A Romantic thief

KD (A Romantic thief), one of my expected films was releasing this 24th Sept. My expectations are not on the hero, heroin or any other, but on the young Director A.M.Jyothi Krishna, who gave a beautiful movie Enakku 20 Unakku 18 in 2003. After 3 years gape he has come with a different movie KD. His dad A.M.Rathnam being a leading producer in kollywood, so he would be having full freedom. KD was expected to be a romantic and action film. Jyothi Krishna was a young director with much talent. I like his last film E20 U18 by the way it was taken. It was a neat love story were the hero and heroine are interested in each other after the chance meeting on the train and later run around in circles looking for one another. The picturisation of every scene dint mention as a new and young director took it. He was 21 when he debut as a director, and he wrote a story for the film Natpukkaga (Friendship) when he was 16.

The graphic on the songs, and the wonderful settings are entice me, the screenplay was very different. There was enough attraction in E20-U18 with its limit to watch with whole family. He was the first director to show Trisha a much beautiful collage girl. His introductions Trisha and Shriya, are leading heroines in Tamil Films. There is any mouth with out mumble the peppy song Alagina Alagi Askava…. the Yetho Yetho Ondru (some thing something one) song recalls the Poovukku Olinthirukkum… song form Shankers Jean’s. And how can I forget the youthful song Santhippoma (can we meet)… that disturbed me. There are much to tell about his film making and I think I am not surprise to expect the same from Jyothi Krishna now.

Already the songs of KD, which was composed by Yuvan, become my favorites, esp. the song Unna Petha Aathavukku (the mother who gave u birth) which was singed by Radio Mirchi Suichitra (wonderful voice she have) was my favorite and it’s a peppy song too. Another one Kunguma Poova Manjal Nelava… (Saffrin Flower, and yellow moon) has pure Tamil words. Every song is very different and wishes how it was picturised. One of the songs is picturised in a different manner with full of fights. Jyothi directed his younger brother Ravi Krishna as the hero and the film has two attractive girl;) as heroine, one was known as Ileana the hot of Telugu and the Tamanna, a super model on the small screen Ad’s, all lyrics was written by my favorite and national award winner Pa. Vijay. I am looking forward to know what different Jyothi Krishna has done in KD; I too got positive reviews form media. I expect it should be a family entertainment with youthful scenes.

Best Earth

Imagine living in a home where you generate your own energy, re-use your waste, and harvest your water from the rain? Where the furniture is made from recycled material, and the windows and walls so designed that the house is cool in summer and warm in winter? Where the bulbs use one-hundredth of the electricity that our ordinary light bulbs today use?

This seemingly impossible dream house is becoming a reality in many parts of the world. One full housing society, called BedZED, has just come up in London, U.K. and already over 60 families are staying in it. Bed stands for Beddington, the locality in London where it is situated, and ZED stands for Zero Energy Development. The entire colony uses no fossil fuels like petroleum and coal and oil. Rather, it uses a mix of solar panels; large windows to capture natural light, and a generator run on waste. These houses use only 10 per cent of the heating energy that is used normally. Passive solar gain stored within each flat by thermally massive floors and walls, reduces the need for both electricity and heat to the point where a 135 kW wood fuelled combined heat and power plant can meet the energy requirements for a community of around 240 residents and 200 workers.

Water too is sparingly used, after the rain is collected on the roofs. The bathroom toilets are designed to use only half of the wasteful amount of water we use in our normal flushes. Wastewater is treated at BedZED through biological means and re-used in the houses. All the families are also encouraged to adopt environmentally friendly lifestyles, e.g. using public transport and bicycles as much as possible, buying organic food, switching to electric cars, setting up office as close to home as possible to reduce transportation needs, and so on. The BedZED reconciles high-density three-story city blocks with high residential and workspace amenity. Workspace is placed in the shade zones of south facing housing terraces, with sky gardens created on the workspace roofs, enabling all flats to have outdoor garden areas, with good access to sunlight, at the same time as providing well day lit workspace without problematic summer overheating.

It is interesting that much of this does not use ultra hi-tech, but mostly common sense applications with and appropriate technologies. As many people working on such solutions will tell us, the thing most missing in our world is just that: common sense! For instance, a skylight (a window on the roof) is enough to bring in light into the house that we don't need to use bulbs and tube lights through the day. A lot of our traditional houses had such a feature is it. Or, it is so easy to put our wet kitchen waste into a pot and make it into compost (we can speed this up by using earthworms), which can be used in our or our housing society's garden.

So, BedZED may be in London, nowhere near where we live in India. But surely we can also start demanding that our architects and builders start using common sense and easily available technologies to make our lifestyles a bit friendlier to the earth.

The person who knows us better than others, we can share anything with them, and hope they are the best advisers in our personal life.

I like to follow my dad and uncle's way for a good friend, they are the first persons to stand on their friends, good and bad situations. I have friends only for last 1 year, before that my life was like empty. Some can see these blog friends as a friends who reads their blogs, share with letters, but they have personal friend, who share with them form childhood, schooldays, collage days, working days. For me I have no personal friends, to meet, go out, talk Frequent. I used to carve if some of my bro friends, call him, visit my house or go out with them.

Beware of Frightening

Our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh warned us recently that the Frightening of terror and anti-social are coming near. With in days our Prime Minister warned, that in the favour of foreign strength, some terrorist groups had planed to create big destruction, the sabotage has released its odour. A bomb went off in three places including a mosque in Malegaon, Maharashtra on Sept 8th, in this nearly 38 people were killed and over 100 injured had created a big shock.

The recent seize of 800 rocket shells, dozens of launchers and other arms in a truck in Mahabubnagar district of Andhra Pradesh has created a doubt on the nature of our security. From these rockets we can attack a particular place form a distance of 100 kms.

The special team of the Q Branch police which investigating this sounds these being sent through a truck to the Maoist guerrillas in Andhra Pradesh. Even a doubt have been raised by central intelligence section that these arms are presented to Freedom Tigers in Sri Lanka, but it was denied by the DGP of Andhra Pradesh.

Those Rocket launchers are manufactured in the chennai as hut business and distributed is another shocking news. The Q Branch police have made the investigation quickly. Because of this the police have arrested 14 persons in the industrial areas of Ambattur in chennai. The police claimed that Raghu who runs an Ambattur unit is deemed to be the main accused in this matter.

Now lots of questions have risen how many year’s these dangerous technical arms are manufacturing here? Where ever it was distributed? Who ever where involved in this conspiracy?…………. Not only the actions of Central and state government’s, even the public should be aware about this. The frightening will not only destroy the life and buildings even the hope on tomorrow’s humans. This is the biggest threatening of danger.
