LOGGYRHYTHM-- Its My Rhythm

Auto or Car?!

2010-09-10T02:47:00.004+05:30

Recent days, I'm seeing some weird automobile designs in Chennai. Especially with Share Autos. Sometimes its almost a hybrid variety of vehicles. This is one such, which i clicked in Anna Nagar 100 feet road.

Rear side is a Indigo Marina look alike. The front portion is like a normal auto. If a person see’s from, right behind this vehicle, he must think its an car. Or if a person is in dizzy mood, he might think its a baby of Car and Auto’s Indecent Proposal, LOL!

Wonder, whether this Designer has registered the patent right’s for his design?!

But certainly, i must also appreciate the designer, for his effort to show his uniqueness from other Auto Body Builders. ;)

My Personal Logo

2010-09-08T01:04:00.006+05:30

Just made a logo for my personal use. Especially for blogging purpose. Psst, Copyright OK! ;)
Here have a look at it.

Meaning of Logo:
Well you can see the letter "L" which denotes the first letter of my name and you can see a "8" which denotes my DOB and its my lucky number too. On the whole you can see B for Blog.

Thanks to my cousin who helped me designing this.

Now you can see more changes in my blog. Have added more widgets and etc. Planning to Blog Often from now on, but can't promise. Since i'm not keeping up my promise.

My First Visit to AMPA SKY WALK -Chennai's Newest Mall

2009-11-08T23:36:00.003+05:30

Ampa Sky Walk, the newest mall(atleast for now) in Chennai.
I was almost jailed in my home for 48 hours, because of merciless rain in Chennai. In-spite of Flooded Waterways(that is how i should call the Chennai roads after the rain), i decided to take a look at this mall which is just a 3 kms drive from my Chennai residence.
The entry to this mall is from the nelson mainckam road side, A very narrow and steep entry path. Automatic parking chits, just like chennai citi center. Very nice Multi-level parking. Every level of parking has a entry to the mall, that's a unique feature away from spencers and citi center. It means when you park your car in Level 2, you can directly enter the level 2 of mall, need not take elevator or stairs.
Very grand looking Artrium, should stun all the visitors. So did me.

-Not many shops are opened at present.
-Westside is open and it occupies 3 floors.
-KFC and Mc Donald's are in good location facing Poonamalle road signal. KFC is yet to open.
-Cookie man and cafe day is available.
-other outlets like reebok, nike etc were present.

Food Mall: i have something to say here. It is not like you can directly access your food counter, order, pay and take the food. Here they issue a debit card system. You have to pay Rs.100(Rs90 can be used and Rs.10 is not, but refundable during card expiry as told by the counter guy) and get the card(one year validity) issued by the food court, the debit card is named as F3 card. Food Court is called as F3. Every time you pay only through this debit card. No cash in any food counters. This is where you may get irritated, for example, you have a Rs.100 balance, when you order a fried rice in a restaurant counter which costs Rs.90 and if you order a coke and you are out of balance, you cannot pay the extra amount in food counter itself, you should reach the debit card counter recharge the card and again come back to order. I think many people will be irritated with this concept. Thankfully KFC, McDonalds, cookie man and coffee day are away from this food court. Which doesn't come under this debit card.

Other Added Attraction to be coming soon to this mall is a 7 screened PVR cinemas. i can see the construction activities of PVR in the top level of the mall. The special most feature of this mall is, the SKY WALK which is gonna be part of PVR cinemas lobby. An Glass floored Ramp above 80 feet right at the center of the artrium. Hence it is called AMPA SKY WALK.

Discovery in Tamil

2009-11-06T00:27:00.002+05:30

It was awesome to see Discovery channel yesterday. A program about Cheetah's and other cat families, was really sensational, and a clear narrations made me so exited. More programmes like Man vs Wild, and Escaped, kept me away from changing channel.
Are you asking me whats so special in it? Yes it is the regular programmes of Discovery channel. But now in Tamil.
Thanks to DTH and STBs audio options.
Discovery has been available in tamil from july(wasn't much publicity?), but i happened to know only last week, when i was watching cable tv in my hometown. Came back to chennai and subscribed to Discovery @Rs.18 p.m. Now i see Discovery in my mother language.
It is a clear narration, there was not very strange translations like translating technical names, they were just using the straight English name while narrating science programmes.
Though they say Tamil programmes are only from 6pm to 12pm. I can see tamil programmes almost round the clock, as discovery programmes are repeated mostly in day times.
Thru' my DTH STB i can even switch languages from Tamil to HINDI or ENGLISH if needed..
I found lot of people like to watch Tamil programmes in Discovery like me. So its a Success Experiment from Discovery.
I hope, sooner Discovery will bring Tamil audio for Animal planet too. And expecting channels like NGC, History will sooner be available in Tamil to compete Discovery.

