Start page - My Home !

Personalized start pages are making a comeback now. Take a look at this list :

• Google Personalized Page
• Microsoft Windows Live
• Netvibes
• Protopage
• Goowy
• Zoozio
• Eskobo
• Favoor and more ..
  

Wow! A lot in this Q !. Mmm, these start pages are all almost looks like My Yahoo which has been around for some years. But, this time these are riding on the AJAX and Web 2.0 (anything hype!!). These start pages are basically a customizable portal where you can drag and drop portlets (it is also called gadgets, widgets...) with AJAX. Looks cool n nice.!! But, all these start pages eats up huge memory ??

You are eager and optimistic today, dear Taurus, which works well with your strong and capable nature. You are likely to find that things at begin to click into place. Something that has been troubling you for some time suddenly becomes clear. What was once a stumbling block is now a mere bump in the road, easily passable. All indications are that you will be successful at whatever you undertake now, so dare to dream big.!!

Thavamai Thavamirunthu !

Thavamai Thavamirunthu, TT (me, never ?) 3 hours and 22 minutes! film directed and acted by 'Cheran', with his uncompromised cinema flying mostly, and appeals as much to the mind as the heart. The film is all about parental care (esp. father-son relationship), love and more realistic stuffs.

>> Watched the film with K & S family, K, B (thx. for booking the tickets), K, F this weekend. Really nice drive in ECR during excellent climate in Chennai (Jus' escaped from 5th innings of the heavy rain, Fanoos ?) ..

>> film shot @ Karaikudi and nearby locations mostly, which includes our Great 'college' (after 'Kandukondein Kandukondein') and hostel too.. Nice memories, while seeing all those places (including the Great College doom, Murugappa Hall, S-gate, etc., etc., ?? ..) with my 'friends' in Big screen !!

>> "yenna paarkirai ?", “unnai saranandathen…” (guess, the CD contains song with female voice, but film features song in male voice) songs are nice to listen ..

>> Raj kiran acted excellently well. That girl 'Meena' (guess), acted well with local slang, mostly funny ;-)

>> lot more in mind .. let me leave that as it is ..!! ??

Attention ???

Came across a nice blog post "Watch and You Will Know" (Attention and Appreciation!!)

Dave Pollard writes in the context of cultural anthropolgy :

I think what most of us want, male and female, human and other, is attention and appreciation. Everything else is derivative of those two things.

It's really all about attention, and paying attention. The attention we pay to others, and that others pay to us, defines us, far more than our appearance or our name. And how can we appreciate what someone (a life partner, a business partner, a customer, an employee, a friend, a foe) is about and has to offer unless and until we pay attention to her, really listen and observe with (as much as is humanly possible) no judgement, no personal filters or frames impeding. And once weve paid enough attention that we really understand that person (or for that matter, that creature of any species), how can we not appreciate her?
...

Things are the way they are for a reason. Watch, listen, observe, pay attention, and you will know that reason. Most genius, most innovation, most emotion, I am convinced, stems from this 'first-hand' knowledge.

This is the skill, more than any other, that I need to learn.

Lara: masterclass

>> It was the "Brian Lara" show all the way at the Adelaide Oval, as he uncorked an innings of stunning class and vintage majesty on the opening day of the Adelaide Oval. His eighth double-century - an unbeaten 202, took him past 11,000 Test runs. and left him just 12 runs away from breaking Allan Border's record for the highest aggregate in Test cricket.

He and Australia's Allan Border are the only players in the history of the game to reach the mark 11,000 Test runs.

>> "Sachin Tendulkar" is poised to become one-day cricket's most-capped player when he plays his 357th ODI against South Africa at Kolkata. He surpasses Wasim Akram who has played 356 ODIs. Cricinfo takes a look at Tendulkar's milestones over the years. (Update : Jus' scored 2 (15))

Mosquito-Fi !!

Mosquito catching over Wi-Fi: The story is a little bit more excited than the reality behind it. The leading manufacturing of automated mosquito-catching devices plans to build a smart network that communicates with 802.11b with a central server that can report changing wind conditions, hardware failures, and conditions unfavorable to mosquito sucking. It?s a vacuum cleaner that omits odors attractive to mosquitos. A note of sanity is cast in the last paragraphs of the story against the $15 million funding the company developing the technology received: better to kill mosquitoes before they breed!

