniors" and know how to tackle him.But what happened then was a completely different story.Dravid and Laxman never picked up mendis until the final innings of the series while tendulkar got out to Vaas contiously and Ganguly in cautious mode not to get out to Mendis got out to Murali.Such was the strength of Mendis.India lost the series 1-2 to Srilanka and Mendis with 26 wickets was the thorn in indian's flesh.

And Kumble's wry smile fired back on him and he blamed the middle order for not coping up with mendis.

When Dhoni's men came, except for 3 players 1 batsman(Gambir) and 2 bowlers no one had faced Mendis and Dhoni didn't speak out .India lost the first odi and suddenly everyone thought India's Younger team will also face a similar fate.But what happened then was a dramatic turn around.

India won the next 3 matches in succession and in two of those matches Mendis went for 56 runs in his 10 overs & Vaas and Murali proved less effective and went for runs.Dhoni,Raina and Badrinath demonstrated how to play Mendis.And india won easily.India lost the last match meekly but they had already done what had to be done.

And Dhoni had the last laugh Lifting the cup which Kumble and his seniors couldn't do yet again and India won it's first bilateral odi series in Srilanka.

Kuselan and Dasavatharam A huge difference

2008-08-30T21:53:00.003+05:30

One of the main differences between Kuselan and Dasavatharam is Kamal did what Rajini does best and Rajini did what kamal does best .

But unfortunately for Rajini it din't workout but for kamal it did.

If u see dasavataram in each and every frame kamal will be there dominating the scene which is unlike his movies where he gives his co-actors are also given a chance to dominate like in Anbe Sivam,Virumandi and much of his movies.But in dasavataram it was purely Kamal and no one else though Asin was there she didn't do a great deal.And it paid out for Kamal.Dasavatharam is the biggest blockbuster of the year and the only blockbuster in Kollywood.

When we come to Rajini he used to be in every frame of the movie and his fans and all other people would love him for his punch dialogues,style and fight sequences.But when you take Kuselan Pasupathi would be in every frame of the movie and Rajini would have dominated the climax where he makes everyone cry.Padayappa is a rare exception but in that movie also he was there full length while in Kuselan he was there only for 55 mins and in Chandramukhi Jyothika dominated only the last 20 mins other parts it was full of Rajini.

But unfortunately it didn't pay off for rajini as Kuselan ws one of the major flops of the year along with Bheema and Kuruvi.And Rajini is asked to pay the debts for the loss occued which is really sad because when his film were huge hit no one came and and give him the share he is eligible for but when it is a flop he is asked to pay the debts.

Only one thing is clear from this .For a masala actor it is difficult to give a hit if he doesn't dominate whereas for an actor who gives his co-actors a chance the people like it any way he acts if the film is good.

Are u really bored?

2008-08-21T22:11:00.002+05:30

Do u really feel bored and do not know what to do then just click the above website and take up the test and find about yourself.Do it if u really need to .You may get bog down also after seeing the results.So do it when you are cool and do not have any work.

A 1659 day journey has finally ended

2008-08-18T21:15:00.003+05:30

1659-This is the number of days that Federer was in number one position.237 consecutive weeks is really a big achievement for any player to be in number one and as for as life goes everything should have a end and thus ended a 237 week reign at Number 1 for Mr Roger Federer.It took nadal nearly 3 1/2 years to break his jinx at Number 2 and have his hand on Number 1.

Nearly nothing went right for Federe this year.He was ousted in the semis of the Australian open and as always as it happens was more comprehensively beaten in the final of the french open by nadal for the third consecutive time and lost his dream open-wimbledon to Nadal after fighting it out for nearly 5 hrs.Even the wind was against federer during wimbledon.

If one traces back on his fall of form ,it all started from last year french open after he decided not to hhhave a coach.he lost to Nadal in french open,survived a scare against against the same man in wimbledon beore wining it and only in the us open he performed better.And this year he has won a mere two titles.

This is unlike the Federer one used to watch him before.He has started to become more vulnerable nowadayas and will he defend his us open title has itself become a question.His mindset against Nadal is becoming too impossible to bear and it seems he is going to lose against Nadal everytme he plays against him.

when one sees the history books of tennis federer and Sampras are one and the same .They have never performed better in clay and not won a French open in their life-time.Atleast federer has managed a final ,but Sampras hasn't .And both have won the same number of Australian and US opens .

And when Sampras lost his no one reign after six years he slipped once for all and never regained it back.So it's time Federer thinks about his career and starts concentrating on it and try too regain the no one and prove to the world that he is till there in the tennis world and beat the record of 286 weeks at no one held by sampras and show to the world that

"Form is Temporary and Class is Permanent"

Is Indepence Day celebrated in it's true spirits?

