WORLD SOFTWARE FREEDOM DAY!!!!

19th of september is world software freedom day.In this e-era,for a country like India that takes pride in its Information Technology sector and entrepreneurship in IT and IT-enabled services,Free and Open Source Softwares(FOSS) is not just for geeks and techies.Now-a-days software is becoming user-community oriented rather than techies oriented.

These days many FOSS are available online that do a decent job very similar to their proprietary counterparts.These FOSS matters great not just because they are available free.More than that, they are very simple to download,free to run,copy,modify and distribute.These are enabled by the fact that their source code are freely available.

Gone are the days when software is viewed as commodity.Right now,Software is a service for the common user too..

Who is a lame duck?

Can we say "those who are aggressive and chippy are only efficient and dynamic and others as lame duck?"

The recent Parliament elections have proposed a strong negative answer for this question. "NO".
Before elections ,the opposition parties joining hands with the media people depicted Dr.singh as the weakest Prime Minister everbefore.But Manmohan, a pragmatic man dint take their comments seriously.The election results only replied those people.


To be efficient and successful what we need is not agression but only firmness and goodness in our actions.What we are going to do for public is only poignant than addressing a gathering agressively and stirring their emotions.

Still you cant believe People will vote for emotions.Its only your action that sounds.

THE MOST WANTED !!!!

"Mahi",this is how the most wanted is fondly called!!!.You could have got about whom i'm talking.Its none other the charismatic captain of our cricket team, MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI.The Ranchi express have become a year older by this Jul 7th..

Mahi remains cool always(Despite losing Key matches too :{).His body language tells a lot.He has plumped for nearly 20 brands and he is the costliest bargain of the recent IPL where Super kings got a damn defeat.

Belated B'DAY wishes. Man!!! come back to form soon.Awating your boundaries.

Holiday Package!!!!

Poompuhar referred as ,Kaveripoompattinam in Silapadikaram,is one of the favourite hangouts for my friends.whenever we tour there, we can call up the past glories and tales of Chola kingdom.Situated at the estuary of River Kaveri, Poompuhar was an ancient port of the Cholas.The city has got many relics and statues belonging to Cholo era and after.

There are frequent references to this city in our ancient Tamil literature.The famous rulers of Chola dynasty like Sembiyan, Manuneethi Cholan and Karikala Cholan who carried myths with them, added to the glory of Poompuhar town. Poompuhar grew a great during the reign of Karikala Cholan. He conquered territories up to the Himalayas and made a pass into China through the Himalayas. On his return Karikala Cholan brought back the monuments and gifts like the korrappanda, presented by the Vajra king, the Pattimandabam by the Magatha King and the Thoranavayil by the Avanthi King. These were rulers who were defeated by Karikala Cholan and these items were exhibited them at Poompuhar.

Cool and shady river banks with trees and dense foliage, sacred passages from temples to the river for Gods to come and bathe, and the ringed wells on the fringes of the town were salient features of the town planning that have been noted during excavations. The town had a compound wall engraved with tiger emblem.


The gorgeous Silapadikara Art gallery has got a seven tiered building of great sculptural value.The beach is also beautiful and instinctive.Poompuhar,its not just a hangout mere to enjoy but we can have pleasant remembrance about our erstwhile dynasties , their culture and life styles.


The Sculptures and statues narrated Silapadikaram in a better way. Puhar,interesting holiday package indeed.

VERDICT OF MY(D) PEOPLE

Manishankar Iyer ,the former Panchayat Raj and petroleum minister ,has bcum a prominent loser of 2009-elections.Altho his party with its ally DMK has got a spectacular victory,Iyer lost.

He had won the Myladuthurai constituency three times in the past.He entered myladthurai in 1991 with the compaign "I'll strive hard to improve Myladthurai lyk Dubai" ,he did won dat time also.So far he has served as MP from Myladuthurai constituency for three times.But the things done to Myladthurai are comparably less.

As i was born n brought up in Myladthurai,I could possibly guess the reasons for his defeat.

* The bus terminal is unable to accomodate all the flowing buses.Probably for the last 6 or 7years, the people are crying for a larger bus depot. Thou the present bus terminal has been renovated recently ,its not upto the standards.Its just an eyewash 4 elections;(


*Since the town is based primarily on agriculture ,more imp shuld hav been paid to agri, which wasn't done.The sugar mill which is located in the realm of MYD is poorly maintained and its awaiting the date to get closed.


*Myladthurai railway junction is an important juncture as its connecting many cities lyk Kumbakonam,Trichy,Tanjore and Thiruvarur.But the incomplete broadways b/n CH and MYD for the past 4 yrs is a big head ache for the people(particularly myself).


*Underground drainage system which shld hav got a gud response frm the people was sworn bcaz the roads are left as such wit ups n downs after digging out.

