Life without Net

I surrendered my Reliance Net connect and got bharti broadband. So no net connection in the home for the past 4-5 days. I am enjoying my free time with music, wimbledon. Hope to up and running online from tomorrow evening.

But, finding little bad when not replying to comments or emails as blogger is restricted in office.

King of Pop

Wake up and switch on the TV - Breaking News says King of Pop passes away...

I was struck with immediate thought of MJ performing Moon Walk.... then, black and white, beat it, the way you make me feel or the majestic thriller ....

He was truly a king of pop., beyond age he attracted crowds for the london show some time back.... No celebrity's personal life went unexplored - so was with MJ.

We will miss you forever.

Indian cricket selectors on opposite track

T20 world cup created a stir in fans mind as bowlers became match winners and proved the boom boom hit theory wrong.

Some of the best performers of the series are:

South Africa - Wayne Parnell
Sri Lanka - Mendis, Murali, Malinga
West Indes - Taylor, Edwards
Pakistan - Saeed Ajmal, Umar Gul, Mohd. Aamer, Afridi

What surprises me the new finds from teams - like Swann - England, Aamer - Pakistan; and ever surprising new talents from Sri Lanka.

What is indian selectors doing ?

Where is the new talent is being promoted.... Where is the replacement for Harbhajan - i dont think Ojha is the right candidate.

Worse, We seem to be happily adopting to 7 batsman team... sad story.

Anger

Why so much of Anger in life?

1. Is it bcoz of frustration from your side?

2. Is it bcoz of inability to control the situation from your side?

3. Is it bcoz of impractical behaviour, questions from the other side?

4. Is it bcoz of authoritative, taken for granted approach from the other side ?

5. or is it simply hard truth turns sour in your mind ???

Addictive music in Kulir 100

What a debut for Bobo Shashi - son of music directors (Sabhesh)-Murali. Kulir 100 music turned out to be damn good, addictive, interesting, peppy, vibrant.

I listened to this album for the first time when the movie released and fell in love with it ever since.

a) Boom Boom song is peppy, techno.
b) Hip hop hurray is latino with wonderful humming, rhythm
c) Manasellam by Rajnith is full of melody
d) Sirakindri parakkalam is lively
e) Nallavan Kettavan has innovation, rap
f) Manasellam unplugged has transcending music, great melody with interesting interludes. Damn superior when compared to normal version.

Dont miss it. Go for it. Sorry for the delayed review.

Confusion

Why so much of confusion in life?

1. Is it bcoz of lack of clarity from your side?

2. Is it bcoz of lack of judgement from your side?

3. Is it bcoz of hypothetical situations, questions from the other side?

4. Is it bcoz of uncertain decision making process?

5. or is it simply non committment?

Dhoni... Dhoni...

28 runs of last two overs... two star batsman on the crease - yousuf pathan, dhoni....

Messed up.... phew... looks like dhoni's mega luck has gone on sick leave from IPL days....

Punch Dialogue

I love punch dialogues. The earliest punch dialogue i remember was from real life from the great "Anna"Durai on the affair with Banumathy - "Naan mutrum thurantha munivarum illai, aval padi thaanda pathiniyum illai".

May be the tamil movie industry fell in love the punch dialogues after that !!!

Rajini gave some mesmerizing one liners and others followed suit over a period of time. My favourite is from Sivaji - " Kanna, singam ennikkum single-a than varum, panninga thaan koottama varum"

Which one you like most?

Vadivelu on stock markets

Vadivelu talking to himself after checking his NAV in MFs:

Yappa yeppa.... what is going on? It has gone up by 60%. IN TV, they said, there is recession, it will come to zero. When the market started recovering, they said, it is only bear market rally, dont buy. They they said, wait for election, it could be a hung parliament. Now, it has hit the roof.

I dont know whether to buy or sell. I am getting confused when i watch tv or read business papers ! Atleast, it is good to see some appreciation on our investment., sing in the rain !!!!

