ஜப்பானிய கில்லிகள் (Japanese Gilli's)

Some time back, I received a video shot during Diwali celebration in Japan(I believe so). I had just created an YouTube account and I uploaded this video. It went on to hit 1 Lac views in a short time. YouTube is really rocking with a huge user base. No wonder why Google acquired it for $1.65 Billion.

Coming back to the video content, really these Japanese (??? Somebody please help me to find out the real location, by interpreting some audience talks heard in this video) kids deserve a huge applause for their spectacular dance for this Tamil song.

I have also uploaded the original song from the Movie "Gilli". I would suggest you to watch the Movie dance and then go for the stage performance. You will fell the difference.

Song : Shalala
Movie: Gilli

Original Dance by Trisha & Co.




Stage performance by Japanese kids


Don't forget to follow the shortest kid at the right end of first row. She makes her movements by watching her neighbors. That's a cute act, and she does it smartly throughout the song. I like the portion 1:13 till 1:25 very much.


Click here to watch the original video in YouTube.
Have a great weekend!!!!.

Miserable Career finishes


Often great sport professionals have ended their career on low. Kings and immortals of sports have experienced huge slumps at their career ends. Here is a list....


Needing 4 runs to keep his average in three digits, Don Bradman was out for duck in his final Test match. He had to end his career with an average of 99.94. To his bad luck, he didn't get a chance to bat in the second innings, as Australia tumbled England by innings defeat.



Michael Schumacher, the greatest F1 driver ever, couldn't win championship title in his final two years, thanks to the fantastic rise of Fernando Alonso and Renault.



Though having a successful streak of tennis career, Andre Agassi couldn't carry on till the end. He lost to a 112th ranked guy in his last match.



Ian Thorpe, the 5 times Olympic gold winner had to end his career in the wake of prolonged illness.



Having won three world titles, Mohamed Ali's last appearance is often viewed by the critics as the fight of deteriorated Ali. He then succumbed to Parkinson disease.



Mike Tyson , the undefeated baddest man on the planet was blessed with losses, bankruptcy, court cases during his career end. Interestingly Tyson's 6 losses (of 58 total fights) were at his career end.



In his last world cup appearance, Diego Maradona the greatest foot baller ever was sent home after failing a drug test.


There are very few greats who managed to remain undefeated at the end.


Though facing a slump in his career end, Pete Sampras managed to win his last match which was an U.S. Open final.



Glenn Mcgrath is the luckiest cricketer to finish his career at career best, after Ashes clean sweep and World cup win. He exited as highest wicket taker in ODI's and world cup matches.


There are many more entries for the first list, if you consider Tendulkars and Gangulies of India as Greats. They have spent most of their career in lows and survived for a longer period because of their rare shows. It is always good to retire at the times, when people ask "Why are you retiring?" before they start asking "When are you retiring?"

ஒரே மாதிரி 7 பேர்!!!

Hindu mythology believes that six other resemblances exist for every human being in this world.

I always wonder about the resemblances of actresses across Cine industries. Here is a short comparison list.

This above comparison is made not only based on the face resemblances, but also on the type of roles they play in their respective industries.

This is a nice tool which looks for face resemblance in a database of celebrity images. I got Pierce Brosnon as my match with 56% match.



But uploading different images of mine produced different results. Doubting its inefficiency, I did a funny test by uploading a photo of young Einstein. To my surprise it matched it perfectly with the old-looked Einstein at 90% resemblance. This application is developed by an Israeli site called www.myheritage.com

இதுவா சாதனை?





வருடா வருடம் இந்த நக்கலை பண்ணுவதை ஒரு வழக்கமாக கொண்டுள்ளன ஊடகங்கள். இந்த கருத்துடன் நாம் ஓரளவே ஒத்து போகலாம். மாணவிகள் மணவர்களை காட்டிலும் அதிக மதிப்பெண்கள் பெறத்தான் செய்கிறார்கள். ஆனால் +2 மதிபெண்களைக் கொண்டு அவர்கள் திறமையை மதிப்பிடுவதை நான் எதிர்க்கிறேன் .

+2 மதிபெண்களைக் கொண்டு ஒரு மாணாக்கனின் "Mugging Power"-ஐ தான் மதிப்பிட முடியும்.



அவர்களின் அறிவுபூர்மையை மதிப்பிட நல்ல அளவுகோல் நுழைவுத் தேர்வு மதிபெண்கள் தான். நல்ல எடுத்துகாட்டு சொல்ல வேண்டுமென்றால் "ஒரு கணிணியின் சிறப்பான செயல்பாட்டிற்கு ROM அளவை விட RAM அளவு தான் முக்கியம்."


(My patience is tested till here...)

Those who think that girls are intellegent than the boys, please get us the following statistics:


  • Number of Girls in the Top 1000 of CAT exam

  • Number of Girls in the Top 1000 of IIT Entrance exam

  • Percentage of girl students in the top preferred courses in TN. When we studied in Anna university, the number of girl students was comparitively less beacause they didn't shine well in the entrance examination as they did in the public exam. (From this academic year this percentage will be more as the government has scrapped the entrance examination.)

Girls!! Excuse me. This is the truth.
