Veerappu - The same old wine, nothing new. Its actually a remake of malayalam movie "spadikam" of mohanlal. This masala entertainer done good in malayalam with the fame of mohanlal, but does sundar.c worth it. He has defnitely improved a lot with his performance from his previous movie, but this movie expect more from him. He still has to do lot of homework.
The story is about a father and son, where father wants his son to become mathematician and the son is interested in science. So, the unhappy father always curses and demotivates his son, who finally becomes a rowdy. (Nothing new in tamil cinema). At the end of the movie, father realises his mistakes and son also accepts his father. (The traditional cinema technic).
Viveks comedy track gives some relief in between. Music is lesser than average. Director tried his best to drive the movie in a good pace and the climax is fine example for it.
I cannot say, this is must watch or worth to watch. But if you have no other movies to watch and desperate to see any movie, then give a try for this.
FLASH NEWS : KIREEDOM MOVIE CLIMAX IS CHANGING FROM TODAY. ATLAST DIRECTOR LEARNED ABOUT TAMIL AUDIENCE.

Die Hard 4.0 - Dedicated to Hackers
This latest version (its so appropriate to call version) of the Die Hard series is really a treat to action lovers. This movie live upto expectations is what i could say. From the beginning till end, the action scenes didnt took a break. An excellent movie in the die hard series.
I actually felt like watching a james bond movie (not casino royale). This movie is more about hackers. Hackers are shutting down every computer system and network in the country. Sometimes, i felt so weird about the existance of these kind of hackers. They are able to hack and intrude into everything. Where do they learn these things?
So, the story goes like this... (can be easily guessed) Bruce willis is behind the hackers to save the country. His only target is to kill them. In the process he is taking the help from two other hackers to save the nation. (how come government didnt recruit these kind of brilliant professionals?). As the story goes, bruce daughter is kidnapped by the bad guys. So, our hero has to kill the guys to save country and also has to save his daughter.
Story plot is nothing new as we always know, bad guys will hack and good guy will save. Few of the scenes remind me of the movie "SWORD FISH", a good old movie having john travolta in the lead. Its also purely based on hacking, only bank accounts.
Die Hard 4.0 is a very good time pass, it never allows us to relax. From the beginning, movie goes in a very good pace. Surely, it will entertain you.

Resistance to Change
Resistance to change is the action taken by individuals, when they perceive that a change that is occurring as a threat to them. In its usual description it refers to change within organizations, although it also found elsewhere in other forms. Resistance is the equivalent of objections in sales and disagreement in general discussions. Resistance may take many forms, including active or passive, overt or covert, individual or organized, aggressive or timid.
Resistance to change can occur in many scenarios. For instance, in an automobile industry, if we introduce machines to automate work, labours will resist as its a threat to their job. Even the accounting softwares is a threat to auditors or accountants as it can replace them. Each individual would have shown his resistance for any change which occured, if he is not comfortable with that.
I am not an exception for it. I have expressed uncomfortableness in my work place itself, when i cant accept the change happened. For example, when i was moved under a new boss, when people try to pull out my resources for their work, when there is a new process introduced to do certain things, etc.
This changes are very common in any work place, but people are always tend to be in their own comfort zone and not willing to move out of it. So, if there is any change which will disturb their comfort zone, then they will show some resistance to the change, like i showed. But, now i realized that change is the only constant thing in life. At some stage in life, each individual has to accept this fact and live accordingly. The more we accept the changes, the more we can live happily.

