Lyrics of Paasa Mozhi from Poo
Paasa mozhi pesum iru mazhalai paruvam uyirai unarum neram idhu thaano

oh paasa mozhi pesum iru mazhalai paruvam uyirai unarum neram idhu thaano
oh aala mara madiyil siru poovin nizhalil pesi pazhagum nesam idhu thaano
thaayin madi thavazhum vayadhil veru uravo

oh paasa mozhi pesum iru mazhalai paruvam uyirai unarum neram idhu thaano
oh aala mara madiyil siru poovin nizhalil pesi pazhagum nesam idhu thaano

Who cares about poor consumer?
Who cares about consumer in this poor country? No one....Want to know Why... Here I go !!!
1. RBI cuts repo rate by 200 basis points - whereas variable interest on our loans are cut only 75 basis points. Banks are claiming that they are in difficult situation as if people who borrowed are living in heaven !
2. NYMEX Crude is down from 140 levels 50 USD. ATF prices were cut 4 times in the last 2 months in India. Still, fuel surcharge is not revised down by indian airline companies !
3. Commodity prices were ruling high until April - May. Commodity prices have crashed since then - example Steel. But, benefit of construction cost not passed on to poor consumers !
4. Car companies used to hike prices when commodity prices were ruling high. Now, they are not even opening their mouth on price cuts now!
5. Petroleum Minister claimed some time back that fuel prices would be cut when NYMEX Crude trades around 65. He is saying now, time is not ripe for cutting the retail prices !
5. Same case applies to textiles, two wheelers, movies etc... Dhoni would be paid Rs.3 crores for brand building where as you will get only 20% discount twice a year.
If you think, you can be better off in USA or Europe... Just read this titbit - GM, Ford, Chrysler directors came Washington in chartered flight and asked US Congress for 25billion Bridge Loan of tax payers money from the US government to tide over the crisis. If they could have taken an economy class flight they might have spent around 600 USD for the same trip but they spent 20,000 USD by using chartered flight.
After all, it is their perk stupid !
So, profit making companies are important at our cost of sacrifice ! Very Well !

Blinded Pilot saved from ground
Do read this remarkable story:
London, Nov 8 (ANI): A lone pilot flying a four-seater Cessna aircraft went blind at 15,000ft when he suffered a stroke, and only made it safely to the ground after he was guided by an RAF wing commander.
Jim O'Neill, 65, a businessman with 18 years experience, was flying from Prestwick airport in Scotland to an airfield near Colchester, Essex on 31 October when the instruments on his aircraft became difficult to read.
O'Neill had at first assumed that it was only the glare of the sunlight as he flew over north England at 15,000ft, but when the dials blurred completely he realised the full horror of his predicament: he was a solo pilot who had suddenly gone blind.
The cause of the blindness was a stroke, which had put pressure on his optical nerve and robbed him of his sight in one eye and left him with very limited sight in the other.
Feeling the aftermath of a mid-flight stroke, O'Neill found himself unable to follow instructions from civilian air traffic controllers attempting to guide him to the nearest airstrip.
When the RAF staff overheard his predicament, they immediately launched a rescue and offered to send a military plane to fly alongside O'Neill and guide him in to land, issuing instructions to him over the radio.
Wing Commander Paul Gerrard, 42, was on a routine training sortie in a Tucano T1 turboprop plane when he received the order to come to the businessman's aid.
It was a very difficult situation as O'Neill, who runs a travel and conference-booking agency, was not able to follow orders to turn left or right or to adjust his height and speed, and it was only after seven attempts that he was able to manoeuvre his aircraft into the correct position.
Gerrard, a senior RAF instructor, flew alongside him at a distance of just 150ft away.
"For me, I was just glad to help a fellow aviator in distress," the Independent quoted W/Cdr Gerrard as saying.
"I was just part of a team. Landing an aircraft literally blind needs someone to be right there to say 'Left a bit, right a bit, stop, down'. On the crucial final approach, even with radar assistance you need to take over visually. That's why having a fellow pilot there was so important," he added.
O'Neill, who landed with two bounces halfway along the runway at the RAF base, and came to a halt just a few yards short of the end of the runway, was immediately treated by RAF paramedics before being taken to a neurological unit.
The blindness O'Neill suffered was caused by a haemorrhage in his brain putting pressure on the nerves at the back of his eyes, and causing sudden blindness.
"It was terrifying. Suddenly I couldn't see. The dials in front of me were a blur. I was helpless at the controls. I should not be alive. I owe my life - and those of dozens of people I could have crashed on - to the RAF," he said.
Civilian air traffic controllers revealed that O'Neill O'Neill repeatedly apologised as he battled to reach safety, growing increasingly anxious.
"You could hear the apprehension in his voice over the radio and the frustration he was experiencing," Richard Eggleton, a radar operator who helped guide the blinded pilot, said.
The pilot's son, Douglas O'Neill, said his father had faced an almost impossible situation when he became blinded in one eye and had limited vision in the other.
"If you were driving a car it would be bad enough, but at 14,000ft it's a whole different ball game. He thought 'If I don't land the plane I will be dead,' but he showed incredible determination," he said. (ANI)

