A new life
I want my blog to be active again, yes I know I have to start blogging for that. May be it is time to start everything afresh, time to get back to life. Wana rewind and playback what happened in past few weeks
- Place : Moved to San Francisco, so will be living in Northern California for a while and will move back before it makes me soft. (P.S : Wear Sunscreen)
- People : Got two new friends in the recent past, we never know where do friends come from. Re-connecting with people(chooooosy) thru FB
- Lessons learnt: Life is a circle
- Movies : A lot of them, nothing really impressed except Avtar
- Books : Again a lot and everything was impressive – Toyota way, Logicomix etc
- Travel : Went round the world once . . LOL
- Blogging : Totally inactive, almost extinct, thou so many uncooked drafts.
- Technology : next point please
- Poems : Wrote one after a long time, but too delicate to post
- Sleep : Got very lucky with it
Just an icebreaker, will be off the Web for a week(not to mails) as I am going to be without internet for a week starting this Monday. Let see how easy it is.

For every lie
Lie is becoming an integral part of our life, my friend use to say that, in their religion there is a belief that for every lie you tell a mark will be made on your left arm and for every truth the same is done on your right, if that is true, then can we count the marks on our left arm? During olden days, people use to fear God/Parents, but that is not the case now, we fear neither.
Psychologists say that people lie for pleasure, if we contemplate, it will sound true, some believe that people get immense pleasure when their lie is believed undoubtedly. Most of us lie without even realizing that we are actually lying, one such is exaggeration.
Exaggeration is one form of lie,
- We exaggerate day to day events, just to make it sound more interesting and spicy
- While teasing people we exaggerate a lot.
- Sarcasm often comes bundled with exaggeration. Buy one get one.
Lie is one of the bad outcome of human evolution, it takes us away from nature. Nature never lies, but we do. Lie can be categorized into many types and for every type we have our own justification. We never realize how much we are bonded to lies, in fact we have tuned our ears to lies than to truth. We cannot stop it all of a sudden, but we should keep a count and a simple way would be,
For every lie you utter, drop one rupee in a box and at the end of the month open it in front of your friends and then donate it to a charity.
The reason behind India’s T20 loss
Thousands of articles and news coverages are on after India’s loss against England in a crucial Super 8 match, which knocked India out of the T20 world cup. People/Media are coming up with FMEAs for the loss, No use crying over spilt oil. Lets have a commercial break.
Sources say that they would have featured this add in the English’s Strategy building meeting to KP and PC . Guess what, KP ordered a big box of Maha Choco from India and that is it.
Maha choco ki Diwaane nahi, MAHA DIWAANE hote hein,kyunki ye sirf chocolatee nahi, maha chocolatee hein.
P.S : Purely fictional!. Not intended to hurt anyone. Appologies, if it. Being a die hard fan, I was totally against doing this, but some one gave me Maha choco and I did this. ‘you will do anything to get the candy with the irresistible taste‘.
Vennila Kabadi kulu
“Venilla Kabadi kulu” – I saw this movie over a period of two days, first half on Friday and second half on Saturday and now when I recollect, it looks as if i watched two different movies with same cast. Till interval the movie revolves around hero-heroine-kabadi and after that it revolves around hero-friends-kabadi. These days tamil movies have started following the trend of blunt/makeover endings, AFAIK it started from Chennai – 600028, then Auto(Oram po) etc, the movie will be on its pace and suddenly a turn around will happen and that ends the show, audience are notified the end of show with a thank note or with the director signature. Initially it was quite different, but now it has become very usual phenomenon. You might have noticed one of the following things in climax
- Hero will die – the director would have ended hero’s life just for the sake of publicity
- Everyone will die in the movie – all lead characters and that too for no logical reason
- The movie will end without any conclusion – they claim that it is left to interpretations
- The movie will end abruptly before even going to a pre-final state.
We can keep growing this list, well venilla kabadi kulu definitely falls under one of these.
One thing which I loved about this movie is the romance, it was portrayed beautifully and we can feel the real village culture, how a girl approaches a guy and how a guy approaches a girl, no over-exaggeration as in movies which portrays city love and its 100% real – Seetha baat, no Bhakwas. Take for example Minnale, the so called all time favourite romance movie, which is a total non-sense.
Vennila kabadi kulu – Be it the first meet of hero and heroine or their last meet, its very plain, neat, elegant and simply amazing which makes it everygreen and as they say truth doesnt need any makeover.
