Out of place :)  

19 July, 2007

Living in a new city has completely transformed me and has made me independent. I am no more dependant on so many stuff which I had been dependent on till a month ago. My day’s inception - Myself waking up even before my alarm rings or at times even when it rings I don’t snooze it these days. No wake up calls from mom or dad :((
I don’t get my bed coffee. I miss my mom. It’s long since I watched television. I don’t get to watch jaya TV which is my dad's favorite channel [being admk ;)] he watches anything and everything on it and I end up teasing him. But now I miss my dad and his jaya TV too.

When I get ready to college, me and my brother have our breakfast together, fighting who gets the dosa being prepared by mom. Incessantly teasing each other and pulling each other's legs. At the end the whole lot is at my favour.Now that during my breakfast. I find my way to the kitchen and then take the dosa and dine all by myself. no one to tease around and fight for the hot one, I miss him so much badly.
Driving to college on the IT highway in my Scooty has always been something I never grumbled about. I find myself singing along when I ride. Now that I take a lifeless office shuttle to my office, where my i-pod sings but me being in some other thoughts, I miss my Scooty and the amazing IT highway. The traffic is threatening and is sick at Bangalore. I rarely go by bus in Chennai but then i have made note of bus routes from my place to MG road or commercial street and to the railway station .amidst the heavy rush and long journey i am learning to like it.
The crowd at my place is not all that new .It is familiar and makes me feel at Chennai especially Velachery.

In spite of all the musings that one can lament over being in a new city, it is the climate of Bangalore that is soothing me and making me feel fresh. I relish my travel to my office in the morning with the cool breeze over me. and the drizzles in the afternoon and late evening make me feel pleasant. Watching the take off and landing of the flights, from my terrace makes me feel good. And must-to-be-mentioned my workplace is cool and I would be exploring much newer aspects of my new adventures in the outside world independently!!

Of packing and moving !

Moving to a new place never meant SO MUCH to Me. Yeah it’s all-new.With lots of advices and wishes I am set for moving on! :)

SET?? Ahem. This cannot be from tip to toe true .I have no mood to move on! I am just lazing around in my home, and now its all very tough!

Packing to an out-station for tours and trips just stopped with taking up all necessary stuffs like dress, paste-brush-soap, comb, etc. But now the list seems to be completely long including vim, surf, hanger, clips, clock, etc., etc. Why not it includes my passions –Books and Music.

I make sure my mp3 player is loaded with all my favorite collections, my pen drive, digital camera and its battery charger is in. Call Me a Technical Savvy! I wanted to have a video I-pod (will get in august probably).

Name it Technological Development!

I read an article in today’s paper classifying youth into two categories - those who are equipped with all tech gadgets & gizmos and the second “the wannabe’s”. Yeah! Technical gadgets seem to have taken over our life and define self and no exceptions are made for me.

Moving to one of the advanced cities (read: Bangalore) in India, I don’t know how it’s all going to be for me. Catching trains or buses to come home during the long awaited weekends has already become my nightmares! The climate in Chennai is cool (!!) and I assure everyone that this is how Bangalore is going to be. Assurances apart but I WILL miss home like hell (understatement!!) and why not my good ol’ Chennai!

So keeping this post short and will get back to you with my musings at the new city sooner!

Incomplete !

I still couldn't give a reasonable answer to people as to why I blog .
And even now I don't find a reason why I am hitting my screen with all these letters when it is time for someone (of course that's ME) to have a good night sleep. I am keeping up the good English grammar in my write up :)

I sometimes wonder. Yeah I just keep wondering. I couldn’t myself make out what I mull over.Myriad of thoughts seem to subsist in my mind at the same time, leaving me baffled. I haven't watched Thalaivar's movie yet I wake up on a Saturday and find an sms "The BOSS is rocking". Then someone tells me its not all that great.Another friend tells me its not Rajini's movie its Shankar's movie.
Whatsoever the case may be why should I probably take space to put up them?

Soon after my exams I wanted to write about my 4 years of college, but I dint. "Bloggers block" I haughtily call it as, but up to what extent has the block affected me.Or at times I can iterate my status to be "busy ". I am really busy speculating about nothing at all.

The clock in my room shows 5.30 and my system time is 1.23 pm and I don't even know the actual time. It is only a little nothing that I have in my mind made me write this blog. I just start this blog wanting to tell about something but my mind wavers. I wonder if I have to write about my new job or about my college life or about anything at all. I just open my window to look at the starry sky. And yea I am wondering who is looking at then same star from elsewhere. Impressed by the message,
"When you are missing me try to look at the star in the sky,
Even though we are not in the same place we may be looking at the same star"

I wonder I should have been familiar with all the theories in science. I still make reminders for making some phone calls and I haven't done them yet!I have mixed feelings as to how my work is going to be.I wonder about the communities on orkut- "not all relationships have names"(??)
And quite weird is "nobody knows I am crying" and if you are a part of this community, then everyone probably knows you cry. Silly.