TinyDisk, a complete, shared filesystem built on to of TinyURL. TinyDisk is a program from saving and retrieving files from TinyURL and TinyURL-like services such as Nanourl. It overlays a write-once-read-many anonymous, persistent and globally shared filesystem. Once something is uploaded, only the database admin can delete it. Everyone can read it. No one can know who created it. Think of it as a magical CD-R that gets burned and placed on a network.

If you're not familiar with TinyURL, it's a URL mapping service that let's you create a small, easily emailed URL to replace a long complicated one.

TinyDisk is a demonstration by Acidus. TinyDisk shows that anything that stores anything on the Web can be used to store something else by encoding the something else into the Web-based storage system. In the case of TinyDisk, it's a Web-based file system that slices up a file, encrypts it, and stores it out on TinyURL

Tendulkar sees India home in style, he kept playing his shots, and with Sehwag he got India off to a flier ....

Sachin led India's run chase with his second half-century in the series against Sri Lanka with [70 not out from 69 balls with 4x11] on his 350th ODI ..

trip Kuratha !

Am I travelling a lot now-a-dayz ? May be.!! (even may not?? confusing ..!!) But, not daily or regularly (as like our mrkg. mannaaru's??), but definitely here and there, even with my current working culture. ??

Rite!!. then, What neXt ?? Am I enjoying those trips really ? Again, tough question. It depends !! (mood, thinking, liking ??)...

Guess, have seen the latest "Flickr Dreamz" snaps, in the right side panel ?? Mmm .. the recent trip with my team (first time), which was originally planned to "Top Slip" (trekking !!), which was slipped .. and changed to "Kuratha" (near PARSON VALLEY, Ooty).. this time, didn't eXpect, but really cool & nice memories ! Thx. to my Guyz, who were all behind in arranging this ..

few fotos snapped during that trip are there in Dreamz Flickr "tripkuratha"!!

Here's the comment from "Siva" about the trip,

Its been a fantastic tour at PARSON's VALLEY and we enjoyed a lot in the those days...

[...] Bathing in the lucid steam.. Really cool ..
[...] Trekking under the moonlight,
[...] Panoramic view at Western catchment,
[...] Campfire past midnight... and
[...] the list goes on .... sure will be the nonsuch, nonpareil reminiscence of our life..

Few other interesting things in my memory,

->> Hot Chaya (tea?) while bathing !
->> Isai Ganam by "Sri.., Jegi.., Jerry.." & Brother "Ilaya Deva".
->> Aattam, Attagasam & Amarkalam by "Nimmi".
->> "Shivaji" tree ..?
->> No rain in those rainy days, wherever we were !!.
->> Do you know tamil ?? yes, Read challenging Tamil by "Sri..", includes AV's "Karuvaachi Kaviyam" with the same slang. Good.!! (Hey, It seems like "Junoon" tamil ?? Is't so ? Can I ask the same to Vairamuthu ? ) But, funny stuff was, read " .. Amaithiyindri .." (instead of "Anumathiyindri" ?) @ Avalanche entrance.
->> more .. more ..

Trip starts with Tempo breakdown (puncture!) and ends with Brake failure (finishing touch!). But, returned safely.. (??)

Master Returns !

Tendulkar engineers a rollicking start, yes "Little Master" back in action .. Lovely Half Century !! ...

[SR Tendulkar (not out) 57 (59) 4x7 6x1]

Update : 31.2 : Maharoof to Tendulkar, OUT: got'm! good length delivery outside the off stump, hint of swing, Tendulkar drives away from his body and ends up with a thick edge, Sangakkara dives full length to his right and takes a fantastic catch - end of a wonderful innings

[SR Tendulkar c Sangakkara b Maharoof : 93 (96) 4x9 6x2]

Anyway, fantastic return by Master .. eXpecting to continue the same in coming matches ..!! India 350/6 with "Captain Wall"s knock of 85(of Jus' 63 balls) not out.. amazing !!