Vaazhga Tamil!

Famous Little Super Star Video

2008-11-12T18:55:00.003+05:30

Somewhere or somehow, Kollywood movies become popular for its contents.
This Clip from the Movie Adhiyasaya Piravi, starring Super Star Rajinikanth with King Khan (a comedy actor in Tamil cinema), has attracted many viewers for its dance number in the video.

Look at the view numbers of that video!!
Well, what could be the reason for its popularity? Creativity? Buffoonery content?

Also take a look at the Spoof video of this famous video. Surprisingly, some people have used the idea for promotional purposes too...

An Innovative Ad Campaign!

2008-05-15T16:23:00.003+05:30

The picture shows an innovative ad campaign by, TIMES OF INDIA. During its launch of Chennai Edition. An Kolam(Rangoli) in wording's say 'VANAKKAM CHENNAI(Hello Chennai), TIMES OF INDIA'. It obviously attracts people surprisingly, when coming out of their house in early morning.
Great Idea by TOI!
Saw these kind of kolam's in front of many houses around areas like Anna Nagar, nungambakkam, adyar and beasant nagar.

SEZ's should not be the only tool!

2008-01-09T15:08:00.000+05:30

SEZ’s this is what we hear in recent days.

Government is encouraging Industrial sectors to grow in India. Especially Tier II cities like Salem (my hometown) is getting benefited.
Well, Yes! It’s a good sign for a developing country! But some economists have always said, there should be equal growth in all sectors, for a developing nation.
SEZ's should not be the only tool for Developing the nation. Now I feel its time for India to think what’s happening with Agriculture?

I heard somewhere, if the Agriculture sector is ignored, as it prevails in current scenario, INDIA may have to import Food from foreign countries after few years it seems. Government should concentrate on SAZ’s( Special Agricultural zones) and encourage agriculture as the way it does with Industrial Sector. SAZ’s are only introduced in Rajasthan and Punjab. States like Karnataka, TamilNadu and Andhra Pradhesh also should be considered in future for SAZ’s.
Moreover lot of families are coming out of Agriculture, which had been their family business for generation's. If these SAZ's come, Agriculture will have new face for future generation!

Disclaimer:
-Just a citizen’s vision on his countries growth!!! ;)
-The article writer is not an economist! :D

TWO SUN's in TN

2007-08-07T15:34:00.000+05:30

There will be two SUN’s in TN skies. Yes in Tamil Satellite Channel’s. Kalaignar Tv which is to be launched on SEP15th will have SUN as its logo. It is been announced that it will DMK’s official channel. Thus, it carries the parties’ symbol rising sun. The channel is started in rival of SUN TV, result of the MK and MARAN’s clash.

News has started leaking that KALAIGNAR TV has almost purchased the new tamil movies which has released till now in this year, including the MEGA SIVAJI and yet to be released DASAVATHARAM. Serials casting famous heroines like Kushboo, first on TV channels ever with Maestro Ilayaraja’s music, lots more attractive stuffs are in the making for Kalaignar TV. All This must have surely shaken SUNTV a bit.

Here is my first try in cartoon related to this issue. Just used paint brush to do it. Don’t expect perfection eh..

After kalaignar TV, there is still more on pipeline for Tamil viewers like MEGA TV, VASANTH TV and JAYA PLUS. Which is expected to be launched one after the another by END of this FISCAL. Which will take the total Tamil Satellite channel list to 20. So its Galla time to TAMIL TV VIEWER’S.

India giving full employement?

2007-07-27T22:49:00.000+05:30

Most people in INDIA would like to fly abroad, study there, work there..Moreover India always have High UNEMPLOYMENT rate due to its population.

i think now the scene is slowly changing. I spotted lot of foreigner's in Chennai City for few days,
Met one Serbian girl and enquired her, on what makes her to be here.. she said, she's in internship training for 6 months.
It seems about 1500 foreigners are present in south India alone for internship program, this season..

Looks like INDIA is cheaper for them in all ways, especially for a studying student.
Will this grow and can we expect more foreigner's work in INDIA?

But my question is, Does INDIA giving full employment to its citizens, to give room to foreigners?

