A Good Read. Usual Dan Brown stuff. Got to know about the bizarre Masonic Rituals and the secrets that the clan has managed to hide in Washington D.C. Awesome detailing and story narration. Another block-buster on your way !! Looking forward for the magic trio(Tom Hanks ,Hans Zimmer & Ron Howard) in action.

The German Super Cup 2010

2010-08-07T11:15:00.000-07:00

The Super Cup match between the Bayern Munich & Schalke was interesting. Muller and Klose demolished Magath's team once again. Kuranyi was missing in Schalke's Colors and the new introduction Raul impressed with the one off chance. Manuel Neuer did his best to keep the competition alive but the threesome Olic, Klose and Muller was too hot to handle for him. Hope we see more of Muller this season in Bundesliga.

Yes, I am writing this special blog 2 hrs before the start of the 2010 world cup final between La Roja and Oranje. Do I support any of the above teams? NO. Is the Spanish team deserved to be in the Finals? Maybe. Are they better than the Germans ? On the given day, may be yes. I am supporting Oranje this time !!

Germany shreds Argentina 4 - 0

2010-07-03T09:12:00.000-07:00

Yes I am typing this blog out of intense hate that I have against the Argentinian Side. The Coach Maradona proclaiming himself as a football God and acting weirdly on the Mega event had to deal with such shock exit. Maradona was never a good human first, leave alone whether he is a footballing God and all. The German Artillery shredded Argentinian defense to pieces. At least England finished with a better score line against Germany. Football had never been a one man game unlike Cricket. Messi is no match against the German forwards . I had correctly predicted that Germany would drub Argentina and it had happened. Argentina is fit only for squeezing hapless teams and making merry out of their mistakes. Against a quality team like Germany, they had lost the plot completely. I really doubt whether they had any plot ?? The Brazilians and the Argentinians are of the same class and these teams should never qualify for Semi / Finals.

July 2 :Brazil were knocked out of the world cup. I cracked the screen 5F2 out of shape.

July 1 :** I AM A PERMANENT EMPLOYEE OF RBS NOW **. Had food in Anjappar with Madhu.

June 30: Still thinking about the Germany Vs Argentina Match !!

June 29:Whatever said and done I looked and behaved like a complete dumber on my way back to home. Arguing with the poor cabie for not taking the service lane looked pathetic. When will I be more proactive ? Felt really while writing this:( Looks like I have chance to host a Quiz with my college friend Vivek.Today was another bad day at the office. Broke my head for a simple problem. God please help think simple and be simple. .Coz simplicity is the greatest sophistication. Hey those are Mr.Vinci's lines.

Today is not a good day at office for me. I took the entire 6 hrs to solve the X Prog error. I just humiliated my self by not initializing the proper variables in the program. Is it just the tip of the Ice berg. Don't Know what holds in store for me. And guess what, Megan Fox is not in Transformers three :(

Day 2, June 28, 2010, Tambaram

2010-06-28T09:59:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I watched one of the Epic Demolitions in the history of the Soccer world Cup. Yes, the final score read 4-1 in favor of Germany. Germany ripped apart England in the round of 16. The wrecker in chief was a 20 year old Attacking midfielder - Thomas Mueller. The kid had the nerves of steel and was involved in three of the four goals that were score yesterday. German National football team is now a force to reckon with. They played better than the Argentineans. Again there were two controversial decisions made by the referee, a Frank Lampard Goal that was disallowed and a Tevez Goal that was allowed. Both of these decisions did not impact the final results of any of the matches. I am looking forward for what many would say as the match of the Tournament, between Argentina & Germany, on next Saturday. I still remember what the Germans did to the Argentinians in 2006. Will it going to be the same story all over ? It is going to be the match between the Argentinians forwards against the German Mid-field. All the best to Oezil and Mueller!! I also watched the flick "The Usual Suspects". Kevin Spacy's performance was rocking. Since the story line was very familiar and screen play was very boring, I could not enjoy the movie. But nevertheless the film is a Classic. Kudos to Spacy.

Today was very dull day at the office. I spent most of my time figuring out what problem to solve, rather than solving the problem. I think I am nearing 70 % completion of my application. Lets hope I solve the mysterious error in the screen "513" tomorrow. Today I enjoyed a chocolate which has Tequila and Margarita filled in it. The chocolate and the liquor combination tasted delicious.
I had a talk with Harmith Kaur - an investment advisor from RBS. She was pretty and I enjoyed the conversation with her. I was really irritated today when an unknown fucker argued with me saying "I would be dropped home Last". I would have shoved him in his ass for his sarcasm. The only thing I learnt from the mother fucker was that he was proactive even though he was sarcastic. That is one way of solving very huge problems very early. Hope I realize this fact one day. Until then have a good night & sleep tight. See you tomorrow !!

