Where Is The Party?

I went out Christmas shopping with my sis and my bro-in-law last Saturday. I happened to tell them about my galeej room mate while eating at the food place and on the way back to drop me off at my apartment, my sister remembered this song. She played it saying "Here's one of your galeej songs" looking at me and my bro-in-law mockingly (since we guys like "gaanas"). So, the song, is called "Where is the party", I found it very funny. It's from the movie Silambattam.

Hitler himself is astonished at the ridiculously priced D3X

LOL =)) whoever did this, deserves a lot of praise. Especially when he says, "Makes me wonder why the hell I went to digital instead of sticking to film like Stalin". =)) ROTLF

Who would spend 8 grands on a DSLR that other brands sell for under 4 grands? Ridiculous. The D3X seems to have the same features as the D3 except for the pixel count and ISO features. Anyways, not that I am going to buy one :P.

My Photos

After about 600 snaps on my camera, I could find some 15 to post on my Flickr to share with the world what I like. Of course, most of the others were practice shots to test exposure and shutter speeds and a lot more were of my friends' at various parties we had. HERE'S the link. I will keep updating as a take more photographs. Please leave your comments.

The baby's "World Tour" even before she comes to me :-(

It was heart breaking to know that my baby (Nikon D40) had to go all the way from one corner of the US to the other (literally, from NY to HI) even before coming to me. Take a look at the UPS tracking information and see the plight of careless handling. The mistake was mine. I made an error when typing the zip code which sent the shipment all the way to Honolulu, Hawaii. The moment I realized the error, I gave UPS a call and enquired what could be done. Unfortunately, all I could do was to wait and see whether the shipment goes to Hawaii or comes to me since the city and state were correct. I wonder weather the sorting is automated or not with UPS because at Hawaii, they realized it was for California and sent it back here but at California, they checked the zipcode without even noticing the city name and state name, for the second time.

ANyways, now all the hassel is over and I am expecting to meet her for the first time today. See you all with a video review next time.

The New baby is on the way!!!

Finally, after 2 years of no camera and no memories of good times with friends and family, I convinced myself that having a camera is not as useless as I thought it would be. I thought having a camera was not so important to me (and of course, it's not in my top priority even now), but when I thought about the many places I have visited with friends and family, the many parties and celebrations we've had that were so much fun and those beautiful moments of nature that come my way on the most uneventful days of school, I thought, I should not miss those anymore and capture those moments for a good laugh or to bring a smile on my face, may be, 30 -40 years from now. I decided to get a camera!

I did not do a comprehensive research but I was very impressed with the first website that I came across ( http://www.kenrockwell.com ) and it, apparently, praised the Nikon D40 so much that I was already contemplating the possibility of getting this sucker. But, the price tag put me off the very moment I looked at it. I was thinking of just getting a compact, point-to-shoot camera for a couple of hundred USDs but, then, I started looking for reviews on cnet.net and youtube and one interesting thing was that though cnet experts rated the D40 only less compared to some point-to-shoot cameras, the people who actually had the D40 were so happy and praising the D40. If you search for D40 on YouTube, you cam find a good amount of videos. I do not want to simply brag about this peice of technology even before I get my hands on it. I will post another article as soon as I get the D40 and post a video "the D40 unboxing" (like so many other found on YouTube). So, I was impressed with the reviews and I haven't ever owned any type of SLR camera ever before. This made me interested in the D40 and I also got an awesome deal online. I still have to learn a lot about using SLRs and other simple photography techniques.

Anyways, I am expecting the shipment to arrive by Friday next week (the 31st). See ya'll then.

'Vanakkam' - a tribute to God for my talent.

THis is the first and probably the last good song I recorded. Nas' beat is so good. I call myself 13D as a pseudo name as most other rappers do (I know it's silly that I do it). Please leave your comments.

Can someone get me the lyrics of this song?

I was able to make out some of the words with the help of THIS link. Help me with the words please.

What is the Indian government doing about these poor Christians in Orissa? Has the government become color blind to the Christian population in the Country? VHP is still an organization in India? Isn't it supposed to be taken under control or taken down by now?

mUnKy bUsInEsS

God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve...

