Have you seen ramanarayanan movies? Wherein, dogs and snakes come to the rescue in the last scene ? something of that sort happens here too.

may be i should have watched in 3D.
Still, the movie never made me feel bad about watching it.

good - the heroine's hiss
bad - cliched plot

paradise

is not lost or regained. it is a biriyani centre in secunderabad.

bored

to the core, i searched for tags to blog. but sadly i did this already.

i found this one interesting -

enna solla varraanga ?

poi solla indha manasukku
theriyavillai
sonnaal poi poidhaanae

restored

for a brief period of time, i liked being in temples, the chanting,etc. I am back to normalcy today.

the last few days

oru plate idly, innoru plate idly, masala dosa, set dosa vadakari (share), single idly, coffee

may be a repost.

thoughts on the video : when the song goes "you can be rich...", actually is that poor?

guess who

there s a poll added on the left. (just like that. I kinda know the result already).

Itt'ss pinnkkk

P.S : from someone's orkut videos

hushhh ! public , public !!

I started using facebook today. The pages definitely load much faster than orkut. and the white background makes orkut look cheap.
And the utilities/applications. It felt a bit more chaotic than my orkut (has google imposed an almost schoolishly strict boxes and placements?) home page, but then i started looking around.
time has to be killed. its almost 2 and no one has called me. ok. some one hasn't called me. anyways, back to the topic, i started looking around. I saw that people were taking IQ tests. I clicked on that. And i was about the begin the test. Stop. I went out, googled (let the big-bing happen?) and took IQ tests out of facebook.

Yennai naan arivaen,
yennai andri yaar arivaar ?

i come again

காலை கண்ட கனவென்ன, மாலை உன் நிலையென்ன, இந்த நாளின் விலை என்ன ?

Oops

mmm. i forgot another birthday today. its my younger cousin's. He must have just disabled the notification on orkut i suppose. I remember it showing up some
time back. A way to see who actually remember? Anyways, he pinged me dutifully to get wishes.
Well, its just not worth to try these things and get disappointed on your birthday, or is it ? so , unless you are sure of yourself... I mean, we got tools today, and we are all really busy, aren't we? (I remember replying to one's birthday alarm mail saying that as a principle i don't believe in these and that one will remember if they care.)
I just recently forgot TJ's first wedding anniversary. Upon which TJ reminded that it
was pavi's birthday two days later. I again forgot it, but thankfully TJ again called up and reminded.
Just before that, this is the worst of the lot, I forgot Nikhil's wedding till 11. Wedding was at 1130. I never made it.
I almost forgot arun's birthday. I just din't realize enough to wish vishnu on his wedding anniversary. I just remembered the treat.
Well, its quite some time now that my parents and sister call me upfront and inform me of weddings/birthdays so that i can wish them/others. And my sister gets offended the most. Oh, cmon. I am sorry all the same, but i never meant any offense.

guess what ?

watch out

one of my friends status message -
barca deserves :-), no more all english fans ! ! !

Well, I don't care about the deserving part, I ain't even a barca fan, but what would i not give to see barca lift the trophy.

well, doesn't the guy look like straight out of an animation film ?

pepsodent-bache-jhoot-nahi-bolte

one of the recent commercials. some where the kid goes, "enga ammuvukku enna vida en pallu mela thaan akkara jaasthi" (my mom cares more about my teeth than me).
I was laughing like hell (because i was watching it with my parents. who were asking me some real tough questions. other thing is, i was lying continuously.)

kunguma poovum konjum puraavum

Fore word : definitely avoidable, dont get tempted by a few comedy sequences shown on the tv.

its a bit by bit copy of scenes and ideas from various movies. Right from the first scene where they show "Muttam" ooratchi ungalai varaverkiradhu. I decided against showing off by mentioning the sequences and their originals.

Slightly better is the second half in toothukkudi, as you might have read in other reviews or heard. But i doubt if even thats relative !

It was amusing to me because i watched it with my parents!

pick ? well, ok, the heroine character.

Ayan -

dont have that much to complain. but you dont miss anything if you dont see it.

and I think this is the first timely review i have written !

SMS ing

after a long time

tickets booked.

dad - unbelievable

:)

Hope he doesn't get any wrong signals

don't they ?

if some body you know refuses to donate blood, what will you do if some later time he needs blood ?
Some just get away with it, don't they ?

translated

(from "akila akila")

"kaadhal idhu vaarthai alla vaakkiyam"

Love, is not a word, its a sentence (:P)

odum megangale

oorellam thoongayilae vizhithirukkum en iravu.

cant help thinking about the song because i am working now, and its sunday almost 12. no, i am not the busiest/most overloaded person on the earth. I have my reasons,
but still it sucks.

vivaah

Well, you think nice is nice ? good things are nice ? kindness is good ?
watch Vivaah - a conviction shattering nicest movie that you will ever get to watch.

