Top 5 reasons why I love Election 2009

-
Here is the top 5 list !!

5. I get to refresh my "political GK". For instance I had forgotten there was a person called Naveen Patnaik - had this election not brought the seat sharing issue - I would have totally forgotten him and I might have lost the Rs. 1 Crore worth question someday.

4. Pink Chaddis did have an effect after all. Now Mr.Muthalik is off to making sure this election is corruption fee. He has taken his eyes off the women of Bangalore - you can all drink and dance - till the election is over.

3. Newspaper has become fun to read. Can now read the goofups ( one politician in Karanataka in a rally thundered do not vote for party A - and just a week back he had moved to party A !! - its true )

2. You will get to know how good your country is and how good you are doing financially - and at the same time turn another page and you will get to know how bad your country has become, and how pathetic you are doing financially. 

1. No power cuts in Bangalore. It seems the Bangalore Govt is working extra hours to ensure there will not be any power cuts till election ends. So enjoy power while it lasts folks !!

    appada! finally the rowdies are doing some noteworthy "moral policing".. wonder why they had to wait till the elections to realize that corruption is more rampant and actually harmful than ppl drinking/dancing in bangalore!

    You Missed one more thing... Economy stimulus will happen as all parties start spending and distribute wealth for votes and to conduct meetings...
    Itz kind of a stimulus in India as politicians and political parties get the tax payer's money when they were in government....The only time they spend that money is during elections...

    Yes I missed the money aspect - saw the numbers the other day and it is mind boggling. I guess Indian elections costs are fast catching up with US elections.

Shahul Hameed still lives...

-
Today I was listening to Thiruda Thiruda - A.R.Rahman's 3rd movie which whenever I listen transforms me to the slogging days of 12th Standard. However, I was listening to Raasaathi en usuru ennuthilla and remembered the voice - Shahul Hameed - the unfortunate singer who died so young in a car crash near Chennai in 1998 or around that time. I was appreciating the intense song the way Shahul Hameed had song with so much passion and life - I felt sad. How unfortunate - he could have been a great singer with his high pitch and powerful voice. However, he still lives on. 10 years down the line, a soul thought about him. Isn't that wonderful. Very few can leave a mark on the world they lived - it is easy for artists - musicians, painters, singers, dancers, actors,writers. What will people like me leave behind? Anyway, Shahul Hameed - your voice is immortal. Thanks for the great song.

How to become a Java Developer?

-
Who is this post for? Anyone trying to switch careers ( I was in mainframes, asp then php developer then a swing developer before I switched to this web-app java development), or who is already in Java and wants to get to the next level. What this post is about? Few years back I was slogging on a swing app without knowing what the market was all about - though the swing app taught me the good and bad about Java - it did not help me in getting a job. This post is a guideline for that directionless soul... this.post : Heres some philosophy of mine. Ask yourself - how much did you spend last year on books on technology? If technology is your livelihood, think of it as an investment. You need to invest a lot ( and read a lot ) to get good returns. So do not hesitate to buy books, magazine subscriptions - its worth every penny/paisa/rouble. Lets start. Step 1 : Get to know Java's strength. Assuming it was me years ago, happily coding php in dreamweaver and nodding along with the posters

Avalum Naanum Lyrics

-
Image
This is my translation of Avalum Naanum by Madhan Karky for the movie Acham Yenbathu Madamaiyada. Yet another masterpiece by AR Rahman - the music goes to the background letting the  lyrics shine. The movie name means - Fear is foolishness a phrase from a famous old tamil song by Kannadasan. The director of this movie - Gautam Menon, a Malayalee, names all his movie names with beautiful tamil phrases - and hard to pronounce too at times! Vinnaithaani Varuvaaya ( Will you cross the sky to come to me ) Vaaranam Aaiyram ( 1000 Elephants ) Veetaiyaadu Vilayaadu ( Hunt and Play ) Pachaikili Muthucharam ( Green Parrot and Pearl Necklace ) The song is full of comparisons for She and I. Sounds beautiful if you understand even a little bit of Tamil. Avalum Naanum Amuthum Thamizhum Avalum Naanum Alaiyum Kadalum She and I Amrit and Tamil [ Tamil is as sweet as Amrit - the oldest comparison for Worlds oldest language ] She and I Waves and Sea Avalum Naanum Thavamum Arul