Day 1, June 27, 2010

2010-06-27T05:50:00.001-07:00

I have been thinking to do this for quite a long time. Yes, use my blog as my Personal Diary. Using this as a vent to let out my emotions. Two events inspired me to take this decision. One, Amitabh Bacchan 's Blog and two, my unrelenting quest to improve my English language skills. Instead of boring everyone with the rationale behind my choice, I would rather blog upon the events that appealed me this week.

Undoubtedly, the hottest topic would be Mesut Ozil. Who is this fancy kid? What is he doing in the heart of the well-oiled German Midfield Machinery in this Soccer World Cup? That was a lame question isn't it? I was of the opinion that the German National Football team(Die deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft) was powered by Ballack and Schweinstieger in the midfield. Thunderous strike aginst Ghana from the Werder Bremen marksman made me change my ideology. What a Talent !! France and Raymond Domonech sucked once agian. Italians never settled even against unkown footballing nations. It is a shame that they have the best club footballing team in whole of Europe at this moment - Inter Milan. I feel that the world cup would still continue with the same vigor and passion even without the presence of France and Italy in the round of 16s. Another biggest mystery is Spain. They were named as the tournament favourites along with Brazil. Still they managed to loose a game against Slovenia. All the predictions are being thrown out of the window. My bet would be on Argentina. Lets hope that Messi will truly be crowned the King of the World and Maradonna runs naked in the centre of Buenous Aries City.

Taken. This week-end I had the oppurtunity to watch Liam Neeson in TAKEN. A heart-wrenching story in which Neeson's Daughter gets entangled into a prostitution web in France. How Neeson saves her daughter is the story line. Liam does a pretty decent job portraying an ex-marine and the film is more than watchable. But the scenes featuring the brothels in France run by Albanian Immigrants will surprise everyone. The Albanians who work in the construction sites in french downtown, would kidnap young girls, drug them and force them into prostitution.The brothel resembles much like a tent theater with lots of screens and beds. How could a developed country like France allow such a criminal activity ? A must see film to know about the dark side of Paris.

Concurrency in DB2. There is a Db2 transaction which resolves the concurrency issues in case of a Deadlock. This transaction kills any one of the two tasks involved in the deadlock randomly and resolves the deadlock. The beauty is that this Deadlock resolver is a transaction which sleeps and wakes up after the specified interval. Amazing isn't.

Need to wake up at 4:30 tomorrow...

A Flash of Genius

How many of us stumble upon an idea / flash of Genius while opening a bottle of Champagne ? How many of us ever dreamt of standing before a Jury and fighting a legal battle (all by your own) against the big three of Detroit ? See Robert William Kearns doing that in Flash of Genius. Amazing movie .. Truly Inspiring !!

Informant

2010-04-19T11:12:00.000-07:00

I never knew the same corn starch which is used for thickening the soup can be used for fattening Chicken or a Shrimp. The only difference is. in case of the latter, Lysine an amino acid from corn is used for that purpose. The same Lysine can fatten the purse of a certain individual named Mark Whitacre by 11.5 million dollars. That is what the story - Informant is all about. An ambitious Cornell pass out, trying to re-write his own destiny and ending up in a federal prison for 8.5 years for charges on embezzlement. Great acting by Matt Damon. By the way I did learn the meaning of the word 'Kugelschreiber'( It means pen in German :) )

I am Game !!

2010-04-19T10:54:00.000-07:00

After a long break I played cricket at the Somasundaram Ground in T.Nagar. My statistics - Got 4 Wickets & scored 4 runs. I was completely exhausted at the end of the game and I looked something like this !! I still feel the intense pain resulting from that game :)

Demigod ~ An Addiction

2010-04-14T11:34:00.000-07:00

I have not been into serious gaming for quite sometime after the Age of Mythology. But the new game from Stardock - Demigod almost caught me off gaurd. Initially the game starts very monotonously and it has got no great eye-candies to attract serious gamers(except for the Rook !). We easily tend to get the impression that this game would be a Psychopathic massacre, killing innocent soldiers. But that is not the case. This is a strategy game similar to the Age of Civilization / Mythology. The Primary target would be to conquer the enemie's Citadel. For which we can forge alliance with the demigods. There are some uber cool upgrades for the levels we reach during the game. This game is keeping me totally occupied :)

P.S. I am slowly getting addicted to the game

A Venkat Prabhu Holiday !!

2010-04-14T11:03:00.000-07:00

That was the perfect description of Goa. Jai ran riot with his Tanglish. His acting with Pia Bajpai was Estrardianry. Vaibhav,Arvind Akash and Sampath made Goa a hilarious concoction.

