Happy Days- review, my view

A full length entertainer, as seen in all tv channels its a big hit of the season. As the big releases are not faring well, this can go bit higher too. Performance of new comers, direction and songs are very good. This said, there is some thing you expect and not present in the movie.

College life, when specified engineering, has many other things than girls. And that every thing else is left. It is sure that every one will have a crush, may be some will have a girl friend, and yes some might be ditched by their girl friend/ boy friend. But that alone is not college life, not for any student. There are many important people, things, events in college life.

The best part lies in hostel life, in the relation shared with seniors and later juniors, and all the time with staff. The fun being pet of few staff and being the most pointed by few staff is the last thing one can forget. There may be crush on some beautiful staff, but thats not all. The exams, copying, results, attendance and attendance shortage, bunking of classes... lots and lots. I miss that in movie from my expected list.

Then the relation with seniors. They are the one who give us the courage to go through difficulties, advise us on career and life and at times teach us the greatness of friendship. This is from them we learn the tradition of birthday bumps, engineering salute, bunking and many other things. The same we do spread to our juniors. Getting our records written by juniors, ragging them, inquiring about the girls of their batch... lots to say.

Even the too good songs in movie are not at right situations. The lyrics do not match the situation. They could have been utilised in much better scenes.

I feel Nuvve Kavali was a better college life, and love life. May be we can call Happy Days as Nuvve Kavali-2 or Meere Kavali ;). With no doubt it is as good entertainer and makes you nostalgic and a must see.

Notes

Some interesting software...

Every time I think I need to have a fast note of something, the option is to open notepad and save it. But I can't put and manage these notes every time, or I will end up saving .txts with numbers or short names depending on the info noted.

So I have searched for some desktop notes. I have used one that slides when you want to take note and hides itself once it's done. Few months later I moved to a new firm and thought to use sticky notes, found hottnotes interesting. Now I have moved to another firm again. Hottnotes gave some problem and is not starting up, saying dll missing. Also it's sticky notes and so the desktop gets messed with transparent notes. So thought to move back to the sliding notes.

Unfortunately I forgot the name. Googled many times but most of them are the stikcy notes kind of result. I have to move thru pages of search results and try few screenshots to find if its the one I am looking for.

Finally found this. The freeware edition is developed by and present at http://notes.aklabs.com/

You too may like it, a light weight and friendly notes with reminder facility.

I dont know why being good doesnt work

I have been fighting to claim full and final settlement from my previous organisation from past 4 months. No mail or phone worked out when I tried to be good. And now, I got a fast reply when I gave this mail. I dont know why people put a deaf year till it blasts.

Hi XYZ,

Its more than couple of weeks that you said you will revert in couple of days. Request you not to take my requests as helplessness. The salary from Jan is pending, and its bad to see that none cares to reply back. Inspite many mails, I see no reply from YYY till now. Please remeber that I am not begging.
Please close my dues asap, in week or so. Because the response is very embrassing, I may resort to legal procedures now if this continues.

Thanks
Vinil

MP3 cutter

Many times I find the music bits in songs very appealing and intersting, but all the time I try to cut that bit, I get a very bad solution. Free trial, that and this.

Finally I have found this, a very good open source cutter. You may find it interesting.

I use these bits mostly for my ringtones. May be this will not cater to all, but you have a option to have your music bits.

Happy Days

I am very much inspired by the music of this film. My eyes went wet listening to songs, and so thought to make a blog of my college days, happy days. I am making notes in a word doc and then blogging with that help. But ordering of episodes is getting tough. And I even donno how to narrate properly. Lets see how it goes.

As soon as I started writing, the obvious title I got is 'The Beginning'. And the next thought is whats the end. I got this line to end - and now after being in love twice, I am on the way to attend my friend Jana’s marriage. May be by the time I end the blog, I need to change the bridegrooms name ;)
