Am Really Back

Don't want to tell the excuses for not writing blog.. Am really back to write blog frequently because of these two things:

One "2007" : In order to choose a simple New Year resolution which can be done, I have chosen to write blog frequently. If I am not able to do this, then I think I should take "brushing teeth regularly" as the 2008 resolution.. Hopefully it should not happen!!

Two "fans Support!!" : Yeah! Really, Not believing it? One of my friend has given me encouragement for continuing the blog. And by the way, I like to refer my quote from my first blog: "...when my friends are there i can do anything i can..(in tamil it is - 'eathyvitta enna venumnalum seivan..."

So, guess what? U gonna find some more waste space occupied in the blogger.com server.. Yeah I am going to put more blogs frequently :) Watch out..

Got BroadBand

It took for me long time to think about writing another blog..This is because i was busy those days. Sometimes i think something crazy about the word 'Busy'. i can say Everybody is busy all time - working, sleeping, reading, hearing music, breathing..one will not say 'i am busy in playing' unless he is a player,and 'i m busy in singing' unless he is a singer..so one will only be busy in the work he has to do, or which is important to him..

Okay..leave that. Hereafter i hope i can write more frequent blogs, because i got broadband connection. Its quiet worthy for unlimited connection of 256kbps for 900 bucks provided you are having your own modem, otherwise 100 bucks extra as life rental - plan of almost all providers. Airtel is the best as far as my knowledge goes,but its only available for you if you are lucky. I am not one of the lucky persons..Airtel responded me within a day to say sorry for the non feasibility of broadband connection in my area.

So i started scanning for next option since i couldn't wait for a minimum of 2 months as airtell told me, yes its minimum not maximum..the next options are bsnl, sify, reliance and tataindicom..I can easily omit Tata Indicom because of its well known poor customer service and well known problems. Sify i think its costly when comes to installation and charging..so opted for bsnl with little hesitation because of govt sector, because of my friends suggestion who is using it.

Its always better to take steps carefully when dealing with govt sectors.Yes, you should not opt for internet connection and phone connection in a single form from bsnl, if so its gonna be absolute delay. I applied for the phone connection first in BDA complex with the refundable security deposit of 500, which i got exactly the last day of the week followed. Then i requested for broadband form, with the option of 900 plan with own modem choice. I opted for own modem, since the line man who gave me connection clearly told there is no modem in stock in bsnl office. At last got the connection within a week. Bought Dlink ADSL 2+ modem and tried to configure it in my system for two day and still trying to configure it with my NetGear router so that i can share internet in my pc and my laptop..

DVD Version 2

--BLU-RAY & HD-DVD--

I was randomly looking over the pages of PC World - September 2006 edition, where at the first time I saw names like high definition DVDs, Blu-ray, HD DVD. And started looking over it.. After the launch of mid 90's only now DVDs have become popular and cheapest in India. Now everyone is getting DVD writers for mere 2K bucks and it has become the essential part of a PC. I got one not a year before.

It seems there is the next version of DVD and is out already and there are two flavors of them which has heavy competition. Yes, there's a new standards war in town: HD-DVD versus Blu-ray. Both promise true high-resolution video and more features than the current generation of DVDs, but because the formats are incompatible, hardware manufacturers, and we are in a situation to take decision to go on which side.

HD-DVD by Toshiba was first to market, and Blu-ray movies by Sony are available now but not extensively. The DVD switch will also affect PCs: several manufacturers will start shipping systems with Blu-ray drives, which will work via third-party software, over the summer, and Microsoft and Intel are supporting the HD-DVD drives. Blu-ray discs are more expensive, but hold more data, while HD-DVD is comparatively cheaper holding less data. This is the capacity chart for them:

Capacity
Blu-Ray		HD DVD
ROM single layer: ROM dual layer: RW single layer: RW dual layer: Highest test: Theoretical limit:	23.3 / 25GB 46.6 / 50GB 23.3 / 25 / 27GB 46.6 / 50 / 54GB 100GB 200GB	Single layer: Dual layer: - - Highest test: Theoretical limit:	15GB 30GB - - 45GB 60GB

(Taken from engadget)

Since manufacturers of blue laser diodes are still unable to improve yield rates, the shortage may result in pushing back the competition between Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD optical disc drives in the market to the first quarter of 2007. So it should take some 2015 for us to put hands in them!!

