INDIA'S FIRST SOLO GOLD IN OLYMPICS..
Abhinav Bindra won India's first individual Olympic gold medal on Monday with a thrilling come-from-behind victory in the men's 10m air rifle.
Bindra had been fourth after qualifying but had a brilliant final round and the Indian, the epitome of tranquillity, hit a near perfect 10.8 on his last shot to pull in front of Henri Hakkinen of Finland, who fell to bronze with a poor final shot.
That late stumble by the Finn allowed China's Zhu Qinan, the defending Olympic champion and heavy favourite, to salvage a bitter day with silver. Zhu sobbed uncontrollably on the podium and again at a news conference.
"I can't describe how happy I am," the ever-calm Bindra told journalists. "It's the thrill of my life. That's about it. It's hard to describe. I just went for it. I knew I was lying in fourth. Thankfully it went my way and I just went for it."
Zhu suffered a lapse in concentration in the qualification earlier when he had to rush his final shots to make the time limit, dropping to second behind Hakkinen ahead of the final.
"I was under tremendous pressure and at times I felt really agitated," Zhu said just before stepping on the podium and breaking down in tears. "But I tried my best."
Moments later at the news conference Zhu was crying harder.
"I've been through a lot of hardship and shed a lot of tears in the last four years, there have been successes and failures," he said. "After 2004 my only aim has not changed. I had so very much wanted to be a champion at the Beijing Olympics."
He added: "In the last two rounds I made several mistakes because I had used up all my physical and mental energy."
Bindra, who faced criticism for failing to deliver on the great promise he showed as a child, said he was not thinking about making history in India with a first individual gold medal. In fact, he said, he was "not thinking about anything".
"I was just trying to concentrate on shooting," he said. "I wasn't thinking of making history. I was two points behind the leaders. I was just trying to shoot good shots. I wanted to shoot well and shoot aggressively. And that's what I did."
His 10.8 of a possible 10.9 on his final shot sparked loud celebrations from group of fans from India.
Hakkinen, who was even with Bindra before his mere 9.7 on his last shot, said that crucial shot felt like the nine before it.
"It just wasn't my turn," he said. "It shows that shooting is a sport from the first to the final shot. Every one counts."
Randhir Singh, Indian Olympic Association secretary-general and former shooter who was present at the range, was stricken by nerves as the competition reached its climax.
"I haven't prayed so much in my life. With the second last shot they tied together and then he (Bindra) shot a 10.8. It couldn't have got better," he told Indian television.
Bindra won the 2006 world championships and finished seventh in Athens four years ago.

LEsson 1-To step your self in STOCK MARKET(joke)
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs10.
The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.
He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.
The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs50."
The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!! !

Top 10 monuments of India
If ticket sales are anything to go by, the luminous 17th century Taj Mahal in Agra is the most popular monument in India, attracting over 2.5 million visitors a year.
The marble monument to love built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan that is listed among the seven wonders of the world was visited by an estimated 2,048,120 domestic and 491,351 foreign tourists in 2006.
These findings were put out by the ministry of tourism's annual publication, "India Tourism Statistics", based on figures collected from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
ASI, which is responsible for protection of cultural heritage in India, keeps records of the number of tickets sold to both Indian and foreign nationals at monuments.
"Among all the monuments, Taj Mahal was the most visited monument in 2006 for domestic as well as foreign tourists," the report said.
The monument in recent days has seen attempts by Shiv Sena activists to hold Hindu religious rituals there, as they argue it was built on the ruins of a Shiva temple.
The 17th century Red Fort was the second most visited monument in the country as far as domestic tourists (1.9 million) were concerned, while for foreigners, the second most exciting place to visit was Agra Fort (259,427 visitors) whose construction was completed in the 16th century.
The Qutub Minar, known as the tallest brick minaret in the world built here in the 14th century, is the third most preferred monument among foreign and domestic tourists. An estimated 1.9 million domestic tourists and 249,040 foreign tourists visited it in 2006.
It is easy to understand why the Taj Mahal, which last year found pride of place in a new list of seven wonders polled by people around the globe, continues to be the most popular monument.
It has been the most visited monument since 2004 - for domestic as well as foreign tourists.
Among the 10 other most famous monuments popular with domestic tourists are Charminar (Andhra Pradesh), Purana Quila (Delhi), Golconda Fort (Andhra Pradesh), Bibi-Ka-Maqbara (Maharashtra) and Mamallapuram (Tamil Nadu).
With the foreigners, it's Humayun's Tomb (Delhi), Fatehpuri Sikri (Uttar Pradesh), Red Fort (Delhi), Sarnath Excavated Site (Uttar Pradesh), Khajuraho (Madhya Pradesh), Mamallapuram (Tamil Nadu) and Jantar Mantar (Delhi) that are most popular.
