That Four Letter Word is releasing this 23rd at Satyam Cinemas
I can give only two reasons for you to watch the film
1. If you've been a regular reader of Sudhish's blog, you'll know why
2. It has Zebra err ... Sunil from Evam

Wondering why i have put this video ?
Check out the entire video to find the reason ...

This is for all you guys who refused to believe when i showed the pic
This is for all you guys who laughed and snigered after seeing the pic
This is for all you guys who transfered the pic on net for your own gratification
This is for all you guys who cropped me out of the pic
THIS IS FOR ALL YOU GUYS ...

Am having the last laugh ! : )

Thanks to Sudhish for letting me use the link

Who owns the road ?

I was walking home this evening from railway station through Kutchery Road, which is a busy one at evenings because it connects Luz and Santhome. One of the junctions at Kutchery Road was jammed, thanks to the three 12B s that came one behind the other. Since i was walking it wasn't very difficult to move because i was able to zip between the vehicles lined up there. On one corner, a fruit vendor had parked his cart adding to the obstruction and an elderly gentleman who was driving his bike, tried to move the cart aside. The vendor all of a sudden emerged out of a gang smoking beedis and started abusing the old man. It seems he has parked his cart using stones and if it so urgent the old man should use the pathway to drive.

Nonsense !!!

This old man pays tax. Road tax for the road he uses, sales tax for the vehicle when he bought it, and a tax on almost everything under the sun. What does this vendor pay ?
Just for this guy to have a drag of beedi, should the people in cars and bikes wait ?

Wiki Camp

When i missed the Blog Camp, i knew i had committed a sin. After reading the Blog Camp posts, i realised that missing Blog Camp was like not going for the first-day-first-show of a Rajnikanth's movie despite having balcony tickets.

And today when i saw that Wiki Camp is coming up, i immediately signed up for it. And yes the founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales would be there at this unconference. I wanted to be with the organising team and thanks to Kausik, who got me into it. All these days i used Wikipedia to search for information, i found that there is more into Wiki only when i saw the registration for Blog Camp and ExtraBed's website which used Wiki in a different way. So this Wiki Camp would be really nourishing for netizens and the topics for the day are on the increase, so at the end, its going to be a day well remembered.

The unconference will be held on Feb 25th 2007 (Sunday) at Tidel Park, and registration is happening in full swing ... For more info and registration, click here.

When Kiruba came to my college last year to conduct a session on blogging, i got hooked to blogs but i never started my own blog because i felt i had nothing to blog about. But this year all of a sudden i thought i should blog and i started this blog. And yes am regretting. I'am regretting that i started late. After i started blogging, life has been cool, i got chance to meet up with a lot of people, a lot of new experiences, i find that i have a lot of new interests and i am immensely enjoying it.

Happy b'day Orkut

It is Orkut's third birthday today. Thanks to Orkut i've caught up with many of my lost friends from school days and am still able to keep in touch with most of them through this site. Cheers Orkut !!!

Google's takeover has brought a lot of innovations in Orkut. GTalk has been merged with Orkut and users can simultaneously use both. Google usually keeps changing logos in their homepage during festive days. The same is now being used in Orkut as well. For diwali, Orkut's logo sported lamps and crackers. There is no big purpose achieved by Google or Orkut in this process but it surely brings a smile in the user's face. It'll last for just a few seconds but it increases the brand's recall value. Smart !

Too good to miss ...

Thanks to my laziness to book tickets beforehand, i missed out the play Five Point Someone by Madras Players when they where performing at museum theatre on the 5th, 6th and 7th of Jan. Actually i was held inside the deep woods of my college on Jan 5th, went for Evam's Art on Jan 6th and the Mylapore Fest on Jan 7th, had i booked the tickets, i would have had the urge to go. Read the reviews of the play written by Kiruba and Ganesh and felt i really missed something. But now, Madras Players are staging Five Point Someone at Saarang. YIPPEE !!!

I cant afford to miss it this time.

Amethyst - Label your restroom !

Having nearly two hours before the 3 pm show of Guru starts, Krishna, Sundar and i decided to go to Amethyst. After 3 cups of coffee, Anand and Fenn joined us there. A heated discussion started about Maniratnam and it slowly drifted to all aspects of cinema and all makers of cinema, suddenly we realise the time is 2.30 pm. When i watch a movie i prefer to watch it from the beginning when they show the censor certificate and i stay at my seat till the end credit rolls fully (yeah, making full use of what i pay !). So we pay the bills and rush out when Krishna and i felt we needed to use the rest room, we walk in, there are two doors and each of us enter one. Finally when i came out i realised there was no rest room for women, when Krishna came out and said the room i went in was for women. Only then i noticed a small flower in the rest room's door which was supposed to mean its for women ..... Gosh !!! Thank God no girl saw me. And then i remembered what i read in the rest room - Please do not flush tissue papers and sanitary napkins. And i checked the guy's rest room, it said - Please do not flush tissue papers. Do they expect people who overlook the wood colored flower on the door to distinguish this way. Shit !!!

Turned around, no one saw, walked out like a nice guy : )

A welcome change ...

After a lot of trial and error, i finally came down to this template ... Tried a lot other templates and also played with the little knowledge of HTML i gained in school. I simply loved this template, i also came across another sexy and ethnic template but i was not able to correct the XML bug in it. Anyway this one is nice :)

Had to rework on all the images i used in this blog to suit this template. Phew ! But the outcome is as good as i expected.

Cripled without the internet !

An assignment is due for submission and you are confident of submitting on time, thanks to the internet. But the previous day evening you try to go online just to find there is a problem with the connection.

Enna koduma saravanan idhu!

Incidents like this makes us realise how much we depend on the internet for almost everything under the sun. But anyway the assignment has been completed on time, had to call up the broadband customer care thrice and after nearly an hour of trouble shooting, am back online :)

Welcome

Ok, after months of confusions on shall-i-create and should-i-create, now my blog is created, this is my first post ...

Am actually clueless on what to post ...

Enna pakareenga ? Enga oorula mike setta ippadi dhan test pannuvanga :)

It feels so good to have one's own space, thats why i've named my blog "510 square feet" after my first house, the place where i grew up, the place where life was an experience in itself, the place where i learnt what is being independant ...
