An idea to save power.
Why not have a split-refrigerator similar to split a/c?
Wouldn't fridges releasing the heat inside an air-conditioned(cooling, not heating) room would make it hard for the a/c? Or does keeping the fridge inside the a/c room reduces the power used by fridge?
Any way I don't live in an air-conditioned apartment and I believe energy can neither be created nor destroyed. But my fridge heats my apartment, which I don't like during summer. I would like it to dissipate heat outside my apartment. But during winder it can continue to serve as a room-heater.

33% Ladies and 0% gentlemen
33% reservation for women. Will there be a rule to have a women PM/CM for 33% of time per-term? If it is OK to force a women representative for a constitution for a term, this should also be implemented.
At least we should implement 33% reservation for men as well, even though it is not needed right now, to maintain equality and avoid problems in the future. Also it would help hiding the gender based discrimination of law.
One solution could be the one in my school. One male representative and one female representative per constitution.
I can foresee a future protest by Eunuchs for reservation. It would be better if we can implement it now itself. Also I would like to know the basis for this particular 33%, why not 34%?

சிங்கம் stoolலதான் நிக்கும்

சிங்கம் படத்துல சூர்யா அனுஷ்காவுக்கு ஜோடியா நடிக்கிறாராம். ஒயரம் கம்மின்னு Stool-ல நின்னு நடிக்கிறாராம். தில்லா உயரம் கம்மியான Hero-வாவே காட்டி படம் எடுங்கய்யா. நம்ம சச்சின் டெண்டுல்கரே, அஞ்சலி டெண்டுல்கரவிட உயரம் கம்மிதான்

What these advertisement mean to me
HDFC ATM
A guy parks his car in no-parking. Before the cops could tie his car to towing truck, he gets back in the driver seat.
Probable intended meaning: No crowds at ATM, and very fast service
I understood: ATM's without parking facility and no customers except law-breaking stupids
Ashirwad Atta
A young daughter of the family is too fast and active doing like stealing chappathi's, removing clothes from the drying line, when it rains before her mother could.
Intended meaning: Ashirwad atta keeps the girl healthy and energetic
Conveyed meaning: Everyone else, who also eat the same atta are dull and lethargic.
Did you ever had such interesting mis-interpretations?

விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா
கடந்த வார இறுதியில் (வாரநாட்கள் அல்லாத மற்ற நாட்களை தமிழில் எப்படி கூறுவது?) "விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா" படத்தை சென்னை சாந்தம் திரையரங்கில் பார்த்தேன்.
ஏ ஆர் ரஹ்மான் ஏமாற்றி விட்டார் என்றே தோன்றுகிறது. படத்தில் ஒரு கட்டத்தில் அவரது பழைய பாடலான "முஸ்த(அக்கு)பா முஸ்த(அக்கு)பா" பாடல் வரும்பொழுது அவரது இசை-யில் உள்ள இறக்கம் தெளிவாகிறது. அவரது பழைய பாடல்களில் உள்ள வித்தை(மேஜிக்) இப்பொழுது குறைந்துவிட்டதாக உணர்ந்தேன். அல்லது எனக்கு வயதாகிவிட்டது(அவருக்கும்தானே).
கௌதம் மேனன் "வேட்டையாடு விளையாடு" திரைபடத்தில் போட்டதை போல, "Another episode in a young mans pursuit of love" என போட்டு இருக்கலாம். "வேட்டையாடு விளையாடு" திரைப்படம் "காக்க காக்க" திரைபடத்தை நினைவூட்டுவதை போல, இப்படம் வாரணம் ஆயிரம் படத்தினை நினைவூட்டுகிறது.
படத்தின் உச்ச கட்ட காட்சிகள் பிடித்தது. ஆனால் படம் எப்பொழுது முடிவடையும் என ஏங்க வைத்து விட்டது. படத்தினை ஒரு அரை மணிநேரம் குறைவாக வரும் வகையில் எடுத்திருக்கலாம்.
படத்தின் முடிவில் ஒரு கதாபாத்திரம் "..நான் சாந்தம் தியேட்டருக்கு போறேன்.." என கூறுவது பிடித்தது! ஒவ்வொரு திரை அரங்கிலும் அந்த அரங்கத்தின் பெயர் வருமாறு செய்திருகிறார்களா என தெரியவில்லை!

save what?
World always admires great marketing shows, and we need at least one of them to be at prime, always. Of late it was the fruit seller's job to amuse the crowd. His show has made people go nuts and buy whatever he sells for a premium. But his last show missed his magic. I guess, if he had continued for some more time, people might have even booed at him. Looks like he has aged and we need a new face.
Last years NaN I/O show had an amazing presentation that created a tsunami(beta). But the buzz could not keep up. A key difference between the fruit buzz and the spider's buzz is that, those who were blindfolded by the fruit seller had committed by purchasing the crap and so they continue to cheat themselves and others by spreading good things about the iFruits. But those were caught on the spiders net were not really trapped yet and wont look like fools by admitting that the tsunami(beta) is indeed crap. But initially spider's signature idea of making one feel privileged and proud to have access to tsunami(beta) was quiet a success.
When sellers run-out of ways to excite the crowd, to sell their crap, they try to capitalize on patriotism, morality etc.. IOW attack our low EQ. They would help us save the mars, the jupiter, the sun, the ant, the rat, etc.. so that one can feel proud buying their crap. As many of them are already helping us to paint the earth pink or whatever color we like, one is unable to kindle the excitement with that anymore.
But recently a little known, once locally popular, watermolecule is able to make use of us to advertise for them, by igniting our feeling to save our cat and in process pride of our nation. Most of us don't even know that the no of cats left quoted by watermolecule is from an estimate from 2008. And by signing and repurring their message we feel that we can save the cat, but in the process we are just working for free for watermolecule. Todays educated people, like us think, that we can boil the ocean by writing "FIRE" on our amateurfile picture and sharing it on the ass-book.
I really wonder what needs to be done to make us non-idiots and not to fall for these tricks. Formal education and experiencing many successful nations is not enough, it seems. But I do admire those on the biz, who are able to come up with ways to exploit us. If you have read till this line, I think you surely are one of those who is likely to fall prey to such marketeers. BTW this post just for fun and may not reflect even my opinion.

GWUN
2030 AD. For the GWUN project sponsored by UN, 8700000 instances of the distributed GWUN clients are running busily on Linux Servers.
The global warming has already had a huge effect on the earth. And it seemed to be getting worse in the last 2 years. The poles were melting, sea-level rose, many countries have sub-merged in the sea and the life on earth was fast reducing.
The goal of the GWUN project is to compute the top reasons for global warming and the ways to protect life on earth. The scientists were eager to know the results. The situation was getting worser by the day. Huge corporations around the world sponsored more nodes for the project to speed it up. After busily computing for 27 months, the results were ready.
GWUN result: GWUN project machines were hosted at the Poles, to reduce the power consumption required for cooling those machines. Reducing power consumption was considered as a key factor to prevent global warming. But that released heat directly in the polar region of the earth. If the same amount of heat was released in an already warmer place, the earth's atmosphere would have managed to release/absorb the energy and the polar ice wouldn't have melted.
Beware of Glogle warming. Unknown preventive measures could be the real culprits.