GOK(God only Knows)

Sivaji- The Boss

2007-07-06T22:34:00.001+05:30

After a gap, Yes, I’m back here.
Now back again with SIVAJI- THE BOSS.
I was lucky to get the tickets for the show on first day.(Being a super star fan I never watched his movie on first day.. I usually get tickets only after 4th or 5th day) Got the ticket for 2.30 show on June 15th in PVR Naraina, New Delhi. Yes that was the first day, first show in NEW DELHI. So lucky eh!

The movie was simply magnificent than any other film in INDIA. Yes it was not the usual stuff of Shankar on the screenplay. But still the movie is good and BIG.

Super Star…..
Should I have to say something on him? He is awesome…. BEST PERFORMANCE of Thalaivar.

My favorite song in the move is STYLE... Just for its Special effects. RAJINKANTH comes like European… Was a pleasant treat for His Fans and of course me.

COOL.... This song is another mile ahead of INDIAN CINEMAS..
See more details of the CG on the movie here.

By this post I strongly condemn the CNN-IBN reporter who made a stupid review on this movie, without even knowing the Language of that movie. These people should know the sentiments of people in mind before making such comments. They cannot vomit anything just because they own some URL in a big portal.
Anyway, by this time she would be shocked to see the MASS of Super star by those comments, which crossed 1000 and counting. No blogger would have seen this number as comments recently.

And, Look at HERE, Even BBC talk about RAJINIKANTH!

Of all this...
SIVAJI-THE BOSS stands TALL

SUPER STAR Rock’s!!

Chennai Auto meters!

2007-05-25T23:59:00.000+05:30

Here’s one example on Chennai Auto drivers not using the new digital meters.

Yes! for several years the meter concept is not followed by Chennai autos! But the present government had took pain and made a new order saying, all auto’s should be equipped with Digital meters and new revised fares which is actually favoring auto owners where also given. But still these people follow the same old custom! As per the new revised fare, from Chennai Central to Anna nagar is just Rs.75 to Rs.80 but I had to give Rs.120 few days before.
Some serious action should be taken by concerned department regarding this. I feel Chennai is the only place where Auto Fares are Too High! Compared to, Hyderabad, New Delhi and Mumbai! Not sure about Bangalore although!

Maran's Vs MK Heir's

2007-05-15T23:26:00.000+05:30

Dayanidhi is out from union ministry on the anti-climax of Dinkaran office premises Violence.
What is seen here from a third person’s view like mine is, Karunadhi clearly shown his Fondness towards his Son’s and Daughter’s, Rather than his Nephew Grandson’s. This Fraternal War turned to Blood last week.

Maran brothers established the Giant SUN NETWORK only because of the political support given by DMK, i.e from his grandfather. SUN NETWORK has its corporate office in ARIVALAYAM which is supposed to be the DMK Trust’s building. Sources said that, kalanidhi violated karunanidhi’s warning and published the Survey reports, which trigered the violence. That may be a valid point from DMK or Karunanidhi personally to accuse Kalanidhi maran.

But in what ways Dayanidhi is responsible for all these problems? Why is he forced to resign his post? D.Maran was responsible for a great telecom revolution which happened in India. India has the world’s cheapest tariff in telecom. This came true because of this man. India’s one of the youngest politician and youngest in Cabinet. Many credits go to this man. His expulsion is a loss to Nation, especially TamilNadu.

But what Steps did CM take on Dinakaran Attack?
That’s an unanswered question till date.

Some interesting things happening after theese issues like, RajTv given preference in telecasting DMK related telecasts, which SunTv used to.
Future scenario between SunTv and DMK is uncertain.

Sivaji vs Internet!

2007-03-25T21:52:00.002+05:30

Sivaji -the boss, most awaited movie in Indian Cinema. Because, this is SUPER Star’s MOVIE. Added attractions like SHANKER, AR RAHMAN, and AVM makes the movie even Bigger.
Right from the commencement of shooting, rumors and gossips started spreading about the movie, especially in WEB.
3 or 4 clips of SIVAJI shooting taken by some fans from spain and pune was published in You tube few months back.
Now, even before the official audio release , 3 songs are available in Websites.
I got the songs, All the three songs are simply superb! Ar Rahman Rock’s again! Now, it increases my curiosity to watch Super star visually in those songs.

One more interesting thing I found was,
Being the actual official website of the movie www.sivajitheboss.com (this is yet to be launched.)
There is a bogus site for the movie, www.sivajithemovie.com , and claims itself as official site for the movie! Totally confused eh!

Whatever,the movie stays BIG and increases Bigger, day by day!

Super star naa, Chumma vaa!

Air Deccan's Cheating!

