Cafe

Think of a cafe, where the music is really loud and noisy, the waiters are as reluctant as you could have, and most of all the coffee is as bad (or as good) as the coffee we could make at home. I know one such cafe. And surprisingly I visit it quiet often. Its called "Bay Watch" (yeah, thats the name. Probably as bad as it could have been too).

So why on earth would I go there. Probably because I might be crazy or may be because such a place will never be crowded 'cause nobody will go and so there I will be. But sadly that's not the case. Its not only me but a whole bunch of people who love going there. And yet again the relevant question: why on earth? Well, forgot to tell you a small point, it is right opposite to the (Besant Nagar) beach.

A whole patch of sand spreading for some distance and then white froth of waves coming ahead and going behind creating a rhythm of its own. It is an open air cafe on the first floor, wind blows into you, as if, when it would recede it would take you with it. The distance of it from the sea is also perfect. It is the distance from where you can see the waves but for the sound of them, you have to crave. I would highly recommend this place to those in Chennai.

The "What next...?" demon

What next?.... When I was a kid, I always thought that there is a certain age till when this question will bother me and after that, like for my parents, things will be in order. Life will fall into a routine and I will never again be confronted with this demon called "what next?". But turns out, for our generation, there is no point of rest. The demon is a part of our life like stability was for the generation before us. This realisation is also stale by now. In fact, it has been more than a few years since I even resigned to this way of life. The time period between such a realisation and resignation was hard, I must confess. But not anymore! The confrontations with this demon are a reassurance of life itself! (feels embarrassed after having said such things....) My childish philosophies may be sounding hilarious to you (reader). (Thank me for the entertainment! You are welcome!) What I wish to announce is: for a while, I do have an answer to one such "what next...?...

Slumdog Millionaire, what's the fuss all about?

I saw the movie a few days ago. I really don't understand: why so much fuss? If an Indian director makes a fully filmy hindi movie, no one gives a damn about it. But some non-indian comes and makes this movie and people are going all ga ga about it. A.R. Rehman has given music better than "jai ho". Anil Kapur has done roles better than this. This movie has set new records in making a big deal out of a not-so-amazing movie. I say this because, even a huge fuss has been made about why there is so much fuss about this movie. That is like the second order fuss about the movie! And here, I am making the third order fuss with a huge lot accompanying me in doing so. To start the tirade-- The main guy is such a put off! He has a unique expression on his face, indicating he really has no clue what people are talking about. You are supposed to be poor, not dumb for god's sake! Even some of the witty lines are lost due to his dialog delivery. For example, when one police man say...

Valentine's special

its a love story of two strange people who never knew they could fall for each other when they first met they only ended up fighting but slowy it became clear to them that they sure shared something a small problem happened when pride overtook him he thought she was less smarter than him she would solve a puzzle and he would solve it again he would tell her that she was simply an idea away from him... he said that he always gets this idea and then he does all that she can and probably much more... one day she decided his behaviour had to be checked she thought for a while and then she said... fine, then you sure can do everything but if you are strictly more smart you have to do the following think of some puzzle that you can easily do and then give it to me to solve and lets see if i can't do.... all the king's men and all the king's horses could not come up with a puzzle like this the duo got closer and the world around more curious today as it stands the puzzle is still ...
