Today morning, i saw a new ad for our company. It goes this way, "Employee Benefits @ 'company name' " (irukura recession la naan company pera kuduthen, athoda thookunaainga enna !!!!!!!)
It details about the Car loan and Home loan options available in our cmopany. Car loans upto 3 lakhs will be granted @ 415 bucks\lakh. i was going through that poster and suddenly i was in grave shock !!!!! they used Pajero car for the Ad..immediately, i told bala:
"Ada paavigala, 3 lakhsku pajero chasis kooda vaanga mudiyaathu...manasaatchi illama poster adichirukinga...athaiyum pathu peru paakuraainga...Enna Kodumai Sir idu!!!!"
with that 3 lakhs we can get maruti 800 and nothing more than that !!!!!!!
PS: wait for NANO !!!!
PPS: en kalyanathukku thaan NANO varumnu ninaikiren ;)

Bug in C !!!!
This happened during my training days. First day of C programming, before that the toughest C program I ever coded in my life is prime number.(still I don’t get that logic, I just memorized and vomited in the exam). After day 1 of some basic introduction, I thought of writing a program.. This program gives an option for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of two numbers. I wrote the program and started testing it.
Everything was fine, I checked for addition of two numbers. 10+12 = 22, then 3+4 = 7…wow, my first program and its running fine. Then I thought of testing the system capacity. I gave some large numbers and then also it was returning the right results. Then I gave this number 3.4 , 4.6 for addition I was expecting 8 and it spitted 7 on my face !!!!
Now, I am bit surprised, I tried various numbers and everything worked well except 3.4 and 4.6. Now, I was really wondering whether I have invented a bug in the C programming ??? then the weird thoughts like : me solving the bug and getting noticed, then I get company level recognition, then US people wants to know how I debugged it , so I m making a trip to US and what not, at last ending up meeting Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Larry Page.
It was uncontrollable pleasure for few mins and then I informed my fellow batch mate about the bug. She was in grave shock hearing what I have said. She was delighted and at that time I was looking like million bucks in front of her (aiiiaaaaa, Vaaranam Aaiyiram padam paathathu idukaachum use aagudey !!!!) then she looked into my code. The next minute she gave an awkward look at me as if I’m the biggest moron in this world. I asked her:
Me: Hey what happened?????
She: Have you ever coded before in your life ????
Me: No, whats the matter ????
She: well, u declared the variable as "int" and you are trying to add a "float" values…
Well, do I have to say how I looked at that time ???? it’s left for your imagination, but certainly it took me a week to face her again!!!!!
PS: after that only I came to know the variable types in C
PPS: that was the first and last time I coded something !!!!
PPPS: still now, at some weird hours, I believe what I coded is absolutely right !!!!!!!!!

What will happen ????
The other day i was going through few java questions as a preparation for my exams. I read a question without any answer choices...
1) What will happen if you try to compile and execute this piece of code ?
well, as there are no choices to pick from, i came up with my own answer:
"It'll invoke the nuclear weapon which is 500mts away from this company and within seconds this company will burn down to ashes !!!! "
I like this objective type questions without any objects, it just expands ur creativity !!!!!
PS: I'm lovin it !!!!
PPS: i wish that piece of code really does as per my wish !!!
PPPS: he he he he :D

Vaaranam Aaiyiram - the better title is Yaanai Thousand or Elephant Aayiram !!!!
Vaaranam Aaiyiram..mixed opinions, though its definitely not a master piece , can be watched once for few things:
(STATUTORY WARNING: few spoilers are there)
1) The excellent love track between Surya and Sameera. It starts like an usual Love-At-First-Sight (eventhough I don’t believe that, but sameera va paatha yaara irundaalum they’ll fall in love) and ends up as an eternal love. The scene where he tried to convince her to stay back in India was just awesome. The whole track keeps the movie live for first half.
2) Anjalai song: Fate separates the lovers and this song comes after that. Surya got an intrinsic way of showing few things, like when he first meet sameera he used to keep his hands on heart and try to stop the extra-poundings. During this song, which portrays the pathos side has been churned out well with dance movements like he will hit his heart with the same hands to show the pain…
3) Surya’s acting has improved a lot and this is definitely his career best. Excellent performance from him and he has shown that thin margin btw son and dad. He’s definitely an inspirational dad!!!!
4) Sameera: wow, she’s absolutely fantastic. No skin shows, just expressions, the glimpse she gives when she meet surya in US is simply outstanding…it disturbed my sleep for some hours ;)
5) Technical department: Technical department is simply outstanding. It’s really refreshing to see the visuals and in particular; songs and fights. The fights during the rescue of the child are so natural and “adiyae kolluthey” is best for its choreography and picturization.
I hope 5 reasons are more than enough to watch a movie…now to bloopers.
1) The movie name is derived from aandal thirupaavai, an excellent rendition on lord perumal. That’s the only time u see something in pure tamil, for rest of the movie even the paper boy will use standard idioms. So B & C centres la padam kandippa puttukum. There’s a scene in which divya tells surya, “you look like million bucks!!!” My roomie: “dei, iva ippo ennada sonna????”
2) Length!!!!! well, though surya-sameera part is an interesting one, but the length really made us tired and everyone were expecting an interval to peee(athisayamaa PVR la nethu AC fulla irunduchu, the moment interval title card came, everyone were running out) In second half after surya getting married, the movie runs for another 30 odd mins...sathiyama ukaara mudiyala!!!!!!
3) Slow!!!!! When the movie ended we felt like stayed in theatre for some months!!!! Though the movie is slow, none of the things are detailed. The whole story is in narrative manner, so if it’s little more detailed, it would had been a great pleasure to watch
4) Re-Recording…a big letdown!!! Songs are really good but harris re-recording was pathetic to the core. I always had a doubt whether this guy is an "aathivaasi", and he proved that once again with his cruel re-recording. Wish I had a remote to mute few scenes!!!!!
5) Father-Son relationship was portrayed bit larger than life and it’s not acceptable at times.
Avlothaan pa….this is purely my personal opinion. One more spoiler alert, people who follow mass heroes pls avoid this movie!!!!!!!!

