I'm Alive !!

Mmmmm ... Mmmmm ...
I get wings to fly
Oh, oh ... I'm alive ... Yeah

When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive

...
...

When you bless the day
(When you bless, you bless the day)
I just drift away(I just drift away)
All my worries die
I know that I'm alive

I get wings to fly
God knows that I'm alive ..

[CELINE DION's "I'm Alive" complete Lyrics]

Thiruttu Raascal !!

Following the horrific trend of calling the loved (!!) one as..,

• "Azhagaana Raatchasi" ..
• "Kaadhal Pisaasu" ..
• "Azhagiya Asuraa" ..
• "Saithaane Saithaane" ..

what else, neXt ??

now it's the turn of 'Thiruttu Raascal', song from 'Ajith' starrer the new tamil movie 'JI' sung by 'Shrilekha Parthasarathy & Mano' and music composed by Vidhyasagar.

God Save Tamil lyricists!!!.

Forget it!

An interesting point from Tom's 60 TIB's (This I Believe), here's that,

Visa founder Dee Hock said it best: 'The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get the old ones out.' Every enterprise (and every individual) needs a formal (written, for starters!) Forgetting Strategy. We must be as forceful and systematic about identifying and then dumping yesterday's baggage as we are about acquiring new baggage.

(Message: Learning = Easy. Forgetting = Nigh-on-impossible.)

Blogging from Ranjith's 'DELL Laititude D600' Notebook in Mannaar's palace Balcony .. Cool & RelaX .. The Great (Is't so ??) SUNDAY Evening .. nice soft breeze here now ... (but, notebook is little bit hot !!)

Vomit earns the coveted Compendium Award for 'worst product name' of the day [link].

Seems that Vomit was released loongtime back in the year 2001 itself, but as VoIP deployment and security are getting hot now.. Vomit comes in news again .. yes,

"Siemens have been telling hundreds of telecoms and IT specialists the ways criminals steal packets of voice data from converged and data networks, so they can eavesdrop on corporate calls. These VoIP attacks are often enabled by a free download known as Vomit, designed to convert IP phone conversations into a wave file that can be played with ordinary sound players" .. [news]

Estonia e-republic !

"People like to say, don't touch things that work, but Estonians like to look behind the thing and wonder whether there's anything we can change about it. In Estonia you might say, if it works, you can break it". Really amazing !!

"If It Works, You Can Break It" , Cover Story from Forbes.com

>> Since independence in 1991 little Estonia has used a knack for technology and a ravenous appetite for change to make itself a largely wired e-republic.

>> Estonians did much of the software programming and development for the Soviet space program, not to mention the KGB. The Soviets placed one of their most important centers of AI research near the capital city of Tallinn.

>> Internet and mobile phone usage per capita, for instance, is high. Over half of all Estonians now pay for their street parking spaces automatically, using their mobile phones. According to the latest figures 52% of Estonians use the Net regularly.

>> The government runs its Thursday-morning cabinet meetings on computer, and it is close to doing away with paper altogether. Sessions that used to take most of a day now take half an hour as ministers politely tap out their comments instead of grandstanding. Next year the official record of government business will no longer be printed on paper, except for a single copy for the archives. It will exist solely on the Web. "If the Internet was reborn as a country, it would be Estonia," United Nations Development Program administrator Mark Malloch Brown has said.

The article concludes on a note that the reserved nature of Estonian hold them back from promoting their economy and own brand of innovation. Perhaps that's why people so keen to talk about the little country that could. Because it has, in its own small way.
