&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; പ്രണയം .. ബെര്‍ലി പറഞ്ഞത് പോലെ, ലാലേട്ടന്റെ ഒരുഗ്രന്‍ പെര്‍ഫോര്‍മന്‍സ് പ്രതീക്ഷിച്ചാണ് പടം കാണാന്‍ പോയത്.. പ്രതീക്ഷിച്ച പോലെ ലാലേട്ടന്‍ കലക്കി.. പക്ഷെ പടമോ..&amp;nbsp; പടം കുഴപ്പമില്ല.. ഒരു എബോ അവെരേജ് എന്ന് പറയാം.. അത്ര കിടിലം ഒന്നുമല്ല..&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ആദ്യ പകുതി ഒട്ടു മുക്കാലും നല്ല അലമ്പ് ആയിരുന്നു.. പ്രതീക്ഷ കൂടി പോയത് കൊണ്ട് ആവാം എന്ന് തോന്നണു.. ലാലേട്ടന്‍ സ്ട്രോങ്ങ്‌ ആയി വരുന്നത് ഇന്റെര്‍വെല്ലിനു ശേഷം ആണ്.. അത് വരെ, ജയപ്രദ ആന്‍ഡ്‌ അനുപം ഖേറിന്റെ പഴയ കാലം ഒക്കെ ആണ് മെയിന്‍.. അനുപം ഖേറിന്റെ പഴയ കാലം അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്ന നടനെ എന്റെ കയ്യില്‍ കിട്ടിയാല്‍ രണ്ടു പൊട്ടിക്കണം 
എന്നുണ്ട്.. അത്ര നല്ല അലമ്പ് ആയിട്ടുണ്ട്.. ഒരു വളിച്ച ചിരിയും.. ഹോ!!.. 
അസഹനീയം.. അത് പോലെ ഫസ്റ്റ് ഹാഫില്‍ ഒന്ന് രണ്ട മണ്ടത്തരം സംവിധായകന്‍ 
കാണിച്ചു കൂട്ടിയിട്ടുണ്ട്.. &lt;br /&gt;
1 . 1970 കളുടെ ആദ്യ പകുതിയില്‍ എങ്ങോ ആണ് ജയപ്രദയുടെയും അനുപം ഖേരിന്റെയും
 യൌവനം കാണിക്കുന്നത്.. അതില്‍ ഒരു പാട്ടുണ്ട്.. ഒരു പഴയ തീവണ്ടിയില്‍ ആണ് 
പാട്ട്.. ആ തീവണ്ടിയുടെ മുന്‍ ഭാഗം തനി സ്റ്റീം എഞ്ചിന്‍ തന്നെ.. ബാക്കി 
ബോഗികള്‍ കാണിക്കുന്നതോ, നമ്മുടെ ഇപ്പോഴത്തെ ട്രെയിനിന്റെ.. ( എഞ്ചിന്‍ 
മാത്രം ആദ്യവും, ബോഗികള്‍ പിന്നെയും ആണ് കാണിക്കുന്നത്).. ചെറിയ തെറ്റാണു 
ക്ഷമിക്കാം.. പക്ഷെ അടുത്തത് ക്ഷമിക്കാന്‍ എനിക്ക് പറ്റില്ല..&lt;br /&gt;
2 . അനുപം ഖേര്‍ ചെറുപ്പത്തില്‍ ഒരു വന്‍ ഫുട്ബോള്‍ കളിക്കാരന്‍ ആയിരുന്നു 
എന്നാണു കാണിക്കുന്നത്.. അതായത് 1970 -80&amp;nbsp; കാലഘട്ടം തന്നെ.. ആ സമയത്തെ ഒരു 
സീനില്‍ പുള്ളിക്കാരന്‍ ഇട്ടിരിക്കുന്ന ജേഴ്സി ഏതാണെന്ന് അറിയണ്ടേ.. 
