"Arivillatha oru loosu ponnunu nenichiya enna? Enna insult pannatha. You are insulting my intelligence. I know what I am capable of". This Nithya is what I believe, probably what you and I believe, is the typical girl of this era - very powerful, excessively energetic to go through so many hardships yet fragile, can emotionally be broken into pieces in no time. It is a mighty portrayal of that character. She is amazingly cute and a splendid performance . But the movie failed miserably. It shouldn't have missed the ingredients of a good movie - sadly it missed. It is not about the story. I think there are many movies that could have failed but somehow got the things right and succeeded. Do you remember this visually pleasing movie?  It is a normal story. Isn't? Many can play Karthick and many can play Jessie. But can someone do the miracles of A.R.Rahman? An attempt could easily take this movie unwatchable. Vinod sees Aisha and wishes her to be his wife, oh y...

Book: Mother Teresa Author: Sam Wellman Publications: Om Books I felt shame after reading the biography of Mother Teresa because all I know is the name Mother Teresa. I am glad to have read this book. This books talks about Mother Terasa's life and it is really inspiring. I believe this book is neither too much nor too less and so good one to read and know about Mother Teresa. Dranafile Bojaxhiu, her mother is the person who instilled the qualities of Mother Teresa from the very early stage. In fact, if we look deeper, without Dranafile we wouldn't have got Mother Teresa. In fact, the real inspiration for me is Dranafile.   Kovil Pillai P.

Though it looks very much similar to the previous years, it is still not the same. My wish list for 2013 :) Very much addicted to the the lovely voice in Um Paadham Panithen , words of God Will Make a Way , music and lyrics of Oru Naalil Vazhkai and the messages of Joel Osteen will continue to listen them, repeatedly.  Hoping to watch lots of videos of Marissa Mayer. Like one of my friends Madhavi, she is very energetic, enthusiastic, quick and inspiring.  It is between 72 - 75 kgs for the past five years and it is fine for me. Though I am less confident about it, hoping to remain in that range.  I should write at least one blog in every month.  I read few good books in 2012 and I should read at least 12 books in 2013 and write a summary of it. Here is the list of books I have (yet to read almost all of them) Unlike last year, after listening to my colleague Muthukumaran , decided to attend the weddings (reception - only if attending the wedding is not pos...

It is been few year since I started buying books. Here is the list of books I have. Yes, I love reading books. Kovil Pillai P.

Travelling on the bus footboard is courageous, energetic, adventures, fun filled and not everyone can do but the costliest price for it is life. After the recent incident (four students travelling on the overcrowded bus were killed in an accident on early this month), the court had advised that the student travelling on the footboard caught more than once can be expelled from the institution and the government arranged lots of MTC staff members to monitor and regulate this. I am surprised why the court had not strengthened the order like "all the buses should have a door and it should be closed?". Punish the authorities instead of the students. It is OK, there is no single solution that can be agreed and applied everywhere. It is very common for the buses to stop about 100 meters away from the bus stop making people to run behind the bus in most of the stops. One of the saddest parts of it is the old people waiting for the bus. Many of them are not really in a position to ...

Though Mac and iPhone/iPad has lots of lovely things, they still frustrates when some of the common action I do that are not allowed. I don't find an option to group installed Apps. I have to search for already installed apps if I have to remove few of them.  When I have an update for an App, I am unable to remove the App without updating  I couldn't read the name of the book, if it is a lengthy name. If I could list them one per line then I could read but I don't have an option to change the view.   Sync Movies: I just wanted an option to sync selected movies. The options like 1 most recent, 3 more recent are useless for my style.  I added a new contact in my address book and it didn't sync with the iPhone. I found Mac, iCloud and ldap accounts are configured for contacts. I removed iCloud and ldap then the sync was proper. Of course, it should be my misunderstanding of the working of it.

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 th...
