Bangalore Life style

Bangalore – I always like the city for following simple reasons:
  1. It is very ‘cool’ all around the year.
  2. It has a rich look.
  3. More towards western culture.

Now, I doubt about point #1, as the temperature is increasing drastically. When newspaper talks about environment no body continues reading it (me too). Now, I realize it practically. Last year, this time, I was going out with jerkin. This year, couldn’t even sleep during power-cuts. It is sweating all over the day time. Sure, the environment started the revenge over people who spoiled it.

What can I think of doing some thing for this from my side? Thought of growing some trees. But where? I live in an apartment where everybody shares their wall with neighbors. The only space left for us is stair-case and terrace. Almost, everywhere it is the case in the city!

All I can do is just to recall the ‘Cool’ Bangalore and tell stories to children like ‘You know, once Bangalore was so cool and it was the climate what you see in Ooty and…’

Web Hosting companies – review

Here goes my review of hosting companies.

IxWebhosting.com

used their Business Plan service for hosting few of my web sites. The service offered by them is good. But, it is bit costlier when compared to other hosting providers. One drawback what I found with them is none of their hosting product includes unlimited mysql database space. I called up the IxWebhosting.com customer support and they responded that they can’t help with unlimited mysql space. But, their hosting products offer lot of utilities.

hostgator.com

Hostgator is comparatively cheaper. They offer unlimited mysql space, web space and traffic. I didn’t try their hosting service, but my one of my friends said their service was good. Even, I myself found lot of good reviews about Hostgator.com

1and1.com
I have not used their service, but heard from friends that their service is good. Hosting charge is reasonable, neither cheaper nor costlier.

Best 5 movies of all time.

I have been recalling the best 5 movies, I enjoyed watching so far. This is absolutely my personal rating out of all the ones I watched. There are even too good movies, but these are the ones I enjoyed a lot and willing to see again and again. Here goes the listing.

#1: Braveheart (1995) – The most touching movie.

The first thing in the movie that grabbed my attention is theme music. It is Bagpiper music with an unknown sadness. Then the dialogues – most bravery dialogues I ever read. And, then, a beautiful love that lasts only for short time. Very much liked the hero’s real brave heart that continuously fights for freedom. As expected the hero is killed, but his braveness is portrayed over centuries.

#2: Nayagan(1987) – Tamil version of GodFather

All glories to Kamal. I would rate that is a superlative performance of Kamal, out of all his actions. Movie is a complete depiction of a Don’s life right form his childhood to old age. With Maniratnam’s rain drop dialogues, the movie is one of the unforgettables in my life.

#3: Thillu mullu (1981) – Laugh out Louder

Actually, I watched the complete movie . The movie is 27 years old, but still I break out in laugh while watching it. There have been lots of full length comedy movies, but they still stick to formulas like – fights, sentiments, and etc. This movie is a clear exception – I couldn’t see any fight scene or serious scenes going in the movie. A complete full length comedy and happy ending.

#4: Anbe Sivam (2003) – Unhappy to hear it is not a hit!

Frankly saying, I didn’t watch the movie completely. But found it so good. I don’t understand why people thrown out this movie to go as a flop. I have not watched any such movies even in any other language. One really needs to be educated or to have lots of common/social sense to understand Kamal’s movies. He should have been very successful actor, but because of little complex stuffs in his movies, they are not hits! I am really unhappy to hear this movie was not a hit!

#5. Jurassic Park (1993) – Till date Thriller

I was a child when I watched this movie first time. It was a big thriller for me at that time. I still feel the same thrill ness when watching this movie even now! Thereafter lots of movies came out based on Dinosaurs and its kind of animals. But, they are not that good to compare with the former. The best thing about Spielberg is, he has been the first guy to make different skins of movies for firs time. Jaws, Star of Wars and this Jurassic Park are samples. I still love the sceneries and the island kind of landscapes coming throughout the movie. I still do not miss Jurassic Park, whenever it is played in TV channels.