2007-03-21T11:44:00.000+05:30

I have already written about Air Deccan’s false words beyond its potency levels. Right from the beginning air deccan was cheating in Ticketing and in many other issues. Now it’s been caught red handed by CNN-IBN news channel crew, on offloading passengers claiming that, they are late. Here’s the whole Story from CNN IBN website.

Missing SAB TV!

2007-03-15T17:57:00.000+05:30

The Grand Cricket festival has started and it’s only a half treat for Chennai Cricket fans. Already, due to CAS (Conditional access System), 75% of Chennai urban people miss the action, by not watching through main broadcasters SONY MAX. It can be only watched through SET TOP BOX.
Now that SAB TV which is also a subsidy of SONY INDIA, some Matches which are played in same day is been telecasted in this channel, and is now been missing from Cable frequencies in Chennai since few days. SAB TV is actually a FTA (Free to Air) Channel, which was coming in normal cable connection, now it is missing.
I was shocked to find that SAB is also missing from my SET TOP BOX channel list. The reason is ‘?’.
I heard SAB will also be used to telecast matches with regional language commentaries from Super 8 rounds.
I tried to call SCV (main cable connection provider in Chennai and also a subsidy of SUN TV), the phone bell was just ringing!

Update News: After my post, Yesterday during India Match, SAB tv was back on the normal cable. But still unavailable on SET TOP BOX. Where in STB also SAB tv used to come.

Feckless Portals

2007-02-19T22:44:00.000+05:30

It’s good that Global leaders in Webportal business, YAHOO and MSN start their regional language portals for India.
As far as my observation from Yahoo! Tamil and MSN Tamil, most of the news is not updated frequently. The news and information which are posted is mostly of 6 to 7 hours delayed. The movie review section will be at least one month old.
Yahoo! Tamil, shares most of its news and articles from Webulagam, which is clearly given at the end of the article as ‘courtesy: Webdunia’. But still, my question is, if they are going to share from webdunia or webulagam, whats the point in starting a separate language portal under their brand name? Instead they can just provide the link to webulgam and make that particular website’s traffic increase.
When I checked, BBC Tamil, the news was simultaneously updated as its main English portal. But the news is more of International based, unlike other Tamil portals which has only India news.
As a Tamil reader I’m not satisfied of these available portals, because the News is not updated (Except BBC Tamil) and there is no focus on news from rest of the districts in Tamilnadu and Srilanka. Yes BBC gives some SRILANKAN news, but other Tamil NEWS portals just focus mostly on INDIAN NATIONAL NEWS, which we already get from other News websites and News Channels.
However mainstream newspaper Giant Daily thanthi provides its Epaper service in its website, and that gives the news which I required.
But what I need is professional internet TAMIL PORTAL. Like English, French and other languages have.
Special note: There are large number of website's for Kollwood news. Enna ulagamada ithu!

Tuff Season for TAMILNADU

2007-02-08T21:47:00.000+05:30

I can see three problems for Tamilnadu from its neighbouring states at present. Let me share one by one:
The recent judgment made by kaveri tribunal in new delhi triggered the first problem. Kannadigas, are not satisfied with the judgment and say that central government had made injustice to Karnataka. Lot’s of Violence and protest was seen in many parts of southern Karnataka. So, the Road transport between these two states was stopped. No truck movements in and out the borders of these states. Thus, both the state lorry owners face losses.

Now the next problem, KERELA! The central railway ministry ordered for establishment of new Railway division in SALEM, and that seems, not a good news for kerelites. The New division in Salem will be formed by separating areas (railway station’s and routes) like Salem, Erode, Tiruppur, Ooty, Coimbatore and pollachi(All these areas in TAMILNADU) from the existing PALGHAT DIVISION. What the Kerelites feel is, By separating these areas from Palghat divison will lose its existing stoutness, because these station are the high revenue yielding stations. So the Kerelites don’t want to loose the strength of Palghat division, and so Lot of protest is taking place in and out palghat regions and even most parts of the state. Violence and Protest took place here also. Kerela CM has also written a letter to PM on behalf of Kerela people on not to divide the Paghat Division.
For Reference:KERELAONLINE, CHENNAIONLINE

Guess the next problem, obviously Andhra pradhesh, after Karnataka and Kerela. AP stopped the Krishna water supply to Chennai city from Kandeleru reservoir. As the summer approaching the current storage of water wont be sufficient for the City.
For Reference: THE HINDU

Nothing much to comment on these issues. Since this being a Inter-state problems i Will stop with this. Anyways, Its all up to the counter states to cooperate with their sister state and Solve the Problems as soon as possible.

