I was @ the 3rd street promenade yesterday and listened to Seis Cuerdas perform this song and ever since I have been playing this track on loop.
It’s not every day I buy a solo guitar music CD on the street

Never ending Surangani..

Some songs just don’t die just like the Batman,spider man or the Friday the 13th movies.
Same like that the Surangani baila song from Srilanka was remixed in tamil in the past and now the Surangani remix by Dinesh Kanagaratnam yet again adapted in tamil movie called ‘taxi TN O7 AL 4777‘ and its one of the best remixes I have listened in recent times.
Surangani tamil remix called Aathichudi from taxi TN O7 AL 4777.
The original video track was removed from Youtube hence i’m including just the audio track from youtube.
Surangani Remix by Dinesh. I personally like this one..
Original Surangani sinhala track probably who ever listened to Ceylon radio would know this song.
Original Surangani track adpated by an old tamil movie. Not so great though..
India Electoral Roll List search

Yet again I was immersed reading Wikipedia articles and I found a site that basically provides search interface to search the electoral roll list of India.
With elections on the way this tool would avoid people from visiting the poll booth and return back with out voting since they aren’t in the list. It can be accessed from the below link.
BTW I’m not sure if it really works because I kept encountering this login pop up which was annoying so I found the site for Tamil Nadu Election commison to check if I was there in the list.
One more you need to download their own tamil fonts and install. I know..
Bummer TN election has a search interface with Under construction message. They do have another form which gives out tamil pdf for district – Constituency ward list for each of them.
Again bummer its in tamil so I can’t search in firefox or inside pdf which is a pain. So I had to literally read through all names in my ward and to every ones surprise I’m not listed 
Waste of time. One good thing now I know my neighbours name and avoided a trip for my dad to check out the list.

End of Tax Season 2008…

Generally I procrastinate filing the tax every year but this year I filed it too early considering my standard.
Although I’m not getting much in federal and paying some to CA 
tax its the free e-file feature, sudden interest to file my tax and get the return before federal govt goes bankrupt 
that motivated me to file early.
Thanks to FreeTaxUSA.Com for providing free federal tax return using the coupon code ‘FEDFREE‘.
People say California is on the verge of going bankrupt but still they made to provide this free e-file tool called CalFile which is pretty good. Instead of free e-file California can just remove the state tax itself 
, I wish……..
Both the free e-file option are basic and it should be good for most of my single friends in H1b or in F1 OPT.

Thai Piranthal Vazhi Pirakum is an old tamil saying which means as the tamil calendar month of Thai is born you will find solutions to all your problems.
This year its true in my case since I finally got out of my cycle of cold -flu – bronchitis with this new month. Although doctor prescribed the medicine and I took it but still it counts as an solution right ain’t it.
Happy Pongal..
Here is the original lyrics from the song. Video Link for the song.
தை பொறந்தா வழி பொறக்கும் தங்கமே தங்கம் தங்க சம்பா நெல் விளையும் தங்கமே தங்கம்
ஆடியிலே வெதை வெதைசோம் தங்கமே தங்கம்
ஐப்பசியில் களை எடுத்தோம் தங்கமே தங்கம்
கார்த்திகையில் கதிராச்சி தங்கமே தங்கம்
கார்த்திகையில் கதிராச்சி தங்கமே தங்கம்
கழனியெல்லாம் பொன்னாச்சி தங்கமே தங்கம்
தை பொறந்தா வழி பொறக்கும் தங்கமே தங்கம்
தங்க சம்பா நெல் விளையும் தங்கமே தங்கம்
கன்னியரின் மனசு போலே தங்கமே தங்கம்
கல்யாணம் ஆகுமடி தங்கமே தங்கம் ஆமா !
கன்னியரின் மனசு போலே தங்கமே தங்கம்
கல்யாணம் ஆகுமடி தங்கமே தங்கம்
வண்ணமணி கைகளிலே தங்கமே தங்கம் ஆகா !
வளையல்களும் குலுங்குமடி தங்கமே தங்கம்
தை பொறந்தா வழி பொறக்கும் தங்கமே தங்கம்
தங்க சம்பா நெல் விளையும் தங்கமே தங்கம்
முத்துசம்பா நெல்லு குத்தி தங்கமே தங்கம்
முற்றத்திலே சோறு பொங்கி தங்கமே தங்கம்
குத்து விளக்கேற்றி வச்சி தங்கமே தங்கம் ஆமா
குத்து விளக்கேற்றி வச்சி தங்கமே தங்கம்
கொண்டாடி மகிழ்ந்திடுவோம் தங்கமே தங்கம்
தை பொறந்தா வழி பொறக்கும் ….

I have always wanted to do an podcast about superstitious beliefs that we have in our society and existence of god himself but Director Seeman has given a better speech with more facts.
If you know tamil and are atheists or a person looking out for an answer then you might like it for others its abusive so please stay away. You should have patience as well bcz seeman brags abt himself a lot in his speeches.
I wonder why the so called pro-ltte sites which carry all speeches of Seeman didn’t carry this one. May be they aren’t atheist who just need the support of Seeman’s speech alone.
Orkut No Donut for you..You can only add upto 250 favorites
Well who ever has used Orkut are aware the blog post title message which shows up when Orkut’s server are too busy to respond.
But this time no donuts for the whole Orkut team since they have set a hard limit of only 250 video links per profile which I hate personally hate and I’m not even a heavy user of Orkut. Here is the message I get when I add a video:
Looks like the Orkut network is going backwards instead of moving forward by implementing this kind of limit. Considering India being one the major market for India this is a really bad move since Indian music industry is driven by the film industry with each having 5 songs minimum. Don’t ask me why we need 5 songs in middle of a movie that’s a whole different story.
The reality is every orkut user bookmarks(embeds) all kind of youtube Indian film songs and this limit is going to make the users move to a different network. Wake up Orkut..
Here are some suggestions Orkut might do to improve the videos section which I personally used to like:
Considering all this downfalls of Orkut I do think may be I should join Facebook but I use these social networks to keep in touch with friends which Orkut does it ok for me.
May be I should depend more on my blog running on WordPress more where I control my app/data than letting them control me what I can and can’t do.
