தான்நோக்கி மெல்ல நகும்
நான் பார்க்கும்போது குனிந்து நிலத்தைப் பார்ப்பதும், நான் பார்க்காத போது என்னைப் பார்த்துத் தனக்குள் மகிழ்ந்து புன்னகை புரிவதும் என் மீது கொண்டுள்ள காதலை அறிவிக்கும் குறிப்பல்லவா?.மு.வ உரை:
யான் நோக்கும் போது அவள் நிலத்தை நோக்குவாள், யான் நோக்காத போது அவள் என்னை நோக்கி மெல்லத் தனக்குள் மகிழ்வாள்.சாலமன் பாப்பையா உரை:
நான் அவளை பார்க்கும்போது தலைகுனிந்து நிலத்தைப் பார்ப்பாள், நான் பார்க்காதபோதோ என்னைப் பார்த்து மெல்ல தனக்குள்ளே சிரிப்பாள்.Translation:
I look on her: her eyes are on the ground the while:Explanation:
I look away: she looks on me with timid smile.
When I look, she looks down; when I do not, she looks and smiles gently.

Cute Expressions
Posted On Monday, February 08, 2010 at at 9:00 AM by LokeshVery cute expression. Not sure how the idea spawns & how do they articulate their (ad directors) thoughts to young kids. More importantly kids are getting smarter!!!
The girl that says "மிச்சமான மூணு ரூபால Ice Cream சாப்டேன்" reminds me of my friend
Songsmith
Posted On Sunday, October 04, 2009 at at 9:42 AM by LokeshI recently happened to see Songsmith in my MSDN subscription. It is a musical accompaniment tool which adds background music allowing users to record, add music of different genre and vary tempo accordingly. I have never tried singing after 8th Std so I safely ripped VoiceOnly tracks (5.1 AC3) from Thalai's movies. Then I used an end to end stereo pin to loop back the audio to microphone. (Yes. Songsmith picks up / processes only the recorded tracks) I tried various genre and tempo.
Ruby on Rails
Posted On Sunday, September 13, 2009 at at 12:52 AM by LokeshI realized that RoR is ideal for projects that don't have computation heavy / memory intensive operations in backend. Or even, we can build such backend systems in other languages that are cpu & memory efficient and have frontend built with RoR. We shouldn't be expecting RoR to do that.
I am not undermining RoR but I think we should contemplate on nature of the system that we will be building.

Valparai is Heaven
Posted On at at 5:24 AM by LokeshValparai is a heavenly place situated 90 km from Coimbatore in Western ghats. It is a picturesque landscape with scenic beauty. Key places of interests are:
- Top Slip (national park)
- Anamalai Wildlife sanctuary
- Aliyar Dam
- Monkey Falls
- Sholayar Dam
- View Points
- Balaji Temple
- Athirapally Falls
and You could see grass hills, private tea estates and amiable people all over.
We (a team of 4) started our journey from Chennai on a Friday evening. We took Blue Mountain Express and reached Coimbatore early morning. We hired a cab and headed to Pollachi enjoying the chilly weather and clicking the adorable dawn. We went to the hotel and refreshed ourselves.
We started off the day visiting Aliyar Dam and then spent few hours rejuvenating under the ice cold waterfall.One noteworthy fact about Valaparai is that it is not as overcrowded as Ooty is. We went to Sholayar Dam but were not permitted to get inside. Recos will really help here. It was already 2 PM so we huddled to decide visiting Athirapally (local crew call it "punagai mannan" falls). And the interesting thing is you should either stay at hills or get down before 3 PM as it fogs after that making driving a tedious task. Due to lack of planning and time constraint, we ended spending another one hour or two in private tea estates and in Balaji temple aborting Athirapally plans.
We didn't realize that we were mercilessly attacked by leeches in Tea estates until that night :) We were virtually donating blood in the Tea estate :). I inquired my friend who visits this place frequently and he then shared the fact that we need special boots to prevent leech bites. The tea estate employees drape themselves with sacks to prevent leech bites. The attention-grabbing information is that leech when gets onto our body spreads an anti-coagulant serum to prevent blood clotting and injects its own anesthetic to make bites painless. The leech gorges itself until it has had its fill. Looks like leech is making use of its 32 brains more efficiently than I do. We climbed down clicking shots in the view points and reached hotel in Pollachi.
The next day, we checked out of hotel and went to top slip queuing up ourselves for an elephant ride. The cottages on top slips are awesome. We were told that we can sight bisons, elephants and tigers from cottages. How fascinating would it be to stay in a forest @ night! I think the next time I visit this place I should stay at these cottages than at hotels in Pollachi / Valparai. We waited there for two hours and we were picturing the lustrous green grass land. We thought of getting into Anamalai sanctuary but we were not permitted to travel in TN registered vehicle :( We returned to Coimbatore and attended friend's marriage.
It was a wonderful, calm, peaceful weekend and a lustrous green feast to eyes. For people who appreciate solitude and admire nature, this place is a "must see" in lifetime. You will register calm and peaceful days in your life for sure visiting Valparai. I wish I visit this heavenly place sometime soon!!!
