Pidgin 2

Pidgin1

Pidgin 2.0 is the GAIM of the past. Really. The reason for this change is because of a conflict that GAIM had with AOL and it’s AIM messenger.

The new name sounds cool and unique at the same time. It somehow reminds me of Mozilla’s products(Firefox, Thunderbird). The interface is pretty much the same, still compatible with the vast array of plugins for GAIM.

One new feature that I love in Pigdin 2.0 is Buddy Pounce which displays alerts whenever a specific user logs on.

The interface is still as snappy as earlier and

Director: Anurag Basu
Genre : Comedy / Drama / Romance
Star Cast : Shiney Ahuja, Nafisa Ali, Dharmendra, Sharman Joshi, Irfan Khan ,Kay Kay Menon, Manoj Pahwa, Kangana Ranaut, Konkona Sen Sharma, Shilpa Shetty .

Well…. What’s life in a Metro all about? Its all about survival; a race to win at any cost and not a morning walk. There are extra-marital affairs, bride and bridegroom hunters, wives who sacrifice their future for family welfare, struggling artists, just to name a few, and the movie provides a taste of these experiences with its star cast.

300

300 (Yahoo! Movies / Wikipedia)
My Rating: Overall - A (Outstanding); and this deserves a mention, I never give it separately, Visual Effects - A+ (Oscar-worthy)
Directed by: Zack Snyder
Cast: Gerard Butler, Lena Heady, Rodrigo Santoros
Visual effects by: Hybride, Animal Logic, Hydraulx, Pixel Magic, Scanline

For a movie with a funny name and a gory story, the movie opened to a packed theatre. Or maybe it was just that students came to chill out and bought the first ticket they got after their exam got over. Whatever it was, my movie viewing experience started on a bad note. The movie started, they had technical problems, with the crappy Hindi music not budging to the movie soundtrack, and the Spartan visuals being overlayed with the fire exit plan with a big PVR logo bang on the Warner Bros logo. Those problems came back at the end too, when in the last few minutes, the hall turned into a disco with the lights coming on and off.
