Silambattam - Simabattam...... - A review.

Well, well, a simbu movie it was in the movie of the month in office. To be frank, simbu was not at any spot in my movie lists, except for say manmathan. And the talk was, the movie was ok, and the songs great. That was the information with which i entered the movie hall in sathyam.

By Far, the worst, by simbu that i had seen till date, that is what i can say, what he is not dancing to the songs too. Is that a hip hop kinda style which you are trying to adopt in the songs dude. Never mind, you had so many things missing. not something, so many things. I ain't no one who know dancing, but you didn't have nothing to make me move.

But hold on, the flashback part was good. Simbu was great there, the song, sung by ilayaraja was superb. Prabhu was majestic. wonderful on his part. The part where he comes in like BILLA, was superb, except for the fact that, he does not have the body to carry the grace which is required for that character. But i can think of it as a spoof of billa and laugh. and to say the truth, yes it was a laugh riot at that juncture of the movie.

That song, no wait it was not one but two songs, "Vachikkava unna mattum" and "Where is the party tonight". i couldn't make why they had to interrupt the movie for these songs. i couldn't see a reason why the songs were there in the first place. You can hear the songs, but don't take the trouble to watch em. It sucks, the moves suck. especially, Where is the party tonight, the dance sucks, the video sucks.

It is just the kind of movie you would watch if you are down too much.
Watch it for Simbu's performance as Thamizh, in the second half, the other guy, i think his name is raghav, the character which kills the cows in Thamizh's house. and Prabhu.

Beliefs vs wishes.

Since last sunday, i had wanted to write, badly, but, at the same time, i also, didn't want to sit down to write those things which i wanted to write. thought that i might imagine things, write what might happen in future, might hurt someone. But i couldn't stop me from writing. so here i am.

For those who are around me, they know, what is happening. My mom and pop are looking for a girl to get me married. (i Can't explain the traditions here, at this point of time, coz i myself don't know em).

Come on, what, i am just 25 now. i don't even have finished working for the major things in my wishlist, i don't own a thing, except for what?,,... a laptop, a desktop, and a mobile phone, and... and... what else do i know, other than, my video games, computers and cartoons.

What about my wish?,,... well the ones whom i believe (ma friends, if you didn't know) think i don't stand a chance to woo anyone. I don't even know the basics. and what did they call me now, after all these years of struggle, after being looked down at every point, they are saying, i am too geeky to make any one to even turn and take a look at me. and they are asking me to try for someone in my office instead of the whole world. Bull S***, That is office. where you work, create beautiful things, which are of use to someone, not some place for flirting and romance.

I know, i don't look good. i don't have a great body, i'm obese slightly. I talk with a kind a humor which many find difficult to understand. I live online, than the real world. And i don't know anything outside of computers. And that is what i am. And i want to be me.

i know i am confuzzed.....

Gold Star! - followup

i had mentioned about unconference which takes place in my office every alternate week. and how i missed a gold star last week. Well this time i made it. But i don't think i was worth it this time. After the question by the other tall lady, i didn't stand a chance. i had lost all hope once that question was posted. mine never had a chance, and i was also not able to think of anything else. i had lost all hope of making it this session, i was not even a single position of getting even a silver. But somehow i made it to 13 votes, and the tall lady too managed 13 votes for the best question. i couldn't believe it. But the fact that i had to share the gold is not great. But this is the first gold. But still it should have been her. She was the one who had shared, with me. her question was best. But you can never stand in front of the people. See there is a saying in tamil. "Makkal Theerpe magesan tirpu", meaning the people's decision is the god's decision.

Next time, next week. i will work even more hard to be solo winner of the gold. But i have already set my eyes on the red bell which goes for challenge and which is a point more than gold. i have challenged some. Seems i have to read more and be cautious, coz in the next session i will be travelling thru hot waters, one small mistake could create large slides and falls.

Me, Rain and JLPT 2008

It couldn't have started any thing like this.

Even before i reached the railway station near my house, myself, my mobile, and my laptop were nearly drenched with water, coz of natural (rain), and unnatural (faulty design of the subway). Then after reaching Central the rain stopped completely but the Train in which i was supposed to go had not arrived due to some other problem, and it was delayed by around 3 and a half hours.

phew, after a long wait, i left chennai for madurai. after a overall delay of another half an half from the delayed schedule, i reached madurai at around 2330.

