I downloaded this browser today morning..And I just cannot wait to blog about it.. Its trully awesome to see a web browser with which u can relate so much. This browser is developed by Hidden Reflex company in Bangalore. And it has been released this July 14th.Once u download it from their site and completes the setup.U r done..
The first page welcomes u with a beautiful Peacock background. The side bar has more than 50+apps, which is a one-click load, including twitter, facebook, gmail,yahoo...The themes are not some unknown people or places. They are who u look up to, who u dream about and whom we are proud of being an INDIAN.
Usually I would to like to reply or post in my wall in tamil. For that I used to go to Gmail and type it in tamil and then post it in my Wall. But In this browser, every text box has an option of selecting ur language. And it comes with Anti-Virus guard. So anything u download is always checked.
Finally, much awaited Rahman – Manirathnam combination “RAAVANAN” music was out on may 5th,2010. This is the first album that I have downloaded the next day of its release. So how was the songs..?
Totally AWESOME!!!! I couldn’t stop hearing it. Certainly, these songs are going to save, TAMIL MUSIC which is currently dying by its own hands. Every song and every beat hits straightly to the heart. With the two maestros of cinema, we can expect Ravanan music review to be nothing less than an awesome treat to the ears.
‘Veera’ which is an incomparable Rehman work with a perfect blend of bracing tunes together with a fresh voice. This song is already been a hit coz of the trailer.
Similarly ‘Kaatu Sirukki’ has the different voice of Anuradha and Shankar Mahadevan blended very well music score.
Karthik’s scintillating voice and intuitive feeling makes “Usurey Pogudhe” a heart-melting song which starts with a slow paced beat and makes us feel high as it goes on.
My favourites are “Keda kari” and “Kalvarey”. “Keda Kari” brags up with catchy beats and has the spirit of excitement and celebration with incredible and mind-blowing notes. It has to be a song, during a marriage i think.
Whereas ‘Kalvarey’ is completely opposite and has the “RAHMAN’s TOUCH”. A melodious song rendering a woman’s miserable feeling. It’s a typical Rahman work. Sure to remind you of the “Mannipaaya “ song of VTV.
So , Rahman - Manirathnam MAGIC!!!! ONCE AGAIN PROVED!!!
“Please don’t hit our WARNE for 4, Hit him for SIX!!”
DC vs MI match, a DC fan shows a board written,

And so on….
Franchise support doesn’t matter a fan when the GOD is batting. These sorts of billion of fans are the biggest achievements of this Noble Man…
As long as CRICKET lives there shall be only one GOD named SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR… May the almighty bless our LITTLE CHAMPION forever… Long Live our LEGEND Sachin!!!!
Well!!! That’s not totally true though… If we are gonna win against KINGS XI PUNJAB. We can surely make an entry into semifinals. Yep… Cos, Mumbai is sure into the semis. But look at the other three teams. If Royals win today or not, they are not gonna make much impact. The game between DELHI and DECCAN is going to be the season twister and going to decide our entry.
See, If we Win over PUNJAB, we’l have 14 points.Either DECCAN or DELHI is gonna win n make 16 points. So the other team will obviously gonna join us. And we are sure gonna enter the semis cos of our good run rate. So wake up DHONI. Win Punjab and enter the SEMIS. GO CSK!!!!!
1. For those who are boarding the train : The passengers at a station embarks onto to a connector cabin way before the train even arrives at the station. When the train arrives, it will not stop at all. It just slows down to pick up the connector cabin which will move with the train on the roof of the train.
While the train is still moving away from the station, those passengers will board the train from the connector cabin mounted on the train's roof. After fully unloading all its passengers, the cabin connector cabin will be moved to the back of the train so that the next batch of outgoing passengers who want to alight at the next station will board the connector cabin at the rear of the train roof.
2. For those who are getting off: As stated after fully unloading all its passengers, the cabin connector cabin will be moved to the back of the train so that the next batch of outgoing passengers who want to alight at the next station will board the connector cabin at the rear of the train roof. When the train arrives at the next station, it will simply drop the whole connector cabin at the station itself and leave it behind at the station. The outgoing passengers can take their own time to disembark at the station while the train had already left. At the same time, the train will pick up the incoming embarking passengers on another connector cabin in the front part of the train's roof. So the train will always drop one connector cabin at the rear of its roof and pick up a new connector cabin in the front part of the train's roof at each station.
Another good article from "howstuffworks" site....
Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
"Going about your life the same way day after day, doing the same activities you've always done, and planning the next weekend to mirror the last one is a good recipe for shrinking your awareness, joy and understanding of the world.
We have a natural (and often useful) tendency to stick with the familiar in life and avoid situations that make us uncomfortable. This is a good way to stay out of sticky situations, but it's also a good way to get in a rut and stay there. Pushing yourself to embrace new activities and experiences that force you to step outside your comfort zone is a good way to change the way you think.
