Long one..

       Hello everyone, well, i should say hello to 2 or 3 people who follow this blog. But recently i found out that my page was viewed from USA, Russia ( once) and South Africa ( once ). Thank you everyone for wasting your precious time in this stupid blog. I am really happy that some people have actually viewed this blog across the world.
       What i have been doing these three weeks? Yeah, i have been asking this same question to myself. I joined speed class, first class was really boring, second class was good, now continuing my usual routine. In the meantime, I have been to some temples. Infact, three temples in four days. Make it four in four for my family. Yeah they have been doing a lot so called outing, and most of the outing have been to temples. Where else can you go as a family in chennai, when you have seen all the four malls, then T.nagar shops  and beach? ( well, my family have become regular customers for New Saravana stores and Pothys).
       The first temple was Nanganallur Hanuman Temple. I like that temple always. The view of Lord Hanuman always signifies power in his looks and also humbleness with his hands praying. Also, the taste of sakkarapongal given there. Its simply awesome. Nothing less than that. With a taste of ghee in it, they have made my mind to visit the temple again and again. Actually, i went to my friend's place and with him went to the temple. After i got the sakkarapongal and started to eat, for some moments, i wasn't able to hear what my friend was speaking to me. Then i realized, namaku than saapdum bodu kaadu kekkathae :P
      The next was Triplicane Parthasarathy Temple. I wanted to go to that temple for a long time, because the same friend likes that temple very much and told many stories ( ofcourse, i dont remember any ); and finally i went to that temple after x no of years. While on the travel, we had two scratches to our car, then there was crowd in that temple, but finally i saw the Holy meesai vaitha Perumal there. I have to visit the temple again when that temple is free as i didn't have an experience of going to that temple peacefully.
      The third is Thiruninravur Bakthavatsala perumal temple. Well, Thiruninravur is 35 km from my place, but it took nearly two hours to reach in that traffic. We finally made to that temple when the temple was about to close, the temple officials waited for their last minute pooja, and i heard its one of the holy 108 divya desam temples of India. Surely, don't miss that temple. It is good to visit atleast once.
       My sister and nephew have went to my native place, and they had a good drama when they went in domestic airlines. The domestic airlines rules state that everyone should checkin before 45 minutes to one hour, which they change to their leisure, and my sister was five minutes late for the check-in, and was made to buy another ticket in Jet airways. The loss will amount to some 4000 rupees, but seriously, we are angry with Kingfisher for doing so. Take this, Madras to madurai, 50 minutes flight, you need to checkin before an hour, so you have to start before two hours, and when you go out, it is another one hour. Therefore you lose precious three to four hours in just waiting. For that, i would say, Trains are far better. Airlines are better only in cases where you can avoid 2 days train travel. Otherwise, don't book in flights unless you are a lady and taking your kid alone. Waste of time. Waste of precious money.
       I casted my vote in the recent Tamilnadu elections, and lets see who comes to power next month. I am really happy when Trisha was made to wait for 20 minutes to caste her vote. Seriously, they  are also humans like us. They are not Gods. They also have to behave the rules of nature, pardon me, rules of ques. But some of them were angry because, people, even when they can walk well, they were going ahead saying they were senior citizens. I was waiting to see a physical fight in my polling booth, but then the police made all to wait except for the very worse senior citizens. Thank god, they only had senior citizen reservation and not BC, MBC, SC, ST for this election also.
      Now for some Tech news. Rockmelt launched and updated most to their beta 2 version. The features? New Twitter app, which is extremely cool, and the change in chat box pinning them to the lower end of the browser. Those who haven't used rockmelt, try once. Live life. Enjoy technology if you like social networking.
      Opera launched their new version saying it is fast. I actually don't find it faster than chrome. But i have to say, Opera are really innovators.. Nowadays, seeing all these browsers, I am really angry with Firefox, not for being pioneers, but for stealing others' ideas. Example? Their appearance is just like Opera. Not enough? Recently they recommended their Top 10 favourite addons. One among them is i think Aspert heights or so, ( i don't remember the name, please search later ) its feature is simple. You type g and then word in address bar, and it searches in google. b and word for bing. a for amazon. Seriously, this is your recommended add-on?? It is way cool, but if you have used Opera, you will know the reality.  Because, that is a feature of Opera's previous  10th edition.Opera deserves those credits. Also, firefox is having some trouble in loading some important webpages. Like some examination websites, or websites where you need to print, dont use firefox. It fails miserably. Not because it is worse. The webpages are not upgraded, but firefox has to bear these in mind. Not webpages. All these has made me to hate firefox recently and not to use it.
       If you use Chrome or Rockmelt, try to use an app called Bluum. I am not gonna say what it is, just find out. Just the usual search thing.  Its way cool except for that purple theme. There is no recommended browser right now, everyone keeps adding one thing or so, and the winners are us, for using these features.
       Thats it for a long blog. Time for studies and Poonam pandey. Now come on, where are you??