Hmmm... I was going to write an entry on Derrie-Air but I think I found a more controversial issue than stupid body-image-shattering news. First of all, belated Independence day wishes and hats off to Abhinav Bindra and Akhil Kumar. So, what is it? It is this Independence march of the Queer community in India. They seem to be fighting for their rights. Now, queer relationships are not unheard of in India but I feel like this is just getting too far. India's gay population has been existing for years and nobody had any problem with that. The gay population had been talked about, in the news and a very good population of India has heard about and seen them. But, people just don't seem to accept them. It is wrong for them to be looked down upon as if they were lesser than humans. OK, now I think I have to talk about another community that is discriminated, the hermaphrodites. I remember this incident when I was in the train on my way back from Secundrabad. We went to the National Youth Leadership conference/Retreat at Secundrabad. By the way "We" here means YST (unfortunately, the link is obsolete but does have basic info), the group I was involved with in Chennai. On our way back, when we were all chatting I took a break for a nature-call and there, by the entrance/exit doors, came a hermaphrodite and demanded money. I didn't know how to respond but just say I don't have any money. The person threatened to expose her ("her" because the person was dressed in a sari) privates if I didn't give her money. To save myself the embarrassment, I gave her Rs. 10. Later I was made fun of by all my friends for being a chicken instead of saying NO to her and keep moving to the bay where we were sitting.
Why did the person have to do that? Because she was not accepted in the society. She can't get a job, not move in the community like the rest of us do and be who she is. The same thing applies to the gay community too. They need to be treated like all other people but, that doesn't mean their behavior is right.
If the march in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkota were for their right to be treated equally, I agree they were correct. But to legalize gay relationships (it doesn't do much anyway), I don't agree with that. When not all marriages are even getting registered in India I am wondering what it changes for the gay community to have their relationships legalized. Will it give them the freedom to walk around hand-in-hand like couples? I think there is a long way and time for that to happen in India. But, my argument is a little more than this. I am not saying that homosexual relationships are right. To me, it is so very unnatural. It is morally not right. It is merely the perversion of an individual who has either been abused earlier in life or had some other intense bad experience. Homosexuality is not natural, it is immorality. Science today can propose an idea from research that it may be in the DNA albeit, it's just going to be a theory like the Big Bang which cannot be proved. Not even the theory of 'evolution' can prove homosexuality to be natural, because it is not a trait acquired for survival. Homosexual relationships should NOT be legalized but homosexual people do have to be treated like any other person. That is basic human responsibility and morality to treat fellow beings as themselves and all of us who insult or make fun of those who are not like us should be brought before law. But, sexual perversion is not natural like hermaphrodites. Hermaphrodites are born that way, homosexuals are not.
Though nothing has been proved about homosexuality being natural or unnatural, this is my view. Because sex is an instinct and it is natural for male and female species to have this instinct to reproduce, but, homosexual relationship doesn't even serve that purpose of reproduction and seems merely a sexual deviation. This thing is becoming a big issue in the west and I think such care-free culture and perversion is spreading across to conservative and traditional countries like India somehow, just like the advertising of use of contraception. Some NGOs' urge to reduce AIDS in India is very, very appreciable but, instead of trying to stop people from going to red light areas for extra-marital sex, these NGOs are asking them to use contraceptives and continue this immorality. I do not know much about the laws regarding prostitution in India but, I do know that is highly ambiguous, it is neither legal nor illegal. The sex workers should be given other job opportunities or quotas or whatever it is called to improve their quality of life instead of selling their body. Well, that opens a whole other can of worms. I will probably write about this in another entry. I mean, instead of giving quotas simply based on castes (rather than financial status) for education and job, interest should be diverted towards these issues of brothels. Again, this caste quotas thing is another issue for me. May be I'll have another entry on that too, but, for now this is what I think about queer in India.

Chandrayaan-I, II and then Indian on the moon.

The Indian Space Research Organization has been surprising the world with remarkable achievements ever since it was started. Seriously, I wasn't really aware of such a department in India until my 7th or 8th grade when my long time ol' buddy Ravi mentioned about it. Honestly, I am still not aware of all of ISRO's accomplishments and history but, I do know that we ( you, me and ISRO as Indians) are soon going to launch our first vehicle on the moon to study it. Wow! this is a proud moment. Just over 50 years of independance we have advanced so much in space research, which took some of the other countries several years. Our scientists' zeal in space research has resulted in what we are going to call Chandrayaan-I. Obviously, the the roman number I that follows the name of the project ensures a plan on sequels, though not how many. India is one of the 7 countries to put it's property in space independantly on it's own indigenously developed launch vehicles. It's barely 2 more months before we put one on the moon :-).