നമ്മുടെ മാന്ചെസ്റ്റെര്‍ യുനിട്ടെട് ഇപ്പോള്‍, അതായത് 2011il&amp;nbsp; 
ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്ന അതെ സാധനം.. അത് കൊരച് കൂടി പോയില്ലേ?. നിങ്ങള്‍ പറ.. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
അങ്ങനെ ഫസ്റ്റ് ഹാഫ് ഒരു മാതിരി തള്ളി നീക്കി.. ആദ്യ പകുതിയില്‍ ലാലേട്ടന് 
അധികം സീന്‍ ഒന്നുമില്ല. അത് കൊണ്ട് രണ്ടാം പകുതിയില്‍ പൊളിക്കും എന്ന് 
പ്രതീക്ഷിച്ചു.. അത് തന്നെ സംഭവിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു.. സെക്കന്റ് ഹാഫ് 
പൊളിച്ചടുക്കി നമ്മുടെ ലാലേട്ടനും അനുപം ഖേറും ജയപ്രദയും കൂടി.. ലിപ് 
സിങ്ക് കുറച്ചു അരോചകം ആയി തോന്നി.. എന്നാലും അനുപം ഖേറും ജയപ്രദയും ഭേഷ് 
ആക്കി.. രണ്ടാം പകുതിയില്‍ ആണ് പടത്തിന്റെ ഒരു ഫീല്‍ വന്നത്.. അത് വരെ 
ബോര്‍ അടിച്ച ഇരിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു.. ഒരു വശം തളര്‍ന്നു കിടക്കുന്ന, പഴയ 
ഫിലോസഫി പ്രൊഫസര്‍ ആയ മാത്യുസിനെ ലാലേട്ടന്‍ മനോഹരമായി അവതരിപ്പിച്ചു.. ഓരോ
 ഡയലോഗും മനോഹരം ആയിരുന്നു... പടം കണ്ട എന്റെ ഒരു പെണ്‍ സുഹൃത്ത് എന്നോട് 
പറഞ്ഞത് ഇങ്ങനെ.. "ഒരു സിനിമയില്‍ ഞാന്‍ കാണുന്ന ഏറ്റവും സ്നേഹവാനായ 
ഭര്‍ത്താവ്, ആരും ആഗ്രഹിക്കും ഇത് പോലെ ഒരു ഭര്‍ത്താവിനെ കിട്ടാന്‍ " 
എന്ന്.. അത്ര മനോഹരം ആയിട്ടാണ് ലാലേട്ടന്‍ ആ കഥാപാത്രത്തെ അവതരിപ്പിച്ചത്..
 ഒട്ടും ഓവര്‍ ആക്കിയിട്ടില്ല.. ബ്ലെസി മോഹന്‍ലാലിനെ നല്ല രീതിയില്‍ 
ഉപയോഗിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.. ഇടയ്ക്കു കുറച്ച ഫിലോസഫി ഡയലോഗുകളും, കുറച്ചു തമാശയും
 ഒക്കെ ആയി നല്ല കഥാപാത്രം.. പിന്നെ, "i 'm&amp;nbsp; your&amp;nbsp; man " എന്നാ പാട്ടും.. 
ഗംഭീരം.. :).. &lt;br /&gt;
പ്രധാന കഥാപാത്രങ്ങള്‍ ആയ അച്യുത മേനോനും , ഗ്രേസും, മാത്യുസും 
ഒരുമിച്ചുള്ള എല്ലാ സീനും മനോഹരം ആയിരുന്നു.. പശ്ചാത്തല സംഗീതം കൊള്ളാം.. 
പക്ഷെ ഇമോഷണല്‍ രംഗങ്ങളില്‍ ഉപയോഗിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന മ്യൂസിക്‌ കോപി അടി 
ആണെന്ന് എന്റെ ഒരു സുഹൃത്ത് പറഞ്ഞു.. പാട്ടുകള്‍, കുഴപ്പമില്ല... 
അത്രതന്നെ.. കാമെറ ഫ്രെയ്മ്സ് കൊള്ളാം നന്നായിട്ടുണ്ട്.. എന്റെ കോളേജിലെ 
സീനിയര്‍ ആയ ഷിനൂബ് ഇതില്‍&amp;nbsp; അസിസ്റ്റന്റ്‌ സിനിമടോഗ്രഫെര്‍ ആണ്.. 
നന്നായിട്ടുണ്ട് ഷിനൂബെ.. :).. &lt;br /&gt;
എന്തായാലും, എല്ലാവരും കണ്ടിരിക്കേണ്ട ഒരു പടം തന്നെ.. ആദ്യ പകുതി കുറച്ച 
സഹിച്ച്ചിരിക്കണം എന്ന് മാത്രം.. ബൈ ദി വേ, അനൂപ്‌ മേനോന്റെ ഭാര്യ ആയി 
അഭിനയിക്കുന്ന പുള്ളിക്കാരി, ഷി ഈസ്‌ ഗോര്‍ജ്യസ്.. ;).. മലയാളം അറിയില്ല, 
ലിപ് സിങ്ക് പിന്നെയും പ്രശ്നം ആണേ.. എന്നാലും.. :)..&amp;nbsp; അത് പോലെ, 
ജയപ്രദയുടെ പഴയ കാലം അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്ന നടിയും നല്ല ഭംഗി ഉള്ള കുട്ടി 
തന്നെ.. ;).. ഭാഗ്യത്തിന് പുള്ളിക്കാരിക്ക് മലയാളം അറിയാം.. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ബ്ലെസി-യോട് രണ്ടു വാക്ക്..&lt;br /&gt;
1 . പടം കൊള്ളാം.. പക്ഷെ ഇതിനെക്കാള്‍ നന്നാക്കാമായിരുന്നു.. മലയാളം 
അറിയാവുന്ന നടീനടന്മാരെ കൊണ്ട് അഭിനയിപ്പിചൂടെ ?.. ലിപ് സിങ്ക് നല്ല 
വൃത്തികെട് ആയിട്ടുണ്ട്.. ഇടക്കൊക്കെ ഏതോ ഡബ് ചെയ്ത പടം കാണുന്ന പോലെ 
ഉണ്ട്.. &lt;br /&gt;
2 . ചെറിയ ചില കാര്യങ്ങള്‍, നേരത്തെ ഞാന്‍ സൂചിപ്പിച്ച പോലത്തെ (ജെര്സി ) ,
 ഒന്ന് നല്ലോണം ശ്രദ്ധിക്കണേ.. അത് മതി പ്രേക്ഷകന് ദേഷ്യം തോന്നാന്‍.. :)&lt;br /&gt;
3 . പടം ഹിറ്റ്‌ ആവും.. ഒറപ്പാ.. :).. ഇതിനെക്കാള്‍ നല്ല അടുത്ത പടം പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കുന്നു.. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

style="font-size:100%;"&gt;'നിലവാരമുള്ള ഒരു പൊളിഞ്ഞ പടം'. സീരിയല്‍ താരമായ അനൂപ്‌ മേനോന്‍ ആദ്യമായി തിരക്കഥ എഴുതുക, മോഹന്‍ലാല്‍, സുരേഷ് ഗോപി എന്നിവര്‍ ഒരുമിച്ച് അഭിനയിക്കുക എന്നീ പ്രത്യേകതകള്‍ ഉണ്ട് ഈ ചിത്രത്തിന്. നല്ല തിരക്കഥ, സംഭാഷണം, മോഹന്‍ലാലിന്‍റെ ഗംഭീര പ്രകടനം എന്നിവയാണ് ഈ സിനിമയുടെ പോസിറ്റീവ് സൈഡ്. പക്ഷെ  എഡിറ്റിങ്ങിലെയും  സംവിധാനത്തിലെയും കാസ്റ്റിങ്ങിലെയും പോരായ്മകള്‍ പലപ്പോഴും അലോസരമുണ്ടാക്കുന്നു.         &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'പകല്‍ നക്ഷത്രങ്ങള്‍' സിദ്ധാര്‍ധന്‍റ്റെ കഥയാണ്. അതീവപ്രതിഭാശാലിയായ ഒരു സിനിമ സംവിധായകന്‍ ആണ് 'സിദ്ധന്‍' അഥവാ 'സിദ്ധാര്‍ഥന്‍'. പക്ഷെ ജീവിതത്തില്‍ അയാള്‍ മദ്യത്തിനും മയക്കുമരുന്നിനും സ്ത്രീകള്‍ക്കും അടിപ്പെട്ടവനാണ്. അയാളുടെ മനസ്സിന്‍റെ ഉള്ളറകളെ തൊട്ടറിയാന്‍ ഏറ്റവുമടുത്ത സുഹൃത്തുക്കള്‍ക്കുപോലും സാധിച്ചിട്ടില്ല. ഇങ്ങനെയെല്ലാം ഒരു പ്രത്യേക സ്വഭാവത്തിന് ഉടമയായ 'സിദ്ധന്‍' ഒരു പ്രഭാതത്തില്‍ മരിച്ചതായി കാണപ്പെടുമ്പോള്‍ അത് കുറെ ദുരൂഹതകള്‍ ഉയര്‍ത്തുന്നു. ആത്മഹത്യയോ കൊലപാതകമോ എന്ന് പോലീസിന് പോലും മനസ്സിലാക്കാന്‍ കഴിയുന്നില്ല.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;വര്‍ഷങ്ങള്‍ക്കു ശേഷം സിദ്ധന്‍റ്റെ മകന്‍ പ്രശസ്തനായ ഒരു എഴുതുകാരനായിതീരുന്നു. അച്ഛനെപ്പറ്റി ഒരു പുസ്തകമെഴുതാനായി അവന്‍ ആ സര്‍ഗപ്രതിഭയുടെ ജീവിതത്തെ അടുത്തറിയാന്‍ ശ്രമിക്കുന്നു. ആ ഒരു യാത്രയില്‍  അവന്‍റെ അച്ഛന്‍റെ മരണത്തിനു പിന്നിലെ ദുരൂഹതകളുടെ ചുരുളുകള്‍ അവനു മുന്നില്‍ ഓരോന്നായി അഴിഞ്ഞു വീഴുന്നു. സിദ്ധന്‍റ്റെ സുഹൃത്തുക്കളും, ആത്മാക്കളുമായി സംസാരിക്കാന്‍ കഴിവുണ്ടെന്ന് അവകാശപ്പെടുന്ന ഡോ. വൈദ്യനാഥനും അവനെ സഹായിക്കാനുണ്ട്. അവസാനം അവന്‍ ആ ഞെട്ടിക്കുന്ന സത്യം പ്രേക്ഷകരോട് പറയുമ്പോള്‍ സിനിമ പൂര്‍ത്തിയാവുന്നു.