Olympics & the world

Posted on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 at 3:45 pm


The Olympic fever is on! TV shows, website and even casual talks with colleagues @ work will deal with this. Even I had this fever over the weekend. China is hosting a wonderful Olympics with the technology advancements & hard-working people. I am also amazed seeing USA trying to capture its positions as always.

It was so interesting to watch the events being performed by various nations. Whether you win or lose, representing your nation looked beautiful to me. I was feeling little worried that India is not seen in most of the events. On Monday, the good news of Rifle shooting came in where Mr.Bindra became the first individual Indian to win the gold medal in Olympics. I was happy but really waiting to see the indians participating in all Olympic events. Even if 20-20 cricket becomes available in future Olympics, I will still wait for the Indians to participate in all events.

Kuselan in Phoenix

Its friday and Kuselan is realeasing all over the world. When movies are remade, there is always an arguement that the original is special when compared to the new ones.  Very true, it happened even with Chandramukhi. But you know what, if you prefer to enjoy the style and the masala aspects its better to watch the new one and then compare it with the original. Or else you will not be satisfied. This movie has created too much of hype inspite of being a remake. Superstar with his new getups(continues from Sivaji) is making the movie so special. I have 2 other stars who are my favourites acting in this movie – Pasupathy & Nayantara(lady superstar)! No big idea about G.V’s music in this movie. Hoping my friday night turns out enjoyable!

NASA

NASA is celebrating its 50th year anniversary and thats why you see google image transforming today. I love Google for that matter; I was told Google has a separate team to look into this image transformation! Check this out – Google Logos. Anyway talking of NASA, I simply love their exploration work. The Atlantis space ship and the shuttles to cater its needs are simply amazing to me. The Astronomy picture of the day is another interesting item where common man gets to know about the daily work of the astronauts & observatory stations. I would like to show some pictures of Meteor Crater that I visited recently in Winslow(near Flagstaff) Arizona. NASA scientists use this site for their launches, etc.

Cannot believe such existing! Also check out the word ‘Avatar’ being used in the sites. Create your profiles, start your business and make money. I haven’t tried it but I heard from my colleague – its also been taught in schools here for specific courses.