But the real star is Premji Amaran. His caveman hair & beard was analogous to Sebastian Chabal of Sale Sharks. His duets and romance with Melanie Marie Jobstreibitzer was extremely funny. The movie is a 5 starer .

P.S. - Melanie you look awesome :)

Old Dogs Rock !!

2010-04-14T01:25:00.000-07:00

This year on Tamil New Year's day I had the opportunity to watch one of the best comedy films of the year 2010. Yes, Old Dogs - A walt disney movie indeed Rocks. It was really sad to see Robin Williams looking like a grand pa. But both John Travolta and Robin Williams were incredibly funny and it really deserves five stars. Man! it is a must watcher and it truly follows the Pineapple express and hangover lineage. Hail Old Dogs !!

A Betrayal..

2010-03-20T12:04:00.000-07:00

There are certain things that i am going to take with me to grave. Work experience in ML is one of them. I was a vagabond before joining ML. ML transformed me into an IT professional. All the kudos goes to one woman - SUDHA. How do I return the favor ? A shameless betrayal. I broke the trust she had on me by quitting ML. This betrayal will remain in my heart as long as I live. No amount of tears can ever wash away these wounds.

!! I carry these scars and I walk alone !!

In '2' days time , my old Chinese sogo mobile was replaced with N73. And my first mobile phone is replaced by Nokia 5610 Music Express. What the Hell! Am I blowing money unnecessarily. I am not sure what I am doing is correct. The Time goes on... And I have not even started on my CAT preparation... Still Uncertain about the future... What the hell .. No Singapore chances are clicking also .. What the Hell ... And another Year almost passed just like that and I am typing all these things the day before Diwali 2008 ( Listening to Om Shanti Om Dastan Song )... All my Juniors have gone onsite and is this what they call as Luck.. Will I be settled if I go and earn in Onsite... Do I need to have higher Management degree. Will I be left like the millions of IT professionals in India... How Long will this IT boom will be there in India... If this bubble breaks where will I be left stranded ? Most pf my friends got settled in life ??? When will I be settled in life ?? When can I crack the CAT ? When will I be independent ? How many questions do I need to answer to settle in Life ... Just tell me what is the cut off that I need to attain to settle in Life .. When Will I construct a house for my ailing parents ? I am not able to see them suffer right before my eyes ? Do I really need all these celebrations , festivities and gadgets to make my self appear as settled ? I still cannot forget the 6000 for gate ad 18000 for CAT... Should I always suffer being born in a middle class ? Or Should I suffer by being an underachiever through out my life ?

God Please Help Me...

I usually avoid seeing movies during week-day nights after office hours. Reason . Next day work . But I took a chance watching a 3.5 hour Marathon movie called Jodha Akbar. One word to describe the movie. Awesome. Probably you will hear the same comment from me even for a Box-Office Bomb :). But man !, Ashutosh is a Genius. After watching the movie I really had to break many of my wrong notions . Jalaluddin Mohammed is a True Hero. Put your selves in the shoes of an illiterate ruler who had to deal with more enemies within his own camp rather than outside. A Betraying step-mother ,a lunatic brother-in-law and a truly loving wife. Man ! deadly concoction. A.R. 's music casted a spell on me , from which I would guess I need a life-time to relieve from.Jodha Akbar ranks third in my all time favorites after Black and Beautiful Mind. Am I acting too fast again ? ? ? Kehne ko jashn e bahara hain . . .

I hate Orkut

2008-03-09T07:43:00.000-07:00

Personally I have nothing against orkut. But rarely would have Orkut Buyukkokten have thought that this excellent community network would some day become a tool for those egoistic bastards and bitches to show off their inflated egos on the net. What do i mean ? Updating the profile with a weirdo name illustrating idiotic feelings. Worst of all is updating photos with show-off poses in exotic locations and leaving the photos tab unlocked. What can we do about this ? ? ?

The Year that will be - 2008

2008-03-02T10:34:00.000-08:00

The other day I was browsing through my earlier blogs just to check what have I done for the past four years. To be frank not much of an improvement. The same stammer in English, but got a bit techie ( Copied the word 'stammer' and pasted in MS Word to check the spelling). I would say the thought process as far as English is concerned has really become a barrier for me to publish the blogs. I am still hoping that some day I can master this beautiful language.

Well after going through my previous blogs , one question that I can ask my self , what have I done meaningfully for the past four years. Completed my Engineering , got me a job ( infarct 2 ) , put on 2years and six months of experience as a mainframe professional, aped some great quizzers and bright minds , humiliated myself by not writing the CAT and GATE, ( skipping CAT hurted me more), grown a belly as big as a tiny pot, skipped Gym sessions regularly, tried to impress many girls and failing, diagnosed with a congenital minor heart irregularity and the list goes on.

