Sivaji Songs

-
It is probably not legal. But sites like oosai.com have the songs from the movie in streaming format.

I don't expect Rahman's music to be catchy in the first listening. You hear it again and again and start liking it. Of the six songs (seven if you count the two versions of 'Sahara Pookkal Poothatho'), just two stay in memory. 'Sahara Pookkal Poothatho' by Udit Narayan, Chinmayee and Vijay Yesudoss, Gomathi Sree is probably the best of the lot. The song is not great, but is at least good enough that the tune stays in memory after the song is over. 'Vaaji Vaaji...' by Hariharan and Madhusri is slightly fast paced, catchy and could be a hit. Madhusri's voice reminds me of Lata Mangeshkar's current voice. Nothing more to write about it. The song 'Kaaveri Aarum...' by SPB appears to be the usual Rajini's opening song. My father would comment as - 'தெவச மந்திரம் மாதிரி இருக்கு'.

On hearing the songs, I feel A R Rahman is getting old. When was the last hit from him?
While typing this blog, I heard some of the songs a second time to get the lyrics. Hey.. I like them. Hmmm - Another Rahman's album here.

Is Udit Narayan really needed for the Sahara song ? I mean is his voice so good, to make him learn the tamil lyrics and then make him sing it. I somehow feel it just not worth all this.

I have a feeling that his voice is breaking in the high pitch. On top of this, his pronounciation is bad.

how come u forget 'anbe vaa..munbe vaa' in 'silinu oru kaathal'?

and 'newyork nagaram' by isai puyal himself?

sure he is getting old...sure he is making compromise like 'kaveri neerum'...(similar to 'devuda'), but still he comes out with his best like 'vaaji...vaaji...'

any disputes?

Interview Questions

-
Tired of being called to interview fresh graduates who can't think, I gave our HR person three sets of questions as follows. I didn't want to copy paste objective type questions. I wanted to see how they think, present etc. Set 1 1. Write the events that happen between requesting for a web-site address in browser's address bar and the retrieval of the web page. State your assumptions on internet / intranet, static / dynamic web sites. 2. Write a function (secondLargest) to find the second largest number in a given array of integers. (Expectation is just the function in such a way it can be reused in multiple programs with the most optimal solution in any programming language.) 3. Write a data structure in C/C++/C#/Java to store folders and files in a computer. Set 2 1. Give step-by-step instructions to go from your home to college. Be clear that a stranger to these places can simply follow the instructions and still reach the destination with no additional help. 2. Wr...

Is there a thing that doesn't exist?

-
"Is there a thing that doesn't exist?" was the question my son Krishna asked me last night. It has been his habit to listen to my ramblings before he goes to sleep. His point is - my voice gives him good sleep. And I see the reason on why I didn't become a teacher. Coming back to his question - it made me happy, for he asked a difficult question. It made me happier as I can answer this one to my satisfaction. So, I started. "The answer in a single word is No. But let me explain. We perceive everything through our minds. Thousands of inputs from the sensory organs and a memory help our mind make sense out of what the eyes see, ears hear etc. So, to perceive something, the mind must be present. That is the basic premise. To answer your question, we must first define what that "thing" is (that doesn't exist). You can define that thing as something not in your memory. For example, a creature with three legs, four arms, eight eyes and three ...

தேங்கிவிட்ட தமிழ் - உவமைகளும் நகரவாசிகளும்

Anti-fragile  எனும் ஆயிரங்காலத்துப் பயிர் தமிழ் மொழிபெயர்ப்பில் உள்ள சிரமங்களையும் சிக்கலான சிந்தனைகளை எப்படி தமிழில் விளக்குவது என்ற ஆலோசனைகளிலும் சிந்தனைகளிலும் நேரம் சென்றது.  நண்பருக்கு என்னுடைய பழைய கட்டுரைகளில் ஒன்றை அனுப்பத் தேடியபோது நான் நாஸிம் நிக்கலஸ் தாலேபின் Anti-fragile என்பதை விளக்க முயன்ற கட்டுரை கண்ணில் பட்டது.  குழந்தைத்தனமாக சுற்றி சுற்றி  விளக்கியிருந்தேன்.  எழுதிய எனக்கே அது புரியவில்லை. ஆங்கிலத்திலேயே Anti-fragile என்பதை விளக்க ஒரு புத்தகமே தேவைப்பட்டிருக்கிறது.  ஆனால், சிக்கலான இந்திய சமூகங்களே Anti-fragile.  ஆனால் அவை அதை எப்படிப் புரிந்து கொண்டுள்ளன? நாம் உவமைகளைக் கொண்டு சிக்கலானவற்றைப் புரிந்து கொள்கிறோம்.  அந்த உவமைகளும் பெருமளவு இயற்கையுடன் ஒன்றியவை.  தாவரங்கள், விலங்குகள், இயற்கை அமைப்புகள் கொடுத்த உவமைகளைக் கொண்டு சமூக பொருளாதார கருத்தியல்களைப் புரிந்து கொள்வது நமக்கு எளிது; அதுவே வழக்கம் கூட.  வரம்பின்றி வரிகளின் மூலம் மக்களை வதைக்கும் அரசுக்கு  'யானை புக்க புலத்தை' உவமையாகக் கூறினர். அப்படி இருக...
