Just noticed that raaga.com, a website that has allowed users to listen to new tamil/hindi/telugu songs for quite a few years now for free, is also selling these songs... what was a free ad supported streaming service is now offering individual songs for a legal copyrighted download at approx Rs.12 a song ($0.99 in the US). The price may vary depending on how old or new the songs are. They add a Rs.10 processing fee for every transaction but still you end up paying slightly less than what you would pay for a whole CD if you were buy one off the shelf. But then, here you can listen and choose which songs you want to download. Nothing better than that.
This is very welcome and this was pending for along time for indian music. The only disappointing factor about this is the site uses windows DRM, which means I cant download the songs directly into my ipod. There is a workaround though, after one acquires the windows DRM license to burn the songs on to a CD and then add the song to your iPod. Pretty painful! :(. Still, something is better than nothing.
This service can only become more popular as time goes by... they certainly have a good business model in my opinion.

James Blunt
The last CD that I got was that of James Blunt: Back to Bedlam. It was recommended by a friend and I have fallen in love with it ever since I started listening to it. Terrific songs. I love the music. Strongly recommend.

Quotes from the Gladiator
Maximus Decimus Meridius: At my signal, unleash hell.
[Maximus looks at images of his wife and son]
Juba: Can they hear you?
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Who?
Juba: Your family. In the afterlife.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Oh yes.
Juba: What do you say to them?
Maximus Decimus Meridius: To my son -- I tell him I will see him again soon. To keep his heels down while riding his horse. To my wife... that is not your business.
Gracchus: I don't pretend to be a man of the people. But I do try to be a man for the people.
Gracchus: He enters Rome like a conquering hero. But what has he conquered?
Falco: Give him time, Gracchus. He's young, he may do very well.
Gracchus: For Rome, Falco? Or for you?
Lucilla: Today I saw a slave become more powerful than the Emperor of Rome.
Commodus: Am I not merciful? AM I NOT MERCIFUL?
Marcus Aurelius: Let us pretend that I am a good father, and you are a loving daughter.
[To his dead friend]
Juba: I will see you again... but not yet. Not yet!
Commodus: The general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who defied an emperor. Striking story! But now, the people want to know how the story ends. Only a famous death will do. And what could be more glorious than to challenge the Emperor himself in the great arena?
Maximus Decimus Meridius: You would fight me?
Commodus: Why not? Do you think I am afraid?
Maximus Decimus Meridius: I think you've been afraid all your life.
Lucilla: I want to help you.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Yes, you can help me... Forget you ever knew me, and never come back here again.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back."
Commodus: I wonder, did your friend smile at his own death?
Maximus Decimus Meridius: You must know. He was your father.
Commodus: You loved my father, I know. But so did I. That makes us brothers, doesn't it? [stabs him] Smile for me now, brother.
Lucilla: Is Rome worth one good man's life?
[Watching Lucius sleep]
Commodus: He sleeps so well because he is loved.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: What we do in life, echoes in eternity.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: I am required to kill, so I kill. That is enough.
Proximo: That's enough for the provinces, but not enough for Rome.
[after swiftly dispatching another gladiator]
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?
Maximus Decimus Meridius: My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
Quintus: People should know when they are conquered.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Would you, Quintus? Would I?
Marcus Aurelius: When was the last time you were home?
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Two years, two hundred and sixty-four days and this morning.
Lucius: Are you the one they call the Spaniard?
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Yes.
Lucius: They said you were a giant. They said you could crush a man's skull with one hand.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: A man's? No. A boy's?
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Five thousand of my men are out there in the freezing mud. Three thousand of them are bloodied and cleaved. Two thousand will never leave this place. I will not believe they fought and died for nothing.
Marcus Aurelius: There was a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Ancestors, I ask you for your guidance. Blessed mother, come to me with the Gods' desire for my future. Blessed father, watch over my wife and son with a ready sword. Whisper to them that I live only to hold them again, for all else is dust and air. Ancestors, I honor you and will try to live with the dignity that you have taught me.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: I may die here in this cell or in the arena tomorrrow. What possible difference can I make?
Gracchus: He will bring them death, and they will love him for it.
Gracchus: But the Senate IS the people, sire. Chosen from AMONG the people. To speak FOR the people.
Commodus: I doubt if any of the people eat so well as you, Gracchus. Or have such splendid mistresses, Gaius.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Strength and honor.
Commodus: It vexes me. I'm terribly vexed.
[addressing his troops]
Maximus Decimus Meridius: If you find yourself alone, riding through green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled, for you are in Elysium, and are already dead.
Titus: We who are about to die salute you.
Proximo: Those giraffes you sold me,they won't mate. They just walk around, eating, and not mating. You sold me... queer giraffes. I want my money back.
Proximo: Listen to me. Learn from me. I was not the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: You risk too much.
Lucilla: I have much to pay for.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: You have nothing to pay for.
Marcus Aurelius: Let us pretend that I am a good father, and you are a loving daughter.
Lucilla: Is this not a pleasant fiction?
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Proximo, are you in danger of becoming a good man?
Lucilla: My brother hates all the world and you most of all.
Maximus Decimus Meridius: Because your father chose me.
Lucilla: No. Because my father loved you. And because I loved you.
[Maximus looks at images of his wife and son]

