Crazy thinking...

I’ve been thinking different things at times. I wanted to keep my brain active when I don’t have much to do at work. Below are the two questions which came to my mind. I just thought of sharing it with you and get some answers too..

I was reading some share profits in “Google Finance” and I saw 10% raise on a share. Then this question came to mind, Say if your asset is increasing by 10% on each day or transaction and in the next day the 10% profit will get added to your asset. The same sequence continues for every day or every transaction. How many days or transaction are needed to make the initial asset double?? Will that be same irrespective of what the initial amount is or will it varies? If you didn’t understand the wording of my question here is an example, your initial asset on day one is 10 and it’s increasing 10% on each day and how many days will it take to make your asset as 20? Does the number you come up with is same for any asset? In other words, Is it same for 100, 132213, 1243242?

My second question has come to mind this morning, we have seen many dual role movies where the hero and his son, or the hero and his dad will be the same guy and looks exactly the same. Have you come across any real incident like this? First of all is it genetically possible? If it’s not possible then we have been fooled by our cinema world for a long time just for the sack the hero wants to do a dual role!

Now you guys might have guessed how boring I am.. :)

BTW, for the first question the answer is 8 times and it’s 15 times if the increase is 5 % and it’s 9 times if the increase is 9 % and it’s same for whatever the initial asset is. I hope my math is not wrong!!

Please somebody answer my second question..

என் தாய் மாமன்!

சின்ன வசுல இருந்தே நான் கேக்கறதெல்லாம் வாங்கி குடுத்தவரு!

எனக்கு துணி எடுத்து குடுக்கறதுல இருந்து தீணி வாங்கி குடுக்கறவரைக்கும் எல்லாமே பார்த்து பார்த்து பன்னுனவரு!

என்னோட இன்ஜினியரிங் கவுன்செலிங் முதல் காலேஜ் பாக்கற வரைக்கும் கூட வந்தவரு!

இன்னும் ஞாபகம் இருக்கு, நான் என்னோட பனிரண்டு வயசு வரை அவோரோட பேர சொன்னது இல்ல, எனக்கு அவர்மேல அவளவு பயம்...

அடிக்கிற கைதான் அணைக்கும்னு சொல்லறமாதிரி, என்ன அதிகம் அடித்தவரும் என்மேல் அதிக பாசம் கொண்டவரும் அவர்தான்..

என்னோட அப்பா என்ன அடிச்சது கிடையாது, ஆனா என் மாமா அடிச்சா மட்டும் ஒன்னும் கேட்க மாட்டாரு, ஏனா என் அப்பாவுக்கு தெரியும் என் மாமாவை தவிர வேறு யாராலும் என்னை அவ்வளவு செல்லம் குடுத்து வளத்திருக்க முடியாதுனு!

தொழில்ல எவ்வளவு பணம் போனப்ப கூட நான் இருக்குறேன் உனக்கு என்ன வேணும்னாலும் என்ன கேளுனு சொன்னவரு..!

இன்னிக்கு உயிரோட இல்லேங்கிரப்ப அத என்னால நம்ப முடியில..

நான் அவர கடைசியா பாத்தது எட்டு மாசத்துக்கு முன்னாடி, அப்போ கூட அவர்கிட்ட அதிகம் பேசுல.. கடைசியா என்ன பாத்துட்டு போனப்ப என்னானு சொல்லாம கண்ணுல கண்ணீரோட போனாரு!!!

இதெல்லாம் நடக்கும்னோ என்னவோ, நாம இதுதான் நம்ம அக்கா மகன கடைசியா பாக்கரதோனு நினச்சு அழுதாருனு தெரியில..

எனக்கு எல்லாம் பாத்து பாத்து பண்ணுன அவருக்கு நான் ஒண்ணுமே பன்னணுது இல்ல.. கடைசில அவரோட இறுதி சடங்குல கூட கலந்துக்க முடியாம போயிருச்சேனு நினச்சு அழுக மட்டும்தான் முடியிது... எந்த ஒரு பலனுமே எதிர்பார்க்காம எல்லாம் பண்ணுன அவருக்கு நான் ஒரு கடனாளி என் வாழ்க்கை முழுவதும்!