Airports in India To Get Free Wi-Fi

The story is that all Indian airports will have free Wi-Fi to keep India technologically on top:

The two articles referencing this are both a little vague about what?s precisely happening. Several airports in Tamil Nadu now have free Wi-Fi according to this article; another article from India suggest airports throughout the country will add it.

But, somebody mentioned in his blog like "...it might be an error in word choice, and they meant through the Tamil Nadu state..." Is it so ?

Mmm .. Anyway .. Great INDIA. Can I avail this soon ? Will see. !!

Online Reservation !

Online Seat Reservation for Express Buses in TamilNadu is available now.

Is't so ?? Cool na ..!

Accept no limits

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.-- As A Man Thinketh

You are not limited to the life you now live. It has been accepted by you as the best you can do at this moment.

Any time you're ready to go beyond the limitations currently in your life, you're capable of doing that by choosing different thoughts.

I love the story of George Dantzig that Cynthia Kersey wrote about in Unstoppable. As a college student, George studied very hard and always late into the night. So late that he overslept one morning, arriving 20 minutes late for class. He quickly copied the two math problems on the board, assuming they were the homework assignment. It took him several days to work through the two problems, but finally he had a breakthrough and dropped the homework on the professor's desk the next day.

Later, on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 6 a.m. by his excited professor. Since George was late for class, he hadn't heard the professor announce that the two unsolvable equations on the board were mathematical mind teasers that even Einstein hadn't been able to answer. But George Dantzig, working without any thoughts of limitation, had solved not one, but two problems that had stumped mathematicians for thousands of years.

Simply put, George solved the problems because he didn't know he couldn't.

Crunkie !!

You walk into a Chinese restaurant and your phone buzzes. It's a blog post from a friend with a simple message: Avoid the duck. This is one vision of future blogging from Qualcomm CEO-elect Paul Jacobs, who just stopped by our office. (He's the one on the left in the photo).

This new type of posting is linked to a certain location. It's called a Crunkie. The idea is that you can leave location-based posts in certain places for your friends. And they pop up when your friends appear.

So... Soon there will be no more need to carve messages on restaurant tables or scrawl them on bathroom doors.

The crunkie is the brainchild of Wavemarket, an applications company that Qualcomm has invested in.

That day ends to start another brand NEW Day .. (as usual !!) .. Let's GO (not Alto!!)

One Thing !!

Brand Autopsy has a few excerpts ,

"... Average managers play checkers, while great managers play chess. The difference? In checkers, all the pieces are uniform and move in the same way; they are interchangeable. You need to plan and coordinate their movements, certainly, but they all move at the same pace, on parallel paths. In chess, each type of piece moves in a different way, and you can’t play if you don’t know how each piece moves.

Great managers know and value the unique abilities and even the eccentricities of their employees, and they learn how best to integrate them into a coordinated plan of attack..."

Before reading this, Read Machi's marriage report here ..

Voice of 'Sundeep' :: Ordeal at Trichy Bus Stand ::

On the return trip of about 10 members of the group, with confirmed return tickets on Pallavan (no, it was Guruvayur Express !!).

This confirmed train tickets was done b'cause someone (Huf.. Is't me ???) from the group would only travel by train, perhaps they had forgotten those memorable college days when everyboby used to travel by bus, (PLA, NNL, via trichy etc) .. (You know, I was travelling in PLA only on that Saturday, to & from my home !!)

But unfortunately this confirmed return ticket was for 20th Feb. 2005, 00:30 hrs and we realized that if we were to travel on Sunday (actually Monday!!) 00:30 AM the ticket had to be made for 21 Feb 2005 00:30 hrs.

Thanks to KD (read Jack of all Roses) for having messed all this up to top this all he confirmed me that he had booked the ticket with the right date on it. (follower Ranjith, booked rest of the tickets and so many verifiers!!)

After doing all this the culprit (Chumma da ! Don't get tensed !) had booked a bus ticket for himself thus escaping all the ordeals standing at Trichy Bus Stand at 1:00 Am and trying to find means to reach Chennai. Hadn't he done this his plight would have been totally different.

With no other option left we boarded a ramschackle bus and somehow reached Chennai. (bus, without few windows .. but, ultra-fast and on time)

Well all in all it was a magnificient experience of machi's marriage.