No Govnt Engg/Medical/law/Architect college/Univ in n aroun the city.


*No remarkable achievements r made in the rapidly growing city when compared with other cities lyk Tanjore n Trichy...


*The main charge against Iyer is ,the residents of MYD can see him once in 5 yrs drng elections!!!!!!

Plainly saying ,MYD is rapidly developing bcaz of the private organisations and enterprises in the city. Efforts from govnt side are very meagre.

Being an union Cabinet Minister ,One can do a lot to his constituency which Iyer failed to accomplish. Instead he dint satisfy the basic amenities also.All these let the ppl of MYD down n they opt for the alternative choice ......Its not that ppl want to elect the person who won (O.S.Maniyan) this time,dey want to show deir frustration to Iyer.


Better luck next time to both Iyer n MYD ppl ,bcaz the city cant expect more frm an OPPOSTION party's MP!!!!!!!!!

Tech Mahindra bags Satyam at $500million

ARCHITECT OF DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUENCY OF INDIA

Paying homage to Babasaheb Dr.Ambedkar on his 118th birth anniversary.


************celebrating six decades of our constitution*************

*********AYAN**********

I started my way to Sathyam Cinemas with a great anticipation about AYAN.I was let down with the usual storyline but surya bears every burden with his single smile:) .

Ayan is a cliched story of the henchmen(Prabhu and Surya).They both are illegal smugglers doing underground import and export of diamonds and gold.However they are illegal ,they have a good heart:(:( (run out of the mill idea).Surya is actually a smart aleck and fun-loving techy (adhukhaka pillayar statue- la methyl alcohol composition kandupidikkarathu rombaaaa too much). Jegan,the small screen actor, has got a good break as chitty. The scenes having surya's mom ,Renuka, are poignant and humourous.Prabhu has done well. Tammanah ,although bewitching,her overacting is plain to audience.

Harish Jeyaraj's numbers are very pleasing.But the songs dint get fit into the sequence.Particularly, the duet ,very next to Chitty's(Tammanah's bro) death.


The story is very usual.Some bits are not at all acceptable.The enjoyable things with Ayan are
*pleasing numbers,

*Catchy milieus and backgrounds,

*robust stunts,

*vibrating humours.

Surya ,the charming chocy boy ,is becoming more chic every day.

The camera captures Africa and all other places at beautiful angles. Surya ,the charming chocy boy ,is becoming more chic every day. Ayan-Its SURYA's show
all the way.

................Virodhi.................

Iniya Chithirai Thirunaal Vazhthukkal...

Hope this Newyear bring a blast in our life.Lets have a total fun with Virodhi ..

Time to say No THANKS to my abroad Dream!!!!

Well. Im pretty sure that im not the same that i was before two or three years.I hope my horizon of thinking has improved (slightly atleast ).In my School days ,I was determined about pursuing my studies abroad and getting a job over there.
I cant say it as determination ,may be a kinda Craze Thats it!!!!.Probably this craze could be an impact on me due to ma frendz who too think like me.(Great people think alike lol!!!)

But its not the case with me now.Im almost certain about staying at India itself.Its primarily my Dad who maneuvered me this way.Dont think Im brain washed or something else....What my Dad said ,that day ,was a suggestion or just his opinion.I started thinking about my future after that spark only.Yet i havnt planned anything seriously till now.

Why should I let my country a brain drained one? Why should i lose my individuality by going somewhere else which is not mine? Our Government is dropping some few lacs for each and every IITian to pursue their studies.But after having a prestigious degree here ,many goes abroad and got settled over there(Paying taxes to that country :()Is this fair?.These are the questions that flashed in my mind after having a big conversation with my Dad.

Dont think im so conventional sticking to some impractical ideas.Im not against going and settling abroad.If we are supposed to go abroad ,in that case we can very well go.After all my point is ,how more than half of the well educated youth can have the burning desire of settling abroad (even im not an exception).Whats wrong in our nation?

The Current Recession hit in States may be one of the reasons that induced me to talk like this.This Recession has given a chance to INDIANS to prove themselves.The fall of America is a chance for the fellow countries to push themselves a step forward in their race.

As Adiga said,I hope its the time of Brownish(Indians) and yellowish(Chinese) to take control over the world.Its not too long for INDIA to glitter as a Super Power.

Proud to be an INDIAN!!!!


Thanks to destiny,I have found my way!!!!. I cant say anything that i dont have it here(in my country).If its there anything so,ill create or make it in India itself...

VOTE FOR EARTH!!!!!

Started as a nation wide compaign at Sydney in 2k7,VOTE FOR EARTH has now emerged as a Global election this year 2k9.Im glad to be a part of this election by switching off lights in our college campus for one hour.(28th March 8.30pm- 9.30 pm)

Vote for Earth is just a call to all the people irrespective of their nations,to take control over the future of their Planet.Its said that our votes will be presented to world leaders Global climate Conference at cophenhagen,2009.This may establish a provision to take action against Global warming.These actions are all just having low probablilities only.

