Flop song…

again- I received it as an email, I am just sharing it by some minute corrections.

Twinkle Twinklu Liddle Star

Ah.. I heard enough of Kolaveri song for now.. the Metallic, Carnatic and the Original. Then went with the Dances by Tamil Guys and Japanese Gals. Now I saw this one. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, sung my a "little grown-up" girl. I found it shared by my friend on Facebook, but I wanted it to be on my Blog, keeping the Rights to its owners. Have a look at this wonderful Little star, Twinkling the Twinkle Twinkle little star in various accents. I am sure that you would enjoy this. However, this is not to hurt anyone's accent, may it be an Indian or any other Country citizens. This is purely for entertainment.

How many of us sing this in our own way. A nursery rhyme that can entertain us.

Classic-al Kolaveri. - Why this Kolaveri in Carnatic

This morning I was thinking of Sri Shankaraabharanam. I saw the movie a long time ago and remember the artist (I prefer to say Sankara Sastry here)  was a Classical master and once he was disturbed by so called modern BoYs, who were practising their Western Music, and irritated by their action,  Sankara Sastry comes out and shows them the power of Carnatic music in gentle manner. Now, I still didn't understand Why this Kolaveri di? not just we - even Carnatic didn't have a choice by the singers here. Listen to Why this Kolaveri in Carnatic Style here.

flop song

This is the most hit "flop song" by Dhanush.

Why this Kolaveri di (English: Why this murderous rage, girl?) is a song from the upcoming Tamil movie 3, due to be released in 2012. The song is penned and sung by popular Tamil movie star Dhanush. A promo of this song was released on Youtube on 16th November 2011, and it instantly became viral on social networking sites for its quirky "Tanglish" (Tamil–English) lyrics. On this particular video sharing site, the song has become the most searching video. There was a rough video released with this single, which has become a big rage with the netizens.The promo features the actor-playback singer Dhanush singing the song in a studio, and composer Anirudh at the piano, while wifeAishwarya Rajinikanth and co-star Shruti Hassan watch along and give suggestions. As Dhanush says, it’s a song fit for bathroom singers. Its simple beats make it more catchy. Dhanush’s description of heartbreak through Kolaveri Di is extremely funny. Heartbreak is a phenomenon almost everyone can relate to, this has further fueled the popularity of Kolaveri Di. This song was initially leaked to the internet, and the makers, having noticed its popularity, decided to go for an official release.

The term Kolaveri appeared as the number one Indian trend on Twitter on the evening of 21.11.2011.

I liked this song. would like to sing to specially someone, but as I am not a good singer, I have posted the Video from Youtube and here is the link for the video converted mp3:  Why This Kolaveri Di

India: Last of the tigers - 101 East

Conservationists are in a desperate and uphill battle to save India's tigers from extinction.

A century ago, 45,000 tigers lived wild in India’s forests. When hunting was banned in 1972, their numbers had fallen to 2,000. Today, the Indian government claims that there are 1,706, but few experts believe it, saying perhaps only 1,000 remain.

Poaching is largely to blame, with a lucrative demand for tiger skin and parts from neighbouring China.

There is also the continued destruction of tiger habitats as human communities expand, leading to growing conflict between man and tiger.

On this edition of 101 East, we look at the battle to save India’s tigers from extinction.

Show your support for A strong Lokayukta

Show your support for A strong Lokayukta

It's outrageous! Bihar's government is trying to kick Anna Hazare in the teeth by passing a weak Lokayukta bill. We have just three days to flood the official consultation, and keep our anti-corruption movement on track.

CM Nitish Kumar promised to clean up Bihar, yet his anti-corruption bill would enable his government to block prosecutions of his officials, and to punish citizens who make complaints. We can stop this. Kumar cares about his reputation and says he’ll listen to citizens’ comments before finalising the bill -- let’s ensure he hears our call for strong anti-corruption legislation and changes his mind.

