Yet Another Software Junk | മറ്റൊരു പാഴ്‌ജന്മം

If I were Thomas Alva Edison, you might be still in Darkness.

Yup.. You can add one more to tamil movie fan's count. Yesterday I saw "kana kanden" . A Srikanth , Gopika, PrithviRaj movie. It is OK for a one time watch. PrithviRaj is handling the villain and he done it well. A decent “in-decent” role.
The movie as a whole is far better than compare to new movies in Malayalam. Also it is a motivating kind of thing for tamilians.

May 18th Wednesday
had planned to attend Tanuja's Marriage.( I don't want to miss my friend's/classmate's celebrations.). Got two days leave,But forgot to book ticket earlier. So a journey in local compartment, after almost an year. met a family to Alapuzha with 6year old kid. He might be a good example for proving that TV will make kids more smart as well as naughty. he should be a fan of Rajanikanth, since he made lengthier Rajani style tamil sentences. unfortunately I didn't understand most of them.or otherwise we can make fun on him. Shaji, my roommate was also with me. he slept very early in order to avoid this kid !!!.

May 19th
Reached TDM hall, Kochi at 11am for her marriage. as usual it is the time for "sadya". Marriage fuctions are already over. Dhanush and Raghu did came much before and give much propaganda about my style of attending functions. Usally I reaches the function location at the time of lunch !!! Is it my fault ?? NO ;-) Olny God knows the difficulty to reach the place at least for lunch :-) . for example she had 50 classmate and only 3 could attend the function. And I came from chennai only for this thing!!!! So they must appreciate me , right ?

Returned home with Dhanush, recollected our old days in collage. While in collage at least 4 times I did promised him that I will visit his home soon. still I couldn't make it. But I didn't forget to give him promise that I will visit his home soon :-)))

May 20th.
Played Shuttle after around 2 years with local mates. Even though it was tough for my overweighted body to move around the court, I won 3 games out of 6. Proved still I am fit for fire.
Ohh I nearly forgot to say a word about my brother. that day was his birthday. A "bakery-made" Cake and a "mother-made" biriyani. simple right !!!

May 21st, 22nd sat/sunday
home .. sweet home...
just spend time in home ...TV , movie , pure mallu food and sleeeeeep.

I know...I needn't tell any word about this movie.It is still a evergreen movie!!!! It was released on 1996 if I am not wrong. It ran over more than 150 days in Ragam. But I failed to watch that movie in theater.

Now I Am paying it back. Today I just finished watching the movie for the 25th time!!!!
It may not be a wonder for you since you might have been watched this movie more than what I did.A month before I had read about DDLJ.It says that this movie is still running in some theater in Mumbai. Continuous 500 weeks. and Already beaten the record of "Sholey".

whenever I am watching this movie, I don't want to miss the songs as whole evenafter 25 times.(FYI: Usually I skips the songs whenever I am repeating the same movie). I believe the songs of this movie made it more successful. And of course SRK and Kajol did extremely well.

"bade bade deswam mai asi chotti chotti batti hote rehte hai"

"Aisa pehli baar hua hai satrah athrah saalon mein
Undekha anjaana koyi, aane laga khayalon mein
Aankhon ki khidki par ek sayaa sa lehrata hai
Dil ke darwaze par koyi dastak de ke jaata hai
Gehri, gehri kaali aankhen, mujhse mujhko puchhti hain
Haathon ki rekhaaon mein ek chehra sa ban jaata hai
Uski saansen resham jaisi gaalon ko chhu jaati hain
Uske haathon ki khushboo hai ab tak mere baalon mein
Aisa pehli baar hua hai satrah athrah saalon mein
Undekha anjaana koyi aane laga khayalon mein."

When I got placed in HCLtech, Chennai last year , I had expected this ... But last march was pretty cool... got rain in regular intervals ... I misunderstood the chennai whether. rather I may say 'underestimated the power of hot chennai sun'.

This May is really hot. not even dare to go out of canteen after lunch for a sleep in my room(FYI: it is too near- just 3 minute walk). I am very much fearing that I might turn out to ashes. with comparatively high humidity, the sun makes life more miserable here.