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;മോഹന്‍ലാലിന്‍റെ  കയ്യില്‍ 'സിദ്ധന്‍' ഭദ്രമാണ്. ഗംഭീരമായ ഒരു പ്രകടനമാണ് ലാല്‍ കാഴ്ച്ചവക്കുന്നത്. ഈ കഥാപാത്രം മികവുറ്റതാക്കിയത്തിനു  ലാലിന് ഫിലിം ക്രിടിക്സ് അവാര്‍ഡ്‌ ലഭിച്ചിരുന്നു. സാധാരണയില്‍ നിന്നും വ്യത്യസ്തമായ &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;റോളുകളില്‍ നമുക്ക് കല്പ്പനയെയും സുരേഷ് ഗോപിയെയും കാണാം. പക്ഷെ കാസ്ടിങ്ങിലെ പോരായ്മ മറ്റു പല കഥാപാത്രങ്ങളെയും ജീവനില്ലാത്തതാക്കുന്നു.&lt;br /&gt;ബഡ്ജെറ്റിലെ പോരായ്മ മൂലമാവാം എഡിറ്റിങ്ങും സൌണ്ട് എഫെക്ട്സും ഒട്ടും പോര.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;എന്തൊക്കെയായാലും മോഹന്‍ലാലിന്‍റെ മാസ്മരികമായ അഭിനയവും, നല്ല കഥയും സംഭാഷണവും ഈ സിനിമയെ അതിന്‍റെതായ ഒരു 'ക്ലാസ്സില്‍' എത്തിക്കുന്നു. ഏതൊരു ചലച്ചിത്രപ്രേമിക്കും മറക്കാനാവാത്ത ഒരു അനുഭവം ആയിരിക്കും 'പകല്‍ നക്ഷത്രങ്ങള്‍'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

I have seen lots of films.. Films which got nominated for Oscars, films which got awarded as the best picture, blah blah.. Everytime I watch those critically acclaimed films, I get too much excited, how this film gonna be, will that really live up to my expectations etc. All the time I was satisfied, but this time, "Hurt Locker", the film which got Best Picture award at the latest Oscars, destroyed all my hopes and expectations..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Totally boring, unrealistic, lifeless - these are the words I have to describe this film.. An utter waste of time.. Even slept of a few times in between.. :P... Yeah, you guys can say tht I didn like the film coz I slept off.. But I couldn help it..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if ever it comes to a theater near your place (Mostly it wont come, even in US theaters dont want to screen such a boring film), dont go watch it...

Now the reason may be the conflict with Microsoft-IIS ( Internet Information Services ).&lt;br /&gt;The problem is that both IIS and Apache has default port 80. Now,  if u installed Apache using Wamp server, then click on the wamp server icon on the bottom right, select 'Apache', select 'Service' and then click on 'test port'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If IIS is running, you will be seeing Microsoft-IIS on the newly opened 'cmd' window. To disable IIS, go to Control Panel, click on ' Turn Windows features On/Off'. There you can see 'Internet Information Services', deselect it and your computer will be asked to restart by the OS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now on restarting, run the wamp server, and on testing the port 80 again, you will see 'Apache' is running.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now type in 'http://127.0.0.1/' on your web browser and enjoy!! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31580750032349833-7617749663308582230?l=blogger-hari.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogger-hari/~4/ztmQsz2wXZw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/feeds/7617749663308582230/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31580750032349833&amp;postID=7617749663308582230" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/7617749663308582230?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/7617749663308582230?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogger-hari/~3/ztmQsz2wXZw/apachemicrosoft-iis-conflict.html" title="Apache/Microsoft-IIS conflict" /><author><name>hari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09071223145037472648</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/2009/06/apachemicrosoft-iis-conflict.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;A0cBRn49fip7ImA9WxJXFEU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31580750032349833.post-7876617820563941114</id><published>2009-06-05T10:52:00.004+05:30</published><updated>2009-06-09T00:54:17.066+05:30</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-09T00:54:17.066+05:30</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Wamp server" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Vista" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="DocumentRoot" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Apache" /><title>Installing Apache on Vista</title><content type="html">You will always like to test your website before it goes online. To do that, u need to install a web server in your system. Apache is a free web server which has the largest share in the web server market. Here you can find how to install Apache..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used Wamp server which includes Apache, PHP 5 and MySQL. It install phpMyAdmin and SQLiteManager by default.