People have always differentiated those with common names in their own way. Perhaps Initials are the more permanent ways of differentiating them. Initials. Now i have always had trouble with initials, either mixing them up or missing them out and consequently causing confusion around. Especially with Saurashtrians, North Indians( or Any chappathi eating clan) those who have a string of alphabets starting from one for the family name and the others for dad's name, dad's dad's name and stuff. Phew!

Beijing Huan Ying Ni..

,S1,135,610,700
And counting.. ;) (India's population estimate as on July 20th)


Still our chances of winning a Olympic medal seems a distant likelihood. The best individual Indian performance to date, has been the lone silver medal by Rathore at Athens 04. Except for Hockey, Sports itself is a matter of concern in the second most populous country.


A cricket team that has a huge fan following and requires a foreign coach and still loses.
Tennis - One in the top 100?
F1 - A stage for Narain's futile attempts.
Soccer - Do u know an Indian football player besides Baichung Bhutia?!?
Basketball, Baseball, etc.. - Errrrrr...
For all of the "human resources" that India has, shouldn't it be topping the charts?


This topic has been the mainstay for punch dialogues in movies, election campaigns, etc.. that is what they all say, don't they.. "Y hasn't India won a single individual gold medal in the Olympics?? Ponder."


Well i say, Enough of pondering and consequently wondering over the reason for our dismal performance in the past. Its high time that we did something about it, to pull off a feat, that is deservedly ours. In other words, "Yaaravadhu ethavathu panungalaen da!!"


**The government having cogitated on this, in a bid to solve the issue, hikes up the petrol price (ethukku da ippo kootineenga?!?) and decides to send our screen starlets to Beijing!**


List of the final competitors for Beijing 08 from India..


1. Shooting, Archery - Captain Vijayakanth, who has had several real-time life saving combats, is chosen for this category. This should explain it all, showing his relationship with guns and bullets and why shooting at Olympics 08 should be just another day at the office..


2. Volleyball - Rajnikanth and Madhavan.. The superstar's heroics with the ball at Baba was an occasion that was both remarkable and memorable. And that is also the precise reason he is chosen for this. He showed us his amazing control of the ball, defying Newton's laws, unbelievable stamina, the force with which the ball hits the opponents and the style with which he does all this simply makes us go - What a man!
Madhavan as there is no place for cricket (Priyamana Thozhi) in Olympics, could play his team member, for he has been caught running with the volleyball in his hand, in several song sequences (mudhan mudhalai, mobila.. ) but has never been reported playing!!


3. Water Polo - Munna, Jiju, Krishna, Bob , Mani and their respective girlfriends of the "Boys", will form the Water polo Men's and Women's team for their "dating" performance, but will not play against each other!


4. Athletics - The track and field events can be single-handedly taken care of a Ilayathalapathy Vijay, for
  • He can run extremely fast and hop into a running Electric train (Hurdles)
  • Even while running at the end of the pack, he can finish first in 5 secs. (Sprint races) but he is warned his opponents wont be chunky fatsos as Sreeman in ATM.
  • He can jump 150 m (which should be sure enough for Long jump and even Triple jump if he started it after jumpin at the same spot twice) from the top of a building to a nearby railway bridge.
  • He can jump taller than a building from an underground drainage system (High jump)
He is faster than fastest, Quicker than quickest. ;) (CARS Bit)
and he will be joined by Murali and Vadivelu for Pole vault. Those 7 ft giants who have suffered defeat in old Rajni movies could try their hand at Javelin throw or Discus throw..


5. Hockey - Napoleon.. This is a unanimous decision by the board, as Mr.Napoleon has been using a metal hockey stick (Aruvaal) in most of his movies, so all he has to do is replace it with a wooden one.


6. Judo, Taekwondo - Arjun & Vishal. It shouldn't be that difficult to both of them, especially with Super Subburayan and Peter Hein as their coaches.


7. Weightlifting - Sarathkumar. If he can lift Namitha off his back with just one hand on the ground, he can lift anything standing upright.


8. BADminton - As there is no mixed doubles category for Tennis(nalla vela Sania thapicha!) at the Olympics, Simbhu should be a bit low on confidence. His dad, the kollywood King Kong feels that the mixed doubles Badminton section would satisfy his neeeeds.


9. Football - Surya , Tarun, Sibiraj. For they have been able to pull of bicycle kicks with ultimate ease.. And Mr.Surya no dancing on the field with Bhoomika, the same goes for you too Mr.Tarun No aatam pottufying with Shreya and Trisha..


10. Cycling - Several actors can do this but still we had to give it to Jayam Ravi for driving his cycle with perfect balance on top of the compound wall in his debut movie.