2008-08-15T19:05:00.003+05:30

Our country celebrated it's 62nd independence day today.The main essence of celebrating the independence day is to remember our heroes who fought for our country to gain independence from the hands of British.But is it the real case happening in our country.It's really a question to ponder.
when we start from school life,the students are asked to come to the school and some chief guest will come and hoist the flag and students will clap.Then the chief guest will be rendering some useless speech and students should clap for it and they will be given a chocolate and return home so that they can spend the other part of the day happily watching TV shows and movies telecasting in it.
When you take the TV channels instead of putting shows on how India got freedom or at least a film taken on patriotism they will be telecasting a film of masala genre.So the children don't know anything about the national heroes.So the Gen Next would also be knowing anything of the national heroes and slowly the main essence of independence day is being forgotten.And it will be considered most of holiday than a day of remembering our heroes.
The worst of all this someone given to pinup the flag in his shirt and he is doing it outside.Even the political leaders exchange wishes only and instead of remembering their heroes they will be thinking of how to impress the people with the help of this day by giving some useless speeches.
Worst of all this is Vodafone which charges for sms on special occasions stopped charging on this day and that tells the significance of the day.
It's time we think about it and act so that the next generation remember the national heroes not only by reading it on the history books but knowing more about it so that the significance of independence day does not fade out of the memory

3 M's who are ruling Srilankan cricket

2008-08-13T21:16:00.008+05:30

There was a time when srilankan cricket were mostly dependent on their batsman such as dulep mendis,aravinda de silva,Arjuna Ranatunga and not to forget the Marata Mauler Sanah jayasuriya.They contributed hugely to the srilankan cricket and the latter three even made them win them world cup in 1996.
But the bowlers of srilanka were mainly unsung heroes with the exception of Vaas and Muralidaran.But Lately it's been the bowlers who have been the reason for srilanka winning the series.And the abroad performances have improved greatly improved due to this.
The first find of Srilanka was Lasith Malinga who helped srilanka secure many series and rattled the batsman with his action.
The late but the best find for Srilanka is surely Ajanta Mendis who is known to be the only finger spinner the world has seen.He broke many records in the series against india and when he was introduced in england there were criticizing all around that he should have been introduced against india and he would be studied by the indians by the time he comes to play against india.
But he proved false and silences the critics that flowed around by baggibg 26 of the 60 wickets more than muralitharan,a difficult feat to achieve and suddenly became the find for srilanka.
If u see all these tree bowlers Muralitharan,malinga and Mendis they are not usual kind of bowlers.Murali turns the ball square even in a cement turf,malinga has one of the most wily actions the batsman have encountered and Mendis,the world's first renowned finger spinner and it would take time before the batsmen get accustomed to mendis.
It took laxman 5 times before he understood the leg spinner or carrom ball he is bowling.Dravid finally saw him through in the last innings befoe which he changed his tactic and got him by bowling around the wicket.

As for now Srilanka have produced three different kinds of bowlers the world cricket has never encountered.And the surprise element is that all their last names start with "M".Is it coincidence or what??
Only god knows it.Let's wai for the next bowler that srilanka has to offer and hop his second name also starts with "M"

The best in anti-virus-NOD 32

2008-06-20T17:20:00.005+05:30

I have tried every anti virus that have come along starting with Norton.The best anti virus till now i have worked on is NOD 32 anti virus.It is one of the easy to use anti virus and does not use much of the system memory anytime and almost finds every virus that is there in the system and mostly does not allow any virus to pass by your system when u install it first hand.Though Kaspersky and Bit Defender are the best they use a hell a lot of system memory and perform the same task that this anti virus performs

Never get spellbound by words

2008-06-20T11:51:00.001+05:30

This was one of my bitter experiences i had in my life which taught me not to get spellbound by words.
My friend was a member of MLM organisation .Earlier when he asked me if i would join i just regretted and lately when he started to earn money i just got attracted to it as many would do.So i asked him about the MLM and i was strongly impressed with his explaination and decide to join.I told my parents they didn't agree but i asked my friend to put up a talk with him and they got convinced.Later when i joined the organisation only i knew that my friend had not told me some policies of the organisation.I thought i was bewrayed and didn't take part actively in the organisation .Though i got back what i had put my friends who joined under me didn't get it back.Those who joined under me started to stare up on me and my relationship with them got broken up and i can't face them when i see them and the feeling of betrayer still runs in my mind.
I can't put the blame on my friend though because it was me who got attracted and blindly believed his words .

Dasavatharam-A film made purely for records

2008-06-20T11:33:00.001+05:30

When i sat down to see dasavatharam i was expecting a hell a lot from the movie.when the film started to roll i was just enjoying until a point where i felt kamal has just become a overdose in the movie and it was more like a rajini movie where he only dominates the movie and other guys just make a walk in an walk out.This movie was more of such a kind.Kamal was only there and others were just walking around him.This was unlike a kamal movie because it didn't have a perfect storyline as his movies have.The role of asin was just irritating all over the movie with the same dialogue.
The graphics as for every RaviKumar movie was purely visible and that was also not nice.Except for the balaram naidu and Fletcher characters the movie was more of an anguish for me to say.Those who have seen Arnold,James bond movies this was one of them.Except for the startinag and climax of the movie where two kamals face off each other it was just a bitter experience for me to watch a kamal movie after 2 years.