Moi premier fauche !!!!
Well, the topic means “My First Theft”
I was 5 years old. We were not financially settled then, so I used to go to neighbor’s places and watch their kids playing with toys. That was my best pastime at that age. I particularly liked a toy-train. It’s big in size and it gives tak-tak sound while running. Whenever I listen to that sound, it gives sheer joy in me. The kid who used to play with the train always offers the toy to me for playing, but even at that age I was very reluctant in touching it. I had a feel that it doesn’t belong to me, also what if I broke it? My dad definitely can’t replace it. So I just avoided those things. At that time I was such a nice kid, that I never asked anything from parents. My mom used to tell me that if at all I ask something, it’ll be in polite manner and I always add one last sentence to it “when u have money buy that for me dad”
I was also very proud about this and couple of years passed, at the age of 7, as a kid I got the irresistible urge to own something. I can’t digest the fact that I don’t have anything to play with. There were a family, couple of houses away from us. His dad used to buy him lots of toys. The devil inside me urged to steal one for me. I went to his house and that kid was playing with the toys and I also joined with him. He’s younger to me and so I have a little over-hand on him. After sometime that aunty bought us milk to drink and this guy was just running away and she was trying to catch him. I decided, yes, this is the moment. I snatched a tiniest car in the lot and put it in my pocket silently. It just happened instantly and I was thrilled for that fraction of second.
I came home with a happy note, but somewhat something was pinching me from inside. I know how my parents value ethics and how they fear for GOD. That night I just felt very bad, it’s just swing of emotions and I cried that night for what I have done. All I felt was, I did a wrong thing. Next day evening, after my school, I went straight to his house. He greeted me with the same smile and I also managed to smile at him. Then at one point of time, I just took the car from my pocket and was about to put it back in the lot. Well, my worse time, the kid saw that. He couldn’t grasp anything but he just felt bad. He stopped speaking to me and in couple of months they moved away from our house.
That day, that particular look from that kids face, I was very ashamed; I apologized to him whenever I go to temple. I still donno whether he forgives me or not but for me I still feel guilty. That was my first and last theft.
PS: that kid name is Faiyaz.

Do you have any phobia?
I’m acrophobic and claustrophobic. In simple words, I have fear for heights, narrow spaces, congestion. There’s definitely no answer for how I got acquainted with these fears. I’m traveling with them for past several years. Earlier till age 17,I was Achluophobic (fear of darkness) , but now I got used to darkness and it doesn’t fear me anymore.
When I say this acrophobia, I even fear to climb ladder, stand up in a stool, peep from second floor and lots. I always want my foot to be rested in the ground or else it gives me scary thoughts as if I am a suspended particle in air and any time gravity can pull me and I may become invisible. My workplace is in 6th floor of the building and I never peeped from there. It’s such a horrible sight to see below. Whenever I see or try to see below I feel like jumping. I am not sick but it’s that cold feel I get always then the continual reactions will be my palms will become ice cold, I will be trembling a bit, I will reach my seat and give my whole body weight on the cushion…..as if someone has glued me to it. At times people used to make fun of it, but somehow I just ignore them. The other day, we went to shivamani concert arranged in our campus. It’s over crowded so we went to first floor. It was crowded there too and only way to watch is standing on a stool. So shanm brought two stools and he was standing on that. With some guts I got up the stool, stood on that for nearly 10 mins, the music was so mesmerizing and I was completely into it. After 10 mins I just looked down...my foot are trembling and i felt like suspended in sky…next moment I just got down from stool!!!!!!!! Couple of years back, i went trekking...it's little steep and i still remember i was sticking to the rock like lizard for whole 2 hours :(
Regarding the fear of narrow path, the scariest experience is at Prarthana / Aradhana drive-in theatre. It was 4 years back during the release of the movie “Kathal”. The ticket counter looks like a cage…30 foot narrow path build with walls on either side at 15 foot high, the worst part is that its concealed and the space is just 2.5 foot which is fit enough for just one person to stand….just like caged-queue. I went inside the queue and there were no one behind me…and in front of me 5-6 guys were standing. After 3-4 mins there came not less than 10 people behind me. I felt like locked from all the side and I started feeling suffocation. I just started pushing them away and was heading towards exit….when I came out I was just immersed in sweat and I can taste the salty tears in my lips…I was crying like hell. My friends were waiting on the other side of the queue after parking their two-wheelers. I just went straight to siva and told him that it’s too crowded and I cant go inside. He cursed me and he went and bought the tickets.
Somewhat I got used to live with this but i want to overcome this.Can someone suggest how to overcome these fears?
