North East West South

I have always had a good habit of NOT reading news papers, right from my child hood. :-). But now a days I am forced to do read them, to kill my time. Today I was skimming through Times Of India (TOI) found couple of interesting news .My paper-wala rated TOI as number one news paper in India (and I subscribed to it because it's always filled with masala news and nice pics). 

enna kodumai sir ithu... a testimony for the speed of our system, court, lawers etc... now that guy will be really feeling ashamed in front of his great-grand children,  (getting caught for just 45 bucks, cost of a capaccino in CCD, hehe)

Inflation is very smoker's friendly :-). On the serious side, thanks to those hundreds of thousands of children who have kept the production cost of match box very low, since the inception of independent india.

ma people

People tracking my blog may know that I hail from Indian philadelphia, the real city of brother-hood. I always wanted to do something which will be immediately recognized by ma people. But I have never succeeded. I am writing quite a few of my failures.

I joined guindy engineering college, supposed to be number one in my state; most of ma people mistook it for annamalai university, few thought I didn't study well, didn't get a seat in local college, few thought my father paid huge donation for studying in metro.

I joined HCL technologies, those were the days I really felt proud of being in software company. most of ma people didn't recognize that it is a software company, some thought I work in a calculator company; some thought I work in some mechanical company.

It didn't stop.

I joined riverstone networks, it was a startup company with a strength of 40 employees in india office. So you would have guessed what I had faced.

Then it became Alcatel. Now I was able to convince few of ma people, not all, that it is a big company with a strength 50K+ all over the world. Still many are thinking that I can't make it to Infy, TCS, Wipro, which are the only companies famous among ma people.

mudiyalai.. :-(

Integer 7

I saw some interesting information about "7" in a musical website, and copy pasted the excerpts from it. I found these interesting because number 7 or it's multiple has appeared more frequently in my day to day life. I don't want to list those (and get critical comments which I already got for "3 and me" http://kansa.blogspot.com/2006/06/3-and-me.html")

The integer seven is an interesting one. There is something special about this number 7. There are seven continental and seven seas in this world. The number se7en is famous within Indian Cultures and subcultures. This number 7 is life, Universe, and everything for them. Indians strongly believe that there are seven re-births after death. They believe there are other seven worlds in Heaven. Lotus is emblem of Hindu Goddess. It has seven petals in its last bottom corral arrangement.

There are seven wonders in this world. The number of stellar objects in the solar system visible to our naked eye is seven viz., the Sun, the Moon and the five classical naked eye planets: Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. The number of colors in a rainbow is seven.

Bond.. My name is James Bond 007. You might have feed up of hearing the same old dialogue in his every movie, codename for James Bond, a movie fictional secret spy agent.

We can add and pile up this list more…

And finally coming to subject matter, there are seven musical notes starting with first seven alphabet C-D-E-F-G-A-B ...

IT GOES ON.
