Manikandan: (Gets astonished and says...)eppadi ellathayum therinji vechirkeenga...

Senthil: Information....Information is wealth, database potu vechirkaen..

A trip to capital

It was December 2005 when myself and my friend Prakash went to New Delhi, India's political capital. We both had great experience there and i think i would like to share.

Day1: We both boarded the train at chennai central. The night went smoothly with no problem

Day2: Day time we had no problem, but the real problem came during the night. Since it was a night train i went with a cotton pyjama. As the train crossed Madhya Pradesh temperature dropped to around 4 degress. I had 2 bedsheets but that was not enough. I was shivering. However Prakash had a deep sleep. the whole night i was sleepless.

Day3: We reached Delhi and was picked up by my family friend and we stayed their in R.K.Puram. We took bath and breakfast and went for a walk to a market nearby. The day passed on smoothly and as usual during the night we felt cold. But thank god we had rug to protect ourselves from winter. In the evening we visited Balaji temple which was nearby and the sarojini market where bomb blast took place few months ago.

Day4: Prakash had interview at National Stadium. After attending the interview we went to India Gate then walked down to Rashtrapathi Bhavan. We walked for around 3 KM. From there we went to Parliament. Then we took a metro rail and thought of going to Red Fort. But we didnt know where to get down. I asked a person there and we got down at that station. It was Old Delhi. The place was so different from New Delhi. It was so crowded such that Prakash got frightened and we again took a metro rail and got down at the last stop. There we were roaming for few mins and again took a metro rail and came back to Parliament. From there we took an auto and went to R.K.Puram. The day then went well.

Day5: I had interview at the same place. It was Vijay Diwas and all the arms that were used during 1971 war was on display. So we had a glimpse of it and had a Bhel Puri. It was so hot that we emptied a chill 1 litre Fanta in 5 mins and the temperature outside was around 5 to 6 degrees. Then we again took the metro rail and got down at Cannought Place and had our lunch. Then we went to Paalika Bazaar, an underground shopping mall. We purchased few things and took an auto to R.K.Puram. Then we visited Mother ashram near by and then to Prakash's friend's house. We spent few minutes there and came back. It was semester time for us. So we took a flight to Chennai, but fortunately or unfortunately the exam was postponed due to heavy rain.

It was a great experience eventhough was a short trip. We enjoyed each and every moment over there and I enjoyed the climate a lot. It was cold but after a long time i experienced such a climate.

Following a request from Janani, i am posting 10 things which i like the most

1. Spend time with friends in the beach
2. Listening to Ilayaraja's Music
3. To roam alone during the night
   
4. Like to see those movies which has something in it unlike masala movies
5. Love cricket to the core. I am mad about cricket
6. To spend time in forest (looks strange na)
   
7. Sleep in the terrace looking at the stars
8. Get drenched in rain
   
9. Like to sing but unfortunately voice is not that good
10. To discuss about my future with someone who can understand me
    

College or Jail - You decide

With exams got over i just want to share a few things about my college.

Name: St.Joseph's College Of Engineering.
Location: Chennai
Chairman: Mr. Jeppiar

These things are very common and most of the chennaites know. However i would like to say the rules of the college which may help those who are seeking admissions.

Here comes the famous rules of St.Joseph's:

• No electronic items except calculator are allowed inside the campus
• Cumpulsory college bus and college mess

• Notebooks will be provided by the college for which a sum of Rs 3,500 has to be paid
  
• Coachimg will be provided by the college for campus placements but students should stay in the college upto 5'o clock.However buses will be provided to all.

Eventhough these rules seems to strict, my college provides

• Excellent infrastructure and campus placements.
  
• It has got more than 40,000 books in the library
  
• It is the number 1 college in Tamil Nadu when it comes to sports.
  
• Defenders of the TIES and other major sports events held in and around Tamil Nadu.

So those who are reading this hope would have come to know about the college more. It is up to you now to decide whether you would like to join the college or not.

Power Theft in Delhi

Its May and the mercury is rising new heights in several parts of the country especially in North India where the temperature has gone more than 45 degrees. People started switch on their AC early in the morning to beat the heat. But this has backfired them especially in New Delhi. There has been a plenty of power cuts all throughout the day.