Together we can follow up the recent Lokayutka victory in Uttarakhand, and c to pass an anti-corruption law our movement can be proud of. The consultation closes in three days -- let’s all send messages calling for a strong Bill and forward this email so our friends can do the same.

I support a Strong Lokayukta, you too support.

I Support Forests - You Support too before it is Late

Save the Forests before they disappear

Save The Forests Before They Disappear

The forests will disappear once the government plunders and destroys all them for the coal that lies beneath them. Apart from being important for the livelihood of thousands of people, and holding valuable biodiversity and wildlife, these forests are one of the best habitats in the world for TIGERS.

There are sustainable energy solutions of energy efficiency and renewable energy to power our needs. Tigers and the forests can be saved. Support the forests to save them from destruction.

You should show your support for the forests because they are home to wildlife and millions of people who depend on them.

Speed of light 'broken' at CERN, scientists claim

It was Albert Einstein, no less, who proposed more than 100 years ago that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light.

But in end of September 2011 it emerged that the man who laid the foundations for the laws of nature may have been wrong.

The science world was left in shock when workers at the world’s largest physics lab announced they had recorded subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light

If the findings are proven to be accurate, they would overturn one of the pillars of the Standard Model of physics, which explains the way the universe and everything within it works.

Einstein’s theory of special relativity, proposed in 1905, states that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. But researchers at the CERN lab near Geneva claim they have recorded neutrinos, a type of tiny particle, travelling faster than the barrier of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second.

The results have so astounded researchers that American and Japanese scientists have been asked to verify the results before they are confirmed as a discovery.

Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the researchers, said: “We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing.”

Scientists agree if the results are confirmed, that it would force a fundamental rethink of the laws of physics.

John Ellis, a theoretical physicist, said Einstein’s theory underlies “pretty much everything in modern physics”.

Dasara Dolls at Sandhya Jayaram's house - year 2011

This one is again an album against Dasara Dolls, the arrangement is at my Chikkamma (Aunt)'s house. Smt. Sandhya Jayaram, with the complete help of her family, had arranged a number of dolls, her younger son Adarsh had prepared models of Castle, Race track, etc. which were kept in the arrangement, such home made arts are also considered to be a part of the Bombe Habba.

Dasara at home - Year 2011

 Thanks to My Ammaa (Mother) B. R. Gayathri Devi and Tangi/BhaginI (younger Sister) Samhitha  N For their time from work and studies, to get the dolls arranged and well designed artificial steps.

Bombe Habba, Golu, Kolu, Dasara Dolls Festival

The Dasara Dolls Festival is a 10 Days long festival that generally falls between end of September to start of November, depending on the Lunar calendar. The Festival is commonly called as Bombe Habba, Golu or Kolu

The Festival is celebrated in the first nine days of the Sharad Rutu (Ritu – meaning season) that falls in the Ashvija maasa’s (maasa is a month) first Forth night. People in South India, especially Karnataka, some parts of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu Celebrate Dasara by worshipping the Goddess Durga as KaLi Durga, Lakshmi Durga and Saraswathi Durga; respectively between the days 1-3, 4-6, 7-9. The nights between 1st and the 10th Days are Celebrated as Navaratri (Nine Nights) which is considered as sacred nights when the Goddess won over a number of Asuras/Raakshasas (Daemons).

The 10th Day is Celebrated as Vijaya Dashami (10th Day against Complete Victory of the Goddesses over the Daemons). There are many stories against Vijaya Dashami, as Rama’s Victory over Ravana, etc. Finally it is the Victory of goodness over bad that is celebrated as Vijaya Dashami.

