type='text'>Girlssss!!</title><content type='html'>So who are they really? If you could understand them, you really don't exist. If you don't understand them, you are very close to being called sane. If you've been trying hard to understand them for a long time and feel you can never do it and still you can give it a shot, you're one wise and coool boy/dude/guy/man. Everything in this blog post comes from my encounters with 'The Girls'  and also from few of my friends who are 'The Guys'. Let me pen down my understanding of girls:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. 'If-you-can't-appreciate-me-keep-your-mouth-shut' runs on their minds all the time and if you still tell them 'Hey your lipstick appears too gaudy today', there ends your good time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. They are the ones who think of Mother Teresa for love, Kalpana Chawlaa for brains and Sonia Gandhi for a leader. I doubt if they really know who Mahatma Gandhi, Abdul Kalam and Manmohan Singh are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. They wanna be 'Daddy's girls' but they expect their daughters to be close to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. They can take any seat in any bus. But, a man gets to sit only there where the sign says 'Seats for men'. (How many times have I traveled in buses where men are made to stand while women occupy their seats???)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. You talk for the male community and they call you 'MALE CHAUVINIST'. They talk for girls and they expect to be addressed as 'FEMALE ACTIVISTS'. Who're the 'THEY' I am talking about here?? ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. If a girl saves a puppy that is hurt, we should tune our eyes so very well and squeeze hard the word 'CUTE' out of ourselves. When a boy does the same, he does that only to grab the attention of those 'CUTE' girls. ( Doesn't he?? :P)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The advocate waits around a clipped unfortunate.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-2942592301952334778?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/2942592301952334778/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=2942592301952334778' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/2942592301952334778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/2942592301952334778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2010/09/girlssss.html' title='Girlssss!!'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-8769360801064983338</id><published>2010-04-23T21:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-23T22:33:58.355-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cheap laptops'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Webhosting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='desktops'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shopwiki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='laptops'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gaming'/><title type='text'>Grab a lap!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Looking for a place on the web to get all the details about the laptop world?

Life was so full of life when I was in Chennai at the midst of people who speak Thamizh. Here, I get the chance everyday to meet new faces which keeps my experiences with new people fresh, sound and healthy. All I knew before reaching Infy Mysore DC were my PC, mobile phone, TV shows, late night sleeps (apparently it still has got a place in my schedule), juice shop at Abhiramapuram which is just a km away from my place, the lonely walk along the streets flanking Mylapore tank every night after 9 while keeping my mouth busy with a conversation over the phone, bananas, groundnuts (no swapping of the real meaning with what it is commonly understood as in Tamil:-P) and finally, BLOGS! Wow!! Awesome is an understatement to describe the internet with which I spent most of my leisure and it paid me back immensely! I found the time I spent on all my 437 blog posts really laudable for they became the tools for me to generate money that equaled what any IT firm could have paid me as a fresher/trainee in the first 10 months of training. My blog proved to be my window that took me closer to American dollar. Yups!! My salary was paid in dollars and my blog was my employer! It wasn’t too tough for me to strike a balance between blogging and the entertainment aspects of life that include my friends and family integrated with the society that surrounded me. It was fun earning through blogs. It was fun money. Now, I bring back some pulse to my blog after almost couple of months which was the period I managed to crawl into the world of professionals who break their heads to produce things that are only virtual in existence to earn the very real money which is the only thing that counts in the real world! I find this fact very funny, sensible and meaningful. If you ask me what I do at Infy, I would say I am being trained by professionals and taught lessons on how to create what is called software that can never be felt by touch to serve the purpose of an unseen client who remunerates in the form of real money. It sounds to me more like selling an unreal product overseas to make a living. To talk about an advertiser’s product by making my blog voice my almost fair opinion now seems more genuine and satisfying compared to what I would be doing in the name of a software engineer in the next 1 year. And they say these are all the inevitable changes one has to undergo without searching for a choice. The gap that was filled with my transition from a college student to an IT trainee was covered by a 10 month period during which I got my chance to live a life free from commitments and responsibilities. RESPONSIBILITIES.  It is a big word to be used while referring to someone who has been whiling away time for 10 full months. That was the period when the world around me started to label me irresponsible. Nevertheless, I felt I was doing justice to God’s attempt to keep me engaged with some really busy leisure. I tasted life in a full-fledged attempt to cautiously stay away from giving any kind of thought to the efforts pumped into the process by the company which I knew would soon be trying to extract every ounce of IT knowledge that will keep emerging within every IT professional endlessly. Life used to be a toll-free highway or at least I was not asked to pay anything through my nose to take my life for a drive. Now, I feel I’ve reached the end of the smooth path and at the verge of entering a way that is no smoother. Now, the responsibility has come down on my shoulder to make my own way smooth and fine before I can enjoy the ride again. My life has been my best friend so far and this fellow had given everything in surplus to me to keep my bond with it strong and steady. Now, my life is done with fostering this divine relationship and time has come for my life to enter the next phase where it would test my survival instincts before it dies off. All I’ve got to tell my life is ‘Buddy, I hurt myself after my first attempt to get along without any problem with my bicycle and I loved you. I had no affinity for education and still it was thrust on me by the mere human tendencies that people possess and I loved you more. Every time I got a holiday, at the end of the day I long for more holidays so that I can enjoy you to the greatest extent possible. You taught me everything bad so that I can get a clear picture of everything good that are left out. Sometimes you gave me what I exactly never wished for so that I could realize what I really need. Now, I understand you are not about the way I live. You are everything because of which I live. So, let us continue our journey together for many more years to come. Stay with me and we can enter the dark room called future which takes a new shape every nanosecond and needs illumination to make our own way to the top if that is what you now wish to provide me with’.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-6132693736814464755?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/6132693736814464755/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=6132693736814464755' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/6132693736814464755'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/6132693736814464755'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-lovely-life.html' title='My lovely life'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-1419023515326811913</id><published>2009-04-26T04:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-26T04:25:26.146-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The MailBox</title><content type='html'>Indian premier league season two has kicked off in South Africa with a grand opening match between The Chennai Super Kings and The Mumbai Indians. But the saddest part of the ipl is that it is not happening in India due to security reasons. But it is totally disheartening for every cricket fan. It is a huge &lt;a href="http://www.mailboxandbeyond.com"&gt;mailboxes&lt;/a&gt; loss for the country as well. Reason being inadequate security cannot be accepted, as a nation, I guess it’s the duty of the government to provide security to their citizens. Many &lt;a href="http://www.mailboxandbeyond.com/"&gt;address plaques&lt;/a&gt; could have made a huge business profit via ipl which made even poor people to earn a living. Last ipl was a mass business income to a lot of people. Definitely ipl 2 cannot see the success that ipl 1 had seen. Already a &lt;a href="http://www.mailboxandbeyond.com/"&gt;mailbox posts&lt;/a&gt; couple of matches were called off due to weather conditions. The interest in &lt;a href="http://www.mailboxandbeyond.com/"&gt;whitehall mailboxes&lt;/a&gt; following ipl has definitely dripped at least to a certain amount. The government was totally not supporting their own citizens and bcci was forced to shift the venue with hand in hand support from franchisers. The franchisers definitely need to be lauded for their massive support to the bcci. Hopefully to see ipl 3, the festive season of cricket in India, happening in India.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-1419023515326811913?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/1419023515326811913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=1419023515326811913' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1419023515326811913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1419023515326811913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2009/04/mailbox.html' title='The MailBox'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7801509872830164865</id><published>2009-04-11T04:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-11T04:27:10.371-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker'/><title type='text'>Poker Parade</title><content type='html'>It was the most memorable day for our family. It was the first special occasion that’s happening in our family. After a year of persuading, finally it happened. Yes, it was &lt;a href="http://www.flopturnriver.com/Full-Tilt-Poker-Referral-Code.php"&gt;Full Tilt Poker Referral Code&lt;/a&gt; my brother’s wedding. He, the most admired brother one can have and also the most stubborn son one can have. My brother had a lot of constraints towards choosing the gal and the marriage as well. All credit goes to my mother. She was the one who made the event happen. Breaking all the barricades that was on my brother’s mind and found the perfect gal, for which my brother is still thanking her. Mom was on her toes when it came to my bro’s wedding, because she was very scared that he mite go in for a love marriage. So she was all the more cautious. As she wished, the &lt;a href="http://www.flopturnriver.com/Full-Tilt-Poker-Bonus.php"&gt;Full Tilt Bonus&lt;/a&gt; wedding was phenomenal event. She was all smiles that day which made us all very happy. She’s the best mom one can have. Three cheers to &lt;a href="http://www.flopturnriver.com/reviews/Online-Poker-FullTilt.php"&gt;Full Tilt Poker Referral Code&lt;/a&gt; her. Those cheers will be a lot louder, if she changes her attitude when it comes to my marriage because her next target is me and am going to be equally stubborn. I just pray to god that things go my way.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-7801509872830164865?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7801509872830164865/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=7801509872830164865' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7801509872830164865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7801509872830164865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2009/04/poker-parade.html' title='Poker Parade'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-8055636552186081078</id><published>2009-02-26T17:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T21:16:13.667-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Direct TV for you..</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" mce_style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The TV viewing experience has undergone a dramatic change over the past few years with the introduction of &lt;a href="http://www.directsattv.com/directv/" mce_href="http://www.directsattv.com/directv/"&gt;DirectSatTV&lt;/a&gt; as they offer superior sound clarity and picture quality when compared to the ordinary cable televisions.The &lt;a href="http://www.directsattv.com/directv/" mce_href="http://www.directsattv.com/directv/"&gt;DirectSatTV&lt;/a&gt; offers are quite popular among the people as they have the choice to get their favorite channels in a package that is suitable for them.The main advantage of these packages is that it eliminates the need to pay for channels that we need not see or rather don't like to watch most of the times.The money we spend on &lt;a href="http://www.directsattv.com/directv/" mce_href="http://www.directsattv.com/directv/" target="_self"&gt;DirectSatTV&lt;/a&gt; deals is really worth paying for because they offer the best services at an affordable rate.It provides an entirely different experience to the viewers with its unmatched quality. What do you prefer? Paying your cable operator to get all the channels without filtering out the unwanted channels which you feel are futile along with some charges that includes some unknown hidden costs or getting your own Direct TV to serve all your needs for a cost that would be very much lesser than what you pay for your car wash every month?

This is an old wives' tale. While black can be rather slimming for those who are already slim, buying plus size jeans in black is not going to make you look thinner. While a certain color can be flattering to your face, it is more important to pay attention to tailoring, cut, and style rather than a certain color. &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/wiki/Golf+Balls"&gt;Golf balls&lt;/a&gt; It may sound hard to believe, but black is not always the best choice it is simply a choice like blue, white, or any other color in plus size jeans. &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/wiki/Golf+Shoes"&gt;Golf shoes&lt;/a&gt; The famous opinion when it comes to fashion is that black has always looked good for all those with few extra pounds since it makes them look slim. This is an old wives’ tale. &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/wiki/Golf+Bags"&gt;Golf bags&lt;/a&gt; Though black makes one look slim, buying black plus sized jeans won’t make one look slimmer. Rather than attaching importance to the color, it is always advisable that the priority be given to the tailoring, cut and style. &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/wiki/Golf+Clubs"&gt;Golf clubs&lt;/a&gt; Though it may sound alarming, the fact is that black is not the best of choices and it is just another color like blue, white or red in plus sized jeans.

With what I managed to extract from this blog along with few other domains, I tried hard going around to make some of the best deals on shirts, pants and other attires which people think are essential when one enters the world of professionals. When I first went out with my Debit card to make some purchases, I hardly believed it was me who was carrying a debit card to go on with shopping. But, something within me told me I earned that moment since I had been working really hard on blogs and for the advertisers as well! I earned the moment! And it is time to taste the fruit that was fetched after 10 months of vigorous participation in the blogging business that kept pushing my wallet higher day after day. If you ask me which my first salary was, I would say it was the day when I realized Paypal doesn't stop with just virtual money but also fills my bank account with real money! That was the day I really felt so proud of 'The Cocktail'. This is the blog which made me fly high upon the skies. This is the blog that took all my scribbling to the world where I once sounded insignificant. This is the blog which took me into the world of joy, ecstasy and entertainment. I loved blogging especially over here than other domains. Whenever I build a post for 'The Cocktail', I feel I am adding more life to the blog that contained everything that blossomed within me. With the free days left in my bag of life inching towards exhaustion every 24 hours, I find this blog an extremely amiable and comforting. Who knows??? The cocktail may even serve as a tool for me in the future that can kindle the ocean of memories that are derived from the past one year. I was sad. I blogged. The Cocktail took it to the world. I was happy. Again, I blogged, The Cocktail seemed to smile at me. I was scared of the future. I blogged and I felt The Cocktail provide me a comfort ground to rest on. Though I was initially motivated by money in the beginning, I found within myself in a very short span of time, an impalpable passion for The Cocktail. I can post as many posts I could about this blog on this blog. Because I wish to see The Cocktail as happy as I was when this blog worked for me and filled my wallet with much more than what I actually wanted.:-) Cheers to The Cocktail! :-)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-5209276626733297810?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/5209276626733297810/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=5209276626733297810' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5209276626733297810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5209276626733297810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2009/02/i-cant-stop-loving-my-blog.html' title='I can&apos;t stop loving my blog!'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-3207543140568338505</id><published>2009-02-09T14:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-09T14:21:21.591-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='treatments'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acne problems'/><title type='text'>Acne aces..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are millions of people around the globe being tormented by the problems that result from acne.

I derived an answer lately and it is a collective effect resulting from what happens around me that keeps this movie on my mind. I liked all the characters in the movie and I should say I found the Human torch an interesting and smart bloke. He made me wonder what it would really feel like to have your body set on fire. And that is exactly what has been pulling me back to this movie all along. Very lately, an incident occured in Tamil Nadu that must have gained the recognition of the PMK Leader Dr.Ramadoss, whose senseless Tamil instincts make him translate his title to Tamil (Maruthuvar). And most of the times I read his name as 'Aayaa' (Baby-sitter) which, I heard, was supposed to be 'Ayyaa'. That kindles confusion in my mind regarding his occupation. He is neither a 'Maruthuvar' nor an 'Aayaa' now. He is a politician who runs a political party badging the name 'Paataali Makkal Katchi' and the party comprises of people as stupid and dumb-headed as other normal political followers in India are. If I am questioned what the Human torch from Fantastic 4 has got to do with Ramadoss, I would quote the incident I was talking about as an answer. Once again, there are so many things that lead to the death of a man who lost his brains in order to follow a political party like PMK that is heavily motivated by the dividing line between the paid classes and the paying classes of the society. This has been the topic of interest and used as a political tool for a long time in Tamil Nadu's political arena now because it serves as a feed for the tension that prevails between these two classes. Sri Lankan Government vows to hunt down the LTTE that has been causing problems to the nation for quite a long time now. During the course, they had no choice but to kill people belonging to Tamil origin in Sri Lanka. This has set the spark for politicians in Tamil Nadu to hit the big stage by gaining the world's attention so that they can make the best out of the worst situation the Sri Lankan Government is facing. PMK is one of such parasitic political parties in Tamil Nadu, others being DMK and the party headed by Thol.Thirumavalavan that isn't so famous. The funniest part is that this guy changed his name to Thol.ThirumavalaVAR as a sign of respect which no one is ready to show him. When the Political leaders were resting at their places after creating an agitation among the party followers, these fools in the name of followers were protesting outside the Secretariat and many went on hunger strikes including college and school students who have nothing to do with the happenings in the neighboring nation. One of the followers of PMK went to the extent of showing the world what it takes to become a Human torch-a can of kerosene and a matchbox. Hollywood made use of all the advanced technologies to bring the Human torch to life on the screen in Fantastic 4. But, this Tamil guy proved it is simpler to produce a human torch in reality. Kudos to Muthukumaran! :-P I felt really bad. I felt really bad because I missed out on a chance to record a fool setting himself on fire. By now, his family would have realized nothing could be changed by the death of a single man and his soul would have realized he has been deceived by the politicians. But it's already too late. The gates of hell might be flung open for Mr.MuthuKumaran now. May be Muthu never knew fire would be hot. Now I know what would happen. Ramadoss, the leader of the party to which Mthukumaran belonged, would offer an amount of Rs.5 lakhs as a symbol of recognition and declare the act of this coward a brave one. In another 3 days, Muthukumaran will be out of all our memories. And Sri Lankan army will soon catch the pest called Prabhakaran and hang him in public. Finally, the war would come to an end not because of Muthukumaran but because of the brave and rightful act of the Sri Lankan Government. Wastage is an unavoidable element in any process in the world. Muthu's act will be added to this list during the process at the end of which all the politicians in India, especially Tamil Nadu, who have been supporting LTTE behind the screens would be exposed to the world without mercy. That will mark the day when the fools who call themselves political followers in Tamil Nadu realize that the have wasted all their lifetime supporting a bunch of brutes called Tamil politicians. That will be the day when they will realize they have been falsified and their ideology has been proven wrong. That will be the day when politicians go out of business in this state and political followers bite the dust. I wish it is not too far from here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-1867455008132424139?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/1867455008132424139/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=1867455008132424139' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1867455008132424139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1867455008132424139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2009/01/falsified-fools.html' title='The falsified fools..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SYGfYsrv0aI/AAAAAAAAAXk/igOpzoQB4XQ/s72-c/TorchLee.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-139388589694759257</id><published>2009-01-22T14:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-22T15:11:49.889-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='best home loans'/><title type='text'>Home a-loan..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In those days when money had no big importance as it has now, people were not quite inclined to the idea of going for home loans to get their own properties.

But, I never had a clue about the place where I could get one. I searched almost all the places in Chennai to close a great deal on  a PMP player that combines the operations of mp3 player and a video player.But, I only found my player hunt completely in vain. I was not really interested in giving up my efforts especially after getting to know such products are really available at a location unknown to me. In fact, such a place is unknown to the majority of the population in India where internet age has just begun to rule the clocks. It was for some unfortunate reason why I started blogging almost 14 months back and the point where my intention of earning through blogs started was quite inauspicious. But, I got the chance to explore the various means to making money online and that has made me use my resources to mint some bucks which in turn was used by me to get some gadgets that are really cool at least to me! :-P Lately, I discovered an enormous amount of interest and a kind of addiction to Ebay within me. I found myself browsing through various products available on the site just to make sure I know what they are. :-P  When I was on a routine Ebay browse, I found few interesting products which were very much affordable. And what was running on my mind was to make good use of the opportunities to bring home some of the unique gadgets available on Earth ona lower scale. That was how I stumbled upon this brand new MP4 player and I managed to get it for a price as low as just $36! I was quite skeptical of the genuineness of online shopping. But, I was enthralled when I received the product in the next few days. I was thrown into a world of surprise and even now, when I am holding this product in my hand, I feel it is a dream come true for I never expected to get something like this for such an easily affordable price! Thanks to 'The Cocktail'!! :-D  Let me go technical about this product now because I love this part! It has an in-built memory of 8GB and the TFT screen is built on a 260,000 trie color display which adds great quality to the videos. Though the direct sound output quality is pretty much low (can't expect a pair of speakers as good as SE walkman series mobiles:-P), when the earphones are plugged, you can experience a divine journey through the world of sounds. If you are not impressed by these features, I bet you would fall for the next one, which is exactly what attracted me more towards this PMP. It is touch enabled which means you are granted access to touch the virtual world! Along with it came a stylus pen for the touch operations. I wasn't pretty sure about the video quality when I bidded for this product on Ebay. Now, I find the display more accurate and sharp than a mobile's display with 16 million true color resolution! I know I can't ask for more after paying just $36 for a product which according to me is worth some $150. Folks, I didn't stop with this. There are few more products which I won on Ebay through the process of bidding and the good news is I received almost all of what I won! Bidding more! Winning more! Experiencing the joy of life! :-P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-4603050446674812554?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4603050446674812554/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=4603050446674812554' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4603050446674812554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4603050446674812554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2009/01/finally-my-dream-comes-true.html' title='Finally my dream comes true!!!'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SXj3gKtnmDI/AAAAAAAAAXY/6QMxF9gHAIw/s72-c/My+mp4+player.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-4436648000039711872</id><published>2009-01-21T12:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-21T13:29:48.260-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hire a car'/><title type='text'>Care for a car?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;London is a place filled completely with beauty and scenic views.

I always had the idea of making the interior of my car look attractive and hence it was now time for me to give my car the best it deserves. First, I decided to get a DVD stero set to ensure entertainment for my family while we are traveling. Fortunately, Shopwiki came in very handy and I had no big difficulty in placing an order online for a &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Car+DVD+Players"&gt;car DVD player&lt;/a&gt; which was carefully chosen by me from the large variety of &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Car+DVD+Players"&gt;DVD players&lt;/a&gt; available on Shopwiki. All that I was required to do was to select the product of my choice and pay for it. The products available on shopwiki are of extremely high quality for easily available costs. My second step towards making my brand new car as wonderful inside as it appears outside is to get few pairs of &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/search?q=Car&amp;amp;sb=1"&gt;booster car seats&lt;/a&gt;. I feel that these car seats bring down upon the drivers a great feeling that would rush into them while they are driving race cars. And I wanted to experience what it feels to be a real racer! Finally, my car now appears exactly the way I wanted it. I am extremely grateful to shopwiki for making shopping extremely easy and highly satisfying. Also, it has resulted in adding up enormous joy and love to our family. No one can ask for more from life than this! Make your shopping easy, quick and comfortable by making good use of Shopwiki!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-1050153385486857778?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/1050153385486857778/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=1050153385486857778' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1050153385486857778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1050153385486857778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2009/01/shopping-made-easy.html' title='Shopping made easy!!'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7854237608988037399</id><published>2009-01-11T22:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-12T00:07:29.514-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nouveau Riche University'/><title type='text'>Real education on real estates..</title><content type='html'>People and those belonging to this generation are more inclined to professional education than the ones that give them mere knowledge but no professional hands on approach.

