Well, this one is kool and entertaining. If you watch this movie with your close friends then you may start feeling something for someone. never mind.

To be frank, its a good movie with lots of humor. There is nothing new in the story but the way it has been executed is awesome, really cute, I can say “old wine in new bottle”. I guess by now almost all might have enjoyed the songs, so no need to speak about them.

Usually, if I go to a movie, I look for two things, one a ‘good message’ like what we get from ‘Taare Zameen Par’ or ‘Rang de Basanthi’. if there is no content like that then at least good laughter. And from this film you won’t get the first one but the later one is there for sure.

When it comes to acting, I give full marks to imran’s mother and father (father is having less words to speak though). The new-comer Imran has done quite well, and so do others. Actually, I was impressed by the whole friends group in the film. Jenilie has proven her skills again, but compared to her performance in Telugu hit “Bommarillu’, i felt she could have done better. All in all, its a paisa-vasool movie. Enjoy.

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn’t know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren’t exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don’t recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren’t really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job… and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn’t. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can’t meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you’re doing this because you know that you aren’t a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself… and while winning the race would be great, right now you’d just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. So, all twenty-something friends out there, don’t worry, you aren’t alone in this state of confusion…

We call it the “Quarter-life Crisis.”

Akash was waiting for his love …

“30 minutes late!!”, his brain shouted at him, “Last time you were 5 mins late and she had literally gobbled u up… remember??”

“Yeah yeah”, he said to his brain, “You know her … all moody and stuff …. oh there she is”

“Scold her OK?”, his brain advised.

“OK I will try”

Sweet Sheetal comes with the cutest smile and says “Im sorry honey … I was shopping for shoes .. totally forgot about you”

“What if you had said that line buddy?”, shouted his brain … “she would have had a nervous breakdown”

Akash ignored his brain .. “Its OK honey .. its only half an hour .. no problem”

She smiled once again .. held his hand and asked “Hope you remember what occasion is today”

“OMG!!!”, thought Akash ….

“Brain … search database for reminders, anniversaries, silly anniversaries, birthdays and birthdays of people I don’t care about”

Brain got into action… he started delegating work to different parts… parallel processing… multiple search……… complete memory scan.

Sheetal stared at Akash …. “Hello!! u have been staring at me for 2 minutes now … u OK?”

“Huh!!!”, he said, “Oh … northing’s wrong .. was lost in thought”

“No records found”, said the brain …

“Damn!!”, thought Akash

“So what say … how do we celebrate this day?”, she asked.

Akash is all confused … “Ask her… dumbo?”. said the brain

“OK OK …stop pushing me”

“Honey .. U know my lousy memory .. I guess I cant recall what today is”

“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”, she shouted … and started crying.

“How could you forget!! ….. its my doggy’s birthday”

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

A moment of silence.

His entire brain staff was laughing at him.

Akash was dumbfounded. “What the hell am I supposed to do know?”, he asked his brain.

“Damage control sequence initialized … dont worry our specialist will comeback with the perfect line to make everything all right”

“Better do it fast ..brainy”

The brain was working at 90% capacity …. gathering and analyzing all data on ‘How to handle women?’

Finally an answer was computed and communicated to Akash.

He looked up to her, and said “Of Course I remember your doggy’s bday … how can I forget that sweet mutt’s special day”

She looked up with utter surprise …
“HUH!!!!!!! ……. Doggy is the name of my cat you jerk”

She stood up angrily and left.
Akash and his brain were left there clueless ….

“Ah! screw u guys .. I’m going home”, said his brain and left.

I couldn’t resist myself from sharing this piece of article with you. I don’t know the original author but my hearty congratulations to him/her. Really thought-provoking words. Never miss it, especially Kannadigas.

“Kannada Barutha??” ah! I am sure most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is “kannada barutha?” here it goes. Bangalore the IT capital of India, the silicon city and now a Metro city opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru . The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Pizza Corners replacing MTR’s, classy eat out’s replacing “Vidyarthi Bhavans” and flashy pub’s replacing all our “Mahalakshmi wine shops”.