Coming to the Dolls of Dasara, this is a traditionally carried out festival. The main Dolls are a natural Family Pair of Humans, generally considered as Husband and Wife, called as Pattada Gombe, or Pattath bommaikal; referring to the main dolls of the festival. These are dolls that are generally handed over to the daughters of a family during her marriage to start her own family and also carry on the tradition. The Pattada Gombe are made of wood. they are either dressed well using colour papers, or even Silk materials, the Dolls are dressed according to the Classical/traditional costumes of the family (We could see some dressed in Suits as Shorts as well referring to cross culture.) but the one dressed in Indian costumes with heavy works on them as well as the Folding and designs catches the eyes to check the patience of the person who dressed it as well how their tradition is preserved even with the dolls.

Dasara Dolls at B. R. Gayathri Devi's House - 2011

Going ahead, the Pattada gombe is surrounded with a number of dolls, some are statues of gods while other are decorative dolls, you could even see Dolls that tell stories like the Pancha-tantra, Thirsty crow, etc., one can also find the dolls that reflect our tradition like the marriage group, the Band set, Mysore – Dasara depiction, Temples, Places of India (even world), Family tree doll (Dolls that come within one another to a long series.), Praying a serpent, processions of Gods, Sports sets, Indian leaders, a village, Shashtyaabdhi purthi (Celebration of Completion of 60th year). Dolls depict epical stories of Ramayana, Mahabharata, Krishna Leela, Tiruvelaiyaadal (the playing of gods as humans), etc.
The dolls come as sets or single dolls, they are mostly made by hand, for bulk manufacturing, moulding is used, they could be made of Clay, mud, wood, porcelain, Plastic, beads, or any material that could be turned as even a part of a doll.

Most of the Houses the dolls are kept in steps, some of them arrange it as sets, some arrange them as stories, and some arrange as they want to. In any such arrangement, you could see at least one Kalasa (a container with water, leaves and a fruit – generally a coconut on it), the Pattada Gombe and at least one form of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, Forms of the Godess Maha Shakti (Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswathi, etc.).

I had been to houses where the arrangement was on small steps but on wider area, around 13+ steps starting from the edge of their roof till the floor where the Volume of the house was less, perpendicular arrangements, etc. but visiting them at least once in a year could tell you about the talents and patience of the people who do such arrangements.

Dolls are not the end. I remember in my child hood, I used to carry a lot of eatables (snacks) from my neighbours during Dasara, between (1991-2000), but saw a drastic change since then, people either stopped or reduced keeping Dolls in most of the paces and the zeal was lost, this not only reduced the flow of small delicious eatables but also drought down healthy neighborliness. Thanks to the TV and Print Media, their initiatives brought in the fervour back in 2008. I get the snacks back on evenings by going to neighbours and relatives’ places to see their art against Dasara Dolls.

I have seen the Dasara Dolls since my 1st year (though I might not be knowing/understanding what it was then), my mother has been keeping it for 24th year now. I have been buying dolls for her since I started working (in fact some part of my Salary is saved for that as well as budget is also important.)
I would be placing albums against the Dasara dolls' pics that I took this year at around 8 places (due to busy office schedules, I could not travel to many homes and increase my collection). Along with that there would be pics of Sri Sharadaamba at Sri Ganesha Mandiram, T. R. Nagar, Bangalore – 28, that were taken during Navaratri with the Goddess in different Alankaara(s). Also some of the pics I took at Maa Durga Pooja celebrations by Bihar brothers and sisters near Puttenahalli, Bangalore.

The Hindu : News / National : Villager asks PM: show me how to run a day on Rs. 26

The Hindu : News / National : Villager asks PM: show me how to run a day on Rs. 26

A villager from Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir has sent demand drafts of Rs.26 — the Planning Commission's poverty line cut-off for rural areas — to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Commission's Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia and asked them to show how to run a day with that amount.

Darvinder Singh of Bhagote village, about 130 km north of Jammu, said on Saturday that the Commission's classification of the poor was an “insult to crores of the poor of the country.”

LETTER
He had also sent a letter with the DDs, according to a release, which he emailed to media houses across the State.

