New Year Resolution

These are not my new year resolutions. I am just compiling them now (either already started or will start them soon). 2012: "Thank you, God" is the everyday prayer. I started reading "மின்மினிகளால் ஒரு கடிதம்" but completed only "ஏழு தலைமுறைகள்" in year 2011. I really wanted to read more books and at least 6 is the target. I shouldn't buy any non-Tamil books this year. I am planning to start avoid attending weddings and birthday functions. There are lots of sermons available on the net. I'll listen to at least few of them or anything spiritual(either for or against), once in two weeks. Hoping to continue the digital diary. At least one email to you this year, of course, apart from the one you read now. One blog per month, no promise though! Reduce non-veg, coffee. No TV. It is been few years since I wanted to draw cartoon like pictures. It is a high priority one this year Though it frustrates at times, I will try to check Facebook

When you were only 5 years old, I said I love you You asked me: "What is it?" When you were 15 years old, I said I love you You blushed. you look down and smile. When you were 20 years old, I said I love you You put your head on my shoulder and hold my hand. afraid that I might dissapear. When you were 25 years old, I said I love you You prepare breakfast and serve it in front of me, and kiss my forhead and said : "you better be quick, It’s gonna be late."

10 Years of Yahoo! Mail

http://in.features.mail.yahoo.com/whatsinside http://in.features.mail.yahoo.com/howitworks After using kovilpillai@usa.net for sometime, I created my Yahoo!Mail email Id. I think I had hotmail account also but I was comfortable with Yahoo! Mail. And then gMail came with some cool features, especially the storage. I still kept my Yahoo!Mail as a primary email id. And slowly(!) gMail overtook other email service providers and become very famous. It has been just few years since I started using gMail, merely because of the free pop service. I tried rediff and indiatimes too. Never felt great about them. Few days back, I got an email from Yahoo!Mail thanking me for using Yahoo!Mail for more than 10 years. That was a "wow" moment for me, not because I got an email from Yahoo! but I have been using email for more than a decade. I tried Yahoo!Mail in iPhone and the desktop version. It is lot more matured to compete against gMail. Though gMail got lots of features, I still prefer Yah

Grandfather's Letter

Got it as a email forward Grandfather's Letter by Steve Brunkhorst One day, a young man was cleaning out his late grandfather's belongings when he came across a bright red envelope. Written on the front were the words, "To my grandson." Recognizing his grandfather's handwriting, the boy opened the envelope. A letter inside read: Dear Ronny, Years ago you came to me for help. You said, "Grandpa, how is it that you've accomplished so much in your life? You're still full of energy, and I'm already tired of struggling. How can I get that same enthusiasm that you've got?" I didn't know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are numbered, I figure that I owe you an answer. So here is what I believe. I think a lot of it has to do with how a person looks at things. I call it 'keeping your eyes wide open.' First, realize that life is filled with surprises, but many are good ones. If you don't keep watching for them, you'l

The fun time, movies list

Just to maintain a list of movies that I hear about, in this year 2011. Let me know if you have "must watch" unusual movies. I'll try to watch.

12 Angry Men

We were talking about good movies and one of my colleagues suggested me to watch 12 Angry Men. This movie was released in 1957. Yes, 1957. 50+ years movie and someone, at age 25, is suggesting it. I watched it and felt it is good. The jury has to give verdict whether the slum boy had murdered his father or not. The 12 men argue over the points, in a small room and THAT is this movie. I thought it would be boring. It would be very much predictable. Well, I was able to predict but the movie is very interesting. The black and white movie is one of the good movies I have seen. 12 Angry Men explores many techniques of consensus-building, and the difficulties encountered in the process, among a group of men whose range of personalities adds intensity and conflict. Apart from two of the jurors swapping names while leaving the courthouse, no names are used in the film: the defendant is referred to as "the boy" and the witnesses as the "old man" and "the lady across t

Time to read books

I have been visiting Chennai bookfair since 2001 (It was at Quaid-E-Millath Government College for Women). I started this with my UG classmates and somehow I manage to go there every year. It is been two visits per year since 2008. And this year, I had two wonderful days spent at St George's Anglo-Indian School. I bought lots of books (My wife didn't scold me!), perhaps I don't need to buy any books for one more year. I'll be sharing these books with friends once I finish reading them. My Surprise : I didn't buy any Osho or J Krishnamurthi books. Visited the Muslim book stall, for the first time. The amount spent. The Famous Five book, I wanted to buy it whenever I saw it, didn't buy after seeing this in almost every shops. None of my friends told me about this book. Disappointment : I couldn't buy something special for my four year old niece. Tired of looking for "Fooled by Randomness" and "Freakonomics" As usual, no good stalls for Chr

Jenny will go

Goal setting is one of the toughest things as it involves the creation of harmony between the heart and mind - the one sees the beauty in the absence of reasoning and the other exhibits the reasons and gets delighted. The stronger the heart's desire, the harder the obstacles the mind sees. Which one wins is what determines your achievement. You dream of a palace and bring all the resources that can make it real – heart will drive the mind to make things real. You can also dream of it with the resources you have – mind will check the facts and stats and will give the heart a desire. Of course, either way you can build the palace, either way you can personally satisfied. But there is a clear difference, the choice is yours, including seeing the difference. Karl Marx, the communist revolutionary, had the goal set. What resulted was more than what he envisaged. The real goals are often that sort. The heart sees the unknown picture. Y
