Hindi & Me

I dont know for good or not, Im currently moving around with mostly hindi guys.My roommate is a Rajasthani,90% of colleagues speak hindi, so when Im with them I try to understand hindi.There was this conversion which made everyone laugh, but when i questioned(the logic?), none of them were able to answer.

I was having tiffin in canteen,

Guy : Kaisa Hai

Me : Achi Hai.

Guy : You must say Acha Hai, its masculine gender.

Me : Crap, Gender for thing? explain me why achi hai is wrong.

After several attempts he fails to convince me.I asked the same thing to many mates,everyone was laughing but none of them could convince me.

One guy tried by saying,

If he asks Kaisa Hai, You must answer Acha Hai,

If he asks Kaisi Hai, You must answer Achi Hai,

Now I replied, then how should i start asking. We spoke for almost an hour about this. In English & in Tamil AFAIK there is no gender for non living things(objects). We ask How is it? Epdi Irukku? et al. How / Epdi doesnt have gender.

Can any hindi speaking person convince me on this. The answer may change my thoughts on learning hindi and can motivate/demotivate my learning desire.

OTH, We had a nice laughing session and that guy will never talk to me in Hindi.. lol..

PS: I tag this post with Tamil lol

Computers & Movies

While i was stumbling i came across these links which covered about the hackers in hollywood, servers in movies, coding in hollywood . Well quite a few of them were really funny like

Code is only in green text on a black background

code is inherently cross platform : In independence day, whatshisface-math-guy writes a virus that works on both his apple laptop AND an alien mothership?

Man those guys are million times better.

Cut the shot.Back to Kollywood TamilNadu, India. Lets see the relationship between computers and heros here.

Though directors havent ventured much with computers, the preliminary (read  only) purpose to use computer is to search a criminal from records.Let me give you few examples.

1)Captain Vijaykanth’s comedy is endless.Let it even be one of the best movies by him,he never fails to entertain.In the movie Ramana he gets a floppy disk from his student.Puts in his PC, Windows media player opens(a video plays) and he tries to enter something(trying to query for criminal) and gets the info and decides to nab him.Wow awesome.Only captain can run a 3 minute video from a floppy disk,Only he can type something and get results in a windows media player.

2) Anniyan tried to use the web much like 4 Students did but Anniyan was worse and 4 Students was better.One must watch the anniyan website scene.No words to describe it. lol

3)Citizen was another great comedy.Ajith would be a serial killer killing people with a fake identities that no one would ever know.When CBI suspects him and raids his place,they find an astonishing evidence in his PC. It will have a presentation of all his identities and the list of persons he is going to kill/already killed.Why in a world would a secret serial killer make such a presentation and keep in his system.Is he a CEO and ppts are his day in & day out?

God knows when these crazy filmi people catch up with computers!!