1 year and 2 months at blogspot and I still don't write anything sensible huh?? To sip a cup of coffee is all my desire right now but I know how traumatic it is to do that .I haven’t gone nuts. Should have I gained more general knowledge or more knowledge on movies or on politics or on music or on literature or on. The list goes on ..

Unclear thoughts and incomprehendable memories ..

I wish I wrote posts like "I sat there looking at the sea and it was beautiful".
Now I accidentally hit my mobile. I had almost forgotten its existence and the time is 00:32 and I have some excuses to be awake now .My system time is 2.24pm. I am still clueless. I leave this post incomplete. when I was almost done with this blog there was some crash and Microsoft Word quit unexpectantly and it is then that I realized how meaningless it had been to my system too but then found it as Rescued Document in My documents .Its worth my time and pain !

LOVE YA CHENNAI

Prologue: This one was written for a contest !

Come South, here I am welcoming you to a city of diverse ethnicity, the alluring metro CHENNAI. 20 years in this city has marked a great difference not only in me but also in anyone who loves the place not only as city but also as a mother. A city with amenities like Multiplexes, Shopping malls, and Food courts, beaches, and lots and even lots more. Chennai offers you world class living milieu.

Wanna drive on a lane that is traffic-free as in the US, then take a drive down the IT corridor leading to the ECR driveway. Wow ! Chennai rocks.

Jaded of the serene drive ,get into the city ,explore the congested areas of Chennai . Mount road , Kathipara junction , T nagar – This is Chennai making you have a amusing drive in high traffic .Experience and have fun !

So now are you dead beat of self –driving . So why wait ? Get into an auto, share auto or bus .Experience the bitterness of life. Fight with the auto driver for the high fare. But still amidst all these , our chennai autos get you to the desired destination in time and your work is done !

Are you a software engineer , earning in thousands .If you are swaggering that you have only hundreds and dollars and credit cards in your purse , then why don’t you try “One day bus travel “ Get into one of the MTC buses , give your hundred or fifty for exchange of a ticket . The next word that comes out of our conductor is “Change ??” So if your answer is No, now be ready .Our conductor is to shower his abuses on you . This is Chennai helping you to experience every little thing in life.

Whacked of work all through out the week.So its Sunday and where to head ??

Chennai is famous for its Beaches. So go to the beaches of Chennai either Marina or Elliot’s or those on the ECR. Grandeur of beach or Garbage of Beach – you can enjoy both in Chennai.

IT parks, Tech parks ,Food courts , Cultural events , music festival , traffic diversion , flyover construction – The one place with all these and anything you want . Thats my Chennai. Love ya chennai.

Unnale Unnale  

17 April, 2007

“God created men first. So that means men are superior “. “ There is a need for trial before perfection. So obviously women are a cut above and perfect than men “ – This is how the story of “Unnale Unnale” – a film by Jeeva begins. After creating much waits, the film has hit the screen on Tamil New Year.

The spat between who is superior is carried out through out the movie by Karthik (debut Vinay) and Jhansi (Sadha). “Love at first sight “ still being adopted in Tamil movies is no exception for Karthik to fall in love with Jhansi. Their love blossoms with much of Jhansi’s doubts and expectations troubling Karthik who loves to enjoy his life.

So at one point of time they both take their own roads.

Karthik is sent on an assignment to Australia where on his trip he meets Deepika (debut Tanisha) who is friendly, bubbly and too cool for a gal. Jhansi and Deepika work for the same firm. The triangle love story begins here when Deepika falls in love with Karthik.

With not much twists and turns Jhansi still never lets her ego go off, but goes off from Karthik.

The story tries to adopt many scenes and portrayals from some bollywood movies. Raju Sundaram and Srinath whose glimpse in the first few minutes of the movie along with the hero make us conjure up the three friends of “Dil Chahta hai “ – The same funky, cool guys who ever like to have fun and hang out with girls.

Jhansi’s portrayal in the movie as a solemn, somber girl and Karthik asking her to smile and live life every moment creates nostalgic reminiscences of “Kal ho na ho”.

Cast and Crew:

Sadha has no role in the movie other than fighting, arguing with karthik or staring at the camera irately. Tanisha who has done her part well needs some applause, but Kollywood is not the right place for her. Vinay doesn’t create a sense amidst the audience that he is a debut, the music of Harris Jeyaraj and picturization of songs and scenes shooted at Australia are good. “June ponal “ definitely needs a good round of applause.

With an out of the blue climax, though a normal one, the film with rich scenes which doesn’t stay in our minds after 3 hours could be described as “A fad not worth for a movie. “