The news about our manned space odessey is in the article on the right. Sure we don't want to be far behind huh? Let's go whoop a#$ machis.

Is there selfishness in this case?

Came across this piece of news a few days ago. Although I agree that the parents do not seem to want to let the baby suffer due to its handicap, I feel like it is selfishness on the part of the parents to just kill it. If they can truly love and take care of a baby even if it is handicapped in any way, there is no way the child will feel bad anytime in his/her life. After all, that is the basic responsibility of any parent towards his/her child, to love UNCONDITIONALLY. What if they had not known that the baby will have such problems?

It is so sad that a lot of Indians too are supporting the abortion instead of saving the baby. People talk about legal rights and stuff. Hey, you first have to obey the law to claim more for your legal rights. How many of us bribe govt. officials, don't pay taxes, produce fake medical prescriptions, among a whole lot of other stuff?

I personally feel that it is more like killing a baby to abort. Just because it is not out of the womb it is not another human being? Study shows that the human embryo becomes a seperate being right at the moment of fertilization. Above all, nobody has any right to kill another human being. Why do high courts and supreme courts do no excercise capital punishments and instead impose life imprisonment as the highest verdict in most cases? Because, they do not want to punish people with death. It is morally wrong to punish with corporal punishments. Only God has the right to take or give life because He is the only Potent Almighty who creates life.

I appreciate the Mumbai HC for their decision and above all the Indian constitution that made a law that allows abortion only in case of danger to either the mother's or the baby's life. Abortion should not be allowed in any other case. It is not a right to kill an innocent and helpless new creation even before it breathes the world's air. I was appalled when I saw this among Chennai-ites. Though science has taken the world by storm in medicine, it is morality that counts at the end of the day. It is not moral to kill. Why don't we just start killing every other handicapped, mentally challenged, or AIDS infected Indian citizens and justify ourselves saying we are "concerned about the quality of their lives?" They are leading a miserable life anyway , aren't they?

iPhone smaller??? Man!!! these guys just won't stop.

The perpetual shrinking of Apple products and shrinking all types of Apple products is just continuing. Yeah, you guessed it right... iPhone NANO. Though this is rumor started about a month ago, there were no credible, near-to-credible sources to give a positive sign. But, looks like now there is. Patents for iPhone NANO's idea have been rumored. But most sources are from the UK. The price seems to be a few bucks more than the 3G version but, looks like it may be available at that price without having to buy an AT&T contract (needs proof).

I personally think iPhone is just a little off beat for today. I don't think people need such a complex, all-touch-screen device. I'd be just too scared even to carry it around sacred of dropping it or scratching it. If you put on a protective cover, it just spoils the look. I dunno how others feel about this but to me, it just loses it's looks when covered with something. I have an iPod nano 3G, I got the stainless steel back scratched in just 2 weeks and I regreted it. Now, I have a leather cover around it. It doesn't even look like an Apple iPod anymore. Apple's design and style is one of the reasons why it is popular but it is just too risky to leave your device bare... a single scratch spoils the look. Anyway, back to the iPhone. A smaller version of it is rumoured to be coming out around Christmas. Wonder how the 3G version is going to survive since the possible differences will be only in sizes, both physically and memory-wise.

It is sometimes irritating to me when people use too much of chat/text message/SMS lingo in e-mails. It is acceptable to me when you are chatting to me or sending me an SMS but, even in your e-mail? In the screen-shot of the e-mail that you see on the side, you will find a very bizzare langage used by one of my friends. I have edited the rest of the texts for privacy and left only the most outrageous one. This guy used this so religiously that he eventually forgot the real english. He forgot how to spell "FRIENDS" since he is so used to "FRENS" instead. How pathetic? I do use the chat lingo but, only when I chat. Some people just take it too far. Let me know if you understand what he is trying to say. The most funny part was the word "thin", take a look at the picture to understand. I was tolerant to this in the beginning but, I do not know why, I am starting to hate it. Type in english dude, I don't wanna see how talented you are in your conservative complex word formation.