Now with lots of comforts ( should I say necessities) N72,3120,Coby,Kingston,Broadband,A DVD Player,3.1 sound system, Credit Cards , Cricket Matches through satellite television life seems to be moving at a cool pace for me. But is this what life really is ? Though I may sound a bit philosophical( Not even logical :) ) , I find that I have really lived and enjoyed my life and I have come to the stage where I can say IT QUITS !! if it is going to be the same for another 2 years.

For 2008 , I think I have some very good plan for the year. Though most of the times I end up failing to reach half of what I have planned, this time, even if I were to achieve half of what I have planned, then it would be a great success for me. First to go , is to improve my language skills .English is the language which I love the most. It would be truly unjust if I am not fluent enough by the next time when I see this blog. I am planning to read,listen,see and assimilate some good stuff to improve my knowledge. I really have some very bad habits my ego, fear of loosing out to an opponent, not acknowledging a genuine good work, pretending to act in a very rapid pace thereby projecting an image as if I am comfortable under extremely hard circumstances and above all - Laziness.

Lets see how things roll out in the near future.And by the way the whole post has to me renamed as a 'A Naked Self Confession rather than My plans for 2008 ', Bye. .

Brisbane here we come !!!

2008-03-02T10:04:00.000-08:00

First of all it was a famous victory for India at the Sachin Cricket Groud (SCG) in Sydney in the best of three Commonwealth Bank Series.

Brisbane here we come to get the Silver Ware !!!!!

God! Sunday Nov 18, a day which I will remember for rest of my life, the day when I wasted 6 months of all my hard work,the day when I had to shamelessly bunk the CAT exam, the day when I had to shamelessly hide from my friends, the day when I betrayed all my family's hope. What have I done to deserve this - God!

Am I a part of it ?

2007-11-16T12:03:00.000-08:00

The most gruelsome sport on earth. Dislocated shoulders , broken jaws and fractured spine are part and parcel of the game. Rugby did catch my attention. Instead of players , the sides have warriors ( Chabal indeed is one !) and the game looks like no less than a battle. By winning the World Cup Springboks certainly made their nation proud. Go Amabokoboko!

A Fishy Issue

2006-04-16T03:44:00.000-07:00

Of late , I have begun to listen lots of Tamil and Hindi songs (not that I do not listen them before !!! ). One thing stands out common through out India - " PEOPLE NEED SOME CHANGE" ( yo ! give them ... ) . The last thing that we need in the Tamil or Hindi film is a copied version of an English Number!! Recently I saw a song from a Tamil Movie called " CHITIRAM PESUTHADI ". This song describes about an imaginary marriage that take place in Sea between Two Fishes. The song had a dangerous combination of Glamour ( Sultry Malavika ), Gana ( South Indianised Rap ) and Gana Ulaganathan - A one finger wonder ( yeek !! not the middle one ). The Result - " An absolue Dynamite ". Every T.V. Channel, every coffee shop, every radio station, every corporate buses play this song. Even some "Film Review Sites" talk more about this song than the film.It is common that we see a song being so popular in Tamil Nadu.... But check out this one is here to stay longer ..... People wake up !!!

WoW "Team India"

2006-04-16T00:30:00.000-07:00

The home series against England has been a walk in the park again for "Team India". The team had lots of positive outcomes from the recently concluded series. Powar and Uthappa being the greatest finds. Again the responsibility shown by the youngsters like Srishant and Dhoni are truly remarkable. All these makes "Team India" a Favourite for the The World Cup . The Jubiliant Indian Cricket Team with the TVS one day trophy. . This has been one of the humiliating defeats for the ashes winning England . The injury prone England Team has to blame themselves for this poor performance.

ENGLAND 'S WOO CONTINUES

Hello every one, there are some events in the world that goes unnoticed. We need to be extremely careful in such situations and must always be alert to look out for the signs. This is exactly what Microsoft is doing right now ?? Well why am I talking crap here? Now coming to the point.

The story unfolds like this.
Time : Morn. Location : SantaClara Valley.

Senior Technical Manager: ...."But that is my decision.."

Steve Balmer: " I can offer a better compensation package than them ".

Senior Technical Manager: " .....The decision is entirely based upon the career prospects andjob enrichment "

Steve Balmer: (Angry) "...I have done this before.I will kill them.I will do it once again.............."(Throws a steel chair at the STM)

Six Months Later

Location : SC valley.

The court verdict : Its up to kai Fuu Lee to decide whther he wants to remain in Microsoft or not.But the joining date for the new job has to be postponed by atleast another six months.

