Vel Vadivel

Vadivelu has carved a special spot for himself in the Tamil movie industry with his comedies.Heres one of his latest which i like..

Kumble .. spinner err.. seamer.. fastish spinner...

Well today he literally bowled seam up. If not for bad light and slightly late declaration india wud have won the last match against pakistan..

kinda liking this ...

title song of a vijay tv serial called Kadhalikka Neramillai.
Nicely sung by someone. i dont know the name of the singer..

people are dumb.. at times..

The title should have read - I am dumb at times .well this happened today , as I crib everyday for a few weeks now wondering why i did'nt get the new version of gmail. I guess that I was one of the early users of gmail since sometime in 2004 and used to get all the latest features as and when gmail was updated.But gmail 2.0 if we can say so was launched in october this year and so far my gmail wasnt upgraded.And more some of the proxy email ids that i had created got the upgrades.That was what pissing me off.I did google a bit about this but it din really help.Today I noticed in some google group it was mentioned that if the language was set to English US in the settings panel then u will get the latest version of gmail .To my surprise my language was set as English UK which i did not realise and never thought could be a matter . Anyway it made me realised that anyone can be dumb anytime .. no i did not say a word about blondes.;).

streaming music

Listening to online streaming music is growing number and there are several new websites catering to the various tastes of the music lovers.I was once a fan of the music genmome project Pandora .Recently stumbled upon one such new site called Songza.The interface is neat and was surprised that search returned a latest Tamil song as well.Then saw that this search engine also searches youtube videos for songs.but i am too sure if songza plays random songs based on the listeners choice .go try it.
Another site am hooked on off late for Indian music is musicplug.in
Its good too.

Jayasurya....

No cricket posts for sometime now. But its time to say good bye to one of the greatest and effective players of our time Sri Lanka's Sanath Jayasuriya.
He is one of my favorite cricketers and no doubt has a huge fan following as hes an entertainer.
From being an ordinary left arm spinner and a lower order batsman he became a terror to new ball bowlers , an entertainer, six hitter,wicket taking spinner in both forms of cricket.1996 wills world cup was the occasion he chose to show the world what he can do and was instrumental in Sri Lanka's world cup success.
one of the pillars of sri lankan cricket in the last decade led Sri lanka to many of their one day successes.He was effective in the tests scoring a personal best of 340 against a hapless indian attack in colombo.fastest 50 in one dayers and 2020 and the max runs in a over in ODIS are few of his long list of records.
The 2nd test between Sri Lanka and England was the last test match of the master blaster from matara.Sri lankan cricket and the cricket fans world over will miss his game but his exploits on the field will sure be remembered.

Adiyey Kolludheyy....

Check out this sneak peak of Surya's next movie 'Vaaranam Aayiram'.You can see him dancing hip hop .The video reads flexito probably its some flexi dance form.He looks good and song is good to.better inspiration from Blue for Harris jayaraj this time i guess..;)
To me it sounds like a mix of uyirin uyire and velli nilave

:-)

thats a rip off

Hollywood movies have always been a happy hunting ground for many indian Film directors and script writers. And Guess who was at it now.Its non other than priya who is the director of this new tamil movie called Kannamoochi Enada.And which movie was it copied from .. its Guess who.
I saw Kannamoochi Enada first and today as I was watching Guess who, I was like I just saw this movie recently ..The Entire script is copied and given a Indian flavor.In the former a white guy visits his black gal friends family and in Tamil its replaced with local castes.Even the number of missed calls that the hero makes to the heroine is copied.
I was so impressed with this director as I liked her First movie Kanda Naal Mudhal very much and not so now after watching her second movie which wasnt all that great and more so after I see this plagiarism.

update: as i was telling friends about this I realised that even the title was plagiarised ... Guess who -- kannamoochi Enada
adadaaa.......

Google Homepage for a movie

Oh yea it is . check this site Its for the comedy movie 'Be kind Rewind' in which the owners of a video store shoot famous movies themselves to plug in for the damaged video tapes in their store.This as u see should be full of sarcasm taking a dig at some hit movies.
The webpage resembles google search page and the graphics in the site is nice. chk it out.

Amitabh-- Rajni---Sharukh---Ajith

wats the link .thats a dolly.
Don-Billa-Don 2006-Billa 2007.
Ajits next movie Billa is hyped up now as its release date is closing down.
Ajit with his style,grace and histrionics shud be doing a good job in a supposedly 'slick' version of Billa.But for some reason i did not really like the soundtrack of the movie which i thought was average.lets wait for the movie...

Aggregation

Getting the news what you want, telling people what u know,rss,xml,atom,web 2.0---you are social networking .
Orkut ,myspace,facebook etc are more into people networking .Another flavor of social networking is the community news aggregation sites like digg where one can find people posting news,views and what not. There are quite a few 'digg' like sites which have content with indian flavor .some of the them are
Newzly,NewsCola ,ForumsOfIndia ,IndianPad ,IndiaMarks ,PutVote , IndianBytes ,Humsurfer

Some of these are good but i kinda found lotta masala news in most of em..

Chennai 600028 , one of the better movies in recent times that was well received.Simple day to day incidents with cricket as theme was put together as a movie and it was nice.Humour in the movie was too good .check out this scene where the heroes in the movie lose a game of cricket to a bunch of skool kids..

Online Textbooks in TN -way to go

As i was bloghopping I landed here which led me here.

This is a very welcome and interesting initiative from the Tamilnadu education board to have the soft copy of all the textbooks for the state syllabus online.Questions may be raised about internet access ,net savviness etc .. thats all there .But this move is definitely to be appreciated.

Nice remix

Words on the field

Everyone knows that Sachin blew the wind out of the aussies especially Shane warne during his peak over the last decade or so. And the aussie sledging literally bombed with Sachin and Warnie admits that.

"We tried to go after Sachin in the early '90s and he's reeled off a hundred just about every game he played, so we thought OK, let's have a beer with him and say, 'you're a great bloke, Sachin', and don't say anything to him on the field," Warne said.

Warne was commenting about the ongoing word wars between the Men in blue and Aussies and hes looking forward to our new character - Sreesanth..oh yeah we too are ...:)