I understood how selfish and incorrigible these truck drivers and their supporting unions are for they want the Government not to burden them with these taxations but they don't mind if their burden is transferred to the people of the nation. I can't believe that these truck drivers are totally unaware of the fact that the Government turns its attention to the people to make up for what they lose to the truck drivers in the form of tax exemptions and fuel price cuts. For once, I am quite happy with the position Government has taken in this issue. It has thrown out statements, firm and strong in their depths, against the striking truck drivers and owners and has even gone to the extent of issuing charges against some of the Unions that have almost brought the nation to a standstill. When the Government that has all along been soft when it comes to terror and releasing the monotonous "We-condemn-this-act-of-terrorism" statement, stood strong against the literal menace of these mean truckers' union, the oil companies which joined hands with the latter to make use of the serious situation to get some fruit out of the air, showed a 180 degree change in their stance and are now back on the rails to continue with their works. Now, the only pests left are the Truckers' unions which need some serious lessons to be taught the hard way by the Government. As a result of these unions, the formation of which according to me should be abolished in a nation that calls itself secular and gives out equality for everyone in front of legislation, the nation saw one of the most crucial periods of all time and still the aftereffects can be felt by the Indian society. Demand for oil all over the country is at its highest over the last few decades. Bunks ran out of oil and I was horrified to see people wait in queues that were not less then a mile in their lengths in the petrol bunks along the GST. The fantastic part of the fable is that I didn't find a small change in the magnitude of congestion after the truck drivers sought after a strike that cut the fuel supplies to almost all the places in the country. This came as a hard slap on the faces of the striking truckers' unions and Government has even made arrangements to make the army get the necessary oil supplies for the people of the nation which has now endangered the jobs of the truck drivers. As a result, the people who are badly affected by the strike is no more the people of the nation but are the very people who joined hands to form what are now considered as a flock of dumb brutes or truckers' unions. Since the unions are now facing a bigger crisis than ever before, I guess they would call off the strike very soon or the nation would call of their services which are almost unwanted now since we have an alternative in our hands called the army that has always been highly reliable. For the first time in its tenure, the Government has helped the nation by being firm and helping the people make the so called Unions bite the dust. Kudos to the Indian Government! (I can't believe I am appreciating politicians! :-P)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-789465541157158368?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/789465541157158368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=789465541157158368' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/789465541157158368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/789465541157158368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2009/01/striking-hard-strikers.html' title='Striking hard the strikers..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SWm0AopwCsI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/yNRiiaI__tU/s72-c/truck.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-3410561717218021119</id><published>2009-01-06T03:45:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-06T03:58:10.668-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='back'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PR update'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='prescription eyeglasses'/><title type='text'>I am back!!!</title><content type='html'>Hi my dear fellow bloggers! I am back again! It has become very usual for me to abandon my blog for few days and again get a good grip on it. But, I can always quote a good reason for my actions as a result of which my blog gets affected in a big way. In another couple of months, I'll be completely leaving this blog blank with no new posts since I would shortly be entering the world where people budge for money. This is the world which I would like to call the world of professionalism. Yesssss! I am about to work for a leading IT firm in the country, the name of which I don't wish to disclose here as I feel that would enndager my chances of becoming the CEO or perhaps the Mentor of the firm very soon :-P Anyway, I've two full months in my pockets and I can do wonders over here. Hey blogger buddies, I owe you all a post full of praises since you took care of my blog's Alexa while I was away. And its time to hook up the reason! I was completely fed up with the other blogs which I was maintaining for monetary purposes. Day after day, I kept posting hundreds of sponsored and non-sponsored posts and I feared that would affect my ability to add some posts here, which is my personal blog. And I want to keep my personal blog as clean as possible even if it is going to serve the same purpose as all my other blogs did. This blog of mine earned me more than $1000 now! Kisses to 'The Cocktail' !!!! Lately, when Google woke up for a pagerank update, my efforts in pushing this blog to the front of the lot worked for me and now this is no more a PR2 blog. Don't feel sorry. It's now PR3! Now, my efforts are directed to make my blog sustain or score a greater PR in the future. Once again, thanks for the Welcome song buddies! I'll soon be visiting your blogs! Belated New Year wishes from your friend!!! :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-3410561717218021119?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/3410561717218021119/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=3410561717218021119' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3410561717218021119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3410561717218021119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-am-back.html' title='I am back!!!'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-2964128459267478682</id><published>2008-12-26T13:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-26T13:47:16.482-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Catch the casino!</title><content type='html'>Casinos have become highly popular in the recent times and now, these are the places that symbolize the statusof an individual more than his passion to play the games that are fuelled by luck.

Later, when I was convinced that my blog carried some life with it and is ready to be monetized, I took the help of pay sites like payingpost.com that helped me build my blog further and stronger. Posts that talk about the products which are required by the advertisers to gain good recognition among the millions of internet users around the globe to boost their sales are called paid posts. &lt;a href="http://www.payingpost.com/"&gt;Advertising on blogs &lt;/a&gt;has become one of the crucial tools to promote the advertisers' products. A large section of the world community opts to visit online stores and gather information on latest products through blog posts than going out to the shops in search of the desirable products. Thus, internet has made shopping very much easier for online punters. Advertisers understood this and they wanted to grab the attentions of most of those who use internet and are pretty inclined to going through blogs posted by fellow internet users. The days when information passed from one person to the other in the form of word of mouth has changed. Now, the technique behind the advertising market is word of blog. If the review of a product from an advertiser is available on a blog, the product is said to be popular irrespective of how many people go for it. Thus, has given the advertisers a new hope to survive the race to the top and they know exactly where to start from. Several pay sites similar to payingpost are available today and only a very few are as genuine as payingpost. I tried monetizing my blog on some of the sites which proved to be completely annoying since I don't get what I deserve and I always got something lesser than what I was actually supposed to get. I lost about 35% of my earnings in the past in the form of hidden fees to the sites I was talking about. Finally, I reached payingpost, which is an extremely encouraging platform for bloggers who are longing to see their blogs earn for them. It is also a tool for the advertisers to take their products from their stores directly to the millions of homes through internet. Thus, blog advertising proves beneficial for both the advertisers and the bloggers. If you are able to earn through your blogs, you should be thankful to two people. One is the advertisers who believed in you and gave you the opportunity to talk about him or his products and the other one is the site that brought this advertiser to your blog! Blog advertising is more powerful than advertising for the same products on television channels! If you have the right tool in the form of a blog, you can have a head start in the blogging business and help the advertisers serve their purposes! If you still have any doubts on whether blogs really work for you, you should pay a visit to &lt;a href="http://www.payingpost.com/blog/use-sponsorship-to-earn-money-through-your-blogs/"&gt;payingpost.com&lt;/a&gt; that has everything you need to understand the underlying techniques for making your blog as rich as you would be in the short future!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-5875219753722063842?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/5875219753722063842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=5875219753722063842' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5875219753722063842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5875219753722063842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/12/blog-for-your-advertisers.html' title='Blog for your advertisers!!'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-6246884966498925703</id><published>2008-12-11T23:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T23:29:59.033-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jokes'/><title type='text'>Just jokes..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Jokes are meant not only for jesters and clowns who perform in the fun shows, fares and circuses. &lt;a href="http://www.lotsofjokes.com"&gt;Jokes&lt;/a&gt; are fun and fun is for everyone.When the world is turning around so fast, we need something to make our hearts feel light and lips carry some smile.

The attitude didn't really workout properly for this man because he committed two big mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. He overestimated his strength and capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;2. He underestimated the patriotism that keeps Indians going all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If you were following the news few days back, you would have spotted this young coward from the soil that is known for its acts of cowardice, which are to produce cowards, name them terrorists and make them infiltrate India to disrupt the harmony that exists in the country. This Pakistani kid put himself into such a serious issue without realizing the fact that he has been catapulted against India, which has a very strong attachment to great morals and thoughts. The weakness of a terrorist is he doesn't have a land other than Pakistan and only the members of the ISI agency, which is funded by the Pakistani Government, support their causes because these are also their causes. With India growing fast in terms of world status, Pakistan couldn't outrun India in the race to Asian supremacy. Hence, they chose to pull down India instead of trying to go up the ladder. This is exactly the reason why Pakistan trains militants in its soil and divert them against India, giving the senseless islamic process a stupid name called 'Jihad'. But, Indians are so efficient and smarter than these terrorists that they want to get them deleted from the memory of the world. A group of terrorists, who never understood how hard Indians are, stepped into the arena of violence. They expected the task to be a child's play. But, in the end, Indian army and commandos proved them they actually made themselves preys for our brave men, who were longing for some terrorists' blood for a long time since Kargil war lies almost 10 years back in the book of history. Pakistan have had such extreme humiliations in the past and still it has not learnt the lesson, which is that India can never be lowered to the status of a poor nation, which is poor not only in economic terms but also in intellectual terms and intelligence. Pakistan feels India can be mashed down by helping terrorists enter the greatest nation of all time. But, it hasn't understood the fact that it is actually India which has killed more number of Pakistani terrorists in the recent days than any other nation. This has proved to be a hard slap right on the face of Pakistan. Even after ISI agents breaking their heads to cause extreme damage to India and failing terribly in their attemps, Pakistan send a team of young kittens which came here assuming its a land of food for their terror-hungry tummies. But, after witnessing the way Indian army and commandos worked together to get the skins of these kittens to make their boots, I assume Pakistan to have understood what India really is. One of these pussy cats was caught alive and its name is Ajmal. That is the one in the picture above. I feel these terrorists were trained by the Pakistan army because the way they failed to accomplish the task assigned looked similar to the way the Pakistan army retreated after India stuck the the label 'SORE LOSER' right on Pakistan's forehead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-6453911758619158323?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/6453911758619158323/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=6453911758619158323' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/6453911758619158323'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/6453911758619158323'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/12/target-terrorism.html' title='Target terrorism..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STg0f5kdEXI/AAAAAAAAAWo/1mq7aEQT0V4/s72-c/2008120257410101.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7092769840026867711</id><published>2008-12-02T04:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-04T11:43:42.940-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The real hero of the day..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STgqbrUj_sI/AAAAAAAAAWg/3CLCtSkLFMg/s1600-h/unni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STgqbrUj_sI/AAAAAAAAAWg/3CLCtSkLFMg/s320/unni.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276013618438340290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;He is the brave man who sacrificed his precious life to save the nation from the strong holds imposed by the cowards in the name of terrorists who have no guts to face the gunshots of our army but have the hearts to execute people who are defenseless and harmless just for the sake of a stupid islamic ideology called 'Jihad'. When the media was continuously following the developments that were going on within the Taj, no one had any clue of what exactly was going on the minds of the commandos who put their lives at stake to save the day. Major Unnikrishnan wouldn't have realized it would be the last day in his life when he dropped out of the bad in the morning. Fate was right on his tail in the form of his opinions and ideas. When the commando team was struggling hard to bring down the defense of the militants, Unnikrishnan decided to take them on his own and took his position on the third floor. But, he never knew the terrorist forces were too strong for him to break through. When one of his fellow men fell down after being hit by the bullets shot from the guns of the terrorists, Unnikrishnan kept aside his plans against the militant force and stepped forward to give a helping hand to his mate. Unfortunately, that was when one of the terrorists caught Unni on his radar and kicked of the last few moments of Unnikrishnan's life. The bullets that pierced the cloudy atmosphere on that floor didn't stop with hurting a brave Indian very badly. It went to the extent of sucking the soul out of a body that served the nation for more than 12 years now. With this manuever from the bullets fired by the terrorists, Unnikrishnan's life came to a tragic end. As an ordinary individual, all I can do is to show others I love my country and I can die for the same. But, when asked to put the words into actions, I would think at least once before risking my life because that is a normal human intention. But, Unnikrishnan wasn't a normal human. He is a man above all of us. He did wat his mind commanded him to do. His soul was penned to serve the nation. With his death came the reaction from the other commandos which proved fatal to the terrorists, who almost pleaded and cried while they became preys to our men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-7092769840026867711?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7092769840026867711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=7092769840026867711' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7092769840026867711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7092769840026867711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/12/real-hero-of-day.html' title='The real hero of the day..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STgqbrUj_sI/AAAAAAAAAWg/3CLCtSkLFMg/s72-c/unni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-5070192736591669047</id><published>2008-12-01T23:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-04T10:54:00.978-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='man'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='irresponsible'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='irregular'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='traffic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bike'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='congestaion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='police'/><title type='text'>Unethical parking..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STZVUqlP2ZI/AAAAAAAAAV0/Djg8UY0lHxE/s1600-h/h-0005.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STZVUqlP2ZI/AAAAAAAAAV0/Djg8UY0lHxE/s400/h-0005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275497827027376530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Chennai is buzzing with big traffic these days and we can't escape the clutches of congestion irrespective of the ways we take to reach our destinations. There has been a common voice among the people of the city that has started sounding louder lately against the Traffic policemen, who, in an attempt to make Chennai a traffic-free city, took exactly the wrong course and made Chennai a city full of one-way roads. Thus, if you are a Chennaiite and if you wish to travel from Guindy bus stop to Adyar malar hospital, it is no more an easy task like what it used to be few months back. You are not supposed to take the straight road that connects these two places. Instead, you are required to travel straight towards Saidapet and take a right turn, which would bring you back to the straight road that connects Guindy junction to Adyar. This means instead of followin one edge of the triangular path, you would be diverted to take the longest route from one point to the another on this triangular setup and this incurs you loss of time, fuel, energy and most of all, health. If you have the heart to put a halt for piling up disheartening facts which have been given room by improper planning process carried on by the traffic policemen and consider the imperfectionists within ourselves, we can design so many ways to evade the traffic problems that are posing extreme discomfort to the public. I happened to catch the view of a bike that was parked right at the middle of the road parellal to my street last night. It was one of the busiest roads in the locality that has dedicated all its space for residential complexes. Initially, I thought it belongs to a policeman since the rules had been changed (AGAIN) and the street had been turned into a one-way. Indian policemen have the habit of using their bikes, registered to Government, as barricades to prevent the entry of vehicles into certain streets. Later, I realized it belongs to a man who was so sincere to the person who called up to his mobile phone. While this man was busy with his conversation over the phone, I found 3 cars standing one behind the other, waiting for this mobile man to show some generosity towards them. After having a glance at the chaos that was about to be created at that place, he turned away to concentrate more on the conversation. After few seconds, there was a complete congestion on the street because of the blockade dropped in by these 3 cars in the front. As a result, the adjoining main road suffered a big congestion that led to a big inconvenience to all those who decided to pay a visit to the area. Thus, a small irresponsible act could lead to a big hassle in the environment surrounding the cause. Thus, being responsible isn't a choice. That is the rule to be followed by not only the policemen but also by every single person who is called a citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-5070192736591669047?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/5070192736591669047/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=5070192736591669047' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5070192736591669047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5070192736591669047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/12/unethical-parking.html' title='Unethical parking..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STZVUqlP2ZI/AAAAAAAAAV0/Djg8UY0lHxE/s72-c/h-0005.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-4039224525990973412</id><published>2008-11-30T07:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-02T10:55:53.311-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='squirrels'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='feed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evening'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creatures'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animals'/><title type='text'>The abandoned patio..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STWED3lcTeI/AAAAAAAAAVs/OV9TnutgLG8/s1600-h/h-0002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STWED3lcTeI/AAAAAAAAAVs/OV9TnutgLG8/s400/h-0002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275267740529872354" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The place you witness in the picture I've put here is my terrace. There were days when I spent more than 4 hours at a stretch on my terrace. Since the whole locality is considered to be the hub of cultural heritage and dominated primarily by residential structures, you can't find even a single obstruction at least for the next 4 or 5 kilometers, which would be quite clear if you have a glance at Chennai from my terrace. I can't assure you of the visibility of the whole of Chennai city from here because mine isn't the tallest apartment in the region. Also, you can enjoy the cool winds blowing across your body when you pay a visit to my terrace after 6 P.M. Most of my friends prefer spending time on the terrace than within my place, which, I guess, is because of the fact that the kittens have made a complete mess of the whole place. Even I opt for my terrace if given a choice to select my living place. :P These are quite smaller significances that cling on to the terrace. It means a lot to those small birds, which have become frequent visitors to our terrace since my mom love them as much as she loves me and feeds them with boiled rice made from what is known as the Rs.2 rice bags provided by the Government. I don't know how these birds convince themselves to take their beaks on their feed for it smells like something that smells really bad. I don't know what the worst smell I've ever experienced in my life is. But, I am quite sure the smell of this feed for birds made out of the rice provided at a very low price by the Tamil Nadu Government would occupy a place on the list of top 10 extremely bad smelling food items in the world! I have a strong feeling that says these birds don't have the sense of smell. It has been raining pretty heavily for the past few days and the roads are almost lost and may be found when the rain water stagnant on the surface drains off in few days and the Government sends its team comprising of Archeological experts to dig out the road which it laid for use by the people of the state. Our terrace had greater exposure to the heavy downpour and this restricted birds and squirrels from coming out of their warm and cozy nests built of twigs and other things which we threw calling them 'WASTES'. With the surface being wet for these creatures to even step on, I don't know where they are getting their feeds from for the past few gray and wet days. I've never seen my terrace so empty in the past and I was shocked to find not even a single living creature moving briskly across the terrace, which was a very common sight few days back. The terrace which was once flooding with squirrels and birds like crows, pigeons, woodpeckers and black dodo is now wearing an empty look, which is really worrying. I wish to see things come back to normal sooner and the blue sky as early as possible so that I can make sure these creatures still remember our terrace that was once hosting food carnivals for all these tiny living creatures on every single day. I am expecting the best for all these tiny friends of mine before long! :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-4039224525990973412?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4039224525990973412/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=4039224525990973412' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4039224525990973412'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4039224525990973412'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/abandoned-patio.html' title='The abandoned patio..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STWED3lcTeI/AAAAAAAAAVs/OV9TnutgLG8/s72-c/h-0002.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-8817150070509135337</id><published>2008-11-29T12:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T13:38:50.831-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='humour'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='small'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='entertainment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='significance'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='essecne'/><title type='text'>The twisters..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are few moments in my life which directed me to an arbitrary future and here I am, today, producing this post on my past after traveling 22 years on the highway called LIFE, which is a composite mixture of numerous exciting incidents and few disheartening happenings. Leaving the bad episodes in the past and carrying the best moments of life is a solution to all the problems one might have to face in his/her life. And I feel this is exactly what has kept me going, though I don't know where I stand now. At this juncture, I wish to recollect some of the insignificant incidents that didn't add much to my life, but seemed quite big in their statures when they took place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. Aquarium :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STGzypN_SrI/AAAAAAAAAU8/5NmXoEdYD64/s1600-h/hari5-0017.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STGzypN_SrI/AAAAAAAAAU8/5NmXoEdYD64/s400/hari5-0017.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274194321266920114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This brought me so many problems from all corners of my house. First, it was my mom who felt she had had enough with the fishes I grew because I make a big mess of the whole place while trying to get these finned friends of mine new water to swim through. I even brought few attractive stones that had some glitter on their surfaces home from the river Chenab, believing they would have good amount of minerals in their crystal structure which is good for fishes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. The man's best friend :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STG0QnUpGMI/AAAAAAAAAVE/oq58KnLOCXw/s1600-h/%3Buj.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STG0QnUpGMI/AAAAAAAAAVE/oq58KnLOCXw/s400/%3Buj.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274194836154030274" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is a she and she a man's best friend. There had been only one day in my life when I lived without having a dog at home. That happened when the 'HE' died at 12 and I had to fight hard against the opinions carried by my parents which were flatly against the idea of having pets at home. The next day, I won the battle and we bought the 'SHE' we have at our place now. You can call her Tina. Or even Dog-Rider..:-P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. Cricket :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STG0buoVVJI/AAAAAAAAAVM/CRSqd-f7Aww/s1600-h/hari5-0078.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STG0buoVVJI/AAAAAAAAAVM/CRSqd-f7Aww/s400/hari5-0078.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274195027094230162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was during my school days when I found a big interest in me for the game and encouragements in the form of positive comments on my bowling skills were flowing in to keep my spirit high, I guess. What you see in the picture above is the corridor on the ground floor at my residence, where I practice bowling with a single stump rotted into the ground..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. Bike riding :&lt;/span&gt; (I don't have any other picture that reminds me of my bike..:P)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STG0yIA9qPI/AAAAAAAAAVU/2MBK_yLSb9o/s1600-h/hari-0075.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STG0yIA9qPI/AAAAAAAAAVU/2MBK_yLSb9o/s400/hari-0075.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274195411865544946" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After all those advices from my parents and almost all my friends regarding bike riding, I now realize find I am still the same old greenhorn rider on the roads of Chennai. Though I had to obey the orders of my fate and make few accidents happen (hehe.. :-P), I feel I am a good driver. Please forget the word NOVICE. :D  And believe me, I am a good driver!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5.

