Inception - Movie review - (Spicemeter 10/10)

2010-07-18T00:37:00.000-07:00

After Darknight, Nolan comes with even bigger and better film which is
sure to blow up your mind. In Memento, he has presented a simply
storyline with a complex screenplay to give audience a new experience.
Where as in Inception, The story is a kind of complex which has been
delivered to audience with a clear screenplay. Go easy, I won't give
you a shred of information from the story.

From the moment film starts, I was in awe about Nolan how he gets these
ideas and till the end we are all kept intrigued. This movie got a good
boisterous reception when it started and ended with a 3 minute standing
ovation from Chennai audience. The best part was that the movie
screened with subtitle at Satyam,Chennai, which most of us would
welcome for all movies releasing in future.

This movie has got a bunch of good performers with Di Caprio at the
helm. Music by Hans Zimmer makes this experience even better.
Photography and CG are perfect. So everything is good about this movie.
You won't see any screenplay which explains such complex story in such
a simple way. Go and enjoy Nolan's new mind-bending movie, literally.

Singam - Movie review - (Spicemeter - 6.5 / 10)

2010-05-30T04:17:00.000-07:00

I got Rs.10 ticket through online booking for this movie at Devi Cineplex and watched it from first row with my friend. Many would boast about having watched movies first day, first show. But I watched for the first time in Chennai from first row. Though I have watched many Hollywood movies for Rs.5 at VSP theater(which had both DTS and Dolby and a dedicated fan for first row) in Erode.

Okay, lets go to the movie review. As this is a movie by director Hari, I went expecting a masala entertainer and he delivers just that. Even he has managed to achieve more than my expectation because of his tight screenplay. This could easily be his second best movie after Saamy.

After Vikram, Suriya is the only hero who delivers the punch lines effectively in Hari's films. Suriya carries himself as a mass hero and succeeds in his attempt quite brilliantly. Sure enough this movie will be enjoyed by all his fans and he is all set to increase his fan base even bigger.

This movie has lots of fights, few unnecessary. Music is okay. Vivek tries to bounce back to his form, but his irritating background soundtrack is intolerable. Anushka fills the glamour quotient. Prakashraj does a decent job here. Overall, this is an enjoyable movie even if you watch it from first row.

Please let me know your thoughts about this movie through your comments.

Ok, this tag is all about, FMORT - Five Minutes Of Random Thoughts ..

Steps to follow:

Get an alarm/stop watch, piece of paper, pen or just open up a new post in which you can type in.. Set the alarm to ring 5 minutes 10 secs later. Take deep breath for 10 secs. Now, set your mind free. Scribble whatever comes to your mind for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, tweak the scribbles into meaningful sentences. Post it to your blog. The title should be, "My FMORT". Dont expand FMORT in the title as the purpose is to popularize FMORT. The first line should read, "I am tagged by XYZ", where XYZ should be the name of the blog who asked you to tag and link XYZ to the post. Then ask a fellow blogger to do the same and link to your post. Now sit back and relax.

You would be amazed at the speed with which FMORT spreads. And you will be one link of the long chain on Internet

A Question about your dream - II

2007-10-20T23:05:00.000-07:00

Hi Friends,
Today, I came up with another interesting question about the dream. The question is..."whether your dream is black&white or colourful?"
Please think before you answer...

Panic room

2007-10-15T01:12:00.000-07:00

Last saturday at 4 o'clock we went out to play cricket after two weeks of gap. We are living in two single bedroom flats i.e in 2nd and 3rd floor. One of our friend forgot to lock the door of 3rd floor. We played good cricket there upto 6:30.... While returning to home, a huge shock awaited us...Somebody walked into our room, nicely selected a camera mobile and rejected a nokia 1600 mobile...Theives also have choices but not a beggar...also picked a brand new philips mp3/video player worth 4500 bugs...we didn't even have a small piece of clue there....either he could have came up through the stairs or walked down from the terrace door which is also kept open....On sunday, we went to play after ensuring all the doors were locked....

but on Monday, when I returned home at 10:30 pm.....My friends told me that again he/they burglared our room. This time as we clevarly :P locked our rooms, he can't get into our rooms but upto the stairs. We kept our shoes stand on stairs. This time also he had enough time and so he nicely picked one shoe and one sandal of each pair, but he took my pair of shoes...dont know why...We are confused...why he took one out of a pair...

