Old Habits Die Hard

Microsoft has launched outlook.com recently. The introduction was impressive: built on the strong foundations of Hotmail, learning from the new developments. That they even mentioned GMail as a milestone in the email evolution was really impressive: Eight years later, Google introduced Gmail, which included 1 GB of storage and inbox search. The layout and the […]

The Mars Landing

The Curiosity rover has an official twitter account: @MarsCuriosity. And this is what it said about the landing: # I’m safely on the surface of Mars. GALE CRATER I AM IN YOU!!! And then # Me & My Shadow… & Mount Sharp. My view of the 3-mile-high mountain in the middle of Mars’ Gale crater #MSL http://twitpic.com/agc3nk Sara Winge […]

“Like” to hate

If you thought Facebook was a social network that helped you to connect to people you already know and make new friends, just look around. This is what I found on my page today. These are Like to hate posts. If there is one purpose of this poll, it is to spread hatred. Spread a […]

Beware of Yes

If you work with people, and that applies to most of us, beware of always being accepted. A yes to almost everything you say is almost always dangerous. There is something seriously wrong. Especially if you manage a team or something. Worse still if you manage someone who manages a team. If all you get […]

Now and Then

Now and then I had to go in that T51 yesterday. It as not very crowded. The few advantages of taking the T51 from TCS RTSC was that many people would get down at Sozhinganallur . If you know the route enough you would try to stay at the end of the bus, mostly the […]

The Enemy

‘The Enemy,’  retorted Yossarian with weighted precision, ‘is anybody who’s going to get you killed, no matter which side he’s on, and that includes Colonel Cathcart’. If Yossarian were following all these news about Bhopal, Union Carbide and Dow, he would have told Clevinger that the enemy is not somewhere in the US. The enemy […]

Reverse Raj Thackerays

When Venkatraman Ramakrishnan bagged the 2009 Nobel prize for chemistry along with two others, India and Tamil Nadu was jumping with joy – Indian bags Nobel Prize, person born in Tamil Nadu, in our Chidambaram. Is this something to rejoice? I don’t think so. Lets accept it. He is not an Indian. He is not […]

No twitter today, so tweets go here

Was watching 3 idiots… a nicely made masala movie… perhaps if the novel was written this way, it would have been more realistic and i would have enjoyed it… rather than complaining… except for the delivery scene, everything was good… – I think my mind is way too fast than all the physical movements of […]

A Polished Reflection

Generally the original is far more better than the remakes or the imitations. This is the opinion I hold. I has watched Unnaipol Oruvan sometime bad and have been wanting to watch A Wednesday, its original, for sometime. Found some time today, and, was surprised to find the remake better than the original. Generally I […]

What is the porpose

As I was walking across the station today, I saw these:   For me they sounded like: The honest and the corrupt are both normal. And if you are corrupt, it is definitely not your mistake that God was a bit less noble while creating you. (BTW, Did someone really think that reading these, or […]