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First you need to download it from &lt;a href="http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Double click on the downloaded program to install it. Now, run the wamp server. It can be run in Online/Offline modes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offline mode means only you from your computer can access it. Online mode means everyone can access your server from anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the default directory of your website or 'Document Root' is created as " C:/wamp/www/" . To change it, click on the wamp server icon on the bottom right, select Apache, click on 'httpd.conf' . It is the configuration file for apache. You have to edit it at two lines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;change it to the directory u need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;directory&gt;&lt;directory&gt;C:/wamp/www&lt;directory&gt;/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;change that line also to your directory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now try restarting the wamp server. To see the webpages you have placed in your DocumentRoot, open firefox/IE or any browser, type in 'http:/127.0.0.1/'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should be seeing your 'index.html' file on the browser now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/2009/06/apachemicrosoft-iis-conflict.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click here if you still find Apache not running on your system&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/directory&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31580750032349833-7876617820563941114?l=blogger-hari.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogger-hari/~4/JzSc61qUPVo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/feeds/7876617820563941114/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31580750032349833&amp;postID=7876617820563941114" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/7876617820563941114?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/7876617820563941114?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogger-hari/~3/JzSc61qUPVo/installing-apache-on-vista.html" title="Installing Apache on Vista" /><author><name>hari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09071223145037472648</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/2009/06/installing-apache-on-vista.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;Ck8GRXg6fyp7ImA9WxJXEE8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31580750032349833.post-9010425244573642202</id><published>2009-06-03T14:33:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2009-06-03T14:50:24.617+05:30</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-03T14:50:24.617+05:30</app:edited><title>saving videos from youtube and similar sites..</title><content type="html">Many ways to do tht..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the simple way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use IDM ( Internet download manager ) if u have bought it or cracked it for ur use.. it will automatically ask whether to download or not.. but it got some problems with the latest version of Firefox...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If u r usin firefox, there is a plugin called ' &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006"&gt;Download helper&lt;/a&gt;

I decided to try it out on the recently installed Jaunty on ma laptop.. Installed Wine 1.1.20 and then installed FIFA 08..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;initially i found it unable to play it fullscreen... I tried to change the resolution of the game but in the game settings nothing like that could be found. Hmmm.. I did a bit of googling and finally got the solution..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first, I set the Windows version to VISTA.. Then, from the graphics tab, I unticked the " allow window manager to control the windows" and ticked the Virtual desktop option and set the resolution to 1680x1050 ( ma lap lcd's native resolution) .. Now I once again ran the game...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The game started once again within a small window but now inside the virtual desktop.. Now when I went to the game settings, I could edit the resolution.. Default resolution given was 640x480.. I edited it to 1680x1050.. The game now went fullscreen.. :D.. Menu selection etc. were very smooth..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I went to kickoff for a match between Arsenal and Liverpool.. The game loaded and started..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now.. the game is running at may be triple the speed it should be.. the players are running at crazy speed.. I couldnt fix it by editing the game speed setting to SLOW..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone knows how to fix the game speed, do tell me..