He might be our psycho neighbour or our house owner or neighbourhood children or even cable tv operator...how can we find him?? Out of surprise my friend found one of my pair of shoes on the terrace of a house next to ours. So I just wanted to look at the other side from the terrace and my goodness, the other one sitting on a grilled stair of the opposite house. So we climbed up the wall and had a look around our house 360 degrees and found each one thrown in each direction...two at the park opposite to our house and one on a neighbour's terrace......

There might be children behind this. But they dont have the strength to throw them such distance. Even that theif might be planning to divert us or even it might be the return of the monkey man to delhi....god only knows......

Im a disco dancer

2007-10-05T07:59:00.000-07:00

Few months before, we went for a party to a restobar, thanks to the client visit. The thing is that I wont drink or smoke. So what I did there? Simply sat there, drinking pegs and pegs of pepsi. I didn't even dance. I dont know why...something stopped me from inside. Maybe due to the fact that they all are my new colleagues or due to my first bar visit or even due to those hindi item numbers...and now its the time for flashback....

Once when I was 7, I danced on the stage for the song 'Nooruvarusham intha mappillayum' song from our superstar movie...I dont know much steps at that age, So I managed to dance with his hair flicking style. I think I have repeated it for almost 25 times. But I got claps for every time.

After a long gap, when I was studying my 6th std, we were trained for the song 'Thayinmanikkodi thayinmanikkodi' song from Jaihind for the Independence day special events. As it was a big hit we carried over that same song for three years. Third time was on a moving stage i.e on a tractor and thus we have spread the importance of indepence to all laypeople.

Again in my 7th std, I had to dance for our annual day celebrations. For that our teachers selected a song which happens to be 'mariyamma mariyamma' from the movie karakattakaran. For this song I had to wear dothi like farmers. As nobody knew how to tie it firmly and when Im dancing with full flow that came off. But I didnt cared about that and I wondered why whole audience laughing for a devotional song.

After that I picked some steps from prabhudeva and I almost danced before every member of my family. I dont know when my dancing started to fade. I didnt dance from then. Even in my college hostel day function, whole college is dancing for the tunes, but I sat with few friends who dont know dancing. Something stopping me from inside...I have to find it....

Five instances where you uncontrollably controlled yourself

2007-09-26T05:27:00.000-07:00

Honey Bee has tagged me with this new title....
But I remember only three of such instances, So here we go...

Instance 1:
Im not clear whether I was studying LKG or UKG...they were the days when I hated to go school. So one fine afternoon, Mom bought us(for me and my bro) lunch and after finishing it, I refused to return to the classroom and so she came along with me up to the class and dropped me there in the hands of a teacher. I sat silently for a minute and turned back to see her whether she gone...When I saw her moving towards the gate, my eyes sparkled and fortunately that teacher was dealing with another baby. There were big tables put across the way as they do while stopping road rokos. I ran and flied through the gap in the table like a superman and ran towards her. As I move closer and closer, my joy increased double the time...when I reached her, I was one of the happiest person in that age group. But she simply turned me back to the class and even now I have grudge over my mom for that incident.... :(

Instance 2:
when I was studying 5th std, we used to play cricket in our backyard. The ball fell into the neighbouring haunted house. I started to jump over the wall, but unfortunately I fell down and got injured in my chin. It started bleeding and I started crying. I had a friend who was studying 12th. He said - 'Dont cry...only girls will cry...boys should not cry for this silly...boys should be brave'. Everyone looking at me. Its paining, but I can't cry because I'm a boy. I dumped everything just to prove them that I'm a boy.

Instance 3:
During my final year of engineering, I was the secretary of electrical engineers' association. So we organised a national level technical symposium. As a secretary, I had to give the vote of thanks. I have never been on stage before for a speech. So obviously fear swallowed me and my legs started trembling. In a hurry I forgot to thank our principal and when I thanked our HOD, there was a huge round of claps and Im cursing them to let me finish first. Atlast I finished my speech successfully.

Campus Interview

2007-09-17T08:35:00.001-07:00

We knew that IT companies would come to our campus on next day of 6th semester exams(2005). So we started our preparations a year before. I always had a ploblem of fear and it gears up when I have to speak in english. So I went to Speak easy course in which we practised to speak in front of ten to fifteen friends and tats how our preparations went. We are five friends who helped each other. We used to conduct mock interview amongst ourselves in hostel. I have humiliated my friends as an interviewer to clean my desk. One week before, we had to prepare for both the semester exams as well as for the interview. There is one important question in the interview - 'Tell me about yourself' - We worked hard to find ourselves and came up with imaginary things like fast learner, optimist...I had to memorise 100 words for telling about myself and I have a bad memory.

