My budget was 3000 and these were the list of books I bought in 2008 mostly techinal and one management book. I did a lot of R&D and read Jolt awards to arrive at a conclusion. JSP book my personal choice.

The Essential Drucker - The best of 60 years or Peter Drucker's writings
Software Estimation - Steve McConnell
Using UML - Perdita Stevens with Rob Pooley
Agile Estimation and Planning - Mike Cohn
Expert one on one J2EE without EJB - Rod Johnson
Head First EJB
Head First JSP Servlets (However, JSP published by O'Reilly author Hans Bergsten seems to be the best JSP book if you dont want to buy the Head First JSP)

The biker heros

Its always been a problem with these biker heros. The simplest modification they do in their Yamahas and Pulsars is remove the mud-flap. This really causes lot of inconvienience to others.
Yesterday I saw a biker hero roaring in his Pulsar in the rain ravaged muddy, marshy roads of Bangalore spilling dirt on the kid who was sitting in the front of his father's bike. When caught in the traffic signal and said he has spalshed dirt on his kid (on eyes and all over the body during going to school) the biker replied, "come in car if you dont want to get these kinds of dirt on you or on your kid". How inhuman the words!
I felt very bad on hearing these words. Today it was he, might be tomorrow for me, but the words will be the same, inhuman.
For me he didnot appear a hero, he looked like a ravaged zero, which prooved me how he was born and brought up! Such people often dont know what is heroic. He appeared only as a rowdy. Just muscle and mass is not heroic. Heroism is not racing fast on public roads, or with mud flaps removed. Heroism is not talking inhuman. Heroism is just opposite to rowdyism.
I still feel very bad about these kinds of bikers. Everyday there is some or the other. Some times these bikers. Othertimes, the rich guys who drive their cars irresponsibly, with jarring sound in their car as though driving a radio station. Also splashing water on others being in the car. Add to it the call taxi drivers who drive very very bad. It looks so odd guys, it does not make others feel good. Will law enforce peace by punishing such bikes and cars drivers?
Would like to add to it, not just these guys, auto drivers are one amongs these who doesnot have mud flaps and speak very disgusting.
Hey Zeros ... Dont forget you too are going to get married and have kids... you too might not have money to buy a car and take your kid in it. What you sow is what you reap! Wait on you will have your bad turns or better correct and be human and show importance to others. Live in cosmos and not chaos.

Kuselan - projected as Rajini's film

Got some time to watch Kuselan ... the remake of the Malayalam film "Katha Parayumbol" which is a classic. The original version has the Malayalam Mega Star as the part of the story, and its an important role for Mamooty. But Kuselan is projected as Rajini's film for commercial purpose, while it is Pasupathi's movie. Superstar's stardom has eclipsed the good story line of the movie. Pasupathi has acted well.

All contoversies revolved around whether the movie will be released in Bangalore in particular where there are lot of Tamils and other Movie Fans from where the most part of money comes in. As a result Rajini apologied for his "General Statement" during Hogenakal issue. And again this "apology" from Rajini for "General Statement" was projected in Karnataka as "Rajini asked sorry for what talked during Hogenakal issue" and finally the clearance was made to release the movie in Karnataka.

Clearly, this shows Rajini has already got into Politics. To say something and later revert back is what politician does. Frankly, what he talked during Hogenakal issue was bit more, and when he wants "money" he has apologized. I would appreciate this apology when he would have said immediately few days after the Hogenakal issue.

Definitely am a fan of Rajini, that does not mean am a fanatic. If you read
this site you will see lot of comments about the movie.

Finally the movie is frankly not worth to watch in INOX ;-) The last 15 minutes made people cry, sentiment! And the last scene is good. Even in the posters we are able to see everyone in B&W except Rajini.
