Diwali the festival of lights may bring joy to humans, but it is an absolute nightmare for pets and animals. Many a times the burst of crackers affect them mentally and some times physically too.<br />
<br />
Many NGOs came out with the plan of Cracker less diwali, Safe Diwali. They even conducted campaigns and explained about the after effects of crackers especially on <b>animals</b>.<br />
<br />
It is for sure that Animals go through lots of pain during the time of diwali. A small sound of cracker will make them run like head-less chicken and they will search for dugout to stay away from the sound.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, there are organizations which talks only about child labour. The fire cracker Manufactures make money by employing young kid for making the crackers.<br />
<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Where are these social reformers going when it comes to slaughtering of Cows, animals, pets during the time of Eid</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Why are they making hell a lot of noise when animals are getting feared because of sound but keeping quiet when they are being cut into pieces.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>There are more number of meat outlets in the country than the firecracker manufacturers. Dont they count on child labour.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Though risk involved in the child labour in a fire cracker industry is much higher in meat outlet, a child labour is a child labour only.</li>
</ul>
<div>
On the other hand, the crackers are burnt even during other festivals also, but the intensity is less compared to diwali. When people can talk about artificial fireworks, why cant they come up with a food that tastes exactly like meat and distribute to the general public, instead of killing the animals</div>
<div>
<br />
Please don't get the feeling that i am talking against my Muslim brothers, Its for all the people belong to any religion who kill the animals and eat the dead remains.</div>
<div>
<br />
The NGOs and the social reform organization are more attracted towards "Cute" "pretty" animals and forget about the "non-cute" non-pretty" ones. Please remember Cuteness and prettyness is subjective and animals should be not be discriminated based on the looks and appearance.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If NGOs or social reform organization plan to ban crackers, let them ban killing of animals also. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hugs and Eid wishes to all my Muslim Brothers & Sisters..</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #009900;"> </span>The so
called “Music Critics” have started using the word “FILLER”
in their reviews. I am not sure how these “so called” Music
critics call the kritis of Mumoorthy's as a “Filler”.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Few Findings :</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
a. Calling Neelayadakshi in paras as
filler and sending chits to vocalists to sing Nanda Laala Nonda Laala
in the concert.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
b. Comparing Maadu Meikkum Kanna &
Aadu Meikkum Jesus with Ranganaayakam (Nayaki)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
c. Comparing the singer with vidwans
of past generation. Its really pathetic to see people comparing the
current generation singers with Stalwarts and vidwans. Sometimes
belittling the Vidwans.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
d. The critic will have not have any
“BENCHMARK” while reviewing the concert. A simple example will be
“Thodi” could have been better. To add salt to the wound, A less
tempo would have been even more better.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
e. Giving the song list to the Singer
after the concert by saying, “I would have loved it” if only
he/she taken “Sri krishnam Bhaja manasa” instead of “Kaddanu
Variki”
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

Was watching Sathiyam TV today morning, An interesting program on the life history of Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar was getting telecasted.<br />
<br />
Both the Script writer and the document reader do not have any knowledge on the music and on the language (Tami/Sanskrit).<br />

</tbody></table>
Shri Nathadi Guruguho in Mayamalavagowla is a master piece by Sri.Muthuswami dikshitar composed on the lord Muruga and the script reader comfortably reading the word "Sri" as " Seeeeri naathadi" and stressing it more on the "eeeee".<br />
<br />
Dont know if these people will rehearse before the show or just air the program just the for the sake of it.<br />

Narakachaturdasi. Chaturdasi is the fourteenth day of krishnapaksha. This
day is dedicated to Naraka. Naraka an asura, the son of Satyabhama.
Satyabhama is said to be an incarnation of Lakshmi or Fortune.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now let us discuss the mythological aspect of
this. Naraka is the Sanskrit word for hell. Hell is another word for misery.
When misery is annihilated fortune automatically springs. Both cannot
co-exist. When Naraka is killed people take bath to get rid of the
pollution. When fortune springs people are happy and partake sweet
things and celebrate with row of lighted lamps called Deepavali. This
appears to be inner significance of Narakachaturdasi and Deepavali.</span><br />

I dont have any complaints about the music, and it doesn't mean that I liked it completely. <br />
<br />
This is the first message from the Music Choreographer “Shankar Tucker” (ST)<br />

To preemptively address any arguments about pronunciation, there are different dialects of Tamil, in which the lyrics can either be pronounced "Ashai Mugam" or "Asai Mugam".<br />