As usual, the broadband modem is 192.168.1.1 ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, wen i used fedora before, i was easily able to do 'ping 192.168.1.1' without any need for configuring the device..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wen i booted from the jaunty live cd, its network icon showed the network connectivity to the broadband router and i was able to connect to the internet easily..&lt;br /&gt;After installation, i was able to use net properly for 2-3 sessions..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, all of a sudden, wen i booted ubuntu the next time, the network manager is showing NO CONNECTION..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i used the 'nm-connection-editor' applet and found that it also had no WIRED CONNECTION.. then i edited it to create a new dhcp connection.. i disabled network and enabled it again and even then, the nm-icon showed NO VALID CONNECTION..&lt;br /&gt;this continued for many system restarts while Vista worked fine with net..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wen i booted the next time, i did  ' cat /etc/network/interfaces ' and the output was&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;auto lo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;iface lo inet loopback&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;iface dsl-provider inet ppp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;provider dsl-provider&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;auto eth0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;iface eth0 inet manual&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i should be getting ' iface eth0 inet dhcp' .. so, i edited that line to make it dhcp.. and again restarted.. once again it was not working..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now i tried another thing.. i took the nm-connection-manager applet and edited the wired connection and checked the box " available to all users " .. when i saved and closed the connection, the connection simply disappeared from the list of wired connection!!!!!!!!!!!... some kind of bug?????????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i tried the ubuntuforums.org and its of no use till now..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now i did something different..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I edited the 'Auto-eth0' connection which i created in 'nm-connection-manager' and i changed dhcp to manual.. i changed ma ip to 192.168.1.4.. netmast.. 255.255.255.0, gateway.. 192.168.1.1.. and alas.. i was able to ping 192.168.1.1 ..!!!!!!!!!!.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was then able to use ' sudo pon dsl-provider ' to get the net connection and i am typing from that manually configured BSNL dataone connection.. :D ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;earlier i edited ma /etc/resolv.conf to be 192.168.1.1&lt;br /&gt;but now after doing 'pon dsl-provider' , it is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nameserver 218.248.255.139&lt;br /&gt;nameserver 218.248.255.146&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wot is happening???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and even though internet is connected, the network manager icon shows NO VALID ACTIVE CONNECTION..!! .. :D..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;any idea??????????????????????&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31580750032349833-5543179341008482895?l=blogger-hari.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogger-hari/~4/5vOeDYYfaT0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/feeds/5543179341008482895/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31580750032349833&amp;postID=5543179341008482895" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/5543179341008482895?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/5543179341008482895?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogger-hari/~3/5vOeDYYfaT0/something-weird-is-happening-to-ma.html" title="BSNL dataone with manual ip!!