net neutrality
another post after a long time...
There is an important piece of legislation that is doing the rounds in the US congress... It directly affects a slew of big companies in the US, including the telcos like Verizon and the new internet companies like google and yahoo besides Microsoft. This is one point where all the non-telco companies, including Microsoft and Google see eye to eye and are in fact fighting the case together...
Net neutrality is simple terms means, all content on the intranet, irrespective of the nature of content, who generated it, who owns it and who accesses it, should be available on equal terms to every user on the net. Now, you may ask what is so special about that. Well, the telcos, who are investing loads of money in the telecom infrastructure, want to take control of their customers... and how... they want to be able to charge the different companies that generate content on their networks in different ways...
what this means is that, a google which can tomorrow provide a Voice over IP telephone service can be charged differentially (higher) for the bandwidth they use by their service provider, than say other companies, which may not have services that compete with those provided by the service provider...
naturally this seems unfair on the googles and yahoos of the world... the telcos argue that having invested so much money on their infrastructure, they own the right to exploit it to maximise value, that just left the so called "over the top" operators like google ride ove their network and gain the value that the customer generates... so you see, that seems fair enough too...
this is going to be an interesting battle... if you want to know more about the topic, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_neutrality

high res images of chennai on google earth
Just figured that google earth has added some high resolution images of chennai. They have covered quite a large part of chennai though not all of the city. A square area from Tambaram to nungambakkam have very nice high res images. North chennai is still low res... so are areas like anna nagar and mogappair...
My house, areas in t nagar like panagal park are all pretty clear. But the pictures seem a little dated. Some new buildings in the area that are around 6-8 months old are not there.
That said, this is a very good start and long overdue...

