Anna hazare to Hunger stike again - A beginning

2011-06-07T21:54:00.001+05:30

Govt’s msg, “If u raise ur voice against corruption, we will crush u” Protest with Anna Hazare. Organize group fasts n prayers. 8 June 9 am. Pl fwd2all

I got this text message from India against Corruption movement today evening. After that only I came to know that Anna is going to fast again on June 8^th near Raj Bhavan, New Delhi. I was literally surprised first as soon as seeing this message. The reason is, I trusted my Indian Government. Yes, from heart I trusted my country’s government and I really hoped that they will take steps against corruption after Anna Hazare’s first hunger strike stint and Baba Ramdev’s fasting.

After the midnight crackdown of Ramdev’s fast Anna hazare had raised his concerns towards Indian Democracy and the government’s inhuman behavior. Anna also added that he and other members of Lokpal drafting panel will boycott June 6 meeting with government. He also warned the government that if it does not take a lesson, a bigger agitation will be launched.

"What the government has done is a blot on democracy. There was no need for the Government to supress this movement and attack those protesting at midnight. It was not right to lathicharge the people at midnight Small children and women were brutally assaulted. The entire country should stand up as one and protest against this brutal and inhuman action," said Hazare.

So, the result is Anna Hazare is going to launch his hunger strike battle against corruption tomorrow (June 8) at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. This time much more people are expected to support Anna Hazare than the number of people supported for his previous hunger strike for the cause. I hope at least this time a solution will be born for drafting the Lokpal Bill. After all this is every ordinary Indian’s dream.

Argentina Vs Uruguay - Messi to Play in Kolkata

2011-06-07T19:52:00.000+05:30

It is a great news for football-crazy fans kolkatta as well all the indian football fans as Argentine superstar Lionel Messi and his teammates are playing a FIFA official international friendly match against Venezuela at Salt Lake's Yuba Bharati Krirangan on September 2.

After several rounds of rumour about this match, the official confirmation came on Monday when Celebrity Management Group along with the state government, All India Football Federation and Indian Football Association announced this surprise at a press conference.

"The Argentina Football Association had indeed signed a contract to bring in the full-strength squad including Messi and Carlos Tevez among others. So the contract guarantees their participation," said Bhaswar Goswami of CMG. The city-based sports management firm that had earlier brought football legend Diego Maradona in 2008 would also organise another international friendly match between Argentina and Nigeria in Dhaka on September 6.

"We were given the match in condition that we have to buy another. We did not think twice and bought both the matches just to make Messi play in Kolkata," Goswami said. The Barcelona star forward and winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or award was recently instrumental in his club's Champions League win.

Briefing about the itinerary, Goswami said Messi and Co. would stay here for four days, beginning August 30. "We are also planning several other events which will be announced later. We are thinking of a minimum ticket price of Rs 1000 (approx $20), a nominal price comparing to the ticket prices in other international friendlies."

"Those who could not afford to make the match, we would give them another chance for both the teams practice sessions the tickets of which would be at a cheaper price," Goswami added. West Bengal sports minister Madan Mitra said he is getting full support from the chief minister to clean up the 'mess' in the stadium where Messi is going to play.

"The stadium is completely in a mess. The garbage there has been piled up for 34 years. We are leaving no stone unturned to make the stadium international match-worthy," he said.

"It's difficult to give YBK a complete facelift in such a short period. Our list of priorities includes better toilets, changing rooms and passage ways. We will also bring a generator from a Chennai firm to avoid the frequent blackouts in the stadium," Mitra said.

All India Football Federation vice-president Subrata Dutta said that the match would be a turning point in India's football history. "This would inspire others to organise more such matches. It's going to be a historical day," Dutta said.

In the same vein, IFA secretary Utpal Ganguli said, "I don't think it would improve our standard of the game but surely it would popularise the sport. I am sure it would help more and more people turning away from EPL and other leagues (IPL)". The match is scheduled to begin from 7pm.

