Vaanaram Ayiram
People said its not good. I went with the expectations that it won’t be good. But i never thought it could be this worse.
First half is so torturous that the second half makes you feel that its much better relatively.
Yes. Suriya has put in the efforts. The cinematography is okay. But where is the screen play Mr.Goutham Menon?
3 romances in one movie. Cant take it. I went out twice in the first half and filled my stomach with rolls and coke. I even contemplated going home in the interval but as i had an impending lunch plan after the movie with friends i stayed back.
The title of the post is not typo. If simran can give a dialogue in the end and justify the title of the movie even i can give a punch and justify the title of the post
You could even face Vaanaram Ayiram(Thousand Monkeys in Tamil) but not the movie’s first half.
And if you liked Adiye Kolluthey
listen this,its from this that the song’s riff is flicked from :
Batch file to loop through folders and list the files in them
set source_path=D:\test set include=*.txt FOR /R %source_path% %%G IN (%include%) DO ( ECHO "%%G">> filenames.txt )
Parle G
Parle G used to be my daily dose of biscuit during my exam days. I can never sit in a place and just be with books. So while reading i would drink tea and eat one full packet of Parle G. I would prepare a big chombu(Mini-jar) of Tea for myself,buy a packet of Parle G, dip each biscuit in the tea and eat it. You could visualize the scene : Me sitting in a position thats next best thing to lying flat on the floor,having the tea in one hand, a biscuit in another hand,Biscuit packet beside me, and the book on the floor. When i have to turn the page i would first finish my biscuit and then turn the page,pick another biscuit. So my exam preparations were as if i was reading a novel in my retired life.
I used to think Parle G is an International biscuit. With the photo of that chubby girl i was deceived to believe that its an English Brand,
Then in 11th standard when i started learning French,I came to know that Parle is a verb in French for “to speak”. So Speak G. Or Say G. Is it something like Say Cheese? Whatever it was it sounded cryptic enough for me to think that its a french brand.
This was all before i could lay my hands on the Big G,thats the Google.
Now that i Googled and found out that Parle is an Indian company i owe a Parle G biscuit packet to somebody from my school with whom i had a bet that its a foreign brand.
Command to find a file pattern and delete it
If you connect a virus affected pendrive to your linux machine you would see .exe files. Those are the viruses.
Fortunately you can clean the pen drive in Linux and hence use the pen drive back in windows using the following command:
find . -name *.exe | xargs /bin/rm -f
Brain storming on a Sci-Fi plot
The scientists of Cern are bombarding a proton to another. News says they are trying to recreate the Big-bang. How much of science do i know about this? Not much. But still lets try an make a Sci-Fi plot with this.
Supply just enough carbon hydrogen and oxygen for the organisms to develop. If not some other, life system to develop.
Accelerated Organism Evolution Program(AOEP): Where the natural process by which we evolved is emulated albeit in a rapid time so that the unnecessary processes are trimmed down.
AOEP aims at creating new species of animals.
The general sci fi plots are the newerlife system is fighting for whatever reason with human beings on earth.
Lets not do this.
What if the creatures have more senses than us. May be say 8 senses. We will never know what the other two senses are. They need not infact have the same six senses as ours.
They would exist in a world with bigger concerns than us.
And we would be working/living without even knowing their concerns. Just like how ant’s wouldn’t know anything about inflation,which is a big concern for 6 sense beings like us.
What if ‘the survival of the fittest’ Darwin principle doesnt hold good for this new life system. What if they dont require food to live. Like the stars they start with huge stored energy. Emit their energy continously and die as a dwarf.
We would trying to make friends with the new system to harness their stored energy. But would we? After all we are not harnessing the solar power to the fullest extent.
This isnt going anywhere. One more dropped story plot
The last hero
How i wish,how i wish he scores this century in the last test against Australia.
Update: He didn’t score the century and got a duck in second innings.
