Lorelle on Wordpress, is one of the best wordpress blog series, where Lorelle presents the loads of information on wordpress and blogging in general . Her writing style was simply awesome and it marks an unique signature in art of writing. Though I dont have any interest in implementing those ideas and blog tips, unknowingly some of it finds it way towards implementation here in this blogs. (inspiration. huh?)

Anyways, Lets go to the story, Two days back, I come across this tip on wordpress by, Lorelle’s working ahead - Future Posts with Wordpress. i.e., Write Today, Post Tommorrow.. Worpress provides an option to edit the timestamp of the post. Using which one can edit the Timestamp of the post to some future date. Wordpress, would release the post to the readers, only after the chosen date and time.

To publish a blog at a future date, just set the timestamp to some future date. Wordpress does the rest of the job.

Edit Time Stamp Feature has been with wordpress for more than a year. But at first sight, Many wont find its real purpose. Lorelle has explained it very well in her blog. I am sure, that this tip holds good for blogspot users too.

Cool then.. Watch out for Extraordinary & Creative blogs Here.. at Regular Intervals.. (they were all lined up 4 u)

It was known that Indian Currency Appreciation, has caused hues and cries all across the country, from IT ( Saturday work plan), to the Textile Industries, (Trippur 1000s lose their job). Almost all industries that has a revenue based on Exports were affected due to this reason. On the first sight, It appears that India was going down. But However, its really, really hard to accept that these were the symptoms of rapid growth of India compared to other world countries.

Manmohan Singh’s Speech (dated 19/12/2007) quite motivative, and make us to look forward.

“Our policy must be tuned [in] to sustain nine per cent growth even if world growth slows down and global food and fuel prices continue to remain under pressure. India should have the ambition and the courage to sustain the current acceleration of growth no matter what happens globally. Our domestic economy can sustain such a growth process but we will need to pursue policies that can sustain growth. While India must remain alert to trends in the global economy, we must also recognise that the world is looking at India as a new engine of growth. If our economy continues to grow despite a global slowdown, we will be able to lift millions of our people from poverty and generate employment for our youth,” Dr. Singh said.

There was a Girl,
who was Tall & Thin & Fair,
her Hair, her Hair,
was a color of Ginger

An English Rhymes from the Tamil Movie, “Katrathu Tamil”, One of the Excellent movie of the year, packed with interesting, informative dialogs and intuitive screenplay. Achan kovil, Xaviers College, Tirunelveli (My Dad graduated there), munusaamy(A tamil Graduate), takes me back and forth in time. Even the dumb story of a dream tiger which is dreaming about the dream desert, adds unknown beauty to the movie. A One line about IT…

“If India is a growing, it has to be equivalent in all industry. if only Leg (IT) is growing, it is a Disease (yaanai Kaal), we have to cure it.”

explains the impact of IT over other industry. Just like real life, this movie has got no logic

Unlike my earlier blogs on Movies, This blog going to be a sketch of incidents that cames to my mind while watching this movie.

Incident 1:

Guindy, 04:30 pm, I have just reached the Gandhi Mandapam Bus Stand after ten minutes ran/walk from the hostel. I have got one and hours to reach the egmore railway station, so that I can catch the train by 0600pm . One and Half hour is more than enough for anyone to travel from Gandhi Mandapam to Egmore, provided 23C is ready to take immediately. As per the wide known fact that the expected bus wont come at expected time, 23C has not yet arrived while half an hour is already gone. My mind races for alternate strategy and it orders me to take any next bus, as any bus from gandhi mandapam has to go thru either saidapet or Guindy. From there, I can travel to Egmore thru metro train. Immediately, I took the bus that just appeared. It was well crowded bus. I have managed to stand in the foot stands. I checked my pocket for money. I was stuck. All I have got is a one rupee coin and a hundred rupee note (luck/unluck) while the ticket price is 1 rupee 50 paise. Conductor has got the one rupee, starts pestering me (sorry:) for the fifty paise which i didnt have. With in five minutes, the bus reached the stop. I have to drop. Now It was funny, but at that time, I was thinking that Ticket Checker, will catch me if I drop without getting ticket. I was clueless what to do. But, in that crowd, suddenly, a hand appears out of nothing, gives me a fifty paise. I said thanks, and give the coin to the conductor and immediately dropped from the bus. While I was walking to Saithai railway station, i realised that i have not even seen the guy who gave me the coin. I said thanks to empty air.:)

This incident is very usual one and It made me help people who were under such incidents on bus, couple of times.
“Katrathu Tamil” , incident has to be the worst of all, on similar grounds.

Incident 2:
This is an incident I have heard in my College when I was doing first year. I dont know whether it is a true incident or just a story.

It should be some year in 1990s, Patrick (Assumed Name) was from Coimbatore. He was always good at his studies and so he has got good marks in entrance examination and ranked in top 50 students in all over Tamilnadu. Because of his marks, He can get any course, in any college he can think of. Being from Coimbatore, the city which is known for its Cotton industries, he choose the course as “Textile Engneering” in CEG. I dont know what made him to choose, CEG more than PSG or GCE. His assumption is that, immediately after completing the course, he can join/contribute to cotton industry over there.

Unfortunately, he doesnt aware of the real status of Textile Engineering department, which is some what like the Tamil department. The opportunity to get a job for textile was very very very less or impossible at those time. But now, textile students wont take much notice of the Textile Industries, as IT industry is swallowing all Graduates.

Back to the story, He has joined the college. After some days, he was broken down when he came to know about the real oppurtunity of Textile Engineering from seniors and friends. Though he consoles himself, the real pain resides calm in his heart. Sometimes, He was disturbed by his Friends who take this incident as a snoop and pour more oil into the burning fire. Days were gone. Sometime during his second semester, he has committed suicide.

In Katrathu Tamil, its other way around.

Pls Note :- This blog was written with the assumption that the reader has already watched the Tamil Movie “Katrathu Tamil”. Anyways, Enjoy reading.