‘HOW WILL YOU FARE?'
In his letter, Mr. Darvinder Singh asked the three leaders to run a day on Rs.26 and let the other poor people of the country know how they fare on this meagre amount.
He said that despite soaring inflation, the Commission was making “illogical, unjustifiable and unrealistic claims.”

“WITHDRAW AFFIDAVIT”
He urged the Prime Minister to “withdraw the affidavit submitted in the Supreme Court to save further embarrassment to the poor.”

PROVISIONAL PLACEMENT
The Planning Commission recently told the court that the poverty line for urban and rural areas could be provisionally placed at Rs. 965 per capita per month (Rs. 32 a day) and Rs. 781 per capita per month (Rs. 26 a day).

HDR Photography - My First attempt on - Lepakshi monolitic Nagalinga

HDR is not a greatest art to master until you know what it is.

There are a number of sites that could help you learn HDR. In simple steps, you just get an HDR generated by an image taken with more than one exposure, Darker, medium tone, and lighter. You could use a stitching tool to Stitch them together into a single photo, or use Adobe Photoshop to generate HDR or Use Windows Live Photo Gallery to Fuse the Photo, or use very high-end software for creating HDR. I used wiki to understand it.

You could find minute differences with how each software works and gets you the pics. but you would have to choose the best one to put up on your album.

I was inspired by the below picture of the Lepakshi Sculpture:

This was a HDR, you could see the best lighting against all the locations. I took my Bike to a ride to Sri Virabhadra Temple, Lepakshi (Karnataka-Andhra Pradesh border) from Bangalore. It was a decent ride with my cousin Balaji. We shared the ride in order to ensure that we do not get tired.

Reaching there I first found the below sign board that let me take many photos at the temple without paying for my own photography.

I, first used the stitch method to get the below images converted to Stitched HDR:

 

This gave me the image Stitched Image: 

Monolitic Nagalinga - Stitched Image 

The Main Images were next Fused with the below Images:

The Fused Image was generated using Windows Live Photo Gallery Editor Console:

Monolitic Nagalinga Fused

Finally I used Adobe Photoshop to generate the HDR with all the Original images that included the below one as well.

HDR Result is:

Lepakshi monolitic Nagalinga HDR

Ah.. Please note, the Light on the serpent head is not from any additional effects. That was the natural light source for the Mother Earth, it was the SUN who helped me a lot in getting these photos, and posts on the blog.

I remember, this is my second post that I have typed for long time. My vocabulary is not too good. I rarely post as well. but hope this is something that could help out people in their photographic skills as well.

Further if you are in India, or you'll be in India. Please visit Lepakshi, this Structure is said to be built by one great Sculptor, who had nothing to do while his beloved mother was preparing food from him. He thought Idle mind is Devil's workshop, so the Sculptor carved this marvelous stone serpent with Siva-linga in the middle. His mother was astonished at the ability of her son and exclaimed against this. Alas! the was a crack created in the Snake's body. We could even today recognize that there was a crack on the body of the Snake on this statue if carefully observed (they have been patched up by cement like material).

This was a story I heard from my beloved Grand Mother. There is an inscription (mostly in Telugu if I had observed that properly) along one of the sides of the Prakaram of the temple, this was not exactly read by me, possibly that would have mentioned the actual story. 

Find Lepakshi on Google Maps here.

Indian e - Post Office

ePostOffice

Electronic Post Office!!


The government could have kept it as Virtual Post Office instead of Electronic Post Office







I had not thought about this concept earlier, but was amazed when I Saw ePostOffice for the first Time.
Indian Post Office has already come up with such a website. Philatelists - you have a great time purchasing stamps from here, the office is virtual, you have information desk, IMO desk, Philately desk, you could place orders from online using Debit and Credit Cards as well.

Check in https://www.epostoffice.gov.in/

It also has easy registration.
This is a good start for ePostOffice, still a long way to go.
The site has some UI corrections to be done, hope they ll be fixed soon.

