19 years in Tiruppur, 4 years in Trichy, a year in Nashik, 8 years in Chennai, I'am still a software guy

It's been 8 years, since I came to Chennai. I suddenly remembered this now that, it was  in the month of April, I came to Chennai 8 years back. I don exactly remember the date, I could remember the month because I was making everyone April fool even after the 1st of April, in fact the whole month. It was that small house on the fourth floor in Mylapore. Sidin had taken the house, I came to Chennai thinking, I will stay for couple of days and move to Mumbai. I had just left my job at ACS, like a brave man, following Sidin, to do, what  I wanted to do.

What do I wanted to do ? I was not sure. But I was very sure about, what I din want to do. This is when Prem use to visit Chennai for his business meets. By the by I never wanted to be software engineer that was leading the list, It's not because its bad, but I couldn't solve SAKUNTALA DEVI'S PUZZLE BOOK in the college or couldn't digest the Java codes(i realized it when I tried doing a project at Octa with Shakarasubbu in Java). I, some were had this thing that, sitting in front of computer and working on a software is a insane thing to do.


Four cities, three schools, two colleges, 9 jobs, I still use software. For the past one week, I was in front of my Laptop, continuously for  min 10 to 15 hours, working, using softwares, to write, to read, to design, to edit and to browse. I am exactly doing, what I never wanted to do, but I realize till today, because I have been happy doing this.


Sorry software guys, my friends, me and some of my friends use to abuse you guys badly in college, today I realize how wrong I was. Thanks to all those who spent their lives developing such beautiful things called Photoshop, Avid, MS Office, DOS,Windows, Final Draft, Combustion, FCP, Smoke, chrome, FB, Orkut, Gmail, Android and the list goes on and on. I just mentioned few that I have used and few that helped me. 
Thank you guys. Thanks a lot.

It was in the third or final year i don, but i remember it was Lapis hostel TV room. The northi and some NRI gang was watching star movies. I can remember only Saiz, pana mudhala balls, ma.pu.thi and sankar subbu, but there were few more with us. We, Tamil gang went in and protested to change it to SUN TV because some vijayakanth movie was going on(by the by we were hardcore fans of vijayakanth in those days, and even today) As usual we won the fight and they changed the channel, but the northi gang was sitting there very curiously to see, what made us go mad to fight with them.
Thats wen saiz came close to me and whispered, 'dawood, please don tell them that this fat dark guy is the hero of the film, if they ask u, just tell that hero has not yet be shown. Because if these guys come to know that we faught with them to see a movie, in which this fat old dark guy is the hero, iam sure they will kill us'. Our time was so bad that, one of the guys asked about, 'who da hero is'. I told them, he is yet to come, this dark guy in the film is a comedian. Moral of the story: even if you have a small dark mole with a diameter of 22 micron, you don stand a chance to be the hero in a hindi film, that's the only reason i could find, why thlaivar vijayakanth not entering into hindi cinema. By the by we got beaten up the next day, but only kasam was sacrifised.

South Languages and Tamil.

Its amazing how our languages are connected with each other, my theory.

தமிழ் + மெல்லினம் = மலையாளம் 

தமிழ் +  இடையினம் = கன்னட 

தமிழ் + வல்லினம் = தெலுகு 

For people who doesn't know to read Tamil, by the by you should know Tamil to understand this.

Tamil + Mellinam = malayalam

Tamil + Edaienam = Kannada

Tamil + Vallinam = Telugu

I don know, why we should be proud ?, IPL teams

It's not because i'am a non cricket for, its because the kind of fights and bets i see on IPL i have this doubts. How many players are from Tamil Nadu in Chennai Super Kings, or how many players are from Maharashtra in Mumbai Indians. Forget about players from the same state, how many of them are even from India. Are'nt we fooling around our self convincing that its a sport and its all about sport. Is it really about sport, i find more brands and names trying to win over in the market than the sport. Its a complete surrogate advertisement of booze, airline and other stuff. All i can see, IPL as one lengthy TV commercial for hours of brands that have money.

Take in case of Vijay malya, he is smart that way, he named a airlines after a beer, a IPL team after a Whisky. Thank god he din become a CM otherwise, Karnataka would have been, UB Karnataka and Bangluru would have been Mc Dowell's Bangaluru.

should politicians have retirement age ?

