This song never fails to bring a smile upon my face :-)

Teal talkies : Dilli-6

The caption of the movie goes - "The journey within".  This movie is about yet another NRI who finds his true calling in his mother land.  But Rakeysh could've thought of a better person to act in the lead. Abhishek's american accent is pathetic. That's right. Pathetic. 

Some parts of the movie are really good , and yes there is comedy in parts. I am not going to deny it. The lead starlets have proved yet again that lineage of fame alone doesnt suffice ... Dont know how much of a response this movie has got, though. The music is amazing. 

A.R.R , need I say more? 

But songs have gotten very less of a showcase in the movie , especially 'Genda Phool'. 

Watch out for Abhi's pesudo DJ dance steps for 'Genda Phool', which I found particularly hilarious. :-P

I think Rakeysh started off making a funny movie , then decided to bring in some sobriety into the storyline ... and hence the whole kaala bandar funda!

Ok am not going to provide any spoilers , you can go and watch this movie if you still want to.

It just makes for good time pass. 

And yes, a definite dissapointment after RDB, definitely.

Some funny pictures!

Just when I thought I would put these up in my wordpress blog , the wordpress server conspires against that thought and brings that post down to this page! So I am going to let these pictures speak for themselves :-D

You can find places like these only in non-metropolitan areas . . . this was taken in Kumbakonam, an emerging city in Tanjore District.

Cool DRINGS , Anyone?

Why would I want to taste a shop? I dont eat bricks mortar or furniture !!!

Of madness and moderation

I still remember the first few days of DSL in my home. My elder sister was abroad , so no one to fight with for the computer. I was the undisputed queen of the internet and my parents weren't much enthusiastic about the world wide web. In the pretext of doing ground work for my final year project, I had wasted what I can safely surmise as eons of what could have been a productive span of time. :-)

Of course, what all happened during the final year and the year afterward were eye openers of their own kind. And until a while ago, I thought I was totally addicted to the net. I remember installing the Opera mini in my dad's mobile and browsing away to glory until the new ISP sent home a technician rather quickly. But for the past 3 weeks I was out of action for many reasons - grueling work (there were times I'd be round the clock at office), the ISP's idiotic infrastructure and customer services , and 1 week long requiem to my native place.

I would not claim that the past week has been a spiritually enlightening expierience, but there is one thing I would proclaim.
There is nothing like turning off your cell phone and going off the internet for a span of atleast 2-3 weeks. Makes you feel all fresh and rejunivated :-D
I am also aware that one out of the 3-4 ppl who would be reading this entry would firmly disagree with this line of thought, but what the heck.

One of these days, I am gonna go on a longer vacation to an exotic destination, and god willing, it should bring as much peace and joy to me :-)
(I wouldn't mind if it turned out to be more peaceful and joyful either ;-)

For the "silent followers", yes , the blog entry on the Kumbakonam and Tanjore trip should be posted in a matter of 3 to 4 days.

No particular motive prompted this entry of mine. Just a fleeting thought over an infinitesimal moment , and perennial weekend vettiness :-)

Blah blah!?!

Today's Orkut fortune for me - "What we think, we become (Please don't think you are a superhero and don't try to fly)"

And I thought I cracked the worshtesht mokkais on Planet Earth.

Sheesh.

Does someone actually get paid for writing lame stuff like this?????

Jeez-us!

Where's Teal?

My dear blogjunta- the ten odd ppl who subscribe to my feed and random blog hoppers, and also the nosy ones who come here with the vain hopes of getting a sneak peek into my life, i've some news. and some news. After literal renovation for pongal and parting ways with my former isp, I'll be outta action until the new isp sends home a technician to get me plugged back in. So will catch ya sometime next week. ps: bratman, this was posted via opera mini thro my mobile. ;-):-)

Resolutions, really?

It is that time of the year again .... where people think of ways to improve many aspects of their lives. (don't know why this doesnt strike them around the rest of the year) Many have a list of utopian resolutions, some just plain down to earth ones and some dont even bother to make any!

And of course, there are some who are so addicted to the whole idea of rule breaking, that they make resolutions just to breach them :-D (I happened to see this e-card while looking for a greeting to send to a friend, and yes, there are also people like this in real life!)

I spoke to a few friends of mine, and got their take on this year resolutions, most of them could be spotted on anyone's list:

• Wake up early
  
• Excercise
  
• Quit junk food
  
• Spend more time at home
  
• Reduce the typical 15hr daily ordeal at work
  
• Be better human beings

What matters at the end of the day, is how much we are seeking to stick to the list of these resolutions. How resolute we actually are. How determined we are to actually bring about the change that is so badly required in the monotonous rut of our existance.

I for one have already broken 2 out of my exhaustingly long list of things to be done for the year. Speaks volumes, doesnt it?

Hope you all have a wonderful year ahead, and lets see , if atleast one of the items in my list succeed, I would definitely consider this year to be a fruitful one.