Fear of Failure
The main block to success is fear of failure. Because failing is never fun, some of us choose not to risk it. And in the process of avoiding failures, they miss the thrill of success, hardwork, new approaches and whatelse, the excitement in life.
Trying a new approach might result in failure. So what? Really, what is the worst that could happen? So you identify a talent, cultivate it into a strength, and fail to perform up to your expectations. Yes, it hurts, but it shouldn't undermine you completely. It is a chance to learn and to incorporate this learning into your next performance, and your next. And what if these next performances still fail to meet your standards? Well, it hurts some more. But it should also tell you something: You might be searching for your strengths in the wrong places. Despite the hurt, you are at least freed up to redirect your search more productively. As the wit W. C. Fields advised: "If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There is no point making a fool of yourself."
"He who never makes mistakes, never makes anything," goes an English Proverb. Unless we learn to embrace failure, we remain snugly tucked inside our comfort zone. Managers talk a lot about innovation and being on the cutting edge, but on an individual level, many people are not willing to try new things. Even if environmental conditions allow for high failure tolerance, some people will take setbacks to heart instead of to mind. Such people let a disappointment seep into their sense of self like a poison.
"One who fears failure limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again." - Henry Ford
"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually be afraid you will make one." - Elbert Hubbard
"Wherever we look upon this earth, the opportunities take shape within the problems." - Nelson A. Rockefeller
Even though there are so many proverbs, stories and facts about great people who failed lot of times but succeeded finally and changed the way the world was with their inventions, still there are people who doesnt attempt new things because of fear. Society also should change from cursing the people who fail to encouraging them in finding the mistake and fix it.
A train will never met with an accident, if it doesnt move. But it is not meant for it. similiarly, people wont fail, if they doesnt do anything, but they are not for it. People should realize failures are stepping stones for success.

The 3rd leading cause of death for Teenagers
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15 to 24-year-olds. Sounds strange, but its a fact. Depression will be the primary cause which leads to this. Depresession will come because of various reasons.
Depression is something that goes much deeper than the normal ups and downs of life. Depression is a medical condition that negatively affects how a person feels, thinks, and acts. The illness is an intense sadness that, in addition to a variety of other crippling symptoms, lasts for more than a couple of weeks. It is a serious health problem that can alter a person's behavior, physical health, appearance, academic performance, and the ability to deal with everyday decisions.
Some facts about suicides and depression :
One in four families is affected by a mental health problem.
Nineteen million adults in the United States suffer from some form of depression every year.
Talking through feelings may help a friend recognize the need for professional help. By showing friendship and concern and giving uncritical support, you can encourage a friend to talk to a trusted adult about treatment.
Since 1970, teen/youth sucide rates have tripled.
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among college students.
60 percent of high school boys have thought about suicide, 9 percent have attempted suicide.
Males are 4 times more likely to die from a suicide attempt than are females because they tend to use more effective methods.
80 to 90 percent of people with depression can be treated.
Having the above facts, still the count is not reduced. It only increases. The person who attempts suicide only can prevent it. If people have enough confidence on themselves, this word doesnt exists. Fear to face the future, problems, competition etc is leading to this abnormal decision. People should think about it and change the way of thinking / approach to anything. The government can also boost self-confidence in children by having it as a part of curriculum in school. But, until the individual is ready to face the fear, nothing can be changed.

Has thale choosen the right Kireedom?
This movie is originally inspired by a malayalam movie. Malayalam movies are known for its good story and realistic view. No wonder Kireedom is good. The movie is set in Trichirapalli, is all about a honest police constable Rajarajan (Rajkiran) who dreams of making his son, Shakthivel(Ajith) a Sub-Inspector of police. Being an honest policeman always has its price, and Raja Rajan is transferred. In the new place, Ajith ends up thrashing the villain and now the wounded Villian wants revenge. And the rest of the movie is all about how Ajith faces the problem, and whether he becomes the inspector or not.
A.L. vijay, as a director, done an excellent job in shaping up the movie, with great story. But the pace of the movie is not maintained through out the movie. G.V. Prakash's Music is only average. It’s very hard to pick who impresses more, Ajith or Rajkiran. Ajith has done the role to perfection. His screen presence and dialogue delivery proves why he is having such big fan following. And Rajkiran as Ajith’s father has given a flawless performance. He is proving time and again about his acting skills, and this performance will surely rank amongst his best. Vivek and Santhanam, stays only for a while and does their part in the given time.
I am not sure, how much this movie will do commercially. But, its an undoubted quality movie. This movie will surely be a kireedom for ajith.

