The Blogs of a true Gemini.
"Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and movements and changes in the world about him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say, 'This I am today, that I will be tomorrow' " - Louis L'Amour

A Gemini and a twin, hence the site's name, twin-gemini. An interesting thing is, the Zodiac sign Gemini, itself is the sign of twins. {Born in Madras, India.} {Schooling at Hindu Sr. Secondary School, Triplicane, Madras and then at Adyar, Madras.} {Sri Venkateswara Engg.

neenga porudha irundha oru 2012-2013ku ponga appadhan adhu mudiyum ;)
yep..that's interesting..
Yeah. Came across in Sepia Mutiny. What will they think of next.
And yeah. XBOX rules - though I am never planning to buy one.
I shall stick to the traditional configuration of PC + "More Controls" Keyboard + "Responsive" Mouse
idhu nalla irukke... interesting stuff.
Pretty interesting .I am glad they are building such a theme park. My guess is by that time majors like Disney would have announced their India plans too ...
Cool idea!
Me,
I think they will try to complete it by Kumbh Mela in 2010, as Kumbh Mela happens once in 12 years in each of the 4 locations (Ujjain, Haridwar, Payarg and Nasik). The venue keeps rotating between these 4 places every three years, so at the same place it happens once in 12 years.
Krish,
In San Jose now?
Jaganlee,
There are, of course, some people who are not happy with this. But whats wrong in this, no one will want to go to an amusement park for just knowing about mythology. Some entertainment on the way will make it easy on the whole family.
Sat,
Thanks for the link. Pretty cool blog.
XBOX rocks and XBOX rules!
Chakra,
The future generation will visit theme parks instead of temples! :-)
Cogito,
Actually in Sephia's blog, he's mentioned about Disney's visit also, so there could be more to this than what we know right now.
Maran,
Yes, it will be like going on a Lanka Jump or Sanjeevini vertical drop or even a Lav-Kush Cradle ride.
I seriously don't understand why they have to make such a big hoo-haa about religion???
Well, thats partly because of our culture. People with the old school of thoughts still believe in religion being part of everything that they do in life, and hold it very sacrosanct to their beliefs. We might probably see a similar reaction if it had happenned with any other religion.
It depends on how they are going to present it!there is nothing wrong in presenting the goodness of one religion in a way that our coming generation can appreciate it more...I read somewhere that it is in this 21 century that people are turning to religion more than what their counterparts used to do in previous centuries!
IMHO, there is nothing wrong in giving a chance for one theme park to come up! as i said in the begining itis all in the way it is going to be presented!
ha ha! but good opportunity to hold a swayamvara for you there! :)what say? if you can wait until 2007, that is! :)
cheers!

Hope interest in Hinduism is at least resurrected this way. I am alarmed at the apparent neglect of the modern day youngsters in knowing even basic stuff on Hinduism, thanks to all the "Macaulay" education we are getting.
Hi Kika Gops,
The Feed that you have on your blog will be for the use of others. For you to read other blogs' updates, you will either need a software like RSS Reader or Sharp Reader (Google should tell you where to find them) - these are softwares that sit on your desktop and constantly check for updates from XML feeds that other blogs provide. Or if you dont want to use softwares, then you can use the web based Readers like Bloglines, and there you should be able to add your favorite blogs.
Usually many blogs have XML/RSS/Atom links posted prominently for you to use in these RSS softwares or websites. If you have any other questions, please ask.
If you are looking for XML links of most of the Madras Bloggers (or people who hail from Madras), here it is: http://india.blogstreet.com/bsibin/directory.cgi?city=Chennai, for other cities use their directory per city.
Hey, Did not realize you are from SVCE? I am a SVCE alum!
Oh I see, which year?
interesting.
on the banks of the ganges, doesn't sound like a good idea. ganges is already heavily polluted.
Vidya,
It's mainly to capture the Kumbh Mela crowd, so even if it sucks big time, I think, they will profit out of it.
Saranyan,
Let's see how it turns out.
I didnt realize until now that I missed out on replying to a couple of comments:
IBH,
Very true. Let's see how it shapes up.
Ramya (aka None),
2007 konjam lateuu...aana not a bad idea if someone wants to get married that year :-)
Thennavan,
It's more to do with the present day culture, in general, not just the education.