Hey friends we are not reading a novel wake up! So what was the reason for the above two cases .The answer is simple six letter word which is soon going to shake the world and Microsoft out of its top positon.You must have got that by now.Yes its- "google".There is a tremendous attrition rate among the Microsoft employees and where do these people join??The answer is google.With its founders into top 20 places in the forbes 100 and the company increasing its fortunes seven folds every thing is possible for google. Microsoft has prepared the threat list for the year and who stands on top no doubts its -google again.

So what made google so famous.Every body think that google is just a search engine and nothing has come off from google labs except the famous page-rank algorithm. That is an absolute wrong misconception .The headlines every where today is "Abdul Kalam Opposes Google ?" .But why?the reason being their new satellite imaging software called the google earth.Which gives out an almost picture perfect view off the landmarks from the space.The reward which they got from the Indian President - "The Tool Which would help the Terrorists".Moving on to the mergers that they have made it seems that google is soon set to be the king of the net world with the wide variety of products ranging from google maps,google earth,gogle print,google blogger,picasa,flickr,google adds,google talk.........

Again this was what exactly predicted in the Microsoft's Think tank Ten years Ago when one of the executives said that " Microsoft cannot enjoy the leadership by just suppliying the desktops ".Microsoft needs to be there on the net too.But Steve Balmer ignored that and did get a short term success by ignoring the reality.At that time the only threat that Microsoft ever faced was from Netscape which was ultimately bought down by Microsoft.So Microsoft enjoyed the leadership for 10 years and now the same nightmare had started haunting Microsoft in the form of Google.But this time its too stronger for Microsoft and certain reliable sources say that google is bulding a linux supercomputer with which you can boot the system thru phone and internet,So why do you need an operating system installed on your hard drive when its available at the time of booting from the net.If this is going to happen then why do you need an expensive O.S. ????? So its crunch time for Microsoft , Other wise " DAVID IS GOING TO SLAY THE GOLIATH AGAIN !!!!!!"

Hello Friends I am really worried about this man captaining India in the future.After an open rift with Indian coach ,Ganguly did make an eventful century against an unknown oppositon.But my gut feeling says that he would take India to dogs if he is allowed to captain the team in the future.After reading the six page e-mail by Greg every bit of what the coach said seemed true.I did expect shutters down for the poor fellow ,but he escaped. This shows that BCCI is not in complete control of the situation at all ,right from the mumbai press conference to settling the rift between the coach and the captain ( where a magical comprise was deviced to fool the public ! ).Let's atleast pray that India doesn' get relegated to the level of underdogs!!!!!.

THE NEXT BIG THING

2005-09-22T11:42:00.000-07:00

I think probably after the introduction of the Walk man the most popular thing that has captured the imagination of the man kind is the new cool creepy little thingy called the ipod.Suddenly every soul on this God's green earth wants to own an ipod.Well to tell you the truth the ipod is an excellent mixture of creative engineering combined with its simple to use "turn disc" . And you can Always expect that from the master of his trade "STEPHEN JOBS".Steve jobs has always been a creator ,that too delivering insanely great products with "out of the box" imagination at an affordable price.Finally to give a twist in the tale he now has a leadership in tune download that makes him doubly dangerous and what more can we expect from this balding CEO of the apple corp.The ipod has already the next big thing beating the rest of the competition by head and shoulders.So Watch out and grab your latest ipod nano to keep u rocking for 10 hours non stop!!!!!!!!!

Roger Federer " The Phenom "

2005-09-21T10:46:00.001-07:00

The man is really unbelievable.Absolutely composed and cool in each and every match that he plays.To tell you all frankly the man is playing in his own league and there is no competition for him at all. If at all he loses,it is not because of the opponent ,Its because federer wasn't up to the mark.It's thoroughly humilating for any player to lose to an opponent for 7 and 9 succesive times.It is the situation with A-Rod & Leyton Hewitt.It shows the ruthlessness of the man.Many persons say that Tiger woods , Micheal Schumacher, Micheal Jordan and the Australian Team are Phenoms in their own Field. But its really amazing to see a person like federer who comes back at the opponent every time and thrahes him.Continue the great Work!!!!!

Finally "The Day" has come.

I am looking forward for tommorow very eagerly.Because tommorow is the day when I am going to join one of the major software companies in Chennai. Actually my parents were really eager and enthusiastic abt the job.I have been appointed as the application program developer trainee. Many of my friends say that I would be trained in the Mainframe Technology.O.K. Every thing said and done , a lot of preparation need to be done as I ' ve been asked to report with all the documents. So I need to take lots of Photo copies.And I am hoping that every thing wud work out perfectly with God 's Grace.