I am committed. We have so many commitments in our lives. And the best commitment would always be the latest commitment. When you come across a new one, that becomes the best. Commitments go endless. Lover boys say love blows the blue flowers on your face. I guess I can feel that. I am in love. I love this girl whose description might run to several web pages. If you wish to have more information about this girl, please do go through all my blog posts. My blog is a beautiful girl. Beautiful at least to me. I love this girl. You would have heard of blond girl. But, I present you the BLOG GIRL here. :P  (Did you really expect a serious answer? From me? :P)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many things in our lives that go unnoticed but would have added great essence to the same. Experiencing or just thinking of what your life had for you in the past makes you feel really good. Aquarium may sound silly. But, that is one of the elements of the Jigsaw puzzle called 'My Life', without which my life would stand unfinished. Find the best parts of your life irrespective of how small they are and relish the life that has neither a rewind button nor a fast forwarding key. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-8817150070509135337?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8817150070509135337/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=8817150070509135337' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8817150070509135337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8817150070509135337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/twisters.html' title='The twisters..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STGzypN_SrI/AAAAAAAAAU8/5NmXoEdYD64/s72-c/hari5-0017.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-900254960184751029</id><published>2008-11-27T23:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T12:18:05.275-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='killings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cowards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='encounter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='security'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cowardice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NSG'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='commandos'/><title type='text'>Our commandos command respect..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STGjQD7Lt2I/AAAAAAAAAU0/vSs9IT2pE7U/s1600-h/imageloader2eu9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 263px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STGjQD7Lt2I/AAAAAAAAAU0/vSs9IT2pE7U/s400/imageloader2eu9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274176134954334050" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Applauds and praises are flooding the houses where the brave commandos live. Extremely joyous family members welcome these appreciations with great satisfaction and tremendous pride. All the disturbances that rippled on the minds of the family members of these brave hearts finally came to an end when the commando forces joined hands with the National Security Guards and the Marine Commandos to pin down the cowards who took everything they had on innocent and defenseless people within the three major star hotels in the city. The battle between the security forces and the pests who called themselves terrorists lasted for more than 60 hours and finally, the MARCOS along with the commandos put a hard end for the battle by slapping down the face of terrorism. Thus, terrorists and terrorism are made to lick the Indian boot. I was so worried about the lives of the commandos which had been put on line to save the hostages inside the hotels. So, I stayed awake for the night and closely followed all the developments which were brought to me by the news channels. For once, I accept these channels proved good. I was shocked to hear the sounds of gun fire and blasts because I wasn't sure who was being shot since the media crews were not allowed to get into vicinity of the Taj Mahal hotel. Suddenly, I saw someone throwing a dead man's body out of the window. Since this man was completely dressed in black, I felt bad assuming he is a commando. Later, when the NGS DG addressed the media, he clarified it was the body of one of the terrorists. I felt heartened because I saw a terrorist being thrown out like a dead dog by the invincible commandos of India. At last, the place was cleaned completed of terrorist pests and our heroes came out of the building carrying the look of victors. Thus, India has literally slapped hard on the face of terrorists and sent a strong message to the Deccan Mujjahiddins, which is "TERRORISTS ARE STRAY S.O.Bs AND WE ARE HUNTING THEM DOWN FAST". The encounter has added a diamond to the crowns of the commandos and now they can make new boots from the skins of the terrorists they hunted down in the past three days!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-900254960184751029?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/900254960184751029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=900254960184751029' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/900254960184751029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/900254960184751029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/our-commandos-command-respect.html' title='Our commandos command respect..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STGjQD7Lt2I/AAAAAAAAAU0/vSs9IT2pE7U/s72-c/imageloader2eu9.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-6716593328397645514</id><published>2008-11-27T22:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-28T08:35:35.059-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drinks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alcohol'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alcoholic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vodka'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pub'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='funny'/><title type='text'>The alcohol effect..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STAckmI1TJI/AAAAAAAAAUE/gwLjrwWuFiw/s1600-h/kf+%288%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STAckmI1TJI/AAAAAAAAAUE/gwLjrwWuFiw/s400/kf+%288%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273746578689313938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Most of you might know what it would feel like to taste an alcoholic substance or beverage like brandy or vodka. These alcoholic beverages make you look so funny and whatever you do after consuming alcohol would, for sure, entertain the others around you. I had been to pubs several times and I have seen people becoming too emotional after few shots of vodka or any other alcoholic drink for this issue. I don't understand why they turn emotional when they are completely out of their senses. Another characteristic feature of alcohol consumers is they lose control over themselves and they would find it really difficult to stop with the last shot they had. Thus, if a person has a peg of brandy and flies away out of the world to the heavens, as described by most drunken dudes, he would not think twice to go for another shot even if he had built a strong principle of not going beyond the alcoholic edge while and before entering the pub. Hence, he forgets his own principles and self-built rules and won't hesitate to go for as many shots at the alcohol as possible, no matter how much his wallet can handle. Another set of people are those who don't like the way alcoholic beverages taste but try them just to experience the 'HEAVENLY DELIGHT', as defined once again by alcoholics, at the end of the shot. Some people like the smell of alcohol and they drink voraciously just to bring everything that went in them out through the process called 'VOMIT'. (Disgusting??? Sorry. Can't help it.. :P) Recently, when I went to a pub, I happened to get the sight of a man who, I suppose, had already crossed several shots of brandy. Suddenly, his unsteady eyes threw a stare at me. I knew I shouldn't have looked down upon him like that. He gestured at me in attempt to get to know what was so interesting about him that made me turn my attention to him. That was when I decided not to take my eyes on any of those within a pub. Apart from these, so many other funny incidents can be experienced when you meet an alcoholic gentleman. The best of all these traits of a drunken man in Tamil Nadu is that he would start delivering movie dialogues, imagining he is the hero of the hour! If you get a chance by your luck, do meet a drunken man and you would realize what real entertainment is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-6716593328397645514?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/6716593328397645514/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=6716593328397645514' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/6716593328397645514'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/6716593328397645514'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/alcohol-effect.html' title='The alcohol effect..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STAckmI1TJI/AAAAAAAAAUE/gwLjrwWuFiw/s72-c/kf+%288%29.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-5248531867613481693</id><published>2008-11-27T20:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T21:49:54.777-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Reload yourself</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"&gt;&lt;link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CSun%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:punctuationkerning/&gt;   &lt;w:validateagainstschemas/&gt;   &lt;w:saveifxmlinvalid&gt;false&lt;/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt;   &lt;w:ignoremixedcontent&gt;false&lt;/w:IgnoreMixedContent&gt;   &lt;w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext&gt;false&lt;/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt;   &lt;w:compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;w:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;w:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;w:useasianbreakrules/&gt;    &lt;w:dontgrowautofit/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;w:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"&gt;  &lt;/w:LatentStyles&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 10]&gt; &lt;style&gt;  /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; 	mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 	mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; 	mso-style-noshow:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; 	mso-para-margin:0in; 	mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:10.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-ansi-language:#0400; 	mso-fareast-language:#0400; 	mso-bidi-language:#0400;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;                              &lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Are you a machismo who is always on the look out for an adventure?

I liked this movie since I loved the way Robert Downey Jr. had played the role of Tony Stark. I found his French beard and hairstyle really adorning. But, I would like to disclose the fact that you won't find anything related to that movie in this post. If you are searching for a movie review, please quit reading further. In this post, I would be discussing about an interesting character, who lives very closer to my place. A family consisting of a dad, a mom and a younger brother is all that he owns apart from the half trousers and shirts which he puts on. He is a puny guy whose life runs on alcohol. In fact, I should say his life is swimming across an ocean of alcohol.:P  Whenever we take the game of cricket to the street, we would lose at least 2 minutes because of this guy, who needs a lot of time to walk from one end of the street to the other since the path he follows would be totally uncertain and even God doesn't know what he would step on the next moment. Some of my friends even admire this guy because no matter how much alcohol occupies the small space provided by his stomach, he would still walk, though not along a straight path. Sometimes, he would even encourage the cricketer within him by grabbing the cricket bat from us and commands the bowler to bowl the best delivery he could! It was almost 11P.M last night when I went out to get some bananas which would make good food during late night blogging. I found this guy talking something to the Deity inside a small temple at the end of the street. After passing by him, I heard a sudden thump behind me and I turned around to find the man lying down with his back flat on the ground. I wasn't in a position to help him get on his feet because I feared my dad would suspect me for drinking! Hence, all that I managed to do was to give job for my 1.3 Mega pixel mobile camera. Here is the picture that shows you the Indian version of Ironman!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STA0ByXSiII/AAAAAAAAAUM/LIeMNyzFbLs/s1600-h/man.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STA0ByXSiII/AAAAAAAAAUM/LIeMNyzFbLs/s400/man.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273772368954820738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-8386230651851083133?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8386230651851083133/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=8386230651851083133' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8386230651851083133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8386230651851083133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/ironman.html' title='The Ironman..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STA0ByXSiII/AAAAAAAAAUM/LIeMNyzFbLs/s72-c/man.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-1723319077633964350</id><published>2008-11-26T21:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T04:21:38.662-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tour'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Friends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kodaikanal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='train'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kodai'/><title type='text'>The road to Kodai..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS6PXyka_wI/AAAAAAAAAT8/9QWuYjcnJ2s/s1600-h/Photo-0021.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS6PXyka_wI/AAAAAAAAAT8/9QWuYjcnJ2s/s400/Photo-0021.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273309852571729666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Finally, we went on with the Kodaikanal plan which we were trying to make feasible for a very long time. After several hurdles, we made sure our parents are quite okay with the plan and they had some fear about our safety since it would be just four of us who will be going on the tour. It was pretty hard to convince one of my friends' dad with the plan because he wanted to make sure his son had won the chance of making his step into the world of professionalism before we left leave for Kodaikanal, popularly known as the Queen of hill stations in India. We took a train from Chennai Egmore and were supposed to reach Madurai, which is the closest city to Kodai, pretty early in the morning. Fortunately, the train slowed down at a station called Kodai Road  that was midway between Madurai and Kodaikanal and in fact closer to Kodai than Madurai. It was almost 3 in the morning when we reached this place and nothing else other than a small tea shop was found nearby. We were informed by a person in the station that the first bus to Kodai would start from the place at 5A.M. We had ample time in our hands and we had a cup of tea. In the next couple of hours, we had already completed some 2 rounds of tea. We couldn't find any place illuminated at this time of the new day except for an ATM. We spent sometime at the entrance to the ATM and when saw a bus taking a halt on the roadside, we immediately confirmed its destination. It was 5.30A.M when the bus started its 4 hour long journey to Kodaikanal. As the vehicle moved up the elegant curves and took the beautiful twists and turns with scenic view, we enjoyed the chillness that settled in the atmosphere. And finally, when we reached Kodaikanal, I was excited because now I was sure it isn't a dream!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-1723319077633964350?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/1723319077633964350/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=1723319077633964350' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1723319077633964350'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1723319077633964350'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/road-to-kodai.html' title='The road to Kodai..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS6PXyka_wI/AAAAAAAAAT8/9QWuYjcnJ2s/s72-c/Photo-0021.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-2951982391096772746</id><published>2008-11-26T21:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T11:33:51.146-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pen drive'/><title type='text'>Shop at home..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The days when people go out from their places to do some shopping are history. Now, people want to be as comfortable as possible and hence, they expect shopping to be streamlined so that they can save a lot of money, time and energy. This is why Shopwiki has come up with the idea of online shopping. This is a site that is dedicated to all the sellers and buyers all over the globe and doesn't expect any returns for its services. With the site open in front of you, you can search for any product you wish to buy, no matter which part of the world the product is located at. If the seller has registered the product with Shopwiki, you can make it yours by following some simple procedures! Today, I brought my car DVD player hunt to an end when I stumbled upon a best deal over the product on Shopwiki. I met the proper person through shopwiki and sealed a deal on a &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Car+DVD+Players"&gt;car DVD player&lt;/a&gt; for an unimaginably low cost! With a successfully accomplished first mission, I jumped on to the next, which was to get a pen drive for a reasonable price for my dear wife. To my astonishment, I found a Transcend 4GB &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/search?q=pen_drive&amp;amp;sb=1"&gt;pen drive&lt;/a&gt; available for a cost lesser than what I paid for my earphones few days back when I had been to an electronics shop nearby my house! Thus, if a product is for sale, then it would be on Shopwiki for sure. With an online shopping encyclopedia just within your reach, do you wish to go out for your Christmas shopping?? ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-2951982391096772746?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/2951982391096772746/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=2951982391096772746' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/2951982391096772746'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/2951982391096772746'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/shop-at-home.html' title='Shop at home..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-4227834722829729751</id><published>2008-11-26T21:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-26T21:21:20.623-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Acai berry power 500'/><title type='text'>Do the diet..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Obesity has become a major problem in the modern society that prevails all over the world.

He is an official in the Indian Democracy. His job is to make sure people in the society stick on to the rules laid by the Government. The rules that they deal with are related to traffic and other procedures that should be followed by everyone using the roads which some say are MAINTAINED by the Government (and still they look pathetic :-P). Hence, in short , this man in Khaki and white on the bike registered to the Government can be put equivalent to a guardian. Rather, guardian of society and rules laid by the Government. I happened to go to Marina beach few days back with one of my friends. When I was driving back home, my ride was interrupted by the flashing red signal. I was almost the first one to bring my bike to a halt just before the stop line. After the signal timer flicked for few seconds, I found someone trying to get on to the front of the lot waiting for the green using the small passage on my left which was not even sufficient for a bicycle to go through. I told myself "Wow! What an aspirant!!! He wants to be the first even at a signal!!"  Finally, this man's bike stopped after completely crossing the stop line, the meaning of which he totally didn't understand. You can find the stop line in the picture and the man in the front on his bike as if he his on his way back home after winning the whole world. And you can also find that no one else in the picture had crossed the stop line. From his shoes, pant, shirt, helmet and the color of the bike, I recognized who he is. That was when I felt really bad for the people in our society. A man who is supposed to protect the rules has decided to crush the same under his feet. Several men at the same level as this brute in the picture above stand together at signal junctions just to catch hold of those who they say don't follow the traffic rules. And nowhere have I seen a rule that says these men carry an exemption from these rules and they need not follow what they say is mandatory for the public. I couldn't resist my frustration and I was completely annoyed. But, I couldn't do anything other than take a snap of this immorally molded moron. Had it been a common man crossing the rule, I bet the traffic constable at the other end of the signal would have extracted something from his wallet. What makes the difference here? It is just few things which our Government servants lack. They are supposed to be called the Government SERVANTS. But, their actions make us feel they rule the nation. This is because corruption is all powerful in this nation. It is way above people and society. When even the one who is responsible for keeping the rules intact is not prepared to stand by the book, who else can be considered for filling the most essential niche here? I've had several bad experiences with these beggars in uniform who catch at signal junctions me just to suck my pockets dry. May be this is the reason why I consider my feet  more important than these brutes with bulky bellies. Some of my friends even advised me not to put these pictures here on my blog as they fear I might push myself into grave danger. But, I can't help it. I can prove anyone I am flawless just by showing them this picture which I love to keep staring at for the whole day. And I can justify whatever I've told about these roadside vagabonds. The man in the picture is just another creature who makes his living on the roads using what he gets from the society. If you still don't know who he is, I'll tell you about him. Ahh..He is totally insignificant. He doesn't have much importance for me to really talk about. I don't think he deserves any explanation. Leave it. I wish to continue this hunt for these senseless scavengers in Chennai. ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-8200059064415215499?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8200059064415215499/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=8200059064415215499' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8200059064415215499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8200059064415215499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/rules-derailed.html' title='Rules derailed..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS49vkYZ9PI/AAAAAAAAAT0/zachSWkXUho/s72-c/h-0026.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-8751302924340867880</id><published>2008-11-25T20:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-30T12:50:33.137-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='financial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='problem'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exchane'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outsourcing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crisis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='economic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='finance'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='global crisis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='foreign'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='economy'/><title type='text'>India at bigger crisis..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The whole world is being squeezed by the imp called inflation and world nations are suffering great pains to rebuild their economies and start from the scrap to make the people feel their investments and savings are secure. Some of the countries have also taken strict measures to make sure their citizens don't suffer due to unemployment by restricting foreign citizens from getting into the companies and other firms in their countries. When it comes to a nation, there is nothing wrong in being selfish and planning for the people and nation's progress in the future. And that is exactly what the world nations have started to do. Many IT firms based in India are almost completely dependent on U.S and European markets for their projects. Now, with U.S.A being badly affected by financial crunch, the Americans prefer saying NO to outsourcing, which means the danger light has been switched on for the Indian firms. Indian companies are so shrewd they knew they would be required to face a situation as bad as the one they are experiencing now beforehand and tried their best to transfer their sources to other parts of the world. Unfortunately, this effort was not completely successful and as a result, in spite of all their hard work, our firms had to face some losses in terms of foreign income and share values. This has been reflected by the firms' stands on recruitment processes, for which a temporary halt has been put. Thus, there is a blockade for foreign income to get into India now. To add to this crisis which is quite common in all the countries at present, the terror attacks on the three of the best luxury hotels in Mumbai has resulted in many foreigners hesitating to even turn back to India again in the future since the targets were these foreigners and more specifically, Israelis, Britons and Americans. Life is more important than tourism. So, we can expect a strong depreciation in the quantity of foreign inflow due to terror attacks and the already existing economic crisis, which means India would be the most affected nation during this crucial period. Let us hope the recovery techniques are considered quickly and handled deftly by our new Finance Minister, who is also our Prime Minister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-8751302924340867880?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8751302924340867880/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=8751302924340867880' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8751302924340867880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8751302924340867880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/india-at-bigger-crisis.html' title='India at bigger crisis..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-861919509867108822</id><published>2008-11-25T12:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-30T12:52:02.339-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Beauty of Science</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STJxBP4DZgI/AAAAAAAAAVc/K2m2mMBmezU/s1600-h/dna-double-helix-347.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 319px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STJxBP4DZgI/AAAAAAAAAVc/K2m2mMBmezU/s320/dna-double-helix-347.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274402379859715586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CPals%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:punctuationkerning/&gt;   &lt;w:validateagainstschemas/&gt;   &lt;w:saveifxmlinvalid&gt;false&lt;/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt;   &lt;w:ignoremixedcontent&gt;false&lt;/w:IgnoreMixedContent&gt;   &lt;w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext&gt;false&lt;/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt;   &lt;w:compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;w:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;w:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;w:useasianbreakrules/&gt;    &lt;w:dontgrowautofit/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;w:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"&gt;  &lt;/w:LatentStyles&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 10]&gt; &lt;style&gt;  /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; 	mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 	mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; 	mso-style-noshow:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; 	mso-para-margin:0in; 	mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:10.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-ansi-language:#0400; 	mso-fareast-language:#0400; 	mso-bidi-language:#0400;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;  The developments in science are so rapid and advanced these days that one would think that young students would not be capable of coping with such radical advances. But it's proved otherwise! The students are equipped with models which explain how heart transplants and open heat surgeries are performed.  They have information on MRI scans and Lasers and even the latest news in the avenue of cloning. Thanks to the modern day scientists! Scientists, through their extensive research, have found about rare and dreaded diseases, their causative agents and the various cures which are being developed. Genetic engineering demonstrates the importance of genetics and many self-explanatory models of their progress have been made by the scientists in this field, for the benefit of common people.   &lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"&gt;&lt;link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CPals%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:punctuationkerning/&gt;   &lt;w:validateagainstschemas/&gt;   &lt;w:saveifxmlinvalid&gt;false&lt;/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt;   &lt;w:ignoremixedcontent&gt;false&lt;/w:IgnoreMixedContent&gt;   &lt;w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext&gt;false&lt;/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt;   &lt;w:compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;w:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;w:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;w:useasianbreakrules/&gt;    &lt;w:dontgrowautofit/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;w:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"&gt;  &lt;/w:LatentStyles&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 10]&gt; &lt;style&gt;  /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; 	mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 	mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; 	mso-style-noshow:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; 	mso-para-margin:0in; 	mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:10.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-ansi-language:#0400; 	mso-fareast-language:#0400; 	mso-bidi-language:#0400;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;Can man play god now?