The REAL COMEDIANS
--Tribute to the real comedians of South India.--

Do you think Vivek and Vadivelu are the comedians? They are not the real comedians, they are just jokers trying many ways to make people laugh. Real Comedian is the one who makes us to laugh as well as cry very easily at each and every bit of the film.

The Stable Answer for the Real Comedian from Tamil side is well-known; he is none other than our beloved, college going graduate, fresh youth, charming - Cap10 (as he pronounces). But there has been a very heavy competition from Telegu side emerged & well established star NBK alias Ballaya alias Balakrishna.

I have compiled some of the highlight comedies of these comedians. In this case it is hard to separate their highlights from the whole film. For example, you cannot distinguish comedy from the screenplay in Narasimha, a comedy box office hit form Cap10. But thanks to our real humorous friends' u-tube posts, I compiled some of their masterpieces.

Our Cap10 vs NBK
BEST INTRODUCTION

Our Cap10's

Do you still like the introduction scene of Arnold in Terminator 2? If so you might not have seen this scene.
Intro - sunglass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn-CKI1UgtI

NBK's move :

Have you seen the stupid intro scene of MI2? Getting some sunglass goggles. very funny!! See this MI0, a stubborn reply for all the Hollywood stuntmen to pack and go home...See how our hero uses his powers to save a lamb, clearly depicting his humanity. A superb into scene showing hero's power and his humanity.. our Cap10 is clean bold in this move.
MI0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygR68FIvri0

BEST LOW BUDGET COMMEDY

Our Cap10's :
This is the most wanted scene of all time. This can be taken as the low budget yet rich humor scene.
Mostwanted scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDM8NHTJ9_k

NBK's move :
See this how this low budget comedy is..Our Cap10 touches his moustache to fight with enemies. But Ballaya points his fingers to move anything he wants. Whose has more power? Decide urself..

Chair pulling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmCpFu8kq0k

BEST POWER

Our Cap10's
Do you like science fiction comic movies? Is there any hero in the film industry who has this much power? Embrace yourself!!
Current's shock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nOhiKwZWdU

NBK's move :
Is that bursting transformer is a feat than moving a train by pointing finger? You can see who Ballaya is.. Again Cap10 is clean bold in this move.
Train http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jROdvv1AB0I

Our Cap10's team
Paparazzi video got our Cap10. See his childish angry. Don't laugh he is angry!!
Child gets angry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iME4RBT4YLs

NBK and his team
This is yet another high budget film with lot of big hens in our ballaya's team. Spielberg couldn't have imagined such a script for Jurassic Park series. Yet another mile stone form telegu side.
The Team http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NskkXnyRdQY

BEST REAL COMMEDIAN

So in conclusion our Cap10 Vijayakanth has to work hard and has to think even more creative to beat Ballaya. So sadly Vijayakanth is the runner up for REAL COMMEDIAN. And the REAL COMMEDIAN award goes to non other than "Ballaya". To know more about the winner, logon to http://www.nbkfans.com/

There were plenty of nomination from tamil as well as telegu actors like Krodham Premkumar (is busy in Krodham 100), Ramarajan (has no money to fill the nomination form for REAL COMMEDIAN), Chiranjeevi etc..

BEST STUNT COMMEDIAN
Chiranjeevi got special awards for the BEST STUNT COMMEDIAN for the following clips:

Horse stunt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxAORwD7J8U
Tractor stunt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB-gzPCvNpY

So Tamil industry has to work hard as telegu is going to its extreme... In this case we have to admit our lose... Our Cap10 is the only rescue person.. WE WILL WAIT, WILL WAIT ..WAIT (as told by cap10) for him in future products to beat deadly NBK..

Vettaiyadu Vilayadu

Vettaiyadu - Villain did the hunting.
Vilayadu - Hero did the childish playing.