If you were here, You might feel that you are inside a burner !!!!!!

you might think about some nasty thing. but I am going to tallk about something else...About my nose !!!! Big NO .Nothing special I could find in my nose.

about my belly... ???? YUP. what is in my belly ? it is just like everybody's belly. But it was a special one almost 15 moths back. You might feel that it was touching my back bone !!!At that time, even after a heavy meal, my belly did not reflect the matter. My mother always says it was just like an "aalila". May be I got this kind of belly through an inheritance... from my father. Even in his 40s, his belly was like an "aalila". I was proud on my nice behaving stomach.

ahankaram ennallathe enthu parayan !!!!
"Paarambharyamayi kittiyathinne dhaanamayi kandu ahankarichu" ;-) [ contesy to Devasuram]

There is only one thing to blame. I and my profession !!! always sitting, eating, sleeping job. Not even to use head most of the time. being an "oottal" [ service sector] company, I didn't face much tension. No exercise , No physical games !!!
It took only 3 moths for me to get software professional's belly. I must proud of it, right !!!!

Now my belly is touching the wall before my nose touches.

Next Blog : UPS down

it happpened on two days back... I was in a meeting room for a technical training.when meeting was almost over, the light suddenly turned off. So the trainer concluded the session quickly and we came out the room.
We saw an amazing scene.. every body in that floor are standing and talking to the person standing in next cube. At first we couldn't understood, what happened!!!. Then soon we came to know that everybody machine went off. UPS down for a milli second !!!!!

Even we couldn't open the door to go out. Finally we 'escaped' through the emergency door. Next question is where to escape ???/ my machine was also down :-( So everybody came out from their cube and instantaneously we formed a big Q in front of our 'Butterfly' Tea Machine.

It happened on CODC 1 too in the morning. Same thing happened on evening here in CODC 3. The UPS is from the same vendor. Went wrong on almost same time. Is it a co-incident ???

Its a joke cracked today.

After Lunch we some mallu's happened met in my cube. Alex,Binni, Raveesh, Sujith.
Read the talk happed between us.

A:- Manju innu 'B'ye kure kaliyakki. Queen ennu sarikku parayan pattathathinnu.
C:- Avan sramikkanjittalla... parayan pattanjittalle !!!!!
D:- Enthokkeyayirunnu.. Qyuin, qeen, Kueen... Pavam 'B' kure bhudhimutti.
B:- (trying to escape by a usual mallu statement)
Ohh njagal pavangalanne .. enganeyenkillum jeevichu pokkotte.
E:- See.... athannu "poor" English.

Of course .. 'B' is neither I nor Binni.

Y'day Anilkumar- friend of shaji- came to Chennai, for Visteon interview. He came, got-selected, gave party, gone !!! He is a man of good personality, driven by emotions. When I came to know about his past history .I just amazed. "Was" a drug addict !!! married while he had a salary of Rs5000 ONLY in Bangalore. Expert in Hardware. Now he is a father of Amrutha, Going to an employee of Visteon with CTC 5 lakhs.

Today I went to Kumarakam - A mallu restaurant- with Syam. We had called Shaji too. "chidayan" he didn't came. Had a nice meal. Slept around 4 hours. I hate sleeping like this in noon. But I was too tierd after a heavy work with delicious meal and travel under hot sun.

Past Two weeks I was busy with Azealots Programming competition. The questions were Text book oriented, well known Algorithms. But it is interesting to solve/code the problems.
First week question was based on Shortest path problem.
This week question is based on a Max-flow-graph. First time I am reading through this kind of algorithm. But managed to implement a recursive version of my own. Not sure that it is same as any other well know implementation. But I designed this thing my self. The first implementation went into a "finite-infinite" loop. That time I experienced the power of discussion again. The problem was solved after discussing with Bijoy :-)
Now waiting for third week question.


Here is the link for competition. http://www.azealots.com/login/signup.php?refid=101127

Its 1.15 am sunday. Came after a mallu movie "Chandrothsavam". A Mohanlal movie. Other than Heroine Meena, and 3 seen from Mohanlal, we can call this movie by a hindi word.
"Bakwas".

Meena is particularly good in Yellow and Blue Saaries. Its nice to watch her. Thats all in this movie.

I must kill Raveesh. He called me to watch this one. He told it is just like "Devasuram" ( an old Mohanlal hit movie ) , with a musical flavor .!@#$#@. I felt desperate. Nothing more to say.

