Common Sense

Why for people plays music(!) in Vehicles especially like busses, I wonder. If it's an private vehicle then its ok. What can be a solid reason for playing noise in the name of music in busses. It has multiple distrubances. Already environment inside our busses are very noisey. Imagine if somebody has to attend a important call over his mobile in this noisy atmosphere.Me personally had this experience at madurai. Certain things need to be done by applying common sense. One more sample for this kind of thing is ditching the road immediately after a new raod has been constructed. In fact the sequence should be in reverse. Reponsiblity is what we need to develop. After all, we need to understand that it is the same place where we are going to live. Inorder to make a india as a super power the foremost thing to be done is to behave like a responsible citizens. powered by performancing firefox

Direct To Home

It has become routine to struggle for cable TV connection each time we shift to a new house. Wanted to break this routine. Found a solution in the form of DTH (Direct To Home) After choosing DTH , need to zero-in on particular provider like Tata sky, Dish and Doordarshan . Finally decided to go for DD bcoz it needs no add on cost / moth in the form of any subscriptions. More over it provides 45 video channels and 20 radio channels .(of cousrse only 6 out of this are of Tamizh) Really the quality of reception is good. After the launch of INSAT 4B this march 10 , it is expected that DD would provide 100 channels. Ok.. For the moment the struggle with Cable TV operators has come to an END. powered by performancing firefox

House No #4

This is the fourth time i'm shifting my residence in past couple of years. To start with, in Blr we were in a small house of single bed room. Indeed the house's size was not a major problem rather the area in which it was located was the problem. During the rainy seasons it was like residing in an island. We planned to shift to a house which was bigger in size, closer to the office, superb environ, ofcourse it was close to a ideal condition. Life was very peaceful in that house for all. Many a good things happened in that house. Then came the news of shifting to Pondy. Again the search started. It was like searching the house in a city where i was never gone for. that too in 15 days. Ofcourse one of my relatives helped me a lot in this regard. This time the condition was even worse. The house had no bed room at all. It had a hall , kitchen and bath-room, toilet. Now i was in double mind. Whether to shift this or not ? By this time i started to knew about the importance of money...

Recursion '07

Recursion '07 is a National conference of computer science students across the nation, conducted by our department.It's a two day meet. Ofcourse this is the first time for me. Students from 30 different institutions attended this meet. The event was grand; really it was out of reach of my expectations. Inagural function got started with a good prayer song sung by our students. Inagural speech was given by a top official from one of the leading MNC company. Then started the events like Software Project Mangement, paper presentation, Web designing, Quiz etc etc etc. Infact me happend to be a judge for Web designing. Really it's amazing set of talents we have in the upcoming students. The way they answer the questions and their presentation and all are very professional. Day II validictory function was presidented by the Vice-president of a leading MNC software company. Overall it's was a pleasant experience. powered by performancing firefox

Slogans

I'd like to list some of the quotes or slogans which i felt touching. " Everybody wants to go to Heaven; But Nobody is ready to Die " " Silence is foolish is u are wise; wise if u are foolish " I had a collection of such things to register. Now nothing strikes in Mind. Ok., " Unheared Melodies are always sweeter " powered by performancing firefox

Why he is ?

The master blaster's bat yesterday answered to all the critics of him. He is simply great because he loves his game. can't tolerate some body unreasonabily commenting about his job/game. I belive all those persons who really love their job will have a same kind of attitude. They make their work speak about them. Simply the Master is top among them.

Knowledge Base

Started wondering about the voulme of knowledge yet to be gathered. Lots of things in Computer science to be learned. It seems like trying to explore the sea just by sitting in the shore. Various different fields of computer science are (CS) yet to be explored. Being a part of an institution for higher studies, it is the order of the day that lot of things to be learned. I'm seeing a widely open arena of interesting topics which needs to be concentrated upon. Read - Study - Invent - Practice, is what i have plans to do. Firing all the cylinders to invent atleast a very small thing. Admist all these things there are real time difficulties for me. I have a good software configuration. But the hardware i have is not up to the mark.(I belive my well wishers understand what i'm expressing in these lines). Loooooooooong way to go.... powered by performancing firefox

Research In Computer Science

Recent days many times i have faced the following question : what u do as research in computer science ? People who asks this question has the opinion that there is no scope for research is there in Computer science. For the general pyublic computer science means software engineer who earns some big money. I would say that software engineering is only one part of computer science. Computer science is a huge arena. Lots of things are there which are still unexplored. I would like to give a simple example: If we have simulate some parts of brain (read it again that it's not whole brain but only a part) it is still out of reach of we the homosapiens. Forget about all the technical hurdles. First consider the power requirements. As per our knowledge brain requires approx about 10 watts of power but if we try to build a machine which would simulate this, it has been estimated that it would require 1 Giga Watts of electricity. So plenty of things are there which are still out of reach of...