I was one among the eager audience to see Kamal movies, coz he is one among the few not spoiling our Tamil industry. I was also quite impressed on Goutham for the good and natural screenplay of Kakka Kakka. So there is nothing to wonder on the expectation for the trio Kamal, Goutham, Harish.

The first half of the movie went very well without flaws. Though the villain was introduced bit early, I had so much expectation for the cause of the serial murders. In the interval, I was debating with one of my friends who told me this one is not as good as Kakka Kakka, that it has a different plot. I meant to say Kamal is not some 30 years old Anbuchelvan, in Kakka Kakka encountering local rowdies. Here Kamal has a matured role of investigating which needs patience and intelligence to unveil mysteries. Moreover the first half went naturally and the way I expected. I was comparing VV in my mind as a non commercial Hollywood movie meant for academy awards.

But all my satisfaction and joy started collapsing seeing the flashback of the villain. I compromised my mind asking myself why it shouldn't happen? I am okay with the plot that villain killing Anderson, Kamal's associate and attacking kamal for escape. But I could compromise myself when Kamal escaped form the fire very easily who is about to die within minutes. I was expecting some sort of intelligent escape of Kamal. This is first flaw. The villains suddenly escaped to India. Another one surprise!! Okay lets compromise this. Then as, usual Tamil cinemas do, there is one song for villains which they started playing, made me annoyed very much.

Kamal after arriving India discusses this issue and tells as if he has some good plan and starts to execute it. But I don't understand the plan itself and the effectiveness of the plan. As usual villain started chasing after Hero’s family. But the strange thing is hero comments villain as small boys in between all the murders. At last these small boys take the heroine as everyone expected. But as not everyone expected, one among the two villains himself falls into Hero's trap. Here I started thinking about plans after the movie and the next day works. And after this I can see that the dialogue writer and the director are in a miserable situation to end the movie.

The other thing which might have taken care is violence. Since this movie is not for a separate audience of SAW series or Hostel, I feel there is no need for showing extreme blood and gore scenes if it not required. This movie is a thriller and not a horror.

So what is worth to see this movie? Really the whole first half of the movie is simply best. The mature love between Jothika and kamal, really a good move. Music is simply superb. Music is the only part to relax in the second part, though some songs might have mixed in other part of screen play. I would say there might be some quarrel on screen play, which got much worse because of that. Villains are given more importance and more scenes. And these small boys hunts people whomever they don't like easily. And luckily our hero and heroine escaped from them, though luck didn't work for heroine at first.
So we can expect really good movies from Gautham if he is away from Kamal. And as usual we can expect really good movies form Kamal if he is away from Gautham.

Finalized Tremplate

I won't get satisfied by myself easily..and that's why It took 6 days for me to finalize my template. Searched from several sites and got one basic but good template. Did some alterations and changed background pics..Now I think its almost finalized. But not sure how long this will be..coz I like doing graphics/actions than writing.. and that's why you may wonder why this fool is taking this much time for mere blog templates..Before I was looking into some template with buttons for navigation, but it took some more time to load. So I omitted those templates. Then I got this one, but I had to modify it to 1024 X 768 resolution. Then I want to change it into my favorite blue color. Some where I want to add my face. So did all these and finalized, hope u like this..

Weekend Music

Its Friday, and its gonna be long weekend coz Monday its holiday for US people, don't want to know the reason..So I can come to office more casual than I usually do on monday..no week end plans as usual..so started looking to take some time to relax. I love music very much as others usually do, I go some sort of addiction on the western music coz its is western.. I used to take screen snaps of the new album titles when they are playing on VH1 / MTV / VTV in my PC with tv tuner card..Likewise I used to get some favorites to download..I got some for you to play..

These days I used to love mild music, after started hearing Dido. Skye Edwards from the Morcheeba, has made her debut album - Mind how you go, which is so mild and beautiful to hear..Favourite ones are Love Show, Stop Complaining, Wha's wrong with me, All the promises.

Planned PC Config.

