India International - Motor Show 2007

February 22nd, 2007

Had been to the “India International - Motor Show 2007″ on Friday - 11th Feb 2007. I was there when the curtains of the show were about to drop. Atleast 30% of the stalls were already shut by the time I was there (around 7 PM). I was expecting a lot of crowd for the […]

Lycos Mail Service upgrade

August 1st, 2006

Lycos has come up with a long pending upgrade of their mail service. They have revamped their first generation user interface, though not as impressive as one would expect.
An important highlight of this upgrade is the fact that they have increased the mail box size to 3 GB (yes, THREE GB). That puts them in […]

Sathyam Cinemas SHOCKS !

May 26th, 2006

Just a couple of days back, I wrote about how “Sathyam Cinemas Rocks” but it is unfortunate that I write today about how they shocked me (yesterday). I had then booked a couple of tickets online, for the evening show on Saturday. The movie was scheduled to be screened in Studio-5. But yesterday, […]

Airport Drop - A Costly affair

May 25th, 2006

I had to drop one of my relatives at the Airport yesterday and here are some observations/facts as I did that.
As I was approaching the airport (around 50 Mts. before taking the right turn from the GST road to the airport entrance), I saw a lot of cars parked to the left of […]

I am sure some of you would have tried this by now. For the unknown, Sathyam Cinemas has introduced a website named http://thecinema.in (a few months back) through which you can book your tickets Online using a credit card.
Good thing about this service is, the tickets will not be door delivered (which means you […]

The One and Only TR

May 16th, 2006

This blog post is dedicated to our One and Only T. Rajendar. He definitely has a separate identity. Be it his appearance, cinema, politics or any other activity, he impresses one way or the other. And guess what, he hails from Mayildauthurai town (near Kumbakkonam) which happens to be my native as well.. […]

Chances of hitting a century !

May 15th, 2006

This is no cricketing subject !
One thing that caught my attention a few days back when I came across a centenarian (a woman) was the gender ratio in such centenarians. Most of the centenarians I have come across are women. Why would this be the case ? Got a little curious to find out […]

Well done Bangladesh !

April 26th, 2006

Today, I had a chance to watch the highlights of the match between Australia and Bangaldesh which was held in England (not sure which ground) as part of the tri-nation series in the near past. And as many of you might know, Bangladesh won the match by 5 wickets (with 4 balls to spare).
I […]

Jarhoo.com

Chanced upon this website while searching for some weird NoClassDefFoundError messages that I encountered during my work with Tomcat. You may find this useful when you are getting started to work with/debug some well known third party applications which has a lot of library (jar) files (ex. J2EE app server, Tomcat etc).

Raina - An Exciting talent

April 6th, 2006

From what I have observed so far, Raina is definitely a talented Cricketer. He seems to be unperturbed about the situation at which he comes to bat and plays with a lot of positive energy (athleticism in the field is another big plus). He surely has the timing and the power to backup his skill.
But […]