I started my preparation for the JLPT exams the very next day. in between i went to the book fair which was happening over there in madurai. It was wonderfull. I wish i could buy nearly every other book which i saw. but, was a little short on cash, and these guys do not accept plastic money. so i had to be content with 3 - 4 books which i bought.

I got some nice small story books and puzzle books for my uncle's daughters. well it was nice, after nearly 2 years i had gone to a book fair. Surrounded by books i was lost in time, till the organizers decided to pull me out of the trans at around 2100 in the evening on that day.

Then i left for Bangalore where i had to write the exam on 7th. Reached there on 6th stayed in Jeyan's place. he is not the same as last year, he was a little tensed, and shaking too much. I just can't believe what can happen to a person. We both wrote the exam in our respective levels, and not expecting any great. Hope everything turns fine for him.

Back to chennai, back to office, it was fun. I missed office so much. and now i am back.

Rules!!!

I broke one of my sacred rules yesterday!.

i sent a link of a post to some people.

i never wanted to advertise. But... I had to, i think, that was the only way out....

Gold Star!

Unconference:
An unconference is a facilitated, participant-driven conference centered around a theme or purpose. (Wikipedia)

It was not fair!, I attended the whole session today just to win the gold star. But, all i could manage was, my second consecutive silver star. Mani, did not make a note of the questions asked today, unlike previous sessions. But i cannot put the entire blame on him. even i did not remember what questions i asked... That was not right from my part also.

so well, better luck next time. I will win my gold star next time.

I have taken leave from tomorrow. so i can study for jlpt. Hope i pass this next time.

Rain

It's been a long time since it rained cats and dogs like this. Since, Thalakona today's was the best rain which i saw in the recent times. But, that was a different experience altogether.

I couldn't get enough of the rain since i was carrying my laptop from office today. this darn thing would have become waste if it gets in the rain. Just now, i went out stood in the rain, it was dark out there. chill and the rain was cool.

WOW!!!, how much i miss those days, when i and satish would walk home from school to home in the evenings in the rain, How we rode thru the entire city during the flood causing rains of 2005 in his bike. from beach to Tambaram and then back home, all thru the small streets, coz the GST was too heavy with traffic coz of rain that day. The day when i made whole of rohit's house wet with rain water. THe hot pakoda's which we ate in the center bus stand in madipakkam, The cricket matches which we played. The infamous jump from the first floor, The whole way down it was fun. i would break everyother bone in my body, just to have all these fun again. Kidding, but it would be nice to enjoy all these again.

Today's was a start. maybe the days are coming, and i will enjoy the rain even more again. But!, who will get me those Pakodas? who can bring satish back here!

Surprise Call, Maggi & El Dorado

The day started with a surprise today. Akka foned me. she called me up to day morning. She was not feeling well for the past few days, and i was tryin to reach her since a few days after i came here. But couldn't get thru to her. Yeah! she is ok now. i don't know, but after talking to her, i will have to believe, what she says.

And later my parents left me reluctanly to a function. well and good. and i was having fun watching movies all day. Later i cooked Maggi, and saw Eldorado again. I have seen it innumerable times already, but still every time you see, the movie is still watchable. It is magic. Elton John's voice, miguel and tulio's adventures, Altivo's expressions, you can even watch it n number of times and still sit to watch one more time.

It was great today. I was so relieved after i talked to akka, and knew abt her health. Nothing can beat those 12 minutes today..........

Aegan = Main Hoon Na!

To Miss Nayanthara,

You ain't no sushmita, to do justice to that role.

Jewellery

This Saturday dad & mom took me to a jewel shop and started to look for a ring for me. i just could not bring myself to that idea. I have seen many wear these things, i have even seen some who were wearing a shop worth of things on them. Yet i could not stand the idea of wearing any jewels on me. In the shop too there were many who were looking for a ring which suits them, i just couldn't understand. It was something unusual for me. atlast i had to scumb to the pressure of my parents, and i had to go thru the ordeal of wearing a ring. and i am now wearing it.....
