குத்திக் காட்டியது – என் தமிழ்


தாத்தாவின் மூக்குக் கண்ணாடி
கை தவறி விழும் முன் சொன்னேன்
‘Sorry ‘ தாத்தா என்று …!

தூங்கும் போது கழுத்து வரை
போர்த்தி விடும் கருணை – தூக்கத்திலும் சொல்வேன்
‘Thanks ‘ ம்மா என்று …!

நாளை நண்பனின் பிறந்த நாள் – இன்றே
வாழ்த்து அட்டையில் எழுதினேன்
‘Happy Birthday da’ என்று …!

காலையில் நாளிதழ் படிக்கும் பொழுது எதிர் வீட்டுக்காரர்
அவர் சொல்லும் முன் முந்திக் கொள்வேன்
‘Good Morning Uncle’ என்று …!

கோயிலில் பத்தாம் வகுப்பு சிநேகிதி கணவனுடன்
அவள் பேசும் முன் முடித்துக் கொள்வேன்
‘Hai’ என்று …!

மாலையில் கடற்கரையில் என்னவள் – மணலில்
அவள் விரல் பிடித்தே எழுதுவேன்
‘I Love You’ என்று …!

இரவில் …
வீட்டிற்கு செல்லும் வழியில் – காலை
குத்தியது முள் …
‘அம்மா’ என்று அலறினேன்

குத்தியது முள்ளில்லை – என்னை
குத்திக் காட்டியது – என் தமிழ்

தமிழனின் வெற்றிக்கு வாக்களிப்போம் !

நம்ம மதுரையை சேர்ந்த இவரை பிரபல CNN நிறுவனம் “உலகின் தலைசிறந்த 10 ஹீரோக்கள்” அப்படிங்கிற போட்டியில் இவரையும் ஒரு வேட்பாளராக நிறுத்தி இருக்கிறது.....!!

தமிழர்களாகிய நமக்கு இது மிக பெரிய பெருமை.

இவர் ஏதோ அரசியல் தலைவரோ, சினிமா துறையை சேர்ந்தவரோ, பெரிய தொழில் அதிபரோ இல்லை. 'நல்ல மனித நேயர்' இதை விட வேற சரியான வார்த்தை எனக்கு கிடைக்கவில்லை. சக மனிதர்களை எல்லோராலும் நேசிக்க கூட முடியாத போது இவர் மன வளர்ச்சி இல்லாத பலரை வாழவைத்து கொண்டிருக்கிறார் ....எந்த விளம்பரமும் இல்லாமல்.......!! இது மிக பெரிய விஷயம்.....!!!

யார் இந்த கிருஷ்ணன்...?!!
சமையல்கலை படிப்பு படித்து தங்க பதக்கம் வாங்கியவர் இவர்....பல விருதுகளையும் பெற்ற இவர் சில காலம் பெங்களூரில் பிரபல ஹோட்டலில் வேலை பார்த்தார், பின்னர் சுவிட்சர்லாந்தில் வேலை கிடைத்து அங்கே செல்வதற்கான ஏற்பாடுகளை யதேச்சையாக வழியில் ஒரு திடுக்கிடச் செய்யும் காட்சியை காண்கிறார். புத்திசுவாதீனமில்லாத ஒரு 80 வயது முதியவர் பல நாள் உணவில்லாமையால், தன் மலத்தை தானே எடுத்துண்ணும் கொடுமையான காட்சி! உடனே நம்மைப்போல, அருவருப்புடன் ஒதுங்கிச்செல்லாமல், கிருஷ்ணன் ஓடிச்சென்று அருகிலுள்ள கடையில் இட்லிப்பொட்டலத்தை வாங்கிக்கொண்டு வந்து, அந்த முதியவரின் கைகளை சுத்தப்படுத்திவிட்டு, தானே அந்த இட்லியை ஊட்டிவிடுகிறார்! அதற்கான சன்மானம், அந்த முதியவரின் பனித்துப்போன கண்களுடன்கூடிய ஒரு பார்வை! இந்தச் சம்பவம் அவரின் சராசரி இளைஞரின் கனவான “ஒரு பெரிய ஓட்டல் முதலாளியாவதை” தூள்தூளாக்கிவிடுகிறது!
இந்தமாதிரி புத்தி சுவாதீனமில்லாதவர்களுக்காக உதவணும் என்று இவர் முடிவு செய்த போது இவரது வயது வெறும் 21
இப்போது 29 வயதாகும் கிருஷ்ணன் அவர்கள் காலை மதியம் மற்றும் இரவு ஆகிய மூன்று வேலை உணவையும் கிட்டத்தட்ட 400 புத்திசுவாதீனம் இல்லாதவர்களுக்கு தினம் அளிக்கிறார் .... !! இத்துடன் முடிவது இல்லை இவரது வேலை....அந்த மக்களில் சிலருக்கு முடிவெட்டுவது, நகம் வெட்டுவது தொடங்கி அவர்கள் இறந்து விட்டால் கொல்லி போடுவது வரை இவரது தொண்டு நீள்கிறது.......!!

