If there's something Amusing and Confusing at the same time, there are only two of them.
Software and Law. Let us try a law point. Take Double Jeopardy.
The rule against double jeopardy states that no one should be tried or punished twice for the same offence. This rule protects citizens from oppression by ensuring that the State cannot keep prosecuting a citizen until they are finally convicted. It is a fundamental and ancient rule of law that extends back to the time of the Ancient Greeks.
If ever punished already for a crime that was never commited, the person is allowed to perform that crime in public, and will not be punished again.
You could have seen a movie of the same name "Double Jeopardy", where my favourite Actress, the very beautiful Ashley Judd plays a wife, who is misunderstood to have killed her Husband, and is punished by the American Federal Court of Law. (This sounds better than Indian Penal Court, doesnt it). The when she comes out of prison, she understands her husband is not killed yet. Now, she can kill her husband in front of the Times Square, and just walk away without an arrest, as she had already been imprisoned for the same crime.
Cool ! This is some kind of Prepaid Crime. Be in Jail now, Kill later.

Ganguly Smacked !!
If you were on a IT company, and checking mails every two minutes, whether or not you have mails, then you are certain to have seen the following mail.
"How to Make Maggi when Ganguly is on field"
Pic on Hello !
Here's the procedure, as to how you do it.
Step 1: boil one cup of water.
Step 2: as soon as ganguly goes for batting, put the noodles in the boiled water and put the tastemaker.
Step 3: stir till ganguly is onfield.
Step 4: As soon as ganguly is back in pavilion, your noodles r ready to eat.
Phew ! Life of a celebrity is simply unpredictable. One day, he is portrayed as a Super Hero, and the other day he is the top Jackass. It is quite normal. But Ganguly has gone through this many a too times.
I wonder if Ganguly would survive the next BCCI meet as a caption.
Here's another insult to Ganguly's injury. This was another mail.
What is the next number in the series
21, 12, 12, 1, ...
The answer is 2. Wonder Why ??
These are Ganguly's scores in the recent Test series. :)
Savurav Gone Guly.

More Movies in June
Was just checking up about the new movies coming up in Hollywood. Much to our surprise, most of them are Animated movies. With the growing popularity to Animated movies, looks like Hollywood actors are going to loose their jobs.
Ice Age Part II is coming up. Supposed to be a block buster. Steven Speilberg and Tom Cruise come back again with "War of Worlds". I saw the trailer of this movie. Wow! Could be yet another Independance Day kind of movie. But Spielberg and Cruise can give a flavour to it.
Manoj Night Shyamalan, is sharping his nails for another bite. "Lady in the Water" is his next movie for Warner Bros. But we have to wait longer. Its releasing 2006.
Off beat: A political leader wants all Billboards in Tamilnadu, which have their captions in English to be painted with TAR and to be erased. How arrogant and foolish can he go. I mean there has got to be a stop for this. I dont see any kind of affection in him for the language. He is just creating a Whitepaper about nothing and publicising it.
March 30. Your year ends here. From tomorrow you are fresh. A fresh Tax Payer.
Pay Tax and Hold your Head High ! (this message is issued in public interest alone. not mine)

Nature is not done with its speech Yet.
Japanese have issued a Tsunami Warning yesternight. When we were peacefully sleeping, earth was screaming in your ears.
The quake lasted as long as three minutes, Agence France- Presse cited Indonesia's Meteorological and Geophysics Office as saying. The temblor caused power blackouts on Sumatra.
8.2 rictor - a high magnitude earthquake had kissed one island of the Indonesia. Wonder what disaster is waiting for us.
God save us all.

In the Terminal
God has kept me away from very good movies. Dont really know why. I really felt like i was crying, during the ending scene of the movie. Spielberg cant just awe-spire you, or make you scream with Dinosaurs, but he can make you smile and cry, with the power of emotion.
You may not like the movie, if you are an Entertainment seeker. It is slower than those award winning Malayalam movies. But you will Jump for Victor Navorski (played by Tom Hanks).
The film is about a person, from a country travelling to New York. But as soon as the flight takes off, the country from where Victor travels has been abandoned. United States doesnt accept people from that country. And because that country no longer exist, Victor cannot go back to his home. US officials are very rigid, and they do not let Victor touch the soil of America.
Victor is stranded in the Airport for, Ladies and Gentlemen, believe it or not - 8 months.
And finally what happens, is the heart of the story.
You know, sometimes we feel something deserves Credits fully.
This movie deserves all the good it can get.

