Tamil Nadu census site

November 19, 2008 – 11:01 pm
As usual I was browsing around and was surprised to find the Tamil Nadu census site online containing the most recent census data from 2001 with all kind of data like male,female,working,literates count etc with district,taluks,blocks based maps and charts. Good to know Tamil Nadu has a 73.5% literacy rate. It would be nice if they get some neat charts. I was able to find the Indian Census site but wasn't able to view data since it requires a login created which is free. So if you got time and curious check it out.

Sabapathy one of a kind

November 10, 2008 – 11:44 pm
There are some movies that you can watch n number times because they are so well made and the plot of the movie still applies today. Sabapathy released in 1941 falls under that category and a precursor to all comedy movies in tamil. Most of the new comedians mostly take a thread from this movie and repackage to the current trend. One simple example is the repackaging of the master servant switching places story one example I could remember right away is Ullathai alithaa which was big hit in 90's. Some other surprising things I noticed are: People bribed even before India got Independence and it was even shown in movies. So bribe was something that we had it not something we generated after independence. Still we haven't fixed it thats the sad part. Almost 70 years of promises by politicians. Tanglish was born and brought up even before the Dravidian parties was ...

Man of simple words

November 10, 2008 – 2:11 am
I was watching this movie Iru vallavargal which I watched assuming that the Paradee Kanney song was from this movie. Its a typical 60's masala tamil movie which is way better than current masala movies. But I was quite amazed with Kannadasan lyrics for the sad situation. Its just 4 lines and about 25 words but he brings in the whole concept of life in to that. These concepts,ideas and words all have been there for centuries but he some how gets all these in to those 4 lines which can be understood by any one. Uravu Irunthal Pirivu Irukum Ulaga Neethe Vaaravu irunthal Selavu irukum Valkai neethe Pagal Irunthal Iravu irukum Iraivan Neethee Palakiya Pin vilakuvathey Manitha Jathi. Here is the translation for the above lyrics..correct me if I'm wrong. If there is relation then there is separation thats Worlds rule. If there is earning then there is Expense thats life's rule. If there is day then ...

November 6, 2008 – 11:55 pm
Exclusive online indicators is one of the features that Yahoo messenger power users get which can be used to display those special status images in Web and Messenger.

One good marketing strategy which created the buzz.. Well not to bore you here is the URL that you would have ...

ICICI NRI services sucks..

October 19, 2008 – 11:33 pm
If ur wondering Y I haven't blogged for the last week is because I have been trying to open an NRI account with ICICI bank which is a real pain. They made my life so miserable by each call center representative/ relationship managers/ online resources giving me different instruction for me resolve the discrepancies. I wasn't treated like a customer it was like as if I'm begging them to save my money in their bank. My dad worked for ICICI and obviously I liked th organization since he worked their. Not any more and I'm so pissed with them that I'm not going to recommend ICICI to any one or may be I will go one step ahead and request my friends to close their accounts with ICICI. Looks like the good old days of ICICI serving its customer has gone or may be I was treated differently snce my dad worked ...
