Gulmohar....

I saw Gulmohar, Malayalam movie.... Its a very good movie I'd say....
Its the story about a few young revolutionaries, with communism in their blood and a gutsy heart, ready to fight against injustice.
It actually takes us back to those days when Kerala was a communist states.... Mind you, If I would have been living in that era, I would have been a communist too, that was the influence and clamour communism had in those days....
but now, communists have lost their way. Its just a bunch of people who do not know what they do or say.
My father was a communist, I see lot of Lenin books which belonged to my him. On the other hand, my mom is congress... Its hereditary...
If you ask me what I'm, I cannot give you a definite answer.
I'm definitely not a comrade... I just don't like the way the party works, or how the leaders show themselves to the people. I started disliking the party when they tried to pull down UPA over nuke deal. What a shame..... And I started liking congress after Manmohan miraculously pulled the party up....!!!!
I am not a VHP or RSS guy. But I like them, ... But of course, I hate them for their anti-muslim campaign, how they brought down Babri masjid and Gujrat riots....
I loved BJP when Vajpayee was PM... He was jus awesome....

Ok ok, I'm out of the subject.... Gulmohar, nice film, 7/10.

Farewell Mininova.... :(

Today is a very sad day for me.... Mininova, the biggest torrent site is no more.... They have reduced their torrent distribution for copyrighted content only following a court order..... This means that we cannot get anymore free s/w or movies or anything for that matter....

Mininova wrote :

Hi all,Today is an important day in the history of Mininova. From now on, we are limiting Mininova.org to our Content Distribution service. By doing so, we comply with the ruling of the Court of Utrecht of last August.Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service. According to the verdict (Dutch link) we have to prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or to similar-looking titles. We’ve been testing some filtering systems the last couple of months, but we found that it’s neither technically nor operationally possible to implement a 100% working filter system. Therefore, we decided that the only option is to limit Mininova to Content Distribution torrents from now on. We are still considering an appeal at this moment.We launched our Content Distribution service in 2007. This service allows producers and artists to easily publish and distribute their content for free through Mininova. The launch of Content Distribution has proven to be a success. Countless content owners have used Content Distribution to distribute their content (e.g. albums and documentaries) for free to millions of users. For example, the Dutch band Silence is Sexy released their complete album on Mininova and received the Interactive Award 2009 for doing so. The Dutch television broadcaster VPRO decided to start using Content Distribution in 2009 in order to distribute documentaries.We would like to thank you for your support. Especially everyone that contributed to Mininova receives a big “thank you!” for the effort! We hope to keep welcoming you on Mininova and our other projects (e.g. Snotr, Dispostable).Thanks! The Mininova staff

Sad, isn't it...?

Gone ore those days where we could get virtually any software, movies, games or anything thru P2P network....

I am so much thankful to mininova for giving me all those thisngs which I wanted, surely it wouldn't have been possible without you....

I still hope yow will rise again when, just like mininove was born when supernova was killed....

Mininova : Internet = MJ: music....

Rest in peace.... Love u, miss u....

Love & friendship....!

Guys.....!
I'm having a very rough time right now.....I'l write abt that sometime....
Okay, so I was surfing, ans got struck at a very interesting blog.... by a guy called Macky...
I think the blog's pretty cool( http://mackyunggoy.multiply.com/journal?&page_start=40 )... He's in my blog list, check out if you want.... this piece, I thought its good.... have a read....