Sorry to deflate the hoopla, folks - we are still a long way from playing Dr. Frankenstein, leave alone god! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;We are astonished by the volumes of research that these people had done. They had demonstrated one of the important findings of the human genome project. All human beings share an incredible 99.99% of all genetic material! Cloning&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;has become one of the biggest wonders of recent time. The limitless possibilities of this technique have already raised considerable interest among all the scientists. Cloning has resulted in producing life forms that are free from genetic disorders and other birth defects. Still more research is going on, to deeply analyze the structure of human genome to further understand the mystery behind the origin of life, thereby further contributing towards the development of mankind. Our environmentalists are showing genuine concern about the way the planet’s resources are being plundered and the urgent need to save our planet earth. The development of science has achieved the most important objective - the renewal of man's most precious possession, essential for leading a happy, normal, stress-free life is indeed good health.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-861919509867108822?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/861919509867108822/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=861919509867108822' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/861919509867108822'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/861919509867108822'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/beauty-of-science.html' title='Beauty of Science'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STJxBP4DZgI/AAAAAAAAAVc/K2m2mMBmezU/s72-c/dna-double-helix-347.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-8855016632086904329</id><published>2008-11-25T08:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-28T12:24:35.904-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oberoi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='military'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blasts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mumbai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ATS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='commandos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='extremists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hotel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Taj'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='police'/><title type='text'>Terrorism unplugged..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STBTBr0Yx1I/AAAAAAAAAUU/bYWHUvQkSXU/s1600-h/man.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 388px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STBTBr0Yx1I/AAAAAAAAAUU/bYWHUvQkSXU/s400/man.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273806452058277714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While terrorism is busy expanding its wings over large grounds in the country, Indian Government seems to be a sitting duck incapable of countering militant activities in the nation. With the fateful incidents that have been happening in Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, for the past three days, the terrorists have found a new way to get their hands on various parts of the country. The militants from the so called Democratic neighboring nation called Pakistan, who infiltrated India through the seaways, claiming themselves to be local Indian fishermen, successfully made fools out of the coast guard patrols and other security forces along the Western coastline and proved the world they are sons of cowardice. If there is someone who should accept complete responsibility for what has happened in the past 50 odd hours, it should be Indian Home ministry, which didn't attach much importance to the infiltration news tipped off by the Indian Intelligence. When the Honorable Home minister, Mr. Shivraj Patel was asked about the message the Government received from the Intelligence bureau, his reply was they are to decode the mail sent by the militants. This statement misled me and I thought the militants had sent a coded message regarding the attacks in advance. Later, I came to know the letter which Home ministry said it was trying to decode was in pure English. I don't understand. What were they trying to do? Decode English? Funny. And now comes the role for the head of the country. He appeared in front of the TV channels and once again, delivered the same old "India can never stand terrorism and it will draft laws to take stringent counter actions to stop terrorism" message. When I started my under graduation, I heard the PM give out the same statement and now, I've finished B.E and still they are planning for a strict law to curb terrorism. At the end of the day, while the Government was busy moving its head for the so called strict law, terrorists accomplished their mission in Mumbai. With a death toll crossing 120, it has become a black page in the book of Indian history. Now, I feel even the Kargil war would been a comparatively easy go for the Indian army because Government was not there in the battle field to control the actions of the army men. Hundreds of commando forces and military men stormed into the hotels that went into the pockets of extremists for the last couple of days. During the course, three of the most esteemed professionals belong to police department lost their lives. Later, when the Government realized the situation has broken the boundaries, it called for military and commandos to bring back things to normal. While these men were busy fighting the terrorists within the hotels amidst gun shots and broken properties, our politicians were busy releasing irrelevant and senseless reports. They even misguided the people by giving them false assurance, which is that India is always a safe heaven. Unless Government comes out of its shell to show real care towards the country's development and safety, leaving behind all its efforts to appease muslims by being lenient towards the Islamic terrorist who has been captured by the policemen, India can never be considered a safe heaven. As long as this pathetic attitutude prevails in the nation in the form of Government, India would remain the most vicious hell for years to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-8855016632086904329?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8855016632086904329/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=8855016632086904329' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8855016632086904329'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8855016632086904329'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/terrorism-unplugged.html' title='Terrorism unplugged..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/STBTBr0Yx1I/AAAAAAAAAUU/bYWHUvQkSXU/s72-c/man.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-5863385097883532961</id><published>2008-11-22T01:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-26T03:03:59.639-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tank'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='modern'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='temples'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='auspicious'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='popularity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='deity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spirituality'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='famous'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cultuaral center'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mylapore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beauty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heritage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='history'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='view'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hub'/><title type='text'>The Mylapore life..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS0lj-A2_3I/AAAAAAAAATM/7idayLBo9QU/s1600-h/DSCN1821.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS0lj-A2_3I/AAAAAAAAATM/7idayLBo9QU/s320/DSCN1821.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272912038592970610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Night life in Mylapore has always been exciting. When the darkness descends upon this part of The Great Chennai, the activities people carry out gradually increases. The part of the day becomes quite hectic for the sellers and road-side vendors who deal with products like flowers, fruits and vegetables. While these people make themselves busy hawking for their customers, the people who approach these low profile pushers would have something running on their minds. Since it is almost the twilight part of the day, most people would be heading back home after a busy day and this is when the Mylaporeans start releasing the pressure that has been building up within them for the whole day. Hence, the atmosphere will carry a pleasant vibe because everyone knows they would soon be experiencing a sense of real rest at their places very soon. Reaching home after a busy day to meet the loved ones always gives great pleasure to professionals who hardly find time to spend with their family members. This fact adds more essence to the twilight at Mylapore. I am pretty much for all the happenings in Mylapore. This is one of the most auspicious places in Chennai and at the stroke of 6 P.M, the temples with which the whole locality is filled with will start playing divine music and recorded mantras characteristic of the deity being celebrated there. In some temples, the head priests start praising the deity using vocals framed by saints who lived several thousands of years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I always loved to walk down the streets of Mylapore closer to the tank, which is one of the largest of its kind. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS0mJeI_VWI/AAAAAAAAATU/qhyXFOlU05A/s1600-h/DSCN1819.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS0mJeI_VWI/AAAAAAAAATU/qhyXFOlU05A/s320/DSCN1819.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272912682872165730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Optical disturbances in the vicinity of the tank are very much low and that is the specialty of Mylapore tank which is otherwise known as Kapali tank. The only light that the waters of the tank reflect would be the rays that are incident on the water surface directly coming from the serial lamps and other decorative lights that adorn the majestic Kapaleeswarar Temple. I love to stand by the tank and watch the fishes that frequently turn visible under the lights that come from the temple's tall tower. A common scene would be some people feeding fishes with jaggery and sometimes even biscuits!&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS0n3GX4YnI/AAAAAAAAATk/Jpmly74izEM/s1600-h/DSCN1818.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS0n3GX4YnI/AAAAAAAAATk/Jpmly74izEM/s320/DSCN1818.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272914566277784178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS0n3GX4YnI/AAAAAAAAATk/Jpmly74izEM/s1600-h/DSCN1818.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;When you keep walking for a couple of minutes, you would reach the end of one side of the tank. When you take a right turn to follow the second adjacent edge of the tank, you would find a colorful street filled with people and shops that are dedicated to jewelry and apparels. This part of Mylapore is really the happening region of the city because it will always be found carrying  a festival ambiance on every single day of the year. The third edge of the tank is quite narrow and houses the spiritual entry to the temple. This is the place from where the tank gets the light that it reflects without any flaws. The fourth edge is quite distinctive in its own way and is the most commercial one among the four. The grocery shops, vegetable vendors, supermarkets and other commercial places would be spotted here. Thus, if you have been thinking Mylapore is nothing more than a small area that is known for the temples and religious centers, you should consider updating your information about the place. It is a small world by itself and has everything a man requires in life, starting from spirituality to entertainment passing through culture, heritage and history!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-5863385097883532961?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/5863385097883532961/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=5863385097883532961' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5863385097883532961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5863385097883532961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/mylapore-life.html' title='The Mylapore life..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SS0lj-A2_3I/AAAAAAAAATM/7idayLBo9QU/s72-c/DSCN1821.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-5708672336017766833</id><published>2008-11-21T00:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-21T08:54:38.615-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vagabonds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rules'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='road'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bikers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='traffic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beggars'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drivers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='police'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='belly boys'/><title type='text'>Roaring road accidents..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Road accidents are happening at an exponential rate now a days and your vehicle bumping into one of them will be the most unfortunate thing ever. It’s always better to get prepared before hand and auto body shops city of industry makes that easy for you. Collision Repair expert comprises a big chain of auto body workshops that effectively bridge their customers with the best auto repair shops in the town. They have incorporated strict quality measures within their network to ensure that they provide the best to their customers. They personally call back every customer and evaluate their experience, based on which a rating is given to every auto body work shop that is publicly posted in their website. You can also fix appointment online and be assured that your vehicle is in the best hands in town. With Chennai fast developing a sophistaceted and modernizied metropolitan city everyday, accidents have become very common on the roads that people don't even care to help the ones who got their heads into these unfortunate twist provided by their fate. I would like to see the Traffic department coming up with innovative, useful and really sensible road rules to overcome these accidents that often prove fatal for some people. Instead of forcing the bikers to wear helmets, the Government can give bringing in the vehicle lanes on the roads some thought. You would find such lanes only on roads with heavy traffic. But, that makes me wonder why there are no such lane discipline rules available for Grand South Trunk road that connects the city to other southern parts of Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu Police department should realize their purpose which is to ensure safety of society and public and they should also understand their hands can be put to good use other than saluting higher officials and blocking drivers for not following the rules which seem to have been designed only for the benifit of these vagabonds in khakis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-5708672336017766833?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/5708672336017766833/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=5708672336017766833' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5708672336017766833'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5708672336017766833'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/roaring-road-accidents.html' title='Roaring road accidents..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-8152980059514703562</id><published>2008-11-19T23:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-21T23:13:24.934-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='australia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cricket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aussie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cricketer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='test'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='match'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='men in blue'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='game'/><title type='text'>Pointless Punter's tamed team..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SSexBaD7fJI/AAAAAAAAAS8/ojqqbDdcGB0/s1600-h/Ricky-Ponting003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 245px; height: 275px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SSexBaD7fJI/AAAAAAAAAS8/ojqqbDdcGB0/s320/Ricky-Ponting003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271376526594243730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's quite usual to find Ponting, who Australians call a cricketer, come up with strange issues totally irrelevant to what he is involved in at that point of time. When the first test between India and Australia ended in a draw, Ponting started throwing ridiculous comments at the Indian cricket. When India won the second test in a great style making way for the second biggest victory in terms of the difference of runs, Ponting's nerves felt the chill and he was desperate to antagonize the Indians through his comments during press conferences. The first allegation proved that Australians are no more with their minds on the ongoing series but have started concentrating on proving the world not that they are the best but India is not the best. Now, it was time to make a big move and Australians knew they could do nothing about the game since the series was almost out of their reach. This time, they had no reasons to point to India since the Indians were flatly flawless in the game and the backstage comments during press conferences as well. Indian press conference saw replies from the Indian captain staying at the peak of optimism for the next game while the Australian captain left his mind wander along the past where Indians and Australians almost had brutal statements for each other. While Indians changed their mentality to quit making childish allegations against their opponents, Australians were never in a position to grow up and learn the word 'MATURITY'. Finally, the grand knockout blow from India came in the last test, which most thought would go the Australian way. The game was carried on till the last day and at last, Aussies' tombstone was erected right in front of a large crowd and what came with it was the downfall of Australian attitude and negative aggression. Now, Indians have prove to the world cricket is really a gentleman's game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-8152980059514703562?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8152980059514703562/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=8152980059514703562' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8152980059514703562'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8152980059514703562'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/pointless-punters-tamed-team.html' title='Pointless Punter&apos;s tamed team..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SSexBaD7fJI/AAAAAAAAAS8/ojqqbDdcGB0/s72-c/Ricky-Ponting003.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-4089447136447539759</id><published>2008-11-18T12:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-19T12:04:44.862-08:00</updated><title type='text'>M-Theory offers solution</title><content type='html'>M-theory is one of the latest theories in the scientific field that has offered to solve the mystery behind the origin of the universe.

I love kittens and especially the ones that were with me till yesterday. Putting a denial in front of you against the fact that my parents and I faced a lot of problems because of these kittens will be totally unfair. I do accept that we were on a S**T job till yesterday. But, they are 3 month old kittens. It's hard and unacceptable to expect discipline and good behavior from them. Their actions can be justified when we consider the moments when we totally forgot what discipline really means. I can prove anyone who says the kittens are bad wrong because they are not really bad. They are kittens. They are innocent except for when they run behind their preys. That is their way of life. That is how they are calibrated by God to live. The mother gave birth to 4 cute and adorable kittens 3 months ago. About 50 days back, the eldest kitten, which I call that way keeping in mind its size and weight, passed away after suffering almost for a week from some bacterial infection. I dug him a graveyard in my backyard and gave him a muddy send off party. I still remember his eyes. They looked innocent and tired. After making sure that wouldn't happen again to any of the remaining kittens, I was determined to grow them till they became independent. They grew up. They were with me till yesterday. I knew it was time to get them over to a safe place so that all the discomforts my parents felt with 3 kittens at home would be thrown away. I even decided a safe place for these kittens near my friend's place. I chose that place because it was dark, safe and closer to my friend's place, which I visited habitually. I wanted to make sure I see them grow though they couldn't be kept at my place anymore. When I came home to get these kittens readied for a journey they have never been on in their lives, I found two of the kittens missing already. I understood what could have happened in my absence. My parents took the kittens to a not so posh area near my place and set them free. They say they set them FREE. They never knew they have toppled the lives of two small creatures. The third one was so lucky that my parents couldn't get their hands on it since it is a hyper-active kitten and is the eldest now. Now, all that I am left with in my place is a kitten who is still searching for his sister and brother. I hope the other two lives as long as the cat with the longest life on Earth lived. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-2943976785449470935?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/2943976785449470935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=2943976785449470935' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/2943976785449470935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/2943976785449470935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/time-to-say-good-bye.html' title='Time to say good bye..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SR0h8A45ycI/AAAAAAAAAS0/3miJlIC_Nc8/s72-c/tfuuo+%282%29.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-2969635053006891664</id><published>2008-11-13T15:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T19:30:26.076-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='students'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='incidents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='law'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rowdies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hooligans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inefficient'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='incapable'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='police'/><title type='text'>The playboy police..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SRzwuF_Ev3I/AAAAAAAAASs/ynOEckhPXqU/s1600-h/14797143_lawcollege.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 264px; height: 235px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SRzwuF_Ev3I/AAAAAAAAASs/ynOEckhPXqU/s320/14797143_lawcollege.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268350338788015986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Yesterday, Tamil Nadu witnessed the incapable and inefficient act of Tamil Nadu Police department. Honestly, the cops never acted appropriate to the situation and they stood watching the incidents which shouldn't have been allowed to be staged within a college where Law lives. Dr.Ambedkar's Law college is one of those average law colleges available in the state where reservation plays a bigger role than law. Hence, reservation gave way for hooligans to enter the college in the name of students. I don't know what the issues were all about. But, I could see few arrogant and uncontrollable brutes attacking fellow students using highly dangerous weapons. A student was viciously attacked by the group of people whose appearances were not even a step closer to students. The student tried hard to protect himself from these ruthless criminals who seemed too brave when several around them are there to support them. They think world would place them as high as Napoleon Bonaparte and Alexander. But, they never realized the fact that they are actually cowards who tried to attack weaker people in groups. When these cowards were busy with the brutality, the policemen watched the happenings without a motion. I was watching these incidents on the TV and these policemen were watching it it live. Then how can you call me different from these pathetic creatures in khakis? Give me a good reason to differentiate me from these policemen. I don't understand what the Police department is trying to do. They catch hold of people who don't follow traffic rules but they let go those who produce extremely violent actions in front of them. Our policemen need a little tweak-up and they should be taught what they are supposed to do when they are in khakis. I guess movies like 'Khaaka Khaaka' and 'Vetayadu Vilayadu' carried these policemen away and they are now too far from their actual jobs. I really doubt who these people are who called themselves students. Are they followers of a political party and is it that why the policemen didn't take any actions to curb the unfortunate incidents that took place in front of them?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-2969635053006891664?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/2969635053006891664/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=2969635053006891664' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/2969635053006891664'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/2969635053006891664'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/playboy-police.html' title='The playboy police..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SRzwuF_Ev3I/AAAAAAAAASs/ynOEckhPXqU/s72-c/14797143_lawcollege.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7445067997270234524</id><published>2008-11-10T18:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-10T18:11:49.750-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Coming back fast..Blogger friends, please read this..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hi friends. Thank you all for visiting my blog regularly. I am so sorry that I couldn't reciprocate your gracious visits because an accident kept me away from using my PC. I met with an accident few days back and I carry a fractured right arm. Since I felt I shouldn't desert this blog which I love more than my life, I am using my nephew to type it for me. I don't find the life in this post because I never wanted anyone to do the posts for me. I will be satisfied only when the post solely belongs to me and I do the publishing. That doesn't mean I don't wish others to go through this post. I want all of you out there who took  care of my blog while I wasn't here to go go through this post. And I am so sorry that I couldn't visit you for a long. I'll be coming back soon very fast. Take care guys and girls.