Ramdev Baba’s Hunger Strike was cracked down by Police at Midnight

2011-06-05T14:06:00.000+05:30

He would not have thought this would be coming for him. He and his followers would have thought that the government will finally say a big YES for the points which Ramdev Baba had listed before the hunger strike. This belief was shattered at Sunday 06-05-11 midnight by a police force that went for a raid to the Ramlila ground where Ramdev Baba and his followers were holding hunger strike.

Adding to the surprise, police did not use words to remove baba from the place. Instead they used lathis and tear gas to remove the crowd from the Ramlila ground. To my knowledge these rude methods will be used only when there are possibilities of violence by angry mob. In the case of Baba he was not doing anything violently. He projected a list of action items in front of the government and he started his hunger strike to make the government implement those action items. Then why the police reacted in such a way and treated baba and others like a violent anti-social group?

I am reframing the above bolded sentence, He projected a list of action items in front of the government and he started his hunger strike to blackmail and make the government implement those action items.

Just imagine, if the government accepts for the all the action items which baba had projected. Will this stop at that point? Definitely the answer will be a big NO. The reason is very simple; people will start to think that hunger strike is a weapon that the government fears off. When this thought comes to people then not only these Babas, even a common man will start to use this weapon and will try to frighten the government to get their problems solved.

Let us see another perspective of this problem. Yesterday government had agreed to declare black money held by every Indian as national wealth. Is this possible? A basic question arises inside my head. My grey matter which is frequently referred as brain tells NO as the answer for that question. It does not stop by juts telling no, it also gives valid points to support that answer. The supporting points are:

1. Black Money is something that is hidden from the accounts that we submit to government. In this case how government can find out that black money first?
2. On a positive note, this is not an ordinary government. This is the government that should worry about more than 120 crore people. So, it will definitely have the ability and enough force to identify all the black money hidden inside and outside India. In this case, why hadn’t they done that before somebody like baba Ramdev becomes ready to put their life in front of this cause in the name of hunger strike?
3. Let us again trust the efficiency of our Indian government and shall believe that they will pass this act of declaring all the black money as India’s wealth. Will that act serve its real purpose or will be an eye wash for hunger strikes? This question arises because as you all know most politicians will be involved in the black money stuffs. A rule maker could become a rule breaker here.

These were a few questions that dropped out of my grey matter with respect to this Baba fasting. Anyways, in a democratic country the incidents that took place to baba should not be happening.

Last question from my grey matter with respect to this incident.

When somebody is protesting against you, will you do anything against them publicly?

Surely nobody will do that. The reason is, those actions which we take against the protestor publicly will make them strong and add value to their cause.

Do you think an all India political party Congress would not have known these basics that too in a situation when BJP started to support Ramdev Baba?

Final Verdict of Annie Le Case issued on June 3 - Clark III gets 44 years Prison Life

2011-06-04T11:02:00.001+05:30

The murder of Annie Le occurred September 8, 2009, on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Annie Marie Le a 24-year-old American doctoral student at the Yale School of Medicine's Department of Pharmacology, was found missing from September 8. She was last seen before entering the research lab September 8. She was captured by the surveillance camera before entering his work area.

To add more to the sorrow, September 13 was the date that was fixed for her marriage but her dead body was also found on the same date inside the building. The Yale Daily News reported that professor and Cold War historian John Lewis Gaddis called September 14 the "saddest day to open class" since the day after September 11, 2001. News of the tragedy went worldwide, and expressions of sympathy were common, culminating in memorials held in New York and California, and the live broadcast of Annie Le's funeral on the internet. The Yale community also publicly mourned Le's death. On September 17, police arrested a suspect, Raymond J. Clark, III, a Yale lab technician who worked in the building. But, Clark was released after collecting DNA sample from him.

With the DNA matching Clark was taken under the police custody and he was held at the MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield, Connecticut, a maximum security prison, on $3 million bail. Initially Clark pleaded against guilty on March 17, 2011. He was produced to lie detector test and Clark failed in the test.

Clark was now sentence to 44 years of imprisonment after proven as guilty. The verdict was issued on June 3 2011. The Connecticut medical examiner's autopsy found that Le's death was due to "traumatic asphyxia due to neck compression".

May her Soul Rest in Peace.

