Bandhra-Worli Sea bridge has just been opened


The UPA president Mrs.Sonia Gandhi opened the Bandhra-Worli sea bridge to public. There was huge traffic jam in Mahim, Mumbai. Daily 1.25 lakh vehicles were crossing the area. It was decided to construct a bridge over sea in the year 1990. In 2004 Hindustan constructions and Ajith Gulabsand jointly started the work, and completed now.
Usually it will take 60-90 minutes to reach the west mumbai from south mumbai. Now this time has been reduced to only 7-8 minutes. Fuel is also consumed.

The picture shows the opening of bandra-worli bridge.

LG 700E Monitor problem

Recently i had to service a 17" LG 700E Color CRT Monitor. I approached a computer service company in coimbatore and they diagnosed and told me the N.O.T (NO-Volt) coil is the problem. They told it will cost 650 to change the NOT coil. What is the purpose of NOT coil? Why it costs this much? Anybody have any idea?

Masilamani, Tamil Movie - Review and comments

Yesterday we (priya and me) watched the movie 'MASILAMANI' at savitha theatre, somanur. We went for the 1st show and entered the theatre at 6.00 pm sharp. Years ago when i went to movie last time ticket was sold at 10 rupees for balcony. Now they sold it for 25//- (only 20 was printed on the ticket).

By the time we entered the theatre court scene was going on. Nakul was convicted by the judge for beating.

Masilamani (Nakul) was educated (engineering), unemployed youth living with his sister. He was known as Masi. He has concerns for society and help people around him. The first court scene confirms this. Nakul beat some rowdys who harrassed an mentally retarded girl in a bus. He was given imprisonment by the judge. But the girls mother tell the judge the truth and argued masi was a good person. The film starts thus.

Dhivya (sunaina) belongs to a middle class family. She works in 'Nadanalaya', a dance training school. She prepares for a dance competition. Meanwhile in Masi's apartment there was drainage problem and overflow of sewage across all houses. So he met the area MLA along with colony people. The MLA, a money lover, did not want to meet them and his secretary told them the MLA would visit the area by evening. The MLA did not visit and by evening angry Masi & co. went to the auditorium where the dance competition was about to begin. Pepople ran outside as the group try to beat the MLA. Divya see all this and thinks masi is a rowdy.

Later Masi met Divya and fall in love with her. He expressed his love and divya promptly ignored his love.

He make plans with his friends. They took divyas dog and later told them Masi saved the dog from water lorry. Thus Masi got entrance to divya's house and was known as Mani.

Meanwhile a relative of Divyas family took charge as Police Inspector to the area. The inspector (villain) beat a woman (his head constables, wife) when they made a road blockade for water. Masi asked the inspector to ask 'sorry' to the lady. Thus masi become a enemy to the Inspector. He wants to take revenge on masi.

Divya met Mani and was shocked to know he was same as masi. Masi convinced her he was Mani and not Masi. The inspector repeatedly tries to prove him Masi. Meanwhile Masi help a girl (Divya's student) to undergo heart surgery. They fall in love atlast. Inspector also wants to marry Divya. Divya promptly refused the offer.

Inspectory took divya to masi's home to prove he is not Mani. Masi acts as dead man. Suddenly the girl came and started crying for him. (she should not have shocks as she was operated on the heart). So masi wake up and told he is alive. What then?
Divya accepts his true love and they are married.

The song Oh divya divya, Dora Dora were good.

Comedy track was done by baskar and karuna. Baskar want to become a star life rajni kanth and karuna used this and exploited him for money.

My rating is 6 out 10 for this movie.

Masilamani Tamil Movie - Is it worth viewing?

After our marriage we have not seen any movies (before marriage we viewed 'Naan Kadavul' and 'Ayan'). Now its almost one month and I have decided to watch 'Masilamani'. Nakul and Sunaina are the hero and heroine. Directed by R.N.R Manohar and music by Imman. The film has a good reception here in coimbatore. In somanur it has been showing for more than a week now, in savitha theatre. I have not seen the Tamil film Masilamani yet. Once i saw i will post reviews so you can decide whether to go or not. I think i have listened to some some songs of this film. MP3 format songs are available all over the internet. I think the film will become a hit of the year 2009.

Mayandi Kudumbathar also is receiving welcome in tamilnadu.