Dreaming on Monday morning
Had a dream last night. A very nice dream - something that made me happy and sad at the same time. It is always possible in my life, that happy moments are the ones that I regret the most. Yesternights dream was such a happy moment. Quality dream.
In my dream, I was rich. Only in my dream. Im talking about High Magnitude Richness. All my dream Gadgets, without fail, appeared and danced in front of me. A 8 Mega Pixel Camera, a Royal Red Toyota Corolla, a Plasma Sony Projection TV and a Nokia 9500 Communicator. Imagine a multi-millionaire in the Old age Tamil movies. He comes with a colour-colour Gown and a Pipe in his mouth. Something similar to that.
I hold a Sony Vaio in my hand, and keep typing something. Then I go to a Dining table where delicious food, everything colorful. (I have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner even in my dreams, kindly excuse). I have a belief that people having Swings (Uunjal) in their houses are rich. So, I get back to typing something on Vaio, sitting on the Swing. Iam always busy, and attending Phone calls on my Nokia Communicator.
Then iam sitting and enjoying all possible movies on my projector TV with a Creative 7.1 Surround Sound system. Home Theatre, Hah !
Dreams are so good for one reason. You can do anything. Anything.
Then i woke up, found everything back to normal. I knew what was reality. But the sweet fragrance of dreams, wow. You know, how i like it.
I get on the Auto back to office, on Monday Morning. All the fragrance of the Dream, dies in the smokes of Nelson Manickam Road.
Reality Sucks.

God's Own Friday
Traditionally, Good Friday occurs between March 20 and April 23 on the Friday before Easter, and commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus.
Why "Good Friday"? No one knows for sure. However, church scholars sometimes point to the very same Eastern Orthodox observance known as Great Friday. Others believe that "good" eventually became a corruption of God, or an old English word meaning "holy."
Today, Christian churches traditionally hold services on Good Friday from noon until 3:00 p.m. to symbolize Jesus' last hours on the cross. In Catholic churches especially this includes The Stations of the Cross, a reenactment of the procession to Mount Calvary where Jesus was crucified.
I personally love it for a simple reason. Even after my 2 months of arrogant sick leave, my company has kindly granted me the freedom of availing a floating holiday. So, what am i doing today ??
No Doubt, downloading "The Ray" from Shareaza a P2P software. Im also hunting for the Hanuman Chalisa MP3 sung by MS Subbulakshmi. Someone who knows the whereabout, please Shout !
Have a nice day. For me, its already a weekend :)

Pakistan Day
In 3 Weeks, i saw 7 friends of mine go to Tirupathi. Now, 2 of my close friends. Even my next door kid, Dachhu is going for a Mottai this weekend. Tirupathi season. Im exploring my possibilities of going. God knows when.
Shocked to hear Rajnikanth is a Pshycriatist in Chandramukhi. I was not able to digest the fact, that he is a BE engineer in Padayappa. Everybody like Rajni only as a common Tamil man. I only hope he hypnotizes the audience this time.
Gemini Ganesan Gone. I liked his voice better than anyother attribute of his. He was gracious on screen. Rest in peace, Mr. Ganesan.
Today is Pakistan Republic Day. They call it "Pakistan Day". Hope they dont have the need to tighten securities on republic day, just like we do every year. Ironic.

On your Roof Top
Another Broadband adventure !
I tried Keyhole, a recently acquired company for Google. This software is a Aerial Photography software, that zooms to the roof top of your house from Space. - Can you believe it, FROM SPACE.
Unfortunately, and quite expectadly this only works for the United States zones. I zoomed upto Chennai.
It showed me locations of Avadi, Ambattur and even Pallavaram, but not Villiwakkam. Damn.
You have a decent Hi-Speed Internet Connection, then you may have to try this for sure. Download Keyhole on your computer, and try to reach your friend in the United States.
Microsoft has its own version of Aerial Photography - Terradata.
Trust me, the Land looks more beautiful from the Sky.
But only as long as you are not falling from the Sky !

