Dell to move from China to India

It is nice to see companies move from China to India.

However we have jokers like Mayawati, Mamta Banerjee, The Thackerey's and others who will not provide a "conducive" environment for these companies.

Haven't we spoiled our independence which we got? Why can't the same thing happen here?

Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya - Tamil Film - A review

First of all it looks like most of the directors / story writers in Tamil Cinema think that the population which goes for movies are fools of the highest order. Gautam Menon tries to prove this point in this movie. Here is the story line.. a 'x' year old boy falls in so called "love" with a 'x+1' year old madam, and in most part of the movie mentions that if x is 49 then x+1 is 50 and if x is 80, x+1 is 81 etc. The other role this x year old boy plays is to go behind this 'x+1' year old madam, and then ensure that this madam says what this x year old boy wants her to say which she wants to but does not say (Got the twist?? ). The madam does not say so.. the director / story writer gets now confused - so he brings in another director and the story writer is our 'x' year old boy. He produces a movie ( producing movies in Tamilnadu can be done by any one - next election announcement is that every family can produce one free movie) and the climax is whether the climax of movie within the movie is the climax of the movie. In between A R Rahman plays the background "love" music and the whole cinema crew visits Europe, US etc. Need i say more?

Temple Visit last week

Had been to some old temples near Vellore, Tamilnadu -
1. Thiruvalam
Surprised to see such a nice temple in the Chennai - Ranipet- Chittoor road, many times i have passed by this place but never had "time" to visit it. Spent a good 45 minutes inside the temple. Well maintained.
2. Vallimalai
Surprised to see a cave temple for Lord Muruga. This place is between Thiruvalam and Ponnai.

Week before last visited Pulipakkam, this is the hill on the Chingelpet Chennai road just after the toll gate if you are traveling to Chingelpet. Very small temple but the view from this hill is great.

Doomed to be Universities under section 3 of UGC act

Hue and cry is being raised on all quarters about these doomed universities in India, most of them in Tamil Nadu. But why are these questions not answered?

1. Who was responsible for giving them affiliation as Doomed Universities?
2. Why is nothing being done to those who granted affiliation?
3. When there were reports appearing in media about these Doomed Universitites what was the government doing/
4. What is the guarantee that this will not get repeated again?
5. Will we EVER compete with other countries in education? Can we?

As a next step there will be people who will say that Doomed Universities must not exist and everything should be with the government. Remember Anna University Coimbatore in recent times?

As usual the rule of this land is to catch the innocent and torture him, while letting rich corrupt people get away.