Iphone Development

2011-06-04T09:01:00.000+05:30

The same Object C is the language used across development for all versions of iPhone, iPad and iPod.

Apps can be developed even for the latest iPhone4 and iPad 2 also using the same environment and Object C language. The interesting thing to note here is with every new release of sdk and tools from Apple, more additional features and components are supported and added.

Apple has recently released the xcode4 version which has many interesting and developer friendly features which eases much of the task of the developer.

While creating any new project using this xcode, there is an option of specifying whether the target environment is for iPhone, iPad or both. Accordingly, the UI components can be created and added. An important thing to be taken care of while developing apps for iPad is to present a more attractive UI with bigger screens since the screen size of the iPad is bigger when compared to the iPhone.

Also, much of the UI components can be added using Interface Builder which has many pre- defined UI components starting from text field, labels, Image Views to add images, buttons, table views and extending up to a pre defined Map Kit. All these components can be easily integrated and used in our apps with the required functionality.

If we could see in many or most of the apps in iPhone, a very attractive UI is available. With such user friendly User interfaces and many kinds of Touch functionality provided by Apple, I am sure the Dev Environment will be surely be exciting and interesting.

In the next edition, we could drill down and see more details on getting started with the Dev environment and things required for us to see our own Apps in Apple App Store

IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, January 20, 2009]

Winning laurels with his tracks for 'Vaaranam Aayiram', Suriya is back to strike gold with his forthcoming film 'Ayan'. K.V. Anand who won laurels for his debut directorial 'Kana Kandein' is back wielding the megaphone for this film produced by AVM Productions. A commercial entertainer, the auteur seems to have mixed exceptional plotlines. And here comes the most grandiloquent pair of Harris Jayaraj and Suriya who worked magic with 'Kaakha Kaakha', 'Ghajini' and the recent 'Vaaranam Aayiram'.

The Musical Album of 'Ayan' has 5 melodies belonging to various genres…

1. Pala

Singer: Hariharan

Lyricist: Vairamuthu

Remember the most fantastic song of 2008! Yeah, it's none other than 'Nenjukkul Paidhidum' with Hariharan rendering voice for it. Over here, he croons for the same actor but with a different style. Unlike the melodious one, this track is a grand fast moving peppy number that carries an electrifying message for youngsters.

2. Nenje Nenje

Singer: Malathi, Harish Raghavendra

Lyricist: Vairamuthu

This one is a romantic number with poignant lyrics centering on a young lad and his missy looking out for pure love. Harris Jayaraj has picked up apt singers in Malathi and Harish Raghavendra and his choice doesn't disappoint you. Unforeseen efforts from Malathi are revealing with her intonations and ditto to Harish Raghavendra who is up with the same show as in 'Azhagiya Theeye' of Minnale.

3. Honey Honey

Singer: Devan, Sayonara Philip

Lyricist: Vairamuthu

'Sensuous', 'Sultry' (you can use the best of words for this song) … brimming with such feel, Harris tunes a melody with the beats on Congo drums running all through the rendering. Intonation of Sayonara Philip steals the show while Devan's strides creates a penchant feel amongst the listeners.

4. Vizhi Moodi

Singer: Karthik

Lyricist: Vairamuthu

'Oru Maalai'- A splendid song that never fades from our memories had Harris and Karthik on the tracks. And again, we've another melody churned by this duo and Vairamuthu's lyrics of a lad's intrinsic feel when in love captivates. This one is sure to rock as a chartbuster. Marvelously orchestrated beats with female vocalism in preludes offers complete enhancement.

5. Oyayiye Aayiye

Singer: Haricharan, Benny Dayal and Chinmayee

Lyrics: Vairamuthu

'Perky lines and peppy tune' has a big sensation for young hearts. Haricharan, Benny Dayal and Chinmayee deliver with elegance on their quotients. KV Anand's innovative motif and Prabhu's cinematography are sure to turn the song a lot more fantastic on screen.

On the whole, 'Ayan' has a whole lot of mix in spellbinding melodies and mind-boggling peppy numbers. Undoubtedly, Harris is there over the top with the prodigious score for his ducky actor Surya.