It might be considered as the largest Democracy in the world. It may seem to be right on the road to development in various fields. Other nations may feel Indians in India are lucky to have born in such a wonderful nation. If you are one of those who think this way of India, I wish to slap you right on your face and ask you "Is this really a secular Democratic country?". If you need an answer to that question, let me explain few things to you about the real India. You might also be aware of the fact that India occupies 14&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; place in the list of Nations suffering from poverty. Do you know what is the reason? It's a simple one word answer. Politicians. Just for the sake of petty votes from the minority community, which is found in majority in the country, these politicians introduced what is known as reservation for minorities. As a result, most of those highly qualified and talented students belonging to forward class are suppressed to stay low in numbers when it comes to admission in Government institutions. This has led to the educational institutions being filled up by people most of who don't even deserve an entrance to such institutions. A student belonging to scheduled caste/tribe or Backward class, who scored 50% in the 12&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; grade examinations can easily get an admit in the professional bodies and educational institutions because the boundary mark for these people are less than what they manage to score most of the times. On the other hand, those highly efficient and capable students belonging to forward class are denied admissions even if they have secured more than 80%. Here, the politicians have dug a grave for the nation and they go around calling themselves the saviors of the country's face. In a country where talent is put behind votes, the scope for development is not at the ground level. It is somewhere in the negatives. If you call India a Democratic nation and if you say everyone is equal in front of law, then where is the equality in the nation where reservation has been spoiling the lives of millions of able people belonging to forward class from day one of Independence? If equality is what India is known for, then why a student belonging to the forward caste has not been given reservation while those belonging to the so called suppressed classes of the society enjoy reservations at the cost of lives of the really good ones? Reservation is just a piece of bone politicians are using to make the people belonging to what are called oppressed classes to earn their votes. India is nothing more than this. Now answer my question. Where is the bloody equality in the Nation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-4792169217046102104?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4792169217046102104/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=4792169217046102104' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4792169217046102104'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4792169217046102104'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/where-is-bloody-equality.html' title='Where is the bloody equality?'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-2550267623123777333</id><published>2008-11-05T17:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-05T17:46:28.708-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cable TV bundles'/><title type='text'>Cable TV services</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://tinyurl.com/64ddt2" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today, there are three main means of communication. The first one is through media, which has become a very powerful communication tool. Media has proved that news can travel faster than light! The second is through internet. The internet revolution has already begun long back and now, wonders are being built over the net. If there is something in the universe, that has got to be on the internet. Thus, internet has compressed the size of the massive Universe in a 15" or a 17" computer monitor. The third and the live means of communication is over the telephone, which allows any individual to spread any news even he/she finds factual. Thus, without these three main modes of communication, world would have been a darker place than what it is now! To add more brightness to the world of communication, &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/5jns9f"&gt;Cable TV bundles&lt;/a&gt;, a cable and internet service provider, has dedicated its work in the field of communication technology to the people to serve them better than ever before. &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/5jns9f"&gt;Cable TV bundles&lt;/a&gt; is one of the cable and internet services provided by Bridgevine, which attempts to take news to every home in the country. The fact to be noticed here is that Bridgevine offers so many packages to choose from so that you can get what you feel is good and affordable for you. Thus, the attempt to bring you home the world through cables for internet, telephone and cable TV services has taken a big leap. Get the most of it now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://tinyurl.com/6zv78t" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-2550267623123777333?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/2550267623123777333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=2550267623123777333' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/2550267623123777333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/2550267623123777333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/cable-tv-services.html' title='Cable TV services'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-5113447197707577435</id><published>2008-11-05T11:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-05T18:19:03.551-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='president'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='elections'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='corruption'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politicians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='useless'/><title type='text'>India-No scope of development..</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 10"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 10"&gt;&lt;link style="font-family: georgia;" rel="File-List" href="file:///F:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTHEGRE%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;o:smarttagtype style="font-family: georgia;" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"&gt;&lt;/o:smarttagtype&gt;&lt;o:smarttagtype style="font-family: georgia;" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"&gt;&lt;/o:smarttagtype&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;w:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;w:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;w:useasianbreakrules/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;w:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if !mso]&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;style&gt; st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 10]&gt; &lt;style&gt;  /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; 	mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 	mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; 	mso-style-noshow:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; 	mso-para-margin:0in; 	mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:10.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman";} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-family: georgia;"&gt;Yesterday, after winning the race to The White House, Mr.Obama in front of a huge crowd in his hometown. I couldn't not believe the jubilation and the excitement that was found in the air. People were cheering their new leader and there was a complete cooperation among every single person in the crowd which added the respect to &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; in me. I can see it only as a country filled with more Gentleman than any other country. Something that appeared very satisfying was the appearance of the Republican candidate, Mr. McCain, in front of a huge crowd, which supported him for the past 14 months. He congratulated his opponent for winning the election and making it into the White House. I just wanted to realize the contrasts between the real politicians in &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and these hooligans in &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;India&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; who call themselves politicians and leaders of political parties that are against the views of a particular section of a people when it comes to a bridge or a belief. So, i switched over to another Indian channel that covers everything that happens in the Indian political arena. Immediately, I fond a politician accusing his opposition and talking everything futile about the other party. That was when I felt bad for the people of &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;India&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. They are the followers of Gandhi and they feel non-violence is the solution for any known problem. But, these political pigs are making fools out of these peaceful followers and they do all harm to the people of the nation and still get away with everything and win the elections once again next time. I was wondering why &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;India&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; didn't go for a Presidential democracy as most of the developed countries have done today and opted for a Parliamentarian democracy. The answer is quite simple. When the Government comes under the scrutiny of one man called the President, everything works well and the machine runs smooth with the least possibility of corruption creeping into the system. Our politicians don't want that. They wanted a Parliamentarian Democracy so that each and every bloody corrupted politician can get their share of people's money in all the possible crooked ways and no one would blame them because no politician is good here to point out the mistakes of another politician. This is the fate of this nation which was once considered a 'Punya Bhoomi'. It is no more a land of prosperity. It has become the birth place for corruption and tainted politicians, who care the least for the people. With the politicians being so cunning and people being so harmless, the country is expected to become a super power by 2020. For all those who believe &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;India&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is right on the track of development, this is all I've got to tell you:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;பேராசை&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;பெருநஷ்டம்&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-5113447197707577435?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/5113447197707577435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=5113447197707577435' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5113447197707577435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5113447197707577435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/india-no-scope-of-development.html' title='India-No scope of development..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-4390609880469592819</id><published>2008-11-04T23:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-06T00:43:28.592-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='curse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='corruption'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shit heads'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politicians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='doom'/><title type='text'>Difference between India and America..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Finally, the Great nation of the U.S.A faced the elections for choosing the next individual, who will be taking America along the path of development, as all the U.S Presidents have been doing in the past. This time, time has added a new ingredient to the result by making Mr.Barack Hussein Obama the President candidate from the Democratic party. The twist in the tale comes with the fact that Mr.Obama is the 2nd Black President to guide the Great lands of America. American system of elections is totally different from that of India's slow election processes. It took not more than a day for the Americans to count the number of votes each Presidential candidate has anaged to bag. I was wondering how long Indian systems would do that. The counting in India starts one week after the elections are over. Let me not talk about the reservation thing in choosing those accepting the job of counting the votes. This curse is found everywhere in this nation. Obama's victory speech was the best I've ever heard. All that we know about our Indian politicians is they talk rubbish after winning or losing in the elections. They will play the blame game if they lose and they will make fun of the opposition parties if they win. But, American politicians proved that Indian politicians are no better than clowns and jesters who do nothing innovative and don't command respect. When was the last time an Indian politician conceeded defeat and congratulated the one who won? Indian politicians and political lovers are all about dirty politics and senseless issues that would do no good to the nation. Thus, the main difference between India and America in terms of Politics is that it is considered as an art in the Western world whereas it is a business here in India undertaken by the Politicians. The change has come to America. But, this chances of the same change coming to India is rather beyond impossible with such a group of ineffective, uneducated, scientifically ignorant and stupid shitheads called politicians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-4390609880469592819?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4390609880469592819/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=4390609880469592819' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4390609880469592819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4390609880469592819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/obama-outruns-oppositions.html' title='Difference between India and America..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-4332933854009487485</id><published>2008-11-04T10:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-04T12:31:17.736-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IELTS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='voice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='phone call'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='funny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='questions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='conversation'/><title type='text'>Hellooooo...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today, I came across an incident which I found to be extremely funny. It was about the phone conversation my one of my friends had few days back. The fact is that it wasn't a conversation because I understand something can be called a conversation only if it involves two or more persons exchanging words in the form of questions and replies. Here, my friend was the only one who was involved in the 'CONVERSATION'. (I don't know what I should call this other than a one-end conversation. :-P) It seems my friend wanted to learn German since he would be leaving for Germany very soon. He decided to ask a consultancy for some help regarding the matter and tried contacting them over the phone. As soon as he finished dialing, he heard a female voice shooting some instructions at him. My friend is such a keen listener that he couldn't make a noise at his end and was listening to whatever the female voice prompted. Finally, the silence was broken! My friend opened up with a question which was "Hello, I would like to know about the German learning course". There was no response from the female on the other end. Confused, my friend wanted to make sure she heard whatever he said. He asked "Hello, is there anyone on that side? Can you tell me about the German Learning Course?" Again, there was a prolonged silence. Finally, my friend heard a beep followed by the female's message which was "Please enter an input. Press 1 for technical assistance, 2 for course details....(so on)". That was when my friend realized he had been trying to pull a computer generated voice into a conversation with him. :-P  I almost laughed my stomach out watching this guy explaining the scenario with the exact body languages and voice modulations he carried while talking to the automatic voice message. Sometimes, we don't know how funny we are. When we fail to sense such funny incidents in which we are involved, we are missing out on some of the best moments of life. It won't be a shame to get fooled all the time. When you can draw a line between shameful and funny incidents, you can call yourself a best judge of all your actions. If you consider even the funny incidents shameful, there are few things you need to learn from the book of life. Never miss a chance to laugh at your own self. Understand the difference between being shameful and funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-4332933854009487485?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4332933854009487485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=4332933854009487485' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4332933854009487485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4332933854009487485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/hellooooo.html' title='Hellooooo...'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-8650473799339018116</id><published>2008-11-03T08:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-04T11:43:47.719-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rules'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='policemen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='idiots'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='congestion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='irregular'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='traffic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drivers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chennai'/><title type='text'>Road behaviors become rude behaviors..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SRCkzO06n7I/AAAAAAAAASU/j1fcH_tzUCo/s1600-h/ret+%282%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 382px; height: 306px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SRCkzO06n7I/AAAAAAAAASU/j1fcH_tzUCo/s320/ret+%282%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264889164456435634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Driving has become a tough job for those who regularly take on the roads of Chennai. With more than 65 million vehicles, the roads in Chennai have become completely cramped and even motorcyclists can't make a way out of the congestion. Traffic police department of Chennai is struggling a lot to bring the increasing traffic under control and their desperation is blatantly reflected by their action of making two-way roads into one-ways. But, the purpose is not served yet. This attempt of the police department has in fact become another reason for the city's traffic to grow bigger. While that is the part of the policemen in adding &lt;/span&gt;inconvenience to the society, some people also have bigger roles in building up the annoying congestion, especially when working people are hurrying up to their workplaces in the morning. It was 9.30 A.M and went to an ATM to check my balance in the savings account. After my job was done, I came out and found the far end of the street getting too congested, as you can see in the picture above. It wasn't a one-way and thus, vehicles giving ways for those on the other side of the road isn't a big problem though the road appeared quite narrow. But, that wasn't the cause for the congestion. It was a 2-way and the maroon car was being driven by a moron, who lacked even the basic common sense and parked the car right at the middle of a narrow 2-way road. I had all the time in the world to wait there to watch the other vehicles honking their horns like never before. My mobile phone wasn't too busy and I used it to make a permanent record of the scene that was going on in front of my eyes. As soon as I completed the photo session, the driver came out and pulled the car to the roadside. Just take a look at the maroon car to the righ in the picture. The driver had almost occupied half the width of the already narrow road to park the car. Doesn't it appear like a 3-lane road with a red car trying to break the congestion and enter the street while the moron's maroon car stand right at the middle of the road and the black car was parked at the place where it was supposed to be parked? If an insensitive idiot could cause such a congestion even in a street that is comparatively smaller than the other busy roads in Chennai, I couldn't imagine the impact of such irresponsible brutes who proclaim to be drivers, on the busier streets of the city which is building fast upon its traffic everyday. If these people can understand the basic driving rules and the sense of making the roads traffic-free by following proper lane disciplines, a major part of the traffic in Chennai can be avoided. I don't wish to take the policemen to the task all the time. I want to point to the part of mistake that lies on the side of the public. Either the policemen should be efficient and strictly follow the rules of the department or the people should understand the basic needs to avoid congestion. Situations on the roads of Chennai with people steaming under the hot sun for hours together due to heavy traffic would be the result if the policemen are totally inefficient and incapable and the people are hesitant to stay closer to the rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-8650473799339018116?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8650473799339018116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=8650473799339018116' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8650473799339018116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8650473799339018116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/road-behavior-becomes-rude-behaviors.html' title='Road behaviors become rude behaviors..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SRCkzO06n7I/AAAAAAAAASU/j1fcH_tzUCo/s72-c/ret+%282%29.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-3324581925200723260</id><published>2008-10-30T15:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-30T15:56:08.388-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='watson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spank'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='century'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='duel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kangaroos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gambhir'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tigers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='funny'/><title type='text'>Spanking the kangaroos..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQo7TYnBQtI/AAAAAAAAAOs/gfmchsH6pr4/s1600-h/gambhir.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 403px; height: 246px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQo7TYnBQtI/AAAAAAAAAOs/gfmchsH6pr4/s320/gambhir.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263084318745510610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The undeniable fact is that Australian cricket lost its face in front of billions around the world. Indians have proved knockouts are not only the Kangaroos' trait but even Tigers can punch the hell out of the Australian cricketing spirit. Today, Australian bowlers were treated the way I treat my 10 year old nephew while we play cricket, by the Indian batsmen. Laxman and Gambhir own the credits since they paved the two parallel rails for the Indian train to run over the kangaroos. Gambhir was so confident which was reflected blatantly by the way he came down for almost all the deliveries Johnson bowled. Also, Watson wasn't really having the mindset to accept the fact that India is a better cricketing team than Australia and he vented his frustrations by raising his right arm in front of Gambhir's face while the latter was on his way to the other end for a run. This was where everything started and thus, Watson stand at the front unlike what the whole of Australian team alleges. While Gambhir was running back to the striker's end for converting the single into a double, he retaliated by hitting Watson on his bulky belly which gave the Eastern Pussies a reason to admonish the Indian side once again. Australians think the rule books are made only for the reference of other cricketing teams and not for them at all. They think they make the rules and hence they have all the legitimate rights to break what they suppose they make. This gray attitude of the team has led to the great downfall of the Australian cricket and cricket in Australia is deep down an awful depression. I often stress on the point that cricket is no more a Gentleman's game. I still hold on to this fact and once again, I'll put the existence of the game in Australia at the top of the list of reasons why it shouldn't be called that way anymore. After all, we can't expect good manners from the cricketers belonging to the land of hooligans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-3324581925200723260?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/3324581925200723260/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=3324581925200723260' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3324581925200723260'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3324581925200723260'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/spanking-kangaroos.html' title='Spanking the kangaroos..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQo7TYnBQtI/AAAAAAAAAOs/gfmchsH6pr4/s72-c/gambhir.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-1042904230819447784</id><published>2008-10-29T13:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T16:00:24.327-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ishant'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='australia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='play'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cricket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sledging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ponting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aussie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tigers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bhajji'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='game'/><title type='text'>Slaughtering the kangaroos..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQjq9Pt5kzI/AAAAAAAAAOk/ypzsLNhRx_g/s1600-h/ponting.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 225px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQjq9Pt5kzI/AAAAAAAAAOk/ypzsLNhRx_g/s320/ponting.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262714502494393138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;"&gt;While the Australian batsmen are struggling hard to keep their ten pins intact, Indian batsmen are finding it really easy to give the Australians all the harsh treatments, which they missed to experience for all their arrogance behind their backs, they deserve for their negative attitude towards the game which was once called the Gentleman's game. It is no more a gentleman's play because Australians have stepped into the ring. Now, everyone will be wondering how Ponting managed to reach the magic triple figure in the first innings of the first test match because he was nowhere closer to a score that can be considered to be decent after that innings. Every time he stepped in, either Bhajji or Ishant made sure he walked out to the pavilion with his head down, similar to the way a graphical duck walks with a bat in its hand whenever a batsman throws away his wicket without adding anything good to the scorecard while playing against Australia in Australia. It's quite tough to ignore the delivery that Ishant bowled to Ponting which left the latter wondering what was that Ishant just threw at him, while producing a list of deliveries of the century. Ponting should understand only pitches are important when it comes to cricket. He should also realize silly body languages, funny taunts, senseless criticism, violent sledging and bubblegum shouldn't be given thoughts when a team is hunting down the other one in a game of cricket, similar to the way kangaroos are being slaughtered in front of millions by the tigers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-1042904230819447784?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/1042904230819447784/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=1042904230819447784' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1042904230819447784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1042904230819447784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/slaughtering-kangaroos.html' title='Slaughtering the kangaroos..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQjq9Pt5kzI/AAAAAAAAAOk/ypzsLNhRx_g/s72-c/ponting.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7579306499293353025</id><published>2008-10-28T11:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-28T20:01:52.030-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rules'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='division'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boundaries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biharis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='united'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='attack'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='foolishness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cooperation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politicians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='maharashtrians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='integrity'/><title type='text'>India divided..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQfSBMywzRI/AAAAAAAAAOc/Pgg5o64Xpvc/s1600-h/Division_Sign%28a%29.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 124px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQfSBMywzRI/AAAAAAAAAOc/Pgg5o64Xpvc/s320/Division_Sign%28a%29.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262405607661554962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;We often call our nation united on all basis. We say we stand together during troubled times. We talk about national integrity and the feeling of oneness. We find a current of excitement flowing within us whenever we hear a politician talking about binding the nation together and other crap. But, are we really together all the time? The word 'UNITy is missing almost everywhere in India. Each of us focus on what seems important to us as individuals and thus, our objectives are scattered which shakes the root of unification. This hampers what is known as balanced development in India. I watch news channels most of the times while sitting in front of the TV set. I am most interested in the news related to national issues and the show clouded over the incidents that led to the brutal attacks on North Indians in the so called modern city of India, Mumbai. When the place lacks even the smallest amount of tolerance, which is the fundamental requirement for a Democracy to function, how can it be considered a modern society? The news channel covered the incidents that resulted in brutal attack of Biharis and other North Indians by Maharashtrians. Why don't these people understand for heaven's sake that India is a democracy and every citizen has the right to move wherever he wants within the nation? Land areas and boundaries are all that which are sufficient for the Maharashtrians to set the spark the set the Biharis on flame. Though every single Maharashtrian knows that there is a big political ploy behind the whole scenario, they don't get their tails out of the mess and they are getting on the attacks more seriously than before. Cunning politicians and not so sensible people should understand that India has been divided into different states not to follow the 'Divide and Rule' trick followed strictly by the British. The division into states is to streamline the Governance of the nation. River Cauvery knows neither Kannada nor Tamil. But, the states divided on languages fight for getting their fair share of the water. Natural resources in the nation are available for everyone to use. Why is Karnataka presses so hard on such futile issues and arguments? Housing a Hi-tech city costs nothing more than few billion dollars. What helps in evaluating the state is its co-operation with its neighbors, which Karnataka has terribly failed at. Problem with India is that people are lazy to put their heads to good use by applying their minds on recognizing the path of development and the politicians are too cunning and able to apply more of their minds and time on devising strategies to make fools out of 120 billion people. Census says the literacy rate in India has been continuously going up every year. But, our behaviors don't make us look educated and sensible. We need to grow up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-7579306499293353025?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7579306499293353025/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=7579306499293353025' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7579306499293353025'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7579306499293353025'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/india-divided.html' title='India divided..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQfSBMywzRI/AAAAAAAAAOc/Pgg5o64Xpvc/s72-c/Division_Sign%28a%29.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-8839411729604463862</id><published>2008-10-26T12:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-27T13:15:04.110-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scavengers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='India people'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='excellence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='caste'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='talented'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reservation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='play with the imagination station'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inefficient'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='incapable'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='efficiency'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FC'/><title type='text'>Ridiculous reservation..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQYhLD8ObCI/AAAAAAAAAOU/AzIFSzjxdbM/s1600-h/anti_reservation_protest_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQYhLD8ObCI/AAAAAAAAAOU/AzIFSzjxdbM/s320/anti_reservation_protest_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261929688549190690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If India is called a secular nation and if the law says everyone is equal irrespective of caste or creed, then why do we have reservations in India? Why do a section of people need reservations and why is that people are divided on the bases of their castes? Where is the sign of equality in this nation? Recently, I was requested by one of my friends to check the date for her M.B.A counseling. I visited the Madras University website and managed to get the schedule that showed a list of eligibility criteria for candidates to appear for the counseling session. I was flabbergasted to find that the difference in mark required to attend the counseling sessions for people belonging to Scheduled caste and Scheduled tribe was extremely low, and insignificant, compared to the minimum mark, which was to be scored by people belonging to Forward caste to even think of a counseling session. The most disheartening fact was that the number of RESERVED admissions available for SC and ST people is extremely high and outnumbered the admissions available for FC people. As a result, most of the RESERVED admissions remain unfilled. But, almost all the admissions available for FC people will be taken up. What is the idea behind such an act of foolishness? What is the objective of reservations in India? I accept that SC and ST people need reservations as it is instrumental in building up their morale. But, why is that the number of reserved admissions is too high? Now, it looks like the FC people, who have the least number of admissions, are the ones who are being suppressed. The objective of reservations is to promote SC and ST people and not to suppress FC people. The guy in the hell, who came up with the term 'RESERVATION' in India, would have understood by now that he has got no way out of the place for committing such a blunder and spoiling the lives of millions of FC people. Ultimately, FC people are deprived of opportunities, which is a very bad sign for the nation's future. I don't think reservation is a good idea to encourage the weaker sections of the society. Instead, the Government could have drafted so many other plans to push those people who they think belong to weaker part of the society, which is actually not an appropriate term to make use of in a secular nation. Reservation is now being handled as a tool by the politicians in India to appease the common people, most of who don't belong to FC. With the number of FC being less compared to ST and SC in the country, Politicians are eying on the votes of billions of Non-FCs in the country to win a place in the Government. Demanding reservation is like begging for money. Calling reservation one of the rights of the suppressed class, which is once again an inappropriate term to use, is an act that makes screwing up the lives of FC people a law. Though the situations are getting harder everyday for FC people, they are actually the ones who fair better than their rivals to secure the top positions. This is the ability of FC people. As long as FC people live, even 90% reservation can't put any person from any other caste at the top. That is called efficiency, sincerity and hard work, lacking which makes one place his/her caste before the marksheets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-8839411729604463862?