Windows 98 is a big pain in the ***

2005-09-10T10:52:00.001-07:00

Enough is enough. I had lots of trouble after installing the win98.The reason every one tells is that "dude you use the internet on 98 and that 's the reason.....".come on cut the crap.
Well every second month i am afraid that my windows would crash again.Recently my system crashed and I can explain you all that ive did and you cud just figure out how fragile the windows 98 is.Forunately i have dual boot and have not experienced a single crash in the winxp.(probably im not using that os as exensively as the 98).i just installed the BLC ( brian lara cricket - 05 - which was a demo version any way).and i chose not to restart the system and then as usual i uninstalled few other unwanted softwares from my p.c. after which my sister played some songs on the wmp.(windows media player).I turned off the monitor.I was browsing the digit mag and my sister who wntd to study turned off the wmp and shut down the system.Later that night i turned on my p.c. and boom !! the cursor was blinking for a little longer time than it used to load the windows.I smelled a big trouble right away and to my horror my imagination was slowly becoming a reality when i saw the message " Abort disk - Failed/retry" , when i tried to change the drive.Then it was buisness as usual changed the boot priority and then made the windows boot from the cd and ran the set up.But why the hell shud i deal with such a fragile os which tend to loose any one of the three files every 2 months like himem .sys ,config.sys and dgbat.sys. At the begining I used to get frightened as there was not even a clue whthr there was a harddisc crsh or the os crash.Now that , the crash is almost expeced every 2 months i do not bother abt it. Not only in this case , iam experiencing some strange situations with my win 98.The other day i tried to install this game called " the worms" ( or what ever hell does that mean .....).In order for me to run the game in my system my DirectX has to be upgraded.Well i saw that my system was using a Directx 8.1.So i thought i definetly need to have move on from that "stoneage software". First i installed directx 9( not sure whthr it is "b" or "c"). Then i installed the game and then restarted my system.Every thing was fine until the system again took a lot of time to start , i smelled disaster , i wasnt ready for that because i installed the win98 2 days prior to that and there is no way in hell that i am going to sit for another 45 min staring at the blue screen of death.I was very fortunate enough to see the message " WINDOWS IS UPDATING SOME FILES AND IT TAKES FEW SECONDS FOR COMPLETING THE UPDATION". I was very much releived to see that message and suddenly the windows opened without the starting music.Goodness gracious me , my wmp is not playing songs.this time the message was " No Audio Driver Detected". Believe me i was so frustrated that i wanted to remove win 98 from my system right away. i booted my system and loged on to winxp and tried formatting the "C - Drive" which was futile. I tried to calm myself down and again i tried to run the Dxdiag prog that checks for the Directx. To my disbelief DxDiag is not functioning."yes i have found the problem ", i said and then loged on to the web to look for a software which removes DirectX. Fortunately I found a German Software which does the job. I Downloaded that not before trying to load the DirectX8.1 and the Realtek Audio Diver. I busted the Direct X 9 out of my system and then reinstalled the audio driver and the Dx 8.1. and after that every thing seem to fall in the right place.Still I cannot open my Norton Antivirus 2003 which says " A DLL CALLED MSVCP.DLL IS MISSING " and i m not sure whthr my autoprotect is on as i m unable to access the NAV software. But the beauty here is NAV is installed in my win98.Similar is the case with the I.E. 6 which is installed in the sys but i cannot access it. I am really not at all sure what is happening with this win98 and it is similar to the situation " Where a Blind man is walking in the field which has lots of Land mines burried beneath" and can explode any time. I really doubt how Microsoft has become one of the leading Comp. in the world with such a crap which deserves a place in the dust bin for sure. I am eagerly waiting for a new os or an updated version of x.p.( Thinking now , why did i not bought a mac instead of P.C.!!!!!!!)

Loosing Your Identity

2005-09-10T10:52:00.000-07:00

This is one form of the latest identity theft that is happening.So after reading this blog please equip yourself against those malicious hackers.Please do not ever give your password on the net to an unknown person or a website.Reasently I came across a lot of persons who lost their passwords.Please login to your mail id with a care.Make sure you read all the messages that are displayed and then authorize it before login on to your respective email ids.This should save any unauthorised persons getting access to your email accounts.There are three main methods of hacking that are followed all over the world.First is the fooling of the server.this is done by forwarding a mail to a mailing address that virtually does n't exsist.followed by your mail id and your password and the victims email id.I am not sure how the above method would yeild results as the mail wud get auomatically rejected as "failure of delivery".Another method which cud be used for hacking is writing an html code which simulates an error in the login screen , but the un aware user gives his username and the password and accidently also approves the message " YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE THE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT TO AN UNKNOWN PERSON - CLICK OK or CANCEL".So please do not invite a trouble for yourself as there are already lots and lots of people who've lost their identity.The third method of hacking involves getting a hired gun that is a hacker.Hiring a hacker for cracking the passwords seems so foolish , but the hackers had made it a profession and they draw a good sal for cracking the passwords.I recently had an oppurtunity to view a hacker site who calls himself momo where the hacker first asks a person to give his mail id and then the victims mail id.The hacker asks for a two days time and wud forward the victims mail id along with his/her password for an amount of $50.So lots of clandastine activities are going on the net. So eqip yourself and be prepared for such an assault, as getting the information on the internet is just outsmarting the servers and the databases which holds the info and nothing else.