Here's an article from the Wall street journal, a very good example of such a tragedy. Hmmm(sigh)...

The forgotten Classic

The Hindustan Motor Contessa. Though it was a remake of the UK based General Motor's Vauxhall Victor (a fact that I didn't know until today) it used to be the Beast of the roads and still is considered to be one. Many refer to their cars as "baby" (in a feminine gender), nothing wrong, but if I were to own one of these beasts, it will definitely be called a 'rogue'.

I wasn't really interested in cars back then but I still liked the long body and rogue looks of this beast. Easily the 'macha*' version of the western muscle cars. With its 5-speed manual transmission, 1817 cc displacement, and 75 bhp look reasonable for its vintage. After all, for the Indian roads, it seems far reasonable. This beast is still a hearthrob and obsession for some in the country. Unfortunately, the Company stopped production in Chennai in 2001 and people have to go to other states to get one today. It would be a total a#$-whoop, like a sip of refreshing panneer soda in the Chennai summer, like a bite of Saravana Bhavan's Masal Dosai after a tiring shopping in Renganathan street, like getting off a Chennai MTC, if Hindustan Motors came up with a new version of this rogue in the future. I would love to own one.

* - macha is the most commonly used word in the sub-urbs and college commmunities of today. Though it technically stands for either 'sister's husband' or 'wife's brother', it is the most popular endearing word between friends. I use this word especially because I am tired of seeing "Desi" everywhere to refer to Indians. No offense, I do respect the national language, but I prefer calling my people 'machas' to 'desis'. whoop-on machis and mamus.... varta?

Dialogues in Tamil movies that contradict with the movie.

Yaaradi Nee Mohini... I watched this movie today with my parents and my sister's in-laws. Since I was going to be with them only for 3 days I thought of just ling around doing nothing and spend the whole day in the couch. The movie was a USUAL one, love story (not any new experiment like 23rd Pulikesi). But there was this one line that the young character Vaasu (Dhanush) says which was totally weird. He says, "idhu enna business-nu nenachikittu irukkiya? Vaazhkai di, (snapping his fingers) ippideenrathukkulla odi poidum" when Nayanthara (I forgot her character's name) tells him that she loves him just the night before her marriage with Cheenu, Vasu's close friend. Do you guys see anything weird in it? I don't know about you but I do. He says to her that business decisions are harder take longer time than a decision regarding your life and spouse. Studying his response to the girl's request, it seems like he has considered life's most vital decision (choosing your spouse) a simple 3 minute thought just because life's too short (of course, don't businesses last longer than an average person's life time?). He wanted her to make a decision righ there when he proposed to him instead of taking some time to think (which anyone in business would do) about other things like talking to your parents etc. I dunno why, but this is the only thing that caught my attention among other flaws like Vaasu completing a big software project in one night's time without even knowing how to read english properly, Vaasu's reaction/behaviour/rowdy attitude towards Nayanthaara's thatha when he finally tells everyone about his involvement with Nayanthaara and still talking to the old man with respect later and a few more.

PROs and JOEs - Thompson Vs. Kimbo

It was a usual Saturday evening for me. I spent most of the day watching TV and checking my yahoo inbox desperately for any new mail. I don't remember what time it was but I was browsing through the TV channels and there I saw a familiar face from long time ago, Kimbo Slice. I first watched on Youtube challenging and fighting people in the streets. He was a rugged street fighter. His oppnents were left with swollen and bleeding faces at the end of the match. His blows were so brutal that nobody, not even one street warrior escaped without a bleeding part on his body. So, coming to the current issue, Kimbo had joined the professional fighting league called MMA. He was going to fight this guy called James Thompson. James Thompson had a swollen ear, probably from a previous fight, which looked totally funny on him. As the fight began, Kimbo, who had won a few matches in earlier MMA maches in short times seemed to be struggling with the 6'5" white hulk James Thompson. James Thompson used amazing techniques to make Kimbo feel insecure. In the first 2 rounds Kimbo was pinned to the ground so many times by James Thompson but he did manage to get to his feet and deliver a few punches that left Thompson with cuts on his cheek bones and forehead. Thompson, proved his experience and skills by repeatedly bringing Kimbo to the ground and throwing some fists that would have caused heavy concussions to Kimbo. In the third round, Thompson had the experienced street fighter but amateure MMA rookie Kimbo, in a helpless position gifting elbows and fists to Kombo's hairy face for about 1 minute, leaving Kimbo praying to his ancestors. I was really expecting James Thompson to finally hold the street fighter down and call it a day. But, suddenly something happens. Kimbo manages to get back on feet and punch right on Thompson's cauliflower ear. Thompson starts to bleed but doesn't stop. But, the over-cautious, 'self-righteous' referee comes and pulls Thompson away to save him. Thompson is taken aback and tries to push the referee off but, in vain. The referee calls the match and declares Kimbo victorious though Kimbo is already beat as heck and lying on the ground. Thompson would have easily overcome Kimbo in few more minutes but the supposedly, supposed-to-be-unbiased referee inerferes and gives Kimbo the match. What the heck? I read on some other articles that it was a set-up to just create a hype and advertise CBS channel, which is also very possible. I mean, Thompson has had 9 K.O.s and 4 submissions dude. Anyways, that was something I wanted criticise.