இப்பணிக்காக அவருக்கு கிடைத்துள்ள அங்கீகாரம்தான், 2010 ஆம் ஆண்டுக்கான உலகின் தலைசிறந்த பத்து ஹீரோக்களுள் ஒருவர் என்னும் உயரிய பட்டத்துக்கான போட்டிக்குத் தேர்வானது! சி.என்.என். தேர்வு பட்டியலில் இடம்பெற்றதால் இப்போது 25,000 டாலர்கள் பரிசுத் தொகை கிடைத்திருக்கிறது. இந்த ஆன்லைன் வாக்கெடுப்பில் முதலிடம் பெற்றால், கிருஷ்ணனுக்கு 1,00,000 டாலர்கள் பரிசுத் தொகை கிடைக்கும். அது, அவரது கனவுத் திட்டத்துக்கு உறுதுணை புரியலாம்.....!


கிருஷ்ணனுக்கு எப்படி ஓட்டு போடுவது
இவருக்கு எப்படி நாம் ஓட்டு போடுவது என்று பார்ப்போம். இந்த லிங்கில் செல்லவும். உங்களுக்கு கீழே இருப்பதை போல விண்டோ வரும்.
http://heroes.cnn.com/vote.aspx

இதில் நான் கட்டம் போட்டு காட்டி இருப்பது தான் நம்மாளு அவர் படத்தின் மீது க்ளிக் செய்யுங்கள்.
உடனே அவருடைய படம் கீழே இருக்கும் காலி கட்டத்தில் வந்திருக்கும்.
அடுத்து உங்களுக்கு தெரியும் இரண்டு வார்த்தைகளை அந்த காலி கட்டத்தில் சரியாக நிரப்புங்கள்.
அடுத்து கீழே உள்ள VOTE பட்டனை அழுத்துங்கள் அவ்வளவு தான் நம் தமிழனுக்கு உங்களால் ஒரு ஓட்டு அதிகமாகியது என்ற பெருமையோடு அந்த தளத்தில் இருந்து வெளியேறுங்கள்.
முடிந்தால் உங்கள் நண்பர்களுக்கும் இந்த தகவலை தெரிவியுங்கள். நவம்பர் மாதம் 18 ஆம் தேதியோடு ஓட்டு போடுவது முடிகிறது. அதற்குள் மற்றவர்களுக்கு தெரிவிக்கவும்.

நன்றி : ராகுல் குமார்.

Bom Sabado! a new Orkut worm

Orkut infected with a new Worm Bom Sabado (Good Saturday).

If you open any infected profile it will run a script which will join you some communities. And will send scraps saying "Bom Sabado" with an Iframe which have the scripts. to all the contacts to all your friends.

So even you open the orkut it will affect your account too , since the latest scraps are showing on your profile.

To stop this the current option is to block tptools.org, www.tptools.org, convites.001webs.com which have the hosted scripts. this is not a assured block since the worm may host the script in some other address, then again you will get affected by this worm.

Best way is to run the orkut by disabling the Javascript.

So what I prefer to do is not Log in to Orkut for 2 or 3 days, by that time Orkut will come up with any solution for this Bom Sabado! Orkut virus.

Make your PC healthy and fast with this tips.