ST is no Freaking god to change the dialects or invent a new dialect in tamil. Its completely stupid, if people do not know the language or the way how the words should be pronounced. I am sure that ST is having more of information and less of knowledge which leads to such stupid albums.<br />
<br />
The moment I hear the words Ashai Mugam Maranthu pochey, I started thinking about “Collector Durai”. Why would someone think of Robert William Ashe (ஆஷ்) , Was he So Smart ? He is one among the thousands of Britishers responsible for all the ills, poverty and ignorance in india, and finally killed by the great martyr Vanchinathan Iyer.<br />
<br />
Is that connection what made the Iyer Girls to sing “Ashai” Mugam.<br />
<br />
No, wait wait.. thoughts shifted to Arthur Ashe (ஆஷ்). A great Tennis player who remains to be the only black man to win the Wimbledon championship.<br />
<br />
I am sure that the Great “Mahakavi bharathi” never in his dreams would have written about Robert william Ashe (ஆஷ்) or Arthur Ashe (ஆஷ்).<br />
<br />

You need to be very kind, soft with your kids. It not only shows your affection to your kid(s) but will also teach them in an in-direct way that the kid should be kind with his friends relatives.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;">A very effective approach is sometimes referred to as 'Stop, look and listen'. If your kid needs to speak to you then stop whatever you're doing, look directly at the child and listen to what he or she has to say. Giving your children your attention in this manner sends a strong signal that you are interested in what they have to say and that you value their views, thoughts and opinions. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: xx-small;">(Thanks to Parenting for Dummies)</span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;">It not only helps the kid, but surely will help you when you wanted to say something to your kid, she/he responds in the same way you did. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;">At 30's you might not understand this, when you are in your late 70's and if your kid doesn't listen to you, You dont have to blame anyone other than yourself.</span></div>Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05360324510999649931noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714954874122620203.post-44581834945994172652011-07-25T17:38:00.001+05:302011-07-25T17:52:22.732+05:30Lord Krishna - Recursion<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gone are the days I used to write programs to test my recursion skills.

One among them is the one liner appreciation / critical view of a music critic on the Mridangam / Ghatam / Khanjeera Maestros/Vidwans/players/artists. This trend is continuing for a long period of time and there has been no improvement or there has be no step taken by the Professional music Critics to learn what to write. Now a days new trend has started, Rasikas started to give their views on the concert. </span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">This was the status post I made on the month of september in facebook ..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">5 + 6 = 11 + 6 = 17, Oh My Dear-o-Dear! September should be proud of itself! We are blessed to live during the time of the Illustrious Thirumalai Nambi Seshagopalan , My beloved Guru Maestro Guru Kaaraikkudi Mani and Legend Lalgudi Sri. G. Jayaraman... My sincere Pranams.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">________________________________________________________________</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">And this blog continues from there...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">What's so special about the greatest of great musicians (TNS, Lalgudi, KRM)... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">a. To keep it simple, These three musicians are the living legends and can never be compared to ANYOTHER MUSICIANS OF THE PAST OR THE PRESENT and FUTURE TOO. I think we (I) are all blessed to live during the time of these great carnatic Vidwans.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">b. There are 10000s concerts that are floating on the net with famous combination, great combination, good combination, which are good, nice, soothing, and there is nothing called a “PRIME” combination other than TNS-Lalgudi-Manisir's concert. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">c.Prime in the sense, They are inimitable</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">d.They cannot be compared to others, either being together on the stage or as an individual . One can say, they make an unbeatable Prime combo in the field of Carnatic music.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">e.They are the only Virtuous Musicians, Quality Teachers, Best composers and top of it they are the BEST OF BEST PERFORMERS at any time in the history of carnatic music. A person can be a great teacher or best composer, but will fail miserably when it comes to presenting the same. These giants are best in whatever they do and bring the best out of anything they create in a matchless style.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><u><b>Number Game ( 5, 11, 17)</b></u></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">b. The difference is six, Six is the number that differentiate their Birth day, but I feel, that is the number that bring them close to each other. Number six represents the like mindedness and friendliness. Like mindedness in the sense, they just think and live(ing) for music and nothing else.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">c. The sum of 5,11,17 comes to 6, which is the smallest Perfect number.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">d. 6 is the only number that is both the sum and product of three consecutive numbers ( 1*2*3 or 1+2+3)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">e. There are 6 veda angas</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">The Carnatic music world has seen many many many many musicians in the past, seeing good amount musicians currently and sure will see more and more musicians in the future too, But it can never see musicians like Lalgudi Sri Jayaraman or Madurai Sri T.N.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">18th and 19th century had seen three Great composers who enriched the carnatic music and 20th and 21st century is proud to have THE Best Composer, Best Musician and Best Teacher and Greatest of Great Peformers in the field of carnatic music. <b>Sri T.N.Seshagopalan</b>, <b><a href="http://www.lalgudis.com/">Lalgudi Sri G.