The study said while the number of domestic visitors to centrally protected monuments increased by 13.2 percent in 2006 over 2005, for foreigners the figure grew by only six percent, and the overall growth was 12.6 percent
In 2006, about 4.44 million tourists visited India, and in 2007 the figure went up to five million. There were 461 million domestic tourists in 2006 as compared to 391 million in 2005.

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for
survival. Check out the things that you can do with it: -
(1 )
EMERGENCY
* The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112 ..* If you find
yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an
emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to
establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. **Try it out..**
(2)
Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys?
This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call
someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.
Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"*
(3)
Hidden Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is very low , you are expecting an important call
and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve
battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with
this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This
reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.
AND
(4 )
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone:
* # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.
You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

GENERAL : Allergy causing sofas
Thousands of Brits have developed severe allergies after coming in contact with the toxic gas emitted by an anti-mould agent in their Chinese sofas.
An increasing number of patients are being treated in hospitals for symptoms, which appeared to range from skin cancer, and chemical burns to severe eczema.
The cases have been linked to an estimated 100,000 sofas sold by Argos, World of Leather and Walmsley Furnishing manufactured in China by a company called Linkwise.
Researchers from Sweden have revealed that the severe allergies were the result of the reaction to the gas created during the sublimation of a chemical called dimethyl fumarate. Sublimation is the conversion of a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid state.
Sachets containing crystals of the chemical are being placed between the cover and foam of the sofas to prevent mould developing during shipping.
Professor Magnus Bruze, a dermatologist from Malmo University Hospital in Sweden, said his tests had proved conclusively that the allergic reactions were caused by the dimethyl fumarate.
He added that it could take weeks or months to become hypersensitised to the chemical, which disguised the link to the furniture in many cases.
Exposure to dimethyl fumarate can make a person more vulnerable to reactions to other chemicals.
"Some of the cases have been very severe and have been difficult to differentiate from the malignant cases of skin diseases like lymphoma, or a skin infection or chemical burn," Times Online quoted Bruze, as saying.
It is feared that contamination could have spread from the sofas throughout homes when the gas cools and re-solidifies.
Tests have concluded that the rate of sublimation increases with heat - such as the weather and the body mass of people using the furniture.
The study suggests that fatter people are more likely to be affected and with regular exposure to the chemical the number of cases are likely to shoot up.
"The long-term effects are not yet known but we''ve had reports of people being hospitalised and two alleged fatalities," said Richard Langton, partner at solicitors Russell Jones & Walker.
"In many cases the pain is like the worst sort of sunburn or scalding form acid or boiling water. It has lasted for months or years if people don''t realise the cause," he added.
Meanwhile, Argos has apologised to the customers who may have been affected by skin irritations linked to sofas manufactured by Linkwise.

GENERAL AWARNEzz..Why you MUST wear a helmet
People will give you 100 reasons why you don’t have to wear a helmet. I am going to give you a couple of reasons why you MUST wear one if you are on a bike -whether as a driver or passenger.
Last year (2007),in Kerala, 1462 people died because they did not use a helmet while on a bike. Out of this,almost 350 were backseat passengers.
Let us consider this- you are walking inside your house and suddenly hit your head against a door or an open shelf. It will definitely hurt and there is a good chance that you may also crack your skull bone. This is at about 5 to 6 km per hour which is our normal walking speed.
Now imagine falling from a bike and hitting your head on the road at a much faster speed ,say 20 km ,30 km ,40 km per hour? Do you honestly believe that your skull can withstand that much force? What about still higher speeds which people seem to use while riding a bike when they are in a hurry ? Any damage to the brain is permanent and cannot be treated at the present time. The thermocol lining (see fig 1) protects the brain by acting as a shock absorber and not allowing the full force to reach the brain. So even in a fall at high speeds, brain damage can be minimised.The metal shell acts by spreading out the force of impact over the whole helmet rather than a single area of the skull. When you fall without a helmet, the force is concentrated at the point of impact of the skull with the ground thus greatly increasing the risk of a skull fracture and brain injury.