Evil!!!
| You Are 36% Evil |
 A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil. |
turtle walk
Around a couple of weeks back, I happened to go for this so called turtle walk from neelangarai to besant nagar all along the beach... I am not a wild life enthusiast and had only read about turtle's being endangered species... only because a friend of mine goaded me to go, I ended up at around midnight on a saturday at a suburban beach in neelangarai...
We met these bunch of people, most of them students at the madras christian college (MCC), along with alum of that college, Aditya, who is now a teacher... We were to walk from neelangarai t besant nagar, along the coast and it apparently was going to take around 3-4 hours... i was mentally preparing myself... There were quite a few people, around 30 of them, a mix of youngsters, families, tam bram aunties and even a couple of firangis... Their interest in this surprised me...
It started with a small lecture from one of them about the turtles... I had read about Olive ridleys, especially since they nest in large numbers in Orissa... I was surprised to know that they actually nest in smaller numbers all along the coast of bay of bengal and even the arabian sea... One of the areas they nest was also this stretch along chennai... the purpose of the turtle walk is to create awareness among the general public about turtles and how human habitation, coupled with government apathy has resulted in widespread poaching and loss of nesting habitats for the turtles... The walk was to take us along the coast, in the night, along with these volunteers, who look for turtle eggs, dig them out, take them to a safe hatchery so that the eggs and small turtles that hatch can be preserved safe and let out in the sea... The early morning time was when the female turtles nest and it is very important to dig the eggs out when they are fresh and put them back in the hatchery within a few hours... this ensures that the eggs are preserved and also helps improve their survival rate... As it is, turtles have a survival rate of 1 in 1000 eggs that hatch... A turtle typically lays anywhere between 80 to150 eggs in one nesting...
So with that began our walk... after the short lecture, every was wide eyed and looking forward to see turtle eggs and turtles... As we started, the first sighting wasa disaster... a turtle nest, which is basically a hole in the beach that the turtle digs, had been already poached... meaning, the eggs had been stolen... :-(
we carried on... we were towards the end of the nesting season (which is from november to march) and so, the probability of find turtle eggs or turtles was going to be less... the next hour or so was a disappointing one... there was nothing of note to see... a few dead fish and a few glowing algae... the beautiful beach under the moon light was the only one keeping us awake and going... we rested half way through and every one was a tad disappointed... there were a whole bunch of kids from a class in the nearby school and all of them were full of expectation...
we resumed,after a few minutes of rest and as soon as we did, the volunteers who were leading the pack picked up something... there were trails of a turtle going back into the sea... since the olive ridlyes have fins in the front and legs at the back, they make unique trails on the sand that an expert would easily spot... seeing the trails, the team got excited... and they began to hunt for the nest...
after the turtle digs the hole and lays its eggs, it covers it up with sand but that leave the sand loose... thats the indication to spot the nest and so, the team began to look for spots of loose sand... they searched for 10 minutes and asked us to sit around the place... one of the school students happened to sit on a soft spot and ended up finding the nest!!!
we found all of 102 eggs... all soft, the size of a table tennis ball... it was fascinating... watching the eggs and how deep they had been laid in the sand... we had probably saved 1/10th of a turtle, given their survival rate... :) all this was just a few meters away from some of the big bungalows along the coast... wild life was thriving, struggling but surviving and we humans were so oblivious to it... we walked along and we found another nest, 120 eggs more... again, the turtle had come deep into the human habitation and had laid its eggs right next to some of the fishing boats... Around 3 hours after we had started, we were at the besant nagar beach... along the walk, we had also seen a variety of fish, jelly fish, squids, etc along the coast... life vibrant...
When we reached besant nagar and thought we were going to finish our walk at the hatchery, one of the student volunteers came running... he shouted out... a turtle had just come from the sea and was actually nesting!!! The whole group went running to the spot and there was a huge olive ridley actually digging her nest and laying eggs... the whole crowd went silent... we had another 120 eggs to save... as the turtle then slowly crawled its way back into the sea after covering up her nest, we had just witnessed something very spectacular... almost the whole lifecycle of a species that is fast becoming extinct from the face of the earth due to human activity... after managing to survive the earth for hundreds of thousands of years... many centuries before man came into being...
we walked over to the hatchery... there all the eggs we collected were put back into the sand, into a hole that had the exact same dimensions as the ones which the mother turtle had dug for laying the eggs... the dimensions are important as the depth at which the eggs are put back in will determine the temperature at which they hatch and subsequently their gender... as in all reptiles, the temperature will determine the gender of the hatchlings...
That was not the end... as these eggs were being put back in place in the fenced hatchery, another lot of eggs, which had been placed many days back actually hatched and we saw the young turtles, hardly the size of my index finger, coming out of the sand... turtles are genetically programmed to move towards light when they hatch... since the sun rises by the sea, they go to the sea, which is the place where they find food and hopefully survive... but since human habitation had come too close to these places, the streetlights we put up fool these small hatchlings into going away from the sea towards the road and they get crushed by the passing vehicles... to prevent this, the hatchery is fenced and these volunteers let the young baby turtles into the sea themselves in the morning...
by the time we finished it was 4 in the morning... it had been an eye opened and a different experience for someone like me... especially because i spend all my time immersed at work or sleeping at home... these student volunteers were doing this day in and day out, for 4 months, for the past 9 years... to save these turtles... these are unsung heroes of our city... doing this just for the passion of saving the turtles... caring for the environment...
I will probably go again on this turtle walk... probably encourage many more of my friends to do so... if anyone is interested, please let me know... i can pass on the number...

more than a year later
Its been more than a year since I posted anything... its been a hectic one year, in which i have not done much than work... its been so much work that only the career growth that has come by my way has been any justification for the lack of attention to anything else... but its kind of time for me to break the shackles and get back to the world... one of the items in the list is to resume this blog... and make it reflect life...
