Not again in Mumbai!

Mumbai being attacked one more time!
Wednesday night I was browsing way past midnight when saw flash news gun fire sound heard near Taj I slept off thinking its some gang war. Morning my collegue woke me up with message to put on the TV,slowly I realized the magnitude of the incident.Atleast some 50 people would have been involved directly or indirectly for this incident.Its disturbing to know there are huge number of people whose main goal in their life is to destroy peace and harmony of our country.
Terrorism is one of major menance India is facing. We lack in mobilisation,security,manpower,technology etc to prevent such attacks.So what we can do to prevent such attacks? I think if we improve our intelligence cell we can atleast prevent attacks.We learn from our mistakes but this one is a blunder. Hope we pray nothing like this happens again!

When I messed ATM card(s)!

Today afternoon I was short of money ,so I decided to goto nearby ATM to fetch some. When i made a transaction I got a message the PIN I entered is invalid ,it happens sometimes so I carefully tried giving pin second time but I got the same message again.I was wondering I never changed my pin and why my card was behaving crazily.
Evening I thought I would give a last try and went to a local ATM near our house and tried a transaction and got a message the card was blocked.
I came home wondering what went wrong,my roomie said we can goto the bank s website and get the PIN reset ,I logged into the website and requested for PIN change and they said it will take a week s time to proces and PIN will be delivered to home.
Then I forgot about the incident and started my evening relaxation.
While preparing dinner I suddenly remembered my roomie giving his ATM card to me during the weekend. Everything became clear to me ,what I have done -used his ATM card (since we use same bank s card i didnt notice the name on the card) and entered my PIN and succesfully blocked his card.Also I requested a PIN change for my card which was not necessary and my card is also inactive until I get the pin. All in all in one day I messed two cards :)

My trip to naval base

Indian Navy was in news last week when our INS tabar successfully sank the pirates mother ship near the gulf of Aden.This weekend naval base in Cochin was open to public and I thought it would be informative to check whats happening there.

Started early morning from my house along with my friends Ashok and Prem ,I like the naval campus its clean calm and wonderful.All naval officers wearing those white uniforms walking around with pride on their face.
There was a naval exhibition where they were explanining all the instruments used in navy ranging from radar,diving equipments,missiles,anchors,signal systems etc. Most of it sounded greek and latin but assured the country has the latest technology.
We were allowed to enter into the war ships ,this was my first time to entering into a warship and it really felt good to be in there.There were around 4 ships which were open to public.India has a sail ship called as INS Tarangi one unique kind in the world.Other ships like INS krishna,tir,veera were also on display.

I salute the people working in navy who sacrifice their life to safeguard our country!

My joy in Laziness

Last weekend I saw a book titled 'Joy of Laziness'. Titles like this attract me a lot, so grabbed the book instantly. Started reading the book went around 40 pages then lost patience or got lazy to read up further.



One good thing I liked in the book is approving of whatever I do everyday. Sleep well ,get up late,eat well,do little exercise,dont work too hard.I felt my mum should have read this before my upbringing.All in all book say being lazy keeps healthy and wise!!
I have started to get lazier day by day :)

My weekend movie!

Its been a long time I have updated my blog,thought I would update with something I did today ,what else I saw a movie :)

Today morning I saw Varanam Ayiram. Different feelings went through my mind while seeing the movie,emotional nostalgic,romantic etc .Movie was well scripted, good one taken in tamil cinema after a long time. My friends said it was pretty long but I never felt it.Kudoos to Surya it was an all round performance from him. Music and photography was icing on the top for the movie.I would recommend it for anyone who wants to see a good movie.
