Lunatics, werewolves, tidal waves, eclipses, Armstrongs, Chandrayaans... All of them are related to moon in someway or the other. Writing this entry on the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to moon, it just amazes me of how much impact the white dotted satellite has on the human history.Been around since the creation/evolution of man (err... and woman), the moon has never ceased to

Long long time since I typed in a blog.. So here goes my thoughts on the latest tamil hit movie "Vaaranam Aayiram". First of all, this movie should not be considered a mainstream commercial movie cos it lacks comedy, a climax or even a villain for that matter. But all said, its a great movie. The movie is a very casual recollection of all the events in a mans life. The thought process starts with

I have always been a bit picky about wasting energy and water. More cos back home in India these two things hit real hard. I also loathed the site of plastic trash sliding down the cliff, which is a common sight in most of the hill stations in India. so is the case with trash thrown out of the trains and busses in public places.But then after coming to the US, I find that the Americans for sure

The Dark Knight instantly managed to graviate me towards the screen after it received rating that even surpassed Godfather in the top 250 movies in IMDB. The movie's unpredictable nature keeps everyone enthralled. The Joker(Heath Ledger) with his exemplary performance shouts out for an Oscar, unfortunately from his grave. The Graphics were amazing. The two faced Harvey Dent must be an epitome of

The movie gets the highest rating by far on my scale in the animated category. the movie surpasses the best contendor "Finding Nemo", "Ice Age" and "The incredibles". The character sketches of each of the robots in the movie is very well articulated. Andrew Stanton (director) has made it possible with animation, what might not be possible with a non-animated movie. This has to be his best movie

The movie is gripping right since the title pops up until the credits roll up. A very gripping script. Prescribed watch for all thriller/action fans. Untraceable - 7/10

August rush - the movie name keeps us clueless of whats to come, until u actually watch the movie. Set with a decent pace, the movie talks about a boy who is in search of his parents, with nothing but Music!!! Yeah.. I know it sounds weird.. But then the director did manage to convey the message, that weird is possible. It kind of feels very silly. I remember when i read the book called "The

Been a long time since I saw a movie that made me laugh, gaze, wonder, think and grieve at the same time. This is surely one. The movie talks about how life changes for two old men when they come to know that their last day in this world is not very far away. They try to make the best out of the time they have. and I guess they did.The Bucket List - 7/10

I always felt that the Tamil music had hit a pitstop which stopped changing since the days of MS Viswanathan, Illayaraja, A R Rehman, and likes.. But then I just came across this band after Gopal told me about it. This is a new wave of music in the Tamil music industry. The new style comes in from Yogi B and his associated band Natchatra, all Malaysian Tamils. The Lyrics are clean and at times

Got the chance to watch the movie "Thank You for Smoking". The movie is quick paced, smart and SMART... Aaron Eckart does a brilliant job acting as a Lobbyist for Tobacco usage. The movie talks about how he works around his career, family and life. A born 'talker' he carries the flag of victoy for the ciggerate companies lobby.

This Tamil movie is something I have been waiting to watch for very long. Its a brilliant piece of story and script, though some might defer the opinion. I personally feel the movie is just great. The way it talks about the past of person. Not of a super hero, not of a super sized muscled fight machine, neither of an aspiring cop. Its set like a story of just another one of us. The commoners.

The classic movie keeps up to its expectations. A Sheer Romantic comedy. The movie deserves the adoration that it very well enjoys. The movie gives a clear perspective into the life in 50s to some extent and very well is able to communicate the kind of bounds and turmoils a royal family member would have. Gregory Peck performs well. Audrey Hepburn is brilliant in her first Hollywood movie. Pssst.

Being around in many cities and roaming about, tends to give so much understanding about each of them that cant be explained but only can be experienced. Every city, town, state, country has a flavour of its own. very similar to a person, an aura that it carries. This aura is predominantly made up by the people who live there. and being in such places you also come to notice certain aspects which

The travel from Cape town was one of the most tiring travels I have had offlate. Leaving early in the morning at 0600hrs, I reached the airport and boarded to flight to Johannesburg. 2 hours later in johannesurg wondering what to do, I spent the 3 hours idling away in the shops and buying some stuff for back home. then the long 8.5 hours journey landed me in my favourite city of mumbai at half

Finally after those unsuccessful attempts to scale the table mountain, I did manage to be on the top. Well... i chose a different mode though. I chose to generate some revenue for the cable car company of table mountain. I took the cable car up with Iw. It was a great evening. I left office early on my last working day in cape town and went to table mountain, met up with Iw and we crashed upwards

It has always surprised me.. the first time when i went to Mumbai, and when i spoke in Hindi to people, they would always ask where I was from. And I would say "chennai - Madras". and they would say, " Oh... Madras.. tumhari Hindi toh kaafi achhi hai. Lag nahi raha ki tum madras se ho..".

With all that greif, not left with much of an option but to be wary of what I do, what I write and what I express.... My Siblings found this blog.. :(Prad, stop that devilish smile.

I just cant wait for the day when, 'the day' comes. When would the day come when i would stop wondering how the Scottish manage to wear the kilt with nothing under. Guess, I will have to wait for just about a couple of days, when Scotland would embrace me. Or I would embrace Scotland. Am more excited about going to Scotland that I was to come to England. England never gave me the right vibes.