11. Diving - Jeeva should be able to do this stuff, for his Dishyoom stuntman role and he could also try his hand at men's gymnastics for his one-leg balancing act in Raam.


12. Fencing - Ajit will have to do car-racing later and can now concentrate on his Fencing skills as he did in Billa, but not with Nayanthara and can play some real opponents.


13. Eve's Section - Namma ooru actresses are well capable of taking care of all the events for the fairer sex. Shreya for Gymnastics, but it will take a large effort to convince her not to wear low-waist jeans. Nami and Ramba will be the swimming mermaids.


14. Other sports - All the other sports can be taken care of the Ulaga Nayagan, Kamal Hassan and his 10 Avatars.


And last but not least, S.J.Surya will be the referee for his New's Whistle scene ;)

A few epigrams that dawned on our(Sowms , Sai and me) dally minds.. (& stolen from Orkut communites too :D)


CSE :


We don't need some 1's complement (~1)


int main {return 0;}


College is my home,
HOD is my mom.


There are 10 types of people in this world :
1.Those who understand Binary and
2.Those who don't understand Binary.


Linux!=Windows


TCE=Talented Computer Engineers(?)


IP address : \\ 36.24.36=0



I m a prugrammer
I m a programier
I m a Programmoor

I write code.


She++ ;)


Computer enGENIOUrS..


God is REAL unless we declare them as INTEGER!


HTTP - Highly Talented Trendy Person


class student
{
Private :

void drinking();


Protected :

void dating();


Public:

void acting();
}


We were asked to decide on the logo too, which after choosing the tagline, was a cinch. Windows, Linux , Apple, and a lot of other (dream company ;) ) logos were borrowed for thought, but we finally rested on a simple, yet more meaningful insignia..




The Recycle Bin.. ;)

Review - Kuruvi


Movie Name : KURUVI
Director : Dharani
Cast : Vijay, Trisha, Suman, Vivek..

Storyline :



Velu (Vijay) is a happy-go-lucky young man, loved by everyone and is the only male offspring of his father’s triple wife family. He is a passionate racer, an exceptional dancer and is also unbelievable at stunts. Like every other Vijay movie, this one also has a hyper exaggerated introduction scene and a song.


Now to the story..Velu’s dad is missing for some unknown reason and so, he works hard to settle all the family debts. One of the cheques given by his dad bounces and the recipient threatens to auction his house, unless he is paid 25 Lakhs in a week. Velu and his friend (Vivek) decide to go to Malaysia and retrieve his dad’s money. Being a bit low on cash, they fly as “Kuruvi”s, small scale merchants who sell Indian products to NRIs. There, Velu encounters Gocha (Suman), the rich, sophisticated hoodlum who refuses to pay the money he owes and tries to kill him instead. Thus on a desperate attempt for money, Velu purloins Gocha’s diamond and returns to India. During his escapade, Devi (Trisha), Gocha’s sister falls in love and flies along with him too. Gocha and his allakaingal follow them to Chennai and pressurizes Velu into giving the diamond.


Only at this point, Velu learns that his Dad is being kept a slave along with several others at an illegal, underground diamond mine near Cuddapah, Andhra by Gocha and his partner Konda Reddy (Ashish Vidyarti), with help from local dog, Cuddapah Raja (some Telugu actor). Velu jumps, flies, and does every impossible, insane stunt and kills all the villains of the movie and releases his father and the people with him. The movie ends with Gocha being arrested by the police for illegitimate mining.


Comments :


Too many logic flaws in the movie.. Few of them for Mr.Dharani to note :
1.The family is unconcerned about the whereabouts of the head of the family.
2.A guy’s three wives living together is virtually impossible in any part of the globe!
3.No family would love u how good u are, without a job.
4.Winning races by accelerating the car, clutching the wires using one’s teeth is not that easy.
5.No one can jump 150m in a single jump.
6.Heroines are not meant to be stupid.
7.Coma patients don’t recover that easy and
8.Just dance and songs in a movie won’t do!


The Punch dialogues are irritating too. Everyone seems to have something to say to the audience! A few of those flicks :

“Kaadu na, naan Singam,

Vaanam na, naan Idi,
Kadal na, naan Sura,
Kathu nu, naan Suravalee”

“Dai fire, car ku pinnadi irunthu prayojanom illa da, manasula irukanum”


“Ivanukku pinnadi tamil nade irukku da!”


“Pechu than oru mathiri irukum, aana namma adi…. Sara Vedi”



"Pottu Kodukira Parambarai engalathu illa,
Pottu Thallra Parambarai thaan engalathu!"

But u got to admit it, Vijay is the best dancing tamil actor today. He does a lot of freakishly-insane-looking-almost-impossible dance steps in an elegant manner.


Rating: A at the max, 5/10


P.S. A good laugh, if u have a very good sense of humor.