“Change is inevitable” from the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalorehas a new look now on the world map. Gone are the days where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of “LALBAGH…”, “rave idli and coffee..” at the nearest yet old looking MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh or central ‘talkies’. Today’s Bangalore is deluged in traffic, stress and pressure, Saturday nights without beer is desolate and a Sunday without a visit to either a nearest spa or health clinic is schlocky!! The gandhibazar’s are now AC cooled super markets, majestic is now replaced by ultra modern and diversified Brigade road, sri cauvery coffee joint is now Coffee days.. and “Bhagyalakshmi coffee adda.. is now barista. With globalisation and more retail market the city will definitely see more forceful changes.

Have all these changed our language? Kannada the local language of Bangalore is supposed to be one of the most meaningful language, it also has an unique script as compared to its other counterparts; but how many percentage of people really use Kannada in Bangalore now? The figures are staggering, only 37% of people speak Kannada in the state’s capital, for rest it is only “Kannada bartha?”

Any normal guy starts with this sentence “Kannada barutha?” while talking to other person, people confirm before they speak the language. You want to ask an address in Bangalore? Or reply to a question then English is the most preferred language other than Hindi. It’s a famous fact that two kannidagas in an IT company always talk in a neutral language!! Even the vendors and shop keepers are channelled with this new wave, the moment when you step in any shop in Bangalore, you are always asked “Kannada barutha?” or the entire conversation takes place in non Kannada languages. People have lost the confidence of speaking in the local language and more over speaking Kannada on the streets of “M.G road “or “kormangala” is substandard.

Shopping malls in the city have been completely banned from using Kannada, not a forced one but definitely an adapted one. One has to confirm that the other person knows the language before he starts using any language. “ondu glass beer” is a insult when it comes to any decorous pub in Bangalore. “Swalpa menu card kodthira..??” has been replaced by “Can I have the menu card pls…?”

Just to hit some facts, marathi is still the largest and common speaking language in mumbai even though mumbai has the highest no of inhabitants. Telgue is a practised ritual in yet another IT HUB Hyderabad. When it comes to tamil nadu, beware you can be alive either if you are a fan of rajnikanth or you know tamil. Malyalam runs in the blood of every mallu be it Kuwait, dubaior any hospital; but when it comes to kannada it is always “kannada barutha?” and next is “namaskara.”

I am not a Kannada activist neither I run any Kannada supporting organisation, I am just a plebeian who just loves the language. Globalisation is the trend and modernisation is the mantra but at the cost the language? Sounds no logic.. is speaking kannada down market? The answer has to be found within oneself. Next time when you hear “kannada barutha?” you just remember that “Kannada runs in your blood…“

An Arizona State University student has proposed a very novel way of re-capturing some of the energy expended by vehicles moving at high speeds on our nations highways. We all know how much air turbulence is generated by vehicles moving at speed particularly trucks.



The proposal would involve mounting horizontal wind turbines above the roadway that would be driven by the moving air generated by the passing traffic. The electricity generated by spinning these turbines could be fed back into the grid. Joe’s analysis indicates that based on vehicle speeds of 70 mph each turbine could produce 9,600kWh per year.



The wind turbines shown in the proposal are of a quiet running type. Certainly in many built up areas there is enough constant traffic volume to maintain a steady airflow through much of the day. The big question that needs to be answered is whether the nature of the turbulent airflow could keep the turbines turning. If a turbine could be optimized to work in that environment it seems like it might be a very worthwhile investment. It’s certainly deserving of further investigation.

Palm-reading, otherwise known as palmistry or chiromancy, is practiced all over the world, with roots in Indian astrology and gypsy fortune-telling. The objective is to evaluate a person’s character or future by studying the palm of their hand. Whether you’re an aspiring palm reader or you’re just looking for a fun way to pass the time and impress your friends, here’s how to gain insight just by holding someone’s hand.

Steps

1. Choose a hand. Traditionally, a woman’s left hand and a man’s right hand should be read, but some schools of palmistry hold that anyone’s non-dominant hand sheds light on a person’s natural persona while the dominant hand indicates one’s choices in terms of how they’ve developed their personality and talents.
2. Identify and the four major lines. (1) The heart line. (2) The head line. (3) The life line. (4) The fate line.
3. Interpret the heart line. This line can be read in either direction (from the pinkie finger to the index finger or vice versa) depending on the tradition being followed. It’s believed to indicate emotional stability, romantic perspectives, depression, and cardiac health.
   • begins below the index finger - content with love life
   • begins below the finger - selfish when it comes to love
   • begins in the middle - falls in love easily.
   • straight and short - a high sex drive, less interest in romance
   • touches life line - heart broken easily
   • long and curvy - freely expresses emotions and feelings
   • straight and parallel to the head line - good handle on emotions
   • wavy - many relationships and lovers, absence of serious relationships
   • circle on the line - depression
   • broken line - emotional trauma
   • smaller lines crossing through heart line - emotional trauma