Seeing thru Colored Glass
Seeing thru Colored Glass
1. There is a Room 20 X 40. In it stand 8 People. They are looking at a snake which has come by chance to the centre of the room.
2. The inverted image of the 12 Feet Raja Naga, is in the retina. -- The brain doesnt understand what it is.
3. Thalamas identified the signal, which belongs to visual cortex, and sent it.
4. Meantime, the message has been passed on to Amgdala. What to react, Fight of Flight. Which response to take.
5. There was a color glass, called the combination of Value and Belief, and they reacted differently to the same visual signal from the external territory.
The Persons and the Belief.
Ramanna - Hails from Karnataka.
His Belief - Snake is God.
Value - God should be worshiped
Response - He requires flowers to be offered.
Varadhan - Lost his friend by Snake Bite.
His Belief - Snake is dangerous.
Value - Runaway from fearful stimulus.
Response - He demands an exit request for himself
Kannan Nair -
Belief - Snake is a poisonous beast
Value - To be killed.
Response - requires equipment to kill the snake.
Child -
Belief - any sensation is to be appreciated
Value - play toy
Response - need to play with the snake
Kim Lee - a Korean girl
Belief - Snake is a medical content,
Value - enhances health value
Response - to be caught and made as a soup
Menaka - Blue Cross member
Belief - Animals are no different from Human beings
Value - To be treated with love and compassion
Response - To safeguard snake from any torture
Muniyandi - Snake Charmer
Belief - God which provides food for the family
Value - Bread Winner
Response - To take possession of the snake, to make his earnings
Ibrahim - Leather Merchant
Belief - a fashion statement
Value - expensive commodity
Response - to be skinned alive.
One Snake and Eight Perspectives
Ramanna has married Kim Lee when he was in Korea, on his Onsite venture. After two years of married life, they attended a function, at Chickmangaloor on a Nagapanchami Day (a day auspicious for snakes)
That was a starting point of the mismatch of their Value and Belief
There are only two options.
Divorce or Live with.
What is the third alternative.

Madhav Dasika - Guest Blog
I would have touched many areas in my 4 months of blogging. But not sports. You would know the reason if you have seen me already. Sports and ME would sound more like an Oxymoron. So, here's outsourcing.
Madhav Dasika, is a Team Leader in my office, and a very good friend of mine. He had this different perspective about Idol Worship. The religion, where he thinks this superstition is followed, is called Cricket. Wow, i smell controversial opinions already.
Here's Madhav and his log.
"The Profile of the most admired batsman!!
This is a person who has got maximum number of centuries and still consumes more than 6 overs to reach from 90 to 100. No gifts for guessing.
The most proclaimed and world renowned Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. Very often the saying goes says that we are loosing the matches because we dont have Tendulkar in the side. He is in the news almost all the papers from the day he has an elbow injury till the day he palyed a trophy in Hyderabad.
I saw a program on one of the channels in where the spectators were yelling 'Tendulkar has disappointed us today'. That was the day on which I started wondering when did Tendulkar not disappoint us (if not a surprise atleast). Any big league, it will be potrayed as the star bowler of the opponent team vs Tendulakar. So far I have never seen Tendulkar going against the odds and trying to overcome the *star bowler* of the opposite team except for Henry Olongo of Zimbabwe (and Shoab Akthar of Pakistan in the World Cup)
He is compared to Sir Don Bradman and he is compared to Sunil Gavaskar. I somehow do not understand whether these people also stood more for individual records than a match winning performance. We have seen Dravid playing the wall role, Kaif/Yuvraj/Ganguly and sometimes Agarkar winning the matches for us. But so far I have not seen Tendulkar contributing more than 30-40 runs in any crucial innings (be it be one day or a test match) except for two matches against Australia in which he was a Captain."

Adobe Photoshop CS !
Massive downloads. With a very silly feeling of testing the limits of BSNL Dataone, I downloaded Adobe Photoshop Cs. 150 MB.
150 MB is something that never was even in my dream. And now, its more than reality.
150 MB took 1 hour and 20 minutes. But i used to download 15 MB in on hour and some minutes. So, literally 10 times faster.
Enough for me !!