If you are afraid to love a person because of
friendship, you have two choices either tell
what you feel and let the heart takes place forever
or hide the feeling under a friendship
full of pretensions. Sometimes I've asked my self,
what would make me happy? To think
that I have everything else, I get what I want…then
I realized it was you, too bad because
it's you I can't have… love can never be beautiful
without friendship. One leads to
another and the process is irreversible…the best of
lovers are the greatest friends!
Love doesn't have to have a happy ending because
love doesn't have to end at all. A man
realized he wanted his love back not wanting to be
hurt again, the girl said, "no!" The
man cried out to God "If we were meant to be, why
did I lose her?" God replied, "you did not lose her …you let her go."
When you love someone don't expect
that the person to love you back the same amount.
One of you will be ahead, the other
behind. It's either you catch up or the other waits.
What if someone tells you this? "I don't
believe in courtship, it's just a waste of time" If I
love a person, I'll tell her right away but
for you, I'll make an exemption… just love me now
and I'll court you forever. Never be
afraid to fall in love it may hurt you a lot it may give
you aches and pain, but if you don't
follow your heart, in the end you will cry even more
for not giving love a chance. I'm sorry if you can't
love me the way you have loved the person before
me so I let you go to
find her. Think of this: have you ever cared for
someone more than you expected? Have you ever
tried to love him in spite of all the pain? Will you
love him as he whispers someone else's name?
True love hears what is not spoken and understand
what is not explained, for love doesn't work in the
mouth nor in the mind but in the heart. When you
love, you must not expect anything in return for if
you do, you are not loving but investing. If you love,
you must prepare to accept pain, for if you accept
happiness, you are not loving but using… I like you
because you are my friend and because you are
my friend, I care and because I care, I LOVE YOU I
don't love you because you are my friend, I love
you because I do!!! Food for thought: it's better to
lose your pride with someone you love rather than
lose that someone you love with your useless
pride. I can't choose whom I'm gonna love, but also
I can't just love who chooses to love me and you
can't blame me in choosing to love you as much
as I can't blame you for not learning to love me.
How can I say goodbye to some one I never had?
Why do tears fall for someone who was never
mine? Why is that I miss someone I was never
with and I ask why I love someone whose love was
never mine? It's hard for two people to love each
other when they live in two different worlds…but
when these two worlds collide and become one,
that's what you call… MAGIC! Don't love a person
like a flower, coz a flower dies in
season. Love them like a river because a river
flows forever. "Love may leave your heart
like shattered glass but keep in mind that there's
someone who'll be willing to endure the pain of
picking up the pieces so you could be whole
again". The most cruel thing a guy
could do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he
doesn't intend to catch her fall.


hope u like this....
ok.cya

Roxy Music.....!

I saw " Flashback of a Fool" just now and what a movie....!
Its the story of a fading hollywood star, Joe.

Its set in the 70's... The movie is pretty good, but this movie introduced me to " Bryan Ferry" , the UK musician.... and know what his one song " IF there is something" is awesome, we can sense his passion for music and love in this song. I downloaded his discography, and know what, he's the best of the best. His songs are awesome...

Check out the lyrics, hear the song if you can:
If there is something that I might find
Look around corners
Try to find peace of mind I say
Where would you go if you were me
Try to keep a straight course not easy
Somebody special looking at me
A certain reaction we find
What should it try to be I mean
If there are many
Meaning the same
Be specific just a game

I would do anything for you
I would climb mountains
I would swim all the oceans blue
I would walk a thousand miles
Reveal my secrets
More than enough for me to share
I would put roses round our door
Sit in the garden
Growing potatoes by the score

Shake your hair girl with your ponytail
Takes me right back (when you were young)
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The hills were higher (when we were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The trees were taller (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The grass was greener (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)

Awesome....!!!

First month in HMT....!

Well, its been more than a month since I joined HMT as a graduate apprentice.... And mind you, the whole factory is awesome....! A mechanical engineer's paradise..... There are soooo many machines, a variety of them....and they are so large.... Mind you, I never thought that I could ever see machines like which are here.... There is a printing machine which was made in England back in 1879....!!! I enjoy every moment in here... True, there is no AC, its not so clean place., my hands will be filled with grease Oil nd metal.... but I still feel that intimacy, or rather a satisfactory feeling that only a Mechanical sector can give me....

Ok, I made quite a few friends and a lot of foes in here....

I've to tell, this is the first taste of what real life is... So you meet all kinda people, some are good, some are sweethearts, some are neutral and some guys simply SUCK.... As someone well said, " Life is a lesson and you'll learn it when you're through"

This is the first sign that life's not gonna be easy in here, but I'm gonna make 100% out of this one year ....

movie time....!

hmmmm, I've developed a new habit, downloadin and watchin new movies.... I've decided to watch a movie a day.... I'l update u wid some movies worth watchin....

Lets see, I just saw Angels & Demons... I had read the original book, and mind you, it was rocking....! And now when I saw the movie, I think its pretty close to the book... Like when you see the movie, you feel like you've seen it before..,( If you had read the book, of course !) The VFX are damn good, the reconstruction of Vatican City, St. Peters basilica, Vatican archives, man , u can't guess they'r just sets.....

Verdict : Must watch.... 4/5

Ice age 3- Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Wow....! this is the one awesome movie....!

Best of the three... There is this new charecter called " BUck", who is very cool and intelligent and all... The comic content is at the fullest on this movie....

Verdict: very must watch- 5/5

The Apprentice.... better Late Than NeVeR

So, after more than an year of soul searching, I've decided to stay in my field... I have quit Sutherland, n on 10th July, I've officially joined HMT as a Graduate Apprentice....

Making the decision was very easy, cos I now know that Mechanical Engineers has a face value that no other engineers have.... But, leaving Acer was very tough.... cos I've loved the process, I loved the way everything is done there, I have learned a lot during the four months I stayed there....

