Men in White

- A DEDICATION TO SENTHIL-SUJI.

During T's wedding, we guys all wanted to surprise him by coming in white shirt and dhoti. And we did execute it. What you look in the picture is we friends.... (from the start) Karthikeyan, Selvam, me :), Anees, Karthik, Saran and the last is Raj (Climax guy as usual ). Ellarum Ujalavukku maaritom he he...

So wondering where is the Kalyana maapillai and what is his name. Before you see the picture just read out how his nick was T. His full name T.Senthilkumar. Senthil, Karthik, Anees, Raj and I are school friends. Saran and Selvam are my college mates. At school, there were 3 senthil, A.C. Senthil, M.Senthil and T. Senthil. We always used to call them with their initials. Mr. T has one more nick name too. (Vella panni... ) Suji, forgive me for mentioning it.

Here is the details of his marriage. The reception was on 18th Feb 2006 and the marriage was on 19th Feb 2006. Mr. T is working in CTS as a Business Analyst (Thappi thaviri enna vela nu kekathinge...). Senthil who was always against marriage was finally broken by Suji. Suji is a far off relative to senthil and his family had approached him for the alliance. Senthil first didnt accept it, then after so many pressures from family n friends, he asked for 6 months to decide. So meanwhile suji used to meet him sometimes. Guess she had changed him a bit... (Enna senthil, na solrathu ritaaa ?) . Finally our guy had to loose his bachelor degree.

Bachelors party nu onnu irukule... Vittomaa senthile. It was not like a normal bachelors party where guys booze. We guys all met up at Mocha (coffee pub), near nungambakkam. One news reporter introduced himself from Deccan chronicle and asked us for a snap. Naangallem "eee" nu illichu photokku pose kuduthutom. We thought it would be on the Party whirl section... aanna athu vera section la vanthuduche!!!. Dont get panic, check out the valentines blog regarding that.

Welcome to the Hotel Kerala-Fonia!!!

I really enjoyed singing this song along with the actual song.
Thanks to Pavi for this song (Ava blog la runthu suttathu!!!)

Hotel Kerala-Fonia By the Mallu Eagles
- A tribute to the ORIGINAL EAGLES !
Sing to the tune of the original

On the road to Trivandrum
Coconut oil in my hair
Warm smell of avial
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a bright pink tube-light
My tummy rumbled, I felt weak and thin
I had to stop for a bite
There he stood in the doorway
Flicked his mundu in style
And I was thinking to myself
I don't like the look of his sinister smile
Then he lit up a petromax
Muttering "No power today"
More Mallus down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel Kerala-fonia
Such a lousy place,
Such a lousy place (background)
Such a sad disgrace,
Plenty of bugs at the Hotel Kerala-fonia
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
It's infested here
It's infested here

His finger's stuck up his nostril
He's got a big, thick mustache
He makes an ugly, ugly noise
But that's just his laugh
Buxom girls clad in pavada
Eating banana chips
Some roll their eyes, and
Some roll their hips
I said to the manager
My room's full of mice
He said,
Don't worry, saar, I sending you
meen karri, brandy and ice
And still those voices were crying from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them pray

Save us from the Hotel Kerala-fonia
Such a lousy place,
Such a lousy place (background)
Such a sad disgrace
Trying to live at the Hotel Kerala-fonia
It is no surprise
It is no surprise (background)
That it swarms with flies

The blind man was pouring
Stale sambar on rice
And he saidWe are all just actors here
In Silk Smitha-disguise
And in the dining chamber
We gathered for the feast
We stab it with our steely knives
But we just can't cut that beef
Last thing I remember
I was writhing on the floor
That cockroach in my appam-stew was the culprit,
I am sureRelax, said the watchman
This enema will make you well
And his friends laughed as they held me down

God's Own Country? Oh, Hell!

Why won't guys like Kalpana (Asin) ?

Before going down further read the blog on Why girls like Sanjay Ramasamy in Kavitha's Mystery ...

A very lively character, who keeps yapping always ... The way she keeps repeating the imaginative story, "Avane na mothella bombay airport la paarthen. Enna paatha odene Hiiiii sonnan, naanum hi appadinnu sonnen...". The tone and the slang in which she talks (Malayalam kalantha Tamizh) .. not sure if it was her own voice but suits her a lot. The way she boasts after people guess that she was sanjay ramasamy's lover. Her helping nature, her smile, her aim to get 4 ambassadors, her boldness in helping the kids from the gangster ... innum sollikitte polam. No wonder Sanjay (naanum than) fell in love with her.