CTS came to our campus, very next day of our last exam. I was cool even before the interview and advised some of my friends to feel relaxed. But when I entered into the interview room, it started shivering. We have practised lot of times the process...Knock the door - ask for the seat - wish the interviewer and handshake ( without shiver)...but everything shattered. I enetered the room, sat without asking for it and then he wished me first. From there everything went wrong. I was thinking that I have forgot to ask for the seat and at that time he asked that very important question - 'Tell me about yourself'. As I have bad memory, i stuck with the first line...He said okay..okay...and the next question is 'what is kirchoff's voltage law' - very very basic of electrical engineering and I cant answer that. I had 80 percent, whats the use of it when I cant answer when needed. The next question is 'what are the subjects you have studied last semester' - I didn't remember more than one...At this time, I started thinking 'Is there any way to rewind everything and to start afresh'...I went to hostel and fell asleep and when the results were anounced at 1:00 AM, I know that I wont be selected, So I didnt cared about it and continued my sleep.

The next day HCL came. As CTS selected more than 80 students and only few students are eligible for HCL, our hostel looked more or less empty. I hated my written script of tell me about yourself and so I decided to speak by own, whatever it comes to my memory. This time, the interviewer didn't know anything in my field of interest and I didn't anything which he knew...bad luck for me. So he gave me a puzzle which goes like this ...two trains in the same track at 10Kms from each other, train A comes in 12kmph and B comes in 10kmph and a fly with 20kmph speed flies between these two trains to and fro. How much times it flies between those two trains before being crashed...huuu...I simply sat there, not even tried to solve it and cursing the man who invented this puzzle...again I know I would be rejected...but this one has increased my confidence of speaking and making my brain active...

After one day interval, here came Caritor. I have qualified to interview through the written test for previous two companies but failed in this one. I thought myself thats a great improvement. I got angry When I heard their method of evaluation of written test. There were two coloumns in answer sheet, in which we need to answer 35 questions in 1st coloumn and 15 questions in 2nd coloumn. They evaluated only those who answered atleast 15 in 1st and 5 in 2nd. I have attended 30 in 1st and only 2 in 2nd...I was dejected but came up with a belief...I already told that we were 5 friends...out of which 3 were got placement in above three companies one by one...the other friend was infected by chicken pox and so he left to home. So its my time to continue this.

Again after one day interval, Xansa came to our campus. Now there were only 30 students in the hostel. I felt lonely in hostel in my four years. I weared the same lucky shirt which those 3 friends weared and got placed. After introducing myself successfully I got a 'big bun' from the interviewer...'HE:Whats the language you like most?' - ME:English...HE:Sorry I asked about programming language...'. I felt hot steam rushing out of my ears. After samalichification I got into second round of technical interview. In first round, it was about 'How Ironbox works' and in second,'How refrigerator works'. He asked me whether I studied about refrigerator and I said no and it was in mechanical students curriculam. But he asked me to explain it with my experiance of using it. Thanks to the old refrigerator we had, which used to broke down regularly and I was there when some apprentice boys repairing that one. I explained him the whole story technically...

Atlast they have selected me and when they read my name in the list, most of my hairs in forearm stood up to salute me...
rest of the things are history.... :D

New Year Eve

2007-09-07T05:34:00.000-07:00

As our college is a govt college in Erode, about 95% of the students are hostelers. So its always a good experience living in hostel. But for me one of the most unforgettable moments in hostel life is new year eve. Mostly new year comes in mid of the week and in final year, it wasn't a govt holiday. So all the students were there and no one think about going to home.

At 8 'o clock, everybody enter into the mess for the dinner and at 9 'o clock, our ASO (Assistant security officer) will come to all the four gents hostels to give warnings and locks the gate to prevent us from going out for hot drinks and also to save us from highway patrols. ASO considers himself as AC Anbuchelvan, but we call him as HONESTRAJ (Vijayakanth). So everybody packed into their respective hostels. Every one busy with their work watching movies and video songs in their system and playing cards, smoking...etc.

When it reaches 11, it slowly starts from one person to one room to one wing to one floor and to whole hostel. Don't know from where such enthu comes from...Most ppl put off their shirts and run all over the hostel. It attains peak when we switch off the main power supply for the whole hostel which is inside the gate. The security ppl blink for a second, but they can't do anything other than that...