But as they say, " to gain something, you've to loose something"

Now about HMT, man that company is a monster, there are so many machines... n they are so BIG... I hope I'm gonna enjoy staying there.... and by the end of one year, hopefully I'd be a qualified and experienced Mechanical Engineer....

My TL and Program manager says that Mechanical feild sucks and I'm making a stupid decisison. Cos they think that my growth will be very slow and blah blah... They were surprised that I was leaving an 8k salary job to a 2.6 k stipend job.... Well, what they don't understand is the call of a Mechie, the fell & pleasure that one gets when he is doing the job that he had learned.... I'm not telling that IT is bad, but Mechanical is something else, that I love and can't explain....

" Its in your moments of decision that your destiny is made"- Anthony Robbins.

Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

Have I made the decision of my life, well, I think so, and time will prove it :)

I'm a TeChiE....!

I'm working in Sutherland for over 2 months now, and guess what, I now have a fair knowledge of Computer hardware, and troubleshooting....

Its not that I've learned every bit of hardware... Its just that i know a lot more than the average Mechie...
After being here for two months, I've developed a respect for all those networking guys.... I thought that it was quite easy, but actually there's lot to learn
Yes, i'm gonna write a full blog about my life in Sutherland... about the friends i made, about some wackos i met, about love, how i put on weight (), how my biological clock stopped working, n how life is in an IT industry....

Real friends never part....

Hi... I just had a little party wit my old friend midhilaj... He's my friend since my school days... We were together in high school.... Its 5 years since we studied together, and still we keep in touch. Tellin about him, He's not an ordinary guy. People may not like him in an instance.... He loves being wit women... Women are part and parcel of his life.... Means, he just like meetin new gals and makin love wit them, if you know what i mean... I won't consider him as a flirt, its just his instinct to make girl friends, and make love wit Them . . Lot of my fiends hate him for that, but He's a real good guy in heart, and he is a person honours friendship.... The big story is that, he fell in love, he can't think of leavin this gal... He's even thinkin of marrying her... Gosh, thats somethin totally unacceptable from him... Well, he finally agreed that real love do exist, thanks to that gal.... I mean, he would have fished atleast 100 odd gals till now, how can he tell something like this? Well, thats the magic of love. Guess, he didn't meet " The One" till he met her... Well, i think I'l change the heading to somethin like, 'love will find you someday ' or love from heart' . . Later...

How to get apprenticeship in INDUSTRIES (kerala).

So whats the big deal of doing apprenticeship for just 2.5kpm when you can easily find a job anywhere with minimum 6-8 k's....

dude, what do you think. Is there a difference b/w learning kung-fu from bruce lee and from another master who just got his black belt?
There is difference, rite?
These industries were started in 1960's or 70's, so they have all the machines and mechanisms of that time. Remember, I'm telling this from a Mechanical Engineeer's point of view.
All you CS and IT guys, get lost n come back later.

ok, so if u guys wanna do apprenticeship in HMT, FACT, IRE etc, first of all you gotta register in Supervisory development center in Kalamaserry, Ernakulam.

First, you have to go to Sub Treasury, Aluva to get a chalaan. To reach sub-treasury, if you are coming from ernakulam, catch any bus to aluva and get down on "zeenath theatre" bus stop. From there, treasury is just 150 meter walk. You will get the account number of SD centre from treasury. Get a tresury seal on the chalan. ok/

Second, to remit the cash ( only 50/-) , you have to go to State Bank of Travencore, Aluva branch. That is also walkable distance from treasury. Remit the amount there. Then catch any bus which goes to Ernakulam.

Get down on HMT bus stop. Ask anyone the way to primary health center, walk past primary health center for another 100 meter, on the left-side, you will find a building with a yellow board " Supervisory Development Center". Just show your original marks cards and submit the photocopies. The guys there are very helpful, the whole process won't take more than 15 mins.
Thats it, everything done.

Whwn vacancy comes, those guys will call you.

FZ 16, my awsome hot bike!

red-FZ 16
black- fz 1

i bought an Yamaha fz 16 on 20th jan..... i bet she's the most hot lookin bike to hit the indian roads....

she's very smooth, its a pleasure to ride her..... i just enjoy the glances of passers by, adoring her....

handling - she's one of the best machines to handle... she just flows thru the roads... diamond frame does improve handling....

power - her 153 cc heart just pumps power to the wheels.... at 14.4 bhp, she equals cbz in power n torque....

mileage- i keep her within 50kmph, n she gives a decent milage of around 50km/l....

she is a fantastic bike.... her extra broad rear wheels give a formidable grip n balance, u can zoom thru the city traffic like a bolt....

more of her after the first service.....
