Google Reader

A Blog aggregator created by google a year back has now become more mature. A Nice interface more keyboard shortcuts (very important for me) and does a very good job. As all Google sotware it is still in beta. Give it a try here it is - Google Reader.

Here is my Public Page that shows my favis from various Blogs.

Click

Click - The MovieJust back from this movie. A Very hilarious movie, throughly impressed. No Logic in the Movie but it is a good time pass. Gets across an important message that your Life is more important than your job. Would recommend it.

Official Web Site :: London Show Timings :: Reviews

Chennai Metro Map


chennai-suburban-mapHow many of you have seen this? For starters I have not.

Surprised that there is something like this available which displays the line and all the stops and the connections.

Have never felt a need to have this in Madras since we knew what is where and it is not all that complicated.

Would never be able to go on the Tube in London without the Tube Map. Amsterdam is not all that difficult pronouncing the names is the tough part. For the Size of Singapore they have an Impressive list of lines and it is indeed complicated.

This is a very nice site which display Metro Maps across the world :: UrbanRail.net

A Tribute ....

Steve IrwinA great naturalist has been taken away from us today by a Sting Ray. This is a real sad day for the Reptilian and Mammalian world.

Steve Irwin was a Great naturalist and I have always loved his shows on the Discovery channel and Animal Planet. I have enjoyed his crocodile files and many times i have felt he was a bit crazy.

He loved his animals so much that he even entered a crocodile pen with his baby in one hand !!!!

As somebody aptly put it he died doing what he liked the most.

The crocs are now shedding real tears !!!!!

To a great person who showed us that animals also have feelings and can be loved - Salutes to you ......

So is there no body keeping tab on these autorocities. What about people who slog 2 years to get this degree !!!!

Boycott English - Why ?

Okay Let us get this real straight. English is a Worldwide Language and that is a fact that people need to accept. How much ever you Rant and Rave about your mother tounge you will not be able to communicate in that once you leave your home town. Think about it Tamil (which happens to be my mother tounge) as a Language has more dialects than you can count and when i leave my home town and go to a different part of TamilNadu I end up in a state where i cannot understand half the spoken words :)

Now Karanataka (The ex-IT state of India) is all set to Boycott English or atleast Boycott schools which have gone from Karnataka as the Medium of Education to English.

So now we will have a spur of Toddlers who only know Kanadiga and cannot understand English and cannot Speak Fluent English. Where do they stand in the Global Market. Leave the Global Market where do they stand on the Indian Job Market.

The Next thing we are going to hear is MK comming with something as stupid to get Tamil as the state language.

Globalaization will become a thing of the Past !!!!
