Disappointed with a movie last week...we don't want to continue with that mission of Aegan ...so we opted to for a different language..yeah hindi ...hindi seeko bhai... : ) this time it was INOX...yeah we r jus trying to forget about MAYAJAAL...and save some money..[u know what, its more costlier for the tolls(perungudi and ECR) and parking which is worth for getting some bite of crackers and coffee in the interval...] I have seen Madhu's films earlier ..viz., Page3 ,Corporate and Traffic Signal ..and he is always in line with reality ...bringing the real happenings to the silver screen...nobody would disagree with that... This one was nothing away from it...a cellular world of modeling brought into screen with wonderful touch of emotions,anger,attitude,fame and disappointment.. The story starts with a young budding model...entering the fashion industry..hoping to become a super model....the story revolving around her.. way of not handling the fame in prop

the over bridge in front of tidel park. Most of us have noticed this over bridge near the tidel park. the intent of the corporation here , is to avoid pedestrians crossing the road in peak hours. Yeah hats off to them.. they have solved this issue, but they forgot about the people getting down from the MRTS Train.. Think about this.. I am getting down from the train in platform which is in the third level, I take 100 odd steps down to get to the entrance of the station... [The answer from the officials if questioned "WE have escalators inside the station.."] then again I need to climb up 50 odd steps and climb down the same odd 50 steps... oh man..what a way to lose your carbs without any physical trainer.. . thanks to Chennai corporation ... so before i switch on my system...I have lost half of my energy... so where does the innovation,technology gurus go..are they really blind .. I get an answer, " oh c'mon man..they are

நல்லதோர் வீணை செய்து... அதை நலம் கெட புழுதியில் எறிவதுண்டோ.... it was fun today...my canadian Manager in US saw this in gtalk status and was saying to me in the chat... "That text after your ID is confusing to me, I couldn't tell if it says 'leave me alone I am not working today' or if it says 'Open for Business' " then it took time to explain him that it was jus apoem... he his reply... "oh, I was only kidding. It looks nice I can barely read english though so I can certainly not read that poem" I guess he liked the pattern...who knows...

I had a dream..y'day.. it was overwhelming joy... u desire for that dream to repeat itself... u often feel that when u see some missing faces...which never go of ur mind or heart... it was a kind of dream... 'yeah i waited and waited and last she came with her enchanting smile... (it was unexpected though..but its true nature of human beings which keeps us intact...through our life...) I said 'Hi' ..that's it all over..there was no response either. .jus a smile again ..' searching answers for the meaning of that smile.... chaos starts...ther is no end for the butterfly effect..it still continues...

The magnificent globe ..the center of the auroville... vision starts thus.... Humanity is not the last rung of the terrestrial creation. Evolution continues and man will be surpassed. Auroville.. a place u wud never think of and love to go again and again..and u gain more about humanity on visiting this place..a must visit place...beyond the borders of religion and divisions..and a place for PEACE..rather call it MOTHER... The MOTHER describes...the globe as thus... A place...for trying to find one's consciousness. ***** It is like the Force, the central Force of Auroville, the cohesive Force of Auroville. its an architectural marvel...with two stairways leading to the inner chamber.. @ the center there is a crystal mounted on a golden pedestal..which is illuminated by a ray of light from the center of the globe with natural sunlight and @ night times illuminated by the same ray powered by solar pow

The film started off in the battle field in Japan...with full darknes..throught out the film...with english subtitles...yes its a Japanese film.. The story is about the bombardment of the Americans on the Japanese island... where the young men know they are in the losing end..and fighting for their pride and the emperor...lot of suicides...deaths..the true picture of war and despair ..perfectly blend.. I wonder

Vast stretches of coastal India may just go under water if global warming goes unchecked. According to a report titled Blue Alert by Greenpeace, if present trends are any indication, there will be a five-degree increase in temperature over the next hundred years. This will submerge large areas and displace around fifty million people in India alone. A policy change, the report says, can still avert a two-degree rise in less than a decade. Now an attempt is being made to mobilise public support to force the government to take a firm stand on climate change. “In Chennai alone there will be ten million people who may be displaced. They’ll be like climate refugees. So we want them to understand this and exert pressure on the government,” said Natasha Chandy, Communications Coordinator. Many countries have signed the Kyoto protocol in order to bring down green house gas emissions to levels that existed before 1992. But global emissions have actually risen by 24 per cent mainly due to emissi

Pamban Bridge. A man made architectural marvel .I took this snap sitting on the doorsteps of the compartment holding my Canon Rebel XT in one hand and other on the door. A thrilling experience so did I board the bus? nope this time...its the train..of course it was the one I boarded on March 21st 2008 , on my way back to Chennai from Rameswaram There was a little tussle with the TTR .I had forgotten my PAN card which was the primary identity for the online passenger tickets . I was having an identity card which was useless and the argument ended futile and in the end i paid a penalty of 1200 INR. nevertheless this train got me an identity as an amateur photographer... among the 11 winners of the Best Vacation Photos co-sponsored by Cleartrip and ZOOMIN ..the above picture you see was short listed for the final 11 from thousands

The wound caused by the second degree burns last week on my calf and ankle is still burning....I feel the heat inside….the watch shows 8.25 a.m. its Friday 29, August 2008 I am back after my first shift.. Exactly @ this time the bus which picks me up every alternate Friday to Rochester Downtown is on the way from Xerox Building No.112. The watch with the thermostat shows 2 degree Celsius and the analog dial showing 8.28 am and 10:28:05 FR on the overlay . I could feel the chillness, with my calf muscles starting to cramp. [ It was all GREEN everywhere on Tuesday and suddenly it’s covered with snow. First time experience of snow fall .Believe me ne body would love it, what a wonderful experience. It wasn’t snowing now, but the heavy snowfall had laid a sheath of frozen ice which made it feel colder even…. I just stand on the pavement below the sign post…It was rather an early snow fall this year. This was the bad calendar year …Katrina, floods

Kamal Hassan ...I call him the lord of indian cinema...for he has tried most of the things a normal film maker wud have tried..and its good to have this song in my blog.. and I recall some of his words in the recent interviews..."I encourage lot of young and brilliant engineers to come into this medium which has most power but beware , its not a place for those toddlers who enter here to learn cinema, its art but still it is a competitive profession.." he frowns " If somebody says that ..the films directed by me are not reached or comprehended by the tamil people ..I wud totally disagree as a true tamilian.." Most us have watched Virumandi ..an example of good screen play...in the recent either in the SUN TV [It was a highlights of a full feature film...20-20 mania has caught up with SUN TV too...] this particular scene in Virumandi....where he cries in the grave for her grandma..this particular scene is the crux of the of the film and this might not hav

22 Aug 2008,Friday 12°55'1"N 80°13'50"E 3.50 pm 70...60..50..40..30..20..crashhhhhhhhhhhhhh..a minor accident.veh no : TN-07 P 5312 ...the victim skidded off the road by braking on the rubble and sand that collected on the road due to rain the prev day, but he escaped with second degree burns in his right calf which was tangled between the brake lever and engine.Luckily it was near the T shop and it happened @ the shoulders of the OMR road . Within seconds there were people to help him out and took him to the company med centre... The guy who skidded was none other than me. I started off 3.45 to reach office @ 4 pm. It was a bit unusual time, i generally used to go around 5 pm to office. It was a coincidence that i thought i wud complete this blog after my work on friday n jus uploaded the picture Bfore that this had happened. It was on the card always..the road being rough exactly near the entrance and 2 days back, @ the same spot
