My Expression!! My Life!!

I saw RACE yesterday in the company of my roomie and a cupla friends. Before I went for the movie, like any other person, I asked those who had seen the movie how it was… Some said it was like a comic movie, some said that it was nothing gr8, some said that it was not at all what was expected… and to top it all I happened to read the ending on the rediff movie review… enough to put out anyone huh??!!!? It was actually an impulsive decision to watch the movie… call it a ‘Sunday-evening-with-nothing-better-to-do’ … we went to watch the movie… buying tickets in black..!! It was worth it… I sincerely enjoyed the movie. It’s got a whole lot of twists and turns and some more twists and turns… every 15 mins u r exposed to yet another twist in the tale, yet another facet of a character, yet another way people actually turn out to be in life…!! The movie plows through the entire plethora of emotions available in Indian cinema.. Love, hatred, rivalry, betrayal, passion, action, you name it, you ...

I read the GODFATHER – Mario Puzo yet again this time… finished it yesterday… that’s like the 7th or 8th time that I am reading it…!! It’s just simply amazing!! I buy a lot of books. In that sense, I am a collector. But I don’t buy it just for the sake of having a collection. I simply love BOOKS. I think they‘re the greatest escape route when you want to relieve yourself of stress, boredom, frustration, or just leisure… (I have 2 escape routes ;-) – dancing and reading!). My friends ask me why I buy books when I can go to a library and choose to read them. Well, I only buy those books by authors that I enjoy. And I don’t read them just once. I read them over and again. Ah, that’s another thing… they ask me why I read the same book over and again and what is the thrill in reading a book when you already know what the ending is… that’s not the point is it… :-) Every time I read a book over and again I find something new in it. Maybe some instance that I skipped over the first time I read...

Came across this on the internet...!!! kinda liked it... quite true if u look at it in a unique way.. :-) thot would put it up for you to read as well..!! LIFE IS ALL ABOUT ASS; YOU’RE EITHER COVERING IT, LAUGHING IT OFF, KICKING IT, KISSING IT, BUSTING IT, TRYING TO GET A PIECE OF IT, BEHAVING LIKE ONE. OR YOU LIVE WITH ONE!!!

Hmmm... SHOPPING and MEN!!! You know, tell that to most men and you’ll get an eye rolling-face expression like “oh god! Here we go again! God help me get through this alive please!!” … that’s like asking them to commit suicide..!!! And sometimes they also almost leave skid marks at the very mention of it..!! :-) I have noticed this with a lot of my guy friends… they say all the crap about how long a girl takes to shop and how they have to suffer along with all that and then they have to lug the stuff around and all that… but then tell them it’s ok that they don’t need to accompany us, they will pull a long face and put all sentiments and stuff and still come with us..!! Now what do u make out of that?? Now when we get to the shop it’s quite another story by itself… you are subjected to weird comments on how bad that dress looks or how it would not suit us or how that color is such a dull color or how we already have the similar dress similar color… not just this… you can also view all ...

There’s this show on MTV called Roadies. It is supposedly the longest running reality series on Indian Television. It’s basically about this gang of some twenty-something guys and gals going on a road trip across the country on bikes and they perform adventure tasks to earn money and keep voting out one of their team until there are only 2 left… It’s quite interesting to watch if that kind of stuff appeals to you. But what’s more interesting to watch is how these people got chosen out of the hundreds and thousands of people who applied and went for auditions. Raghu (executive producer of the show) and Nikhil (MTV VJ) kinda took out all their frustrations and irritation on all those people who auditioned… they made them do bizarre things and analyzed them, questioned them so much that at the end of it the session, the person is left feeling that he is the scum of earth and with such a low-esteem that he is not going to win in life! But all said and done, it’s only right to say that mayb...

I was just thinking about this… You know in Om Shanti Om Deepika comes back as a ghost in that last few scenes…!! Which means for the past 30 years (right from the flashback) ever since she died she was in that dilapidated building of a set..!!!??? Probably waiting for some light of day when the reincarnated Shahrukh would come back and wreak vengeance on the guy who killed them both … What I was thinking was… what would that ghost have been doing in that burnt out building for the past 30 years apart from waiting for the villain to be back so that she could kill him..!! I mean it would have been pretty boring right twiddling thumbs waiting for him while floating about the place….. And 30 years is a pretty long time… waiting for her reincarnated co-corpse Shahrukh to grow up to an age to understand why he was reborn etc etc… Anyways… PS: Yup before any of you who read this think that am a “gone-case” let me clarify that this is the journey of an idle mind…!! It is in a p...

I just came back home from shopping with my mom..!! We had gone out to buy sarees for my grandmas and for my colleague back in hyd who wanted to gift them to his wife and mom..!! He had wanted typical Kerala Kasavu saree and so that was not too much of a trouble..!! That done.. We started looking at different types to choose for my grandmas .. Hmm… I am not too much of a saree enthusiast … I mean I like to look at it, I like to wear it and look all feminine and demure (the latter which I am not)… but shopping for it… I loathe that.. I just can’t get over the fact of why people take such a long time to choose between the various types… I mean they go to the shop knowing what they want and finally they end up buying something totally contrary to what they were supposed to buy… Phew!! And the types that are available… God save those who have no clue about them … read me!!! :P You get all varieties like cotton, silk, silk cotton, polycot, chiffon, georgette and a whole lot of others wh...