A bag of sweets and you are supposed to keep eating them for almost three hours. Another over sweetened paayaasam. Can you ?

Chaachi character was the saving grace - not meant the "seayt" way.

But why am i posting it now ? when i saw the movie almost a week back? that may be called nidhaanama kovapadaradhu as one mr.sivam puts it. or i had other triggers. maybe, maybe ...

Well, Will stop here.

ENDURANCE TEST

There will be blood

Great movie.
The following scenes might not make sense unless you see the movie.

lost in translation !

P.S 2: Smita, see label

- A still from "paiya".

its not good anymore.

Well, i have a meeting today at 730pm. So i might not be able to play today. Tomorrow there is that party at Taj, which i wil anyway not attend cos i have another call lined up. Well, I think thats it. my volleyball playing days.

Mere maula..

Sar utha ke maine to kitni khwahishein ki thi,
Kitne khwab dekhe the, kitni koshishein ki thi,
Jab tu rubaroo aaya, aaaa,
Jab tu rubaroo aaya, nazre naa mila paaya,
Sar jhuka ke ek pal mein, hooo
Sar jhuka ke ek pal mein maine kya nahi paaya...

Random

#1) urinal trouble

There's not much vulgar content down there, but, here you go -

when we were in primary/high school, we had three urinals and when the interval/lunch bell rang, there were atleast 50 of us in the 10*8 space, standing in queues, and we dint mind sharing(with a friend already in front) to avoid the queue. But now, there are five urinals in the gents restroom in our floor. So max privacy at three current active users is achieved when the odd numbered one's are used. And avg current active users doesn't exceed 3 often. I can't understand when people choose to use the even numbered ones even when the odd ones are not occupied.
The only thing thinkable is to stand next to arun, and only if both of us are drunk.

#2) Quote from daily literary quote :

"There is no man, however wise, who has at some point of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory."
- Marcel proust

Related - "No man is rich enough to buy back his past" - Oscar wilde

truly inspiring

"comprehensive victory" said rizi.
well. I will give it to him. It was. It has been like this for quite a while. There are very few instances when i last won a series against him.
But to think that this guy, just before a few years, used to paddle like a starter does, while i had already passed all those stages. Well, to get that dialogue(or rather
monologue - my response was tame in the sense there was no conviction in it.)
from him was truly inspiring.

Rizi, I know you will read this, and I will wait for your comment.

slumdog millionaire

why doesn't anyone say anything about the brother character ? I mean, it was different, and it did have some character.

well

the perfect side dish to beer at home is to take the fountain head, open a random page, and read through it. it will still make you introspect.

happy birthday Smita.

:(
Its not good anymore

P.S:
:) and :( are unrelated.

Process definition for cooking

Objective :

To get salt and spice right.

Reason :

y'days veg rice had neither salt nor spice. And to try to mix salt at the end only makes the rice more pulpy and hence a bit more disgusting.

MOP :

use the same spoon to add salt always. And do measure and remember the number of spoons added. So if you start with even a bad estimate, according to binary search algorithms, you will hit the right amount in a few iterations.

Notes :

only saani can eat y'day's rice without a word. Hail saani.

swimming !!

is great. even when you dont know how to swim. Though people are watching. You are making absolutely comical moves with your arms and legs. Though the depth of water wont wet your neck if you stood up. Still it was great. Waiting for the next chance to get into water.

Now i know why a blogger can't resist writing about it.

My pick - "Hey, you created me. I didn't create some loser alter-ego to make myself feel better. Take some responsibility!"

Excerpt

from a conversation with my younger brother:

You start thinking about something. You start talking about it. To someone. And if the first conversation goes well, you set a precedant, a comfort zone. Probably you start off with a related topic everytime with the person though thats not what you are currently thinking. Then you start thinking about what you talked. A viscious cirle sets in.

Oh yeah, the last small part of my life (which was just the last week) was called playing brother. It involved eating three meals at times, returning home at time, listening more, talking less, talking as if its from experiences swelled over the years, etc etc. It was an eye opener.

Bhai : I know, I promised to spare you of this, but ...

Man

the waiter serving unlimited meals at 11pm:

Do you want rice ?
No.
Little ?

Man, touch pannitta po.
