Kuselan!!!The much-awaited tamil flick that hits the theaters with a bang on August 1,2008 featuring the asia’s most favourite super star RAJINIKANTH. Is this name not enough????This name itself stirs cheers and applause from not only serious rajini buffs but also from every strata of the society ranging from kids to oldies,rich to poor.Such is the Rajini phenomenon.Even though the film has the super star appearing only in a guest role(approx.60 mins through out the film inclusive of 3 songs) the film has not failed to kindle enough expectations and eagerness that would be available with a full length RK movie.Ok enough about rajinikanth..Lets take a sneek look at this venture being produced by Kavithalaya.
DIRECTOR:
Captain of the ship…In this case its P.Vasu.He knows the strengths of the 'Super Star' very well than any other directors. He has worked with the actor on several occasions in the past and no doubt they were astonishing blockbusters. The duo had tasted success in ‘Panakaran’, ‘Mannan’, ‘Uzhaipalli’ and ‘Chandramukhi’ in the past.
PLOT:
This time Vasu has chosen to remake ‘Katha Parayumbol’, a Malayalam movie produced,directed and acted by Sreenivasan, which went on to become a smash hit in Mollywood. The plot is so simple such that the movie revolves around the tale of friendship shared between a popular actor and a poor barberThe movie is about two childhood friends. One grows up to become a successful actor and the other, barber, who struggles to eke out his livelihood. What happens when they meet forms the crux of the story.(As you all might know this name is taken from hindu mythology where kuselan is a friend of Lord Krishna who is very poor and shows his friendliness to Krishna by giving beaten rice even when he and his family are in absolute poverty.Thus one would be reminded of the word friendship when they come across the word kuselan.Thats why the producers and director have chosen this name quite aptly.)
CAST AND FILM CREW:
‘Kuselan’ features Pasupathy and Rajinikanth in lead roles. Pasupathy plays a poor barber. Meena dons the role of his wife, while Nayantara plays herself in the movie.The musical score is done by G V Prakash. Although the songs are not getting craved from people other than Rajini fans but one would expect that it could get much and much better once the film releases. Aravindh Krishna has handled the camera. The movie has a huge star cast which includes Vadivelu, Prabhu, Vijayakumar, Sneha among others.
USP:
1.What else can it be???Its Rajinikanth,rajinikanth and only rajinikanth.The costume designer and the director has taken some painstaking steps to ensure Rajini looks much and much younger and smarter than any of his previous films.His make up and costumes look fitting and appealing.
2.The climax, with Pasupathy and Rajini, is said to melt hearts!Rajini is said to have cried in the climax of the movie which would be a different kind of treat for his fans..
3.Vadivelu is said to have done the role of his career and is said to be toooooo hilarious.
In all kuselan is said to be a fun filling family entertainer ride!!!!!!!!
So what else are u waiting for???Book your tickets for kuselan soon and rock!!
And our best wishes for Kuselan from our team!!!!
Happy FreindShip Day - Advanced Wishes
There is not much literature on Friendship Day history as we celebrate this day . However, there are numerous folktales and several instance in mythological legends that shows that friends and friendship have been valued since the beginning of civilized world. As an intrinsically social creature, men love to make friends to further this process of socialization.
History of Friendship Day in US
Considering the valuable role friends play in our life it was deemed to fit to have a day dedicated to friends and friendship. The United States Congress, in 1935, proclaimed first Sunday of August as the National Friendship Day. Since then, celebration of National Friendship Day became an annual event. The noble idea of honoring the beautiful relationship of friendship caught on with the people and soon Friendship Day became a hugely popular festival. Following the popularity and success of Friendship Day in US, several other countries adopted the tradition of dedicating a day to friends. Today, Friendship Day is enthusiastically celebrated by several countries across the world including India.

In 1997, the United Nations named Winnie - the Pooh as the world's Ambassador of Friendship.
Importance of Friendship in Bible
The Bible, the primary text of the western civilization, reflects upon friendship as the bond that forms the foundation to human faith, trust and companionship. Following verses from the bible aptly portray the importance of friends.
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7
“Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.” : John 15:13-15
Besides, there are several tales from the Old Testament and the New Testament about the value of friendship and how true friendship is a treasure to unearth. A noticeable point is that, both the versions make a difference between the two broad meanings of friendship- one is a mere acquaintance, the other is a more affectionate relation.In the Old Testament, Abraham is called the “friend of God” because of the intimacy of his relations. God speaks to Moses face to face “as a man…unto his friend” (Ex 33:11). The romantic friendship of Ruth and Naomi, the devotion of the subordinate Hushai for David, or the mutual relation between David and Jonathan - the Old Testament is replete with these interesting tales of friends and friendship.In the New Testament, the relationship between Jesus and his disciples clearly depicts how human friendship can constantly grow. From being teacher and disciple, to lord and servant their relationship finally grew to an unparalleled friendship.
Importance of Friendship in Mahabharata
In the famous Hindu epic ‘Mahabharata’, Lord Krishna demonstrates the many colors of friendship - affection, romance, brotherhood, protection, guidance, intimacy and even teasing. Friendship is all about these and much more.