The report from St.James’s hospital, Chalakkudy, Kerala is still more enlightening. On average, the Neurosurgery dept sees about 200 head injuries every month. During June 2007 they had just 14 and in July 2007 they had 18 head injuries. The reason ? These were the two months during which the police tried to enforce helmet wearing. Due to public outcry about police harassment, they relaxed the enforcement after this and from then on it was back to the 200’s in terms of head injuries.Wearing a helmet will not give you headache, neck pain, visual defects or hearing problems. These are just myths propagated by people who refuse to understand the science behind this safety device. I used to wear a helmet from 1988 to 1992 with no ill effects whatsoever. Let us just suppose that you do develop any of these problems after wearing a helmet. These are all temporary and treatable. Head injury and brain damage are permanent and NOT treatable. So what will be your choice ? Helmet has to be worn on the head and it has to be properly strapped on. Otherwise , as soon as you fall , it will be thrown off. There are many people who hang it like a talisman on the handlebar or the mirror to ward off the evil eye. Unfortunately it is NOT going to save their life..
Be sensible. Wear it on your head.

TODAY'S MORAL..
Bank account of life
A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably coifed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.
His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.
As he manoeuvred his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window.
"I love it," he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
"Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room, just wait." "That doesn't have anything to do with it," he replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. " It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice. I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away just for this time in my life.
Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories! Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing!
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3 . Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

HOW TO IMPRESS CLIENT'S..
'I was in the airport VIP lounge en route to Seattle a couple of weeks ago.
While in there, I noticed Bill Gates sitting comfortably in the corner, enjoying a drink. I was meeting a very important client who was also flying to Seattle, but she was running a little bit late.
Well, being a straightforward kind of guy, I approached the Microsoft chairman, introduced myself, and said, "Mr. Gates, I wonder if you would do me a favor."
"Yes?"
"I'm sitting right over there," pointing to my seat at the bar, and I' m waiting for a very important client. Would you be so kind when she arrives as to come walk by and just say "Hi Tom?"
"Sure."
I shook his hand and thanked him and went back to my seat. About ten minutes later, my client showed up. We ordered a drink and started to talk business. A couple of minutes later, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Bill Gates.
"Hi, Tom," he said.
I replied, "Shut up, Bill, I'm in a meeting."

Aritcle of the Day
Engineer Vs Programmer
A Programmer and an Engineer were sitting next to each other on an airplane. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he wants to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to sleep so he politely declines, turns away and tries to sleep. The Programmer persists and explains that it's a real easy game. He explains, "I ask a question and if you don't know the answer you pay me $5. Then you ask a question and if I don't know the answer I'll pay you $5." Again the Engineer politely declines and tries to sleep.
The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, "O.K., if you don't know the answer you pay me $5 and if I don't know the answer I pay you $50! " Now, that got the Engineer's attention, so he agrees to the game. The Programmer asks the first question, "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" Then Engineer doesn't say a word and just hands the Programmer $5.
Now, its the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down on four?" The Programmer looks at him with a puzzled look, takes out his laptop computer, looks through all his references and after about an hour wakes the Engineer and hands the Engineer $50. The Engineer politely takes the $50, turns away, and tries to return to sleep.
The Programmer, a little miffed, asks, "Well what's the answer to the question?" Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands $5 to the Programmer, turns away and returns to sleep.

AJITHS NXT AVATAR...
AVM's grand set for 'Aegan'
This has been one film that has been constantly under the focus light. It has made headlines very frequently. 'Aegan' has Ajith and Nayantara in the main roles.
Reports indicate that AVM had erected a huge set for this film resembling a durbar. But the sets had been taken off because the team had to relocate to Vizag for shooting some important scenes, following the Hogenakkal issue.
The AVM studio has now put the grand set back in place and the shooting will continue as planned earlier.
From the posters of this film doing the rounds Ajith has been portrayed in two very different and great-looking makeovers, one sporting a beard and the other with just stubble. The entire team has been tight-lipped about the plot of the film. By what it seems ‘Aegan’ looks like one interesting film.
Yuvan Shankar Raja who is busy with composing the music for this film is already through with two songs.

AVATAR TEN...
Movie REVIEW:
Just imagine, a man has done 10 roles in a single movie, with different make-up, body language and speech accent....!!!!
What more can i say, Kamal is just,
HARD WORK PERSONIFIED !!!
Dasavatharam--- Its Kamal haasan's show all through !!!! The movie is a show of grandeur. Kamal makes it beyond the ordinary. His sheer audacity, magnificence and histrionics are simply spellbinding. And creativity is given new dimensions.
The Storyline
The Story Line For Dasa is very Simple, its just a TWO LINER. People might say there's hardly any story in the movie. But i feel the screenplay is the story by itself (Kamal's 11th Avathar) has been done really intelligently.
In a movie having 10 roles, the only thing to think about or expect in a story is, " How exactly are all the 10 roles binded together to a single thing, well mostly co-incidentally binded". As a matter of fact even in real life, the meeting of TEN different varied people can be only co- incidental-- not a planned one. Well, this is what happens in the movie, which is supported by
CHAOS THEORY !!!
