Thanjavuru Story - Join this Kalavani Club

STORY : The story of the movie is entirely based in village atmosphere( around tanjavur district). the story begins showing enemity between two villages.Its obvious to guess that hero and heroin belong to different villages . arike( vimal) being a crook, passes time with his friends spending lavish money that he demands at home or by many pranks he plays on villagers. maheswari (helen) is a high school girl, who happens to meet hero by a chance. The first half mainly shows how love blooms between them with constant dose of comedy between village panchayat( 'ganja' karuppu) and hero's gang.The second half , shows how friction arises between hero and heroin due to his friends. hero changes gradually. Their love strengthens. He wins his love by many difficulities, insipte of opposition from heroin 's brother. The story ends with a nice note of how the villages unite.

THE PLUS AND MINUS: The main strength of the movie is its story line and that its close to reality. vimal and helen deliver a decent performance. the other on screen performance s are that of ganja'karuppu' and the charater of hero's mother. music remains an average . So is the cinematography and editing, they surely would have been much better.insipte of lackins technical values the movie still manages to deliver a decent movie . U can watch the film for the feel-good factor and lite hearted comedy. Sure this one won't leave you disappointed.

Congrats ! Sania Mirza !!

Sania Mirza's message for youngsters
Melbourne, Jan 23: Sania Mirza hopes
that her performance at the Australian Open will inspire other women in India to
greater heights in the game

"This is the way I look at it: if I can do it, anyone can do
it, and I've had most of my training in India," said Mirza, who has become the
first woman tennis player from India to reach the third round of a Grand Slam
tournament.

Six-time Grand Slam winner and sixth-seed Serena Williams
beat Mirza 6-1, 6-4 in a keenly watched match at the third round of the
tournament last week.

India is yet to produce a world-class woman tennis player,
but that might be about to change with the emergence of 18-year-old Mirza.

Having broken into the world's top 200 women players in 2004,
Mirza hopes the impact of her performance at Melbourne Park will inspire girls
from all over India to strive for excellence on the tennis court.

"I'm sure and I hope that a lot of girls in India can get
motivated by this and now we do have a lot of talent coming up in India so I'm
sure it's going to help a lot of people," she told the tournament's official
website.

Asked about her experience at the Australian Open, she
replied laughing: "It hasn't been what I expected because I didn't expect to get
to the third round, so it's not really what I expected, it's been an
overwhelming experience."

"When I got here I just wanted to have a good draw, which I
did get. I got a wildcard in the first-round and I couldn't expect anything more
than that."

"Even though I was nervous and I got through that (first)
match against Cindy Watson of Australia, the second match I played a really good
match. She (Petra Mandula of Hungary) used to be top 30. I just had to go out
there and play my game, that's what I did."

"I mean, third round, obviously no-one expected me to win the
match; it's been a great experience and, for the first Grand Slam, I'm loving
it," said Mirza, who won the 2003 Wimbledon Junior Girls' doubles title.

"I was very happy with the crowd support; I didn't expect so
much actually. I saw a lot of Indians there, and it was packed. I didn't expect
that. I totally enjoyed every bit of the match and it really (was) a learning
experience for me," she explained.

Exactly how much of an impact Mirza's success at Melbourne
Park will have on tennis in India and around Asia probably won't be known for
some time. But the way she played, it is unlikely that she will need to rely on
wildcards much longer, the website said.

Observing how my world really is, from a new perspective.

The Beautiful Wor(l)d Of Lavanya -

Observing how my world really is, from a new perspective.

Desires are running
In my viens again
My mind dreaming
And fantasizing again
Of an Utopian world
And me free again
Heart wishing to belong
There once again
Go back to the same place
The same land
The same old faces
And the same smell
Once again
Will i be able to move myself
Once again
Move these feet and
My created world
And redefine?

Putting China in Touch with the Wider World

Using technology to become more nimble and agile is important for all companies today. But it is especially important for firms in China as they strive to establish stronger ties with business partners in the west and Asia