வடிவேலுவின் பொலம்பல் sensex பார்த்து:

யப்பா என்னப்பா நடக்குது இங்கே .... பங்கு சந்தை பறக்குது, என்னோட NAV நல்லா அறுவது% ஏறி போச்சு. என்னமோ சென்செக்ஸ் எரம்கும், ழேரோ ஆகும்ன்னு சொன்னாங்க. ஏறும் போது, இது தாங்காது, இது கரடி கர்ஜனை ன்னு சொன்னாங்க. அப்பொறம், தேர்தல் வருது, தொங்கு பாராளுமன்றம் ன்னு சொன்னாங்க, இப்போ என்னடான்ன இப்படி ஏறி போச்சு.

வாங்கறதா, விக்கிறதா ஒன்னும் புரியலை, ஒரே கண்ணை கட்டிக்கிட்டு வருது !!!

Re-open

இந்த வருடம் ஜூன் எட்டாம் தேதி நனடந்த்த ஒரு கொடுமையான உண்மை சம்பவம்....
இன்று காலை எட்டு மணிக்கு "சுமதி" என்ற அப்பாவி சிறுமி அவளது சொந்த மாமா, தகப்பன், அம்மை எல்லாரும் சேர்ந்து குமார் என்ற ஆட்டோ ஓட்டுனரால் வீட்டில் இருந்து கதற கதற ஆட்டோவில் ஏற்றி பள்ளயில் LKG சேர்க்க பட்டாள்.

English meaning of Manasellam song from Kulir 100 herewith:

Pallavi

Manasellam unnaye ninaithu valikkudhu thozha
Pazhasellam ninaivukku varudhey neril vaada
vaan endru unnaiyum ninaithen
vaanavillai marainthaaye
thirukuralaai vandhu en vaazhvil
iru variyil mudinthaaye

my heart is paining in memory of you
i am reminded of our past - come directly to me
i thought you are a sky
but you disappeared like a rainbow
you came like thirukkural
and ended in two lines

Kan moodinaal irul edhu neeye therikiraay
Naan pesinaal mozhiyaga thaane varugiraay
Kan moodinaal irul edhu neeye therikiraay
Naan pesinaal mozhiyaga thaane varugiraay

when i close my eyes i dont see darkness - but i see u
when i speak you come out as language
when i close my eyes i dont see darkness - but i see u
when i speak you come out as language

Manasellam unnaye ninaithu valikkudhu thozha
Pazhasellam ninaivukku varudhey neril vaada

my heart is paining in memory of you
i am reminded of our past - come directly to me

show me the meaning of being lonely
Tell me why I cant be there where you are
There is something missing in my heart - out

Charanam

karai modhum alaikalai pola ninaivugal mothiduthey
oodhukindra cigarette thundugal kadhaikal solliduthey
thanneeril kumizhiyai pola vanthavan ponaanae
vilaiyaadum maithaanangal mayaanam aagiyadhey
ingu enakkendru ethum illaiye
en palliye mutru pulliye
ini muzhuvathum naan azhuvathum unai ninaithey thozha

your memories are coming like waves of ocean
cigar pieces are telling our story
you came and went like a bubble
play grounds became like burial grounds
i dont have anything here
my school life became full stop
i cry on your memories fully

Kan moodinaal irul edhu neeye therikiraay
Naan pesinaal mozhiyaga thaane varugiraay

when i close my eyes i dont see darkness - but i see u
when i speak you come out as language

enakkirundha orey friend ippe illey
school-kku pogavam pidikkalai
inimey enakkunnu yaar irukka
Kan moodinaal irul ethu neeyae therikiraay
Naan pesinaal mozhiyaaka thaanae varukiraay

Kan moodinaal irul edhu neeye therikiraay
Naan pesinaal mozhiyaga thaane varugiraay

Kan moodinaal irul edhu neeye therikiraay
Naan pesinaal mozhiyaga thaane varugiraay