<div style="text-align: justify;">Finally moved to Android Mobile Samsung Galaxy S. Frankly speaking, I didnt do much R&D before buying this Sleek/Weightless/Neat/Perfect Android Mobile (Eclair 2.1 – Upgrades are already released in many parts of the world for Froyo 2.2, but not available in india).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are few glitches in Android 2.1 and hope it will be rectified with the Froyo update. I am waiting for 2.2 like everyone. Out of few glitches, the most problamatic one is “WiFi”. I dont know how the testing team of Eclair released with this glaring bug.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For me wifi will was working smoothly for a month. I used to get it connected @ home and @ office. The glitch started here, In office I need to connect via Proxy and @ home nothing. There is no profile settings for WiFi connection, I need to manually edit the proxy based on the location I am in. Fine, though its a problem, I got an workaround to get this problem solved. The real problem came after a month. There was frequent disconnection of WiFi @ home. To Keep it Simple, I was not able to browse. Did a Factory Reset, started working fine. In 2 days time, It stopped working. Factory Reset, It started working fine. 2 Days, Its stopped. This time I really wanted to find what the problem is? Since my office was very close to my home, I shuttled 6 times between office and home to check the problem. I installed app's one-by-one, Configured step-by-step, All were fine. Just the moment when I configured my office WiFi and set the proxy and when I came back home, the problem started.</div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<div style="text-align: justify;">The IP address that got assigned to mobile in office was “10.” series and doesn't get refreshed / cleared when I come back home (“192.” series). This is a major Bug, and I feel samsung will surely take this into account and get the problem solved in the next patch (Froyo 2.2).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One thing is clear, IP is the problem. Made settings such a way that, Marked Use Static IP and assigned the IP Address , gateway, DNS @ home, It worked like charm. Came back to office, I need do the Same thing again, Change IP, Gateway, DNS,..... and top of it, I need to set proxy... Now its working @ office too..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Problems :</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">a. I need to change all these settings when ever I hooked on to a network.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">b. I need to set the proxy if its available/Not available.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">c. I need to keep tampering with my WiFi Settings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">d. I need to keep searching for the Static IP Address each and every time if I get hooked to an unknown WiFi.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now the problem is solved, but changing settings is a pain in the wrong place.. Searched for a Wifi Profiler. I got “Wifi Static” from Android Market. Oh Man, The problem is 70 solved. Create Wifi Account, “Generate” button does the rest. Automatically picks the IP, DNS and other stuffs. One thing is that you dont get the proxy enabled/disabled for this profiler, I think even these guys failed to realize that proxy is more important in work environment. Now all I need to do is, Just enable/Disable the proxy when ever I enter/leaving office.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Problem : </b>Wifi will give trouble when you connect to more than one network (with or without proxy – To be specific With Proxy)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Resolution : </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>a. Always Keep Static IP address. Give the Necessary details, like IP, Gateway,DNS.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>b. Install WiFi Profiler (WiFi Static or some other Equivalent)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Btw, You <b>cannot </b>get into market or do any operation that is related to Internet from mobile Applications like Gtalk,Gmail,Y!, Market, …...... other than the <b>browser</b> when connected over <b>PROXY</b>. Hope this bug will be rectified in Android2.2. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The cost of the mobile is slightly on the higher end, but it has everything to beat other iPhone's that is floating in the market.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fingers Crossed, Already a month delayed on Froyo's Update. Waiting to Root the phone to get its Juice...</div><br />

I have got some brickbats and good number of boquets. You can have a look at the Mothers' day post in <a href="http://it-all-happens.blogspot.com/2010/05/why-mothers-day.html">http://it-all-happens.blogspot.com/2010/05/why-mothers-day.html</a>.<br />
<br />
Our mother really sacrifices a lot for us to show us the beauty of this world. I always love my mother no matter what. There is always a situation where a mother scolds or getting angry on her children. Its not because she hates them. Its because she wants her kid to be perfect in all cases and wants the best of us. Every one of us were in our mother's womb for 9 months. I am sure that there is no doubt in this. :-) <br />
<br />
If (Read the clause if) she hates me, I would still love her unconditionally. She owns my life. She had fed me from her womb to till now for me to live in this world.<br />
<br />

