Do Dooni Chaar

Not every film I watch inspires me to write a blog about it(though i try hard to), but this movie was different. All the movies I have been watching quite recently are good / excellent only because of contributions from technical departments in form of huge sets or extra-ordinary cinematography...
Unlike the stereo types DDC banks on human emotions, which everyone of us has confronted one time or the other in our life. The depiction of India Middle-Class is done amicably. Hats-Off to the casting director for selecting Rishi-neetu as the protagonists."Natural Actors" - is what they are in the movie.

I can't think of a section of audience(atleast in India) who wouldn't like this movie.

DOWNLOAD/STEAL/BORROW/BUY - Choose any of the above but do watch this movie.

MEDIA, SHOPPING and GANDHI

Only yesterday i was discussing with my teammates abt MEDIA's Social Responsibilities and I took media's side saying that "If you own a TV Channel, you would exactly the same they are doing".
Which pops up a question "Does a business have to be responsible?" The debate can go on and on , landing up at the inception all over again.
My take is Everybody has to be responsible irrespective of what you do.Having said that if so is the case its a HAPPY world, which is too much to ask.
So it urgeas us to lower the standards and comes to a scene where in we demand RESPONSIBILITY from BUSINESSES with an IMPACT.Unquestionably MEDIA is one among them.

I was not moved when my colleagues was taking on MEDIA on Ayodhya Issue, bcos Indian Youth has matured alot and have their own opinion and feelings about religion. Its hard to provoke youth these days considering the fact that every one is busy with their own life and they haven't got enough time in communal riots. They dont get easily carried away by bloody politician's sayings like it used to be in 90's.

I'm a whole lot disappointed today than yesterday.Reason, being GANDHI JAYANTHI i only got to see GANDHI in the third page of TOI. What happened to the notions and principals of GANDHI "FATHER OF THE NATION". Our ver own media which blasts CORRUPTED POLITICIANS, IRRESPONSIBLE CITIZENS for not taking the footsteps of GANDHI has gone out of control.

No,Seriously. Its a pity that our FATHER OF NATION could not find 4X4 space in TOI front page, where in Australian's captain Pointing's altercation with Zaheer is a hi-light. All i could see today in NEWS is DISCOUNT DHAMAKAS and LUCKY DIP SCHEMES by the Future Group.I remotely remember readin any NEWS. It was discounts and sales every where. How is it say easy for the marketing guys of the big cos to fool around people. The catch is they are just not fooling the AAM ADMI. Its the educated population of INDIA they are fooling.Why is that everybody is loosing their COMMON SENSE?

Looks like "Mr. Kishore Biyani"(titled:The Retail King of India) is the man who seems to have been using his grey matter to work.How is it that he is making so much of profits even after a new DHAMAKA DISCOUNT SALE every week?(not BIG BAZAAR alone but across all his brands).

Will we ever get redeemed of these RETAIL MANIACS?

Finally I have decided to piss on The Times Of India for showing no respect at all to the great man on his b.day.

LOVE

Being in LOVE is a different feeling altogether. You shed all your inhibitions and start being youself,as u no longer need to impresss every single girl u come across. You have already been liked by a person "THE WAY YOU ARE",boosts ur confidence proving "YOU ARE NOT A COMPLETE ASS AFTERALL".

Other advantages of LOVE is CREATIVITY. You start coining alot of words . CHUNNU , MUNNU , DUMBO , SWEETIE , CUTIE , SONE , MONU , PAPPU and likes...

All of sudden my girl has become a "CREATIVE HEAD" of our relation ship and right now at her best LINGUISTIC competencies. The other day my girl was calling me a BOOKAHOLIC.
Reason:- I was in LANDMARK going thru books, which are not even remotely of my interests, whn am supposed to be talking to her(Which has become unavoidable these days).

Moral:- LOVE IS SOME THING EACH ONE OF US SHOULD EXPERIENCE.

Catch :- wen ur single all u see is happy couples n wen ur in a relationship all u see is happy singles.


PS:- DO watch the movie "500 DAYS OF SUMMER" irrespective of ur relationship status as thr is sum thng for everybdy in tht.

"DEVELOPING" INDIA

Old Story:

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool
and laughs dances plays the summer away. Come winter, the Ant is warm and
well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the
cold.



New Indian Version:


The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool
and laughs dances plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands
to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others
are cold and starving.


NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper
next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with
food.


The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor
Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?


-Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.

-Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that

-Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter .

-Mayawati states this as 'injustice' done on Minorities.

-Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for
not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

-The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the
Grasshopper (many promising Heaven & Everlasting Peace for prompt support
as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) .

-Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for 'Bengal Bandh' in
West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

-CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in
the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and
Grasshoppers.

-Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway
Tains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.


Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act'[POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the winter.

Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in Educational
Institutions in Government Services.

The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left
to pay his retroactive taxes, it's home is confiscated by the Government
and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV, BBC, CNN.