I am a BSNL( Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) Dataone Broadband user in the 'Home 250' plan .. its been about an year since I got ma connection.... Now read on....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 . BSNL took more thn 1 month to give me the net connection , after I applied... ( Modem  not                                                                                                                                                                  available)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 . The technician from BSNL who came to install the modem didnt have any TECHNICAL knowledge... I was using Linux... When he sat in front of ma system to configure the modem, he started searching &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;desperately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;for Internet Explorer...  !!!!!!!!! ......... He told me tht he wont be able to configure the modem if I dont have Internet Explorer installed.. he also asked me to install Windows!!!!!!!!!!........  GOD.....&lt;br /&gt;After tht I told him tht there is a software called 'Firefox' which will do a better job than IE..  hmm.. finally he got it configured .. and sped out of ma home..  :) ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.  3-4 months after I got Internet , the ADSL link LED which shows if the net connection was active started turning off at least 5-6 times a day....... I called ma exchange.. they asked me to call another number which was always busy.. then they gave me another number..  from tht number , I got another number ... the procedure continued.. and after 1 week, me got ma problem fixed.. everything worked fine...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  Step 3 gets repeated every 2-3 months since the first time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. BSNL accounts can be hacked into very easily... use an IP scanner , you will be able to find lots of people logged in through Dataone.. You can visit their router page and grab their userID and password.. More thn Easy... so you can easily use net from some other's connection...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. In April 2008 , ma exchange switched to the new system with port binding... No more Hacked Net Usage.......But ,I didnt get Internet continuously for 2 weeks due to that system up gradation in the exchange!!...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. In April last week , ma net connection became OK.. but after the system upgradation, I was unable to check ma net usage.. I called ma exchange to tell them this problem.. they gave me another number and so on... even after 2 weeks of calling BSNL officials, I wasnt able to find how I could see ma net usage.. One website told me tht for subscribers in the new system , the website was &lt;a href="http://bbservice.bsnl.in/"&gt;bbservice.bsnl.in  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But tht site was always down....&lt;br /&gt;At the end of May I got in touch with a BSNL officer who knows something.. He gave me my Portal ID and password to access the above mentioned website and he fixed the problem so tht I was able to see the net usage once more&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. When I checked ma system usage in April , I was shocked to see tht it has amounter to about 3.7 GB ( I got a download limit of 1 GB and every MB after tht costs 90 paise)... I called the officer mentioned in step 6.. He assured me tht I will get about 3.12 GB rebate.. The system upgradation has caused some system errors....... hmm....  I was relieved..... I have used only less thn 600MB tht month&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. In the BSNL bill got last week , it says tht I has to pay Rs.97 for extra usages in April!!!!!.... When I took the net connection , I did buy the modem.. but this bill asked me to pay Rent for Modem!!!... Today I called the Billing assistance service.. he gave me another number... finally after dialling 3 numbers, I got in touch with an officer who assured me tht he will check everything and then call me back..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now.. I am waiting for his call ................. and Oh GOD... the ADSL LED has started turning off....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      I thought I was the only victim... but last week , two of ma friends got bills of more thn Rs:10K&lt;br /&gt;.. BSNL wants them to pay for extra Net usage tht they havent used........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well.. Do I need more points to state tht 'BSNL SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' ????????????????????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31580750032349833-2393999169238822351?l=blogger-hari.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogger-hari/~4/G0y-9ExlpLs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/feeds/2393999169238822351/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31580750032349833&amp;postID=2393999169238822351" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/2393999169238822351?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/2393999169238822351?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogger-hari/~3/G0y-9ExlpLs/why-bsnl-sucks.html" title="Why BSNL Sucks......." /><author><name>hari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09071223145037472648</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/2008/08/why-bsnl-sucks.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUcHRXk-eyp7ImA9WxdVGU0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31580750032349833.post-8818922482186866820</id><published>2008-07-23T19:18:00.004+05:30</published><updated>2008-07-24T19:13:54.753+05:30</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-07-24T19:13:54.753+05:30</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Quickpath" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Hypertransport" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="AMD" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Intel" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CSI" /><title>AMD vs Intel... war moves to the next level..</title><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Intel and AMD.. the two main protagonists in the competitive x86 market... We all have been excited by the competition between these two.. new processors.. architectures.. latest technologies.. blah blah blah..  A few years back, AMD announced the introduction of Hypertransport technology... so wat is Hypertransport?? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;For tht lets check out the current scenario....We know tht a bus called Front Side Bus is used to connect the Processor with the memory controller(Northbridge).. this FSB design has several bottlenecks.. One is that the data fetch from memory becomes a high latency operation.. i.e u need more time for memory transactions.. and since the processors especially the ones in server market are in requirements of more and more bandwidths and speeds , some improvement has to be made...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; AMD came up with this techology.. Hypertransport which is a low latency point 2 point interconnect.. it offers very high data transfer rates... It also allows the use of integrated memory controllers... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Intel , till now hasnt parted with FSB even though Hypertransport is already is in the market..FSB is an aging technology..  the Xeon and Xeon MP chipsets illustrate the point quite well – as both use two separate front-side bus segments in order to provide enough bandwidth to feed all the processors...Similarly, Intel designed all of their MPUs with relatively large caches to reduce the pressure on the front-side bus and memory systems, exemplified by the cases of the Xeon MP and Itanium 2, sporting 16MB and 24MB of L3 cache respectively... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Hmm... so far FSB remained with Intel motherboards.. but now Intel has put forward a new techology to counter the Hypertransport technology.. its CSI(Common System Interface) or Quickpath.. its also a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;low latency point 2 point interconnect... and it has got many other advantages also.. (too much technical.. if u want them, tell me , i will explain CSI in detail in another post)..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;So Intel chips with already large amounts of cache is replacing its FSB with CSI and now AMD will be increasing their cache content... Hmm.. so the war is moving to the next level... CSI will be released with the 'Nehalem', an enhanced derivative of Core architecture.. and 'Tukwila' an Itanium processor..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;So.. with the installment of CSI a.k.a Quickpath, will Intel be able to overpower AMD's Hypertransport?????? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Lets wait n see....... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31580750032349833-8818922482186866820?l=blogger-hari.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogger-hari/~4/RY6-khgiCO8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/feeds/8818922482186866820/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31580750032349833&amp;postID=8818922482186866820" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/8818922482186866820?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/8818922482186866820?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogger-hari/~3/RY6-khgiCO8/amd-vs-intel-war-moves-to-next-level.html" title="AMD vs Intel... war moves to the next level.." /><author><name>hari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09071223145037472648</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/2008/07/amd-vs-intel-war-moves-to-next-level.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEABQXo9fCp7ImA9WxdVFU4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31580750032349833.post-1297495621939232516</id><published>2008-07-18T22:46:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2008-07-20T11:15:50.464+05:30</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-07-20T11:15:50.464+05:30</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Project" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="GSM" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="SMS" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Microcontroller" /><title>Mini Project - Secu Lock..</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;6th Sem.. time for mini project..

