Whattay Fun !! Miiind It :-D
My Blog has experienced drought of posts from. Although I can quietly say I can attribute it to my activities in Twitter or on Facebook , I still feel I will do injustice to events of Today if I do not write a post about it
Chance visit to Satyam , brought me to buy tickets to the Thursday Blind Date show, And what do I get ,
Preview show of the most discussed film of this Season Quick Gun Murugan.
I will not dedicate the rest of the post for the story of the movie . { Shall leave to others to give their valuable comments on the plotline }
QGMG is what I deem a celebration of the Stereotypical Parody. It presents a interesting juxtaposition of Opposites.
An Actor from the state of Andhra Pradesh playing the lead, a Vegetarian Cowboy , a protector of cows , Lola Kutty and of Dabbawala Annnie Quick Gun Murugan { Check out his intro Philosophy of Earth , Sky and the Elements ROFL} from Tamil Nadu
An Actor from the State of Tamil Nadu playing his Nemesis, An unscrupulous villain , a stereotype Rice Plate Reddy { Nasser at his full flow, Hilarious} from Andhra Pradesh.
Overall its set in aaamchi Mumbai { Matunga and Chembur Juntaaa, this is for ya }
Over and above all its been produced by Fox and the Director is from somewhere else.sorry Shashanka could not google your location. { Talk about a Global Mashup } .
You seen me mention South Indianisms and a Bollywood director and you might be like .Here we go again a typical Bollywood impression of South Indianism . { Man Sharukh , you may have gone overboard in Om Shanti Om , but you did deliver the brilliant Idea to the writers of this Film }.
This film is unapologetic in its celebration of mannerisms and the language that makes Tollywood, Kollywood and Mollywood so wonderful.
The actual and proper usage of Tamilz , the unfettered gravity defying stunts over Coconut trees, the absolute misuse of Bullet time and the glorious tributes to the Gun Slinging ability of all thalaivars Rajni and Vijaykant , wonderful portrayal of Mallu Kuttis 
.
<Sample>“If you think you are Lightning , I am 250 Volt Current”</Sample>
A glorious dedication to the fascination of Indians for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Wonderful Cameos by Vinay Pathak, Sandhya Mridul and Ranvir Shorey will have you in splits.
Kudos and my Bows to the Script writers who have made this film a great benchmark for Parody and Imagination.The Intro scenes will have you rolling on the floor { Mind it}.
The underlying film is so abstracted and beautiful that it is what we call in the IT Parlance “Actor Agnostic” { Meci beacoup Karteek }, but i think no other actor could have done more justice . There are enough revenge drama, Maa scenes and tillation to keep the average film goers interest piqued through the entire length of the movie.
All in All , I had humongous amount of fun and one film I absolutely not regret watching in Theatre. For all you cheapskates { Includin me } do not watch anywhere else except theatre.
I am no Rajeev Masand but here’s my Ratings
Plotline : 8.5/10
Direction : 9/10
Art and Costume : 10/10
Script/Screenplay :9.5 /10
Rollicking comedy ingrained in the film : 20/10
in a nut shell, with a healthy dose of good attitude. one u will possibly carry to a Russel Peters Show
WATCH IT . I SAY !!!

A small hole in my heart!
The power of tangential learning will be understood by all who have access to the internet and are intrigued by a topic , to such an extent that it will consume all your mind.
It started with me watching “Waltz with Bashir” a film that rightfully should have won an award at the Oscars.
The lack of subtitles in the print that I had managed to obtain kept me searching for the .srt file {subtitles track}. The captivating script of the movie kept me googling stuff on the 7 Day war, the Lebannon conflict , and about who Bashir was
Movies such as this go a long way in making people bring out the proverbial skeletons hidden inside deep closets.
Its on the long road down the lanes of history that one can see and feel the horror and misery that man has inflicted on man. Its a sad feeling that man as a species is specifically designed to destroy one another. Makes me wonder whether we have been created through Intelligent Design like some Virus as the Mr.Smith so eloquently delivers .As a speculative darwinist I find it hard to believe that a species so capable of greatness , seeks self-destruction as means for sustenance.
Well I think I had enough of learning on a hot sultry chennai afternoon and as with the tradition of this escapist generation I shall gobble down few Groundnut Cookies and some juice.

Will you Vote
Obaminazation of politics has seen the Indian Polity rush to adopt Social Media.
I get this in the most unexpected of Places
Seriously the very notion of using Social media for political reasons is flawed.Why?
- The average user of internet in India does get this concept
- The average user of the internet is very particularly lazy in matters pertaining to Voting
- The Long Tail , though very large, has no interest in shelling out , if incase asked, 50 Rs for any sort of Campaign donation via Twitter
- Internet Penetration is 0.3% in areas/localities where people actually come out to vote.
So unless you get lazy technocratic internet geeks,nerd,phreaks etc hooked to voting, by adopting techniques of some Scandinavian countries. Or involve them in the new Government 2.0 Process. Or Better still actually have a politician who can inspire like OBAMA.
The lazy Internet user in India Aint Never Gonna Vote
So for 09 this is what i would want the from the Indian Polity
- A Youtube Video of Laloo on “Effective Techniques of Milking a Cow”
- Google Map Mashup of locations travelled by Mr.Pranab , with no effect in Foreign Policy
- Aam internet Junta getting Rick Rolled by a Online Video of the PM
The list keeps getting dicier , but I have left out the details.
Live Long and Prosper

Sparrows
I am happy/delighted/joyful to see the return of the Sparrow into cities. Last weekend in Hyderabad and even now in chennai I had wonderful sightings of the bird.
Popular belief goes that the drop in Sparrow occurrencess, once a common bird in India, is due to the death of sparrow chick while in their eggs because of cellphone radiation.
Either that has been proven wrong, giving ammo to the “Mobile Radiation is Minimal” proponents of the society or the sparrows have mutated to be resistent.
Even as now my current assignment is to capture a good picture of them.

