I don’t know how many of you noticed that my blog went down temporarily and just got it back up today! Woohoo… I’ve had so many rants.. so many stories… so many articles… so many things went untold. I’m not gonna let that happen again. Here comes the drums.. Here comes the drums…

Came across this beautiful video of the Sunnmøre region of western Norway. Found this video at Neatorama. Thought this deserves another mention.

Leif Holland captured these magnificent shots from a helicopter zooming around the peaks of the Sunnmøre region of western Norway.  A majestic reminder of the beauty of tall, massive rocks.

Recently came to know about Give India, an NGO that strives hard to eliminate illiteracy among poor. Anoop has written more about their initiatives what support they need from us.

As I have always been saying education is the best thing you can give another human being. Information leads to intelligence and lets help as many people around us with that by voting for Give India. I encourage every one who even just stumbles upon this blog for the very first time to take 2 mins off your time and vote for them. You can find more information about this in Anoop’s blog but I’ll paste it here as well.

“We can blog and vote to save these children as GiveIndia has done the hard work of being our “Man-At-Arms” . they are India’s most trusted and credible NGOs, GiveIndia is taking part in a competition on Facebook to win a US$1 million grant. The winner will be the NGO that gets the highest number of votes from Facebook users. The prize of $1 million will help put or keep 40,000 children across India in school for one year!
But then again, social media has this unique habit of changing the scene over night .. So all is not lost! and here are some details:

Well, the NASSCOM conference ended yesterday. The indiblogger team was there to attend some of the sessions and the speeches. We were tweeting about the events and speakers live – which you guys might have already followed.

Day 2 was not as eventful as day 1. Guy Kawasaki was leading a twitter session explaining how to use twitter. The session was quite basic and I believe all those who are new to twitter had a great deal to info to take home. However, for advanced users the session was boring and some people actually started walking out!

Since we didn’t find too many interesting sessions yesterday, we stayed by the poolside networking with few product companies and some social media companies.

Also we visited the expos and learned about some interesting products that are yet to be launched and some of them just new to India. You can find more information on some of these products here at Indiblogger official blog.

We had left a little early post lunch so we can get back productive with our work after 2 full days of conference,discussions and networking.

I need to mention this though too – The Indiblogger team members were actually attending the meet with new Indiblogger T-shirts that read “INDIAN by birth; BLOGGER by choice”. And this attracted a lot of companies and people to find us and network with us easily. That T-shirt was a hit!

Here is a song that heard recently in the movie “Naan Kadavul”. What an amazing song. Just couldn’t resist but publish this song in my blog. After a very long long time, one inexplicably amazing song.

Pichai Paathiram Yenthi Vanthen
Aiyane En Aiyane
Yaam Oru, Pichai Paathiram Yenthi Vanthen
Aiyane En Aiyane
Pindam Ennum, Elumbodu Sadhai Narambu
Udhiramum Adangiya Udambu Enum
Pichai Paathiram Yenthi Vanthen
Aiyane En Aiyane
Pindam Ennum, Elumbodu Sadhai Narambu
Udhiramum Adangiya Udambu Enum
Pichai Paathiram Yenthi Vanthen
Aiyane En Aiyane
Ammaiyum Appanum Thanthatha
Illai Aadhiyin Val Vinai Soozhnthatha
Ammaiyum Appanum Thanthatha
Illai Aadhiyin Val Vinai Soozhnthatha
Immaiyai Naan Ariyathatha
Immaiyai Naan Ariyathatha
Siru Bommaiyin Nilayinil Unmaiyai Unarnthida
Pichai Paathiram Yenthi Vanthen
Aiyane En Aiyane
Pichai Paathiram Yenthi Vanthen
Aiyane En Aiyane

Athanai Selvamum Un Idathil

Athanai Selvamum Un Idathil

Oru Muraiya Iru Muraiya
Pala Murai Pala Pirappu Edukka Vaithai
Puthu Vinaya Pazha Vinaya,
Kanam Kanam Dinam Enai Thudikka Vaithai
Porullukku Alainthidum Porullattra Vazhkaiyum Thurathuthe
Un Arul Arul Arul Endru Alaikindra Manam Indru Pithatruthe
Arul Vizhiyal Nokkuvai
Malar Pathathal Thaanguvai
Un Thiru Karam Enai Aravanaithu Unatharul Pera
Pichai Paathiram Yenthi Vanthen
Aiyane En Aiyane
Pindam Ennum, Elumbodu Sadhai Narambu
Udhiramum Adangiya Udambu Enum
Pichai Paathiram Yenthi Vanthen

From what I read this song is written and composed by Ilayaraja. Hats off! I’ll try to add the mp3 soon.