Open Source Google
This is a hit news !
Google starts a new Service / Ploy / Strategy / Whole new way of Google. Whatever way you take it. You can now participate in shaping Google, and its technology.
You can download the Open Source , work on it yourself and watch your product, and Gratify your Techno Savvy. I would like to do it, but many of the terms seem confusing. Looks like i will have to be a even matured programmerto even understand terms.
But then, there are Forums for this Open Source you can speak to, and atleast tell your requirements and ideas.
Check code.google.com for more informations

Take 3. Action !
My friend gave me a library book - "Thiraikkadhai Ezhuthuvathu Eppadi". How to Write Screenplays, written by Sujatha. Completed half of the book yester-night. Im not going to make movies, no!. But it is worth a read, if you want to make your tastes for cinema better. You can learn how to appreciate good cinema. May be thats not the intention of the book, but thats what i inferred.
A normal person, going to cinema, used to say "Great Movie !!My hero has did it again". But the same person is now matured, and he says,"The movie would have been better, if the editing was done properly". "Cinematography was excellent in Kannathil Muththamittal". "Baba had a useless screenplay".
I cant dare say this is maturity in viewers minds. Most of the people (including me) talk because, they know that terminology. "Sreegar Prasad's editing was great in Dil Chahta Hain", i used to say. But i still dont know whats editing. But then, i can clearly say that a movie was properly edited or not.
All things apart, forget everythig. Just listen to what Rajnikanth says. Whistle and Clap. Get out !!

Broadband - really slow !!
My dataone service is yet to come, even after two months of repeated complaints. But i was shocked when my friends friend applied two days before, and he got the connection today. Talk of envy and agony at the same time.
Envy - I heard this word first time in Onida advertisement. Neighbor's Envy. Owner's Pride.
Many other Brands have this amusing type of Captions to their companies.
HBO - Simply the Best
BBC - Knowing is Everything
CNN - Be the first to know
IBM - Solutions for a small planet
MTV - Enjoy
Honda - The Power of Dreams
Nokia - Connecting people
Pirelli - Power is nothing without control
Emirates - When was the last time you did something for the first time.
You know what's the best caption in this world ??
Avyukta - Welcome to your Senses. !!!!
Gotcha !

Kokku Para Para
Chandramukhi has done pretty decent in terms of songs. Though i like only two of them. I like "Kokku Para Para". My next door kid, Darshan dances for "Devuda Devuda" shaking his hands and legs. God has taught him to dance like that. Wonder how kids learn, and more to amazement, Rajnikanth's songs have a greater impact on kids. Almost all the kids i have seen a little earlier were singing "En Peru Padayappa !!!". Strange.
More Movie Digest : All movies back off their release dates, in co-ordination with Chandramukhi, leaving Chandramukhi the lone runner. Mumbai Express and Anniyan, set to go 10 days later.
Road block in road opposite to Valluvar Kottam. Man, these guys drive us Crazy, literally.
Hey, I've completed Deception Point. Only Digital Fortress is pending for completing all the Dan Brown Stuffs. Deception Point, i personally felt would make a good movie, but because I read Deception point after DaVinci and Angels and Demons, it did not have a good appeal over.
I Strongly recommend you all to read this book - Angels and Demons, after you read DaVinci Code.
Mail me for eBooks. :)
More Movie Digest : All movies back off their release dates, in co-ordination with Chandramukhi, leaving Chandramukhi the lone runner. Mumbai Express and Anniyan, set to go 10 days later.

Curiosity Kills the Cat
I dont know why, but i like this Phrase a lot - "Curiosity kills the cat".
I really do not understand why this Phrase got its existance. But i like it. Probably the Cat is too very much curious, just like me. And gets killed everytime it expects something to happen, just like me. During my NIIT days, i was the only guy who completed the SQL Server 7.0 Online test in 20 minutes. The exam was supposed to be going for 1.5 hours. Most of the other guys were not ready to submit, even though they completed in 30 minutes. They were doing something called "Review of answeres", which i completely didnt like. I clicked on submit, and i was the Topper there.
I followed the same process/technique/superstition and clicked Submit in my next Java exam. And nobody got worse than me. I was lowest. I didnt know how to react. Usually this realization comes to most of us, when we get low marks. "Marks and test dont evaluate the knowledge of the person".
My MSc results are about to come, and i already told the above philosophy to my mom twice. Thats called preparing minds to accept the worst, and getting curious at the same time.
God Bless me and my Evaluator.