The film opens with a bird's eye view of Chennai were Kamal is giving a Speech, and takes the audience to the past -- the 12th century.
In Chidambaram, Vaishnavaites and Shaivaites are in perpetual conflict with the former taking the position that Lord Vishnu is supreme and the Shaivaites being steadfast in their faith in Shiva. King Kulothunga Chozhan (Napoleon), a Shaivaite, forces Nambi (Kamal), a staunch Vaishnavite, to worship Shiva. As Nambi rebels, the king sentences him to death. On the orders of the King, his soldiers throw Nambi into the oceans tied to a stone image of Lord Vishnu. Nambi's wife Kothai (Asin) also dies from shock.
From this 12th century episode, the story moves to the 21st century. Action begins in the United States where Govindaraj is part of a team of scientists working on a virus. If exposed to the elements it can spread rapidly and kill millions of people. Coming to know of it, baddies (again a team led by Kamal, this time as Christian Fletcher, a former CIA agent) try to acquire it to use it in a bio-war. By mistake, the virus comes in a parcel to India. Govindaraj and Fletcher come to India looking for the parcel which has reached Chidambaram. Suspecting that Govindaraj has taken away the deadly virus, US President Bush (he too is Kamal), asks the Indian Government to apprehend him.
In his journey to find the parcel containing the virus and destroy it, Govindaraj meets Andal (Asin) who is a staunch Vaishnavaite, Krishnaveni Paati, a 90-year-old woman; a tall and innocent Muslim youth, Kaifullah Khan; a Punjabi pop singer, Avatar Singh; a Dalit leader, Vincent Poovaragan; a Japanese martial arts teacher Shingen Narahashi; and an intelligence official (RAW) of the Government of India, Balaram Naidu (all Kamals). The virus eventually falls into the hands of Fletcher. Who swallows it and dies when the intelligence official corners him with a gun. Then tsunami strikes Chennai inundating a stretch of the seashore in Chennai. Poovaragan (Kamal) drowns in the sea while being engaged in rescue operations.
THE 10 Roles
Kamal shows his versatility in all the roles. Every frame is an experience in itself. Each of the characters played by Kamal has a different skin tone and a different make-up. The lingo also varies from character to character, making each role distinctly different.
Kamal as said earlier, has spun a "TWO LINER Story" thats has complex concepts (Chaos Theory/Butterfly effects etc.,) for the common man to comprehend in their own way. People who look it in a more intellectual view point will definitely appreciate his effort !!!
Kamal has really excelled in his eleventh role of the screenplay writer. It had so many "micro woven" intricate details and instances which i cant imagine that any normal script writer can think of. Its such a fantastic subject that mixes intelligence with commercial ingredients. It requires an extraordinary intelligent mind to write the sequences some of which are food for thought to the intellectuals as well as ordinary people.
Action packed chases, entry of every new character of Kamal in regular intervals, and a racy scene every now and then made me feel the movie really entertaining. Beyond all .......the KAMAL FACTOR just made me awestruck, missing many dialogues gaping at KAMAL's acting !!
Guys who complain about the story, make-up and graphics are expecting tooooo much from an Indian(tamil) movie!! High expectations are natural because the actor is the GREAT Kamal Haasan. But if someone is expecting graphics to the standard of 'Lord of the Rings' in a tamil movie, then thats foolish. This movie has got visual effects which no other indian movie has produced! Its a pure visual treat! This movie has taken tamil/indian movies to the next level. And finally, the movie is made for TAMIL audience!
I read someone writing this movie might not run in B/C center. But, I personally felt it will be a huge success in B/C centers.Its guys like us who have watched all these hollywood movies complain about the graphics / story / screenplay.From a normal tamil film viewer point of view this is gonna be a sure visual treat.
The greatest thing about DASA is,
Case 1:
If u see it just as a just another movie, without pondering much about logic and storyline, looking for entertainment and gloss, you will love the movie as a COMMERCIAL RACY ENTERTAINER....!!!
Case 2:
ALSO if u see it in a more INTELLECTUAL ANGLE, U love it EVEN MORE appreciating
KAMAL's Brilliance ...!!!
Well, each movie has its commercial flaws, but there are a hundred things which you would appreciate in the movie and film making, that those minuscule flaws are clearly overshadowed.
Case 3:
If u r Midway, Thinking about logic, but not knowing much about CHAOS THEORY AND
BUTTERFLY EFFECT, then u might find the movie damp.
Being mid way is always a problem wherever. No one can be blamed for that !!!
You have to be one of the first two cases not the third one to really like the movie...!!!
