Today saw Devarmagan movie, after 18 years even today the movie gives the same feeling of what it gave when i saw it for the 1st time. If Tamil Industry prepares a profile of its own career...the achievements list would not miss Devarmagan, Truly one milestone in Tamil Cinema industry. Out of the whole movie if i am asked to pick a scene which pulls you inside the story, indeed it would be tough to resist the urge of choosing the whole movie but still the scene which is given below defines how good a actor sivaji ganesan was/is. There are few ppl who would impeach the acting skills of sivaji ganesan by saying his as 'Overplaying', for those all-mouth-no-action hypocrites,watch this video where you would fail if you try to get a glimpse of sivaji, all you could see is 'Thevar ayya' and 'Thevar ayya' alone.

My Bully 350
Every time when i ignite my bullet, It is not just a ride it is a PRIDE-RIDE.
Soaring spirit and roaring thumps,
ignore the pits and speed bumps
get out of my way, hey you rumps
or you'll taste the worst of this grump.

So...How was 2009 ?
This is a cliched topic which finds a place in almost all the bloggers pages. It deserves such prominence after all a year beckons us with 365 opportunities, 365 surprises, 365 challenges and what not. It remains the same as ever, it is us who age, change, raise, decline, laugh, wail, wrath.... through the course of its time. Ok lemme stop this shakesperism and look back 2009. There were many milestones personally here are few of them.
....Got a promotion thru a internal project jump. To me, moving out of my old 'Wax on A**' team (professionally A-team-with-great-visibility ;-) ] gave much reason to rejoice than the promotion.
....I started doing this what i am doing right now... bingo! started to write my own blog (Going gr8 so far).
....Earned my own respect in the new team.
....Traveled a lot than the last year
....Chetan bhagat opened the gates to my Book reading habit, as a result i introduced myself to Jhumpa lahiri,Paulo ceolho,Erich segal and few more authors and finished 10 different novels in 3 months (I am elated abt this new beginning )
.... I owned/own a Bullet classic 350... since then its not just ride it is Pride-ride ;-)
.... One more year, one more opportunity went as a vain attempt in shaping me up physically. ( but i still feel its just the year which is lost not my hopes )
....Took steps to kill the monotonous mode of my life and its doing wonders now.
So overall it was a year which had more reasons to celebrate than to moan , indeed it was a happy journey, hope 2010 has more fun to splash out on me /the entire world.

When i close my eyes.....
Right now I don't have any prominent thing in particular to share, but i wanted to share few things which are staying inside me for quite a long time now. Yes there are few anecdotes, places, acquaintances, machines, colors, dresses, vehicles,paths, books, movies ......∞. My mind wanders among these whenever i close my eyes. Interesting thing is not all of those has made a scar in my life except few but still they all stay inside me. So I wanted them to be recorded somewhere and i don't have a better place than my blog.
When I close my eyes.....
.......Small...very small wooden chairs of my kindergarten classroom.
.......The corridor where i used to play frantically in the lunch breaks.
......Sindhu.... a cute little girl who would have their fleshes in her nail by fierce pinches if someone even think of drinking water from her pet bottle but would tender me that bottle with so much care.
......A small customized rectangular shaped seat, which my father used to fix on his bicycle handle bar to seat me.
......Terrace of my hindi tutor's house.
....... 2 elder boys with the same name 'Prem' , both of them were my childhood guardians.
....... The 'Train' cracker that we used to fire on diwalis
This is going to be a ever-growing post, whenever my mind revisits(past) or imagines something new, I am gonna update this post.Keep looking this one.

Love story - Erich segal
Before you continue reading this post, a small word of caution for those who haven't read this book and planning to read sooner,do not continue reading this post since it has spoilers and for those who doesn't have a plan to read, You better read the book :-).
This really is the Mother of all poignant Love stories. Why ? The story was first published in 1970, when the love stories were accustomed to have a "And-they-lived-happily-ever" ending but then when this book was published it left a dent on everyones heart whoever read that. If you were born between 1970-80, you would have been named as 'Jenny' if you are a female and 'Oliver' if you are male, Yes the characters made such a huge impact on the readers.
Whenever we read stories few of them amazes us on author's intellectual skills.we will register few of the ideas into our brain to apply them in our real time situations but these kinda stories never make it to our heart but LS is something straightaway finds a place in your heart and the protagonists are going to remain there for decades. The book has a sequel released in 1977,the name is 'Oliver's story'. I am desperately looking forward to read that one.

Chetan Baghat - Making me read like never before
"He is making Indians read like never before" - Times of India
That is one of the blurbs i read on the "Praises to the Author" page in his maiden book (as writer) "Five point someone" and so is it for me as a reader (its quite a long gap so i would admit it as maiden). I didn't understand the truth hidden on that review until i finished reading that book. For a rookie reader to finish a book in 2 sittings :-) is something to crow.
The credit goes not to the reader but to the author who dumped so much indulgence on it.The moment i finished FPS, i was craving to read all his publications so far and i did that too. In the next 4 days i quenched my thirst by reading all his 4 publications on the trot.
Next thing I did, Logged in to Orkut and registered myself as a member to one his fans community. For those, who are used to Paulo coelho, Jhumpa Lahiri...etc this post of Praising Chetan Baghat might sound as a heap of amplified statements but for me he is the one who kindled the Passion of reading in me, so I have to be, I should be and I will be all praises for him.
I wouldn't declare his narration is impeccable rather I would say the blemishes are trivial though.He certainly will make the book a worthy buy, by putting us many times in a Nostalgic situation and will make us smile,frown,pity,long and what not. His prose is more of pragmatic rather than a fabricated one and thats what helps us to relate to situations at ease. When you could easily relate to the situations, you are more attracted to the novel and the author, thats where chetan baghat scores. I am thankful to him for inducing in me one of the celebrated and healthy addictions - "Reading". He has made me to read like never before and I am certain he would have made such impact in many as that blurb reads.
