Your past life diagnosis:

Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Bohemian personality, mysterious, highly gifted, capable to understand ancient books. With a magician's abilities, you could have been a servant of dark forces.

The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
The timid, lonely and self-confident people are everywhere, and your task is to overcome these tendencies in yourself and then to help other people.

fantastic article on the hindu dated 29/08

i have a habit of glancing through old newspapers and stumbled upon a great article
whether being a good guy is essential for a kid? http://www.hindu.com/mp/2007/08/29/stories/2007082950160400.htm
for a person who has been mr.Goody-two-shoes all his life and whose notoriety resume's only item is scaling the college wall while escaping from college day celebrations....! the article touched upon a debate i always had within me... being good or bad i
the only advantage u get by being good is some god awful nickname is fruit( i mean its tamil translation pazham :P), baby or some crap like that.. if you take the dark side u get fame and fortune and have fun doing it too... but of course since i belong to the other camp i dont quite agree with all of the authors views... but it makes a good read.

Death to telemarketers

I actually have nothing against them. But these days they're just a pain in the butt. 3 calls a day for buying retirement plans(i'm just 19!) to a number i haven't even given to friends.
hence posting this. the credit for the article goes to techenclave member imranis. i really didn't want to rip it in entirety but i feel this should be spread!

chutti tv

i'll admit it. the main reason i actually watch it is because its very difficult to say no to a younger sister. esp. when they give the sad morose look on their faces. :P but i have to admit chutti tv probably has good content and the right mix of home-brewen and adapted content. sure the dialogues are corny and comedy slapstick. but u have to applaud them for producing regional content that isn't boring to watch. and i love translated he-man and other hanna barbera cartoons which were the very reason i bought a tv way back in 30th june 1996(it conked exactly 10 years later!). great going guys at sun network!