After giving presentations on service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web Services to companies at CeBIT Asia 2004, which took place at the end of April at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), Mark Glikson, Strategic Architect, Asia Pacific & Greater China Regions for Microsoft, said he was impressed by the sophistication of the Chinese. “They realise that SOA is important, that you can’t build buildings without planning them properly,” he added. Even before Glikson made his presentations, an experienced Chinese professor spoke in English about many of the issues the Microsoft strategic architect was later to raise in his presentations, particularly the relevance of SOA. Glikson spoke at the CeBIT Asia 2004 Software Development and Architecture Conference. The conference, organised by Masoud Kamali of Germany’s Herausberger dot.net magazine, also attracted speakers from SAP and Borland. The room was packed for both of Glikson’s presentations. The audience consisted mostly of system integrators (SIs), executives from MNCs and project managers. “Of course, we have our own Microsoft-organised events where we speak to people that we know already,” said Glikson, explaining why Microsoft participated in the event. “But there are many people that we don’t ordinarily touch base with. An industry event with multiple vendors is good to attend because we don’t want to just preach to the converted.” Glikson admits that he met a couple of SIs who initially were “very anti-Microsoft”. He sat down with them over dinner and discussed their problems. “They had developed a perception about what Microsoft is without actually researching this in a deeper way, which we find is quite a common and regular occurrence,” said Glikson. “By the end of the dinner, I think I had changed their perceptions.” Asked why he had decided to organise the Software Development and Architecture Conference at CeBIT Asia, Kamali said: “I have read somewhere that Shanghai alone needs 100,000 more software developers by the end of 2005. It is important for the world to find out what Chinese software developers are up to, and to put China in touch with the wider world.” He went on: “It was crucial to have Microsoft’s involvement because it is one of the most important software companies that set and push standards in the software industry. Every serious software architect should know about Microsoft’s road map for the future.” For Microsoft, the shift to services-based computing and SOA is the next major transition in enterprise computing after the move from the mainframe model to client-server computing, and then to the browser-based architectures of the Internet.

Kadhal

With a story that is as old as Tamil cinema itself if director Balaji sakthivel has impressed the audience and critics together, it is because of his innovative visualization, a totally non-filmy cast and capturing the nativity of the locations with minute detail.

Kathal as the title suggests is an ordinary love story where a school going young girl Iswarya the only heir of a local uppercaste arrack baron falls in love with a dirty and poor mechanic Murugan. Iswarya�s family fixes up her marriage with somebody from their own caste. Iswarya convinces a frightened Murugan that they should elope and they end up doing that. Only to be hunted back by Iswarya�s family. What happens to the young couple after this is the climax, which in spite of being the regular climax to such love affairs in real life in rural sides where caste and class differences between lovers are never tolerated. Nevertheless it is certainly a refreshingly new end to a Tamil film.

In the directorial side the film stands out for a totally new cast. Other than hero Bharath and his friend Sukumar everybody else is a new face, which gives the film a realistic feel. Many artistes like the woman who acts as Iswarya�s mother and her grandmother look like people drawn from a real household in Madurai where the film happens in the first half. The mechanic shed aide who is a small kid is another unforgettable portrayal, which from being a funny character elevates himself to an emotional plane when the hero decides to leave.

Kathal is a beautiful cinema thanks to Vijay Milton�s path breaking cinematography. While producing visuals of impeccable quality he elevates the whole visual language of Kathal to another level. The ambience shots and cut aways led so much authenticity to the happenings.

Music is done by newcomer Joshua Sridhar, the title song by Hariharan and �Unakena Iruppen� are good. The editor who is also a new comer has again done a commendable job. In all the director, cinematographer, editor trio have rendered a rustic conventional story full of emotions in the most modern narrative and visual language and mount without disturbing the authenticity of the story.

Bharath as Murugan is good and he probably is the only Tamil hero after Chappani in �16 Vayadinile� to appear as dirtily as possible. Sandya as Iswarya is poignant. While her ordinary looks are an asset to the film she amazes in the climax with a high voltage performance.

The only criticism on Kathal can be on the idiotic way Iswarya falls in love with Murugan. She attains puberty on the day when Murugan comes and scolds her. There is a line in a song that comes after this �event� �Nee Parthavudan Nan Poothu vitten�.

7 - G Rainbow Colony

Simply Superb..... Excellenct

The breathtaking trailers of Tamil film "7G Rainbow Colony" had been a fixture on TV channels for quite some time now. The music of the movie has also been one of the biggest hits of the season. Walking into the theatre to watch the movie at last, flooded by memories of Selvaraghavan's last creation, I wondered whether "7G Rainbow Colony" could ever measure up to "Kaadhal Kondein".What strikes one first about "7G Rainbow Colony" is that its hero, Kathir (played by Ravi Krishna), is no archetypal Tamil film hero. He is an average, rather uncouth and rowdy, lower middleclass Chennaiite. The kind of person, who never draws a second glance from women. He is the quintessential underachiever who frustrates his father by performing disastrously in every examination he takes. He spends his time drinking, smoking or behaving raucously in theatres with his friends. Anitha (Sonia Agarwal), whose family has suffered a serious financial reverse, shifts into Rainbow Colony -- a decidedly lower middleclass neighbourhood -- and occupies the flat below Kathir's. Mercifully for the viewer, the result is not love at first sight! And love, when it does bloom in Kathir's heart, is not the formulaic love that one usually witnesses on the silver screen. In fact, Kathir's long, silent stares and his dogged pursuit of Anitha accurately mirrors the almost obsessive infatuations often seen in school and college campuses in these parts.