Mystery behind jacksons death

Pop music superstar Michael jackson died yesterday. He died at an age of 50. It is alleged that he died of cardiac arrest or heart attack. Like other popular celeberities, jacksons death has become a mystery. The death news of jackson gave shock to millions of his fans worldwide. Jackson released his first music album in 1972. In 1982 his 'Thriller' album became a superhit. He underwent many plastic surgeries to improve his appearance and complexion. This led to too many complications later. He also involved in many sexual scandals (homosex with minor boys). Due to repeated surgeries he had to depend on drugs and narcotics to relieve pain. It is suspected that too much medication has lead to his death. Many believe that there is secret and mystery behind his death. Los angeles police has started investigation on his death. Auto spy will be performed on his body to reveal truths.

Jackson ranked alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. May his soul rest in peace.

Troubleshoot DELL Desktop (Disk Failure)

Few days ago i was called by a customer with DELL PC. The reported problem was the system could be boot through hard disk. The familiar 'DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK' was displayed. The common reason for this error message is the problem with boot partition / boot sector which iniates the booting process. On encountering these problems we normally check the connection of Hard Disk and IDE cable and power cable. Some times this will fix the problem for old and worn Hard Disks. FDISK /MBR rarely works.

BIOS was not able to get the boot secotor. The hard disk was giving a tick, tack sound which indicates that the disk is dead and no longer usable. The PC was DELL make of 2000. I think the model is GX200. It runs on Intel Pentium III 733 MHz processor. The memory was 256 MB RDRAM. Two modules of 128 MB chips were found on two slots.

The simple and only solution was a replacement of Hard Disk. Nowadays Hard Disks use SATA interface for data transfer. The old IDE technology is obsolete. New motherboards did not even have the IDE connectors. But the IDE Disks are still available on markets to support older systems. I consulted my hardware vendor and they confirmed 160 GB is not supported and only 80 GB or less is supported. I got a 80GB seagate at 2050 from a coimbatore wholesaler. The machine accepted the DISK after some BIOS configs.

Another problem is some noise from speaker at irregular intervals. I could not figure out the reason for the noise. I suspect the sound card and its electricals. The old chip and its electronics is giving this weired sounds. I have to check it today. I have planned to check the speaker on a different system. If the speaker is ok the sound card is the culprit.

16th Day of Periyappa's death was observed

Yesterday we observed the 16th day of periyappa's death. He died on 8th jun, 2009 by a road accident at somanur. Yesterday they went to bhavani-koodudhurai sangamam to do the rituals. We do these rituals to appease the dead persons atma and to get them mukthi or deva loka. On the 16th day of death a persons astral body is dissolved completely and he no longer exists in material/physical shpere.

We know that upon the death of the body the mind cease to exist. (I remember a dialogue from 'The Matrix'-'The body can not exist without mind'). The human beings are composed of five states or bodies namely physical, mental, astral (i forgot others).

The subject is an elaborate one and i will discuss it in a leisurely manner.

The 16th day rituals are done by prokithars in bhavani sangamam. In Gounder (Kongu vellalar) marriage and death rituals and seers are done by vannan (washerman) and navithan (who maintain saloons). The third day would be elaborate one with poojas in cemetry and pongal at well and slokas told by him.

I remember what slokas were told to me for my fathers dead.

'Thahappanar irandhadharkaka tharana varusham, thai masam 13 aam thethi dharma kallai Gangai le vidukirom, Kaveri le vidukirom, kirshna nathi le vidukirom theemai poi, nanmai vandhu sorkanj chera, kailasha morcham undaka.'

It is beleived that dead person has to cross rivers of fire (Agni) in his way to motcha. To help him accomplish we guide him using manthras/slokas. We give him padayal (food and water) for hunger and thirst. The food is taken by kakkai (crows) which will transer it to the dead man.

So many cultures fllows different methods and customs during death ceremonies. It is subject for research scholars for those studying socialogy/humanity.

Legacy of prabhakaran

Late LTTE chief has left a legacy. Some people still don't believe his death. It is no doubt he still lives in the hearts and minds of thousands of Tamil people. But his physical body is dead and decomposed to atoms. History has not seen a ferocious and and fearless leader as prabhaharan. He choose a wrong path for a right goal. Prabhakaran should not be taken as role model by youngsters. Eeelman now is what was it 35 years ago. Praha's 35 years struggle has earned nothing but a cost of hundreds of thousands of lives. I think about Mahatma Gandhi in this moment. He fought against the British Empire, the Empire for which the sun never sets. Gandhi finally succeeded and got independence for India. His method of Ahimsa and Non-Violence are hailed by many people in the world. People like martin luther king of America, Nelson Mandela of South Africa followed Gandhian ways of Freedom movements.