<br />
In simple words, Mother's love is like (EXACTLY SAME) as God's love. Please understand one thing, its not that we are so loveable that our mother is loving us second-by-second. Its her nature and nothing else. No one in this world can hate their mother, All we should do is do our duty promptly..Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05360324510999649931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714954874122620203.post-31294816248630990162010-07-15T09:47:00.000+05:302010-07-15T09:47:58.775+05:30Eat @ home....Few thoughts. Many people will not agree with me, But what the heck.<br />
<br />
1. Try to have food by sitting on the floor. To be harsh, Dont eat while sitting on the bed, where you spent the whole night sleeping.<br />
<br />
2. It also means, that you should not walk or stand while having meals.<br />
<br />
3. Can't you have a plate for yours, instead of eating in a common plate. To be precise, eat in your own plates.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkH11rSWjqTBvi9q56nyNG_hf_r6bPOGFGDN-gsIhOOcrk9Rvltm9Ur2LJv5vPSt3_Fgk_7Wctn0h7F98GBfwUmweiTyVeEux6SwLurWRLjcmIhN9aV4nVu5dxZtlPUFLelZgrTQlIOjs/s1600/Food.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="152" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkH11rSWjqTBvi9q56nyNG_hf_r6bPOGFGDN-gsIhOOcrk9Rvltm9Ur2LJv5vPSt3_Fgk_7Wctn0h7F98GBfwUmweiTyVeEux6SwLurWRLjcmIhN9aV4nVu5dxZtlPUFLelZgrTQlIOjs/s200/Food.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
4. Do not attend, "buffet" meal, NOR THROW a party.<br />
<div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>(btw, There are very good Scientific Explanations for all these.)</b></span></div><br />
5. First and foremoest whatever we eat should be offered to the god as ' Naivedyam' then only we can/should offer it to guests and finally we should eat. I am not sure how many of us remember what is 'Naivedyam'.<br />
<br />
6. While on tour, Always try atleast to have meals <br />
a. Only with like minded people<br />
b. Only with at minded people's house<br />
c. Only in canteen run by like minded people<br />
To be precise : Eat Only in places where you are comfortable performing your nithya karma (Nithya vidhi).<br />
<br />
Ok, Why all of a sudden this post. Fine, If not @ early 30's then when is my question. Why do we need to eat @ hotels, when we have nice people @home to cook and serve us nice and clean food. <br />
<br />
I stopped going to 3* hotels or 5* hotels or TopStar “Veg & Non-Veg” Hotel. Its just that their vegetarian is not “Pure” Vegetarian. <br />
<br />
On tour, Its really tough to find a clean/neat/good “Only Veg” restaurant in all parts of the places, but it easy to find such places if you are inclined to eat only in such “Good/Pure Veg” Hotels. <br />
<br />
I hope my last and final “Buffet” is already over (Official Annual Meet).Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05360324510999649931noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714954874122620203.post-18619415106867117482010-06-10T08:11:00.002+05:302010-06-12T22:03:27.388+05:30Hypocrites<div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I am sure many of us know what is Arangetram? In simple words it is Debut on-stage performance of a student. There will be always a high-level of enthusiasm with the parents of the boy/girl when the dates of arangetram getting nearer.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Generally a mridangam arangetram will be divided into 3 parts.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Part 1 : Pre thani avarthanam<br />
Part 2 : Speech by guests (Yeah! Few Hypocrites, Read it carefully not all are hypocrites)<br />
Part 3 : Post Thaniavarthanam</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I was really shocked to hear the speech by one of the “famous” mridangam artiste in one of the mridanga arangetram held recently. The speech could have been better and it was just like his playing. I always used to think there is a huge difference between “famous” and “best” artist and this famous artiste was self-portraying on the stage rather talking about the performance of the kid.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<li><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></b><span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"> </span>Who wants to know if he has “NOT” taken money to give a speech for arangetram?</li>
<li><span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"> </span>Who wants to know if he is running a Magazine?</li>
</ol>Many might feel that these things do not matter if they are said on stage. Yes! Yes! Yes! Hold on Please! I too agree this, IF AND ONLY IF they are true.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">a. Coming to the speech, Sure he would have got concerts on the arangetram day, but sure he wouldn’t have got the money on par with the arangetram speech. Then why such a hypocritical talk saying “I came only for the arangetram by cancelling all concerts”…. And the talk continued like this… “Concerts may come any day.. But arangetram will not come all the time”. I really don’t understand his mindset. The talk was very very phoney,.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">b. The most shocking thing he said was “I am not here in as a cheif guest for money!”.. </div><ul><li> I am not saying its wrong to give money</li>
<li> It’s the duty of the parents to honor the chief guest to the maximum extent. </li>
<li>The musicians should be treated with highest amount of respect”.</li>
</ul>On the other hand,<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"></div><ul><li>The musicians should not talk rubbish on stage.</li>
<li>Should not talk whatever comes to mind, when he has a mic before him.</li>
<li>Should NOT talk as if he is a Buddha and others are terrorists.</li>
<li>Do not Self-Portrait. It looks really childish!</li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal">He knows to himself how much money he has got for the arangetram, yet on stage with no fear, no self-respect he was saying “I didn’t come to this arangetram for money” , that too in front of the audience, Parents, Kid. The fact is everyone knows that he is honoured. Why this double standards? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">He even went to the extent of saying "who ever writes bad about me i dont care". Even i am running a magazine, i will write in that. I dont know for what context he has said that. To my knowledge he is not running a magazine. He might be thinking "Thinnai peechu - Vetti kathai" as magazine.. God only knows.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Are such musicians needed in the field of divine music? Only time will give the answer.</div><div class="MsoNormal">__________________________________________________________________<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">P.S : I am not commenting about all the musicians, “THERE ARE FEW MUSICIANS” who are contaminating this divine field with such sinful act. It will not even take two seconds for me to write the name of the musician on this blog, I am not doing it because he has been already expelled from an organization and I don’t want him to be out of the music field too.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">1. Want to give a unique gift to your mom.. call xxxxxxx.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">2.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Bull shit, I was literally annoyed with such kind of advertisements. I do not understand what so special on this Mother’s day to show ones love / respect to their mother. Don’t we show it daily? Or only on this day you think about your beloved mom!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Now don’t tell, ON THIS MOTHER’S DAY One should treat their mother with special love, special care, special respect, treating special and keeping extremely happy. If you are going to show special love to your mother, it should be on all days. If you are going to show very special love, it should be on every hour. Then why do we need a stupid day to show the “so called” love. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If some don’t think of their mother every moment of life or someone thinks that mother’s day is so special and rest of the days is not so-special then those creatures are not fit to live on earth. They don’t deserve a place in this world.</span></span><br />