The 10 Avathars -- A Note !!!!!!!!!!
1. Rangaraja Nambi[A Staunch Vaishnavite]
- Brilliant body language.
- Fierce Acting.
- Awesome dialogue delivery.
- Amazing body ( Cant even imagine Kamal is 50 plus )
Look out for the scene when Kamal is forced to say Om Namah Sivayah . He starts singing Om Namooo and ends saying Narayanaya....Chanceless !!!
Also when Napoleon says so many "Arivom's" to Nambi, he says that the god has made even him to say so many "Hari Om".... Really Brilliant Dialogue !!
2. Govindaraj [ A Scientist ]
- Yet another Hero Kamal.
- Great Acting.
- Typical Kamal (includes all his qualities), looking more younger compared to his recent past.
Dialogues towards the climax, regarding GOD, were typical Kamal ;)
Govindaraj : "Naan Kadavul Ilainnu Sollalla..Irundha Nallayirukumnu Thaan Sollraen "
Also,,,,
Fletcher : You cant get 'away' with this.
Govindaraj : No, I can get 'a way' with this.
3. Christian Fletcher [ Ex CIA Agent ]
- Enna STYLE, .... Chance Eh Illa !!!
- Great Dialogue Delivery And Accent.
- Clearly one of the Best Villains... Really Cool Villain !!!
Really SUPER Dialogues by FLETCHER like,
Dr.Sethu : She's a pro!
Fletcher : Yaa, i know that , am asking about the language !!
Fletcher : " YOU ARE THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE NORTH SIDE FACING HORSE "
Fletcher: You talking to me ????
A TRIBUTE to Robert De Niro's "Taxi Driver" mannerism.
Kamal was just awesome...
Fletcher Showing his frustration by telling "SHIT DAMN BRAM (Chidhambram)"
4. American President George Bush
- Really Wonderful English Accent ( He showed clear variation in accent between Fletcher and Bush )
- Make Up Really looks like Mr. Bush
- Hilarious Dialogues Making fun Of MR. Bush....!!!
Clever Mockery..... Like....,,
Mr. Bush: What's NaCl ??
Call Mr.MAN MOHAN SINK...!!
Mr. Bush: "Can't we put a nuclear Bomb over that and stop it." [ Hilarious and clear mockery of Bush's affinity towards WARs and Bombs ]
Mr. Bush : " Can you explain it to me? "
Bush's Associate : " President, it is bit complicated. "
Mr. Bush : " Then don't explain it. "
He He.... Lol.... :D
5. Balaram Naidu [ An intelligence official (RAW) of the Government of India ]
- Make Up looks Very Very Real.
- Sama Humour.
- Wonderful "Golti" Accent.
- Very Good Body language as a Stout Man.
- The Sequence with Balaram And Krishnaveni Paati, really Good
My Favourite Dialogues,
Balaram Naidu : " Intha side Narasima Rao intha side Appa Rao....2 Rao um senthu ravoda rava kandu pidinga..." ............hilarious dialogues.
Balaram Naidu : "Enga Yaenna 1st night ah nadakuthu Orae light eriyaaaaa..!!"
Balaram Naidu : "Terrific scientist ah, ila Scientific terrorist ah ?? "
Courier company guy: Narashima rao
Balaram Naidu : teluga ??
Courier company guy: illa kannadigaru
Balaram Naidu : problem inta, rendu bashaikum same script thane !!
Balaram Naidu : "I am from andhra and i am speaking in tamil....you are a tamilian and you are speaking in english...aprom tamil vazhga...valzharga nu sonna...eppadi tamil valaraum! "............. Witty Mockery !!!
Balaram Naidu : un paer enna?
Kalifulla : "kalifulla khan"
Balaram Naidu : hmm... athan ippadi fulla irukiya!!!!
kalifulla : !!!
Appa Rao : "He can speak five languages in Telugu".
Balaram Naidu : Vaaya "Light house"oo. (at Kalifulla Khan )
6. Avtar Singh [ A Famous Pop Singer ]
- Kamal looks just like A Sikh... Wonderful.
- Awesome song. [Kamal sung the song "Oh Oh Sanam"]

- Hilarious Dialogues In a an unimaginably Perfect Accent of an old Lady,
Krishnaveni Paati says: " Romba traffic jam, adhan flyover la vandhuten".
-Paati's relative says "Unga pilla sigappa thaan iruppaan".He meant that in the photo she carries-- also we can notice tht her son's fair..!.!..but she replies to him..""Ulla aana sigappu thaanda , Veyil'la thaan velila maathram karuthu ponaan ".
Awesome touch.. !!!