There was no seperate track for comedy. It was her role in the movie that made us laugh and enjoy. I saw the original eng version of Ghajini, "Memento". My god, what a screenplay. Have not seen any movie like that. Very very complicated and difficult to understand it by seeing it once. May be due to the same reason that movie wasn't reached much. Murugadoss has taken only the "Short-Term Memory loss" and the Revenge concept from that. The 2nd half was literally a pakka tamil masal movie.

And about Sanjay Ramasamy - Absolutely fantastic (mainly because nammba peru vaichurukaan le). Every guy would like to be a Sanjay Ramasamy... just to get a Kalpana... he he and im not an exception.

After seeing the movie the thing that has occupied the mind is "Kalpana - Kalpanavai nambinor kaividapadar..." Hats off to murugadoss for giving such a character to Asin. It was after this moive that I started liking our "Vadumaanga Asin"

The End

Kaipillai - if he was a programmer

This is just a remake of comedy scence from the movie Winner.
(Vadivelu) Kai Pillai is a Project Lead and Kattadurai is the Test Lead

Programer1 : Anne! Kattadurai namba program la bug kandupidichitaan.
KaiPillai : Kattadurai’ku kattam seri illai, Edu vandiye, namba yaarunnu kaatuvom
Group of Programers : Kai pillai computerado kelambitaan.. Ethane prog debug panna poraanno terila

KP goes to Kattadurai’s place.
One of KP’s prog goes and draws a line in between

Kaata : Enathu ithu ?
KP : Antha kotta thandi neeyum varakoodathu, naanum varamaten.
Pechu Pechaa than irukanum
En Prog la bug kandu pidichathu yaaru ?
Katta : Ah Enna enna, kathu kekale, kitta vanthu sollu
KP : Na kote thanda maten, En Programera anupchi vaikuren, avan kepan
Prog : Program la bug kandu pidichathu yaaruda ?
KP : Deiii Kattadurai, Ne oru seriyana Testera iruntha, En aale adichu paaru

Kattadurai gives one slap. Prog swirls around.
KP : Na othukurren, ne oru seriyana Testernu othukurren. Next Meet panren

KP turns back but everyone seems to have run away!!!
Kattadurai testers try to surround him

KP : Ippo Poren, aaana thirumba….
Katta : Thirumba ?
KP : Thirumba vara matennu solla vanthen.

Now all testers circle him.
KP : Ungaley ellam patha ennaku paavama iruku
KP : Ethuvarikkum en programle yarum bug kandu pidichathey illa
Katta : Pona projecla thane kandu pidichen
KP : Athu ponaa Project, Na solrathu intha project

Katta : Athey kudra
KP : Ennathu ?
Katta : Varum paar…
Takes a wood and hits him on the leg.
KP : ayyo ammaaaaaa!!!!

Other Prog : Debug panna Kaipillaike ivalvo adinna, Bug kandu pidichavanuku epadi patrukum.

KP : Ippadi solli solliye… programmer aakitaangale!!!

THE END

After all I'm not Nostradamus

My main guess was that Germany would win this football Worldcup 2006 (Read my previous blog on football predictions). This has been proved false after Germany lost with Italy on the semifinals yesterday. After all Im not Nostradamus, when his predictions of Spain itself failed why can't mine go wrong. Mine was a blind guess, simply because of home support. I had 1998 world cup in mind when France beat Brazil.


Almost all the top 5 nations have lost and they are not through to Semi's itself. Lots of expectations was on Brazil and they have once again dissappointed their fans. The worst was that they lost with France, when people expected them to take a revenge of 1998 worldcup. Czech who was in the 2nd rank was defeated by Ghana, which was yet another shock. Ghana making it to the world cup finals for the first time, really put up a great show.

Guess the pace of worldcup itself has lost after having the top 5 nations loosing. Now its very close and looks like either Potugal or Italy would take the cup. Who knows it might be once again France too.

Have waited so much, just few more days and will know the winners. Lets see!!!

Play on Soft.Technology

We had a get together in office for the new year 2006. I prepared a small play along with some of the collegues and we performed it during the function. This was actually a remake of the skeleton we did in "Adzap" during my school days.

