இகோமுசி
சில மாதங்களுக்கு முன்பு, லயன் காமிக்ஸ் வெளி வந்த டெக்ஸ் வில்லரின் அசத்த வைக்கும் 3 பாக சாகஸத்தின் கதைச்சுருக்கும் பின் வருமாரு..
“நவஜோக்களுக்கும் வெள்ளையர்களுக்குமிடையே சமத்துவத்தை நிலைநாட்ட விரும்புகிறார், இரவு கழுகார். ஆனால், மேஜர் வெல்மேன், யானோடோ எனும் நவஜோ மந்திரவாதி மூலம், சீறும் கரடி்யை, வெள்ளையருக்கு எதிராக கலகம் செய்ய தூண்டுகிறார். அதன் மூலம், நவஜோக்கள் அனைவரையும் அழித்துவிட்டு, நவஜொக்களின் பொக்கிசத்தை அடைய நினைக்கிறார், மேஜர் வெல்மேன். ஆனால், இரவுக் கழுகார், தனது சமயொஜித அறிவினாலும், வீரத்தினாலும், மேஜரின் திட்டத்தை தவிடுபொடியாக்கி், நவஜோக்களுக்கும் வெள்ளையர்களுக்குமிடையே அமைதியை நிலைநாட்டுகிறார் “.
கேள பாய் கதைகளில், தரப்படும் அடைமொழிகள் சுவாரசியாமானது. எடுத்துகாட்டுக்கு, மேலே கண்ட கதைச்சுருக்கத்தில், டெக்ஸ் வில்லரின் அடைமொழி இரவு கழுகார் என்றும், நவஜோ தலைவனை “சீறும் கரடி்” என்றும் குறிப்பிடுகையில் அந்த பாத்திரத்தின் கதைச்சுவை கூடுகிறது.
இரவு கழுகார், சீறும் கரடி் வரிசையில், தமிழகம் வருகிறான் “முரட்டு சிங்கம்”. யார் இந்த முரட்டு சிங்கம் என்று அதிகம் சிந்திக்க வேண்டாம். “இம்சை அரசன் இருபத்தி மூன்றாம் புலிகேசி” மற்றும், “அறை எண் 305ல் கடவுள்” படத்தை இயக்கிய சிம்புதேவனின் அடுத்த படைப்பு தான் “இரும்பு கோட்டை முரட்டு சிங்கம்”, சுருக்கமாக “இகோமுசி”. இதில், முரட்டு சிங்கமாக லாரன்ஸ் தோன்றுகிறார். மேலும், ஒரு சிறப்பம்சம் என்னவென்றால், இந்த படம், சுமார் 35 வருடங்களுக்கு பிறகு வெளிவரும் முழு நீள கேள பாய் தமிழ் திரைப்படம்.
என்ன. இப்பவே டிவிடி வாங்க கிளம்பிட்டீங்களா.. Wait.. The Shooting has just began.

Peace
Peace, The word, that brings calmness in mind. The antogonism, The favoritism, The patriotism, and all isms will disappear, when we think of Peace.
Its Peace, that brings value to the humanity, and dictates ones responsbility in Society.
Finding Peace in Oneself is not so difficult, as it appears. Just take one complete deep breath, with peace as a only thought.
Some would say, Peace is a weapon of coward. May be that was true as it appears, when we see old people like Gandhi/Buddha dictating Peace as the only way for the thriving humanity. It may even appear like they were hiding their cowardice under the mask called Ahimsa.
Here, its important to look at the quote of Gandhi which says “An eye for an Eye will end up in making the whole world blind”. How true it is?
Keep yourself from controversial thoughts, there begins the peace within you and to the society.
Is Life Meaningful?
Is this life Meaninful? Seriously, I really don’t know the answer to this question..
Once I had a thought that, To make Life Meaningful, one has to spend some of his time with his family and Friends.While my friend’s thought says, “Spend some of your Salary, it can change the world of a Child, and that makes life beautiful”
Definition of life changes from person to person, time to time and situation to situation. As I say this, I like to quote the lines from my friends.
Its My Friend Karthik, he finds the meaning of life in the job he does, the words “I feel software job is grt n filled my life with grt meaning” brings out the pride in his job.
Taking the view of my school Friend SriRam, for him “The life provides a lot of opportunity to learn. It has no meaning but dictates us to live” thereby he denies the existence of meaning for life.
Having heard the quotations of life, I leave the conclusion to the readers to decide, What do you think? is this life meaningful?
This blog is based on the mail which I have written a four years back
Where 1=1
Its everywhere 1 is equal to 1, unless one does a incorrect math. You may wonder “why would one write an extra condition in a SQL which doesn’t make any difference, and that adds burden to oneself and to others with wierd extra condition?”
Consider the following SQL,
select * from dept where 1=1 and id = 5000;
This sql query is, of course same as
select * from dept where id = 5000;
Basically, this condition “1=1″ is used by lazy programmers, who wants to create an sql on the fly,i.e, dynamically through scripting, For example, Consider the below vb script.
strSqlStatement = "Select * from Debt where 1=1" For Each Obj in Conditions strSqlStatement = strSqlStatement & " and " & Obj Next
This is a lazy approach, as programmer could have identified the first condition and prefixed it with “where” , instead of adding “and” to every conditions, i.e. as following script.
strSqlStatement = "Select * from Debt " i = 0 For Each Obj in Conditions If i = 0 then strSqlStatement = strSqlStatement & " where " & Obj Else strSqlStatement = strSqlStatement & " and " & Obj End If i = i + 1 Next
Similar to “where 1=1″, there is another lazy programmer approach, its “where 1=2″. The purpose of “where 1=2″ is to extract the list of column names in a table, and dynamically create “CREATE ” or “INSERT ” sql statements without fetching a record. Similar to the previous, There were better ways to do the same.

May Day
May Day, is always a special for Labours, as its celebration for International Worker’s Day. It was in 1886, in Chicago, Labours called for a strike to make work day as eight hours, which previously varies from 10 to 12 hours. The strike got its ignition when several workers were shot by the Chicago Police. The loss of lives has got its meaning when the strike succeeds. This Success has then spread across the world as Eight Hour work day.
Ok, Thats the history. Now, Lets come down to reality, The Economic Downturn, has forced all companies from east to west, to start extract their max output from the labour (having lay off as an Weapon), and worker was no more bonded to Eight hours myth. Companies which had a formal 8 hour policies, extends it by various loopholes around the policies & focussing more on deliveries.
Though the essence of May Day is completely lost, except for the holiday to spare, Lets take a minute to remember those who has given their life for us to live happily and work effectively.