Scene Dialogues !!!
Fletcher 2 Shingen: Remember HIROSHIMA ???
Shingen 2 Fletcher: Remember PEARL HARBOUR ???
Sama PUNCH !!!!!!!
Shingen Narahashi at Fletcher: "You wanna die slowly or quickly ?? "
Other Aspects
- Camerawork by Ravi Varman was too good to be ignored.
- Despite playing dual roles in the film, Asin hasn't got much to do on her part, but her works are really outstanding and in particular her enunciating the Brahmin style is really mind blowing.
- Mallika Sherawat although not needed for the movie, was there in the movie just add a commercial gloss and for other very obvious reasons.
- Himesh Reshammiya fails except for "Kallai Mattum" and "Oh Oh Sanam"
- Background music by Devi Sri prasad is excellent.
- K.S. Ravi Kumar has a word of appreciation for Supporting Kamal, not Directing him.
- Wonderful Editing
- Full marks to the Make up Artist and his team and to Kamal for that.
- A Kamal special ! His usage of Unga Kadavul, unga perumal might not go well with the theists but I say Unga kamal dhaane..free aa Vidunga....... ;-).
People who complain about the story, make-up and graphics are expecting tooooo much from an Indian(tamil) movie!! High expectations are natural because the actor is the GREAT Kamal Hasan. But if someone is expecting graphics to the standard of 'Lord of the Rings' in a tamil movie, then thats foolish. This movie has got visual effects which no other indian movie has produced! Its a pure visual treat! This movie has taken tamil/indian movies to the next level.
And finally the movie is made for TAMIL audience! I read someone writing this movie might not run in B/C center. But, I personally felt it ll be a huge success in B/C centers. Its guys like us who have watched all these hollywood movies complain about the graphics/story. From a normal tamil film viewer point of view this is gonna be a sure visual treat !!!

More On Dasavatharam And ETC...!!!!!!
Too many doubts about correlation of the movie, Chaos theory and Butterfly Effect have come into Picture....!!!
Let me come 2 one aspect....
The movie clearly states about Chaos Theory and Butterfly Effect [Kamal says it in his Speech in the Movie ]
The concept of "CHAOS THEORY" and "BUTTERFLY EFFECT", by itself is a complex concept, which mainly highlights the happening of huge unimaginable things because of least probable things...!!!!
Dasa although deals with these concept, but does not necessarily confuse anyone with it,,,, As i said earlier, its mainly "YOU"... that plays a factor in how the movie gets along with "YOU".
You have got to be Case 1 or Case 2 as i have said earlier in this entry,,, No use being Half Baked.....!!!!
To just brief about these Concepts,
Q: What is Chaotic System ?
A: Basically a chaotic system is one wherein long term predictions are impossible.Like for example,if I push a car, I know that it is going to move and it will continue to do so if I go on pushing it on and on.However,in a chaotic system,this situation cannot be predicted over a long period of time.
Weather for example is a chaotic system.No matter how good your instruments are,you simply cannot predict the weather with 100% accuracy over a long term basis and forecast it.
Q: What is the Butterfly Effect ?
A: It is the most important component of a chaotic system.Basically,small perturbations results in amplifications which completely destroys the original nature of the system and makes prediction impossible.
If a butterfly flaps its wings in Africa,it could result in a cyclone in USA.(Mark the word COULD).A highly dumbed down explanation of the butterfly effect is in the film Anniyan,where Vikram's sister dies because a liquor shop owner sells liquor on a dry day.
Q: OK, how does Dasa incorporate it ?
A: In essence,Dasa talks about 8 characters who are inconsequential as such,but are integrated in a larger picture.Without Bush,the plane would have been called back.Without Shinghen, Govind would be dead.Without the tsunami,the world would have been destroyed.Even Krishnaveni Patti plays a very important role.If she had not put the vial in the idol,maybe Govind would have recovered it then and there and a powerful weapon would have been unleashed.The very fact that it went into the idol meant that it was being accelerated to its destiny.Without Kaifulla Khan, Govind would have never escaped;the list simply goes on.
Q:OK,so does the film talk about theism or atheism?
A:Neither.It talks about how humans drive the destiny of the world.
MOREEEEEEEE....!!!!!!!!!!
CHAOS THEORY
In mathematics, chaos theory describes the behavior of certain dynamical systems – that is, systems whose state evolves with time – that may exhibit dynamics that are highly sensitive to initial conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect). As a result of this sensitivity, which manifests itself as an exponential growth of perturbations in the initial conditions, the behavior of chaotic systems appears to be random. This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future dynamics are fully defined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.