Sivaji, The boss - Is he a real boss?
Sivaji, The Boss is a Tamil language film released on June 15 2007. Directed by S.Shankar and stars Rajinikanth, Shriya, Vivek and Suman in the lead roles. Music by A.R.Rehman and produced by A.V.M. The giants have come together for this blockbuster. Sivaji had the biggest opening so far in history of Indian cinema with the producers claiming collections of Rs. 2.5 crores in advance booking from Chennai alone. The movie is estimated to have been released more than 1000 screens worldwide, and it is 100% opening worldwide.
Rajini already had a good market in Japan and this time he proved himself in U.K., Singapore, Gulf, U.S.A, few african countries etc. It is the biggest event which is happening during third week of june, 2007. Everywhere, it spreaded with sivaji waves. And shankar did his best in this film also, with his direction, graphics, the sets and so on.
How rajini made this, when we are in a situation that bollywood heros are the only famous personalities across the world, from indian cine industry? Surely rajini jumped up to top by pushing the bollywood badhshahs. The ultimate proof is "jhoom barabar jhoom" which didnt had good opening in north, while sivaji did well in north india also.
So, whats special in this movie. Its the same plot which we already seen in indian cinema where hero will try to do good for his country and in the process he will become poor and also his dream will be burried by villian. Then hero will come back with a master plan, regain his wealth and also fulfill his dream. Even there is nothing new from shankar in terms of story. This is a mix from his old movies.
The success behind this revolutionary film will be the one and only Rajini. Also we cannot avoid shankar, as his contribution is awesome. Even though the film is not too good, rajini made his magic to attract audiences and created history again. The real super star.

Is facing problem a problem?
In this competitive era, there is no one who could say, he is free from problems. If there is some one like that, then he is not living his life (equal to dead / must be saints). Problems are part of our life. Obstacles will come only if you walk through the way. By standing still you wont see any obstacle, but that is not life is for. Life is to live and to live you have to face the problems. Escaping from problems is foolishness. Face the situation honestly and take decisions intelligently. Also should have the courage to Confess when wrong. Before any problem can be solved there first must be an admission that there is a problem.
From child to old person, problem leaves no one. What ever may be the obstacle, river will flow through it and reach the destination. It doesnt stop. Same with wind also. Likewise, humans should not fear for problems. Some people feel that a Psychiatric could help them. But he also will try to boost up your confidence level, which you can do yourself. The basic focus of psychology is self. Psychology attempts to improve self, repair self, value self, esteem self, love self, find self, forgive self.
"A problem is an obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and what is desired. Every problem asks for an answer or solution." - Thanks to wiki.
First thing to be noted is not to panic in problematic situation. Handle situations in cool way. Becoming tensed will not solve the problem, rather it could worse the situation. Any problem will have a solution and the time to solve it depends on your maturity level in thinking. Fear will help in no way and taking strange decisions (suicide) in that situations is what cowards will do. Be brave and feel high about yourself. Have confidence and not over-confidence. Always think you are best and can solve any problems at ease and do it.

Deadline - Death line
"A deadline is a boundary where a person may cross only at the risk of death. Derived from prison systems, wherein if a prisoner escaped the deadline boundary he was to be shot down. " - Thanks to wiki.
The most dangerous word in software industry - Deadline. Like how people doesnt like the word "Bugs" (except for quality people), they also dont like deadlines. If anything is reasonable, it will be appreciated. But deadlines are always fixed in such a way that developers will be always lagging. Is it the problem with the bosses - not always. There are some situations where immediate boss is the reason for such deadlines. But in most of the cases, these deadlines are driven by customers who pays or internal clients.
They generally give requirement today but want it to be completed yesterday. Thats the way they approach always. This doesnt happens in any industry other than IT. If you book a car, you have to wait for a fixed period of time. As the price range increases, the days to wait will also increase. There no one will argue for getting it soon. This is not only in automobile industry, but everywhere.
In all occupations, they have certain time limit for doing their work. Take example of construction, textile, manufacturing industries. They will have fixed timelines for their work. Even for pizza delivery they have their own timelines.
Then why this pathetic situation in software industry. Is it because, this is more competitive? Is it because here the players and alternatives are enormous? Is it because the concern is more inclined towards the contract rather than the resources? Is it because of the false commitment of the business division? Is it because of the wrong projection from the management? Is it because the programmers are ready to die for work? When this situation is going to change?

