Kamal


I was just listening to "poo eduthu vaikkanum pinnale" - a song picturized rather tackily on Kamalhassan and Ambika. I could not help but remember Kamalhassan's expressions in the song. Man, he is SOMETHING ! (This post has nothing to do with his acting skills.) He was so incredibly handsome in most of the 70s/80s movies and also some 90s movies - "Kadhal parisu", "Nayagan", "Vikram", "Moondram pirai", "Kaakkichattai", "Devar magan", etc. In his recent movies, I cant think of any role that showcased his looks well. I wish he would take up some role in which he plays his age and also requires him to look classy ..... its a really bad idea to listen to this song when I am at work ...

Mobile Google Local

This is one of the MOST useful things I have used in a long time. Since I am new to St.Louis, I was always printing out directions from the computer. Now, I no longer have to do that. The GL for the blackberry got released last friday and its super-simple to use. I was using mapquest on my mobile browser before but that always took so much longer, there were formatting issues and frankly annoying to use. I am so impressed with GLM and I cant tell you how much I love it. In fact, the reason i bought my blackberry is that, in addition to email, the hope that there will be more great mobile products soon. I wonder if there is also a RSS aggregator specifically for the mobile that is good to use. Any?