Arundhati Roy calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'.

Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'.

CPM calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden'

Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.

Many years later...



The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar

company in Silicon Valley,



100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere

in India ,



...AND



As a result of losing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the

grasshoppers, India is still a developing country...!!



I have no idea from whose creative mind this has come out, but this

piece of writing is awesome.

CITY OF JOY

For the last few weeks I have been desperately waiting for April 2nd, the day when i'll be released one and a half year of apathy caused from me staying away from home.
But thinking soberly, I realised that i'm gonna miss a lot of fun and joy that Kolkata has offered me so far.
I'm not able to decide whether it is because of people around(my roomies and friends)/ uniqueness of the city that contributed to a wonderful and joyful stay
here in kolkata.This city is definetly lively and buzzing all the time.I'll miss the happy weekends i had going around with friends for sure. A big big thanks to all the people who has been showing extreme concern and effection towards me. You were there for me when i needed u the most, after a rediculous and disgusted working day u guys always welcomed me with a effectionate smile which made me forget all the shit at work and made my life rejuvenated every day(one of the many advantages u gain staying with elders). Every day was happening for me with all the stuff we chit chatted from all our work places and time we spent looking at the shallow skies in summer nights in our garden are all unforgettable.

Shiva,Madhu,Dheeraj,Anup,Kiran,Lok,Kishore,Dharmi,Sagar,Lakshmi,Prakash,Sandeep,Satvik,Manoj,Asif,Srikanth,Vamsi Thanks a million to all you guys(sorry if i miss somebody) and keep rocking as usual.

United Andhra

What has been happening in ANDHRA from last one year is only distrubing and discouragive. An ASS***LE can only commit sucide for seperate TELANGANA. How do people in 21st century fall so easily for these politicians. I dont find much difference in todays seperatists and the erstwhile British. Both of them follow the same concept : "DIVIDE AND RULE".

Guys this is our time to reach and educate all these maniacs and let them see that facts and not be HUNKY DORIES of the seperatists.

BLOG , MAIL , SMS , CHAT all for the development and unity of ANDHRA PRADESH.

Dont be a fool by being a seperatist , try to learn the advantages of UNITY.

Indian Politician

Just jotting down my thoughts on Indian politics and politicians. I had an idea of tweeting this but thought blog would be better in case i want to add few other things in the process.I read this column of Shashi Tharoor a few years back on Indian Politician and criteria for Indians in selecting their leader.
The expectations of an Americans for their leader are as such:
'He/She should be having a clean record, should be loyal to his family(mean not divorced/have any extra marital affairs even though most of the americans have),Should be competent enough for his/her role'.

Coming to the criteris of Indians:
'He/She should be famous/atleast be in NEWS all the time,Should have been to jail atleast once, Should be caught in a scandal/scam , Should be competent enough at abusing other party leaders and important of all he/she should be CORRUPTED'.

Sad, but that is what works here. Alot has been already told and filmised about an Indian Poltician, but I dont blame them for the trickles. I hope the society realises the fact that its up on us to elect clean and clever politicians.

As I said at the beginning Politics is a never ending topic especially in India. Have to say any furthur, you are are welcome to do it through comments.

ANDHRA BURNING

Whom would you blame for the current fiasco/havoc (what ever you want to call it ) in ANDHRA? I can only think of two options

a) The witch at the centre

b)The pimp in the state.

c)All The Above

No points for guessing, its C(All The Above).A state which was until now known for farming, quality education and IT etc... is now fuming with hatered and lost brotherhood.

You call it the incompetency of the Witch / puputness of the pimp their failure of handling a maniac called KCR has lead to the current situation. Who is gaining from all this only a handful of idiots who are shot to fame in this plunder.

I bet a million dollars on Congress , that it will not let TELENGANA seperate. Then what is this whole drama around??? Yes again no points for guessing that its because of inability of the Indian National Congress(INC) which ruled INDIA for more than 50 years and should completeley take the onus of our failure.

Among all this mess what can an AAM ADMI do, He can only wait for a SERENDIPITY.

BLUE

The movie does not engage the audience at all. Why would any one want to spend 200 bucks to see their favourite actors just spilling the dialogues only for the sake of telling them with no emotions and all for the wrong script. I'm highly disappointed by the movie and only good thing about it is Rehman's music. If it was not for his music I would not even attempt to watch the movie. I think the main problem is with the casting . Putting Akshay Kumar in character of grey shade and making Sanjay Dutt the lead didnt just gel well. Just swapping the roles of these two actors might have worked atleast to some extent. There is nothing called screenplay and except for some under water shots nothing really astonishes.

My rating: 1/5 (Only for Rehman and Akshay).

IAP UAT Testing

pre lunch:-
The manager recon is completed. Did some major changes to code and added another scheduler for manager recon from a flat file.
Have to check the sanity and have a look at the code.