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8839411729604463862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=8839411729604463862' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8839411729604463862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8839411729604463862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/ridiculous-reservation.html' title='Ridiculous reservation..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQYhLD8ObCI/AAAAAAAAAOU/AzIFSzjxdbM/s72-c/anti_reservation_protest_3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-3331179457355426803</id><published>2008-10-25T11:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-27T11:53:39.489-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thoughts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='commonsense'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thinking'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Psychology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='senseless'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gordon Moore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mind'/><title type='text'>The book on mind reading..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Lately, I was searching desperately for a good book and I wasn't prepared to give much to the theme of the book. Some suggested me Dan Brown's Angels and demons. I've already got my hands on this book and it is now right at the top of my list of favorites! Several suggestions were flowing in. But, I was pretty sure that the book one liked need necessarily not produce the same kind of affinity when it comes to another person because, as we all know, opinions differ. So, I wasn't sure how far the suggested books would go within me. Hence, I questioned myself as to which book I should try this time. It's almost been 7 months since I took the books with more than 500 leaves in my hands and now, I don't think I have the patience to go through the entire book if it is going to be one of those heavily loaded books. That made me go for a book with the number of pages neither excessive nor insufficient even to call it a book. This book was penned by Gordon Mooer. The book talked about the hidden efficiency of a human mind and its capabilities that are unreachable even by human imaginations. I was so happy to spot a book that gave the exact difference between a mind and a brain, which are often considered to be synonymous to each other. But, Mooer clearly came out with the exact difference that differentiates mind from brain. Brain is a physical structure but mind is all about visions and  thoughts that emerge from the brain. Scientists have coined term brain waves which originate from the brain when a person tends to think of something or when the subconscious mind starts working on its own without any voluntary stimulus. I always wondered what people meant by Peace of Mind. This book gave me a clear definition of mind that I now understand commonsense has got nothing to do with our brain. What originates from your brain in the form of thoughts is put into action that decides your commonsense. So, next time you find a senseless idiot annoying you, don't think he has got no brain. It's just that the quality of thoughts that emerge from his brain is too low to bear with for you! I just love going through this book since it has taught me everything an aspiring psychologists need to know in the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-3331179457355426803?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/3331179457355426803/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=3331179457355426803' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3331179457355426803'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3331179457355426803'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/book-on-mind-reading.html' title='The book on mind reading..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7829172740029006352</id><published>2008-10-25T05:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-25T11:58:03.809-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='central government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='human chain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jokers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sri Lanka'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sinhalese'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='senseless'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politicians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tamil Nadu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stupidity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chennai'/><title type='text'>Chain with weak links..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQNsHANwCWI/AAAAAAAAAOM/rd6DUVdmyGc/s1600-h/196049198_11ed9c8cfe.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 485px; height: 323px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQNsHANwCWI/AAAAAAAAAOM/rd6DUVdmyGc/s320/196049198_11ed9c8cfe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261167657271429474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div face="georgia" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;They didn't know what they were doing. They had no clue who they are struggling for. They didn't even know whether it was really an act with a good cause. But, they stood strong in the making of the longest human chain ever made possible in the country even when it was raining. I won't call it a heavy downpour as some of the TV channels with strong political backgrounds did. In a city with a population of more than 7 crores, only few thousands participated in the human chain that had a span of 60 KM according to the media reports and the best part of the funny fable is that the human chain covered some of the most busiest parts of the city, thus making it too difficult even for the pedestrians to walk through. I doubt whether the people other than politicians who participated in the rally really knew what their message through the human chain motion was to the Central Government. If you are one of those who were standing as a link for the chain, let me tell you what you were doing exactly. You were supporting who are completely responsible for all the miseries the country of Sri Lanka is suffering today. You were a wet goat yesterday because the politicians wanted to make you look dumb while they were waving hands at you staying within their bullet-proof cars and Z-Grade security ring around them. You were supporting the people simply because they speak the same language as you do. You forgot the fact that it was with the help of a large section of these people that Sivaraj and Nalini managed to infiltrate India and succeeded in their attempt on the life of this nation's Prime Minister. You were standing on the street on an overcast day trying to be a redeemer for these people who have illegally occupied a big part of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has a Government like India. They have their own Prime Ministers and his cabinet to decide on this issue. Understand that Sri Lanka isn't a part of India if that is what you were thinking while making a clown out of you yesterday. If trying to push the Sri Lankan Government to spare the lives of millions of Tamil people living in Sri Lanka is sensible from your scrutiny, then it is quite acceptable if the Sri Lankan Government tends to interfere in the internal affairs of India and forces the Government of India to do something about it since these militant groups haven't got their hands on Sri Lanka anytime in the past. It's always good for us to know our boundaries and stay within it. At the end of the day, we had the politicians resting at their places after successfully making fools out of thousands of Tamil people, you standing wet on the streets, causing one of the biggest and annoying traffic congestions in the city ever and the world looking down upon you as a muck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-7829172740029006352?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7829172740029006352/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=7829172740029006352' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7829172740029006352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7829172740029006352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/chain-with-weak-links.html' title='Chain with weak links..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQNsHANwCWI/AAAAAAAAAOM/rd6DUVdmyGc/s72-c/196049198_11ed9c8cfe.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-1375145830490751188</id><published>2008-10-24T11:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-24T15:19:31.947-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aussie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gilly'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gilchrist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='australia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sachin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='honesty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kangaroos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='George.W.Bush'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ponting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tendulkar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='loser'/><title type='text'>Questioning from the tainted side..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.zeenews.com/Img/2008/10/24/dgvsdfgsd.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.zeenews.com/Img/2008/10/24/dgvsdfgsd.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hot news of the day is someone from the most arrogant, unmindful and tainted cricketing team in the world has come up with an issue that is totally against the fact, which is very obvious. People are convinced that the allegations from this man, who is known by the name Adam Gilchrist, from Australia are baseless and against reality. It's quite natural to find an internationally popular personality getting on to his nerves as soon as he goes on air in front of a TV camera. But, Gilly was completely enthusiastic while penning his autobiography, which paved the way for him to take on the little master, Sachin Tendulkar. Gilchrist completely annihilated the fact that the Australians were solely instrumental in building the technique of sledging so strong. Also, the Australians made the term 'Mind games' more popular than the name 'George.W.Bush'. Mind game is the filtered term they used to cover up their negative and filthy aggression. No one could stand a player from such a ruthless team talking rudely about the greatest cricketer of all times. Silly Gilly alleged that Sachin contradicted himself while he appeared for the Bhajji's trial in front of the board of umpires and that he tried to protect Bhajji. Finally, this man came up with a harsh statement that questioned Sachin's honesty. Why couldn't Gilchrist remember the Sharjah series between the two countries when Sachin walked out even when umpire didn't raise his crooked finger? Does Gilly even really qualify to spell the word Honesty when he couldn't remember what happened to Indians in their recent tour of Australia? It was Gilly's captain who took the additional responsibility and told the umpire the catch was clean. Where was Gilly's honesty at that moment? Players, after moving away from the game, should try staying away from such careless comments also.  Gilly's arteries went down in the quantity of tequila which he had before sitting with the pen and a book to scribble his biography and he realized he did something wrong few moments back. That was when he called up Sachin and apologized for going beyond the limits by calling him a 'sore loser' and quoting that it is very hard to find Tendulkar in the dressing room for a handshake after the game ends in a high note for Aussie. This is now very funny. Sachin has nothing to lose and the world now knows who acted like a jester in this issue. Gilly has everything to lose. He has just started to lose his fame and glory that he earned while he was online even though he was under the umbrella of pointless Ponting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-1375145830490751188?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/1375145830490751188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=1375145830490751188' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1375145830490751188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1375145830490751188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/questioning-from-tainted-side.html' title='Questioning from the tainted side..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-1607614671973778934</id><published>2008-10-23T22:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-24T13:08:37.909-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bloggers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stock'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='profit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='value'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dollar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='market'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crash'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='economy'/><title type='text'>Boom in the bloggers' world..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQIqxOGAt0I/AAAAAAAAAOE/kTpIl67Qk50/s1600-h/us+dollar+bills.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQIqxOGAt0I/AAAAAAAAAOE/kTpIl67Qk50/s320/us+dollar+bills.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260814339807426370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;International markets are experiencing fatal financial crisis. Red glows all over the world markets starting from NASDAQ to NIKKEI. A part of the impacts of dropping share markets is felt on the food and oil prices, which have reached the levels that have never even been imagined of in the past. Name any industry and you would find it in the list of industries that possess broken statures in the economy today. Investors are not prepared to lend ears to what the Union Finance Ministry has got to say because the latter had always tried to soothe the former even when there were hard times approaching their pockets. The economic depreciation has been given a chance to engulf the nation by sparking what are known price hikes. When the cost of petrol per barrel has dipped below $80, which is the lowest value in the last 6 months, the petroleum ministry is unable to bring down the cost of a liter of petrol in India. The effect of inflation swung back to increase the magic figure of agony which reached a double figure very recently. You might be wondering what a blogger has got to do with all these misfortunes. Though these are unfortunate causes of inflation and price rise, bloggers from India are having a pleasant time under the hot sun while others are beaten by the heat. With the approaching economic crisis which started with U.S, the value of Indian currency has dropped to the record lowest value. This may indicate the signs of doomsday at India's doorstep. But, for the bloggers in India, this has brought the positive effect of inflation and weakened value of Indian Rupees against U.S.D. Now, I've earned around $700 through my blogs. A part of this amount reached my online account when the INR's value versus U.S.D was Rs.43. When I received the amount in INR, the value was Rs.47. Thus, for every American dollar, I managed to put up an excess Rs.4, which is flatly a bonus! Now, I don't know what I should do. I don't know whether I should feel bad for enjoying the happy turnover when the whole nation is suffering from critical economic crisis or feel good that I am capable of surviving the disaster called economic downfall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-1607614671973778934?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/1607614671973778934/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=1607614671973778934' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1607614671973778934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/1607614671973778934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/booming-bloggers-world.html' title='Boom in the bloggers&apos; world..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQIqxOGAt0I/AAAAAAAAAOE/kTpIl67Qk50/s72-c/us+dollar+bills.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7835765985449039286</id><published>2008-10-23T15:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-24T04:00:51.058-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rules'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='one-way'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='two-way'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='traffic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='regulation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='congestaion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='coordination'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='signal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='police'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pollution'/><title type='text'>Rules gone wrong..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://karthik3685.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/noentry.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 374px; height: 385px;" src="http://karthik3685.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/noentry.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Of late, we find so many changes in the traffic rules that are applicable within the city limits of Chennai. Helmets are made mandatory for bike riders. I always talk about this helmet issue whenever I talk about traffic policemen and anything related to them for I've dropped some bucks in their pockets, sometimes for not sticking on to the rules and sometimes for sticking to the rules but failing to convince these jerks in uniforms. At the end of the day, I hate them to the deepest core! Anyway, let me take you through the anomalies in the traffic rules we follow in Chennai. There are hard proofs available to stand firm on the fact that there is no coordination between the traffic police department, the oil ministry, health ministry and in fact, the whole Government. Today, the trend that is invading the minds of traffic policemen is "One-way or no way". Almost 30% of the main roads in the city, which were once used for two-way traffic, have been made one-way which, according to the police department, is an attempt to regulate and diversify the growing traffic in the city. Recently, I had been to Egmore and found that almost all the Roads at the junction had next to Pudupet had been turned into one-way roads. Something told me it's not going to be an easy task to reach the Commissioner's Office. I drove straight and when I was about to take a right, I found that the road is being used for one-way traffic and I had to go straight further. This isn't area with which I am quite familiar. So, I had no idea about the small roads in between the main roads which might probably take me to the destination in my mind. I reached the junction and now the rule is different. I am not allowed to take a right turn, though the road on my right is available for two-way traffic. The journey, straight down the road, continued with my bike running low on fuel. I reached another junction, where the signal timer continued flicking through the numbers for more than 2 minutes. At last I took a right turn, which was exactly the same I should have done 5 minutes back. Now, my destination lied to my right and I needed to take a right turn somewhere. I found a right and also a board that said 'No Right Turn'. But, the funniest part of the rule is that U-turn was allowed at that place. My journey on Kilpauk high road continued. The next right turn was a one-way. So, it kept me moving straight. Finally, the end of a long stretch came to an end and I found that I had reached the place from where my journey from Mount Road to Commissioner Office at Egmore. Thus, what I was left with in the end was a 'Pradhakshanam' around the Commissioner Office. I sought after the help of an auto-rickshaw driver, who, I was sure, would know even the smallest of streets in the city. He made me reach the place through a small street. Thus, I had a 5KM ride on my bike which should actually have been a 300 meter journey. Isn't this an idiotic act that puts down all the purposes of the oil ministry to bring down the oil prices? I was in great demand for petrol for my bike. Demand is the reason for the price hike. I could imagine the number of people who would have faced the same misery on bike as I did. That magnifies the demand which in turn gives Government no room to reduce the fuel cost. Since the entire traffic towards Egmore is diverted to Kilpauk High road, the congestion at the junction at the mouth of the main road has increased to several folds. Thus, the amount of exhaust gases let out in the atmosphere obviously goes up, which makes the conditions highly unhealthy. Thus, all the efforts of the Union Health ministry is made to go up in flames. I doubt whether Mr.Anbumani Ramadoss has the knowledge that smoking in public doesn't add as much smoke as the vehicle exhausts does to the atmosphere when the vehicle engines are put on idling at junctions and when the runtime of the vehicles on the roads increase due to congestion, which in turn leads to same effects on one's health as smoking. This reflects the complete lack of coordination between the different parts of the machinery called Government. Thus, the state has become a vehicle with the wheels at the rear end trying to go back while the wheels at the front pushing the system forward. And the system, which is the society here, stays right at the place where it was before the processes started, leading to stagnation!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-7835765985449039286?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7835765985449039286/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=7835765985449039286' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7835765985449039286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7835765985449039286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/rules-gone-wrong.html' title='Rules gone wrong..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-5403597914811043963</id><published>2008-10-23T11:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T14:04:04.810-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='enjoy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='joy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='happy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crackers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ravana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diwali'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='deepavali'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ram'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Seetha'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='burst'/><title type='text'>Festive mood sets in..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hinduyuva.org/tattva-blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/diwali.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 468px; height: 450px;" src="http://www.hinduyuva.org/tattva-blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/diwali.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 10"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 10"&gt;&lt;link style="font-family: georgia;" rel="File-List" href="file:///F:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTHEGRE%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;w:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;w:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;w:useasianbreakrules/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;w:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 10]&gt; &lt;style&gt;  /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; 	mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 	mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; 	mso-style-noshow:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; 	mso-para-margin:0in; 	mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:10.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman";} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The festival of lights is around the corner and the sky above the whole nation will be glowing for the next few days if one takes the bird's view. It's Diwali that we are inching closer to everyday! This is the most colorful and flamboyant festival one could think of. We should thank Lord Ram for giving all of us a reason to make the sky brighter than usual at nights for few days. Some, who are against Hinduism, may point to the fact that on the day of Diwali, pollution across the whole nation increases to a fatal level. Such ignorant facts should be eradicated from the Devil's workshop and such people should understand that Diwali isn't the only cause for pollution. Everyday, millions of factory outlets and billions of vehicles all over the world contribute in a major scale to pollution. Futile arguments shouldn't be pushed to the surface just because some have severe hatred for Hinduism. Diwali is not only a festival that spreads joy and happiness in the form of light. It is also an occasion that can remove the darkness dominating one's mind. Naragasuran, the devil in the form of human, inflicted pain to several people and there was no room for happiness in his kingdom. The purpose of Lord Ram's birth was to bring the miseries of people to an end by vanquishing Ravana, who is depicted as a human with 10 heads. After defeating Ravana and saving Seetha from his demonic clutches, Lord Ram proved his benevolence by offering a wish for Ravana. Unlike the villains the movies depict today, Ravana realized his mistakes before his life came to an end and wished for something nobody would have even thought of quoting as a wish. He wanted the people all over the world to celebrate the day he died and he wanted the day to be called Deepavali, which, over the time, turned into Diwali. Now, after experiencing 22 years on this earth with some really bad people, I don't find Ravan really bad. I doubt whether Lord Ram would be able to repeat the history now for weeding some of the unwanted elements in the nation who are personifications of evil. Let us hope this Deepavali spreads light on the minds of such blackened minds. Let’s spread the joy in the form of light! Happy Deepavali fellas!!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-5403597914811043963?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/5403597914811043963/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=5403597914811043963' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5403597914811043963'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/5403597914811043963'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/festive-mood-sets-in.html' title='Festive mood sets in..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-3566228315949193680</id><published>2008-10-22T15:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T04:20:20.089-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='songs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='noisy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tunes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='worst'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='malayalam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bollywood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tamil Nadu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='A.R.Rahman'/><title type='text'>Music and movies..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQBd3lRG1pI/AAAAAAAAAN8/bPyJnuAwQrk/s1600-h/music+notes+for+graphic+design.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQBd3lRG1pI/AAAAAAAAAN8/bPyJnuAwQrk/s320/music+notes+for+graphic+design.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260307574246790802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I am a hardcore music lover. It's one thing apart from my blogger friends and other intimate mates that keeps me going when I decide to make a blog post in here. That is one of the reasons for adding this widget to my blog that plays music automatically when someone visits it. When I am listening to a good song, especially a TAMIL song, I feel really easy to club my ideas together without any obscurity. I don't why this happens but I feel plainly comfortable with my blog when music hits the background. If asked to rate the quality of music, I would put TAMIL songs at the top followed by English genres. I won't spare time thinking about the Hindi music world because such a thing doesn't exist. What actually comes from Bollywood is a Hindi NOISY world. Very rarely, good music comes from Bollywood and you would find the man behind the successful reach of the songs in South India will once again be from South India. [A.R.Rahman ;-)]. Tamil music has the essence to go deep within anyone except those that are technically termed 'KUTHU' songs. Sometimes, even these songs sound better than the ones that come from Bollywood after the music scorers spent so many precious hours in them. Bollywood is almost full of noisy tracks which don't sound pleasant for many. Lately, I tried to develop an inch of interest in me for bollywood music. I listened to the song 'Hello' from the movie 'Hello'. It was so boring and carried the same old hindi tradition of going the Western way. I guess people from bollywood think they are right on track to take Indian cinema closer to Hollywood. But, the fact is that they are damping the Indian movie industry's development by concentrating more on making movies that look very similar to their Hollywood counterparts. And they have even attempted to build the so called King Khan's image as big as Tom Cruise's in Hollywood. I have spotted Tom Cruise giving a touch to his hairstyle for his movies. The only change that this man from Bollywood managed to produce is a 6-pack. And his hair style remains the same from Baazigar to Om Shanthi Om. Thus, I feel if Bolllywood tries to turn a bit of its attention towards the improvisation of its music world, it will be helpful for the Indian movies. I find the Malayalam songs really good and I don't know why people don't celebrate Mallu songs and go for NOISY tunes. That is the only magic Bollywood came up with so far. So, my suggestion to all my fellow Indian bloggers is to listen to either Malayalam or Tamil songs while blogging if you are wishing to build an extremely well-shaped blog. If you want to produce a blog as irregular as Bollywod, listen to Hindi songs. If possible, watch Shah Rukh Khan's movies before you start with your blog so that you can get the 'Worst Blogger Award' if not the best. :-P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-3566228315949193680?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/3566228315949193680/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=3566228315949193680' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3566228315949193680'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3566228315949193680'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/music-and-movies.html' title='Music and movies..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SQBd3lRG1pI/AAAAAAAAAN8/bPyJnuAwQrk/s72-c/music+notes+for+graphic+design.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-133222073006944028</id><published>2008-10-21T14:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-22T15:33:08.232-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogger'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1 year'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog awards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thanks'/><title type='text'>One full year of blogging!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bookburger.typepad.com/bookburger/images/2007/05/07/first_birthday_news_image_tcm185308.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://bookburger.typepad.com/bookburger/images/2007/05/07/first_birthday_news_image_tcm185308.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Finally, I've reached the place I aimed to be at exactly 365 days back in the past! I've been trying to keep up with my blog for the past 1 year and I guess I have successfully managed to build a good one. I was going through all the posts I had published in the past and I am point-blank satisfied by the way I have handled the titles and the topics. I am not trying to blow my trumpet. But, I have succeeded, for the first time in my life, in an attempt to feel self-satisfied. I am in fact very much pleased by my intentions to blog about topics that normally won't be considered for developing blogs by those millions of better bloggers out there in the world. I struggled really hard in the beginning to push my kid into the vast blog world. At first, I felt so small on looking at bloggers who were too professional and had the expertise in them to make some of the world's best blogs. I started blogging just to experience the elation when I see what ran through my mind blended with the blog template to produce the effect of a real and quality website. I was so happy after publishing my first post because I lifted myself to the status of Google's owner, though I don't who it is, since I own a niche right here like Google in the world of web. My initial posts were too long for the readers to go through completely and some of my friends even brought the request to reduce the number of words I used in my posts to me. It has become a habit now and I still couldn't get out of 'make-big-posts' practice. I owe my friends everything I earned through this blog in the form of bucks and many international blogger friends because they kept the thrust behind me steady and kept me moving deeper into the blog world. I don't know where I would be placed if I stand against other good bloggers I know today. But, I won't be disheartened even if I win the last place in the list starting with the best in the business. At the end of the day, a place in the list of bloggers is all I need and I want to make sure I don't find anything missing in me which might honestly be considered essential to make a good blogger out of anyone. And I couldn't drop out of this post without citing some of my good blogger friends, though each and every single blogger is held close to my heart, who are so nice to exchange messages and links with me habitually and helped me stay right on the track. Here are some of the best bloggers I enjoyed being with :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.riastevenson.com/"&gt;Ria Stevenson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.articlesblogger.com/"&gt;Articles Blogger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://askmsrecipe.com/"&gt;Ask me recipe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.edelweiza.com/"&gt;Edelweiza&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.articlesmodern.com/"&gt;Momeen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends, thank you so much for making me a blogger.