AMERICANS LEFT BEHIND IN THE RACE

I am going to reveal you all one of the most shocking news you ever heard.Can you imagine the country which has the largest technical skill in the world is left all alone in the information highway.Yes it is true,if an incident similar to the july 7 blast in England had happened in America,Then it would have spelt a doom to the country 's image. Because the country is not properly connected through the cellular network.It is impossible for the Americans to dial 911 from the underground train tunnel. As a result of which the rescue work would have been hampered a lot , if such an incident had actually occured in America.As a contrast when you look at the Japanese , they are able to access the high speed internet from a speeding Bullet Train. To Tell you all the truth America is no where in the Top 10 in data sharing and cellular networks. That is partly because of the politics and also because of the geography of the place. But the times are changing , Americans are looking ahead in improving the comm and networks , they no longer depend on the gov. to do this. The people themselves gather money and lay high speed connectivity cables to improve the comm.Right now americans stand at 16 th place in the world of communication inspite of having the comm. giants like AT &T and AOL.

2004-12-19T10:22:00.000-08:00

For the past 2 weeks ,i am facing a lot of embarassments. first i was questioned by a receptionist, "what is your father?",a straight forward answer - a marine engineer.since i joined the computer institute saying my father is a retired person
(really he is )the questioned really bamboozeled me. fearing that they would take back the 500 rupees scholarship if i reveal i am an engineer's son, i started bluffing. my answer was like this " My father helps my mother,a land broker, biochemist ,running clinic in shanmugam road who is retired and staying in house ". shit! what a bad command of the language. then i explained her clearly about my father. still that was unconvincing.
Then i met Mr Mahesh - a technical head DSL who asked " what sort of project are u looking for ?" i took the initiative and explained we want" 20 % hardware ,20 % software and the remaining we can explain to madam" from where the hell the explaining process came i donot know. i was thoroughly humilated but no one recognized this mistake as they carried on with their activity. i felt very bad.
i made my mind to take some positive newyear resolutions which includes not to kill time especially in blogging and not to dream. i am really a great dreamer. i would describe my self as a radioactive dreamer.first i would think of an event in the past then i would connect the people's emotions and reactions to it and then i would assume the role of a super hero ammending the situation. then i would connect all the related events to it and would start dreaming in a chain reaction manner.
the second resolution that i want to take , is to add more intensity & integrity to my character. during the school days i was a person with lots of intensity and instinctiveness.but all of which changed when i joined the college. i became lot more submissive and understated.how can i describe this, is this evolution or degradation? well past is past.
the third resolution would be ,stop watching the television prog.i am watching lots of t.v. prog for quite some time.though they are informative i decided to check them.i successfully stopped watching the t.v. serial called "KOLANGAL".though my family members are still on to it.one of my favourite prog. is the b.b.c. university challenge where 2 teams battle it out for the ultimate quiz glory.
the fourth resolution would be,to increase my interpersonnal skills.i am everybody's nightmare when it comes to conversation.most of the time i would not at all react to other's views , i would quietly turn away or nod , that would be my reaction. i would spend most of my time in analysing what others are thinking and how would they react to the situation rather than responding to their questions. i want to change this attitude not because i have analysed enough, but i want to take the intiative and improve my interpersonnal skills.

my exams

2004-12-17T10:45:00.000-08:00

i have my first project review in just 2 days from today.and believe me i have not collected even the basic(major!) materials for the project review. this includes the title.my semester examinations are just over. the first exam was o.k. then i had my self bamboozled with the environmental question paper.then came the antennas which i think, i wrote quite well. the optical and microwave can be put up in the same category and i wrote them moderately (not too bad & not too good).then came the disaster, the final exam which i think, was one of the worst papers i have ever written.to start with the first question was correct and the 2nd was fully wrong. the third was correct while fourth and fifth were partially correct.only 4 two marks were correct.that was my performance in the recently concluded exams.

Today i got my system fixed by the computer service person.the problem was simple and he just ran the windows set up file from the command prompt.all the problems were solved and the only problem that exists now is that the search of the x.p. is not working properly.my project is sill in the sate of dilemma.the project external guide Mr. Mahesh clearly briefed us that we cannot expect any hardware projects,the least we could expect from DSL was an application project based on ASP platform.i am really frightened about how my department is going to react to such a software project.i already made up my mind not to write GATE specifically for the above reason.the cost for quitting the GATE is 6 grands ( Rs.6000) . well the life is getting really harder for me and i have joined a new course on desk top publishing.i hardly find time to be free inspite of having only two working days.the journey to teynampet daily is taking a heavy toll on me.