Apart from the above legal impacts of this election,switching off our lights(including computers,TV ,MP3players or whatever it is :-( ) gave every individual , the time to think of our planet.Now we are more cautious about the Environmental changes than we were before.This itself is a great victory of the compaign and election.



MORE GREENER ,MORE WEALTHIER....

MILEY's NUMBERS REALLY ROCKSSS...

Miley Ray Cyrus ,the teen ,is now making our hearts beat at a faster rate with her numbers.We cant be just quiet on listening to her rock music.Even a dumb man wanna dance for her music.She is well known for her starring as Hanna Montana in Disney Channel.Her carrier started with the release of her first debut album Meet Miley cyrus.Then the second album "BREAK OUT" climbed into high peaks.Her numbers like GNO,Lets dance,Wake Up America ,See you again,I thought I lost you rocked the pop world.She is nominated for Golden Globe and critics choice awards.

She is only about her sixteen now and she has come in the list of '100 most influential people ' of the world by TIME'S Magazine.Yet some unwanted rumours and gossips are spread about her.All the celebreties have to overcome this and even Miley too.


I LUV YOU MILEY......>

An Apology from my heart......

Ouch!!!!!!!!! I dunno how i forget this..I feel very bad of me.

I totally forgot ma frndz bday which was on 9th March.She is one of my best friends .We both did our intermediate Schooling in SRV.My hostel life started with her as my roomy.We both were so naughty as well as sleepy in our school days.So obviously our warden used to give us monotonic lectures often about the importance of Twelfth standard in our life.(Though our warden was a hum drum ,she was so caring).In my school days, ill be the first to wish on her bday at 12.00am.But this year i missed that goodness.

Nandi................Im really sorry da. I miss the fun we had those days...

BELATED BIRTHDAY WISHES NANDI...

The Gandhi Family ( Rahul Vs Varun)

We,the Indians,have great hope and esteem on the descendants of Jawaharlal Nehru.Most probably i hope Rahul is keeping on the fame of his family.May be i dunno personally,my hope is true or wrong.But in the eyes of public , Rahul is behaving softly, generously and he seems to be so matured.He is interacting with the students by presiding over many college functions all over India.He took initiatives to introduce leaptops and new technologies in his party(Congress) . He represents the hope and dreams of the youth which would inherit the future.

But ,Im not feeling good with Varun's recent speech.Being the grandson of Indira Gandhi ,who lost life in her fight for the secular integrity of India,Varun has completely overthrown the secular image of his political stemma.He has given this abhorrent speech keeping only one thing in his mind,winning the pilibhit seat, which is again a communally sensitive constituency. If Varun wants to be proud of his religion he can very well have that.But how can he humiliate another minority section of the society.If winning a LS seat is just his only aim ,irrespective of nation's communal harmony,then he can never be bloodline of Gandhi family.After all these issues also ,he remains unapologetic.
Im not trying to blindly blame or boast anyone.After all my concern and wonder is only that how a well-educated 29-year old youth can still stir these backward ideas and communal clashes

Every enjoyment is over by now.....Time to rush up

Perhaps it may be a late post.But I cant miss this post...

Instincts ,SSN's Annual cultural fest, was over by last Saturday(7-01-09).It was a super-duper hit.The first day of instincts was something like a first day release of Super Star's Movie.The auditorium was flooded by the students.Actor Aarya inaugurated the fest and asked the students to do some funny works and pose funky styles.The students enjoyed at the most by shouting ,whistling and flying paper rockets.Then Karthick concert ,it really rocked man...except the only thing, it started very late.Then Informals , SSN Carnivals,Neeya Naana -Gopinath Speech,Choreo nite,Ad Zap,Light Music,Western dances,the Stunt Show and every thing was nice .We enjoyed to the core at DJ nite althou the Jockey didnt do proper mixing of numbers:(

We enjoyed enjoyed enjoyed ...............a lot...But now evry thing is over.Our exams are nearing .We are being rushed up.....Waiting for the INSTINCTS-2k10..

INSTINCTS MANIA

Finally we have arrived at the enthusiastic point of this year.Ya ! im talking about INSTINCTS 2K9(ANNUNAL CULTURAL FEST OF SSN).The mania spread thru out the campus.Many classes are being bunked (ha! its the most desirable thing of a cultural fest) in the name of searching sponsorship and publicising. The hype increased with the foretell, the actor ARYAA(cho sweet!!!) is our chief guest for our inauguration on MARCH 5th.DJ Lara is also coming for DJ night. For more detailed information and registration do visit www.instincts.org.in.

Do come and enjoy a lot.