Whats Mind - Its no matter. Whats Matter - Never Mind !
If you'd been reading "Angels & Demons" you should have come across the term - Anti-Matter. I must be a confused guy, to understand Anti-Matter, without underanding what a matter is. Physicists define matter as something that has mass and comes in different forms: solid, liquid, gaseous. So, anti-matter is supposed to be the opposite of that. What could that be then !!!!
To define Antimatter, you'll have to deal with Paticle Physics. It says, everything in the Universe, has opposites just like Protons and Electrons. For every particle in nature, there is an anti particle - made of antimatter, with identical mass and spin, but with opposite electric charge, baryon number, strangeness, lepton number etc.
Antimatter was predicted by Dirac, based on strange "negative energy" solutions to his equation for an electron.
As per CERN - an European Scientific Research Lab, and as per my reading of Angels and Demons, When Matter and Anti-matter collides, there is a big-bang.
In scientific terms they call it Anhiliation - Matter and Antimatter Anhiliation.
So, the universe should have resulted in such a powerful collision of Matter and Antimatter. This supports our Big-Bang theory.
Phew ! So, many things are yet to be discovered. Still we worry about naming Tamil movies in English !! Damn !

Big Boss on the Charge
Believe it or not. No hypes, no cheap stunts, no big controversies. Chandramukhi, is smoothing its way, out to the world of fans. The simple banners and hoardings, and even simpler outlooks. Simplicity is the Grandest thing, i believe.
take a look at Thalaivar at cruises of action.
[Pic ctsy - www.lazygeek.net]
Wish this movie, brings back the lost smile on Rajni's face.

Whats your flavour ?
Considering many things in life, lets say we priorotise things. In my life i have priorities set, based on the daily life. I dont want to have foresight and then set priorities. Its just priority for my everyday, just like today. What are they.
1. Good food
2. Good food
3. Quality Work (!!!!)
4. Intellectual Informations
5. Good food
6. Sound Sleep
As far as sleep is concerned, quite recently, or exactly after my BONGO accident, i lost it completely.I dont know why, im not getting my normal sleep at all. So, Sleep is quite a big wish in my priority list.
But food, has always dominated in my priorities. I eat anything (vegetarian) good. Hygeine, is one word, i never learnt in school. So, food anywhere, any form and good.
Informations and intellectual informations. Particularly the perspective views. It would interest you even, to think about a normal thing in a different view/ perspective. Its like being someone else's mind. Take this. Sonia Gandhi wanted to forgive all the people who killed her Husband - Rajiv Gandhi. When i read this information, i thought "How greatful of her..". But then, there was another article by Cho. Ramaswamy. "Who is Sonia Gandhi to forgive terrorists. Further, there were many other people killed, Are everyone ready to fogive the brutal act. Why should everyone comply with her...". Different, isnt it.
Start looking at things on a wider angle. You get more clarity on an object, only when it is 360 degrees viewable.
Murphy's laws says "Everyone is Someone's fool". Remember you are a fool in some persons eyes. Same way You are a GURU in someone's thoughts. You are worshipped by someone, and at the sametime someone hates you to the core.
Thats because, we are not the same person to everyone. We exhibit different attitudes to different people.
We are not who we think we are. We are what others think we are.

How many lakhs do you want ??
Successful weekend. Got the long time waited mobile (no ! not 9500. no gifts yet). Completed the Angels and Demons. Just as i guessed, the villain was exactly the person, nobody would have guessed. Next up - Digital Fortress. Getting to like this. May be Digital Fortress and Deception point, i will read parellely.
And, if you were tempted by the Topic, here goes.
I was giving a read throught Anandha Vikatan (www.Vikatan.com). And this info gave me exactly 500 Tons of temptation, and a long breath. It was about how companies hired the Top level Employees, like M.D.
The companies assign the task to HRD Consultancies, which recruit MDs. These consultants fix their target, and find a person suitable for the job. He is spied upon, and his weakness is found out. Or his necessities are observed. Then they slowly, open up the offer to the MD, to quit the current company and join theirs.
Three levels of temptations. "If you join this company, leaving you current job, i shall pay you 10, Lakhs" - This is called the Golden Hello
"If you join the company, and stay for oe complete year, i shall give you 5 lakhs more" - Golden Handcuffs
"And if you have to quit the company, ,or the company wants to terminate you , on unfortunate reason, i shall give you 15 lakhs" - Golden Parachute.
This is the way MDs are hired.
My dream - This is the way Software Engineers should be hired.
Anybody ?

Movie Search
Do it now . Go to Google, type "Movie: awesome car chase" and hit the search button. You better not be surprised about the result. Google is just capable of anything, and even this.
Movie search, Map search are the hits of February, and have scaled up the intellingence of Google a bit too higher.
Thought Chandramukhi Audio was releasing tomorrow. Hope to hear some better songs..By the way, how is Mayaavi ?