Chaotic behaviour is also observed in natural systems, such as the weather. This may be explained by a chaos-theoretical analysis of a mathematical model of such a system, embodying the laws of physics that are relevant for the natural system.
BUTTERFLY EFFECT
The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in a certain location. The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale alterations of events. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different. Of course the butterfly cannot literally cause a tornado. The kinetic energy in a tornado is enormously larger than the energy in the turbulence of a butterfly. The kinetic energy
of a tornado is ultimately provided by the sun and the butterfly can only influence certain details of weather events in a chaotic manner.
Recurrence, the approximate return of a system towards its initial conditions, together with sensitive dependence on initial conditions are the two main ingredients for chaotic motion. They have the practical consequence of making complex systems, such as the weather, difficult to predict past a certain time range (approximately a week in the case of weather).
The movie does Show " A Butterfly " flying accross the screen after the Tsunami Attcck, clearly indicating that the Tsunami is an Outcome of " The Butterfly effect ".
ALSOOOOOOO........
I said that the butterfly COULD cause a hurricane.That's a huge probability. Would be a negligible probability. NOT a huge one. if that were true, we would have cyclones on an hourly basis as butterflies keep flitting all over Africa and u don't have so many cyclones to account for a HUGE probability.
Chaos,relativity and quantum mechanics are so damn weird that you will think I am talking metaphysics and pseudoscience.
Like for example,according to quantum mechanics,there is a finite probability that you will fall right through a solid chair.And it is a PROBABILITY.
Even 10 to the power -26 is finite :-) .
But yes, Quantum Mechanics does allow for weird situations.
THE CONNECTION !!!!!
Guys check this link for a clear and complete explanation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect
In the above links u can see that butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in a certain location..
So in dasavatharam that idol thrown into sea in 12th century is the cause for tsunami.... so everything is interlinked .The wiki entry also says that chaos could play an important role in plate techtonics. Which means even the 12th century incident is connected.
The 1st scene is perfectly connected to the climax, remember what Kamal says in the 1st scene, that he will not say "Om Nama Shivaya" , but Asin tells him to chant it , but still Kamal refuses , ( in this kamal in his story tries to tell that ) Nambi believes in his god more than anything, but Asin feels "Its ok if we change the god or chant other god's name, its life thats most important." Now if u see the climax its JUST OPPOSITE.... Kamal doesn't believe in god much and values lives of people the most.... but Asin deeply believes in god and that too this dialogue comes when both Asin and Kamal's hand is on the god which came from the sea , and it also means that they are getting united from the place they departed hundreds of years back ( Kamal and Asin).The connection between the 1st scene and the climax in the movie shows the generation circle combined with supernatural powers of GOD and destiny.....!!!
If you watch it closely u can also find another actor who has done double action other than Asin and Kamal.
Asin's father Sahasranamam [12th Century], in the beginning he says to Nambi "Panchatchira manthirathai sollitu vaango mappillai" and at the End [After tsunami] he says "Avar enna jathiyo inga vaanga paati ".
Another Eg. of Chaos Theory and circle of life.
JUST IMAGINE THE CHAOS THEORY IN A TAMIL FILM ??
WILL ANYONE HAVE THE GUTS TO HANDLE THIS KIND OF A SUBJECT IN A TAMIL FILM?
ONLY KAMAL HAS THE GUTS.... U ROCK!!
FURTHER-------------
Nambi explanation
Okay, this is slightly outside the chaotic system driving the film as a whole.From what I could gather he says that this story is about ideologies like God,the madness surrounding such ideologies and decides to tell the story of the Shaivite-Vaishnavite conflict to show how people go crazy in the name of God as an example.
As a loose end,it gets tied up in the end,when the Ranganathar idol is thrown out of the sea due to the tsunami which highlights the cyclic nature of life.Actually the Nambi character highlights both Chaos and Karma which I explained.That is the brilliance of this film,there is so much to see and understand.
Another explanation(and this is slightly far fetched--- as explained earlier) is that Govind is in fact the reincaranation of Nambi. As Nambi he couldn't protect God and died in the name of God.In order to fulfill his Karma,he is reincarnated as Govind Ramasamy who ultimately saves the world from destruction.The idol in the end somewhat hints to this theory; his story began with the idol and it ends with the idol.
As far as the connection with Nambi character and events in 12th Century goes...
The connection is based on the "Butterfly effect ".
When Govind and Andal goes to the bury the idol in the sands, Andal will stumble on a particular stone couple of times...This is the same stone as the one from 12th Century hen Kothai rips her Thaali and flings it at Kulothunga Chozan...it will end up hanging on the stone. So, the implied message here is Andal is Kothai reborn in the 21s century.