Why this power cuts happening???

Almost 40% of the total power in Delhi is being stolen every day and in this 60% is used by domestic users and the remaining 40% is given for industries.

My way of looking at GOD

This is just my view and not intended to hurt anyone's feelings.

Everyone in this world believe in God and i am no exception. There are so many religion and each has their own God. Everyone worship God for their welfare and wants everything done by God. However there is an important fact which many couldn't understand.

Will God come in person and help people?

The answer is NO.

Then does this mean God does not exists.

NO, God exists.

Quite confusing right!!!

Ok let me explain this concept.

Actually the following was a conversation between Kamal Hassan and Madhavan in the movie Anbe Sivam ( i may not be correct with the dialogues) which made me think who God is.

Madhavan : (crying) Ean ippadi nadakanum

Kamal Hassan: Ean enna aachu

Madhavan : Ethuku kedaikatha oru blood group onnu kedavachi avana pozhaka vechi ippo.... avana ean savadikanum. Ippo than enaku kadavul irukara illiya nu santhegam varthu. Illa illa naa ungala madiri illa. Enaku kadavul nambikai iruku.

Kamal : Enaku kadavul nambikai illa nu yaar sonna.

Madhavan : Oh! Enna thideernu. Yaar antha kadavul

Kamal : Nee than

Madhavan : Naa na. Onnum puriyalayae

Kamal :Munna pinna theriyatha oruthanuku kaneer sinthariyae athan kadavul.


Hope those who had read this would have understood what I am trying to say.
Any comments are welcome.

Once again no ill feelings as this just my way of how i look at God and not intended to hurt anyone.

Free of Cost!!!!!!

After seeing all these manifestos i found it very easy to write my own manifesto if at all i join politics. So as of now this is my imagination and any resemblence is purely coincidental.

My manifesto goes like this.

• Free slippers to everyone
• Each one will get free cow for making business
  
• For every colour TV you buy you are eligible for a free remote control
• Ration rice will be given free of cost irrespective of how many kilos you buy
• 10 kg of gold will be given free of cost for every 10 gms of gold
• Mount Road will be divided and will be given to every one equally free of cost
• Will make sure that every one in Tamil Nadu will get everything for free even if exchequer becomes bankrupt
• Engineering colleges will be opened in nook and corner of TamilNadu
• Lap-Tops along with broadband internet connection will be given free of cost
• Free cellular phone along with connection for everyone
• For every 1 litre of petrol 2 litres of oil will be given free of cost

Sorry, i am able to give only this much free of cost. If at all our country becomes economically stronger than what it is now i ll try to give Rs 10000/- for everyone who has no job.

Thank you and hope you will vote for me.

A Musician Par Excellence

Born and brought up in a remote village near Kambam, Ilayaraja one of the greatest music directors of all time India has ever produced. He is the first Asian to symphony for London Philharmonic Orchestra. Raja as people call him has scored music for over 1000 films (albums) in a span of 28 years. Annakili directed by Mohan in 1976 marked his entry into Tamil film industry. He has scored music for many great directors which includes K.Balachander, Maniratnam, Bharathiraja.

Came to Chennai at the age of 29,learned guitar and piano under Dhanraj master and later earned his diploma in music in London's Trinity College of Music. He has won 3 national awards for the film Sagara Sangamam, Sindhu Bhairavi and Rudra Veena. Apart from scoring music, Raja likes to write poetry not only in Tamil but in Hindi as well. He has a great passion for photography and painting. He is a spritual person and has composed several devotional songs on Ramana Maharishi and the latest being Thiruvasagam, which was a huge success among the public.

His song "Rakama Kaiya Thatu" in Thalapathi was the number one song in BBC's list of best song. He was the music composer for the 1996 Miss World held at Banglore. He had a great affinity towards carnatic music which is evident from his works. He gave music of life time for the film Sindhu Bhairavi which was of carnatic style. He also invented a raga named Panchamukhi. He also penned his own Keertanas.