Raavanan

It's not the best of Manirathnam’s I’ve watched and it could have been the worst, but it’s not just because of the camera work and few of the spectacular scenes like Aiswarya’s jumb, final fight on bridge, and the last scene AR’s background voice. One of the worst dialogue's I have seen in his movie and it's none other than Suhasini. It was definitely tough subject to show on screen but he could have done it better. I didn’t feel watching Mani’s movie and I was disappointed. Santhosh sivan has done a splendid job and it’s one of the best camera work I have seen in Tamil movie and just for his work you can watch this movie once more.

Back to work - When?

This is the first time I took a long break from my work and literally still it’s continuing. I went for a vacation to my home for three weeks and I had to extend it for one more week since I got typhoid during that time. It helped in one way that I could stay in home with my mom and dad for longer time. But now it’s really driving me crazy since I got a disease which may transfer to others, so I have to get the medical clearance before I go to office. Luckily I got an appointment on a first day and the doctor asked me to take some tests and it’s supposed to be ready in two days but still I am waiting for the result to come.

To find out whether my report is ready I’ve called my doctor this morning and the reply is a big NO. After I had cut the call, immediately my doctor called me and said, “I forgot to say you that you have to take few more tests, so can you go to the Lab and call me back?”. Bad luck, I went to the Lab which is couple of miles away from my home, on a normal day it’s an easy drive but when you have a record high snow it’s really difficult. After a slippery drive I’ve reached the lab only to see a board which says “We are closed due to the weather, Sorry for the inconvenience”. Bad luck becomes Bad luck², now I don’t have an option except waiting till the next day for few more new tests.

I don’t know have an idea when I am going to get the report, until then I can’t go to the office which is really making me lazy and lonely, that too after spending a month with my family.

Movies

Weather has spoiled our X-mas plans and it’s also spoiling our new year plan, we didn’t have much choice than going to bowling and movies. I’ve seen few movies and here they are,

Twilight (The New Moon)

For the sentiment and lack of pace I was thinking that this movie has been copied from some Tamil movie. I could relate few scenes with Kadal Konden, but the sets and other stuffs are great and most of the people are liked. Even though I am not a big fan of vampires I didn’t hate this movie. But I won’t recommend watching this..

Blind Side

I always like the movies which are brought from the real story and this is one among them. Everybody has acted well and it’s a huge hit here. I believe everybody wants to help others like Sandra Bullock did in this movie and that could be one reason all liked it. “Big Mike” and the kid have acted so well and off course Sandra was too good.

Invictus

“I am the captain of my soul” is the famous dialogue of this movie. It’s a real story of Nelson Mandela and his countries Rugbee team winning the cup. As always, Morgan freeman’s acting was too good. He is perfect to play the Nelson Mandela’s role and Matt Damn didn’t have much to do except his South African accent. The movie is so slow but it’s worth watching to get to know the few characteristics of one of the legends of this era.

Sherlock Holmes

Until I was stepping out of our room to go to this movie I didn’t know that, there is a story book called Sherlock Holmes and which was so famous. The movie has started little slow and it was getting interested as it progressed. The science has played major role in all the investigation. The amazing thing was the set to bring back the 18th century in the screen, which was too good except that nobody is alive today to say whether the 18th century is same as the one which is shown in that movie. I wish I want to be intelligent as Sherlock Holmes and as I said it’s just a wish.. :)

And finally the Avatar,

Even in a dream you can’t imagine the visual effects of this movie.. It’s the best graphics that I’ve ever seen and I heard that the director was waited for the technologies to get advanced to take this movie. That could be one reason why it took 10 years to take this movie. Kudos’s to the visual effects team who brought the directors visualization in the screen. Again in this movie I tend to relate to a Tamil movie were love and sentiments and climax fight and only kuthu songs were missing. And also the believe of god in other plant which makes us stupid. In fact the climate has been tried in Tamil long back as “கூடு விட்டு கூடு பாய்றது!”. This movie is a delight to watch in I-MAX with 3D and it’s already breaking the records and it will break all the records sooner.

That’s all I have watched in the last few weeks and wish you happy New Year to all. I am greatly exited about my trip to India next week.
