Color changing Saree

Well not too sure if there is any sari of this kind out in the market .
Ok why the post ?
Has anyone observed during some songs played in SUN TV and affliated channels that the color of the sari or dress of the Heroine( rarely Hero) keeps changing frequently.I initially thought that this was a feature in some specific songs.Later noticed that one particular song where the color changes in SUN TV and not so in another channel.Then read/ heard somewhere that SUN TV has this software (not sure of any patent) that does this color changing trick.If someone had observed this do comment..

Thala - Pacino.. Just the looks ;)



Thala Ajith sharing screen space with the great Al Pacino .Well not really but thanks to photoshop he does ;-). Picked this picture from a forum which compares the new looks of Ajit is his next movie Aegan to that of Al Pacino in the movie Serpico.Looks a lot similar or do u call this a rip off . ahem..

Check this out. The director of Aegan Raju Sundaram (choreographer) says ---"“His character in the film is of a violent police officer capable of completing the task entrusted to him and required abeard for the tough look” .

And Look what IMDB says about Serpico ---
Tagline:
Many of his fellow officers considered him the most dangerous man alive - An honest cop.
Plot Outline:
The true story about an honest New York cop who blew the whistle on rampant corruption in the force only to have his comrades turn against him.

Do i smell something fishy here .You guessed it right. Not just the looks but even the story might be ripped off .. well ..inspired ... and some say thats plagiarism...

Foobar


Music Lovers might already know about Foobar which is a highly configurable music player software which has its own group of loyal users.
A first look at the software may not attract many users but if u spend sometime with it you are sure to fall in love with it. One can even write your own plugins to enhance it with functionalities that they love and I believe most of the plugins were born outta such efforts.
Apart from the default UI there are options like columns,Panel and the latest Facets based UI.With these one can configure the UI that suits best.The screenshot below is Facets based one which i picked from a forum.I thought this was better than the one i configured.One thing this lacks is a plugin for shoutcast channel listing which winamp does.The work around is to have ur shoutcast playlist which i do.
Delivers good sound,nice equalizer,works with portable devices and configurable to the core.It for sure packs a punch. Check it out..

check it out

Trying out new softwares is a nice thing cos you never know that some software of which you had no idea can turn about to be a really useful and user friendly tool .Likewise I found couple of nice ones recently .Both are media players.
KMplayer is a pretty kewl mediaplayer that plays any media file on earth and manages it with all its inbuilt codecs.It has a wide array of configuring options to tweak audio and video.The sound quality i thought was very good and the player doesnt eat lotta memory.I landed on this as i was searching for software to play matroska(.mkv) files which my gomplayer didnt play properly.It also has a "winamp" mode for playing audio files and supports all winamp plugins.I would say its a better video player than an audio player but overall its a nice package.Its from Korea . well I am fine as long it works for me.


Winamp gets bloated as it upgrades to newer versions and along comes ads and in fact my antivirus told me that winamp is trying to send information to the internet.Fine let me look for another peppy player for my audio player needs and my quest ended with Aimp2.Its small,fast,doesnt hog my memory and gives me very good sound output and more its looks nice with a playlist cum medialibrary combo.And i started using it as my primary audioplayer.I thought not having a shoutcast directory browser was a problem .But as a one time effort stored the shoutcast urls as bookmarks in here and i can listen to my favorite shoutcast stations in aimp2.I dont think it supports portable devices as such for which i may need to resort to itunes or winamp.But as a audio player aimp2 rocks and fits my bill.And this is Russian player . :-)

Thayir Sadham

It would not be an exaggeration if i say thayir sadham is elixir.in fact its a cure in more than one way.its an integral part of the diet of south indians and for most a meal isn't complete without it.To me its great in any form -simple thayir sadham,more sadham,with hot rice ,pazhaya sadham,yoghurt sadham ,baghalabath and with an array of thottukais(side dish).It goes great with narthangai,maavadu,Aavakkai,any pickle for that matter,kozhambu,sambar,salt(ah yes a pinch that is),mango fruit and all the podis and curries.Theres nothing like eating thayir sadham and potato curry on a hot summer day watching a cricket match..Wanted to post this as I was eating my more sadham..:-)

what is google?

Google,googled,googling....
I googled for the software and got it..
check with google..
well these are lines that are spoken pretty often these days.The influence,impact that google has created in our lives or atleast quite a number of us is very obvious in such statements.We just use them daily. google as a noun ,google as a verb and in some cases like ' rahul that google guy ' where a friend Rahul works in google , as an adjective.We need not be surprised if there were lines like what a google !!(used instead of find)..
Oh my google !!(instead of goodness-- din want to put god in here :) )..
hmm happy googling !!

"""BREAKING NEWS"""": Commotion in Sydney

In Sydney, Australia at around 3 PM in the afternoon there was sudden commotion in the parking lot and the leading alleys around the Sydney Cricket ground.Screams of Help by people and armed cops moving around were spotted.Oh well what happened .hmm from nowhere there was a group of monkeys around 23 in number were found around the Cricket Australia office at the SCG and were found to be making noises and shouting in unison.Sources Confirm that When closely examined by the animal watchers from the National Geographic society it was understood that the monkeys were complaining about racial err... Species abuse meted out against them by comparing them with a cricketer from the Australian team who probably belonged to a different species altogether.

New year resolutions

These words come every year .yes they are new year resolutions ;).
They range from getting 8 CGPA,cracking GMAT to even something like "1024 X 768" or 8.1 Megapixel" :).
Sometimes people try hard to find newer new year resolutions and more often than not end up not sticking to them.I was reading this nice article about the important new year resolutions that everyone needa follow (they are really life resolutions) and thought should share it .

Taare Zameen par....

Aamir Khan's maiden directorial venture is definitely worth a watch.
It's a simple narration about a kid who is special and how he needs some care to perform and do normal things and bring out his talent.The kid has acted really well and the background score by SEL is once again good.
Go watch it.
