Kichamani MBA 2007-09-22 01:18:19 Yesterday i watched this movie from Ajantha Theatre, Trivandrum. Unlike other suresh gopi movies, he has been introduced as a cool guy and any kind of killer weapons are not used by the actor through out the film. In this case the movie is an innovative one.
The theme of this movie is how a person fights against corruption using corruption itself. But how this is being done is not being depicted in the movie and the movie is losing its rhythm some where in due course. The movie has got a sequence of fight scenes, some of them are boring.
The story of this movie seems to be usual bollywood theme i couldn’t find any thing new or innovative. This is quite evident by the number of people in the theatre. I think there were hardly sixty of seventy people in the theatre. Of course, Suresh Gopi fans will definitly love this movie. In my opinion, very sorry to say that the movie is a below average entertainer.

Arabikatha is a movie about a strong believer in communism and a socialist thinker who reaches dubai in search of a job. The main character in this movie is Mukundan, being played by veteran and multi-talented malayalam actor sreenivasan. Mukundan is being misleaded by his communist collegues for their individual interests.
The movie tells the story in such a way that it depicts the feelings and emotions of a communist believer, who had to cope up with the new trends and issues in the fast changing and developed world. The movies also shows the agony of Gulf Malayalees who strives hard in gulf region to make a life for them and their family out there in Kerala. In my opinion it’s a must see film for gulf malayalees and their families.

An October Second - Ghandhi Jayanthi Day 2007-10-02 12:36:31 October second, Birthday of Ghandhiji(father of our nation) has been celebrated widely all over india. I think Ghandiji’s way of thinking and life, who stood for universal peace and harmony and propagated non-violence is very much relevant in today’s scenario.
Even though it was public holiday, i had to go to my office as there was some important work pending. While i was in the office, Mrs Sindhu Ajith, who is working with Infosys, Trivandrum has contacted me regarding a new project based on Java and Structs. As i was not well versed in Java - Structs technology, i replied that i will contact some other person for doing this project. Another call has come from Benny Pampackal, who is the director of Malayali Sangamam, a malayalam newspaper published from chicago. The call was regarding the advertising rates in one of the website www.keralaatbest.com which is owned by him.

I love my Earth - Blog Action Day 2007-10-16 03:16:30 Today bloggers around world are discussing about environment and earth in which we live in. Every nation around the world is concerned about and affected by global warming. Mis utilization and over utilization of the resources of earth has lead to global warming. In recent decades the world has witnessed massive industrialisation and developmental efforts without caring for nature and hurting mother nature to the maximum, which has ended up in global warming. Truly Mother Nature has Exhausted.
Recently there were some international discussion has been held to take measures to control global warming. I think those measures are still in the papers and no action has been taken with regard to that. There should be a collective effort of people from every stream of life irrespective of rich or poor, black or white to fight against global warming. As a nature lover i belive that we can make this world a better place to live.

Me at St Joseph’s Cathedral Palayam 2007-10-16 01:33:10 My first impression about the church is that it is truly a calm and quiet place within the city. This church is one of the oldest and the most popular church in trivandrum city commonly known as palayam pally in malayalam. I have been there several times with my wife. Just like all the christian churches in trivandrum this church also welcomes persons from all walks of life irrespective of caste, creed or religion. After praying in the church usually my mind gets calm down and will get a feeling that someone is there looking after me and my family.
Two weeks before i had gone there to give a neriyathu (a kerala style saree) to be placed infront of the Mother Mary’s Idol. The cloth was given as a sort of thanks giving from my wife. Yesterday when i reached the church and asked regarding the same to a church official he told me that it has been placed in the church for 4 days and given it to a poor family in the city.

Simple Way to Evaluate Website Performance 2007-11-09 11:31:21 Setting up a website is the first step of an Internet marketing campaign, and the success or failure of your website greatly depends on how specifically you have defined your website goals. If you are not sure on what your site should accomplish, it will most likely fail to accomplish anything. Without website goals to guide you in developing and monitoring your website, all your site will be an online announcement that you are in business. I have seen many websites which are mere online announcements. The webmasters of these website usually renew the domains every year, that is the only attachment of that person with that website.
If you expect something out of your website or to stimulate some form of action, whether it is visitors filling out a form so the fellow representatives or you personally can contact them, or purchasing a product, there are steps you can take to insure that your website is performing at its optimum efficiency.