Titbits on recent chennai events
Titbits on recent chennai events:
1. Law College Violence - I was shocked when I saw the violence clippings in Jaya TV. I realised there was a growing communal tension between SCs and NON SCs as per news reports. There is no excuse for the police for not protecting the students. If outsiders are indulged in this act, the entire college management should be sacked.
The best way out to bring back normalcy would be to shift the college to the outskirts of the city so that admin can easily spot the insiders and outsiders.
2. Economy on the downturn - this is the inference from the general chat with my friends and relatives. Lot of shift change, lay-offs, cut in production have generally increased over past month. Software companies are strongly discouraging work on sat & sun.
3. Real Estate prices are going down for commercial properties. Rentals above 30k for individuals have few takers.
4. Traffic Sense is going down day by day. I had the shock of week end while driving in GN Chetty Road. I was waiting to take U-Turn - One Innova driver came and overtook me in left and tried to cut to make U-turn crossing me ! No space on that road to do that and no sense in driving like that.

Rise and Rise of Godmen
The Rise and Rise of Godmen in our society is amazing. They have become one stop shop for to sort all our issues - only difference - in the beginning it was homely issues - now anything and everything which includes national issues !!!
The Malegon blast probe reveals greater influence of godmen than ever before. On the one side you have godmen like Sai babas who does so much of social projects to society and on the other side you have godmen who are accused of planting bombs !!!
Whatever the case may be, i would say - avoid visiting godmen and give funds !

A R Rahman's best picturised songs
According to me, the following are the best picturised songs of A R Rahman in Hindi and Tamil Movies:
1. Alaipayuthey - Pachai Nirame
Great locales, costume, lovely bonding between Madhavan & Shalini. First rank goes to this song.
2. Minsara kanavu - Vennilave Vinnilave
Kajol ignites the romance in the second part of the song. Lovely picturisation in lines of Singing in the Rain.
3. Dil Se - Chayya Chayya
Moving train, crane shots, tunnel lighting.... imaginative picturisation of this song is just refusing to go away from the mind.
4. Kadhalan - Kadhalikkum pennin kaigal
Cool and casual theme executed perfectly by Prabhu Deva.
5. Thiruda Thiruda - Chandralekha
Aah.... Egmore Museum never look so beautiful. Great Lighting indeed.
6. Kadhal Desam - Mustafa Mustafa
Another casual picturisation by director, friendship demonstrated in a normal way without any exaggeration.
7. Sivaji - Vaaji Vaaji
What a lovely, towering set. Dwarfs add color to Shreya's glamour. I especially liked the thavidu podi imagination.
8. Taal - Aag Lage
Supposed to be a Filmfare picturisation. Nice dancing. Wrapping of Aish in the long cloth was wonderful !
9. Rangeela - Tanha Tanha
Nice inviting dance by Urmila but just short of sexy mode.
10. Lagaan - Orey Chori
I prefer this song to radha song of this movie. Love is in the air was nicely brought out.
11. Roja - Chinna chinna aasai
Nature's back drop with mischievous happenings on the ground. Lovely.
12. Bombay - Uyire Uyire
Rain, Kasarkod fort backdrop was too good for this song. Anchor & Manisha scene was beautifully symbolic.
13. Jodhaa Akbar - Kwaja Kwaja
Heavenly atmosphere, simple imagination, lighting makes this song wonderful to watch.
14. Rang De Basanti - Khalbali
Bonding of friends was energitically brought up in an unusual way.
15. Ratchagan - Kayyil Midhakkum
Computer graphics aided emoticons was bit imaginative.
16. Jeans - Kannodu kanbathellam
Imaginative picturisation of this carnatic tune was damn good. The positioning of this song in the story made people to burst out laughing.
17. Padayappa - Suthi Suthi vantheega
Tastefully decorated art work in the background made this song memorable.
18. Kannathil Muthamittal - Nenjil
Simran version of this song in the beaches makes one wonder about depth of relationship.
19. Boys - Girl Friend
Usage of cartoonic girl was little friendly than human as it is about "looking out". Imaginative lyrics, peppy tune all makes song interesting.
20. Kadhalar Dhinam - Dandiya aatamum aada
Such a huge group of dancers assembled in a floor, neatly co-ordinated dance arrangement.
21. Mudhalvan - Aazhagana Ratchasiye
Too garish i admit but attractive scare crows, colorful dolls make it for it.
