Whats new?

I have always had this endless TO DO list. Sometime it seems to me that I am more fond of making such a list than of actually doing the things listed in my TO DO list. Few days ago, the Madras Players (a drama group) performed in our auditorium a really good drama (The Proof). After seeing that I was like, I want to join a drama school. So joining a drama school happens to be in my TO DO current list quiet on top. But to replace that, now I have "Learn Bharat Natyam" on the top!! I used to learn bharatnatyam as a kid. I learnt it for 4 years. But then left it due to various reasons, the main being I had to study for my school. Today I saw an amazingly refreshing bharatnatyam performance by Ms.Priyadarshini Govind. I felt so rejuvenated and happy. It was like seeing someone create magic. I must ask all of you Chennaiites to definitely make a point and see her perform.

Thanks to this performance, Bharatnatyam has taken the topmost place in my list. I agree I haven't done much about joining the drama school and probably I will just sit over the idea of starting to learn bharatnatyam. But thats the whole point of these TO DO lists. The very purpose of these TO DO lists. You may chose to go ahead and do as you planned the same day. OR.....You can come back to them after a long long time and do the things you didn't when you made a note of them. I hope I do join drama school one day and also finish my arangetram one day. And also fly an aircraft one day :) Who knows...........?

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...

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...?...

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 ...
