		<description><![CDATA[My non-tamil speaking friends often take a dig at me regarding typical tamil spellings of non-tamil words.
Tamil does not distinguish phonologically between voiced and unvoiced consonants;
phonetically, voice is assigned depending on a consonant&#8217;s position in a word.
Of all the 18 or so official languages in India, only tamil has this peculiarity of not being able [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nullpointers.wordpress.com&blog=4418727&post=361&subd=nullpointers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Its been quite a while since my last blog.
My laptop crashed.  Perhaps RAM got corrupt. Yet to hear from Acer service.
But this isnt the reason for not writing for a while.

Here are a few

This is a post of different nature. Nothing technical and everything personal.
The last 30 days or so had been a very hectic phase of my life. What started as a simple hospitalization for a innocent looking back pain steroid injection ended up in a life or death coma during the sixth hospitalization.

After saurav and kumble, guess it is my turn to give some news.
Having played for the HM! club since Feb 2007, few Tests (big projects) and many
ODIs (bug fixes, small features), I have decided to declare my innings with the HM! club.
I would play my last ODI on the tenth day of Dec 2008.

Last week we moved our Live server from our Old data center to a new one. The data center is in a remote location and we had to manage the show remotely ( of course, some one was out there physically moving the machines).

Earlier, when I was was working for Big S, an ERP major, I was pampered by the eco-system.
One&#8217;s area of work is so compartmentalized that you hardly get to know anything outside unless you make conscious efforts to do so. Help is very easily available and it denies &#8220;learning the hard way&#8221;.