One interesting fact about Raja is that during the 80's films ran for more than 100 days jus for the sake of his name. Songs which he composed during those period was a instant hit. He has scored music in many languages which includes Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi and English. He has produced some great compositions which includes:

• Sindhu Bhairavi
• Salangai Oli
• Puthu Puthu Arthangal
• Hey Raam
• Thevar Magan
• Poovae Poochudava
• Agni Natchatiram
• Anjali
• Nayagan

Apart from films, Raja has scored various albums like "How To Name It", "Nothing But Wind" which are mind blowing. Raja's music has bought laurels not only to TamilNadu but for the whole nation. We should be proud of him. According to me he is one of the pride of India.

What a leader!!!

India has produced great leaders who fought for the nation's freedom. Not only India, every country has got great leaders. However no country could have seen such a leader who is the Railway Minister and other is former chief minister of Bihar. The respect they give for the country is such that no one in this world would have given. Confused about this, just take a look at this photo and you will understand what it is.

These two leaders were sitting when national anthem was being played and i still couldn't understand how they ruled Bihar for 15 years. Hope atleast after seeing this people will realise and vote them out of power in the future.

Budhiya Singh

A 5 yr old child from Orissa went for a long run of more than a marathon and half before retiring a mile short of his goal. With his coach by his side on a bicycle, Budhia Singh started from his hometown at 4:00 AM and ran for 40 miles in just 7 hours. Soldiers, Ambulance and Doctors accompanied this kid. He had hoped to reach CRPF head quarters at 11 AM but fell short of his goal. The boy fell on the ground and was taken to the hospital near by where the doctors reported he was in stable condition.This child could be the answer for India's challenge in Athletics at the world level if he is trained properly and i hope the government supports Budhia.

Who Will Win???

THE BATTLE CONTINUES

With elections round the corner the political parties fighting it out in the streets of Tamil Nadu, campaigning for their candidates. With the pre-poll surveys predicting a close contest between the ruling AIADMK and DMK, both the parties are confident of getting clear majority. However history suggests that which ever party has a pre-poll alliance wins the election. In 2001, AIADMK had a grand alliance with the then TMC (now joined with Congress) and other parties. But this time around it is the reversal where the DMK has a grand alliance called Democratic People's Alliance which comprises of Congress, PMK, CPI, CPI-M and of course DMK whereas AIADMK has joined hands with MDMK and DPI. But nothing can be written off before the elections. If DMK wins then this will be the 5th time that M.Karunanidhi will be the chief minister of Tamil Nadu whereas Jayalalitha is seeking her 3rd term as the chief minister.

This election will see AIADMK contesting in 182 seats, 35 seats for MDMK, 9 to DPI whereas DMK will contest in 129 seats, 48 to Congress, 31 to PMK, 13 to CPI, while CPM and UML got 10 and 3 seats respectively.

Lets look at the manifesto of both the parties:

DMK:

• Rice at Rs 2/kg.
• A free colour TV for women of every family.
• Rs 1000 maternity assistance for 6 months.
• Free gas stove for every poor family.
• Coop loans to farmers to be waived.
• Free power to ryots, weavers.
• Reservation for minorities.
• Free electricity to Weavers in addition to farmers.
• 2 acres of land to the landless poor families.
• Old age pension increased to Rs.400/-

AIADMK:

• 5 lakh IT Jobs in 5 years.
• Opening a Engineering colleges equivalent to IIT Chennai in more then 5 major cities of Tamilnadu.
• Ensure Tamilnadu garden of peace.
• Develop new technology for more growth.
• Take the states economy to new heights.
• Introduce more development schemes for people’s welfare.
• Eradicate illiteracy.
• Improve the lot of women.
• Attracting foreign companies to invest in Tamilnadu.
• Works towards prosperity of farmers, weavers, fishermen, students, government employees, teachers, workers and other sections of peoples.
• Control prices.
• Snuff out communalism, extremism, un separatism.
• Deal with inter-state issues in amicable manner.

Other than these two parties, other parties contesting the elections are Vijaykanths's DMDK, BJP, and Lok Paritran started by the IIT'ans. Eventhough Lok Paritran is contesting only in 5 to 6 seats hope they ll bring some change in TamilNadu politics.
