Love is the destiny

Fear destines to tears,
bliss destines to tears,
misery destines to tears,
wrath destines to tears,
...but...
Tear destines to Love.

Thevar magan - My Favourite scene.

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.

                    Happy New year !!! 

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.

Interpreter of maladies - by Jhumpa lahiri

      

This is the first book by Jhumpa and it is a collection of 9 short stories. The book has won the Pulitzer prize for Fiction 2000, truly deserves one. Her prose is scintillating and so meticulous that she can write a short story on just combing your hair. She helps us a lot in visualizing the vicinities where the story dwells through her amazing endowment on describing every character, every place, every mood in detail. kudos to that. The title might suggest that all the stories carry only maladies, No thats not the case, not all of them falls on that line, the stories are coated with sensible humor, irony and impersonal compassion. I was gratified (thanks to those reviews i read which urged me to buy this book). My Favorite stories are : "A Temporary matter" and "A Real durwan".