</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Either if you show your love or not, the love and blessings of a mother will never gets changed or deteriorated to her children.

</span></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Thought:</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> One in-sane idiot from some stupid country would have started this special day. Could be for the following reasons</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">a. Was not living with his mother (reasons unknown)</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">b. Was away from mother because he was not liking family environment at early age</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">c. Wanted to live with friends and partners</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And so on… the list can never be completed. One fine day at the bottom of the heart, he would have got sympathy on her mom and would have started this Stupid day-syndrome. If someone not living with his/her mother let him/her worry throughout the life for not being with his/her mother, rather showing the phony love on one particular day.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

</div><div style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in;">Ordered Pizza from one of the famous pizza outlets in india. “Pizza Corner”. Since my place is close to one of the outlets (Pizza Corner Velachery), I always get the stuff delivered from that outlet. One of the worst promises that will be made by the “Phone order taking girls/Guys” will be “Your pizza will be delivered with in XX minutes”. Till now I have never got the pizzas on time and I dont want them to hurry too. The way these guys drive the Scooters makes lives miserable for pedestrians. If they are in a real hurry, The public on the road will get affected or this guy will skid from the vehicle and sustain serious injury. Many of these guys are not wearing the helmets too. Moreover, I don't want to “EAT” free. Considering the traffic let them take a grace time of 15 to 20 minutes. </div><div style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br clear="none" style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;" /></div><div style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxfQ22wo1Lec-gskpPiOw4oQ7h_CSMugHHW9mo17c3uq06riowkxNQk5httJq6jdXnIX-Q38ykSNWkR_3Q5rG6BOlNiRTrFiT9PQ2ZljAPLB6yJDbi3SgzH9hfjQhteiN6mxqLjepu_04/s1600/IMG_0950.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxfQ22wo1Lec-gskpPiOw4oQ7h_CSMugHHW9mo17c3uq06riowkxNQk5httJq6jdXnIX-Q38ykSNWkR_3Q5rG6BOlNiRTrFiT9PQ2ZljAPLB6yJDbi3SgzH9hfjQhteiN6mxqLjepu_04/s200/IMG_0950.jpg" width="200" /></a>I know many people who waits for the “extra few minutes” to pass and then get the pizzas for free. Don't know what the mind set of the people is?. Always eat free...Huh! nice family! Nice culture!! On the other hand, sometimes the delivery boys come to deliver after 2hours of time. It has happened to myself and there may be many such “un”successful stories.</div><div style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br clear="none" style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;" /></div><div style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieqC9vtqLmAswHnJ_MAZYj6A1MjlSNNPlKCBRT2mt3R2W91KLCALo4NbVDx2BbHai0Q8QrWXrFAY2pcRiy4C-i1GkmyUss9_zvXAuGOwMpILTKSohU5yCLEbUHonWzJ_0YpXNx9o2ARGg/s1600/IMG_0948.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieqC9vtqLmAswHnJ_MAZYj6A1MjlSNNPlKCBRT2mt3R2W91KLCALo4NbVDx2BbHai0Q8QrWXrFAY2pcRiy4C-i1GkmyUss9_zvXAuGOwMpILTKSohU5yCLEbUHonWzJ_0YpXNx9o2ARGg/s200/IMG_0948.jpg" width="200" /></a>Fine, they can say “better late than never”, but what about the order. If you see the image you will understand what I am coming to. The whole extra toppings got glued on to the top of the box. All I got was a Pizza Base. This has already happened once and I complained to the manager of Pizza corner velacherry (Pizza corner velachery). Pizza corner's manager was so nice, he went to extent of replacing the order. In that case I have to wait for one more hour without eating. I left it off. Today again the same thing happened, extra cheese got stuck on the top of the box. I was so damn hungry I cant even shout at the guy. If I complain what will be result? The Pizza Corner manager will be friendly, nice and will ask me to wait for another hour for replacing the same.