Google decided to be generous enough and upped my pagerank by 1 from its previous 3. For a personal blog, I’m happy.

Kuruvi is Vijay-Dharani hit combo’s latest “extravaganza” to hit the theatres this May… But I did not have big expectations for it when I sat down to watch it today. And I was proved right.

Before we go any further let me give you a gist of positives and negatives about the movie:

I’ve never held a blackberry device in my hand even though I worked in the the telecom industry for more than 2-3 years. But many of my colleagues have had it and they’ve never been able to put it down. My last phone, a Sony Ericsson K850i was giving me innumerable problems which to my knowledge was not fixable due to the fact that the problems were inherent and not software dependant( in which case, I would have flashed the phone and it should work like new). It came to a point where things became highly annoying and I decided to get a new phone. I sat down a made a list of all the things I needed from my phone. I divided my requirements into two categories namely Definite( The phone must have these features), Maybe( It would be nice if the phone has these, but I can get by without as well).

Well… I sure hope they sort out their differences. I understand that not being able to intercept messages from Blackberry Devices in India might amount to security concerns but I’m sure a lot of countries come across this problem. So there must be a way out. 

The phone sucks worser than a kid sucking on a toffee

I’ve had the Sony Ericsson K850i for the past 6 months now and I’m not a happy customer. I’ve had the Sony K610i, Sony Ericsson K700i, Sony Ericsson D750i, Sony Ericsson P910i and still have the Sony Ericsson P990i as my business phone. So far the worst phone is the K850i.

Went to see the movie as we had nothing else to do. Dad wanted a liesurely break, so letting him drive down the almost perfect ECR Roads I thought would bring him that much closer to what he wanted…Break. Did work out well except for the crazy policemen who have been barricading Chennai City with stupid barricades… Seriously, whats with this barricading business guys? Barricades in all shapes and colours.. with sponsors names plastered on them… laid sideways, across and in no particular order. Sponsors - heres some food for thought - We hate anything that comes in our way while driving… we don’t wanna use swear words and suddenly look at your brand logo blaring at us so we get associated with it when we’re pissed off.

The “Sony Ericsson K850i Rocks” would be an understatement. Damn. This phone is the ultimate and photo wizardry. Not counting all the SLR Cameras here of course.

Chennai’s Suburban Traffic is reaching newer heights each day. I was held up for 45 minutes in this traffic, and in the picture you might be able to spot the irresponsibility of the impatient drivers. The motorists have occupied the whole road allowing no space for the oncoming traffic. Height of Stupidity.