Introduction: (Good-Bad-Ugly music in BG) All of them except the speaker line up, walk towards the stage and face the back. Then they slowly turn one by one from the last.

“We… The employees of Thirdware Solutions, Present before you “
WHAT?
(Each one starring at another)
A small humorous skit on technology ………

Scene 1 Technology in historic story - Romeo & Juliet
Scene 2 How technology won fights – Jean Claude Vandamme & Vendoom
Scene 3 Another imaginary story – Astreix – Cleopatra

Romeo & Juliet
Scene 1
Long long ago, so long ago, no body knows how long ago……..Juliet goes to Romeo, trying to attract him. Romeo, software engineer is busy programming
- Juliet sings to Romeo “You are so beautiful… this is true love”.
- But Romeo is frustrated and says Dont disturb me, im busy now”.
- Juliet is Dejected. “Jub dil hi toot gaya, hum jike kya karenge?” Juliet goes to “Shaking Sphere” and cries “Why thou given me such a dejected character?” Shaking sphere to Juliet
-“Don’t worry my gal, I will give you three options :- choose between them”
Option 1 - Make you also as a programmer
Option 2 - Send Romeo onsite for a long term, so that you will forget him
Option 3 - Create as many BUGS as possible in Romeo’s program so that he is chucked out.
-Juliet says I will choose 3rd option. Shakesphere closes his eyes, tells some mantra and throws on Romeo. Oh! What happened, Romeo’s program crashed. He types hard, bangs – Dang Dang Dang, throws the system. Now Romeo turns to Juliet attracted to her says: Meri jaaan… meri java, “Jub maine juliet deko, mera dil dewana ole, ole ole, ole “
Moral : Behind every successful bug there will be a woman ;) !!!

Vandame & Vendoom
Scene 2
Jean Claude Vandame & Jean Claude Vendoom are twin brothers, but rivals from childhood. They both are having fight among themselves against who will sign for the Stunt Director role in Shankar’s Sivaji movie.
Round 1 begins. Dishyum dishyum…. Vandame hits vendoom
Round 2 begins Dishyum dishyum…. Vendoom hits vandame
After several rounds both are equal. Referee doesn’t know what to do…
Calls up Director Shankar and he asks him to keep a written test on software to select the smart one. Referee gives test paper to both. Vandame seems confident, but Vendoom is starring here n there. (James Bond music) Some one comes there… who is it, is it James Bond ? No it is Bill Gates. Bill gates gives a Bit to Vendoom. Referee sees the time, n says time is up, takes the paper and validates. He is going to announce the winner “And the winner is :” Vendoom.

Chinchu from china comes to interview both of them.
She asks Vandame
Define Program – it’s a Television Show
Define Windows – Every house has it
Keyboard – It’s the Piano
She then goes to Vendoom
Define Hard Drive – It’s the physical disk in Computer
Define Web – Internet
Define Virus – Vital Information Resource Under Siege
Chinchu says – That’s absolutely fantastic and asks him “What is the secret of your energy?”
Vendoom answers “Software is the secret of my energy”… Chinchu joins “Our energy”
Moral : Software na… bit illa byte' adikalam

Astrix & Cleopatra
Scene 3
Julius Caesar the King of Rome goes to Cleopatra to show her the software created by him.
Cleopatra!!! Look what I have for you… Wonderful Software..
Someone enters in the back… Its Brutus, he hits Caesar on the back.
Caesar – aaaaaaahh!!! – “You too Brutus?”
Brutus replies – “No, im only one Brutus.. he he!!” and he kidnaps Cleopatra and the software.
Asterix comes by that way, sees Caesar wounded.. “If I bring back Cleopatra, will you give the software to me?”
Caesar replier – “Yes, yes surely.. go fast anything for Cleopatra”
Asterix uses his magic portion to crosses hills, swims ocean to reach the place
Hey Brutus, give back Cleopatra. Brutus has a problem with the software and he makes a deal with asterix.
Brutus to asterix: “You Debug the software and I will give Cleopatra”
Asterix knows the error as he was the one who created that bug. Solves that & takes back Cleopatra to Caesar
Caesar is happy seeing Cleopatra. But Cleopatra “Chi!, I will go with only Asterix – he is a smart programmer” jumps into Asterix hands
Moral : Create atleast 1 known bug before delivering software to client. Who knows, you might be lucky to get Someone!!!