A week before i was walking with some 300 bucks in my pocket, though it happens rarely - which makes me look around to make affordable things as essential things for me..My dad often advices me to be careful in distinguishing between 'just affordable' and 'essential' things. Luckily i am one among people for whom essential things are affordable. People used to love unessential things coz it is affordable, that day likewise i bought 'PC World' magazine for 60 bucks, could be 2 days lunch..though the magazine is available in online, reading of hardcopies are always preferred. Main reason i bought the book is - i am planning to assemble a PC, surely not now..waiting for Quads from AMD and Intel..yes, to go to Dual..Just Kidding..

I have been closely watching than ever before on the price slashes and the war between Intel and AMD.. I would prefer to put some 50K bucks to get a handsome pc.
The best Configuration for now seems to favor Intel Core 2..Here is the configuration I am thinking of..

Samsung 740 17" TFT monitor =10000
segate 250 gb Baracudda = 4000
ups m+tech 600 VA = 1800
tv tuner = 1500
mouse+keyboard(Microsoft) = 1000
Zebronics Antibiotic cabinet = 2000
1GB Tracend RAM = 4000
lite on shw-1635S dual dvd writer = 2200
total: 26500

So the balance is for Processor and Mobo..i am not planning for the Game card when I am going to assemble.. Now available things are:

intel core 2 duo e6300 = 9000
asus p5b deluxe = 10000

So the total comes 45500 for a pc. I decided to wait for the Intel mobo to come to the market, so that the processor and other mobo prices may decrease..so wats ur opinion..

Template Change

After i did the first post with the usual 'Minima Black' template, being a semi animatic designer (not professionally), i decided to change the template something different..so started googling and got some templates and out of them i put one during this post..hope you like it..But more works are there to change the sea anemone and starfish pics, which i am planning to do using my Photoshop Illegal version..Don't know when we can see indian softwares could be downloded and registered by paying Indian money..I am happy to be in India for using illegal softwares easily..

It took more time to figure out a good template, and i got something like if you download a template and put it in the blog, the style sheets(.css) and javascript (.js) mostly will be from the website you downloaded it, so your blog will take the pics and formats from the template website and data from the blogger.com. So i think it would be better to embed the .css and the .js in the template itself, so you can get the whole page from a single server blogger.com. I have to do this for my blog..so i am going to do it now..

Let's Get it Started

At Last even I have started to do this..yes..there were three main reasons which made me to hesitate to write a blog..

One -
I think I am good in simple English (without touching those important list GRE vocabs) , but I think I am worst in vocabs..
Two -
I feel shy when I am lonely, yes.. This is because when my friends are there i can do anything i can..(in tamil it is - 'eathyvitta enna venumnalum seivan') I have to blog when I am lonely without thinking what others think on me..its quite difficult for me..

Three -
I haven't read a single book if it is not meant for Exams and i was not interested in reading blogs before i started thinking about this.

So now why should i started wasting the space in blogger.com?..surely not wasting my time..coz i won't feel boring - having difficult to become old and also busy - having difficult in seeing whether i became old? I at first saw some of my friends general blogs(poetic like for which i have to sit with dictionary) which frightens me to come to this area, as all non-computer science software engineers did before they exceed the cs engineers..
But i found some of the blogs are with downloads links (its my passion) and with fun and info..I saw one of my friend's friend blog fully in tamil. Though i can really understand tamil very well,i could not read as faster as english and vise versa. This is the fate that lies on a good student from middle class in TamilNadu. But this blog is so good as reading Tamil monthlies with selected pages. I started thinking why can't we at least start which could be the end..so here are the reasons why I stated this:

One - I can get knowledge for this, coz i am not planning to write my personal dairy details or about the traffic in my city which everybody is experiencing daily. I could write something interesting or which is knowledgeable or some reviews coz every one is having their own views..

Two - I used to forget things faster than i used to store in my memory. Also I am having some virtual memory problem..So this blog might be of use to store some info which I can refer when needed..

Three -Expose my intelligence or foolishness to everybody..For safety precautions to avoid my foolish side, i have hidden the comments for now and I am not going to give link to some of my friends until my post count goes 2 or 3..

so meet you in next post, if u read up to this line..hopefully..