Everybody splashes water over each other...lots of buckets of water wasted, but for new year only na...whole hostel is flooded by water and ppl slip and get wounded while chasing others....All are wet....ppl break the legs of the iron tables and bang on them as drums to produce noise...mostly ppl makes noises with whatever they find inside hostel...never cared about anything...As our college is on top of the hills, the sound echoes all over the place...Then comes mild keech keech sounds from ladies hostel as a response...Some ppl ignites fire with the waste papers and throws it from the top....

In my second year, ASO entered into hostel along with few security ppl to catch students whoever thay can...but as everybody is wet, all are escaped from their fists and within a minute everybody pretends to be sleeping in their room with doors locked. ASO knocks the door and asks for the culprit. As you know nobody will tell anything about this and tell him that they were in deep sleep. ASO goes empty handed...

In final year, it was more rocking as final year students are uncontrollable. This time also they locked the gate and everything happened to be the same. But when ASO enetered into our hostels, a group of ppl shouted at him with dirty vulgar words. He was horrified about this and ran towards principal's home. Now the principal came to control us. But the result is the same, ppl started to shout the same at him. As it is dark no one can find who is shouting..even we can't...At that point our principal made a resolution that he will never n ever enter into final year hostels until we pass out...but he kept that promise till the last...

As usual the next day there was an enquiry for those riots and bad words...few innocents were torchured for half-hour to point out those blacksheeps...but nobody exposed those names, eventhough they knew them..........

In the flight, he meets the heroine(preity), who s an NRI and working as a CEO of a leading software company in london...both r having nice time during that travel and both wishes to stay in same hotel...now our hero starts the investigation secretly and finds some clues and catches few third level ppl who behind those blasts....but not the master mind...at the same time he fells in love wit the heroine, but she doesnt seems to be...

Atlast, he finds tat the heroine is the master mind behind the blast and her software company is the source for funding those blasts n terror group...then everything ll be taken care by CBI and Interpol officers...

INTRO scene:

As our hero has both sleepwalking disorder along with exra-sensory perception (ESP- means he knows the things which ll happen, before it happens) the intro will be like this. He s sleeping now. In his dream his friend comes and knocks the door. (All the dream sequences are shwn in green filter throughout the movie), but no one s ther in real...in his dream he has a band-aid in his forehead, but not in real...as he has sleepwalking disorder, he believes his dream as real and starts walking to open the door and gets hurt in his forehead by the door...on the same day evening, he s sleeping n his freind coming to his home..now he has his band-aid on his forehaed in real...This seems to explain that he believes in his dream and does wat he dreaming and the same ll happen again in the future...This scene ll explain the total thing in this movie...

Life in Noida

2007-08-22T08:38:00.000-07:00

As we were freshers, we were trained in chennai and transferred to noida office. We are 7 guys n 8 gals came to delhi in train(wondered how the railway station of the capital city is in such a devestating state)...out of which only 3 guys know hindi...even I dont know hindi...

we were given accomodation for 15 days by the company...we tried hard to find a rent house within those 15 days...but language constraint and the winter season made it hard...finally on 15th day, we managed to get into a house with the help of our colleague from chennai...
During that particular week, the climate was worse...its close to 5 degrees ( as compared to chennai, this is very very cold) along with constant rain...we ran here n there to purchase wollen materials or otherwise we cant sleep at night...

Then comes the food...here they always eating rotis...even in company cafeteria, its roti all the time...After a month, we decided to cook with only one guy having cooking knowledge...and we all put our hands in cooking experiment...now im well versed with sambar and rasam... :)
Our next enemy is hindi...in our office we can manage with english...if we come out of it, everything is bla bla bla...here the main transportation is thro richshaws only(we felt sad wen we saw it first)...now I know 20 to 25 words in hindi...always trying to manage with them...but ending up with the line 'mujhe hindi maalum nahe'...

After two months again the climate became our enemy...this time its too hot to bare...mostly 47 degrees...in weekdays we can manage as we are in air conditioned office, but in weekends...with power cut, its intolerable...

Amongst these things, we found our time to visit Taj mahal and also around delhi...now planning to visit Jaipur in September...hope everything ll go fine...

LIGHTNING -ENERGISING THE FUTURE WORLD

2007-08-20T02:23:00.000-07:00

Hi,
Here is the gist of my first n last technical paper ( laugh n njoy)....