A wierd one!!
Well I am no poet or a person with ability of word play as this gentleman,
but I could not help but spew this one out.
imho I believe its logical from the sentences below that I have been infected with “star-trekitis”
“Cubicle !!
The final frontier.
These are the voyages of the cofee-cup enterprise…
Its twenty minute mission to seek out drowsy employees……
To avoid bold new stains!!!
To bring out new realizations and feelings.
To boldy go where no cofee-cup has gone before!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAaaa’”
Okay I accept this is lame… but top this!!

Coming this summer is the new Star Trek Movie with a new take on the very first Star Trek missions. I pretty much have a very high hopes from ol JJ as now he has at his side the very best of CGI and Animation to bring the USS Enterprise to its best glory.
IMHO its not logical :-0 to compare the new version with the juicy characterization of the 70’s.
I think the new movie will continue with the growing trend of movies with a “dark side” to them like Dark Knight,Quantum of Solace . Logically I think this movie will expose the other side of the suave charming Kirk , the cool level headed Spock and the generally grumpy Bones.
The trailer seems good although there are some minor glitches .
1.Young Kirk Seems to have a good control over his driving skills, whereas in the old TV-Series Episode “A piece of the Action” Kirk struggles with a Combustion Engined Vehicle.
2.Wt fish are welders doing on the frame of the USS Enterprise. Did Welding Technology not improve in the age of Warp Drives. This draws parallels to the Star Wars Saga, where there are robotic replacements for Darth Vader’s life support, the droids and robots are wobbly and generally without clear Vocal abilities.
Well JJ you’d better get it right, or else I will send you where no man can dare to go.

Return of the 419 Scam
The metrics for the amount of money lost in Spam is difficult to analyze but it sure is a “supposed” burden for the individual in the center of the Philanthropic venture.
I have been approached by Nigerian princes,offered a free Mobile phone,pleaded by distressed fathers,goaded by corporate marketing “Opportunities” of a Software Giant in Redmond.
But today’s mail by far surpassed all imaginations.
I must Apologise for the image, my template screwed it up 
It boggle mind to estimate the remote probability of me being selected amongst a draw of billion email addresses.
Atleast he did not ask for a Bank account details

Youtube
Think the growing popularity of Youtube is taking a toll on its CDN.Youtube has filled the void left by the absence of Cable TV in my house, but some times the video do not stream as perfectly as you would expect.
Check this error out
Meanwhile I am on a desperate fact finding mission to determine the best Interactive TV network amongst the following contenders, hope enough googling and social media tapping will sort issues out.
- Tata Sky- Popular Incumbent, huge popularity, Tivo Style feature set in future.Mafiasco style operation
- Big Tv- From the house of Reliance, Reliability is an issue, Microsoft Business strategy “Take u in cheap, grapple your b@!!s”
- Dish TV- My ” Thoda Aur Wish” is to wish king Khan stops appearing inthese ads. Less Popular, Less visible, good pricing strategy
- SUN Direct- From the Stables of the Rising Sun party, popular local network, in direct contention with SCV. More for the TN masses.
Well please help me choose one

Optimum Chaos
A long gap brings a lot of things into focus. One month gap including a change of address and a hand fracture is enough for me to start worrying about the information overload and slipping blog rank {not that it had any}
Well have to start small as my single hand typing does not allow me first to function in the IT world and two does not allow me to type and use my computer correctly
The other day I had an idea that seemed far fetched and incomprehensible for my non mathematically tuned brain I have a brain that is fairly good at patterns and discerning spatial mathematics and geometry but something in algebra is beyond me watching two different events triggered a thought Under the right set of conditions and within limited range of operations Optimum Chaos is essential for better Operation and Productivity
Event one there is a traffic signal enroute to my office and previously it was a tri junction with no apparent signaling system or a traffic monitoring cop previously traffic used to move with individual drivers in individual lanes figuring out when to stop or when to cross the junction point There was no congestion as each driver would selfishly figure out the best possible way to avoid traffic accidents and congestion Now the junction has a traffic signal with a cop monitoring the flow and the congestion has increased
Event two is Dosa vending process in my cafeteria During lunch time the guy who collects the coupons and places the order to the chef does it randomly and in a chaotic manner The variables in his head are the processing of the coupons and shouting of the orders to the chef The delivery not in the order of receipt of the coupons ensured that the average process time was 5-10 min In the evening the receipt
of the coupons is very orderly with all applicants standing in a line and the guy who collects the order has but to stand at his place and simply accept the coupons The order time now is 10-20 min
The above two events though not connected kept me thinking whether a certain amount of chaos dependent on a certain inherent human traits was good for a process or a system
For this I required the assistance of the denizens of the blogosphere to point me out in the correct direction to reach a person article or body that can help me figure out the validity of my claim
PS:The writing style of this article is inspired by a brilliant Novel called Blindness by Jose Saramago A Must read