The beautiful design, solid construction, sharp screen resolution and keyboard will surely catch your attention. Added to that its price tag is also very attractive and is best suited for people on move or those who travel very frequently. Now let us get deep into its design, features, performance, battery life etc.
Design : The IdeaPad U110 is very compact in size but the keyboard and screen are so designed to give a you a smooth experience for long durations. Most of the external features like keyboard, touch pad, quick launch keys, mouse buttons are given a glossy piano finish. Just above the keyboard you can see a set of glowing orange launch buttons which has an aesthetic touch. It has power and Novo buttons on the left side which provides you with quick system recovery and to manage battery life respectively.
Features: Lenovo IdeaPad U110 comes with the latest 1.6GHz Intel core 2 Duo L7500 processor and Intel 965GM chipset which is more than sufficient for all sorts of applications that you might run on this system. For faster speeds it has 2GB RAM of 667 MHz frequency. You cannot ask for something better than this. It has 120 GB Hard disk which runs at 4,200 RPM. For better video quality it provides you Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics card. And as said above it is ultraportable in nature. For those who are avid music lovers there is Stereo speakers with Dolby Virtual surround and has head phone and micro phone jacks. It comes with Windows Vista Home Premium.
Performance: It promises to give you a good experience on a whole. The 2GB RAM along with the latest processors gives you the desired speed for running multiple applications simultaneously.

Things the 3G iPhone is Still Missing
1. Multimedia messaging - Almost every other cell phone in the market has the ability to send images to other cell phones via multimedia messaging, or MMS. Yes you can still e-mail those photos, but MMS is such a basic feature that it should've been in the iPhone from the start.
2. Copy and paste - Again, this is such a basic feature. Having copy and paste makes it easier to type out text messages and e-mails.
3. Video recording - In the world of mobile video, Qik, and YouTube, it's a shame the iPhone doesn't have video-recording capabilities. Yes the quality wouldn't be that great, but it should be an option anyway.
4. Voice command - For a touch-screen phone, we think voice command and voice dialing would've been a great feature add-on for the iPhone. Perhaps this will be added via a third-party app, but we would really prefer this to be a native setting.
5. Bluetooth flexibility - Right now, all you can use Bluetooth on the iPhone for are headset voice calls, and that's it. This is sufficient for most people, sure, but we would like for Apple and AT&T to open up the Bluetooth profiles for the iPhone. This means we would like stereo Bluetooth and A2DP for streaming music wirelessly, Bluetooth tethering so we can use the iPhone as a modem, and finally we would like to have Bluetooth file-transfer protocol so we can transfer files to and from the iPhone.
6. Horizontal keyboard for e-mail and notes -Another annoyance for writers--and a confusing omission, given the capability of the iPhone's on-screen keyboard to flip horizontally for some applications but not for others--is the fact that the touch-screen keyboard doesn't rotate to a landscape orientation when using the Notes, e-mail, or Maps applications. Those also happen to be the three most writing-intensive apps on the iPhone, which makes the necessary one-finger hunting and pecking required by the portrait-mode keyboard all the more annoying if you use those features a lot.Over time, using your thumbs to type versus holding the phone in one hand and poking at the keys with one finger is a lot more significant than you might think.
7. Improved predictive text (or the ability to turn it off) - The iPhone's predictive text feature (where the phone "guesses" what you're going to write after you enter a few characters--to eliminate typos) does a decent job of streamlining typing. However, it has only an "opt-out" feature, which requires hitting a very small "x" to deselect the word it suggests. This is where that feature fails. The time it saves in correcting miscues sometimes pales in comparison to the frustration it causes in forcing you to repeatedly deselect words. And there's no way to turn it off or create a keyboard-based shortcut to deselect the predicted word.
8. Flash support - Sadly, no one really knows when being able to view Flash animations or films will be a reality on the iPhone. This big wish-list item for the second-gen version is still missing from the 3G handset. Even though YouTube clips are in Flash format on the Web, they've been converted to QuickTime format specifically for the iPhone-centric version of YouTube. The lack of Flash support means Safari fumbles when it comes to YouTube clips embedded in blog posts or other pages; those just show up as broken plugin icons, with no option to launch the clips in the iPhone's separate YouTube application.
2. Copy and paste - Again, this is such a basic feature. Having copy and paste makes it easier to type out text messages and e-mails.
3. Video recording - In the world of mobile video, Qik, and YouTube, it's a shame the iPhone doesn't have video-recording capabilities. Yes the quality wouldn't be that great, but it should be an option anyway.

Liquid-crystal displays (LCD), in the past restricted to notebooks, are now a reality for desktops. The three greatest advantages of this type of video monitor compared to traditional tube-based monitors (a.k.a. CRT, Cathode Ray Tube) are the use of less space on the desk (especially 17" models or bigger), less power consumption and 100% flicker-free, even with a refresh rate of only 60 frames per second (60 Hz). In this tutorial we will explain everything you need to know to make the right choice when buying a new LCD monitor.
The most important thing you need to know about LCD technology is that LCD panels have a fixed resolution. This resolution is called “native resolution”, “maximum resolution” or simply “resolution” and you must configure your desktop to that resolution, otherwise three things can happen, depending on the model of your monitor:
1. The image won’t be “sharp”; it will be blurred. You will see lots of squared areas, without any definition.
2. The monitor will centralize the image in the new resolution, reducing the image size and inserting a black frame around the image. For instance, if your LCD native resolution is 1280x960 and you decreased it to 800x600, this means there are 480 pixels left horizontally (1280 - 800) and 360 pixels left vertically (960 - 600). The image will be centralized and there will be 240 black pixels above and below the image and 180 blank pixels on the sides of the image.
3. The monitor will try to stretch the image in order to not show the black area around of the image, filling the whole screen. This is done thru a technique called interpolation, which isn’t 100% perfect and thus you will feel that the image has better quality (definition) when the screen is configured at its native resolution, even though the elements on the screen (e.g. icons, letters, etc) will be smaller. In general you will feel that the image is slightly out of focus (blurred) when the monitor is not configured in its native resolution.