Air Deccan's, SALEM SERVICE

2007-01-14T00:02:00.001+05:30

That was great joy and nearly a dream come true moment for Salem people, when air deccan officials anounced on SALEM-CHENNAI air service. This turned into a disappointment in just 3 months, when some sources said, that the airline is reluctant now.
15 to 16 years had passed after the construction of commercial airport in Salem and still no operations.
People were excited and was curious on the commencement of service, after the reports of air deccan's service..but now it had turned onto a great disappointment.
Air deccan claims that, 'it has asked solid commitment from the trade and industry community of Salem, Namakkal and Dharmapuri districts, to ensure a minimum of 25 tickets both ways and they did not give any answer.' Air deccan added that 'locals did not had enthusiasm to fly. '( SOURCE:THE HINDU report, ) Whatever it is, but the truth was many businessmen from salem and namakkal regions wer waiting for this service and would have used it to the maximum.

Actually, Air deccan's reputation to other destination is also not good.. like CANCELLATION of FLIGHTS..POOR SERVICE.. PATHETIC AIRCRAFT CONDITION.. of all these problems, blaming on Salem peoples enthusiastic levels is not fair on air deccans part. Already, air deccan is also facing some financial drawbacks in recent days and expected to increased in coming months.
Anyways.. in future air deccan should atleast check the feasible conditions of their potency, before giving the word for starting services for new destination. Try not to disappoint some other city and its citizens like this.

POST UPDATE: SALEM HAS GOT THE AIR SERVICE, PLEASE CLICK HERE to know more

Super Police!!

2006-10-24T23:31:00.000+05:30

Hyundai motors india today donated 100 Hyundai accent crdi cars to chennai city police. The L&O department will receive about 75cars and CCTP(Chennai City Traffic Police) will receive 25 cars. By getting this 82bhp car, CHENNAI POLICE are the first and only police department in the Whole India and as well as Sub-continent to drive the Fastest police cars.

From now in chennai city, if any person calls to 100 and reports, the call will be received by the patrolling car which is in your area! great eh!
The colour tone is imitating the NYPD police cars. Anyway look's Cool. Its good that Hyundai came out in such a sponsorship and shown that, it is a MNC with Public interest. Unlike FORD, TOYOTA, which is also in INDIA, but no contribution so far, even being the main stream police car makers in many countries.
Hats off to hyundai!

Man i have to be careful in Chennai roads hereafter. All these days i was confident that, the COPS with their lousy cars cant catch my 85bhp esteem. So all guys its time for us to fold our tails!!

FM (Fast growing Media)

2006-10-01T20:39:00.000+05:30

Chennai's FM is increasing with more stations Day by Day.
Indiatimes's- RADIO MIRCHI
SUNTV's- Suryan FM
Star's- Radio City
Daily thanthi's- Hello FM
Reliance's Big FM
So the Number has increased to 5 among the private stations, excluding the two government FM stations
FM Rainbow and
FM Gold
FM after the commencement of RADIO MIRCHI and SURYAN FM on 2003 had changed the Tamil radio listeners to a different experience.
So the AIR WAR has Started!

Newly launched BIG FM giving a very good mixture of Old and New movie songs, which tries to make its Listeners, stick the same frequency. Actually Reliance has a plans to make its FM station accessible all over the tamilnadu with same frequency!
Apart from this, two months old RADIO CITY giving a good competition to RADIO MIRCHI, on attracting the Youth Ears.
Suryan FM among these cannot be categorized. Because, whenever I tune up to Suryan FM, I can only listen the conversation between the RJ's and Callers. Even the RJ's in Suryan seems to be unfriendly! And they won't forget to utter this slogan to Each caller saying, 'Unga Radio volume reduce pannunga!' If they fail to reduce the volume, the caller is forcedly been disconnected. Suryan has its broadcast also in Coimbatore and tirunelveli, there too the same agenda follows.
Radio mirchi had a massive opening, but later, coz of too many commercials, it too lost some of its listeners. Radio city and Radio mirchi both using the same kind of flavour. Their main target is Youth. Suchitra, ajay, balaji in radio mirchi and Nandu in Radio city are the Notable Rj's. They actually give a differen experience to the listeners. Both channels play western music during saturdays, which actually compensates those who miss Disco theques on that weekend!
RADIO ONE, RED FM also gonna HIT Chennai frequency very soon! Its a Grand treat for Radio listeners!
Other than this WORLD SPACE SATELLITE RADIO plays its own part with its listeners all over the globe!

And the government FM's--->No Comments!