4. Examine the head line. Represents learning style, communication style, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge. A curved line is associated with creativity and spontaneity, while a straight line is linked with practicality and a structured approach.
   • short line - prefers physical achievements over mental ones
   • curved, sloping line - creativity
   • separated from life line - adventure, enthusiasm for life.
   • wavy line - short attention span
   • deep, long line - thinking is clear and focused
   • straight line - thinks realistically
   • donut or cross in head line - emotional crisis
   • broken head line - inconsistencies in thought
   • multiple crosses through head line - momentous decisions
5. Evaluate the life line. Begins near the thumb and travels in an arc towards the wrist. Reflects physical health, general well being, and major life changes (e.g. cataclysmic events, physical injuries, and relocations). Its length is not associated with length of life.
   • runs close to thumb - often tired
   • curvy - plenty of energy
   • long, deep - vitality.
   • short and shallow - manipulated by others
   • swoops around in a semicircle - strength and enthusiasm.
   • straight and close to the edge of the palm - cautious when it comes to relationships
   • multiple life lines - extra vitality
   • circle in line indicates - hospitalized or injured
   • break - sudden change in lifestyle
6. Study the fate line. This is also known as the line of destiny, and it indicates the degree to which a person’s life is affected by external circumstances beyond their control. Begins at the base of the palm.
   • deep line - strongly controlled by fate
   • breaks and changes of direction - prone to many changes in life from external forces
   • starts joined to life line - self-made individual; develops aspirations early on
   • joins with the life line somewhere in the middle - signifies a point at which one’s interests must be surrendered to those of others
   • starts at base of thumb and crosses life line - support offered by family and friends
7. Determine the hand shape. Each hand shape is associated with certain character traits. The length of the palm is measured from the wrist to the bottom of the fingers.
   • Earth - broad, square palms and fingers, thick or coarse skin, and ruddy color; length of the palm equals length of fingers
     • solid values and energy, sometimes stubborn
     • practical and responsible, sometimes materialistic
     • work with their hands, comfortable with the tangible
   • Air - square or rectangular palms with long fingers and sometimes protruding knuckles, low-set thumbs, and dry skin; length of the palm less than length of fingers
     • sociable, talkative and witty
     • can be shallow, spiteful and cold
     • comfortable with the mental and the intangible
     • do things in different and radical ways
   • Water - long, sometimes oval-shaped palm, with long, flexible, conical fingers; length of the palm equals length of fingers but is less than width across the widest part of the palm
     • creative, perceptive and sympathetic
     • can be moody, emotional and inhibited
     • introverts
     • do things quietly and intuitively.
   • Fire - square or rectangular palm, flushed or pink skin, and shorter fingers; length of the palm greater than length of fingers
     • spontaneous, enthusiastic and optimistic
     • sometimes egoistic, impulsive and insensitive
     • extroverts
     • do things boldly and instinctively

Tips

• Since palm lines change as you progress through life, palm reading is seen by many as an opportunity to reveal what’s already happened, but not as a way of predicting the future.
• The more flexible the hand, the more flexible the personality.
• You’ll have to search hard for the marriage line, but concentrate and you’ll find it.
• Note the texture of the hand, front and back. Soft hands signify sensitivity and refinement, while rough hands mirror a coarse temperament.

Warnings

• Many predictions may not be accurate, just like a horoscope.
• This is only a beginner’s guide!

Got this information from one my friends and thought of sharing with you people.

Suppose you have a number stored in your Nokia cell phone with the Name of the number holder. Have you noticed that, if you dial the number with first three digits changed, same Name appears? Same is the case when you receive a call from a number whose last seven digits are the same as this number.

For example, take a number 98450 98450 for instance. I guess, its stored as “Airtel” in your cell. When you dial a number XXX50 98450, it will display “Calling Airtel”. When you receive a call from a number XXX50 98450 it will display “Airtel Calling”.

I don’t know whether you call it a bug or limitation, but it does exist in Nokia handsets. I tried with SonyEricson cell phones also, but they turned out to be smarter than Nokia.