During the encounter with Santhana Bharathi in the sand quarry, it is repeat of the incident from 12th century. Instead of Kulothunga Chozhan, it is the Sand Mafia which tries to inflict damage on the land.
This movie is a brilliant juxtaposition of independent characters whose paths cross, if only briefly, which is stunning example of Chaos Theory.
The idol that is drowned in the sea along with Rangarajan in 12th century by Chozha king results in a fault being developed at the bottom of the ocean and creates tremors more than 800 years later. These tremors result in the Tsunami. This again is a classic case of Butterfly Effect wherein a seemingly inconcsequential event (the drowing of the idol) saves Tamil Nadu from being wiped out off the face of the earth.
But actually kamal has not left anything for our imagination... Explanation struck the right chord, Kamal does tell to Asin in a dialogue that idol which gets sunken back then gets struck between the tectonic plates under the sea and causes tsunami...
Many people missed this dialogue i guess. Kamal's accent was so very perfect Tamil, that many people missed it.... Being perfect Is a Problem by Itself !!! :)
Although the explanation is a least possible theory, that is what "Chaos Theory" And "Butterfly Effect" are all about.
Its not just the statue that caused the tsunami, but it just started a large chain of effects which kept multiplying exponentially and finally lead to it after 800 years....!!
Why just say this concept is perfectly illogical... it is possible... thats what i have been explaining all the while !!!
The story line is that things going wrong are made to be right which involves many people and countries knowingly or unknowingly.
Knowingly:
-Bush, Manmohan Singh, Govindh, Fletcher, Balaram Naidu, Mallika Sherawath.
Unknowingly:
-Nambi's drowning to death with the heavy statue causes simple changes to the seabed that causes a devastating tsunami 800 years later [Acc. to Chaos theor it is possible.... although it is least probable... It is possible.. so nothing TOTALLY WRONG About it ]
-Poovaragan(actually saved kamal unknowingly---when poovaragan enters kamal and asin were caught by those manal kollayargal.There poovaragan distracts the gang helping kamal to escape),
- Avatar Singh(gave way to Fletcher to escape in the airport unknowingly),
- Japanese(saved govind from fletcher,he knows he is saving but he doesnt know about the play and was there only for revenge),
- Kallifulla and family(saved govind unknowingly)........
-Vincent is a dalit leader of a lower caste( the so called ) but saved an Iyengar Girl ......and at the end becomes the con of the Iyengar Paati !!
- If Shingen Narahashi's sister was not killed, Fletcher could have killed govind and used the virus for wrong purpose..
This is based on Chaos Theory..!!!!!
It is marvellous that Aandavar Kamal has used such a device in Abhoorva Saghodhararghal, way back in 1989. To kill Delhi Ganesh, for those of you who do not remember... yet another Eg. of Chaos Theory And butterfly Effect !
The plot concept of Dasavadhaaram is logically explained by a machine used by Him in His own screenplay back then too, before 20 Years!! Be it a coincidence, or He possibly had that in mind as an inspiration, it amazes me!!
My whole point is, Kamal Haasan, is a Born Genius !!! I am just trying to ADMIRE Him.....!!!!!!
This Blog entry is purely my personal opinion... I have just seen the movie just once, if i observe any other things when i watch it again, i will surely EDIT the entry and POST them.
Thanks to all my fellow Kamal Fans, for explaining to me many things, without which this blog entry would have been impossible.
I am not answerable to your doubts on the movie... Neither am i convincing anyone who doesn't like the movie. its all in your EYES.
As a matter of fact--- Liking Movies is Very Much Individual oriented and can never be inflicted.
I have just put forward my views on the movie.... and ... What DASA Meant to ME !!!!
Tats It !!!!!!!!!!
A Fan's Quote (which i read somewhere) : " I'm not an atheist like Kamal because my God is Kamal ...!!! "

All about Kuselan...
Listening to Rajnikanth's Kuselan
Tewnty one-year old G V Prakash could not have asked for more! At such a young age, he got a chance to compose music for the superstar of Tamil cinema, Rajnikanth.
The icing on the cake was the presence of his illustrious uncle, A R Rahman at the Tamil as well as Telugu films' (Kadhanayakudu) audio launch on Monday.
Prakash also got country's best singers -- Shankar Mahadevan, Chitra and Sadhana Sargam -- to sing for him. What many don't know is that Daler Mehndi has sung the title song -- his first for a Tamil film.
It is interesting to note that Big Music bought the audio rights of Kuselan for a whopping Rs 2.2 crore, the highest for a Tamil album. The previous highest was for Rahman's Sivaji, again a Rajnikanth film.