Shreds will be conducting 2 tests.. including aptitude and C.. after tht they will select some 150 students.. then there will be a test by Siemens... for those who got thru tht test, there will be Tech as well as HR interview nxt day.. at Avenue Regency....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmm... actually I registered quite late... I didnt get the registration mail.. anyway I decided to go there and plea.. The test was at UC college,Aluva.. it was scheduled 2 be at 8 am.. At tht time, I was staying with 4 of ma frnds in a rented room...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morning 7 am.. I woke up... ohhhhhhh... no water....... I ran to another of ma frnd's place.. had shower.. and it was 7:40 .. god.. only 20 minutes to go.. I got dressed and got all stuff prepared.. and it was 7:50..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me with Aravind sped off to UC college... i dont remember the speed.. but I had never gone at tht speed b4 or after tht.. ah.. we reached there at 8:05.. thnk god... test z abt 2 begin..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But me wasnt allowed 2 go in... me havent got the admission card na???  i requested them......   and they asked me to wait till the last batch's test begins.. oh.........  waiting..... all ma frnds were having the test and me?? outside waiting .... that too till 12 .... ooooooooooh......... boring...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And.. at 12.. someone ask me 2 get in and write the xam... oh.. i was relieved.. me got in , took the exam with the last batch... and it was an ok-ok xam....&lt;br /&gt;and now.. waiting for results 2 come...   I was chatting with ma frnds when the results of first round was announced..........&lt;br /&gt;Hurray.. ma name was there... we were asked to get in for the second round.. and then.. the second test began.. after the test, while we were still in the xam hall, one guy frm the organizing committee came forward and started announcing the names of those who haven't got in...&lt;br /&gt;really.. I was tensed... and then the list was over.. me in!!!!!!!!!!!!...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then came the SiSL people.. they started their presentation... buddies.. read abt Siemens.. they r into all frontiers of science and technology... i was amazed by it.. and then the third and final test began...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25 each frm C++ and Aptitude... C++..... god.. I donno anything abt it..but I could answer 7-8 questions properly from it.. and then I went for wild guesses for 4 more C++ questions... so 12 from C++... there was negative marking...... so didnt go for more guesses...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The aptitude portion.. it was more thn easy.. 24 out of 25 correct... sure... oh.. I got out of xam hall and woth aravind , kurien and basil , went back 2 our room.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the results were supposed 2 be published in net b4 9 pm.. But it came only at 11 pm.... And??? ma name was there!!!!!!!!!! selected 4 interview.... me n Sadashiv on the same panel... Mine at noon and his at 9am...Basil was also selected...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasnt sure abt what I should study.... confused.. Siemens people ask u abt every subject.. So after Sadashiv's interview, I called him.. He told me to concentrate more on DSP.. but there was no more time left.. So I went to 'Avenue Regency' with Basil...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inteview time... Ma interviewer was frndly... he went thru ma resume.. asked abt me.. me started talking.. I was a bit tensed b4 I entered the Interview room... but now everything was OK.. perfect.. I was in good mood.. So I started telling him abt me.. ma home.. school.. hobbies.. I explained 2 him abt ma Mini project.. oh.. and waited 4 nxt question...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He started asking  DSP.. Radix 2 DIT FFT.. I derived it.. he asked me its advantage.. I told him.. and he was happy.. He asked me to write a C program 4 implementing FFT algorithm... Since it was an assignment given 2 us by Vinu Sir, It wasnt a big deal... and then he turned 2 C... and then 2 Microprocessor.. 8085 programming... and many others.. and after 40 minutes.. it was over.. Well, I was confident.. it went fine...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I waited.. and then I was called for HR.. wow.. Ma HR interview also went good.. only 5 minutes..&lt;br /&gt;and after tht, he asked me to come at 5 pm...&lt;br /&gt;Since I had nthing else 2 do and since it was already 3:30, I decided 2 wait... At 5pm, we all went in.. One SiSl guy started calling out names of those who have got in... Hurray... me also in the list..&lt;br /&gt;They took 22 from Kerala... out of tht , 9 was from our college... 3 from our class... Me, Basil and Sadashiv....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and then... Party time.....................................:)...........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31580750032349833-4410020308207397132?l=blogger-hari.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogger-hari/~4/d6yfq3L6Uno" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/feeds/4410020308207397132/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31580750032349833&amp;postID=4410020308207397132" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/4410020308207397132?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/4410020308207397132?