Tomorrow morning I am getting back to running after long period of being away from it. I feel better after having few sessions at the Sports & Exercise Department in Manipal Hospital, Bangalore.
So, would be running for few days and check whether I get the problem still in my knee. Hoping that there would not be any problems.

It took me less than 40secs for loading for wordpress.com and some more secs for authorising the user credentials. But when I tried to login to gmail it took about 15mins to get “Page Load Error” problem. Later after another 10mins my inbox opened successfully and if I clicked on any labels I kept getting an message “Still working”.
My Orkut inbox also did not open for about 30mins.
Now am frustrated.

Todays first match between Italy & Romania has been a disappointment. Match more or less heading for 1-1 draw. While I expected Italy to win the match, Romania could have won through the Penalty shot they got but Buffon saved it.

Next match between Dutch & French should be a cakewalk for Dutch. The French are not having the team that they used to have nor the set of players.

Yesterday’s loss of Germany to Croatia was real shocking. Tho am not expecting much out of the German team but I did not expect them to lose over Croatians. Big names do not mean big wins for big teams.

Ulaganayagan Kamal Hassan symbolically represents the 10 avatars of Vishnu through the 10 characters he protrays. Let me kill the suspense of all. The 10 roles are: George Bush, Old paatti, scientist, kovil priest, ex-cia, social worker, bhai, punjabi singer, karate master, police intelligence officer.
Make-up for each version of Kamal is perfect except that there can be some improvement. In certain characters it clearly shows that he has got make-up on. Kamal should understand he is not good in talking in different tones. The moment he speaks for each character one does not need any additional second to identify that it is indeed Kamal. His voice is the same with very slight modulation.
Movie starts off in a narrative mode addressing an audience in presence of Chief Minister of TamilNadu state, Prime Minister of India and President of United States. Movie moves over to 12th Century when the Shivaites and Vaishnavites were fighting among one another. This incident is true and Kamal does not show it in bad sense requiring a suit at Supreme Court.
The action moves over to United States and with it starts the story of one trying to protect the vial and another trying to acquire it from other. In this sequence the remaining of 10 characters are also seen.

Story, Screenplay, Dialogues by Kamal has slightly killed the movie. Kamal should have just stopped with story & screenplay while calling Crazy Mohan for the dialogues. Kamal seems has not learnt his lesson from earlier movie Mumbai Xpress.

The storyline is very simple, but how the characters are brought in without leaving any loose ends is a definite plus for the movie.

Music for songs by Himesh Reshmaiya does not linger long in minds. AR Rehman would have definitely had the audience tapping their feett. Music is no big shakes neither is the background score by Devi Sri Prasad.

Worth the watch, dont look for any logic, neither for much of comedy. Good one to spend sometime but overall the movie is a disappointment for all the hype it generated.

Who will win Euro 2008?
My bet is on Portugal.

Portugal enter quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over Czech.

Words get written. Words get twisted.

Sudden dust storm due to heavy winds followed by moderate rains sent everyone go crazy for sometime about 30mins back. In whitefield area, the wind was so heavy that chairs in cafeteria on roof flew everywhere including paper cups, small plates and even food on the plates.
Things look pretty quite now with no wind but just rain. Dark clouds still are there. Pray that nothing bad happened on the roads especially for people on motorbikes and cycles.

Unconfident Congress states that JDS should be called to form Govt incase BJP gets less than 100 seats. How funny. To read more click here.
BJP all set to form Govt for the first time in South India.

At this moment of writing the post with few hours left before announcing the final results, the BJP is in clear lead and well ahead of the rest. Leading in 82 constituencies and they have already won in 31, its a clear mandate against the JDS which is currently leading in only 32, Others 9 and remaining Congress.

To get to know the results click here.

Two options are possible:
1. Governor gives BJP a chance since they are going to win the maximum number of seats.
Two predictions are possible:
(a) The Govt runs without any problems for the entire 5yrs.
(b) Dissatisfied MLA’s of BJP in future can join hands with Congress, combine with JDS and Others and claim to form Govt.

2. JDS and Congress combine together with Others make a representation to Governor for forming Govt. From last occassion if Congress has learnt after what happened to BJP, they might not allow this to happen. Incase this happens then there would always be tension in the Govt and it might perform its regular duties but be more focussed on saving their chairs.

For the past one week, I have been noticing that GMail loads considerably faster than it was before. There were times when a message used to be thrown stating “Switch to HTML view”. Now I dont get those message, its not that my connection speed has improved, its still the same.
When logging out of my mail I chanced upon the official blog of theirs which mentions how they have achieved it.
This only gives rise to more expectations on performance and other features.