GREATNESS PERSONIFIED & MY TOUR DIARY- KOCHIN

2004-12-10T09:14:00.000-08:00

GREATNESS PERSONIFIED
By the way, i had become a regular viewer of the tv channel called discovery travel and living . i was really awe stuck and amazed by the modesty of the man called INDIAN LARRY . he is a great chopper builder . i would call him an ultimate champion. the way he dresses, his belief in god ,his considerations towards his co builders,never say die attitude and meticulous planning had really inspired me.kudos to the great man.

MY TOUR DIARY- KOCHIN
The departure from the central was drama in itself our class sudents (everybody) boarded the allepey express but myself and sundar raman got this crazy idea of ringing to our parents before departure. i call it crazy because , not a single soul was loitering in the plat form.but we settled the difference and ended up in our respective seats wow! the train was so conjested that i thought i would choke to death. fortunately i got a seat near the window.phew! i couldnt open the window ,rain gods were too generous. venket started playing the uno.while i enjoyed the night by peeping out from the speeding train. some of my friends started this game of " FACE PAINTING " . well the after math was pretty hilarious and the poor wash basin had to take in all the colors we reached kochin again damn rains ,no words to describe. but we enjoyed the bus provided to us.then we were accomadated in the hotel called astoria . i still wonder what that name means.then we went around the kochin dock in a ferry. boy! wasnt it breathe taking? i saw a coast gaurd ship(though i have seen some really bigger ships, my father being a marine engg), the whole dock was pretty scenic. my classmates enjoyed to their maximum . we had this competition called ' DANCE TO GET PLACED' ,winner gets placed in a reputed firm .suresh did a good job and got placed.then we went for shopping and i really saw "PAULO COHELO 'S best seller ALCHEMIST " on the shores of kochin.i also visited a perfume store again to my surprise they had " THE COOLWATER " - my favourite perfume. [ hell no ! it is the dubbed indian version ]. after exhuasting myself in kochin ,we visited a temple.the temple was a good 20km from the hotel.so i thought of having a good sleep during the travel.but my friends thought otherwise.it was all calm and quiet till we finished the pooja.after which,during the return journey, my friends wanted to freak out. my god! , i had not slept for over 37 hours still i was made to dance!!!! (first in the ferry and then in the bus ).i planned to dance for an 'EMINEM ' number (quite difficult !). my friends didnt allow that.so i danced for a vijay song.

a day to remember

2004-10-29T04:10:00.003-07:00

yes it again happened for the third time on trot.i was screwed at the last moment. out of the eight shortlisted candidates for TVS ELECTRONICS , i was quite confident of clearing the ffffiiinnnaaaallll hurdle . but couldnt . on top it the bloody hr guy says " you need to be little clearer."who cares. yesterday was one of my worst days ,at first i was rudely woken up by the alarm at 4.00 a.m. then i did a bit of polar graphs for my records.when i was in the college, i came to know that i didnt bring my C book from my home for the interview.then i cleared the first round and went for my lunch and got scoldings from my dean TCP( placement) for not attentive enough.( not eager enough to know the results of 1 round). then it was the time for my favourite round the tech round and apps and i had a cakewalk ( but scored just 49 /90 ) .
then came the h.r. interview . i was the most confident fellow of the lot and to my surprise the hr fellow questioned only on my personal background.then ,finally the results where out & it was the time for the inevitable.
then when i wanted to open my blog window(to write the hell out of it!!) there was a problem in my blog so it didnt open ,oh what a day!problems seemed to continue ,the next day was my mod pracs( today , and i scored a lousy 95 /100 for not doing my practicals properly enough)and a mod microwave exam . well i say i quit.give me a break. see you later

tightening the noose.

2004-10-06T17:16:00.000-07:00

i live in tambaram . there are lots of cattle that could be found on the streets in my place. once i had a chance to see a most bizzare thing in my life!
two calves were tied to a wrecked auto(kailan kadai stuff!) by means of a rope and the most terrifying thing was the rope had a death noose.(one used for the capital punishment - death sentence).a cow approached the two calves and gave milk to one of them. i soon found out that the cow had only one offspring ,the other calf was not its offspring.
the cow thought the other calf could attack its baby so it started pushing the calf.the calf was cornered and the auto tumbled and the noose around the neck tightened .the calf's tounge literally came out and its eyes started to bulge.( O GOD PLEASE SAVE THIS LITTLE FELLOW!!!!!). suddenly a little boy came from no where and freed the calf and loosened the noose.
Phew! that's how close one can get close to death(and then escape!!).