Perhaps it's something physically intimidating, like skydiving or bungee jumping. Maybe getting outside your comfort zone means you seek out public spaces in which you're an ethnic, cultural or religious minority. Instead of vacationing in well-worn tourist traps, try a new destination that's off the beaten path."
Work on Self-awareness
"We can't think differently if we don't pay attention to the way we currently think. It isn't hard to walk through life with unchallenged or outdated beliefs, preconceptions, wrong assumptions and a personal narrative that's badly in need of updating.
Many people are afraid of acknowledging and exploring their own thoughts and emotions, choosing instead to focus on life outside their own skin -- the needs of others, career goals that have been set, and the constant static of the Information Age. Focusing on self-awareness can help you reconnect with your true needs, desires and dreams. It can make you pay attention to how you treat people and how you feel about how you're treated by others.
It may seem almost indulgent to work toward becoming more self-aware, but if so, there's nothing wrong with splurging on yourself. Increased self-awareness can facilitate major life changes -- many 12-step programs place large emphasis on personal exploration, the processing of painful events from the past, and the acknowledgment of resentments and fears in order to overcome personal demons and addictions. Identifying your moods and emotions will make it possible to adjust them. You can't change the way you think until you understand what's causing you to think the way you do."
I am badly addicted to coffee. That too a morning with no newspaper and Coffee, will surely ruin my whole day sometimes. I have advices flooding from all the sides that not to drink coffee and its not good for u. But in today's yahoo news , i found this.
"Washington, Mar 16 (ANI): A steaming hot cup of coffee in the morning can actually do wonders for your health.
And now two new studies have provided more support to the drink's benefits. Touted as "the devil's brew," coffee contains several nutrients (eg, calcium) as well as hundreds of potentially biologically active compounds (eg, polyphenols) that may promote health.
For instance, observational studies have suggested a beneficial link between coffee consumption and type 2 diabetes.
Two studies have lent additional information concerning the potential health benefits of coffee. These studies provide additional support for the emerging health benefits of coffee.
Rigorous clinical intervention trials will be needed to understand more fully the biological mechanisms. The studies by Kempf and Sartorelli "add to a growing literature suggesting that my steaming cup of morning coffee might help me stay healthy," said ASN Spokesperson Dr. Shelley McGuire.
"I'm a research scientist, but I still trust that foods and beverages which have been part of our culture for generations are probably good for us, or at least they're probably not bad for us in moderation! Of particular interest is the well-controlled clinical trial that suggests coffee can lower chronic inflammation and even raise our 'good' cholesterol. I for one will enjoy my coffee even more in the weeks to come," she added.
The studies have been published in the April 2010 issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition report. (ANI)"
So friends!!! Have a COFFEE MORNING!!!! Every day!!!
Hi!!! Since Its "HOSANNA" everywhere. This week's song is from the movie Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya.. No... Its not "Hosanna"... not "Mannipaaya"... Not "Omana penne"...
These are songs that impressed me firstly. But This song made me crazy, when I hear it in the theatre. Its starts with the scintillating guitar with beautiful drum background. It was the only song that was picturised perfectly in the movie.. Especially the transition of rhythm, from pallavi to anu pallavi.. that too with Naresh Iyer's spellbounding voice takes this song to a whole new level. And the charanam was astounding with the perfect blend of Singer with the chorus is awesome.
Hi all!!!!!Oh..At last I got a good stuff from the site "howstuffworks"..This is a really good article. 1: Larry Page His concept of how pages could be ranked in search made him a very rich man. "There's a good chance you found this article using Google. But even if you didn't, there's a very good possibility that you'll use the ubiquitous company's search engine or one its related products sometime today. That should say a lot about this company's reach and impact in the online world. It all started with two guys -- Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the co-founders of this seemingly unstoppable Internet juggernaut. But the initial concept belonged to Page.
Page started as an engineering student at the University of Michigan and went to Stanford to work on his dissertation. He decided that his dissertation topic would focus on the Web, primarily because he was interested in the mathematics behind the Web's construction.
He was particularly fascinated in the way Web pages linked to each other, in essence citing each other as important reference points in what would otherwise be a chaotic and unreliable online world. He proposed an automatic program (called a crawler) that analyzed how many other sites linked to one site, and also the importance of the sites that linked to that site. The more important the links, the higher the PageRank.
When the concept proved successful, he and Brin realized the potential of their creation. They set out to create Google, with the intention of making all of the world's information universally accessible and useful. Of course, Google search is a free service. So how did Page acquire more than $12 billion? In a word: ads. Google has two ad programs, called AdWords and AdSense. When you perform a Google search, AdWords advertisements are displayed on the right side of your search results. AdSense ads appear on other Web sites; Web site owners let Google display ads and Google pays that site owner a fee.