What are we running for?
This topic is dedicated for IT professionals. (Like me).
Every individual is busy, seems running to achieve something. But is he going to fully utilize it. The answer is NO. This running started from childhood and never ended until we die. Where are we running to? Who is our competitor? What do we gain? People’s nature of cursing the past and worrying about the future by killing the present is the reason for all this.
The Running Race started from the age ONE when the child started to speak. Parents will torture the children by teaching them new words, especially alphabets, numbers and rhymes. (Then why the hell, school and teachers are there for?). Soon, kids will be joined in school. Even the evenings are not spared. For dull students, there will be special classes / Tuitions. For intelligent students, awaits other special courses to fill up the evening. (All work and no play makes jack a dull boy – Is this forgotten?).
After school, the trouble is not over. Now, there is a bigger trouble called college. Again the students have to perform better by doing hard work, so that they can get job. After joining in a IT company, does the person live happily? Now he/she has to run very fast to excel in the competitive world of IT. Study new things everyday, also meeting deadlines with a deadly schedule. So, when does this running stops? After marriage he has to run for his wife, then for children and it continues until he/she dies.
At every stage each individual thinks or forced to think, that he has to work hard to enjoy the next stage. But in reality, in every stage he suffers more than the earlier stage. Is it really worth to continue like this. We are trying to earn more and more money, but for whom. We are not enjoying with it, as we don’t even have time to think about it. Even it is not used for our children to live happily, because at the age of ONE, we put our children in Race. So, finally who is going to make use of this money? Think, Think, Think, Think, Think.....

Potter mania
I am sure that the Harry potter wave should have reached in all corners of the world yesterday. Harry potter, many people think that this book / movie are only for kids and parents are just accompanying kids. But the fact is, it also attracted elders. I personally know many of my friends and their friends who were waiting to watch this movie. Of course, I am also a victim for it. Even though, I like horror, action movies, I can’t avoid watching this genre of movies.
Now coming to the movie, Harry potter and the order of the Phoenix, it doesn’t live up to the expectations is what I have to conclude with. Out of the 5 potter movies, which are released till now, this must be the weakest in the series. For the people who have read the book, this movie must be a disappointment. There is lot of scenes which is missed out from the book and few new scenes are added. First half of the movies is a bit dragging and the climax is awesome.
Verdict: If you forget the actual story which is available in the book and watch the movie without the impact of the previous movies in the series, this movie CAN entertain you.

My first post
A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in few countries. This Friday, thirteen, phobia didnt affect me, because i am starting my first blog today. Does it mean, i am evil. Certainly not. I dont believe in these things. I always stay away from these superstitions.
Since i started my blogging today, let me discuss about Friday 13th itself. No historical date has been verifiably identified as the origin of the superstition. Before the 20th century, although there is evidence that the number 13 was considered unlucky, and Friday was considered unlucky, there was no link between them. The first documented mention of a "Friday the 13th" is generally listed as occurring in the early 1900's.
It's been estimated that [U.S] $800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day because people will not fly or do business they would normally do.
A British Medical Journal study has shown that there is a significant increase in traffic-related accidents on Friday the 13ths. (Funny coincidence hahahahaha).
OK. Enough of 13th, i need to get back to work. Will come back with good topic. Hopefully not about saturday the 14th. (hehe).

The first documented mention of a "Friday the 13th" is generally listed as occurring in the early 1900's.
It's been estimated that [U.S] $800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day because people will not fly or do business they would normally do.
A British Medical Journal study has shown that there is a significant increase in traffic-related accidents on Friday the 13ths. (Funny coincidence hahahahaha).
OK. Enough of 13th, i need to get back to work. Will come back with good topic. Hopefully not about saturday the 14th. (hehe).