Manasellam unnaye ninaithu

மனசெல்லாம் உன்னிடம் கொடுத்தேன் வலிக்குது தோழா
பழெல்லாம் நினைவுக்கு வருதே நேரில் வாடா
வான் என்று உன்னையும் நினைத்தேன் வானவில்லாய் மறைந்தாயே
திருகுரளாய் வந்து என் வாழ்வில் இரு வரியில் முடிந்தாயே
கண் மூடினால் இருள் எது நீயே தெரிகிறாய்
நான் பேசினால் மொழியாக தானே வருகிறாய்
கண் மூடினால் இருள் எது நீயே தெரிகிறாய்
நான் பேசினால் மொழியாக தானே வருகிறாய்

கரை மோதும் அலைகளை போல நினைவுகள் மோதிடுதே
ஊதுகின்ற சிகரெட் துண்டுகள் கதைகள் சொல்லிடுதே
தண்ணீரில் குமிழியை போல வந்தவன் போனானே
விளையாடும் மைதனல்கள் மயானம் ஆகியதே
இங்கு எனக்கென்று ஏதும் இல்லையே
என் பள்ளியே முற்று புள்ளியே
இனி முழுவதும் நான் அழுவதும்
உன்னை நினைத்தே தோழா

கண் மூடினால் இருள் எது நீயே தெரிகிறாய்
நான் பேசினால் மொழியாக தானே வருகிறாய்

கண் மூடினால் இருள் எது நீயே தெரிகிறாய்
நான் பேசினால் மொழியாக தானே வருகிறாய்

where the world stops put it back in motion

I didn’t know the world friend had an end

Producers Vs Multiplex owners resolved

Two month stand off between producer and multiplex owner got resolved this week.

In my view, producers in the first place must not bother about bigger share, they must instead ensure they make decent, watchable movies so that fans come back and watch it regularly. Then the share would come automatically !!!

I dont care whether millions spent on a movie, whether on a star or on a set... i want good entertainment, some value for my ticket in the first place !

We all knew how bad our theater conditions were and it was multiplex owners who gave some value for money for movie fans. Happy to note that they resolved the differences and moving ahead !

Trust the release stampede would start now :)

Procurement

Wheat is the major ingredient / input for making bread, biscuits. All private companies make consistent, contracted buying of wheat from farmers across India.

Government also buys wheat and wheat is also getting exported. This is creating competition across various players over a period of time and likely to result in crisis when production is hampered due to natural causes.

My concern is, does the government, FCI have got alternative plans to tackle unforeseen circumstances, protection of price rice for retail customers? I didnt see any major action on Rice price movement.... thats why....

Populism and Economy

Produce

Some one, say a farmer has one acre of land - they toil for 4 months to grow rice, they spend close to 14000-18000 to seed, grow, harvest.

How do they sell?

Government, if you live in Tanjore, cauvery delta buys it back. if the farmer lives anywhere else, middle men buys and sell it. Means, price is variable, it can be lower than the cost of production !

Government sells at Rs.1

Government provides subsidy and sells it at Rs.1 for the poor and needy. But rice is being smuggled across the state and there are innumerable instances of corruption, smuggling, tradingn reported.

Who benefits ?

It is the traders who make money - not the producers, not the consumers ! Price of Rice is hovering around Rs.34/- in open markets now for retail customers.

Ramblings....

Some general Ramblings:

1. Was in Spencer Plaza yesterday., crowd was there but little shopping was carried out by people. Eating out was in full swing although.

2. Markets have gone up substantially. But seems people have missed out the bottom days, and jumped in full swing post election outcome. Jump in midcaps, small caps relfected the severe interest.

3. Chennai's traffic sense is worsening. Some one Over takes you from left side of your car and try U-turn. Inflicted to me thrice last week.

4. Chennai's heat wave was making us to run for cover. Only difference was, breeze was heavy. Otherwise, sweat was same.

5. My net connection has considerably slowed over last 20 days. No clue of why. Gave a complaint but yet to see any positive response. Irritating !
