rmvb subtitle
I was trying to run a chinese movie in rmvb format using media player 123 and was unable to see the english subtitles that was available in the same folder.
On some search, it turns out to be a simple trick to turn it on.
The movie name and the subtitle name should be the same
i.e for eg: your movie name is Punarjani.rmvb then your .srt file should also have the same name i.e Punarjani.srt
Thatz all , mine were different.
Cheers!!

That phone call..
Everything in my life is in a “Business Wait” mode now. My expected assignment, my search for a new job, my search for a new girlfriend.. everything. Since there is nothing much to do in the morning, my sleeping routine has also changed. Sleep late and wake up late is the trend for me these days.
As I was lying half asleep, ready to wakeup in my bed, my telephone rang. I checked the number to find it as a unknown local number. I picked up the call.
She: I am ….. calling from Airtel, is this Mr.Genius?
She had so sweet a voice and that very moment I fell in love with that voice.
Me:Ok Hi, it’s me.
She: We have this offer, blah blah and this is what it will cost you for an yearly package.
It was a bit large sum, and I couldn’t hide my surprise for that
Me:What??!! Can you repeat the amount please??
As a reply I could hear a whisper like giggle. That sounded sooo nice, that all my sleep just vanished in a second and boy , she made my day.
She: the amount is X…
We continued to talk about the package, but inside me there was a sudden and unavoidable urge to know her name. Finally I asked
Me: What did you say your name is?
She: Anu Preethi…
I could have continued the conversation and I wanted it so badly. Her voice was like a refreshingly cool breeze flowing over your face, kissing your closed eyes. Being a natural stupid, I said.
Me: Ok Anupreethi, I am not interested in the package now.
She: Ok that is alright, Have a nice day.
Normally I disconnect after this. But this time I went like.
Me: You too have a nice day ahead.
I couldn’t simply disconnect the call , I was so much excited by the voice. I continued to hold the line, like an idiot. To my surprise , she too didn’t disconnect, we kept the call like that for say 3 more seconds. Finally I disconnected the call. She was expecting me to say something I think, or is it their protocol?
Whatever be it, for some strange unknown reasons, I know, she too liked me.
Hmmmm…Life is so confusing .It never gives a direct signal. I really want her to call me again and I swear to God that I will let her know that, she got so lovable a voice.
I really like these (annoying for someone) calls from telemarketing people. To be more precise when it is from girls who got a good voice and good English. Somehow it refreshes me.
Oh yeah, stop looking at me like this, with that stupid smirk on your face. I know , it is time for me to find a girl!!

Bangalore Bomb Blast
Yesterday, I was half way through my written test for a job, I overheard somebody from the other cubicle shouting- “Bomb blast in Bangalore, check out the news, check the website”. Then I heard a macho saying – “Guys, call up your mates in Bangalore and see if your buddies are dead or what”. Sadist coward macho I would say.
Blasts, tortures, crimes, killings, rape are all over the media that people are so comfortable talking about it without any feelings. I think this is because it has never affected them, or their loved ones. For anyone who is taking all these so lightly ,listen - someone like you ,somewhere near or far has lost someone so dear. He/she won’t see him/her for the rest of their life. Their lives have suddenly changed, insecurity has crept in, they fear to move around freely. Life will never be the same for them. And God forbid that happens to you.
And to the terrorists – OK guys! You have proved that you can blast a bomb; you can disrupt the life in Bangalore and kill the innocent people. Now let the guys who have nothing to do with your politics or agenda, what ever is it, live on. Why don’t you radicals join hand and try to change the politics and the society in a better way than spilling hatred among them? Why don’t you use your arms and brains for something useful to the world?
Guys, you are leaving behind a world in a condition worse than what you inherited from your parents!!