I sent out this forward to my colleagues and a couple of friends..!!.. it was meant to be a joke.. like all the other men and women stuff that gets forwarded putting down each gender... though this time around the result was a little too obvious .... for more information read the paper cutting..!! Normally when such stuff are sent out no one bothers to reply.. people are kinda used to the these "men-women-chauvinistic-forwards" that they just read and are done with it... But not with this one...!! This one got a little too much of notice... it also got a lot of responses... mostly from MEN...!! :) The female clan was happy that the feminine gender was praised and their ego boosted etc..!! and the male clan.. well i guess it pricked their ego a bit for the forward portrayed GOD as a WOMAN..!!! :) But all said and done... The forward was quite enjoyable..! :) i must say, it sure did boost my ego ;)

Hyderabad – the city of nawabs and nizams, famous for its Hyderabadi Biriyani, the Golconda fort, the Charminar, Choodi bazaar, and of course been in the news more recently for the bomb blasts in Lumbini Park, Gokul Chaat Bandar, and also the Punjagutta flyover crash … there’s also quite a few other things that this city is famous for.. Oops sorry!! NOTORIOUS for… Its unruly traffic, arrogant auto-drivers, and as I have mentioned in one of my earlier posts (parochial people!),…. But let me talk to you about the first two aspects of the not-so-famous Hyderabad!! This incident happened as recent as today morning… me and glen were on our way to meet Kalyan from where we would go to office.. we tried hailing an auto from outside my apartment on the main road… the first auto we saw, that chap asked for 20 bucks to go to Marredpally… normally it takes only 13-14 bucks to go there, so we asked him why he wanted 20 bucks and asked him to come on meter charges (this is btw mandatory in Hyderaba...

Dancing has always been a passion for me..!! Right from when I was in Class II, I was trained in Bharatanatyam, Mohiniyattom – the traditional dance forms of Kerala and Tamilnadu… but being the shy kid that I was ( yes! Some people might be a little surprised at this… But yeah I was a shy kid back in school ).. I never ever used to take part in any of those cultural activities… I used to be scared of the whole fact of going up on stage and facing those people out there… whenever the teachers used to come into the class for searching out girls for all those various cultural items.. I’d sneak down below the desk and remain there until they left the room… I never found enough courage to volunteer for the same… forget that.. there was this one time that they actually chose me to be one of the angels in some biblical play they were putting up and I started bawling away to glory saying that I did not wanna do it… after that neither have they found the courage to choose me for anything even ...

In love, we win very rarely, but when love is true, even if you lose, you still win just for having the tingle of loving someone more than you love yourself. There comes a time when we stop loving someone, not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that, they'd be happier if we let go.... Why do we close our eyes when we sleep? When we cry? When we dream? When we kiss? This is because the most beautiful things in the world are unseen…Untouched… Only felt..!! There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind, but keep in mind that letting go isn't the end of the world. It's the beginning of a new life. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried. For only they can appreciate the importance of the people who have touched our lives… A great love??!?! It's when you shed tears and still you care for them, it's when they ignore you and still you lon...

If as a booklover, there has been any author I really am in awe of, one of them would have to be Joanne Kathleen Rowling… The lady who introduced the wonder-boy Harry James Potter to the world…. And I admire her not for a whole lot of things… its quite unbelievable that her imagination has captured the hearts of “god-knows-how-many-people” of the world… what an imagination man!!! Incredible!! To think that all those funny wonderful characters came out of her thinking is quite something! I was introduced to Harry Potter when I went to Bangalore to visit my cousin… I was so bored that my cousin bro’ Arjun gave me this book and asked me to read it… I was hooked! The first book that I read was “The Chamber of Secrets” and it’s still my favorite of the lot… after that it was a race… To see who would get to read the remaining books that came out in sequence… we used to have quizzes on the spells and the potions and the other stuff from the books… The way Rowling has developed each of the cha...

An idle mind is a devil’s workshop… familiar ideology; ain’t it?? What’s the big deal if u r idle… right… I mean how is it affecting anyone… so what if you have nothing to do and then you end up contemplating the most weirdest things in the wide world..!! And in the process give your head a shake with a tut-tut murmur… wondering why the hell that particular thought came up… and what’s the stream of thoughts like..!! I am sitting idle today in office… finished off my work (efficient worker that I am!)… Did all my pending to be completed work as well (I told ya I was diligent!) and now am sitting idle ever since I got back from lunch…!! Quite a contrast from those earlier weeks when I barely had time to go for a tea-break!! I mean it was quite HECTIC till last week and suddenly now… like the lull after the storm, it’s all abated… I MISS THAT!!! I mean forget about the fact that I used to crib that we were over-worked and that mules and asses had a better time at work than us…. Those late...