An auto-rickshaw trying to make a U-turn at the other end? An auto-rickshaw taking a right turn? A black Ford Ikon trying to take a right turn from the far end of the picture? Yes. You can find all these things in this picture. And you can also spot the cyclist to your left looking at a clown in white shirt standing right at the middle of the road doing nothing. Don't mistake him for a vagabond. Actually, he is one of those vagabonds who are given uniforms and codes of conduct and also the name 'Traffic policemen'. They have a department. They make themselves responsible for maintaining law, order and discipline among the drivers on the roads of Chennai, which are gaining good shapes these days. They have even listed down a number of rules to be followed by the drivers and especially bike riders lately. All these rules are, according to these scavengers of money in uniform, drafted to ensure safety. My question is, whose safety are they trying to ensure? I am quite sure they are more worried about the gloomy days yet to be faced by Indian economy and they have already started filling up their bank accounts using the money which they get mostly from bike riders, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 10"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 10"&gt;&lt;link style="font-family: georgia;" rel="File-List" href="file:///F:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTHEGRE%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;w:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;w:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;w:useasianbreakrules/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;w:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;}&lt;/style&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"  &gt;to ensure their families remain safe when the whole nation is in grief&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;. These traffic constables call helmet a part of a bike rider's dress code. And they say it's a must for a rider to have a helmet protecting his head while riding a bike. They are more concerned about the riders' dress code. But, look at this man in Khaki pants and white shirt in the picture above. Look closely at the picture. I know you have spotted that the beggar bound by baseless rules has not put on his rain boots. If you have a good vision, you can find another policeman at the far end of the picture, near the black Ford Ikon. You can find him in his rain boots. I accept that rain boots are not a part of their uniform. But, I don't think a pair of toilet slippers is a part of their dress code either. Are they? I never knew Chennai Traffic police department has brought some comfortable changes for making the traffic constables feel good when they become a mere spectator looking at the moving vehicles hours together, standing under the shade and rarely dropping out of it to stop a vehicle for the valuable insurance papers, which if missing would make them ask for the really valuable piece of paper called money. I can't stop imagining the other developments that would have their roots in the department very soon. What do you know? If this is a deliberate change in the dressing code followed by the traffic police, then I could guess the next big changes in line that would be brought upon these maggots. Low waist short pants, Nike shoes, sleeveless low drops, tattoos on arms and also on the bulky bellies, pierced ears and a haircut that appears like contour farming. After all, these would look really cool and comfortable. Won't they? :-P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-3948550181196725269?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/3948550181196725269/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=3948550181196725269' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3948550181196725269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3948550181196725269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/degrading-dress-code.html' title='Degrading dress code..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SP4h8VB86NI/AAAAAAAAANc/aHpLc4iMitg/s72-c/mama.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-4381970548889586469</id><published>2008-10-18T14:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-19T09:14:48.450-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='best'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mumbai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kolkata'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chennai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ultra-modern'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='literacy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='economy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cities'/><title type='text'>Ultra-modern cities???</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPtcZBisDyI/AAAAAAAAANE/E8Jp6em7d8U/s1600-h/Photo-0002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPtcZBisDyI/AAAAAAAAANE/E8Jp6em7d8U/s400/Photo-0002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258898574865600290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Chennai is becoming more sophisticated and advanced in terms of lifestyle, economy, opportunities and entertainment without giving up its image as a cultural hub. With cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad failing terribly in an attempt to acclimatize themselves to the lifestyle of Western hemisphere, Chennai made sure it followed its own unique way of development and progress. Initially, people were laughing at the way Chennai projected itself as a metropolitan city without a big number of night clubs and party floors which the people from above mentioned cities thought were the sign of development. Now, the world laughs at these cities for their ignorance about the real meaning of development and turning a city into a metropolitan on the map. I feel really bad for those cities because they thought they were right on track of development without carrying the reality in their minds, which is actually that they were going exactly the wrong way. Following the way people live in the Western world is good for a developed nation in the East. But, we should not forget India is a developing nation that has a heavy load of 120 billion people on its back and trying to imitate westerners is a blunder which the so called developed cities in India committed. First of all, how can certain cities alone be considered as developed parts of the nation when the whole nation is called a developing one? Isn't the word integration missing right at the root of this point? Development doesn't mean bollywood or night clubs or dance floors. Development doesn't even mean good looking girls wearing Low waist jeans and t-shirts with quotes on them that contain the words 'WANNA' or 'GONNA' in the places of 'WANT TO' or 'GOING TO'. People from these cities should understand development is a collective term that covers criteria like employment, literacy rate, specific, per capita income, establishments in various fields of business and the like. Just because a state owns Nasik, the capital of the state can't be called the New York of India. Chennai survives majority of these criteria, though not all. When it comes to industrial development and literacy rate, Chennai is several folds better than Mumbai or Hyderabad. People have just started to show themselves as trendy. According to a recent survey, among all the cities, the Chennai people spend more on entertainment and thus, Mumbai is beaten to the floor even when it comes to considering entertainment as the main criterion to judge the development of a state. Thus, I cannot search for words other then 'THE BEST' for Chennai and 'SATISFACTORY', though not completely, for other cities which proclaim to be completely ultra-modern, rich and decent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-4381970548889586469?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4381970548889586469/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=4381970548889586469' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4381970548889586469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4381970548889586469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/ultra-modern-cities.html' title='Ultra-modern cities???'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPtcZBisDyI/AAAAAAAAANE/E8Jp6em7d8U/s72-c/Photo-0002.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-4640894705061915861</id><published>2008-10-17T08:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-17T13:40:01.080-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cute'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beautiful'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blacky'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='adorable'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kittens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brawny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cutie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animals'/><title type='text'>Grief-stricken kitten..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPj1R349HQI/AAAAAAAAAMc/i16KGC-LyF8/s1600-h/cats+%281%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 411px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPj1R349HQI/AAAAAAAAAMc/i16KGC-LyF8/s320/cats+%281%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258222252364471554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know what comes to your mind immediately after viewing the picture I've put up here. This is the first time I am talking about my kittens on my blog. This is also the first time I am talking about my personal experiences in bringing up four young ones belonging to the cute cat family which found a place to dwell in my house. These kittens are cute, They are cute, They are adorable. And they are completely mischievous. My parents were totally against the idea of keeping these four kittens in the house which looked smaller than my palm immediately after their birth. They even told me they can find a good shelter for them somewhere outside on the road. The very word 'Road' crushes all the safety that could possibly be provided to these kittens till they grow large enough to at least run away from common threats like stray dogs, bigger cats and the vehicles driven by ruthless drivers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPj1un8ZGAI/AAAAAAAAAMk/hWCNPBSTWoI/s1600-h/fhfgh+%282%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPj1un8ZGAI/AAAAAAAAAMk/hWCNPBSTWoI/s320/fhfgh+%282%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258222746300127234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I couldn't imagine these small and innocent creatures suffering the agony of which would be forced on them if they are exposed to the world outside my house. Hence, I decided to keep them safe within my room so that none of my family members would be bothered by these kittens. Initially, they faced serious threats from bigger cats and one huge cat almost brought the life of brawny, the golden-brown kitten in the above picture, to an end when he was just 2 months old. About a month back, the kitten that is white with patches of light golden-brown which can be found sitting briskly while the other three are dozing off fast, suffered a severe stomach disorder. From the way he moved around the place, I realized there was something terribly wrong with his stomach. Also, his mew was not as loud as the other three. One day, I found that his stomach had started bulging and that was when I knew he was critical. I searched the net for some remedies but found nothing. The next day, he lost control of the saliva production in his mouth and I found lathers around his mouth. I knew it was too late. But, I couldn't find a way to help him. He was just 3 months old when these symptoms were detected. His body temperature started increasing and that was when I came to know he was suffering from a severe bacterial infection. It was too late now. He started counting his hours. For one last time, I wanted to hold the kitten I loved to play with in my hand. His eyes reflected how tired he was. I looked into his eyes and felt he was asking me to help him get the problem out of his stomach. I was pathetic. I couldn't look at him after that since he started struggling awfully. He stopped moving around. He sat at a place for more than 8 hours continuously without food and water. It was 3.30 A.M when I left him in my room and went out to the hall. I was back to the room at 6.30 A.M just to find three kittens sitting beside an immobile kitten with its jaw wide open. He finally escaped the pain he had been suffering for few days then. I wasn't prepared for the job but I knew I had no choice. I dug the grave for him at the backyard and buried him with a heavy heart, with the hope that he will reappear in the form of a plant very soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPj2VHinnII/AAAAAAAAAMs/bNdMHScNqO0/s1600-h/tfuuo+%282%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPj2VHinnII/AAAAAAAAAMs/bNdMHScNqO0/s320/tfuuo+%282%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258223407616990338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't prepared for another such incident and very soon, Blacky, the black kitten, started suffering the same symptoms as his brother did before he went to the heavens. I wanted to act quick and sensible and took the three kittens to a vet clinic. The doctor diagnosed the real cause of what the kitten suffered from. It was a kitten fever which would cost the kitten's life if left unnoticed. He injected the white kitten with black and brown spots and Blacky since they were running on a moderate temperature. Brawny seemed to be extremely normal, and a bit overactive, and hence the doc decided to vaccinate him. The total cost of all the injections was $20. I never cared about the money. I want the kittens to be alive as long as they are with me. And also after they go out of the house into the wide world.  Now, the three kittens are in great shape and they have grown big! But, they are so affectionate towards me which prevents them from going out of my room during night times. All they need to have a peaceful night sleep are Air-conditioner that should run for about 20 minutes, a warm and cozy blanket to make themselves secure in it. After all, they are living creatures smaller than human beings. Their lives are in no way inferior to our lives. They are as important as human beings are to me. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as this kitten is concerned, I would remember him as long as my I meet him again in the heavens. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPj3Kgd8s0I/AAAAAAAAAM0/Ape_2lUz6Ys/s1600-h/fhfgh+%289%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPj3Kgd8s0I/AAAAAAAAAM0/Ape_2lUz6Ys/s320/fhfgh+%289%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258224324841354050" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-4640894705061915861?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4640894705061915861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=4640894705061915861' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4640894705061915861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/4640894705061915861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/grief-stricken-kitten.html' title='Grief-stricken kitten..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPj1R349HQI/AAAAAAAAAMc/i16KGC-LyF8/s72-c/cats+%281%29.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-9006651501536892290</id><published>2008-10-17T01:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-18T01:32:47.200-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Goa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crime'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Newtons 3rd law'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politicians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='order'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='influence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Goa's jinx..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's too early now to forget the unfortunate tourists' murders in Goa and before we could annihilate such bad memories from our mind, another one such incidents has come up cracking the surface. This time the scenario is set around the son of a minister of Goa. It's very disheartening to find the ministry that comes under this minister's ordinance. This is the education minister of Goa and the son is now a part of Police's wanted list for molesting a minor foreign girl, who was here to enjoy her in Goa vacation. This is an example case that shows how bad and weak the law and order in our country are. Police started searching for the boy as soon as they received the news and the search was made stronger since the number of crimes against foreign tourists is increasing at an appalling rate everyday, in spite of the fact that the criminal involved in this case is the son of one of the most influential ministers in Goa. I was quite satisfied by the way police department worked towards the case and tried to put the criminal behind the bars. But, the bad news I stumbled on this morning is that cops have deferred the case against the son for now and the politician claims that his son is innocent, which is a very common statement that most of the politicians come up with after their close ones get into trouble. None of us know what happened behind the screen which stopped the inching of police towards getting their hands on the criminal who cares to give nothing to the glory of this nation. But, we can be sure something very bad has taken place against the law behind the screen just because it's a politician's son who is into trouble now. Can law do anything to bring justice to the foreign girl who was 14 when this incident happened? Where is the equality here? Can the courts now take a chance and prove that it still stays above Government by providing the perfect verdict in this case? Are the police capable of working independently without the influence of politicians who work only for their welfare? The answer is one and the same for all these questions. NO! That's it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-9006651501536892290?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/9006651501536892290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=9006651501536892290' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/9006651501536892290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/9006651501536892290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/goas-jinx.html' title='Goa&apos;s jinx..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-161281225857443233</id><published>2008-10-16T20:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-17T05:51:20.721-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='POTA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sotta thalayan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='internal affair'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='central government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='karunanidhi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sri Lanka'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tigers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tamil Nadu'/><title type='text'>Inconvenient insensitivity..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://fwe.cwis.org/__oneclick_uploads/2007/10/tamil-eelam-brder-copy.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://fwe.cwis.org/__oneclick_uploads/2007/10/tamil-eelam-brder-copy.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to creating turmoil in the state and eventually across the whole nation, and threatening the allies, no one come closer to even the foot of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, which works under the cap of Karunanidhi, who doesn't seem to possess even a hint of mercy for the Central Government as his name proclaims. The economy is hitting rocks and going out of proportion every second. This has kept the Central Government extremely busy in searching for an alternative to pull the nation out of the trench. At such a crucial point of time, the irresponsible Government of Tamil Nadu under Karunanidhi's inefficient leadership has started pressing its requirements hard on the desks of Central Government. I never knew D.M.K people are so ignorant that they never understood that India and Sri Lank are two different countries. The party expressed itself to be furious over the deaths of thousands of Tamil people in Sri Lanka in the regions occupied by the Tamil Tigers, who are nothing but militants fighting against democracy in the country of Sri Lanka. D.M.K came up with a senseless idea to appease the tamil people which is to force the Central Government to stop aiding Sri Lanka in its battle against Tamil people of the land. When it happens in Sri Lanka, it is left to the Government of Sri Lanka to scrutinize the situation and proceed with necessary measures. How can a human, though a barber in the past, be so stupid to ask the Government to interfere in the internal affairs of a neighboring country? A political party can't be so idiotic to support a bunch of people in some other country, who are suspected to stir the already hostile environment to intensify the battle between the Government and the Tamil tigers, who are considered as terrorists in Sri Lanka.  Karunanidhi is holding the wrong end of a hot rod and has gone out in support of those in Sri Lanka just because they speak the same language as we do in Tamil Nadu. People are not sure whether Karunanidhi is aware of the fact that he is supporting a group of people, a part of which supports the Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers or most popularly, TERRORISTS. Now, the reason behind D.M.K's loud cry for the cessation of POTA is quite clear. It was D.M.K which once hoisted its voice to declare Tamil Nadu as an Independent country free from India and unite it with the governance of Sri Lanka. This might just be the beginning of a second attempt that D.M.K is making to commit more blunders than ever before in the piece of land obtained by merging Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-161281225857443233?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/161281225857443233/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=161281225857443233' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/161281225857443233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/161281225857443233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/inconvenient-insensitivity.html' title='Inconvenient insensitivity..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-3297251627980910846</id><published>2008-10-16T19:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-17T04:15:33.805-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sachin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cricket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='don bradman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='record'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pride'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tendulkar'/><title type='text'>The God with a bat..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPhzbhCvnLI/AAAAAAAAAMU/NWoIGv9_8Nk/s1600-h/SachinTendulkar14-full.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPhzbhCvnLI/AAAAAAAAAMU/NWoIGv9_8Nk/s320/SachinTendulkar14-full.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258079481518595250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;When the whole nation is worried about the gloomy twists the economy has been going through, a momentary relief came in the form of a guy from Mumbai. When he was as young as 17, he stepped into the world of cricket and started his journey as the most successful cricketer ever. The cricketer of the millennium, Sir. Donald George Bradman, had met this young cricketer so many times after his extraordinary performances. Thus, he made sure he meets The Don of Cricketing world habitually by holding on to his class in cricket. Sir Don Bradman had also mentioned that if there could be anyone who is capable of bringing down all his records in cricket, that would be this young boy who he met frequently. Such is the talent of this boy who has been ruling the bat and the ball for more than 18 years now. He is now 36 and he still looks the way he appeared when he first entered the ground. Today, he is the reason behind the smiles and joy millions of people in India. He is now the God of Cricket and I respect him more than anyone else in the business. So, it's appropriate for me to stay away from using this God's name which is my attempt to pay the rightful respect the God deserves. Today, he managed to cross the magic figure of 11,953 and the nation had been waiting for more than two test series for the master batsman to achieve this landmark. It has never been easy for this legend to stay at the crease for a long time because the opponents would always be keener in making him remove his helmet, which he does in the dressing room only after throwing away his wicket, than winning the game. That makes him more precious than the game. But, he is a skillful sculptor who carefully shaped every single innings he played. That makes the job tougher for the opponents. No matter how hard and efficient a bowler is, unless luck saves him, he can't even think of toppling the Little Master's wicket. Today, he has proved his worth yet again by becoming the highest run scorer in test matches, surpassing another legend's record score of 11,953, who is from West Indies. A single blog post is extremely meager to talk about the achievements of a cricketing legend who is set to break almost all the possible records with the bat. But, by not addressing to him on my blog, I would be doing an injustice to the nation and a really talented cricketer who has all the recognition one needs in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-3297251627980910846?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/3297251627980910846/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=3297251627980910846' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3297251627980910846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3297251627980910846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/god-with-bat.html' title='The God with a bat..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPhzbhCvnLI/AAAAAAAAAMU/NWoIGv9_8Nk/s72-c/SachinTendulkar14-full.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7355466199248518221</id><published>2008-10-16T11:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-16T13:08:56.685-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='global warming'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='methane'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='greannhouse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='save'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='caps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='temperature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='green'/><title type='text'>Warming is harming us..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPeaaEgqvmI/AAAAAAAAAMM/OOb-F_k1qVg/s1600-h/2061965-Travel_Picture-EARTH_mother_EARTH.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPeaaEgqvmI/AAAAAAAAAMM/OOb-F_k1qVg/s320/2061965-Travel_Picture-EARTH_mother_EARTH.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257840862656380514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today, the need of the hour is a proper understanding of the causes and effects of 'Global Warming'. My definition of Global warming is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is the process of converting Mother Earth into planet Venus"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us take a look at the effects of global warming so that we can expect a tinge of seriousness in us when we study the causes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you imagine pushing your life on Venus, which is often referred to as the Sister planet of Earth, that has a surface temperature of about 500 degree Celsius?? This is what is exactly happening to our Earth. The Earth's average surface temperature has risen by 2 C` in the past 500 years, which may sound small considering the time it has taken to rise from 13 C` to 15 C`. But, it has a number of hazardous effects on Earth's health. The rising global surface temperature is the main cause for melting of polar ice caps, which house some of the largest glaciers on Earth. This has triggered the increase in the sea levels. If this state continues, we can be sure cities like Chennai and New York will turn into civilized seabed 30 years from now. The problem with Global warming is that it can't be completely controlled because the temperature has already risen and started a chain reaction in the earth's atmosphere as a result of which the amount of Greenhouse gases present in earth's atmosphere is steadily increasing. This means we can expect the temperature to increase at a rate faster than the one at which it has been moving all along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, it's necessary to posses some knowledge about the causes of Global warming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are certain gases in the atmosphere like carbon-di-oxide and methane, which are otherwise known as Greenhouse gases. These gases are capable of allowing the infrared radiations emitted by the sun into the earth's atmosphere but do not allow the radiations reflected back from the Earth's surface out of the atmosphere. With no way out, the absorbed heat starts increasing the temperature of the atmosphere which causes a disturbance in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere. This leads to a thermal imbalance in troposphere that once again excites Greenhouse gases and the whole process takes place again in a cycle, which ends only when Earth's life comes to a hot end. In addition to the amount of Carbon-di-oxide present in the atmosphere, the motor vehicles we use, which run on petroleum products, emit a large volume of the treacherous gas that is enough to take the average surface temperature of the Earth to alarming values. Thus, in order to keep the Earth alive for years to come, switching over to battery-powered vehicles is an option we have in front of us today, though it sounds quite tough. Burning fossil fuels adds massive volumes of Greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. But, without coal, which is one of the fossil fuels, the thermal power plants we have would run out of feedstock. Since even a day without power has now become unimaginable, combustion of fossil fuel is a necessary evil. But, we always have the alternatives in the form of renewable resources like wind energy, hydro energy and solar energy. Thus, our motto to save Earth is "When we can, we should". When we can make use of renewable energy sources, we should make good use of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Mother Earth isn't just a clump of rocks, clay and sand. It's the only place in the vast universe, as far as we know till now, which is highly generous to support our lives. You might find Earth very warm few years from now. Don't think that is because of your realization of Earth's love for you. It would actually be a sign of danger that resulted from all the anti-Earth activities we carried out in the past. It's Global Warming at our doorstep. It's late now. Let us rectify our mistakes before it becomes too late. Responsibility is now in our hands. Save Earth. Save yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-7355466199248518221?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7355466199248518221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=7355466199248518221' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7355466199248518221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7355466199248518221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/warming-is-harming-us.html' title='Warming is harming us..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPeaaEgqvmI/AAAAAAAAAMM/OOb-F_k1qVg/s72-c/2061965-Travel_Picture-EARTH_mother_EARTH.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-290713343448688669</id><published>2008-10-15T06:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-15T13:34:27.321-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brahmins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alwars'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sotta thalayan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reservation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cast'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tamil Nadu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='naayanmaars'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='karunanidhi korangu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sodha payan'/><title type='text'>Questions that return no answer..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I've been busy applying mind on what is happening in the Indian political arena. Since the stage was too big and mind boggling, I jumped out of it and started thinking about the funny political ideologies that are followed in Tamil Nadu not only by the politicians, but also by those related to Film industry. Today, I was watching this news cut on reservation in India for people belonging to minority groups. As usual, I yawned more than twice watching the politicians play the trick on these minority people, who think the Government is really trying hard to restore equality in the society. Tamil Nadu's Chief minister has stated that :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tamil people can't be separated by religions and they will never brook anything to come as a threat to the harmonious environment in Tamil Nadu"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't why politicians release such futile statements which contradict all their actions in the past and the present. My question is, if Tamil Nadu Chief Minister feels religion should not become a factor to divide people, then what is the need for reservation? Even reservation acts as a tool that divides people into several castes, which once again points towards division among the people. If he feels equality is the need of the hour, then why is he so stubborn in his stand to make Tamil Nadu the only state where reservation percentage is as high as 65? Why is he trying to divide the people on the basis of reservation using their castes? Isn't abolition of reservation necessary in order to eradicate partition based on caste? By voicing up for reservation, the Chief Minister is actually confusing the people by not letting them know what he is really trying to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During one of his speeches, he mentioned that Brahmins are traitors who have let down Tamil and are more inclined to Sanskrit. I can understand there is no chance of a man, who was once a barber, knowing more about the ancient literatures scripted in Tamil which sing the praises of Vishnu. I guess this man has no knowledge of Alwars and Nayanmars. The works of twelve Alwars are immense in number and all their works are in Tamil, which can't be completely translated by anyone who has great expertise in Tamil because, the words which are used by these devotees of God are extremely old and most have them have already vanished from usage. Thus, I can come up with strong and undeniable proofs to show the world that Brahmins are actually the only ones who toiled to keep the heartbeat of Tamil flicking and not this guy who Governs Tamil Nadu, though he calls himself 'Kalaignar'. I wonder why he should even be called one. If haircut is an art, I can spend time to think whether he should really be called a 'Kalaignar' for he might be as bad at haircut as he is at politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-290713343448688669?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/290713343448688669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=290713343448688669' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/290713343448688669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/290713343448688669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/questions-that-return-no-answer.html' title='Questions that return no answer..