Four Poojas and a Traffic Jam !!

There are a lot of stories about our famous hostility but there is nothing in it. We are good friends and Pearasu who has directed two of my films is directing Ajt this time, says Vijay on AVM-Ajith’s Thirupathi pooja. Thoda Hero !!

BTW, the already crowded and sweaty Kodambakkam must have shaken today. With 4 Poojas, the Chennai traffic jam would have been hectic, much to the irritation of office goers. Read the not-at-all important details on which movies kicked off and who’s who in kollywood.

Ajax & Meebo – Fingering the Firewall

Meebo is the newest addition to the online community using the hot hot Ajax[Asynchronous JavaScript and XML] technology. With Meebo you aren’t contrained of a firewall blocking access to your Instant messaging. It’s the kind of silent browser which were around sometime back where you have a browser inside another one and the sites that are blocked by the firewall can still be accessed. Seems like Meebo is just out of their Dev labs and is still in Alpha. When you login to yahoo client you have a toned-down version of messenger with which you can chat with your IM friends bypassing the firewall.

Meebo uses the Ajax technology to simulate Yahoo or MSN’s IM client as a light-weight tool. I am using it and its truly awesome. I read about Meebo in Om Malik’s blog and someone raised a question of giving away passwords to a start-up firm’s website. I wasn’t thinking about it when I was using it. And now that I’m making a recommendation, I thought I should also be adding the word of caution and leave it to your own judgement. As online world goes through Web 2.0 a.k.a programmable Web, we have to start trusting websites and online community. How else did the net prosper over the years ?

After some time

Been a little busy at work and unable to catch up with reading blogs, forget writing them. Another half week and things might slow down giving way to more time on blogs. After writing the above sentences, I feel like an astrologer writing jyothish on a weekly. Don’t you smell astrological grammar?

I have to be a little curt here. Someone has been mailing me with a link that Microsoft chief vows to Kill Google using my email-ID as sender’s name. GMAIL categorised it as spam but still I need to blow out my anger. Mavaney, kaila kedacha kaima panniduven !!

Google goes to college with a splash of cool banners. Old wine in a hep bottle!! BTW, have you ever seen a black screen at Google. Check this out !!

So it might become whatever@googlemail.com instead of the cool whatever@gmail.com. Looks like the legal controversy over GMAIL is proving to be of some merit to the Google contenders who claim intellectual property rights over GMAIL. What a USP @gmail.com is. I am upset to see it go away.

Wonder whatever happened to Tamil cinema. It’s probably on a long leave or something. Not so interesting releases that inspires me to go and watch a film. Worse, I don’t even bother to look at the Tamil films aisle in the Indian store. Ponniyin Selvan sounds a little interesting comparing to others. Certainly not the Vetti Jaya [via Hemanth].

Stree Samanya [Kannada] – Vettayadu Villayadu [Tamil] – KS Ravi Kumar film [Tamil] – Rama Naidu’s film [Telugu]. There goes Kamal Hassan’s schedule for the next half year or so. So the only missing link for Kamal is a mallu film and that will complete a round of South Indian films. Basically this is a just a link but I hyped it on the account of consciously continuing the Kamal-Rajini post. Hee Hee!!

Chandramukhi – Going Going Gone !!

[Pic – ebay.in]

They are selling Chandramukhi’s properties online. Not that Chandramukhi is bankrupt but this is the right time to bank on Rajini and the movie’s popularity. So Sivaji Productions alongwith Galatta.com are auctioneering Rajini and Jyothika’s Chandramukhi costumes and its selling hot cakes already. Seems like the proceed from the auction are routed to Sivaji Prabhu Charities trust.

Not just the costumes, the winners of the auction will recieve their winning costume from Rajini himself on October 1st in Chennai. Writes Hindu –

Sivaji Production and Galatta.com along with ebay.in sold the sunglasses worn by superstar Rajnikant to a buyer in France for Rs. 25,000.

I personally think they should be a kept in some studio and used for the kollywood museum, which I propose just now.

I searched Ebay and found the series of Chandramukhi costumes listing. The costume shown above is the placed at Rs.100,000 outright buy. Wanna drive to office with that costume and tell your manager Laka Laka Laka, go for it baby !!.
