Just Dial Services!

I still remember after about 7years how i used to find out addresses and phone numbers of what ever cinema theatres, restaurants.companies in chennai in less than a minute! Be it when we plan to go for a movie suddenly, or for reserving a table in a restaurant we plan to have dinner we always had only one number to call and find out. Yes, i am talking about just dial services .

You get phone numbers of what ever company,cinema halls,hotels,hospitals,etc in just few minutes.
To get the above mentioned inofrmation just dial 3999 9999. Its just a local call.

I believe this service is applicable for everyone in India..Atleast in big cities like chennai, bombay,calcutta,hyderabad,etc.

Until recently i thought thelephone was the only way to reach them. But only now did i realise that they also have an online portal in which one can actually search for contact numbers easily!
And thats not all! They even have this facility to send the information to your mobile or email!
They have got their own tool bar that comes in two versions , one for IE and for mozilla.

They also seem to have specific search engines for movies and dining.

Music Academy concert

I attended Unni Krishnan's concert at the Music Academy and it was with no doubt an excellent concert. His notable renditions were from Thodi and a Ragam Thanam Pallavi in Bilahari.(If i am wrong somewhere please correct me!).

One wierd thing that i noticed today was that the crowd seemed less dense than what it was last year. And i have a lot of suggestions for music academy for which i will dedicate a separate post soon. Unni's concert got over at 6.45 sharp but i noticed that people actually left the premises at around 6.15 to 6.30 during the thani avarthanam . It was so rude that people actually leave in the middle of the concert. When will people realise that its such a disgrace to the accompanying artists?
As i started giving my opinion to the maami sitting besides me i got to know that the people are actually leaving so that they can still catch another kutcheri at another sabha...

Lunch at Music academy ?

Today was another normal day. I reached Music academy at around 2pm and i had'nt had lunch yet. Lucky for me i got tickets to Unni Krishnan's concert! I was so hungry and i wanted to have proper food. So i chose to have lunch at the canteen itself. The food by Padhmanaban and his team was good although the quantity seemed very less. I still cant believe how people actually get satisfied with just one small serving of sambar sadham or whatever! I mean, it was like as though they carefully counted the rice for every serving!
So dis satisfied with what i had at the canteen, i then went to hot breads near by to try something different for lunch. It was only after i reached there i realised that place wont suit my "Middle class Madhavan " budget! But nevertheless i knew no other better place there near music academy within walkable distance to have lunch.Well i guess if i start telling you about how dissatisfied i got there too! So to conclude, if you are a person who is very hungry and still want to finish your meal within 50-100Rs near music academy, then trust me music academy canteen or hot breads is most probably not the place for you!
But i should hot breads make really good pastries!

Vijay TV - Kadhalikka Neramillai

Vijay TV - Kadhalikka Neramillai

Today i would like to blog about vijay tv's all new series and much talked about "Kadhalikka neramillai"

I normally hate the tamil serials . but never the less i always appreciate the title songs they generally choose for the serial's title song. Thats how i actually started watching sun tv's chithi. i likesd nithyashree's voice so much that i would make it a point to watch just the song everyday.

Similarly i came across this song "ennai thedi"(Title song for Kadhalikka neramillai) when i was just switching channels. It was the time when vijay tv started campaigning for the serial. Its actually different to see a tv channel spending for publicity for their soaps all over the city! Its something new to us chennaities. And it shows how much of viewers the channel actually expects and how good they are ready to actually make a proper soap.
I havent actually started watching the show but the song does seem very catchy.
The music for the song has been scored by MD VIJAY ANTONY. And i shd say the vijay an vijay combination has worked out pretty well. But its wierd that they do not put the name of the person who has sung the song.

The song sounded wierd initially and i felt it had too many unnecessary modulations . But now i just cant get the song out of my head.
I have the mp3 version of the song.click the following link to download it to your computer.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KMUR489E

Its a proper clear quality and its any day better that the quality you get in vijay-indya site.
its compressed in 128kbps and since my speakers suddenly producing stereo output , i am not sure if its mono or stereo.
Do leave me a feed back abt the song quality. I will try to equalise it to a better quality and upload it soon.

This reminds me of the serial "Anbulla Snehithi" in sun tv that was telecasted years back. The title song was sung by Chinmayi. That was one mind blowing song! The song is available at some sites but not of very good clarity. If any one has the better clear version please mail me at shankore@gmail.com.
The version i have is not very clear and the amplitude of the song suddenly varies few second after the song starts to play.

Here are a few snapshots from kadhalikka neramillai

BlogThis! ?

Well people, its been quite some time since i posted my last blog.
With the next festive season fast approaching, every thing around me seems just as usual except that i have become more lazy and to make it worse the december month which is characterised by cooler and shivering niights , has with no doubt made all of us chennaities more lazy!

Over the past few weeks i have found out new ways to get more information from quite a few websites.Yes... now news.google.com is my start up page so i get to see all my recommended stories by google first.
Now with this site i get to see what i want.I am a gadget freak! Even if i actually dont buy lots of gizmo stuff i do atleast make it a point to know something about them!

And I found out only today that google tool bar actually has an inbuilt link "Blog this!" that enables bloggers to post their blogs at ease. With no doubt google is awesome! Now i think i will be able to blog more easily and especially for slow computers like mine that takes ages to just load firefox and not to mention the pressure on my processor to load all those java scripts for each site, i think typing blog into a simple pop-up window is such a boon for me!

Well thats all I have to say for now. Catch you guys later...