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogger-hari/~3/d6yfq3L6Uno/me-for-siemens-sisl-at-shreds.html" title="Me for Siemens (SiSL).. at Shreds.." /><author><name>hari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09071223145037472648</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/2008/07/me-for-siemens-sisl-at-shreds.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEQDSHY8fSp7ImA9WxdVFU4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31580750032349833.post-3586470923906529814</id><published>2008-07-08T11:12:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2008-07-20T11:09:39.875+05:30</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-07-20T11:09:39.875+05:30</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Kaprassery" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Model Technical" /><title>The Sodium effect...</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It was a normal day.. back at school.. we all in +2... me in chemistry lab for ma project... i was thinking abt the way sodium will explode in water... me didnt wait.. there wos Vineeth KC,Arun S Nair,Akhil and some else waitin for tryin out smething different.. :)..  we took lumps of sodium and got out.. no one was there.. no teacher.. all in the staff room.. it wos interval time.. we felt relieved.. and decided to try out a sample.. we went to the back of our school.. there is a long stretch of fields, at tht time filled with water behind the main building.. we walked 4 some distance... threw one lump into the water...

I tried to play "Here without you"(3 doors down) on kaffeine.. hey.. the audio is stuttering.. oh.. I double checked if there was any other package needed, but found tht all needed plugins are installed.. god.. wat 2 do?? I decided to try ma luck with VLC.. but the results were poor compared to Kaffeine...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Now I began googling.. I became happy coz I was not the only one who had the same problems.. I followed the remedies provided in one or two sites, but nothing went better.. I tried the 'Fedora project' website but its server was down...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Ok.. now I decided to install Mplayer and SMplayer.. hey..

Ghajini is copied and indianized from 'Memento'..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Me saw 'Big B'(malayalam) starring mammotty and appreciated it coz of the stylish nature of the film.. but when I saw 'Four Brothers' , I came to know that Big B is another remake..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Who in bollywood is the king of remakes??? I will say Priyadarshan... remaking hit malayalam films and presenting it in the bollywood style, he has had a big success ..  When 'Vettam' (Malayalam, remake of '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia,Times;"&gt;Pyaar To Hona Hi Thaa')&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; starring Dileep was released, we all thought that he has started the reverse process of remaking Hindi films into Malayalam Films.. but when I saw 'French Kiss'.. god.. I came to know that even '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia,Times;"&gt;Pyaar To Hona Hi Thaa' is a remake of that English movie...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia,Times;"&gt;And now.. do you know that Priyadarshan is busy with the Hindi remake of the Dileep hit 'Ishtam' ??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia,Times;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Have u people seen 'Vismayathumpathu' ??? It stars Mohanlal and was a flop (I think so).. Now go watch ' Just Like heaven' and tell me .... Both got the same story line.. yup. they are derived from the same novel.. only difference is that the Mallu version is 'gud 4 nothing'..  hey also there is a Hindi remake of this Hollywood movie.. its titled 'I see you' ..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;now... do you know that 'Awai Shanmukhi' or 'Chachi 420' is a remake of the hollywood film ' Mrs.Doubtfire' ??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;that the super hit Malayalam film 'Yodha ' is almost the remake of 'The Golden Child' ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;that the super flop, gud 4 nothing Hindi film 'Qayamat:City under threat' is a remake of  the super action  Hollywood movie ' The Rock' starring Nicholas cage and Sean Connery...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The list is tooooooooooo long....  Now what I remember is a comedy scene in a Mallu fim in which 'Jagathy Sreekumar' is seen with a collection of Hit English movies, watching them one by one... for what???? you know now... for nothing else.. for remaking... copying... blah blah....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Think.. is it soo difficult to come up with a story?? we see lots of stories .. stories of people around us.. weird than that in films.. even then these people r going for remakes.. and tht also for too much INFERIOR versions... too bad...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;ha..  now you want to hear about copying English Music into Indian films??? well.. next time.. I will be back with it...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31580750032349833-2435873102302830484?l=blogger-hari.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogger-hari/~4/gxqVg84R4Ko" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blogger-hari.blogspot.com/feeds/2435873102302830484/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31580750032349833&amp;postID=2435873102302830484" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/2435873102302830484?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31580750032349833/posts/default/2435873102302830484?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogger-hari/~3/gxqVg84R4Ko/remakes-remakes.html" title="Remakes..
