My Experiments with Life

Hi all.. I finished reading "Anne Frank:The diary of a young girl". For more info visit this site . Oh my God, what was that feeling I got when I read that book,it was just a diary of a young girl, but when it hits you that this was the diary of a girl who was gonna die a horrible death shortly, before even turning 16, it was different. And I used to hate Hitler, before too. Bu the hatred has intensified after reading the book, especially the afterword of the book. What non-sense, anti-semitism, holocaust and all. Next I've started the book Autobiography of Lee Iacocca. The project is going on well. As a chill out, we had fun at Rama's party yesterday at The Residency.Shall post pics of the party, I got a few of them already, but I dont look good in any of them(Ahem, the lighting is not good in those pics u see, so lemme wait for other pics to come) By the way, I've put up a new poll.Do check out. What are the advantages or plus points of Windows Longhorn over XP....

Here I'll present the next 4 hymns from Vaaranamaayiram THIRD STANZA Indiran Ullitta Devar Kuzham Ellam Vandu Irundu Ennai Magal Pesi Mandirittu Mandirak Kodi Udutti Mana Malai Antari Suttak Kanak Kanden Tozhi!

Hi all.. Something irritating... In my pc, I got both win98 and winXP installed. And sometime for like 3 months, I dint have any anti-virus software on my machine, but I was using the internet as usual. And when I finally installed anti-virus and scanned my machine, it had some 500 viruses, worms, trojans and lot of variants. I cleaned up the system.Now this a bit of history I find that in XP, when I connect to the net(I still use a dial-up connection), it connects, but doesn't let me do anything with the connection, as in if i try to go to any website, I would get the message,"please connect to internet" or so. Even yahoo messenger and MSN messenger were not connecting, while I am connected to the net. Strangely , when i reboot and startup in win98 and connect ot net, I would be perfectly able to browse, my chat client also would connect, et, al. So I dint bother as somehow I am able to access the net. But, you see, win98 is not something I would call cool, when co...

The second stanza of Vaaranamayiram is, Naalai vaduvai manam enru naalittu Paalai kamugu parisudaip pandar kizh Kolari madhavan govindan enban or Kaalai pugudak kanak kanden tozhi! naan Translation: Tomorrow is the day that has been fixed for the wedding; I saw a handsome young youth, who goes by the names Narasimhan, Madhavan & Govindan, enter the wedding dias, that is decorated with betel-nut trees, in order to participate in the nischitartha (engagement) ceremony." I found the translation and the hymn from this website

[UPDATED] Hi all.. Back from Bangalore..ooops, ,Bengalooru with a cold...Will write about my Bangy trip later.... Now, the holy month of Maarkazhi started on 16.12.2005...an important month for vaishnavites. This month would be marked by early morning recitals from the holy verses of Thirupaavai , written by Shri Aandal . And this month is supposedly ideal for young girls to pray to get a good husband. The girls would go in the early morning around 5A.M to temple and anoint Lord Ganesha , incarnated under the tree in the temple, with water and perform a small puja, lighting the lamp. Then 30 stanzas of Thirupaavai would be sung in front of Lord Vishnu and the Nachiyaar, followed by other bhajans. I used to perform this puja till I came to 2nd year in college. We shifted our house then, and somehow I let go off the tradition, too bad. Anyway my mom performs this puja at home for me and my sis till date. Of all the Bhajans, I absolutely love Vaaranamayiram, the sixth of Shri Aandal...

The other day I read Ajit's post on his stint with dancing , it got me thinking about mine... I should tell that dancing and me are like, say, simply a cat and rat or any fancy antagonistic comparison you can come up with...I always feel that when I dance, it looks like a guy trying to imitate girl's way of dancing!!I dont have those graceful movements that a dancing damsel should have. I still remember, when I was in 8th Std, that was in the year 1997, the year of golden jubilee year of our independence..and our school, Alvernia MHSS, was supposed to give a performance in the celebrations in VOC park in front of some state minister, collector and some bigshots and a lot of crowd..When I heard that some sort of dance was involved, I promptly crawled back from the event. But my physical instructions teacher, Mrs.Thangam, told me" child, why are you not having an enthusiasm in this? This is our independence's golden jubilee...imagine when our independence's centenar...