</div><div style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNsI_6d__H-m6n3Ze3yjW6jZ4RlQTqfxt5OrDAtICaPkZoG8boyXkJuV0uNk2amnED-atXl2N0n5pUFZXrr0S-SxVk6_IueTx3swdoWw1yokylY4Q96xZq7C85qOmP8Y_MkdTFhhD3dk/s1600/IMG_0955.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNsI_6d__H-m6n3Ze3yjW6jZ4RlQTqfxt5OrDAtICaPkZoG8boyXkJuV0uNk2amnED-atXl2N0n5pUFZXrr0S-SxVk6_IueTx3swdoWw1yokylY4Q96xZq7C85qOmP8Y_MkdTFhhD3dk/s200/IMG_0955.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in;">A Delicious food will not be delicious unless it is served clean and neat.

I am sure the cover is sealed with an age old technique of showing the open end to the candle flame. It does not look nice. Infact it looks UGLY. Even in the road side groundnut shop they seal the cover neatly and its done with an electrical machine. Cant the Pizza Corner use the small size zipper bag for this or use a machine to seal the cover.</div><div style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br clear="none" style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;" /></div><div style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzves99P2RBYpsUW8ZoWnNQLodiA18eW7IXZWagwRGlvxnwlc5TN3psy3yLjOVG2fjseJh04o7ObW9WlCH-loZTv8Gw9dmCNU3mm-AD-wK_ZJyxpZCVaac3H8U_UrZJ38akL9kGorhgns/s1600/IMG_0956.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzves99P2RBYpsUW8ZoWnNQLodiA18eW7IXZWagwRGlvxnwlc5TN3psy3yLjOVG2fjseJh04o7ObW9WlCH-loZTv8Gw9dmCNU3mm-AD-wK_ZJyxpZCVaac3H8U_UrZJ38akL9kGorhgns/s200/IMG_0956.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>On top of it, we spent around Rs.600.00 for such a nasty service.

Was a great day to me! Such is the happiness one can never explain it in words or show by act. On hearing “Kaanchi Kamakoti Sri Jayendra saraswathi swamigal” visiting vishnupuram (My mothers native place), I just drove to vishnupuram on 19th night. I should have gone to George high School Vishnupuram to seek the blessings that night itself, but couldnt make it happen.<br />
<br />
20th morning, 7.15 AM my perimma shouted “Sriraaamaaa Perivaaaa Aaasirvatham panralaam” kalambudaaaa.... She didnt complete the sentence, I was ready! I was really waiting for the auspicious moment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Np8mt4sufhfWJsffUJMm49vXSyo7ZdJfxAyP3PfpVDc_v7nSzjGdXxBWFiUlJM0rknlFKOsHGrUtxaIOLf-gRmVXNi3aEMrNB4vBhiW93kTpX12uWbhX-FfAV-SKvdo9WoejY9bZnPo/s1600/IMG_0866.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Np8mt4sufhfWJsffUJMm49vXSyo7ZdJfxAyP3PfpVDc_v7nSzjGdXxBWFiUlJM0rknlFKOsHGrUtxaIOLf-gRmVXNi3aEMrNB4vBhiW93kTpX12uWbhX-FfAV-SKvdo9WoejY9bZnPo/s200/IMG_0866.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />
I am stunned by the energy level of Swamigal, on 19th night he had a strenuous journey visiting Aaduthurai, Kabisthalam and finally landed in Vishnupuram after 9.30 in the night attended the function in George high school and biksha vandhanam @ kamakoti mama's house. 20th Morning, It was @ 7.20 AM I was inside Sheshuaam (Seshu- akam - place where he stayed) , already people started coming in and got the blessings of Swamigal. Oh my “god”ness, Never can explain such a happy moment.<br />
<br />
It was a blissful two hours of time I spent with swamigal, got the blessings, walked behind the car to sivan temple and mariamman temple. I really do not want to go back home, but I had to go to office and Jaya Jaya sankara Hara Hara Sankara sound was slowly fading from my ears, but in mind I had nothing but the kamala-vadanam and chaaru-nethram of Swamigal. I really felt, I got everything in life after this two hours of my time with Swamigal.<br />