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7837476294187159489</id><published>2008-10-14T21:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-15T12:23:20.840-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='E.V.R'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='atheism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dravidians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='believers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='atheists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tamil Nadu'/><title type='text'>The bearded brute..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_0XidROab6yk/RrJ0MwFoGbI/AAAAAAAABvA/cdOWBg7vBNc/s400/periyar7.jpg%20"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_0XidROab6yk/RrJ0MwFoGbI/AAAAAAAABvA/cdOWBg7vBNc/s400/periyar7.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Have you seen the guy in the picture above anywhere in Tamil Nadu? I bet you wouldn't have because he is dead and so are his philosophies which often sounded as stupid as the picture appears. E.V.Ramasamy is the name of this bearded brute. Opinions differ and that makes me respect the opinions which atheists might hold on to. But, I can't control my temper when I find atheists crossing their limits and trying to attack the sentiments of believers of God. During the period when Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu started gaining strength, this guy, who was also known by the name Periyar, was in such a vigorous flow to attack Hindus and especially Brahmins. He called himself an atheist and went around the state attacking Hindu temples and Hindus verbally. He brought black as a color to oppose believers. But, is he really an atheist like all his dumb followers think till today? The answer is flatly a no! This guy, who behaved like a goon throughout his life, had the grit to attack Hinduism and Hindus. His arrogance took him to the extent of breaking Lord Vinayaka's statue after defaming the lord, who is worshipped by billions around the globe, by placing a pair of slippers right at the top of the idle. This is what would happen if asylums fail to take the retards under their custody. This is the greatest extent to which a religion followed by billions can be insulted. This old man didn't possess the mettle to do the same to other religion because he was yet another politician who wanted to appease those who belong to religions other than Hinduism. Then how can he call himself to be a man of his words? An atheist is totally against the concept of God. He took it on Hinduism because Hindus are soft, tender and harmful and there can be no one more tolerable than a Hindu. The brute took advantage of this fact and played all the dirty games he could. Now, his philosophies have almost gone up with the flames and only a handful of people remember him and his appearance which was not at all attractive even when he was a young chap. A few political parties in Tamil Nadu still make use of his name (definitely not his fame, because he never earned that) to make fools out of people who once believed in God. Forged atheists like this man, who feel others around should follow what they find good, should be weeded out of the society so that people can live and also make their opinions live peacefully. I am not against atheism. As I've mentioned earlier, opinions differ. But, I am against atheists who try to attack a particular religion just for the sake of popularity. If you don't accept with this and if you are a supporter of this man, can you tell me what the reason behind his attacks only on Hindus was? Does that mean he believed in Jesus Christ and Allah? Do you know what name we should use to refer to this man who was an atheist when it came to Hindus and a passive soul when dealing with other religions? What do you call someone who is half a male and half a female? The two names are one and the same. It's E.V.R.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-7837476294187159489?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7837476294187159489/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=7837476294187159489' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7837476294187159489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7837476294187159489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/bearded-brute.html' title='The bearded brute..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_0XidROab6yk/RrJ0MwFoGbI/AAAAAAAABvA/cdOWBg7vBNc/s72-c/periyar7.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7877590220515536432</id><published>2008-10-14T09:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-15T00:13:29.176-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='job cuts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kingfisher'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jet airways'/><title type='text'>The worst Indian air crash ever..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPWVs_AncRI/AAAAAAAAAME/K0GjO3lpouE/s1600-h/kingjet.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 563px; height: 180px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPWVs_AncRI/AAAAAAAAAME/K0GjO3lpouE/s320/kingjet.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257272740085723410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today, the people of India witnessed an unfortunate mishap that has literally sucked the lives out of almost 1000 people who were working for the aviation industry till last night. Two of the leading airliners, Kingfisher and Jet, struck a deal to overcome the heavy economic crisis which started affecting the aviation industry now. The purpose of the deal is to rationalize the air traffic route which these two airliners are enjoying right now. The aviation fuel prices are going up steadily as a result of the duty that has been applied on these fuels and also because of the international oil crisis. The exact plan that has been sketched by these two leaders in the business gives them a relief by merging the services of the two airliners and thus reduces the expenses each of them put across the services they have been rendering so far without giving up on the quality. This has also paved the way for job cuts as a result of which more than 1000 Jet airways employees are at the verge of losing their jobs. Vijay Malya was so shrewd that he made sure no one went against him while going through this deal and all his employees are safe with their jobs. Malya never opted for job cuts on his side and pursued Naresh Goyal of Jet airways to take care of the bitter part of the fable, who was prepared to face the consequences since the company was desperate to catapult its name to the apex very soon. This has resulted in several hundreds of Jet employees, most of who were members of the on-board crew, losing their lives which were aviating to greater altitudes till last night. The worst part of such a carefully planned screw-up deal was that most of these employees who have been fired never knew that they are jobless until they reported for the duties today in the morning. The disheartening fact is that some of the crew members who have been fired were still under the probation period. By striking such a disproportionate deal with Kingfisher, the owner of which had already been made to bite the dust by the poorest performance of the Royal Challengers during the first season of I.P.L T20 cricket matches, Jet has lost the momentum it carried with it while trying hard on its own to fly high!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-7877590220515536432?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7877590220515536432/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=7877590220515536432' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7877590220515536432'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7877590220515536432'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/worst-indian-air-crash-ever.html' title='The worst Indian air crash ever..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPWVs_AncRI/AAAAAAAAAME/K0GjO3lpouE/s72-c/kingjet.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7273126845298011804</id><published>2008-10-14T01:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T10:39:47.200-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='australia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cricket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ponting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='funny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='senseless'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ganguly'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clowns'/><title type='text'>Arrogant Aussies..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPTYRna_ujI/AAAAAAAAAL8/609Y3gkv54Q/s1600-h/shanth.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 509px; height: 290px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPTYRna_ujI/AAAAAAAAAL8/609Y3gkv54Q/s320/shanth.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257064462199798322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: georgia;"&gt;Unfortunately, the first test between India and Australia ended in a draw. As an ardent Indian cricket lover, I expected the match to go India's way after the great recovery produced by Zaheer and Bajji, who had been burdened with the extra responsibility to prove their worth with the bat. Zaheer stole the show from the Australians who seemed venomous and strong but proved that they are a bunch of 11 clowns who lost their course after the Turbanator and Zaheer took charge of the bat. When top order batsmen like Sachin and Laxman couldn't hold on to their crease for long, these two boys who are on the side just to take care of the bowling department did more than what was actually expected from them and proved the world Australians aren't as hard as they used to describe themselves. Had Bajji not been affected by the first degree cramp on his left leg, he would have stayed for a much longer time at the crease and would have even made efforts to reach his first test match century. To avoid making him feel lonely, Zaheer would have jumped in the party to put up another 3 figure individual score on the scorecard. Australian bowling lacked the vigor that was found in it when bowlers like McGrath occupied a spot in the team. Also, the side lacked basic courtesy and respect for the game and the opponent players as well. Even after ICC warned players to stay away from on-field sledging, Shane Watson tried to play dirty tricks on Zaheer who was in a great touch with his bat. Watson was totally unlucky because all his efforts went up with the flames and Zaheer moved steadily towards a half century. Australians were totally lost and Ponting would have started weeping right in front of the Bengaluru crowd for being such an ineffective captain and failing to capitalize on the initial breakthroughs in the form of Sachin's and Laxman's wickets. His frustration burst out at the end of the game and he took it on Zaheer for a general press statement released by the latter. Now, the entire Australian nation is frustrated by the way Indians stole the limelight and the Australian media found this as a better one than a good reason to drag the Indian team over the coal. The media came up with whatever issue was available which can rightly be defined by few words like senseless, stupid, absurd, insane and everything more close to these. Allegations are totally against Dada, who, according to Australian media, forced the umpires to consider stopping the play temporarily due to bad light. I never knew Australian media are so stupid and I thought Indian version is the worst in the world. A batsman can request the umpires to consider dropping the play for few minutes in case the quality of light becomes too low. They proceed by saying that Ganguly took 5 minutes to enter the field back again after all the Australian team members came out to the field. Hey, what were the Australians doing the whole day? Were they waiting for these 5 minutes to bag the 6 wickets that were left at that time? 6 wickets in 5 minutes? Are they trying to tell us Australians made it a part of a big plan to make a world record by capturing 6 wickets in 5 minutes after giving up all the time they were left with on that day? This forces me to conclude with only one statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;'We've been watching our Indian players play against a team of 11 jesters for the past 5 days who were trained by a master jester in the name of a coach'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-7273126845298011804?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7273126845298011804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=7273126845298011804' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7273126845298011804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7273126845298011804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/arrogant-aussies.html' title='Arrogant Aussies..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPTYRna_ujI/AAAAAAAAAL8/609Y3gkv54Q/s72-c/shanth.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-6966946973278811394</id><published>2008-10-13T21:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T07:10:16.148-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='traffic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='backlinks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='google'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pagerank'/><title type='text'>The mutual development..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today, there are millions of bloggers out there and everyone wants the world to see their blogs. Thus, popularity is what all the bloggers expect today. In one of my previous posts, I've discussed about the best way to increase your traffic at no cost. That is the technique which involves the effective use of Cbox. I couldn't find a better way to reciprocate visits. If you are able to visit 50 different blogs a day, you are sure to get back at least 4o visitors to your blog on the same day because all the active bloggers will be so much addicted to their blogs that they stay online for almost 8 hours on their blog to check whether they have received any new visitor. If they find a new visitor as expected, they will be extremely delighted to give you back a visit which means your visitors as well as you are mutually building your respective blogs. This way, each blogger can support each other and pave the way for development of the blogs and this ensures the quality of the blogs reach higher standards. I found a hidden gift in Cbox technique. It's the way you can use the widget to boost your Pagerank. Cbox is now the tool which takes you to millions of blogs which some of the best bloggers in the world are working on. This means you get a chance to step on blogs that have good pageranks. When you understand the tactics to pursue the bloggers to add your blog link to their blog, the possibility of your blog's pagerank going up is very high. But, it is quite tough to make your link appear on quality blogs initially because adding a blog with pagerank lower than the blog in which the link is to be added would have a negative effect on the blog next time when Google runs pagerank update. If you are a beginner and if you are lucky enough to push your blog link into one of those blogs out there with high pageranks, you can count on your blog to get you more visitors soon who would wish to exchange links with you in the future. So, always make sure you exchange links with either blogs having pageranks same as yours or blogs with higher pageranks. That is the secret to keep your blog running for years to come!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-6966946973278811394?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/6966946973278811394/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=6966946973278811394' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/6966946973278811394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/6966946973278811394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/mutual-development.html' title='The mutual development..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-96131295120942899</id><published>2008-10-13T15:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T02:53:04.034-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hinduism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='central government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hindus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='atheist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ram sethu'/><title type='text'>Sentiments tested..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPRq9qlLC1I/AAAAAAAAAL0/fOFsMLEJmuM/s1600-h/300px-Adams_Bridge_aerial.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPRq9qlLC1I/AAAAAAAAAL0/fOFsMLEJmuM/s320/300px-Adams_Bridge_aerial.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256944272682978130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Being a hardcore, non-violent and a follower of Hinduism who knows how to respect people belonging to other religions, I was plainly furious over the statement released by the senseless Indian Government which doesn't know the real meaning of secularism and continues to hurt the sentiments of millions of Hindus around the globe. Lately, the issue over the Ram Sethu has gained some disturbing noises in the country from different political parties that are in the race for winning petty minority votes. In an attempt to appease Muslim and Christian minorities, the Central Government has taken a wrong turn today. The Congressmen, who are solely responsible for the crumbling image of India in front of the world nations, try to project themselves as a secular Government and go around calling this country a secular nation. But, do you know what the reality is? This country is no more secular and it has become a place to live only for all those who don't belong to Hinduism, which was once not only a religion but a tool that helped the culture in 'Bharath', as India was known this way before things started turning bad, rise to a great height by producing two of the Greatest Epics of all time, Ramayana and Mahabharatha. Kamban, who scripted Ramayana and made the epic available for us in Tamil today, used this phrase from Ramayana :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Vaanarangal padai soozha kattiyem kottai, ippaalamen kaalam kooru;&lt;br /&gt;Ummodu empadai thazhaya, ivvodu nee avvalai seru"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These were the words which Hindus believe were spoken by Lord Hanuman immediately after the bridge, which is now known as Ram Sethu, was constructed. If the center can neither read Tamil nor Sanskrit, they should have tried to approach someone who knows about these things better than those goons in the Central Government. Without giving the hindus any chance to prove the truth, Center has released a statement that would hurt any Hindu alive today. The statement is :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ram Sethu has got no link to Hinduism in any way"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Center won't believe that Ram Sethu has everything related to Hinduism even if Hanuman appears in front of them and gives them an oral report about the bridge because, its a congress Government and this is India and they are politicians and truth has no value compared to minority votes in this country! Did any Hindu tell the Center Government that the bridge has no relevance to the religion? When it is considered sacred by a large number of people, why can't the center just throw away the issue? What is the need for such a passage between India and Sri Lanka? Won't that become an easy inlet into India for Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers? Is Central Government trying to strike a balance between the North and South India by letting the number of terror activities increase in the South to match the North? To add to the list, the atheistic Government in Tamil Nadu, who are atheists only to Hindus, support the project and that is not a big surprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One should understand that Hindusim doesn't own this country.&lt;br /&gt;It's Hinduism which is the only thing this country owns!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betrayal of something this country owns has already had some serious consequences on the country's state in the past. Future is quite gloomy. Only Ram can save us from here!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-96131295120942899?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/96131295120942899/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=96131295120942899' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/96131295120942899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/96131295120942899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/sentiments-tested.html' title='Sentiments tested..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPRq9qlLC1I/AAAAAAAAAL0/fOFsMLEJmuM/s72-c/300px-Adams_Bridge_aerial.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-3342560414453094032</id><published>2008-10-13T10:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-13T22:02:09.667-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='railways'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sonia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandhi jayanthi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rai Bareli'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Uttar Pradesh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='industry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mayawati'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='coach'/><title type='text'>Maya messes up with Rai Bareli..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPQnrsXT2yI/AAAAAAAAALs/8MgV8mKIE-o/s1600-h/soya.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 424px; height: 269px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPQnrsXT2yI/AAAAAAAAALs/8MgV8mKIE-o/s320/soya.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256870296644999970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is a part of Uttar Pradesh which is one of the states in India where literacy rate, and hence, the employment rate is quite low compared to states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The central Government sketched a plan for the well-being of the state and came up with an idea to setup a railway coach factory at Rai Bareli. Initial steps were taken at a fast rate including the massive land allotment by the state government. Miss.Mayawati, Chief Minister of U.P, made sure nothing on her part appeared against the interest of the state and never let her misunderstandings with the Congress at the center rise up in front of the people. But, she always had something that made her uncomfortable while trying to go hand in hand with the Congress within her. She was not psychologically ready for a tie up with the Congress. But, she can't come out with such a fact at a time when people of her state are celebrating her as their savior and protector of the rights of minorities and especially when a large section of the people feel the railway coach factory would add more benefits to the state's industrial development and economic growth. When a privatized Nano could be seen as an economic booster, why can't a Government operated railway coach factory serve as a launch pad for an economic boom in the state? The deal was almost closed with the Central government all set to bring in the machineries into the state to start with the construction works. This was when Mayawati started to stand strong against the whole picture and now she protest against the construction of a factory in the state, which she says would make hundreds of farmers jobless since their lands would be acquired by the Government for placing the ancillary plants which are required for making a complete railway coach factory. I can't find a reason as to why Mayawati didn't think of such a reason before she transferred the land and I wonder where were these groups of farmers at the time of transfer. This puts Congress at one end of a rope and Mayawati at the other. Congress has now approached the Supreme Court to make the land transfer valid. This is where the tug of war begins. We need patience to see all the funny developments that will take root from here as the causes of Sonia-Maya effect, which can otherwise be called the 'Soya' effect. Now, the issue has turned into an ugly political game between the Congress and Mayawati who has lately started concentrating more on minority vote banks than the state's interest and development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-3342560414453094032?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/3342560414453094032/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=3342560414453094032' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3342560414453094032'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/3342560414453094032'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/maya-messes-up-with-rai-bareli.html' title='Maya messes up with Rai Bareli..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPQnrsXT2yI/AAAAAAAAALs/8MgV8mKIE-o/s72-c/soya.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-7878030647533351970</id><published>2008-10-11T14:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-13T14:59:52.905-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='negligence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='municipality'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sonu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='military'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='army'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='graveyard'/><title type='text'>Bore well or a graveyard?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: georgia;"&gt;Today, a tragic incident caught the nation's attention. Sadly, a 2 year old boy died after he tumbled into a 150 feet deep bore well, which was under construction by the corporation near Agra. The corporation, during the course of digging a bore well, made sure it serves as a burial ground for this 2 year old innocent child who never even understood what life really is. The happy couple was having a chat within the house while their son was playing outside. Unfortunately, the devil's mouth in the form of the bore well invited Sonu, who never knew he was just 100 hours away from death. After finding his uncertain path through the well, Sonu hit the bottom and fortunately survived the blow. Everyone in the neighborhood started searching for Sonu and finally the well came to their minds and that was when they decided to go for the army men's assistance to bring the child out of the well alive. The military arrived at the spot as early as possible and used all the heavy metal machineries to rescue Sonu without a scratch. But, they had a problem with the mud which was too slippery and lose. Hence, heavy machines were taken away from the area. Now, they were to go into the operation manually which took longer time before they brought out Sonu's dead body out of the well. Hundreds of army men were involved in the operation and they feel that this is one of the major rescue operations they had been involved in. Unfortunately, it ended in a sad note. The army toiled really hard to rescue the child safely from the depth at which the oxygen content was extremely low. Had Sonu been alive, this would have been the happiest and proudest moment for the army people. But, Sonu's fate in the darkest depth of the well stole this precious moment from the army and ultimately brought his life to a tragic end. May Sonu's soul rest in peace!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-7878030647533351970?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7878030647533351970/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=7878030647533351970' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7878030647533351970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/7878030647533351970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/bore-well-or-graveyard.html' title='Bore well or a graveyard?'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-8836875046764205741</id><published>2008-10-10T22:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-12T12:20:14.780-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Big-B'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amitabh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='media'/><title type='text'>Is Big-B really a big deal now?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPJNp7zGXjI/AAAAAAAAALk/kkWPKR-12hc/s1600-h/AMITABHBACHCHAN6P.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPJNp7zGXjI/AAAAAAAAALk/kkWPKR-12hc/s320/AMITABHBACHCHAN6P.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256349097916784178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The N-Deal between U.S and India has finally reached the final phase after crossing several hurdles in India and U.S as well. The SENSEX continues to drop heavily and banks are big losers in the country, metal industries being the next in line. India's relationship with Pakistan is deteriorating by every passing day. New group of militants have started making attempts to break the border security across the Indo-Bangladesh border. Indian, who captained a ship that sailed along the coast of Somalia, has been held as one of the hostages by the Somalian pirates for a heavy ransom. Reserve Bank of India has drafted a plan according to which Rs.60,000 crores would be pumped into the system to save the economy from a great fall face first. I would have been happy if the news channels spared a few minutes of their slots for these news. But, they failed to do what they are supposed to be doing being a powerful tool. I bet you won't believe if I tell you what was actually the news the media was covering. Big-B hospitalized after he reported acute stomach pain. Wow! I really wonder whether Big-B's stomach pain has got anything to do with the nation's economic crisis. There are several important national issues to discuss about. Indian news channels have become a promotional platform for Bollywood movies and Bollywood stars and thus, it has become easy even for stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, the so called Big-B and other kids to reach the apex of popularity. Indian news channels, especially Times Now, have lost their dignity and pride. They have nothing left to lose and they have become totally unreliable and most of the times, they are found to mislead people by spreading false information or in other words, rumors. It's very important for media to prioritize the news they get and the national news should always take the first place. I don't think Big-B's stomach pain is a national news. Even if it's something our Honorable Prime Minister suffered, it can't become one by any chance. Blowing up even the smallest information and projecting it as something really important has become the job of Indian English news channels. The duty of media in any country is to connect the world to the masses. But, in India, media has completely gone out of the course and it is toiling to connect rumors to the people of India!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-8836875046764205741?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8836875046764205741/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=8836875046764205741' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8836875046764205741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8836875046764205741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/is-big-b-really-big-deal-now.html' title='Is Big-B really a big deal now?'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPJNp7zGXjI/AAAAAAAAALk/kkWPKR-12hc/s72-c/AMITABHBACHCHAN6P.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085712098105374909.post-8543282108349714262</id><published>2008-10-10T21:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-12T23:38:58.212-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cricket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaheer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bajji'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='australia sledging'/><title type='text'>Debacle and stabilization..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPD_xu-tZsI/AAAAAAAAALc/a5o4ownJIwk/s1600-h/Captain+kumble.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPD_xu-tZsI/AAAAAAAAALc/a5o4ownJIwk/s320/Captain+kumble.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255981995031094978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: georgia;"&gt;The Australian tour of India kicked of couple of days back with the first test. Australians started their campaign by placing Hayden on the front line. But, Kangaroos slipped off the course with Hayden throwing away his wicket to Zaheer Khan in the very first over of the innings. Ponting claims that Hayden never managed to make a contact between the ball and his bat which sounded absurd after watching the replay several times. This wasn't the first time Australians were found getting their hands on dirty tricks to psychologically strengthen themselves. This seemed to work at the beginning of every series Australians play. But, at the end of the series, Ponting will be found biting his nails during presentation ceremony when the trophy will be handed over to the opponents. History repeats itself and I strongly feel history repeats itself in this series again. Indians always used to be the jittery during the first match of the series. After that, they manage to pull up their socks and put up great fight backs that would almost make the opponents, especially Australia, feel they are nothing more than minnows to India. Australians in the past had faced so many such shameful defeats in the hands of Indians and still they brag they are the best in the world with no one behind them to treat them that way. This is called the Australian attitude that has been prevailing in the Australian dressing room for more than 4 decades now. The so called mighty Australians piled up a total of 429 on day 2 at a run rate slower than any other established team would have managed to come up with and started to greet the Indian batsmen by making them take most of the deliveries across the rope. Ponting was clueless since the openers took the score to 68 in no time and that was when luck came Ponting's way. India lost the first wicket. After that, wickets were lost at regular intervals and Australians were found rejoicing even for removing batsmen like Sachin and Laxman who are completely out of form. This reflected Australians' desperation after toiling hard under the hot sun to remove the batsmen from the cards. When Ponting was about to have a sigh of relief, the bolt from the blue came in the form of Bajji and Zaheer, who pulled up a partnership of 78 out of the bag. I saw Ponting sweating out all his efforts to remove them but everything went down the drain. Bajji was found walking down the pitch at few occasions and take Lee and Watson to the task. Finally, Australians started sledging and Haddin set on the Australian tradition of negative sledging by making an attemp to annoy Zaheer who was never seemed to be kept down by the Australian bowlers. The bowlers were treated like small boys who play at Marina early in the morning. At the end of day 3, India lost 8 wickets for 313. Kumble and Zaheer are at the cross. I am eagerly waiting for day 4 since I want to see Zaheer irritate the bowlers by positive sledging , unlike Australians,which is legal according to ICC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3085712098105374909-8543282108349714262?l=cocktailcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8543282108349714262/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3085712098105374909&amp;postID=8543282108349714262' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8543282108349714262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3085712098105374909/posts/default/8543282108349714262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cocktailcenter.blogspot.com/2008/10/debackle-and-stabilization.html' title='Debacle and stabilization..'/><author><name>Brand H</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08460943943131888854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SMagrjGF7_I/AAAAAAAAAI8/PumPLHPSq0w/S220/kff+(6).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YvkfMI0OuAA/SPD_xu-tZsI/AAAAAAAAALc/a5o4ownJIwk/s72-c/Captain+kumble.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