Now the choice for srilankan Tamils are Ghandian methods. International community did not help Tamils when the srilankan army surrounded them shelled mercilessly. They have done so many human rights violations and war crimes. The international community believed that LTTE were using them as human shields. LTTE has been branded as terrorist organization by many countries after september, 11 attack on the USA. So they lost support from major powers and their weapons supply was almost blocked. Now the srilankans can not kill and destroy Tamils in the name of war on Terror. LTTE is defunct now. The world community will not tolerate such actions now. Tamils now should strengthen their political goals. They must press on the government to give more powers to Tamils in North and eastern srilanka. If the Government were not yielding they should take to problem to international community in a political way.

May God bless ezham Tamils.

What is honeymoon? My ooty pics






A honeymoon is the traditional holiday taken by newlyweds (or between two people in an early harmonious period in a relationship) to celebrate their marriage in intimacy and seclusion. Today, honeymoons by Westerners are sometimes celebrated somewhere exotic or otherwise considered special and romantic. This is wikipedia definition for honeymoon.

Anyway you don't have to spend a lot and goto long trips to celebrate a honeymoon. You can choose a place nearest to you, a hill station is preferable. You need not be hurry to enjoy a honeymoon. After wedding ceremony you will be definetly tired and exhausted. You can take few days rest at home (or at brides home :)). First consult with your spouse. Ask her opinion about the place. Then look for a decent hotel/resort/holiday inn. Search the web and read the reviews. There are so many good hotels at cheap price in all tourist locations like ooty, kodaikannal (Guys, iam in Tamilnadu and talking about this region). You can opt for kerala tourism locations like thekkadi, munnar etc., These are excellent spots to enjoy honeymoon. You can book online for hotel rooms. The following sites can help you. India is developed a lot and more people can afford a high standard of living with good economy. Thanks to congress and manmohan for this revolution. The new rahul gandhi regime will bring much prosperity to indian people. Most people got credit cards and most middle class people have car. Thank to maruti udyog for small car revolution with its maruti 800. TATA's nano is the next expectation in this line.

pathu porutham - marriage compatibility


'Thirumanam sorgathil nichayikkappadukirathu', is a Tamil proverb. Meaning of this proverb is 'Marriages are made in heaven'. In India especially in Tamilnadu marriage is an elaborate ceremony involving many people and done in course of months. One of the important factor deciding the compatibility between the bride and groom is Horoscope matching or jathaka porutham or pathu proutham.

Horoscope Or Jatakam is position of the nine planets surya, chandra, pudhan, sukkiran, chevvai, guru, sani, ragu and kethu. This is cast at the time of birth of a person. Horoscopes plays a vital role for forecasting future, marriage matching etc.

In fixing a marriage Horoscopes of the bride and Groom are analyzed. Seventh house in a horoscope is represents the spouse. It tells about the spouse and his/her character etc. So the seventh house should not be afflicted. Seventh house/bhava is called 'kalathra sthana'. Second house represents family. This is also considered. Affliction means occupation of malicious (phabi) planets like ragu, kethu, saturn and sevvai. sevvai dosham / mangal dosham is caused by mars(sevvai) in houses 2,4,7,8 or 12th house. When bride has mangal dosha groom should also have the dosha. Thus it is rectified or neutralized. Another dosha is Raghu/kethu. Raghu and kethu are not planets but nodes/shadows. When these nodes occupy houses 1 or 2 this is a dosha.

pathu porutham is based on nakshatra constellation. Depending on the position of moon/chandra at the time of birth nakshatra is calculated. There are 27 nakshatras.

You can use a panchang like vasan thirukanitha panchangam to calculate the match for yourself. The pathu poruthams are,
1. Dhinam
2. Ganam
3. Mahendram
4. Sthree theerkam
5. Yoni
6. Rasi
7. Rasi athipathi
8. Vasiam
9. Rachu
10. Vethai

Out this Rachu/Mangalya porutham is most important. Dhinam, Ganam, Mahendram, Yoni are other important matches.

I have a software application for marriage match. Astro Guru horoscope software analyze two horoscopes and gives a match report. If you want a match analysis and detailed chart analysis please call my number:

New order from Raghvenk

We have got new software order from Raghvenk Industries today. Raghvenk Industries is a Coimbatore based company involved in FMCG distribution. They are stockists for Big Brands like Hindustan Lever (unilever), Dabur India, BPL soft Energy and Kwality walls ice creams.

