100 spits per minute = Madurai!

Whenever I'd praise Madurai people's helping tendency, others would ask me if I like their idlis or noticed anything peculiar. Like I already mentioned, I don't like Madurai foods.

This post or rather the title is offensive ! You have the right to your opinion ,agreed ..but judging a city on such baseless points is just stupidity .
I grewup in delhi, ooty ,kanyakumai , Madurai and now working in Chennai ...It's just sad that narrow minded blog posts like these floating on the net create a bad name for the city .

P.S: This post was brought to my attention by a friend from France planning a trip to madurai from chennai . He must have been very impressed ...thanks to you :/

Personally, I don't like these types of questions; I'd thought the person must apply ideas what he was taught in colleges--finally I came out with one question: A product vendor has Quantity Vs. Price data like 1 -> Rs. 50 2 -> Rs. 95 3 -> Rs. 140 .... like upto 1 million data. He wants a system, which gives the price when the quantity is provided. For example, if you provide the quantity value as 2, then it should provide Rs. 95. How this system can be designed? As expected, all the people said about using database tables and quering on quantity.

Humble Awards

When I was studying 10th standard, I had a bet with my friend Nalin that A.R.Rahman will become very famous (He was telling me that no one can beat Ilaiyaraaja ) Since then I thought about appreciating the people that I think are the best and finally here is the effort. Some people are yet to become famous--but I strongly believe and wish that they'll become famous sooner! Gaana Rahman - Gaana singer Dr. A.N.