THE WHITE TIGER

Its been a while since i have written my last post. What made me to put on my thinking caps and write again is this great contribution by ARAVIND ADIGA. I know it's late to write about his magnificent work , but as the saying goes its better late than never.

The man is definitely a white tiger , "The creature that comes along only once in a generation". What is eccentric about the book is not its story but the verve in penning it down. I can surely say that the man has gone through all the stuff mentioned in the book only to come up with such an excellent bookers material. After reading the book I can only say one thing about Indian political democracy

"WHAT A FUCKING JOKE"

LEGAL PROCESS OUTSOURCING

Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) is one of the value added BPO services which involves legal work that companies outsource to more economical offshore destinations. Legal outsourcing has gained tremendous ground in the past few years in the US. LPO firms, primarily from India, have had success by providing services such as document review, legal research and writing, drafting of pleadings and briefs and providing patent services.

Legal outsourcing consists of various processes which can be classified into low skilled quantitative tasks or high end qualitative tasks. Low skilled quantitative tasks includes paralegal services and legal coding, corporate secretarial services, legal memo development, transcription, document management, litigation support and data entry. High end qualitative tasks include intellectual property rights (IPR), patent search and application drafting, trade mark and copyright registration, legal research, document review and analysis and intelligence services.

HELL NEXT DOOR

Though my writings in this blog had been seldom for a while the situation that forced me to jot down my thoughts is the increasing war hysteria between INDIA and PAKISTAN. You call it destiny or fate but not every country has a neighbor which is blind to reason and raging with anger. Given the economic situation of the world a war between the countries would cost dear for both and make the situation lot worse.
It is estimated that USA had spent more than a trillion dollars on IRAQ war. That's a lot of money and the hit of the recession could be soothed , if the war had not taken place.This has ripple effect on the economies every time.
One should blame PAK's value and Education System besides the Media.This is the same media which blamed MUSHRAF for his autocracyand takes the credit in eradicating the same .PAK media should be ashamed of it self for propaganding decitful stories against INDIA.

Even though I personally like wars I would sit with peace makers now to settle down the heat.
Just for the time being atleast. India and Pak need better economic policies and deterred mindset towards war.

SURYA S/O KRISHNAN

The first half an hour of this movie make you feel that "GOUTHAM VADEV MENON " has striked the right chords yet again teaming up with "SURYA" . The film really entertains in the first half but turns out to be a dud in the second half. In the movie a dialog is "surys u r looking alike a million bucks". Yes thats true.He does look like a million bucks. Surya plays the role of the father and son with ease. Though the movie has less to offer from the entertainment side but turns out to be a feast for hard core surya fans. Harris Jairaj fails to give a complete soothing music but has done excellent work for two tracks in the album.

Overall-2/5. Verdict:watch it if you are a surya fan.

GOONDA "RAJ"YA IN MAHARASHTRA

RAJ THACKERAY aptly fits into a typical bollywood vilon role, literally practising everything they do on innocent north indians in Maharashtra. India is known for its UNITY IN DIVERSITY for years. The attack on bihari students who came to attend RAILWAY EXAM is a clear case of mob violence and denyl of basic fundamental rights to Indians, which is being presented as SUPPORT TO MARATHIS.

Raj should ask himself a question "what happens if everyone started behaving like me and start violence against every marathi living outside maharashtra?".I'm sure the result will be worse than mumbai because people then act in vengence.The solution to this "Employ MNS activists at every rail and bus stations in maharashtra and they themselves beat the students moving out for studies and employement."

" SUPPORT MNS SUPPORT GOONDA POLITICIANS"

How a Solar Lantern Works?

A solar Lantern is made of three main components - the solar PV panel, the storage battery and the lamp. The operation is very simple. The solar energy is converted to electrical energy by the SPV panel and stored in a sealed maintenance-free battery for later use during the night hours. A single charge can operate the lamp for about 4-5 hours.

Grid Computing

Grid computing is a form of distributed computing whereby a "super and virtual computer" is composed of a cluster of networked, loosely-coupled computers, acting in concert to perform very large tasks. This technology has been applied to computationally-intensive scientific, mathematical, and academic problems through volunteer computing, and it is used in commercial enterprises for such diverse applications as drug discovery, economic forecasting, seismic analysis, and back-office data processing in support of e-commerce and web services.
What distinguishes grid computing from typical cluster computing systems is that grids tend to be more loosely coupled, heterogeneous, and geographically dispersed. Also, while a computing grid may be dedicated to a specialized application, it is often constructed with the aid of general purpose grid software libraries and middleware

Green Peace

My friend Teja is the Guest Editor today.I have invited him for the reason that these days he is working on Environmental Issues. We all might have heard the caption "want change then be the change".My friend has done the same thing,he goes to college by bus these days( he used to go on bike) .
If u also want to be a part of change, the best way to start is joining any NGO. Our take is http://greenpeace.org/. The organisation raises voice for conserving our sorroundings and environment.
