Mobile Stats

I stopped capturing those packets and was day dreaming. My thought was grazing, I recollected my area of interest, In a grocery store when a customer buys bread there is more probability that he/she will also buy jam. So keeping those items close by will make more customers buy it. This is a simple association rule. One can analyze raw data and conclude on patterns. Meanwhile I received my mobile bill statement. It was interesting to look at the stats in it. I started Analyzing...

Local HH:MM:SS 02:27:02
STD HH:MM:SS 03:06:42
ISD HH:MM:SS 00:37:02
===================
Total HH:MM:SS 06:10:46
===================

This data seems to be fair. I got more people to talk outside the city I work. Also those dear one's who are across borders and sea2.

SMS - Local Messages 24
SMS - National Messages 6

These are spent in sending those forwards. Thanks peeps! You din get annoyed by my request. I guess I wont need them any more. :-)

National Roaming HH:MM:SS 10:15:47

Ah! Here is the twist. My total local talk time was 06:10:46 which is 4 hours less. I had been traveling so much? Actually not much. I had been off to wish this couple and celebrate time at home. I guess it would plunge this month, unless I make it to the annual get together vacation.

Next, I browsed thro all my contacts and picked up those probable contacts, I would have sms'ed or called. I did a search to see hit rate. (Hit Rate: Call+SMS)

Rank #1 - 140
Rank #2 - 77
Rank #3 - 34

Interesting again, Rank #2 is only half of Rank #1. Special Thanks to #1 and #2. Contrasting people! They made sure the month is not boring. Rank #3 is a median of several winners in the close proximity. Did you read your bill?

Movie Review: Ghajini

The movie meet its hype and expectations!

A movie that was spoken about so much during the post production was Ghajini. Ghajini is a re-make of Tamil movie கஜினி which was indeed a inherited version of Hollywood's Memento. But still Hollywood had its own class. This movie starring Aamir Khan and Asin had the same story line as its predecessors except the last 20%. Not just the story line its almost the exact same scene and dialogue. Even with my linguistic disabilities I was able to follow the whole movie. Aamir khan efforts at Gym has proved worth it. A perfect 10 for his abs. In my personal opinion Aamir Khan failed as an entrepreneur Sanjay Singhania. Its hard to visualize an MD wearing short sleeved formal shirts talking in the board meeting. He does NOT carry the charm of that role.


Guzarish: A killing Song... :-) :-P
BGM is a big plus to the movie. A R Rehman has once again proved and made me hymn the tune often. The cinematography of the songs are also good. Next big plus is the stunts in the movie. Be it the chasing scene or where he meets a bunch of rowdies, the stunts are done with good camera tricks and angles. Which apt fully matches his physic. Credits to the stunts team.

With all said you should not take your Girl Friend or Wife to the movie, you want to know why?

படித்ததில் பிடித்தது

அன்றொரு நாள் அம்மாவைக் கேட்டேன்,
"என்ன ஆகும் எனது வாழ்க்கை?"

கலைந்த தலையை காதோரம் ஒதுக்கி -
அம்மா சொன்னாள் அன்று,

உன் போல் நானும் பூச்சுமந்து நின்றதில்
நினைவே மிச்சம் -
வாசலில் போட்ட கோலம்
வழிபோக்கர் மிதிக்கலாச்சு,
கனவுகள் வேண்டாம் பெண்ணே!
நிஜங்களின் நிறங்களை ரசிக்க
நீயேனும் கற்றுக் கொள்க.