I saw Kaadal and Mayaavi in last couple of days. I felt very happy that Tamil movies are really improving. Compared to Malayalam movies , Tamil movies were nothing specially in story , direction and reality. But they are much advanced in graphics, I agree.

Come on Malayalam...its time to improve ... or otherswise she will take your place.

When talking about Kaadal I liked the direction and characterisation very well. Everybody acted well too. Director captured all minor things to get attention. especailly party seens , boys-mansion and off course love in progress with flashbacks. Around 30 minutes in second half seems to dragging to me. ..but OK.. I agreed that it is a part of that story and I am not patient enough. give a rate 8 out of 10 for this movie.

In Mayaavi I noticed that the audience was ready to accept the finishing of the movie. Surya and Jyothika is not getting married eventhough we expected it. They simply gave a shakehand and walked to different direction. cooool .. did you expect such an end in Tamil movies.

Another thing I liked is a joke. remember... the Tamilians are famous for throwing knife to the screen for helping the hero in the screen. Here is a joke that made everybody smile. In this movie, Jyothika is acting as the actress Jyothika. somebody kidnapped her. Police announces some price money to whoever giving the info about her. next day Police got a call "Sir , I saw... Simbu took Jyothika away... in "Manmadan". FYI: Manmadan is a movie were in which Jyothika and Simbu acted in main roles. things are changing !!!!!

Off course the main attraction is Surya only. He acted suberubbly.... It is his second movie I liked his acting. The first one is "Khakka Khakka"

Go On Tamilians ..we .. some mallus are here to support you....Cheers !!!!!!!

Today is a vishu day. Tamil new year too. So one more holiday. just spend time on my web pages, mailing, movie. Revised Gladiator and paycheck. both are motivating for me. Whenever I watch paycheck I'll think about my dream seriously. I have a dream to build a Malayalam Spell checker. And I had completed its grammar part much earlier, specifically 14 months before. Need to complete its GUI part. and I am looking for a VC++ expert to do that.

Back to Vishu day. Went to a mallu restaurant "kayal" with my colleagues Raveesh, Binni and Arun soman. Ordered a fully Vegetarian meals. They are pretty slow to serve the food. Need to ask for side dishes again and again. The waste part is they didn't served "payasam" after the meals. After that We had planned to see a "vishu movie". Went to 'Anand' to watch "Thommanum Makkalum" - a Mammootty film. But luckly or unluckly that movie changed from that theater. So we went to 'Sangam' to get the ticket for "chandrodhayam" - A mohanlal movie. Didn't get any ticket , since it is a releasing day. So the "movie in theater" idea flopped. Finally we went to Binni's room and watched Gladiator in his home theater :)

Today's best part is I sent a lot of mails to friends and to the group too. Started "fighting" on the group with Raghu and Tanuja. we sent around 12 mails to the group with in an hour. most of them are regarding vishu payasam and Marriage.

Updated this weblogs name and description. uploaded info about my new C-Hack to my "Under construction" webpage. So one more cool and relaxed day passed by.

Some People are crazy about this girl. I heard a bit about her before I actully met her. I had met her on Kochi with her friends. My friends introduced me to her. She is very nice to talk, well behavior, seems much matured.

Eventhough I saw her just three times face to face, she helped a lot for job hunting. Even more than what my classmates had done for me. She was my major source for the job openings. Currently she is in IIMK after working two year ( I guess.. ) in Wipro.

Today Melvin gave me her weblog. It is really nice to read her thoughts , narrations.
That made me to write again.

Enjoyed Easter in Home again. Played Cards with Uncle/Cousins , Fought with Sister. These are the main items I am missing while in Chennai. Thrissur is also getting hot just like Chennai. My
skin colour is turning to black from brown :-(

Back to room.
Roommates are just waiting to see what I brought from home. we finished off Meat-Cutlet as soon as I reached the room. Wine -- we postponed to have after dinner. This time I fought a lot to get Pickles from "ammachi" , a different one from my mother - meat pickles!!! . She told earlier that until unless I brought the bottles back to home, she will not give pickles again. As usual I forgot ;-)

I couldn't see my PC in room. It had a problem with its RAM. So my beloved "sahamuriyanmar" (roommates) sent it to repair.

Then ..you might wonder who my room mates are!!!
Bijoy MC , my old B.Tech Classmate... working in same company.
Shaji VS , Bijoy's Old schoolmate ..working in Visteon.
Pankaj, Working in my team.
