Spiderman 2 - A peek

Its our friendly neighborhood Spiderman. This time, he is back to fight new villian Doc ock. If you think the story is going to be another explosive and demoltion plot, think again. For the film promises more emotional scenes rather than pure action.
Attention!!!! Sequel makers of super hero films, this is a film to remind you that people want something more than simple action. We need a story line with more emotions. The Story writers have made their part very well by giving a very good storyline to the new adventure of spidey.
Peter Parker struggles to run a normal life. He loses his job, misses classes, gets lower grades. All because of his inner being responsibility, Spiderman. He is on the verge of losing his love. Its time for our hero to make a choice. Its either Peter or Spidey. The spidey suit is put in the garbage(Oh! spidey).
But how can the superhero film run without Spiderman? It cant. Right. Spidey is brought back into action by the villian Doc ock, a multi-tentacled menace. He makes a deal with Harry Osborn, Peter's best friend to get Spidey in exchange of metal for his project.
Things go faster and higher then with webs flying all over the sky. The most remarkable scene is the fight between our spidey and doc ock on the train. Like the trailer rightly says that the hero will be revealed, spidey is revealed. But then, public promises to keep the identity secret. Choo chweeet of them.
The film is more of revelations with Peter confessing the cause of his uncle's death to his aunt, Hero being identified to Harry and MaryJane and Harry looking at the green goblin's suit in his father's(first part villian) room.
At last, our hero holds the hands of both his love and the web. If you think this is a fairy tale that ends with "And they lived happily ever after....",you are wrong. The director drops a scene with Harry and Green Goblin giving a hint that The game is not over and the web will spin again.With Great powers comes great responsibilities. And spidey tops the chart once again.

Ups:
*The action scenes are more realistic and camera movements will take you to the ultimate spin.
*The storyline touches your heart and melts your feelings along with pumping up the adrenaline.

Downs:
* Makeup was forgotten and Kirsten Dunst looks older in many scenes.* Spidey falling from some 100 storey building and just saying "OUCH!" is too fictional even for a super hero.
* The dialogue at the end was not at all nice with Mary Jane just saying "Go get it tiger" to our spiderman. Some importance could have been given to make some impression creating dialogue.

Where Am I

Sorry for not blogging for a very long time folks. I must not say I was very busy all these days. Its the laziness in me. Also no more free internet here. So really frightened that the phone bill will raise my uncle's temper ( I browse from my uncle's computer only) to the max. Anyway, I will keep blogging here afterwards.

I am a studious person

Its time to divert all my concentration to studies now. The semester exams are nearing. Its on April 7th and I haven't prepared anything for it till now. I just realised that there are five subjects and i have not studied much of it. Days are gone where our staff will give the questions and we will study the answers in 1 to 2 hours. We have to study everything. That makes me cry. Anyway, I am a strong willed and confident person. And I can make it easily. So bye friends. Dont disturb me. I am studying... I said I am studying. So you too start studying....

Yeah!!! Yeah!!!! I am still here

Here is my message to everyone, who thought my blog is dead. As I was a bit busy with the college work especially the placement work, I couldnt find time to sit alone to write in the blog. Atlast, Here I am writing a short note to say

"I AM BACK"

The final

It is now or never. It is the final project presentation. The external was from Kongu engineering college. With a lot of hard work, we completed the project on the previous day only. I even designed a single setup file that will help to deploy the project in any sytem easily. One thing I didn't finish is the Project presentaion slides. I was too tired to work on it and wanted my projct mates to make it. They somehow managed to make some slides but still it is incomplete.
The worst part started when I found that I have to setup another server to show the redirection module. I wanted a system with two com ports which is only in Cisco. We went there immediately and with great luck, found one and started setting it up. I wanted to make sure that our main server is running properly. But to my worst fear came to life when I found that my project is not working. Someone have changed the date and the component we are using is expired. I thought I am lost. I felt some bad feeling in my head. i was in the height of tension. To add fuel to the fire, the external was firing questions to the students and all are standing unanswerable. He was complaining every project and he was not satisfied with most of our friends project.
I started checking the codes again and again, still couldn't find the error. Frustrated, I checked it in other system. The biggest problem I found was that my project will work only on Windows XP. We dont have any system with two com ports and Windows XP installed. I then turned to the current problem. I was working on the code tensed. our HOD came to me and asked whats the problem. When I told him what has happened, he was shocked. He was so kind to give us the permission to show our presentation at the last. After a lot of confusions and tensions, I made the code back to working in an hour. Phew! Atlast, I did it.
Our slot came only in the afternoon. When we started the presentation, Tirupur was talking first. He first started blabbering and then slowly he picked up his words properly. Even our HOD was helping us in the presentation by explaining the significance of our project. He then asked what tool did u use for text to speech. When we answered Microsoft speech, he was not convinced and compained that the speech will be of American ascent and we have to use Indian english. Again tensed about his questions, we somehow managed the situation. When we took him to show the project demo, he told us that he wanted to hear the voice. When we told him that he have to move to the next lab to hear the voice, he again complained, but this time for fun. Then he went to the next lab and heard the message. He found it interesting. He said that the first message was very clear than that of the second message. My friend replied, "sir, the first message was my voice and only the second was computer voice". We all laughed and he went out to see the next project satisfied with us.

Thanks to our HOD for helping us in finishing our project successfully.And of course, Thanks to our junior friend Gangadran for giving his modem to work on our project.

Project completed successfully. Deployment ready. Hurray!!!!!!!!
