Dasavatharam Songs

2 பாட்டு புரிய‌ல‌
2 பாட்டு பிடிக்க‌ல‌
2 பாட்டு decent to good.

And its likely that in a very long time, Kamal's new songs are not on their way to my ipod.

Starring down the barrel

Phoenix Crybabies err... Suns are in a hole that no team has ever come out from - a 0-3 deficit in a 7-game series. San Antonio thrashed them in Phoenix late last night in an offensive clinic.

Hello? Where the those who predicted a Suns series win in 5/6 games?!?

இது வேற‌யா?

As if all the unnecessary "talks" around Indian players playing in IPL and jokers in Maharashtra talking about cheer leaders is not enough, freakish behavior has taken center stage.

The last thing the playing nation wanted!

No one deserves this better

Emmanuel David "Manu" Ginobili has atlast won the "Sixth Man of the year" award - something which I believe he should have won twice already. Of course, it is the votes that count. Oh yes, Manu won 123 of the possible 124 first place votes garnering 615 of the 620 possible points!

The Spurs' super sub has been nothing but brilliant all season along and has upped the ante in the playoffs against the Suns averaging 26.5 points a game.

Manu received the award minutes before game 2 tipped off in SA.

Go Spurs!

Dispelling Darkness

ADMK had called for mass "lamp lighting" to dispell darkness in TN by inviting "Amma" to herald a new beginning at Fort St. George. The event happened yesterday.

No Comments.

Instant Success

There was so much haste, hype, hoopla, high-profile player draft, star power and "filmy" power surrounding the IPL kick-off. Also, there was this bunch of jokers in BCCI trying to flex their muscles messing up with coverage rights and the threat of the media boycotting the we-have-nowhere-to-go show piece event loomed large.

Brendon McCullum had other ideas. What we witnessed on the first day of IPL is what we have not seen in ICL so far, now in its second season.

IPL is here to stay.

Yaaradi Nee Mohini

Browse the internet for reviews. I am not writing one.

The movie was certainly fun to watch. The entire theater watched the movie as a group of friends and we were in splits a majority of the time courtesy the scenes and the plethora of comments that came up.

Takeaways
  • Find a s/w company that does coding in the beaches of Australia although its tough to find a PM like Nayan
  • Everybody can start and run s/w companies. All you need is DOS and a CD Drive. Full project-a DOS ம‌ட்டுமே வெச்சு deliver ப‌ண்ண‌லாம்‍-னு என‌க்கு நேத்திக்கு தான் தெரியும்.
Finally, Yuvan, Selva and co. deserve whacks on their butts using "Uruttu Kattais" for asking and then allowing Udit Narayanan to sing 2 songs.

First, his voice does not suit Dhanush (and everybody else in Kollywood for that matter). Second, he tosses the language for a roadkill - just the way he pronounces a majority of the Tamil words spoiling the beauty of the language. He pronounces "Azhagu" as "Azhukku". Shame on the crew!

P.S: For the benefit of people who don't know Tamil, Azhagu means beauty and Azhukku means Filth.
