Inception - are you awake ?

            "Dreams",an exciting subject christopher nolan has taken in his hands this time. We all know how good he is on weaving intricated stories impeccably with his amazing script/screenplay writing ability.He proves himself again with a big hard bang by giving us the INCEPTION.such subjects gives you eternal freedom on anything and everything.It could be on visualizations or could be on characterizations or could be on atmosphere or could be on anything that you could imagine.Your imagination is your limit, when you go beyond that, the dream world exists from where Nolan makes a convincing story out of it.

           Fantacy could have been an easy option but what the director has done in this movie is intelligence. you as an audience will be convinced on the subject completely no matter what.Though the movie is a pile of new ideas, the very core of the movie is the most interesting part which is 'Planting an idea in the mind of a person through dreams'. This left the audience with their jaws stuck atleast me. Ok goody,now you got a great bottomline, but can you enhance and develop it as a complete story ? "YES WHY NOT" says Nolan and he does that using "Nested dreams" - A dream inside a dream inside a dream inside a dream.... till you wakeup :-) interesting ain't it ? not yet ? ok how'bt this ? Those nested dreams can be shared by many people,will be designed by an architect and it will be controlled by a person. This is achieved using a technology called 'Dream-sharing'. what ya say now :-) ? I dont want to do the autopsy of the movie hence i leave it here about the story.

            Certainly a great research and thought process has been done by Nolan and his crew before he took the pen in his hand,it shows on the screen and pays on the box office.Leonardo di caprio is my man, he is truly showing all the signs of a great actor and that is why he has become a favorite hero for all the good film makers. As the movie progresses, Nolan plants a thought in the audience mind too, that is to swing a totem once we reach home n check if it topples :-), i did it i bet you'll do too.

Verdict : Don't Miss it.PERIOD.

June 25 - My Birthday

            Before I could forget my last year b'day celebrations and happenings here comes my next b'day today. Who said a year is a long time ? I disagree :-) nevertheless this day is special to me and wishes from friends and family makes it more than just special. My sister made gulab jaamun to celebrate her dear younger brother's b'day (:-)) he he ).Its a weekday so option of roaming out is ruled out but i'll go to 'Raavanan' movie tonight booked at sangam.

           Personally in the past one year nothing has changed except my age and my age alone. I am still the same person who would immensely enjoy every note of good music that reaches my ears, I am still the same person who would go on journies without any destinations in my bullet. I am still the same person who doesnt grow old on staring at the eternal skies, I am still the same person who desires to bring down my weight but not doing that by hiding behind silly excuses :-). Hope this year would take me to the right places at the right time and more importantly with the right shape :-).

Pehla Nasha - Evergreen

Another divine composition which never fails to rejuvenate the feeling of Love inside me perhaps inside everyone whoever listens it. Jatin-Lalit, the melody masters one of the ever-green composition from the movie 'Jo Jita woh sikkandar'.

A healing song

      A human being may have million superior qualities and capabilities over other living beings in this very earth, but of them all i personally believe that understanding music is the most distinguishing and gifted ability. A good music can light up your senses, it can magnify your happiness, can be soothing when you are in grief and on top of all it keeps you calm and more human.Thanks to Mozarts and Beethovans.I always believe no music or musician can be compared with each other. Every single piece of music that reaches inside you beyond just the ears deserves its own respect and accolades. The one posted below is one such composition from Yuvanshankar raja, he is immensely talented and still haven't got the recognition what he deserves. He deserves far better rewards for his soul-stirring melody numbers.

       As far as me, this is yuvan's best, the best tune that such a illuminating lyrics can get.It lists always on top of my selections.

Hear it, It heals......

பருவகாலம்

பத்தாம் வகுப்பு விடுமுறை
அதுபோன்றொரு அனுபவமில்லை இதுவரை

மனித உடலுக்குள் இருக்கும்
மாய ஜாடிகள் திறக்கும்
பருவகால பயணத்தில் கிடைக்கும்
ஒவ்வொரு நொடியும் மனமது கிடந்து திளைக்கும்

தேன் குரல் போய் ஆண் குரல் பிறக்கும்
முகக்கண்ணாடியிலேயே முகமது மூழ்கிகிடக்கும்
பால் வடிந்த கன்னங்கள் பழுக்கும்
அன்றாடம் புதியதாய் பத்து பருக்கள் முளைக்கும்

மூக்கின் கீழ் கம்பளிபூச்சி ஒன்று வந்து படுக்கும்
அதை காணக்காண மனமது றெக்கைகட்டி பறக்கும்
அணிந்துவந்த அரைக்கால் சட்டை மூளையில் கிடக்கும்
புதியதாய் வாங்கிய முழுக்கால் சட்டை இடுப்பிலே இருக்கும்

எதிரில் வரும் பெண்ணை கால்கள் மட்டுமே கடக்கும்
வரமனமில்லாமல் நினைவது அங்கேயே கிடக்கும்
சந்தியாகாலத்தில் மொட்டைமாடி தனிமை பிடிக்கும்

ஏன் எதற்க்கென்றில்லாமல் எதற்க்கெடுத்தாலும் வெட்கம் தாவியனைக்கும்.

Sachin - The Superhuman

Prologue

          A country, second richest in population is diversified in million things but stands united in very few cases and he is one among them. If you are born in india, naturally you'll prefer playing cricket over anyother sports. If you play cricket, naturally you'll prefer batting over bowling. If you bat you'll naturally try to replicate his postures and shots over anyother player. This is a primary reason why this country is able to produce many astonishing batsmans than bowlers after his arrival to Indian cricket.As a matter of fact, cricket did not made him famous, He made cricket famous in india.While he bats,He can stop trains in india, He can bring down the country's production by 5% in america, He can flood the roads with vehicles rushing back home to watch him bat,This genius can stop the time in India.To have such a incredible Fan Following, one should possess some exceptional qualities and he does possesses all of them.

Pick a quote arbitrarily that talks about Perseverance, He will completely fit as an example to that quote.

Pick a quote arbitrarily that talks about Caliber, He will completely fit as an example to that quote.

Pick a quote arbitrarily that talks about Humility, He will completely fit as an example to that quote.

He is the best at his profession, He is a genius of innovations, He is the benchmark batsman,He is who leaves you stranded without words when you tend to praise him,In short, He is what we all want to be.

He is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.

              

While People are busy in publishing books,big books and huge books about him, I am paying my respect in a trivial way by writing this post.

 Reigning 20 years and Raining records

When I was studying 3rd grade, he made his debut in international cricket and today after 20 years during which i have completed my 12 years of schooling, 5 years of my graduations and working for the last 5 years, he is still doing the same what he was doing then, ruling his game, Cricket.

Since he started playing cricket

- India has seen 7 new Prime ministers.

- US $ value has gone up to Rs.46 from Rs.17.

- 107 players have made their debuts in ODIs for India.

- 76 players have made their debuts in Test cricket for India.

- 2 generations has grown old watching him play.

but he still remains there and remains as big as he ever was, dances down the pitch and slams the ball straight behind the bowler for a six. He was a nightmare to the bowlers in the early years of his career and today he still remains a worst nightmare not only to the bowlers but to the captains as well.On the field he shows no respect to the bowlers what-so-ever but off the field, the humility that he shows is a lesson to every human being.

I wonder,could there be a person in this planet who could achieve as much as this man has done in 2 decades. He leaves no field unconquered. 20 Years is a imperative time for any individual human being. In the last 20 years this is what this super human has achieved.

Myriad number of his records