Illusion

What we see with our eyes need not be the same as what it is. The things that looks glorious / awesome @ one point time may not be the same @ another. Let it be anything ., So, it is THE MIND which decides whether it gives happiness or not. To normal individuals it requires something from external world for the mind to feel happier.But the real fuel for happiness is inside the SELF. Many of us would have been already read something simillar to the ideas that i'm spelling out on these lines.But the realistic meaning of these things would be understood only when ONE experiences. Tamil Legend Thiruvalluvar says in one of his Kural: " From what ever things u detach urself u are relived from problems caused by those things " The Bharathi also express the same thing in his Nirpahuvae Nadapaduvae... . So collecting more things (including Money) will cause more problems. Moral Of the Story Is : Please don't depend on any external entity for ur happiness. Be a creator of Ple...

Traffic Speakers

Here @ Pondy one excellent things is the usage of loud speakers(not that much loud) in the traffic signal Points. Nice set of instructions they r giving. Literating the public about traffic rules is not a joke. Places like pondy has all sorts of traffic ranging from Very high speed cars to manual ricksaws. The Bicycle traffic is very heavy here. It remembers me the basic moto of our Nation: Unity Among Diversity.

26 Dec '04

26 December 2004 . No body can forget this day. TSunami affected allmost all the coastal districts of TamilNadu. Yesterday was the second memorial day for people who lost their all in the disaster. Hence, me now living in the Pondy and seeing the traces of Tsunami tragedy even after 2 years, i felt like sharing a few things regarding this. I was talking to a few persons who saw Tsunami. I'm not such an expert in English to register their expressions in English. The gist of what they told is as follows: TSunamic waves were of 2 floors height. The waves losted for only few minutes. It crossed only few meters of Lands. But the disaster made by them are immeasurable. See the diaster is not only by the nature. It is 90% by us(The great Man Kind) only. Belive me it's true. The reasons are: Where ever there were trees on the shore, persons living in those areas doesn't got affected. Even the sand on the sea shore was a protecting point. But we doesn't even left the sand. We ex...

Who Said Sea is Blue ?

Who said ! On my travel on ECR i'm seeing (enjoying) differnt colors of Sea at intervals. To my surprise today the sea was Gray., Last week (if my memory is non-volatile) the sea was like a silver-soup (! is there any thing called silver-soup?) One day i saw the sea in Multi Color. To make the point clear., i'm talking about the color of sea Water, not the color of clouds over the sea. Don't say the color of clouds is reflected on Sea. Even then who said sea is Blue ? What ever the LCD, TFT or Laser TVs we may invent nature is nature ., Man made thing can't even satisfy the (1/Google)% ; (Belive me i'm not an expert in Maths) of nature., The more we deviate from Nature, more the pblms we gonna face., I started realizing that when we start loving nature preferably we don't need any meditation., Thought of going to Beach( Sea Shore) in early mornings (certainly not at 8.00 'O clock). Will try to do in forthcoming days.

Kuyil Thoppu

I don't know whether u pronounced the title correctly. It's related to One of the greatest minds of India Mr.Bharathiyar. This place is in Pondicherry. I was daily passing that place but till yesterday i doesn't knew that this is the place where many of the Bharthiyar's creations were born. He used to spend half of his day at this place. Now i will not forget to give a moral salute to Bharathi when i cross that place.

First Time from Apple

This is the first time i update my blog from Apple Mac OS. A nice collection of tools are there in MAC. Sherlock, OmniOutliner, Automator to name a few. Also i felt very comfortable working with MAC version of MS Office. Some of the themes they have given there are really cool.

Sweet Apples

Since all the experience that i got with computers was thru Windows i normally used to have very good opinion on Win (Ofcourse before meeting Mr.S ., The Engg. Boss of my previous company). Then started the journey on Linux. A compact powerful OS. U know i now recommend others also to go for Linux. Then came the story of Apple machines. UnBelivable. The look of apple machines it self is awesome., Last week i started working on Apple machines., All the applications on apple are quite interesting ., The window animation, the image editing S/W everything are fascinating., Really Sweet Apple.
