Off the mark

January 15th, 2010 Jeega No comments

Today my blog completes one year of its existence. I am very happy coming this far. Still there is lot left out to improve and lot to write. But I can see the improvement. Initially to write a post even with one paragraph it takes more than 1 hour. Now the time became very less.

I planned to write a lot at start but on course of time the damn writer’s block and busy schedule kept me out of it :) . I remember one piece of writing from the book “Alchemist” by paulo coelho and i want to mention it here.

“At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s greatest lie”

I know the above reasons are just justifications for my incapability :( . Now I decided to write whatever comes to my mind and not to afraid of making mistakes. Oh Yeah. I can do it.

Happy Tamil New Year and Pongal

“Iniya thai thiru naal mattrum Tamil Puthandu nal valthukal”

This is the first new year celebrated after the Tamilnadu government changed the date from April 14th to Jan 14th. Very unique change in history. The question of  ”How a government can change the historically celebrated ‘chithirai’ month, as tamil new year, to ‘thai’” still persists. Fortunately no big opposes raised for this change.

One who changed it is great veteran “Kalaingar Karunanithi” no doubt he will have valid reason for his actions. He brought “Bogi”, “Ulavar Thirunal” and “Makar Sankaranthi” into the equation. If “thai” month is celebrated as start of the year, “Makar Sankaranthi” and Ulavar thirunal  falls on it, marking as a fresh start. And “Bogi”, the bonfire falls on the “margazhi” month last day, perfect ending of the year.

Spent the day with close relatives at chennai. Went to some temples. No doubt, there is really heartfelt happiness, being with relatives especially while festival times.

Reliance Netconnect Broadband+

Today I got Reliance Netconnect Broadband+ CDMA2000 1x HSD USB Modem from Reliance World, Mount Road. Chose Broadband+ 3GB day, 10GB Night plan.

Really the speed is amazing. I watched a TED Video without pausing for buffering. But one thing, tariff is quite high. Huawei EC1260 model modem comes with Micro-SD slot in it. Can use the modem as pen drive too.
