Friday, February 01, 2008 Change in Tamil New Year from April 14 to Jan 15 I vehemently protest this Bill by Dr. Kalaingar Mu.Karunanidhi. Stupid thing, Foolish Policy. This "Chithirai Vishu" is celebrated all across India: Kerala : "Vishu" Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh as "Ugadi" Maharashtra it is known as "Gudipadava Baisakhi (Punjab), Poila Baishakh (Bengal), Bohaag Bihu (Assam) Singlaese as Buddhika http://buddika.wordpress.com/ [at least Singalese & Tamils are UNITED in this, Karuna wants to cut this also] http://www.ambimama.com/ says thus:- The Tamil calendar is based on the Hindu solar calendar also used in Assam, Bengal, Kerala, Nepal, Manipur, Orissa and the Punjab. It in turn influenced the calendars of Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka and Thailand where the traditional New Year falls around April 14 as well. The Hindu lunar calendar is conversely used in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra where the traditional year begins on th...

Sunday, February 10, 2008 Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is Dead Founder of TM [Transcendental Meditation] from Jabalpur, M.P is no more from Feb 5, 2008. He died in his Norway HQs. He told his patrons "My job is over, for which I have come, I am retiring" on January 12, his 91st birthday. He could not exactly tell his day of death. In Tamilnadu, even normal mortals with true devotion to God have known to have told their heirs of their day of demise. It is a divine gift. It is also recorded in History that some simple Tamil souls have dug up their own cemetery and told everyone of their date of demise and went on the same day. So I think this Yogi may not be as gifted as other devout simple souls of India. He gave us disciples like Deepak Chopra. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepak_Chopra www.Chopra.com is his website. .Com means commercial that says in a nutshell about his Spiritualism based on his Materialism. Anyhow, the matter is… We Indians know the feat of Vivekananda, who was t...

Saturday, March 01, 2008 Thanks, Huggies India knew babies for 7000+ years. All the babies as usual shit. India never knew a technology – as simple as to deal with this Holy Shit while travelling. As an ardent Tourist, Traveller & Nomad – my heartfelt thanks to Huggies. This simple product made my life easier to Travel with my kid. Thanks to copy cat products from Wipro, Tata or what not the prices are less now. Ladies Sanitary napkin industry is also forging ahead in India. Once upon a time these J&J's products were very costly. Now so many companies, brands… It's such a useful product, that it gave real FREEDOM to women which could not be even thought of by lip service leaders like EVR Periar, Gandhi etc. Technology, Science, R & D – these are the real religions. Human mind alone can emancipate another human from suffering. Thanks Westerners for your Contribution to our daily lives. East & Spirituality alone can't be the answer to Earths mundane problems. ...

Buying Guide: 19" LCD TFT monitor For the past days I am moving around Sadar Bazaar, Big Bazaar, TDI Mall, E-Zone, Sanjay Place, Shah Market in Agra with one goal: to buy a LCD TFT monitor or TV. Lots of reading, research…26" LCD TV also came in to picture, thank god I have not mixed my PC experience with a TV. A TV has to be separate. Also a HDTV resolution / quality / clarity is less.Finally settled down to Samsung 920NW. Wide monitors have very long horizontal view 1440 x 900 resolution. Disadvantages of Wide Screen: · Wikipedia is a long horizontal line to read. · Screen is delicate. Can't tolerate some hot coffee on it. Old CRT glasses are tolerant on any edibles falling on it. · 19" wide screen is 6.8% less screen area than 19" normal. · Vast empty spaces of screen in Google results, ms word, and browsing pages designed for 800 x 600. Advantage of Wide Screen: · Less scrolling :- view of doc, pdf files, web pages benefited · The aspect ratio of A4 paper is...

Wednesday, March 12, 2008 Train from Delhi to Khajuraho Thanks Railway minister Lalu Yadav for promoting Tourism. I lamented in my earlier Khajuraho Blog that there was no direct train link to India's most visited Tourist Spot. I think the Powers That Be listened. Also kudos to them for having introduced Rameshwaram to Benares train. A truly devotee point of view ministry! God will certainly help Lalu score more successes!

My Dream : Why not Google Ocean? I am avid user of Google Earth, Google Mars planet etc. But I am astounded to see there is no site to see our 70% of our Earth's matter the Ocean. I am a lover of Nature, so I love seeing the Ocean waves, which is a meditation itself. You can go on watch the Mahabalipuram Sea waves, the Tuticorin Thermal Power Camp 2 beach waves, Kanya kumari beach waves. Sitting at Agra, 2000 kms away from my home town Tuticorin I yearn to watch those Ocean Currents and the treasure trove inside them, on my Desktop, with the power of the net and the processor. I hope my WISHLIST will be addressed by Google or any other innovating company to bring back the Greatness of the Ocean on Net. I used to see Microsoft Ocean CD for educating myself more on Oceans, but still it lacks the real punch of the Ocean. Also the Fish Screensavers provide a better understanding of Ocean Species. So that power of the software are yet to be brought on to the web. If only I can explore t...

Thursday, March 20, 2008 Arthur C. Clarke Dies I am a fan of Arthur. His Moon Oddyssey, 2001 Space Oddyssey .. and many other sci-fi novels are a Gem and precursor to Tamil Novelist Sujatha's Juno. See the coincidence… Sujatha died just a week before. But it is also obnoxious to know that Arthur C. Clarke is divorced and his reputation marred in child abuse case, that's why he is said to have been migrated to Asia, that is Srilanka where u can get away with anything by bribery. Also Sri Lanka is famous for its Toursim, Beaches, Ethinic Strife. So it is a surmise he used Sri Lanka for his sexual gratification after divorce. We cant say anything solidly now, as he is dead. But this is the price for the over indulgence in the name of Freedom the westerners are paying. We Asians, atleast Indians have been saying – educating people to control the 5 senses.