Our new software will be developed using MS .NET and SQL Database. Billing and Stock management are the primary functionality needed. We are asked to finish the project work in a weeks time.

I am currently working on the Astrology package for Bangalore client. The Varshaphala part is pending and the client is urging me to complete quickly. I hope to finish it in two days. Varshphala once appeared to me very fascinating. Now i feel it not very accurate. Different software programs gave different readings for my horoscope. Tajika or Annual Horoscopy is followed only in North India and not popular in South India. If the system is accurate and give reliable predictions i can use it here and popularize the same. There are not many books on Tajika or Varshaphala. I found a good book 'A Textbook of Varshaphala' by Dr. K S Charak. Charak authored some of the best books on Vedic Astrology.

This is first book on annual horoscopy or Varshaphala (the Tajika system) which is fully illustrated.

The sixteen Tajika yogas which form the backbone of successful predictions on the basis of annual horoscopy have been most clearly explained.

Specialized ares of the Tajika system as the Muntha the Varshesha, the Tri Pataki Chakra, the Sahams,etc., have all been dealt with in details.

Covers almost all the important questions a modern man asks in the hectic whirl of his professional, personal and social life.

To be able to see with clarity how a particular year will be for you is to see the lines along which you should plan your activities, postpone some of them, get more deeply involved some of them.

Dr. Charak M.S is an Indian, working as a surgeon in Delhi.

The Great Indian Railways

Indian Railways is one of the largest employer in the world with more than 1.5 million employees on its role. I carries more than 11 million passengers & 1 million tonnes of freight per day. It has tracks of more than 62,000 kms. Every journey is enjoyable and memorable if you follow and adhere to the rules and guidelines provided by the railways. For passengers safety railways provides various measures including Railway Protection Force.

The History of Indian Railways:

The novel plan for the introduction of a rail system, transformed the whole history of India. This innovative plan was first proposed in 1832; however no auxiliary actions were taken for over a decade. In the year 1844, private entrepreneurs were allowed to launch a rail system by Lord Hardinge, who was the Governor-General of India. By the year 1845, two companies were formed and the East India Company was requested to support them in the matter.

The credit from the UK investors led to the hasty construction of a rail system over the next few years. On 22nd Dec' 1851, the first train came on the track to carry the construction material at Roorkee in India. With a passage of one and a half years, the first passenger train service was introduced between Bori Bunder, Bombay and Thana on the providential date 16th Apr' 1853. This rail track covered a distance of 34 kms (21 miles). Ever since its origin, the rail service in India never turned back.

The British Government approached private investors and persuaded them to join the race with a system that would promise an annual return of 5% during the early years of operation. Once finished, the company would be transferred under the Government ownership, yet the operational control will be enjoyed by the original company. In 1880, the rail network acquired a route mileage of about 14,500 km (9,000 miles), mostly working through Bombay, Madras and Calcutta (three major port cities).

By 1895, India had started manufacturing its own locomotives. In no time, different kingdoms assembled their independent rail systems and the network extended to the regions including Assam, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh. In 1901, a Railway Board was formed though the administrative power was reserved for the Viceroy, Lord Curzon. The Railway Board worked under the guidance of the Deptt of Commerce and Industry. It was comprised of three members - a Chairman, a Railway Manager and an Agent respectively.

For the very first time in its history, the Railways instigated to draw a neat profit. In 1907, most of the rail companies were came under the government control. Subsequently, the first electric locomotive emerged in the next year. During the First World War, the railways were exclusively used by the British. In view of the War, the condition of railways became miserable. In 1920, the Government captured the administration of the Railways and the linkage between the funding of the Railways and other governmental revenues was detached.

With the Second World War, the railways got incapacitated since the trains were diverted to the Middle East. On the occasion of India's Independence in 1947, the maximum share of the railways went under the terrain of Pakistan. On the whole, 42 independent railway systems with thirty-two lines were merged in a single unit and were acknowledged as Indian Railways. The existing rail networks were forfeited for zones in 1951 and 6 zones were formed in 1952. With 1985, the diesel and electric locomotives took the place of steam locomotives. In 1995, the whole railway reservation system was rationalized with computerization.

Railways are divided into five zones namely Central Indian Railway Eastern Railway,
Northern Railway, Southern Railway, Western Railway.