FORMATION OF LIGHTNING:
Lightning, form of visible electric discharge between rain clouds or between a rain cloud and the earth .The discharge is seen in the form of a brilliant arc, sometimes several kilometers long, stretching between the discharge points.

How rain clouds become charged is not fully understood, but most rain clouds are negatively charged at the base and positively charged at the top.
The negative charge at the base of the cloud induces a positive charge on the earth beneath it, which acts as the second plate of a huge capacitor. When the electrical potential between two clouds or between a cloud and the earth reaches a sufficiently high value—about 10,000 volts (V) per centimeter (cm) or about 25,000 V/in. The air becomes ionized along a narrow path and a lightning flash result.
All types of lightning occur far above the cloud layer, jumping from the tops of the clouds into the stratosphere (12.9 to 19.3 km/8 to 12 mi above the surface of the earth).

ION CAPTURING:
A ribbon is mounted on a base station which gives insulation protection to the ribbon from the earth and also gives support to it. The other end of the ribbon or cable is connected to the large plate which is placed in the space. This ribbon implementation is done at a place where large number of lightings (rain) occurs in a year. Here cable means not an ordinary cable. It must be capable of withstanding high pressure, gravitational force, and temperature rise due to friction in the atmosphere. The small strands of cable are twisted to give high mechanical strength.
The material required for construction of the ribbon is a carbon nanotube composite. Carbon nanotubes will be under commercial production in the near future. Composites utilizing carbon nanotubes are also under development and may be ready in the next one to five years.
So when lightning occurs 10,000 volts (V) per centimeter (cm) or about 25,000 V/in that produce in the atmosphere is induced in the ribbon. These induced ions are fed to the plate by connecting the plate and the ribbon.

The base station should be placed on the pacific sea. The base station should not get affected due to natural calamities like hurricane, rain, and tide. It should be restricted for the passage of airplanes and rockets. There should be high protection measures to make it safe.

STORAGE DIFFICULTIES:
Practically we cannot store a large amount of DC voltage. For such a high voltage we don’t have a huge storage device. Many scientists are trying to invent such a bulk storage device which stores high voltages in the range of billion MV.

PARALLEL PLATE CONCEPT:
So we dealt with parallel plate idea in which the induced ions are fed to the plate in the space .The plate is placed at the Geo- stationary orbit of the earth which is about 35,786 km from the earth. The great advantage of placing a plate in the geo- stationary orbit is that the plate also rotates the earth at a speed as earth revolute itself. So when you keep the plate over India, it will remain over India even when earth rotates. Hence it acts as a positive plate and the earth acts as a negative plate. Thus it forms a plate storing a high voltage.

TRANSMISSION:
Then we can take out certain advantage through tapping from the plate and that voltage is converted into microwaves and is transferred from the plate to the earth. In the receiving stations that microwaves are converted back to voltage and is transmitted to the applications as usual.

Paper presentation

I would like to start with my first paper presentation experience during my college days. As I was studying in my third year EEE in IRTT erode, there was lots of pressure to present a paper. In our college paper presentation is a prestigious matter. If you have no papers means you are not worthful in that college. Even some of my class mates and freinds have presented and won some prizes...huge pressure mounted on me. Its my turn...I have to do it, even if it could not get me the prize. It would help to fill up the resume when we appear for the interview next(final) year.

I had a thought, an idea about doing a paper on energy harnessing. I naturally have creative thinking skill, always tend to think some extraordinary things. When I heard that the present major resource of energy, fossil fuel will go empty in 100 years, I started to think about some alternative for that, So that I can do something for the next generation of the world. It should satisfy the need of the increasing population. So one day, I sat in front of the computer along with my freind and started typing things that needed to be a paper. I just typed down everything I thought about that one and atlast it reached 10 pages, but not enough. So we inserted few pictures wherever we got the space and it resulted in 16 page - complete paper ready for mailing to the review comittee of symposiums. To satisfy the world's energy need, I selected lightning as a source. Now its your chance to imagine how I would have connected lightning with the energy harnessing. I will share the full paper in my next post. It might look like a comedy. Even you could think that how this paper was selected for presentation in two colleges. Even I don't know.

Hi all,

Already I have a blog named praveen85.blogspot.com, but I made it as a notice board for job opportunities and video stuff. So, now after visiting lots of blog, a desire in my mind to start another blog to speak from my heart...This is the result...hope I ll post lots of interesting things here.....njoy......