<b>My Question & Thought :</b><br />
<br />
Yudishthirans questions : Kim japan muchyathe jandur janma samsara bhandanath. I really dont understand / know why yudhishthiran has asked this question to bheeshma when LORD krishna was next to him (with him) throughout his life period. On the other hand, if only yudhishthiran didnt asked this question we wouldnt have got the great vishnu sahasranamam or the lahu sahasranamam “Sri Rama Rama Rameti, Rame Rame Manorame; Sahasrenama tattulyam, Rama Nama Varanane”.. Yet, many of us dont have time to recite the vishnu sahasranamam or the learned scholors ( pandits, phd's, m.phill's and what not's) dont even have the time to recite the Lakhu sahasranamam “shree Rama Rama Rameti”..Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05360324510999649931noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714954874122620203.post-42528731040289772852010-03-26T09:21:00.002+05:302010-04-24T11:50:01.876+05:30Legal - Pornography<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWRoQzJHT9Bpbm4WPg37QRvNKJq3eDFyM6dBnz2ZYgdP1_vYuywIN9EC_n4v70P6UM8X_RpUL3vYEunsWsLH7-zaFT_auz0eKFB7EA-Mgw9TF9pe6xQILSeunZ9gdFm2g2Y5avzm1OruM/s1600/no+porn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

If anyone in India is doing such uncivilized act, he/she can be sentenced to rigorous imprisonment and fine under the Section 292 IPC. It’s a crime to sell the Playing cards where backside is portrayed with obscene naked pictures of men/women in pornographic postures.<br />
<br />
We all know that an orthopedic surgeon was arrested under the IPC Section 67 of Information technology act. All he did was making pornographic pictures and selling them over the internet.<br />
<br />
Currently the most famous “Terrorist helping” journal is selling pornography in the form of news. Yeah! Who else other than <a href="http://www.nakkheeran.in/">http://www.nakkheeran.in</a>. From this website we can download the complete “CD” of Nithyananda (Read: <a href="http://it-all-happens.blogspot.com/2010/03/divine-cults-oops-should-be-profane.html">Profane Cults</a>) with other tamil actresses by paying subscription for the journal. Is this a political journal or pornographic magazine?<br />
<br />
Everyone in india knows that Nakkheran is famous for spreading fake news and they write spicy things in the journal to sell the copy and nothing more. It was clearly evident when they released nakkheeran journal with the photo of Velupillay prabhakaran after his death.<br />

On top of it we get to watch free Porno in one of the most famous channel of Tamilnadu, Sun TV. Just to increase the rating the pornography video was telecasted for 3 consecutive days and after that there was no “news” about the issue.<br />
<br />
Why the @#$$@^$%& government does not take any action against the “mushy face” a.k.a “Veerapppan’s close associate” a.k.a an editor/publisher of the Tamil magazine Nakkheeran.<br />
Why the Government is not taking any action against the Sun-TV. Oops! I am sorry I should not ask that because “Sun-TV and government” are one and the same, it’s just another business run by the “Nidhi” family.<br />
<br />
One thing is for sure, if there is a Web-competition on porno movies surely <a href="http://www.nakkheeran.in/">http://www.nakkheeran.in</a> will top the list.<br />