Hi.
1)CCleaner.
This is a very good freeware software which cleans the registry and deletes the junk files. You just need to install the software and click on scan. When I used it for the first time, it found a whopping 50mb of junk files and lots of registry errors. Remember, registry is like the main register for the PC. If the registry remains clean and free of errors, then your PC will be fast. Do not download other registry cleaners as they are themselves SPYWAREs. So always use CCleaner. I recommend to use it once a week.
CCleaner.

2)
Other thing is to manually find temporary files. To do this follow the following two methods:
i)Start--> Run--> Type : %temp%
Delete all the files permanently, your PC will get a quick boost of speed.
ii)Start-->Search--> Specify to include all hidden files--> search for ".tmp" (without quotes.)
Delete all the files permamently.
3)
If you are low on RAM or have many high-end softwares, then it would take much time for booting.
If you are fed up with long booting time, then you can try to disable those applications which are not needed at startup. Just enable those which are needed by you. To do this follow this steps:
i)Start-->Run-->Type "msconfig"
IISelect "Startup" Tab.
iii) Now deselect all those apps which are not needed by you at startup.
iv)Click OK and restart your PC.

If you have other problems or want more tips, then just comment at below.

COMPUTER VIRUS INFO.

What Is A Computer Virus, Anyway?


Combating infections and removing viruses is now big business. Lesson one is 'knowing the enemy'.THE ENEMY - Crackers and HackersGeeks make a distinction between crackers, who break into systems to do damage, and hackers who enjoy taking programs apart just to see how they tick. We'll stick with the more common, though less accurate, term of hacker. (The term 'hacker' originally meant 'someone who makes furniture' with an axe. Crude, but effective - like most computer viruses.)Viruses are actually a particular type of computer 'malware' - a general term covering all types of malicious software. The most common types are viruses, worms and Trojan horses.VIRUSESA virus is usually hidden inside another program such as an installation program delivered via e-mail attachment. (Biological viruses require a host organism to live and reproduce, hence the name.) When the 'host' program is run, the virus program also runs. Once it's in memory the virus is able to do its dirty work, which usually includes infecting other programs.After the infection stage of the virus, there's a destructive stage. The virus waits for a pre-determined trigger (such as a specific date or a certain number of times the virus has replicated itself) before delivering its 'payload'. Payloads range from simple messages to file deletion commands to destruction of the core operating system.When first developed, computer viruses were commonly distributed on floppy disks. With the growth of the Internet downloaded files and e-mail are the preferred delivery mechanisms. E-mail can contain attachments which can be any kind of computer file. Any executable file can be infected with a virus, and shouldn't be run unless you're confident they're virus free. WORMSWorms are similar to viruses in that they're self-replicating. They reproduce themselves across networks without human assistance, such as e-mail sending. A worm, though, doesn't need another executable program to be distributed.Worms usually affect networks more than individual computers on the network. Their self-replicating behavior can overload network resources, causing slowdowns in data transmission by consuming massive bandwidth normally used to forward normal traffic. Network systems that route Internet traffic are just specialized computer hardware and software. They, too, can be affected by malware.Worms can also be designed to carry a payload, using a 'backdoor' installation program. A backdoor is a hidden access point to a computer that bypasses the normal login procedure. They're commonly used by spammers to distribute junk e-mail, for example.TROJAN HORSESTrojan horses are the third common type of malware. A 'trojan' is a program that pretends to do one thing but actually does something different. (The term comes from the story of the Greeks who built a large wooden horse in which to hide. Their enemies, the Trojans persuaded they'd receive a gift, took the horse inside their compound giving the Greeks easy access to wreak havoc.) Unlike viruses or worms, a Trojan doesn't replicate itself.Trojans may be hidden in otherwise useful software. Once started they can do almost anything including erasing data, corrupting files, installing backdoors and logging keystrokes so that hackers can steal information such as credit card numbers and passwords.FIGHTING MALWAREElsewhere in the series, we'll discuss what is and can be done to combat the spread of malware. In the interim, just remember not to be passive and expect the problem to be solved by others. Fighting viruses requires active participation from vendors, webmasters AND users. New! Ezy-Internet Safety Guide is the perfect blueprint to the truth about Internet safety. Learn everything you need to know about making your computer safer, safety software that works and how to avoid all the nasty spyware, malware, viruses, worms and trojans.