That was a question posted by one of my dear friend on facebook and some people inclusind me answered to it.
Gandhi, Periyar, Anna, Anna hazare and Kamarajar and many more old guys fought and done things for us. What ever today we are is because of those old guys. Iam very proud of them. Whether its politics or any other area age does not matter, instead we should see whether they are stupid are not and it so simple to measure the stupidity of a person, because the young guys are good at it.
Next big question is whether education is necessary to be a politician or a leader, by asking such stupid question, she/he is making a fool by himself. The answer is why don you fucking get inside politics. You don get inside because your educated and you want a secure life, then why the fuck are you asking this. Get inside anything and ask this question.
After this machine called Computer was invented, the only guys who got spoiled out of it is our Indians. Get a safe job at some software company, open a fb account and just write anything about anything.
We have forgotten that Indian population is mostly based on agriculture than anything else, but we have forgotten that. Today what ever issue discussed is all about the urban educated safe livers. We have forgotten people who live in non-Metros and non-city or uneducated. It was capitalism VS daily waged labor. But now its educated urbans VS poor villagers. Its not between corrupt and uncorrupted guys.

Rajinikanth's innocence and Media's ignorance

Rajinikanth proves again that he listens, speaks and does things from heart. I'am not talking about, whom he voted for, but how he never bothered about the presence of media while he was voting. This is the innocence that makes people like Super star Rajinikanth.
On the other side, the people who were in-charge of the Stella Maris and Media where so ridiculously stupid and ignorant (about law) allowed to capture the footage of, to whom he voted and telecast-ed. Its not just about getting into someones personal things, its also a punishable criminal offence.

Some channels which also have newspapers broad-casted the event and then written about it in their papers shamelessly the next day saying, it's an offence.
Media has more responsibility than any other estate, because it reaches people every day. Lets be at least responsible.

The max right price for a mobile.

Some new phones are going to jump into the market this quarter like Motorola Atrix and HTC sensation S, Sony experia and arc.
I always wonder whats the right price for a mobile, when ever i buy one, but i could never judge. But recently since the high end phone had come, i had been carrying out a kind of market research on what's the max someone in India would pay for a phone. The answer is currently its 30,000 Indian rupees. Take iPhone 4 or 3GS it din do well in India, because of wrong pricing. I had spent the past few months talking to people who buy almost a phone in two to three months and all i could get was a max of 30k.

If its below 25k you will have real good no of people buying. And if its below 20, then thats what is happening to Defy, and if its less than 10k, then you will know the reason why Corby is selling hot cakes, even today.

30k max, mobile companies should realise.

some Android apps, hands on review

1.The first thing i downloaded on my Motorola Defy is Angry birds, then Angry birds seasons, in two days i cleared all the levels. Its real addictive game. Then came Rio, i loved it. These birds are real crazy guys. I loved the last level in Rio, where there is this blue colour bird which flies fast and straight when pressed. Angry birds is a must have one on any android device.

Facebook and Twitter are the usual apps which are there so I don want to talk about it.

I tried some 50 to 60 apps but i was completely disappointed, most of them are real useless things which just eat ur memory and CPU speed.

Some of them which impressed me and i still have them on my phone are.

1. Adobe Reader
2. Advance Task Killer (a must have one, this will save ur data consumed and CPU speed)
3. Dolphin browser and book mark (its faster than the browser which is already there on android)
4. AppsBrain (a must have, these will help u update ur apps and keep u posted on some real cool apps from market, this where i got almost all my apps)
5. Color note (this is one app which i use almost every day, taking notes and stuff)
6. File Expert (this will help you transfer files from comp to phone, and phone to comp using Wifi)
7. History eraser ( must have, this will help you erase all the read sms, calls and browsing history in one go, it saves a hell lot of time, doing things in one go)
8. My Tapu (its a amazing app which is something similar to Flipboard for iPhone, you get all the updates on one app from facbook, twitter and other site feeds and news, i love it)
9. Photoshop Express ( its a lighter and a amazingly simpler version of photoshop from Adobe, its reall cool and easy to edit image files, real helpful)
10. Google family apps like Gtalk, gmail, Google Maps, navigation, latitude and Places is something which is been very useful, i use these max than any other apps.
11. Quickoffice is one such app which helped me a lot reading all the documents, thanks to them.
12. xPiano, Urban Dictonary, Unblock Me Free, The Periodic Table, Traffic Lite, Hj lite, IMDB, Cubes Free, Countries of the World are few apps i downloaded, but i don use them much.
13. Save my Attach is one very useful stuff which will help you save attached documents from your mail to SD so that you can use them later.
14. NDTV and TOI are the only two news apps i have and this has helped me skip TV and news paper .
15. NewsHunt will be one cool app for news, it has all the indian news papers including all the regional ones, i have to download it today, i had used it on my LG Cookie pep earlier.
