I was googling for few foreign language movies with search titles 'Best French movies', 'Good German movies' I was getting few titles and reading reviews regarding those movies.
Then with curiosity I tried what google would return for best tamil movies and sure it didnt disappoint me the 1st link I got was a WIKI link where I could not only find the best movies but all the movies taken from 1930's. No wonder Indian film industry produces more films than any other in the world every year.

Book I read..
Last week I read a book titled True stories from India s BPO and call centers, which is a collection of incidents happened in that industry over the past few years. Even though IT revolutionised India during late nineties ,it was the BPO industry which created job opportunities in plenty at every levels from graduates,English speaking trainers,cab drivers,caterers,security guards etc .
Book deals about incidents happened during the wee work hours , office politics, wild parties, well networked cabbie drivers. Each one is different from other which makes it little interesting. I have linked a sample story here. All in all it was a good time pass.

Bad experiences with mobile phones
When it comes to mobiles I never kept one properly for more than a year and always its the mobile which starts to behave erratically after sometime. First was my nokia mobile which on one fine day started blinking like a flash light and nothing came on the display, I spent few bucks on formatting it but the same problem occurred again and again. This pain ended when my friends threw me along with the mobile in the beach and the mobile succumbed to drowning in sea water. Then I got a Motorola KZR which was working fine until one day no sound came from it.When taken to service center they said there is no problem with the speaker but the mother board got corrupted.Since it was under warranty I got it replaced for free but it was giving problems then and there mainly by not ringing when it matters the most. This mobile also faced a similar fate when it got drenched in the rain while I was frantically calling my dad to let him know that his new car has been smashed up by a big tree.
Finally I got a Sony ericsson w series mobile last year, it was a cool companion during my bus rides to office,used to hear songs all the way. It too had performance issues by shutting itself down when we try to multitask it, for eg.
a)when you are playing a game or listening to songs when a call comes asking for you need a credit card .
b)When you are trying to take a picture and suddenly an sms comes asking you whether need to latest information on cricket scores.
c)When it desperately tries to search for signal and we ask it do a different operation say want to see the time.
d)Whenever it works properly for more than a week ,signaling me it needs a break.
Today I dont know what I did to it suddenly it got switched off ,alas its never turning on again. Its early to decide what to do next ,getting a new mobile is still an option which I m sure will lead to a vicious circle.

Quote-For a successful democracy!!!
In the 21st century, capable, reliable and transparent institutions are the key to success — strong parliaments and honest police forces; independent judges and journalists; a vibrant private sector and civil society. Those are the things that give life to democracy, because that is what matters in peoples' lives.

~~On screen keyboard~~
I got this forward sometime back
An On-Screen Keyboard in Windows.
In case your keyboard or some keys stop working, Microsoft provides you with an alternative way to type-in using the mouse. To work this tool, Go to: 'Start menu' Select: 'Run' Type in: 'OSK' Press: 'OK' A keyboard will be displayed on your monitor which you can use with your mouse. TRY IT YOURSELF
I never thought this forward will have a practical use and show me off as if i have done something great,last week one of my team mates called me to her desk with a tensed face mentioning her keyboard started printing few funny characters when keyed in.When I keyed in few numbers instead of numbers there were few special characters typed on the screen. Then the forward I read flashed in my mind I typed OSK in run prompt. Keyboard popped in the screen and instead of numbers it was replaced with french alphabets,my teammate has mistakenly enabled french keyboard and didnt know how to disable it. It took few minutes to change back to the original keyboard layout. When it was done she said "Sriram you are a Genius" ( God save the real genius :) )

The movie I saw..
Today my cousin came to meet me after lunch since we didn't know how to kill time we ended up watching a movie. It was movie directed by Denzel Washington based on true events happened during 1930's.
Tolson,a professor trains a all black debate team which slowly but steadily beats all the other team and finally challenges the Harvard school who were the defending champions.A truly inspiring movie with wonderful acting and perfect dialogues.
