We talk so much

There is a way science and engineering work, you have a problem, you come up with a solution design, try it, come back again with a better design and try it… but the problem here is that we are not trying.. we are just talking and giving new solutions.. I am talking about climate change..

Books..
Sep 5, 2009 General, Technology
We are shifting to a new geo-location nearby, so I was stacking and packing all my personal belongings this Friday, and when I started to stack those books, it was quite tall…
I have realized that the number of books I am reading recently had increased, you see the pile is as tall as my CPU tower.
The best books that I would recommend are
* Code Complete – for general software engineering
* Head Start Servlets and JSP also Head Rush AJAX
* PHP In Action – (not in the pile above)
PHP In action was especially very good. I got this book assuming that it will help me learn hard-core PHP to help me get certified. But this turned out to be the other way around, this book took me through some of the fairly advanced concepts of object oriented programming and PHP became incidental just beacuse the book was titled so.. certaily it goes by the saying “A good solution can solve any problem” likewise “A good programming language book can be used for any language”

I am having a very hard time to getting to play these very simple tunes right, probably a lot more practice will help me in getting it right.
Song Video
This song is a classical masterpiece, only now ever since I started with guitar, I am able to listen to and relish the beauty of iliyaraja’s music.
I would also suggest ‘Iliaya Nila’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owiXDr1xQ8Y , this song is classic too, the guitar strip in the middle is just too good.

Geek and his Guitar
I joined guitar class recently, for reasons unknown I really wanted to do something which is not related to computer science, I have been trying different stuff for a long long time and after a fairly satisfactory performance at photography, I turned my eyes towards music, especially guitar because some of my college friends were talking about it and I recently (read as 6 moths ago) watched Vaaranam Aaiyram. That was the right time when Suresh and Mathu were talking about joining guitar classes and the rest is history ( or at least I will try to forge some music history books to talk about my guitar life.. )
Its been a couple of weeks since I have joined, looks like the only good thing I know about guitar is that I am able to hold it properly and have been able to pick the right strings. The last class I attended, my teacher got very tired because he had to spend a lot of time to get the rhythm right. You can’t blame him, he hasn’t seen me as a student before, he should speak to my college Maths/ECE professors or my school Tamil teacher, they probably know how hard it is to teach me something which I have no idea about. But the good thing about guitar, which it doesn’t share with Tamil or other hard(useless) things is that I want to learn guitar, and never in my life did I ever wanted to learn Tamil. So, lets see how far I go with this new exercise.
I am now able to play a couple of movie tunes to some extent that people are able to recognize these as some kind of music, although they were not able to guess what music it was.
And these are my goals
- I have to learn to play guitar really well
- I have to learn to play “En iniya pon nila ve” Song
- Gotta find the train in which Meghna (sameera reddy) is traveling, and the rest will be history
I am a firm believer in having simple goals .. he he