Though Anitha's feelings towards Kathir do ultimately change, it is thankfully gradual and believable. The feeling of repulsion that viewers feel towards Kathir also gradually changes as the movie gets on. Anitha then helps Kathir rise out of the ocean of mediocrity and achieve something tangible in life.Sonia Agarwal is undoubtedly the star of the film. She looks ravishing though a little on the buxom side. She has portrayed to perfection the harassed, young girl with a staid middle class values.Unprepossessing and ordinary, Ravi Krishna's character doesn't stand out in a crowd and is just one among faceless millions. Though Kathir's three other friends appear in a large number of frames in the movie, their faces don't stay in the viewer's mind - an indication that Selvaraghavan has successfully managed to portray them as the kind of people who, in real life, receive no second glance.The songs drag on a little too long but the music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is excellent. The background music, though a trifle loud at times, lends itself to the narrative, which in turn is fast-paced and engrossing.

Selvaraghavan's directorial venture after "Kaadhal Kondein" can be given an emphatic thumbs-up. He has managed to weave together a touching movie, which brings tears to one's eyes at moments. This movie is definitely among the best released this year, and must not by any means be given the go-by.

Permission View Tool

Permissions View Tool is shipped with .Net FrameWork. This tool is used to view the Declarative and Requested permissions set on an assembly.

So let us create an assembly set some requested and declarative permissions on it and view them with Permview.

Let us start by creating an assembly and setting some Requested permissions on it.

1) Open a new WindowsApplication.2) Add a button to the form named Button1.3) Add a Class to this Application Named MyClass.4) Add a method to this class named Add which adds to numbers and returns the result.5) In the Button Click event of Button1 call the Add method of the MyClass as shown below.

MyClass myClass = new MyClass(); MessageBox.Show(myClass.Add(1,2).ToString());

6) Run the application. click on the Button and you will get the result as "3".Now we will add requested permission to this assembly.
7) Go to AssemblyInfo.cs and add the below lines

[assembly: FileIOPermission(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum,Write="c:\\")][assembly: UIPermission(SecurityAction.RequestRefuse, Window = UIPermissionWindow.AllWindows)]

By setting these permissions we say that to execute this application minimum write permission on C: is required. Along with that we have also requested an another UI permission which refuses to show any windows on the screen hence no forms or message boxes will be displayed.
8) Run the application. The form will not be loaded instead you will see the below error message:

Additional information: Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.UIPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.3300.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.

9) We can vew the permissions set on an assembly with permview.exe.10) Go to VS.Net command prompt and go to the folder which contains your application exe.11) Type the following command :permview WindowsApplication2.exe 12) You will see all the permissions set on the assembly as below:

minimal permission set:
optional permission set: Not specified
refused permission set:

13) Since we have set RequestRefuse permission for UIPermission we were unable to see the form so let us change that to RequestOptional as follows :

[assembly: UIPermission(SecurityAction.RequestOptional, Window = UIPermissionWindow.AllWindows)]


These permissions on the assesmbly that we saw were erquested permissions on the assembly. Permview is also used to view declarative security on classes or methods.
15) Let us add Declarative security to our MyClass as follows:

[PrincipalPermission (SecurityAction.Demand, Role="Administrator")] // add this above the class declaration

16) According to the above permission only those users who belong to the "Administrator" role will be able to instantiate this class or call any method on this class.
17) Let us view the declarative security of this class.18) Go to the VS.NET command prompt and type the following command : permview /decl WindowsApplication2.exe.

Note : - "/decl" shows the declarative permissions set on the classs and methods of the assembly.
19) You will see the class declarative permissions (as shown below) along with the requested assembly permissions.

Class WindowsApplication2.Class1 NonCasDemand permission set:

20) You will be able to execute the method call if the current user is an Administrator on the machine.

In this way we can use Permview.exe to view the declarative and requested permissions set on any assembly.

There are 3 types of requested permissions which can be granted on assembly :

Minimum permissions: (RequestMinimum) Permissions your code must have in order to run. Optional permissions: (RequestOptional) Permissions your code can use, but can run effectively without. Refused permissions: (RequestRefuse) Permissions that you want to ensure will never be granted to your code, even if security policy allows them to be granted.