Marketing types at other companies pay money -- and a lot of it -- to display their ads through Google services. The end result is a search engine with so much cash that it can buy the best programming and business talent to perpetuate its success. In the process, Google employees such as Page make more than a little cash of their own."
VTV aka Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya is the current heart beat and Chat story of the present-day youth. Actually my orkut profile has been flooded with the VTV videos, pics and comments for the past one week. Not being a big fan of Gautham menon or Simbhu or Trisha, I just decided to watch the movie only and only for the LEGEND A.R.Rahman. Already, the songs were like killer waves and expecting a lot for his background score, I went for the movie this Sunday. Trully this is the second Gautham’s movie ,I am watching after “Minnale”.
So, Did I like it…??? Hmmm…… I didn’t totally like it or hate it. Some scenes were really good and some were really, really, really not ma kind. Some parts are really superficial too. I felt, Simbhu was perfect with his character whereas Trisha was not that good to express her struck with emotional adhesion and disarrays. But her character was the best in the film, which portrays exactly how a present day girl is and I possibly think that every girl relates herself to that movie in some way. (But, still a girl, who can love a younger fellow and who can boldly stop her marriage with so much gut, should have the same to talk to her parents…. What do you know..?) And Finally, The Climax is a double delight. You can either have a soft and smooth vanilla flavor or the bitter still sweet chocolate flavor. I surely liked the VANILLA!!!!!!!! Especially, for the “Anbil Avan “song and for Karthik’s tears.
And how could I miss, Rahman’s background score was SUPERB and to the core enjoyable. To mention, the scene before “Mannipaaya song” and the scene where they decided to be friends and when they depart etc…. and it goes on. You can surely watch the movie only for HIM…..
So, VTV
--One who loves feels and relates with it.
--One who had loved and flunked will surely have painful tears.
--One who doesn’t know what love is will say “padama machi idhu!!!!”
A.R.Rahman is a person who needs no introduction at all. He is the person who has revolutionized the entire Indian music industry.Inspite of all this praise and acclaim, he still remains down to earth and attributes all his success to the God Almighty. His great sense of spirituality makes his music serene, original and royal. Says Rahman, ’’I wanted to go beyond the restrictions of language, religion and caste and music is really the only thing that allows you to do that. Besides, all the inspiration and all the good things to me come from God”.
Ya, to start with, the first song that comes to my mind, of course its the song sung by the LEGEND himself and it has a silence and divinity in itself.Yep, Its the "KANEERE" song from the movie "UYIRE". I would prefer to its tamil version than hindi.Coz, It has such a great lyrics with that mesmerizing and soulful music. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!
With so much expectation, I finally bought Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol” Book. As I started reading, I found it was exceedingly slow at the start. Usually his books will be a bit dragging in pace at the beginning. But this time, I couldn’t accept. In point of fact, the whole story was based on America and for the most part the White House and it’s nearly places… I was really LOST at the end of every chapter and certainly I couldn’t remember even the characters took part in the previous chapters.(Well,Don’t expect to find any life-like characters here) So Then I came to a decision. I decided to actually know first, about the various unheard or the usually weirdest things of his books, which were the most imperative parts of the story. Such as “The Hand of Mysteries”, “The George Washington Statue” and the other foremost one,” Apotheosis_of_George_Washington”. So, I got the pictures from the net and so then I could understand at least some thing about what’s actually going on.
All These Efforts are actually to know “THE LOST SYMBOL. “ Unlike his previous books, he failed to pick up the pace ,till the end, not even a single breath taking chapter( as there was plenty of such chapters in the book, THE DIGITAL FORTRESS) and it’s really sad that there was not much codes to decrypt either---no new character development, no big surprises in plot trajectory. Keeping all these depressing stories apart, I was really impatient to know the lost symbol, for which I was travelling with the whole book ,all along. BUT I WAS REALLY SHOCKED AND FRUSTRATED TO KNOW “IT” AT THE END.
I mean, the End is not convincing in any way.It was truly hard for me accept “it” as the lost symbol. Well If you wanna know the “IT”, then you have to read the book. The book becomes tedious when it strays from plot and tries to make profound points.But, you can surely love it for LANGDON and his always correct SENSE of revealing the truth. Neither of the other things was there, that you can truly love this book.
IN A NUTSHELL--- "THE LOST SYMBOL" is really LOST...
Rahman has once again proved that music has no barriers. Rahman struck the first gold at the 52nd Grammy Awards function in Los Angeles.
"This is insane, god is great again," Rahman said as he accepted his second award before a VIP audience.
Rahman's rivals in the soundtrack category included Steve Jordan for "Cadillac Records," Quentin Tarantino for "Inglourious Basterds", and the producers of "Twilight" and "True Blood." Well!!!! This February has started on a great note... So, Enjoy the day...
