Chirunavve navvuthu lyrics - Oy

The music for oy, starring Siddharth and Shamilee is given by Yuvan Shankar Raja. It is a good album.

This is one sad song in the movie sung by KK.

These are the lyrics written by Vanamaali.. :)

chirunavve navvutu naakosam vastaavani.. chiguraashe reputu nee premanu testavani..
ninu vethikane nanne taki, naalone aara teesi, niluchunnane ne kai veche dooranne aaradhistu.
prathijanma nee thone, Im waiting for you baby..
prathijanma nee thone, Im living for you baby..

chirunavve navvutu naakosam vastaavani.. chiguraashe reputu nee premanu testavani..


Nuvvu nenu ekam ayye premallona, ponge pralayam ninnu nannu vanchinchena
povve mullai kaatestondaaaaaaa, neere nippai kammestundaaaaaa.. vidhi naina veleyana ninu gelicheyanaaa..
neekosam neereekshinaaa o oo hoo .. im waiting for you baby..
prathijanma nee thone .. Im waiting for you baby..

premane oke mate, amelo gatinchinda, veedani bhayam edo gundeni tolustunda..
aa oohe tanamadilo kalathale repenaaa.. vidhinaina veleyana.. ninu gelicheyanaa..
neekosam neereekshina ooo ho ooo .. im waiting for you babyyyyy..


chirunavve navvutu naakosam vastaavani.. chiguraashe reputu nee premanu testavani..
ninu vethikane nanne taki, naalone aara teesi, niluchunnane ne kai veche dooranne aaradhistu.
prathijanma nee thone, Im waiting for you baby..
prathijanma nee thone, Im living for you babyyyy..

There is another song 'Seheri' for which I like the lyrics will try to post it..

Service Experiences - ICICI Bank

I had an interesting experience with ICICI bank.  It all started one day when they tried to make me a subscriber for their automatic bill pay service. They perstered me a lot of times saying that they provide a free bill pay option from my credit card to Airtel mobile. Though, I was paying my mobile bill from airtel website using ICICI credit card pretty easily, after they asked me lot of times to use that service I opted in for their service. They said it was absolutely free of cost and no charge but in my April card statement I got a charge for that for 100 rs. I called their customer care number and asked. They denied to refund it or cancel it saying that they sent a notice in November bill saying that the terms of using the automatic bill pay service were changed and I will be charged 100 anually for that.  I explained that though I didnt require that service, on their persistent pestering, I just accepted to try out their service which was free then and hence I dont want their services at all. I also argued that if there are changes to the terms and conditions then the existing customers should give explicit consent to that or they can choose to opt out. After arguing for sometime, a customer service executive called me and said that they are refunding my money and that my service will be deactivated. 
Though, they overzealously charged me for the service i never wanted, I was happy overall that atleast they were will to refund my money and the relationship thus strengthened. 

But the story didnt end there... After one month, a service person from ICICI bank calls. He asks me about the missed attempt of theirs to charge me for the automatic billing service. After explaining the whole situation to him, he asks if he can deduct the charge from my reward points... !!! I negated him and asked him how the two are related. One is a service I never wanted. Next is one which you promised, you will give me if I purchased with your card. i never asked for the reward points but that might have influenced me in choosing you as a my preffered card provider.  How can you go back on your promises? And how can you take advantage of the fact that I am already subscribed to a service and start charging for that service without taking my permission?? 
I understand the crunch banks are under. I understand the way the current credit card system might be unsustainable but that doesnt mean that you can run over your existing customers. Brainstorm a new business model, explain it to your customers, giving them to switch over to that or opt out. As I value my relation with ICICI bank, if I really feel that the bank requires to do what it is doing, I might as well switch over to your new policy but till then dont try to charge for free services or dont deduct from my reward points. 

Hope you take notice. Did any of you face similar experiences with banks? Feel free to post it.

After The Elections - Omissions in Electoral Rolls

First two phases of elections are over and some other states are still to vote. 

As these elections were happening after the Mumbai attacks, there was a lot of awareness and people were in the mood to vote. But it seems Mumbai registered below 50% voting. While people lament the absent voter syndrome, people like Rajesh who worked hard to increase the awareness of the political process, couldnt vote because of his name not being there in the electoral rolls. Questions were asked if it is because his open support to BJP. I am not sure but I am far from satisfied in the preparations of electoral rolls.

The problems start with registering your name in electoral rolls. 
The process is so cumbersome. I had applied thrice to get my name enrolled in the rolls. Though some initiatives like Jaago Re have helped in making the process easy, there is a lot to be changed. 
I had to go to the registration office to give my application. I have applied twice online but there was no way to know the status of that.. The application was thoroughly unusable. They ask for username and password to search electoral rolls. Why? 

One of my friends, though unwell, but interested in voting had to scour three polling booths near her home only to find that she was unable to vote. But she has voted in the previous elections, even Rajesh Jain says that he has voted in all the past elections. How come their names were removed this time? Do we need to register again every election season? What a waste of time and resources. These things will frustrate us no end and make us loose interest in the whole process. 

Agreed they could have checked their name in the electoral rolls prior to the election day but what could they probably do if they found that their name was missing- they have to apply again and anyway they couldnt vote this time. 

How to solve this? I think it is high time the single national ID is introduced. It will make the multiple IDS redundant and making of the electoral rolls very easy. 

Loksatta advocates the use of Post Offices as the nodal agencies for preparation of electoral rolls. As post offices cover very small areas and the post man knows his area very well they can just verify if all the people belonging there are available for voting and update accordingly. Rather than people having to apply and being clueless about the whole process, this would ease the process very very much. As soon the address of a person changes, he should place a request for change in address, which the post man verifies and all the required records are updated, his name should be removed from the electoral rolls of the old constituency and updated in the new constituency. 

Before the election, once all the voters are allowed to inform about the ommissions and additions that need to be made and then after verification from the post office, these can be made. They can send mails to existing people to confirm their prescence in the constituency and if they dont confirm it their names are to be removed. This way everyone will know that their name exists in the list or not and they are not surprised on the election day. 


I think this change is not far considering the experience in this elections. If BJP comes to power in this elections, they have implementing national ID in their manifesto, hope they implement it and we have hassle free voting the next time.
