Ho mare na marta hai, peeche jo padat hai, chhode nahi sala
Idli appam sambhar khao
Quick Gun Murugun ke gun gao
Ye hai rebel without a cow mind it…mind it mind it
Easy easy brother nao
Apna pichhvada bajao
Dhishoon dhishoon aur Dhishkyaon yo mind it…mind it mind it
Kutta bhonke bhau bhau

Abe yaar Quick Gun hai, cowboy hai…excuse please!

ढिशूम ढिशूम और ढिश्क्याओं यो माइंड ईट…. माइंड ईट … माइंड ईट
आर तु टार तु आई बाला को टाल तु
इसके यार फंडे हैं घटिया और फालतू
भेजे का नूडल तेरा बनेगा, इसको अगर तु चुनेगा
एकवेडे मीटर फ़ेल, या तु मुर्दा या फिर जेल
हो मारे ना मरता है, पीछे जो पड़ता है, छोडे नहीं साला
इडली अप्पम साम्भार खाओ
क्विक गन मुरुगन के गुण गाओ
ये है रेबेल विदाउट अ काऊ माइंड ईट…. माइंड ईट … माइंड ईट

I completed 28 years today. Starting the 29th year of my life.
I met my wife 20 years back when I was in grade 3!
Left the school 13 years back
Completed my education 8 years back
Started my company 4.5 years back
Been married for last 2.5 years
Its been a wonderful life. Boy another couple of years and I will be in the thirties! Time is flying!
What lies ahead? Who knows, live the life as it comes.
I say, Mind it! Boy its a mindless laugh riot! Quick Gun Murugun is one heck of a movie. Its utter nonsense, but thats where it clicks! It doesnt try to make any sense and takes you a ride, where my cheeks started paining after laughing. It’s got all! The movie draws a lot from classic Hollywood movies – Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Matric, Terminator, X men and the quintesseltial cowboy movies!! The gun fight will put Neos and Rajnikants of the world to shame. The punch lines oh boy – they are killer – “Tereko khali road nahi mila?” Asks Murugun to Rowdy MBA and we see they are standing on top of taxis on a jam packed road for a one on one gun fight!! Yem Bee Ye…Yem Bee Ye!
Director Shashanka Ghosh has done a very good job and the movie with all its non sense is very detailed. Murugun applies Haldi Kumkum to his bullets before the final showdown with Riceplate Reddy and you can see the Haldi on the bullet wounds of his victims. Just put the rules of physics aside for 90 minutes and you will enjoy it for sure!
Indian Cowboy is on the lose…….rascala…..mind it!
Know Latitude/Longitude of any address in the world
In: Fun| Programming
30 Jul 2009I have been using Google maps in quite a few projects off late. getting lat/long co-ordinates of addresses for test purpose has always been a tedious job, so I just put together a small application to find the Latitude, Longitude values of any address in the world using Google maps API.
The Find Lat/Lon app is at http://uconomix.com/LatLon.aspx
Here’s a screenshot of the app:

Real purpose of an entrepreneur
In: Entrepreneurship
5 Jul 2009Read this article Find Your Purpose by Roy Spence on Entrepreneur.com.
The author is talking about the purpose of an entrepreneur. He says entrepreneurs should think about improving peoples lives and not about making money. To an extent he is right, but rest is BS! The guy is trying to sell his book! Purpose of the business is to make money! Entrepreneurs get in the business to make more money! Not because they want to change the world!
Roy says if you think about improving people’s life, create value for them the money will follow. I agree with that – nobody’s gonna pay you for a product that doesn’t solve a problem. BUT I don’t agree with the ideology behind that! It’s a simple fact that you should make what you can sell and not the other way round. The motivating factor is money! Not some inner desire to improve the world and blah blah! Nobody gives a damn whether you start a business or not!
Entrepreneurs have two motives – fame and money. The notion of making a difference, improving people’s lives etc are driven by these two motivating factors. I want fame, recognition and I want to be rich? How? Okay people have this problem, lets solve the problem and I will make money. Most of the entrepreneurs think that way. Its not like oh People have this problem, lets do something for them. Such people are rare and they start Wikipedias and Craigslists of the world, not Googles or Microsofts or Apples! People with such noble intentions go and do relief work in Africa, not start companies.
When people sell you something they don’t want to improve your life! They want to improve their own lives by improving your life!

Tendulkar said he was disappointed with India’s failed title defence but at the same time felt the fans back home needed to show more “responsibility and balance” in their reaction.
“I feel there is very high emotions among the people when they react. But do these reactions help us to play better? Not really. These actually put more pressure on the players. We have got to be mature and be with the team,” Tendulkar said.
Dude since we have high emotions attached with this game, you and your ilk are so rich! Look at players of other sports. We are emotional? Hell yeah we are! you win, we’ll make you god, you lose, we’ll burn your effigies! We are like that. Take it or leave it! You have been playing for 20years, you should know better by now! Don’t teach us how to be good fans, learn to play better cricket!
