Trashing the lovely birds

I am a fan of Dangerous Dave game. We used to play this game in our collage computer lab. On a NovellNetware-DOS mode this game is really one of the coolest of its kind. The sound/audio - not the background music, the colors - not 16+ bits depth, the animation – not with great video adapters and the levels etc., are all pleasing and the game is very addictive. Of course, the thrill of copying it back in our login after it was deleted by our professors and playing it without getting caught (probably they let us play) was real fun. Last year, when I was cleaning up the old CDs and I found this game in one of the CDs. I copied in my laptop with windows XP and it didn't work. I just deleted game.

Angry Birds is the first game I played on the iPhone. Few of my friends here used to appreciate its UI design. We talked about the algorithms involved in the game. We wondered how well the memory management is done as we never found it hanging. I guess few even bought the game. I liked the Angrybirds Seasons too. Angry Birds Space is fine. But I didn't spend much time playing this version and I still to experience the Angry Birds Star Wars. Of course, it is been more than six months since I played this game. That is why I wanted to trash it from iPhone, after all I can get it whenever I wanted it. It is not that I don't like this game or it has nothing to make the playing addictive, it is just that I got some of the games like Unblock Me, Vegetable Rescue and Power Arrow which are good enough for the time I get.

Not all my friends have Facebook accounts, not all my old friends have email accounts, not all my schoolmates are in IT - when I think of people with whom I shared a good relationship, there are lots of faces but I seem to have no way to communicate with many of them now. I seem to have missed few even when I moved from Orkut to Facebook. No, I didn't do any "trashing" nor anything got "trashed" but it doesn't exist at this very moment. There were times I believed that I wouldn't find people move closer than few others I met. But even before I realise many have moved more deeper. Time, proximity, family, society, technology,... thousands of them keep things separated, keeps us faraway, too far that I am afraid I may not even meet them again in my life, though the memory of them is still very much green. He still have lots of friends, but I don't see any of my dad's friends I met when I was in school.

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu...

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

December Rain - 4

I can query a bit, question a little more, but I don't go any further. I stay with no question at a point where I know I can attempt an inch deeper but I stop there to make myself comfortable and letting all that needs to be questioned and answered be God. Why do people get old, struggle to live and yet no courage to die? Even the divine Soul trembled and cried on the cross in spite of knowing that He would get the eternal of it. Such is the greatness of addiction to this life, the feel of everyday's incompleteness and the longing for the tomorrow. Of course, the breathing of an old man may take a bunch of viruses from the air and save few kids from getting infected. I mean, there is a reason for everything.  For me, the "cigarette smoking causes cancer" shown before the movie is one of the most annoying advertisements - it is ugly. If anything needs to be fixed properly, it has be to dealt at the root. How about stop making cigarettes and have a law to give dea...