I have purchased the Stamps from here, they were sent in speed post in decent time. The PO charges for the Speed post from you during the payment itself. So it is better you place a bulk order. Further the associated Gateway Bank also charges against the transactions, but this is not a large amount, you could get that by not having an ice-cream or a coffee.

13-Year-Old Looks at Trees, Makes Solar Power Breakthrough - Technology - The Atlantic Wire

13-Year-Old Looks at Trees, Makes Solar Power Breakthrough - Technology - The Atlantic Wire
Aidan Dwyer did a much better job on his 7th grade science project than any of us. While on a wintertime hike in the Catskills, he noticed the branches of trees held a spiral pattern as they ascended. He wondered if that could possibly serve some purpose, looked into it, and learned about the Fibonacci sequence, which is a mathematical way of describing a spiral. Then he studied tree branches more closely and found their leaves adhered to the sequence. Then he figured out that if he arranged solar panels the way an oak tree arranged its leaves, they were 20 to 50 percent more efficient than the standard straight-line solar arrays. That is why the American Museum of Natural History gave him a Young Naturalist award, and published his findings on its website. His write-up concludes:


The tree design takes up less room than flat-panel arrays and works in spots that don't have a full southern view. It collects more sunlight in winter. Shade and bad weather like snow don't hurt it because the panels are not flat. It even looks nicer because it looks like a tree. A design like this may work better in urban areas where space and direct sunlight can be hard to find.

Save your food - Stop the BRAI Bill

The Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India (BRAI) bill can be tabled anytime in this monsoon session of the Parliament. The bill will form a body which will single-handedly clear cultivation of GM crops in the country.

By being secretive, the government is only creating more suspicionabout the intention of the bill. Public opposition made the Karnataka government ban field trials of GM crops in the state recently. Now we need to get the national government to stop this bill.

You should ask Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to stop this bill.

What is science?- its all about science

What is science?- its all about science

When did science begin? Perhaps when early humans, more than a million years ago, picked up rocks and chipped them to form stone tools. Someone tried several different kinds of rocks. She or he noticed that a particular type of rock produced a cleaner, sharper edge than the other types. This was one of the first trial-and-error series of experiments. Gradually other kinds of rocks were tested and found to be even better. Materials scientist do the same today, formulating the latest metal alloys and tailor-made composits for special purposes.

Spread the word - Stop Genetically-modified crops and save your food!

Spread the word - Stop Genetically-modified crops and save your food!

Mr. Amrit Gowda is a farmer in a village in Bijapur, Karnataka. American seed giant Monsanto used this unsuspecting farmer's land to produce genetically modified corn seeds,^[1] which have still not been assessed for safety in our country.

A Greenpeace team along with a television news channel caught Monsanto violating all safety norms important to keep our food supply and environment safe from such experiments.^[2] Genetically contaminated seeds threaten our food safety and security. Studies have shown that these crops also pose a threat to the environment and the health of those who consume it.^[3]

In spite of all this the state government has allowed such field trials. This will contaminate other crops grown in the state and the health of those who consume them later. We need to tell Chief Minister Yeddyurappa to stop giving permissions for such field trials and uphold the health of the people and the environment in the state.

Ask the Chief Minister to stop all field trials in Karnataka.

The petition says: Mr. Chief Minister, do not allow field trials of genetically modified crops in Karnataka.

The petition signatures will be delivered to the CM. Strong public opposition to the introduction of the genetically contaminated Bt brinjal resulted in a moratorium on its release last year.^[4] We can do this again. A lot of people asking the CM of Karnataka to say no to field trials of genetically contaminated crops will put pressure on him to act.

Minister of environment, Jairam Ramesh has given state governments the right to allow or refuse permissions for field trials.^[5] States like Kerala, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh ^[6] have already said no to the field trials of genetically contaminated crops.

Our food and health are at stake again. The state government needs to put the interest of its people before those of the multinational corporations. Ask CM Yeddyurappa to keep our food safe now!

Thanks a billion!