Please do not read in between lines for I don't bear anything against anybody.

Also do not make the same mistake with the date when the time crosses 00:00 HRS.!!!!! (Good learning ! second time .. first one is date .. now time ?? let me see !!)

Machi's marriage !!

After a loong time .. great get together @ a nice function.. Yes, after the last year's Kodai trip, again it was time to meet & share .. now, it was Machi's turn to quit the "GREAT Bachelor" status !!!

This is the first time, I'm posting the messages from my friends directly (as like in Group Blog!, but here on be-half of hem, I myself post here.. here n there edited/aligned few stuff..)

Report By 'Jay' ::

This is a short report on our mannaru group chairman's (Machi-MK) marriage on Feb. 20, 2005 @ Trichy.

The events started with traditional "Ponnu Azhaippu" on Feb 19 Evening and a spl. Pooja @ near by Temple by the couple.

Sherwani !
Originally uploaded by dreamz.

Few of our friends reached Trichy [yes, I too reached on time!] at this time and made their presence felt by Cheering MK who came in "Sherwani" ...

(Shervaani ?? sorry .. if i am wrong.. i am week or weak in english; anyway let it be "vaani")

[Buddy, I know about you da, let's keep it as 'Sherwani']

Post dinner, few of us became Nice Guys and you must have decoded the dialogues that were in air then .....

It was late night 1.00 pm/early morning 1.00 am; Chithu and me started the spl. help on "Thamboola Pai" preparation where in I was slow to open the covers and do a good job. Chithu was at his best ..... (as usual, he's GREAT na !!)

It was almost 2.30 am early morning that we got in to a 'deep' discussion with our Great 'Vacchu' & K(ar)D and by luck we finsihed the same by 3.15 am without conclusion as usual...

[Chithu : Vachuu escaped this time too !! vetti !! but one thing need to appreciate is the changes in KarD, didn't get tensed much and shared many useless things after loong time .. but as usual, there was hot discussion from Vachuu, even sent SMS to me in mid-night about the looong call of KarD .. still .. not answered ???]

At 5.30 am it was a good morning call from Raje, who was in complete formals even while travelling (machi : voon kadamai vunarchikku alave illayada ..?). At the sun rise , it was a time for us to do final make up touches for MK by painting / brushing /.... ( oops ... believe Beautification is a 6000 crore industry as per KPMG and it is toooo skin sensitive !!!!!!!)

[Chithu : Jus' 'hai' to 'Rajee', without even opening the eyes .. then, call from 'anna' .. followed immediately the entry of 'Kathir' .. funny thing .. strong hit on 'Joe', thought it was 'Sarapi' .. Sarapi escaped from Kathir in the early morning.. got ready !]

Time of Good moments :

Don't be hurry to imagine that MK finished the rituals ... It was time for me to finish breakfast... ( he he he he he...) (Dei JK, you have attended so many marriages for sooru da.. don't u have vetakam/ maanam ???) .. (thatz cool comment da machi .. Jay vetti paiya !!)

Around 8.30 MK had another round of Pooja and on return was given a Metti ...

Mannaars & Kids !
Originally uploaded by dreamz.

After the lunch, we (few of us) accompanied the kids to their home and we were impressed by the progress in construction work.

Spl. thanks to Ranjith and Rajmohan who made the journey wonderful for those kids..

Finest moment in Anbagam :

We were just becoming the witnesses of the good work co-ordinated from our Trichy based friends on the construction front.

I am really proud of our group doing such activity for the benefit of people in need.

[I was very much happy to be there with the kids with you all !!]

When we were travelling our "Rajee" was quick enough to realize that the Summer in Trichy is going to be very tough and these kids are going to suffer without slippers ....(on those days we really felt that it is too hot to go out...just think about these kids walking to all places without slippers... Hope you understand the difficulty .... )

'Rajee' made a quck contribution to buy slippers and I promised him that the others --who are all reading this report -- are kind enough to fund to finish the plan RAJE !! , thanks to you again.

Rajmohan & Ramesh : Advanced thanks to both of you to execute this.

So before you wind up this report, Let us soon execute what Rajee has started .