Swamiji! Swamiji!” … “Bhagavan Bhagavan Bhagavan” Dont get panic on hearing these words. The current trend of india is just revolving around the swamiji and their “miracles”, either be it a healing course or being a spiritual “self-realiasation” course there are many people who are willing/craving to participate and fall into the trap. The general public thinks that they can get easy money and easy fame if they fall on the feet of so called “Swamijis”. On the other hand, public doesnt know that they are falling into a “In-bound” maze which doesnt have an exit at all.<br />
<br />
These “so called swamiji's” are up with a great business mind and keeping the local politicians happy, and surviving only with the help of their political background and money power. Innocent people are falling in trap because of BLIND faith and not knowing the true “color” of the so called gurus. <br />
<br />
Its sad to know that these cults calling themselves as “Incarnation of God” sometimes even calling themselves as God. Do they mean that its so easy to see the god just by giving money or doing “sevice” to the guru. I dont want to get in detail on the word “SERVICE” I am leaving it to the imagination of the readers. It is not only that people are getting into the trap of “Big-Business Swamiyaars” they also fall into the trap of “Kutti-Kutti-Poli Saamiyaar”. Now a days daily news papers thrive only because of this cults. <br />
<br />
Premananda, Shivasankara Baba, Nithyananda, Dwivedi, Trivedi, chaturvedi....... the list is endless. We just know only few people who got caught and there are thousands and thousands of people who are just hiding under the safron coated clothes calling themselves as swamiji. Just by doing some “Magic” these guys are calling themselves as Swamiyaars. They should call themselves as magicians and not as cults. If magicians are god, to me “David blaine” is God of Gods. These cults should undergo a crash course with David blaine before getting into such acts. :-)<br />
<br />
Just by reading ramayana, mahabharatha, geetha and quoting phrases from them will not make one a guru. Its all about how one is leading the life. Thousands and thousands of years back valluvan has written this in one single line, If only we try to follow this “every one is god”.<br />

One such is the Abhirami maal in purasaiwalkam. My personal opinion is, its a place where you just lose money for nothing. You wont find anything good for yourself or for your family (Kids too).<br />
<br />
There are only 4-5 entertainment areas inside the very very SMALL building. A snow world, Dashing Cars (Renamed as Kissing Cars), Scary home (Ghost house), Kids Area, Fish world (Aquarium) and a common public eating area (Can never call this a food court).<br />
<br />
Snow world, Costs Rs.150 per person (No exclusion for Kids even if they are less than 5 years). Maximum of 20 minutes is allowed inside the Show Hall (Its not a world, Its a Hall and nothing more). All you can find is a Small IGLOO not constructed using iceblocks but with bricks. You can also find an ice slider (MAX 20 feet) and you are allowed to slide only once. Even though there was not so much crowd (I could count 20 persons inside the hall) the care taker was adament in stopping us from going for a second slide.<br />
<br />
No way, this can be compared with the Snow world in Esselworld-mumbai (Skate area) or the Snow-world in Hyderabad. You get solid 1 hour time for Rs.200. Huge place, good play areas inside the snow world arena.<br />
<br />

It even went to the extent of propagating that “everyone can have the divine darshan of mount manasarovar and Amarnath Ice Lingam”. I couldnt find anything of that kind inside the small hall.<br />
<br />
Yes, 20 mins over and We were sent out by the care takers. The Rs.150 also includes a hot dinks. I knew it because I read this in the web site. I dont know how many of them are aware of it. We were not given unless we are asked for. At the end, I regretted for asking for the hot drinks. It tasted YUCK. Water + Color Powder + Salt was served in the name of a soup. Yes, we wasted it. Cant help much. I am a spoit brat when it comes to food. After eating my mom's cooking all these years nothing comes closer and my wife is following my mom's footsteps.<br />
<br />
Dashing Cars (Kissing cars), Old book with a new cover. Way too costly, you have to pay Rs.40 For single seat, Rs.70 for double and Rs.80 for baby + Adult. You get exactly 240 Seconds. Done.<br />
<br />
Fish world, 20 Fish tanks in a squalid room closed completely. No Air condition. You will start sweating the moment you enter. You spend Rs.20 for getting sweat.<br />
<br />
Kids area, I really didnt care to enter into the room I was waiting outside for 45 mins. I was upset and felt that I have wasted my time, moreover my kids were not happy too.<br />
<br />
You are not allowed to take one snap in any of the places. If you want Mall employees will take a photo “Do touch up” and will sell it to you for a minimal cost of Rs.100. I have never seen such things before. Remember you are not supposed to take photo using your mobile too. I saw some people taking photos using their mobile, but I wasnt interested after seeing the posters on the walls saying “Camera not allowed”<br />
<br />
Wont we get the value for the money we spend in such malls. Are we taken for a ride or is it the same situation in other places also. Yes, I have been to many malls before but never had such a bad experience like I had in Abhirami mall.<br />
<br />
Abhiraami the name says “Who is attractive every moment of time”. In the case of Abhirami maal, it is repulsive every moment of time.Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05360324510999649931noreply@blogger.com8