Why differentiate Catholics from Christians?

Hmmm... I have been trying to be a true CHRISTIAN (there's a reason behind that capitalization) for about 3 years now, trying to live that CHRISTIAN life and change my ways to comply to certain values I hold in accordance with the CATHOLIC CHURCH. Okay, now, why did I capitalize the two words? Cos, I don't understand how or why Catholics are NOT Christians. I go to a bible study at school and and I am the only Catholic Christian there, everyone else says thery are Christians and that I am a Catholic. What? When did we Catholics become NOT christians? I believe anyone who follows Christ is a Christian, I mean, isn't that the true meaning? That's why we call the religion Christianity and under that comes Catholicism and Protestant christianity(which some people do not agree with now a days). I would prefer differentiating denominations as 'Catholics and non-Catholics' to 'Catholics and Christians'. I am not against non-catholics because my friends in this group are some of the best people in faith so dedicated to learn and live that life which Jesus wanted us to live. I know it's not wrong to use such words but I just am unable to accept it when people say they are christians and we are catholics as if catholics are not christians. Well, just wanted to get this off my chest and there it goes.
I am also heart broken at that fact that some Catholics don't even know about catholicism which makes it easier for some aggressive anti-catholic men/women to attack cathlics whenever they get a chance. I remember one incident that happened a year ago when I went out on a summer BBQ at a local park with some of my bible study friends. We met some other friends of one of our friends from his church. We had good food and played football (not the american version of rugby but the real football which is the number one sport in the world ;-) ). And then there is this guys who comes to know that I am a catholic and asks me why we pray to the saint and Mother Mary. I was not prepared for such questions during that time and I just got away with vague answers like "it's not wrong to ask someone to pray for you". Then, the guy asked where in the Bible does it say that we should pray to saints, I could not answer that. I don't remember how that conversation ended but today I realize that it is the tradition which passes along generation by generation (from the first ever christians, the Catholics) due to which we pray to saints. St. Paul clearly says in his second letter to the Thessalonians that we should "...hold fast to the traditions that we were taught..." by them. But I do not regret that incident because because of that I came back home to search for answers and my interest in apologetics came to life. I am still a learner and I would never do this to offend the non-catholics but to defend ,clearly, for which the word apologetics stands. Now thinking about it, I remember this that I read in some website, "where in the bible does it say that we should look into the bible for reasons for catholic/non-catholic practices?". This would then, become a paradox by itself because we can't search into the bible to find answer to whether we should search the bible to find answers or not. Did that make any sense? I hope so. Anyways, I believe all the people are God's children and it doesn't matter what denomination we belong to, to be a Christian. Peace.

After a long time

So, after the Greatest Book Never Written won the $250 gift card, I haven't had time to get back to this blog. Wow! it's been a long time now since my last post. I spent most of it on buying junk food from the campus store, honey buns, frozen pizzas, energy drinks to keep me up during finals week, and midnight snack. I gained about 2 inches in 4 months. Man! all that sugar.
Then, comes the good news. I got internship offer and I flew to Massachusetts, all the way to MA from CA; coast-to-coast (remember that bo-band?). Anyways, it was a looo......ong travel, 8 hours. Found a place in Marlborough, amazing host family. It's been good so far, wonderful work experience in my very field of interest.