What did I do....?Saturday is a day that gonna stay and linger on for days and years to come... It has left a never eraseable aspect in my life, just skin deep but... will last for a looong time to come, probably till the grave. The day started with having my bum crashed about atleast 10 times on the ice rink, where i was trying my hand at ice skating. Man, what a fall!! By the end of the hour at

Weekends have been Good. But I have not been actually blogging them cos I don't want my blog to turn into a travelogue, though it looked like it few months back. Always wanted to blog, but wondering what to blog i restrain myself for the tricked thoughts that flow in. So finally i decided i would write something about things that I saw that were different.

Yet another British weekend. But different experiences this time. Saturday was great. Meeting up old classmates of NITIE in a place which is miles apart from the place we met first time, was sure worth remembering. Nikhil, Samoj, Meril and Myself from the NITIE front. Khatri from the TCS front and few more of his friends(supposedly, the entire Indian crowd of some place near Manchester). We all

Well.. Well.. Well... The land of the Brits is not very welcoming. After facing and living thru all the twists an turns of an eventful travel, I reached the London. Rewind.... Let me tell about the travel experience as a whole. I had asked the Taxi guy to come and pick me at 1.00am for the 4.15 flight, apprehensively, thinking, 3 hours of lead time is just too much.

Things are moving... finally...Lot of things happening at office. After lot many days.. just updated my Orkut Album. It was actually an interesting excercise, I went thru almost all the fotografs taken during all the recent trips i have had in the past 1 year. Compiled few of the good ones and edited  them for a nice album. Of all, I liked the Collage that Picasa makes. The effect is really good.

It was just too good to get back to a place you can call yours. Though a shorter stint as compared to my earlier one, I didnt like the project. But before leaving Mumbai, I made sure I have a feel of how the days were couple of years back. I went to Hiranandani on the day that i was leaving. ICICI, Galleria. Parrathas. And Baskin Robbins. Almost relived the past. Did it all alone though. Anyway,

What the hell has happened these media people? Their increasing number of 'Exclusives', 'Breaking News', 'SanSani Khabar' and all that crap is just a clear example of presence of too many news channels but nothing noteworthy and worthwhile to show.

Travelling is a new found passion for me. Its something that gives me a different perspective of life and about how people live. It has kindled more and more interests that i never knew were so strong in me. I recently downloaded a set of images of the National Geographic Society. I was totally engrossed in the pictures that i had. Looking at them, I understood how much of life has been untouched

Transporter-2. I mean how sad and fake can a movie get? All through the movie i was wondering if it was a chineese movie starring Michelle Yeoh, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat and Jet Li all together. The animation was so pathetic, and the scene where the car turns topsy-turvy and hits the crane hook... Yuck!!! Transporter was  good. If it was not, I guess i saw it long time back when i was a kid. I

I have seen movies where people are inspired. Inspired to change the world they live in. Inspired to change the way the live. But for all that happens there a is one thing in common. A strong belief. A strong belief in what one believes is right. Seeing the movie Motorcycle diaries makes me wonder what is it that would change a person? Is it when circumstances bring face-face what he didnt

Lots of things happened in the past few days. The earliest event that i can remember was about my Bangalore trip, which i guess, I have written about a bit. To start with, as Alex asked me to, was my all famous and my first bike accident. Or I should say, how i actually avoided an serious accident. Travelling in about 50kmph, OMR was courteous enough to give me this 'experience'. The car in front

Being out of Chennai, was like a break from myself. But after coming here did i realise that any place i go, i feel excited for a very short time, i need change, that too rapid ones, to keep me engadged, or some reallllly really interesting company sith similar likes as mine. Am gonna have some serious problem after am married, i can foresee it. Lets hope my partner keeps me interested in her,

Chennai, as all would say is a boring place void of any kind of 'fun' for the nights. But just as everyone knows, "Necessity is the mother of invention". So i too have managed to find something to do for myself. Its fast paced, vrooming and exciting. For a sample of what i drive... Thats what Need For Speed - Most Wanted has done to me. For starters who believe that fun is not part of the

Long time no posts on my blog. My traveller instincts have almost gone for a toss, after reaching Chennai. This was anticipated, of course. But sometimes, its pretty strange how the thing you wanted to do get most(reaching hometown), curtails the next best thing you love(Travelling). Well, all i can think of right now is that its a worthy break from being myself. Back into the 5x5 cubicle format

Back at Chennai, its a great feeling. Bidding adieu to Gurgaon(finally) was yet another great feeling. But not before, showing my due respects to the movie theatre and the malls on the day i had to leave. I made it to the PVR and watched V for Vendetta. All alone, as it was a working day and its pretty obvious that its tough to find company on a weekday. I liked the movie. I would rate it about 8

It was long awaited trip, almost for 2-3 months. Satheesh and GK finally made it to Delhi. Our trip was set atleast a month prior. But i was not very sure if it would realise just as planned, 'cos it just sounded too good to happen. Both have them had booked their tickets in Air-Deccan. And the day was Holi.

The day started as early as 5.15 is. But it went for a seizure at 5:15:05 am when I switched off the alarm and went back to continue my early morning sleep. After couple of tough trials to break my morning slumber I was successful at last. Had an early breakfast of the same paratha's that I have almost become used to. Actually, nowadays I do not differentiate between them. U can picture me like a

Almost after a week, my blog must deserve better attention... Isnt it?Last week was one that accomodated another one of the events that i would remember for a long time to come. And it was the Republic day parade. I made sure that i saw it atleast once in my lifetime. And i did manage to do it. It was nice, but i think i like to see it in TV rather than in person, cos you get to see the events

It was a different weekend this time. Alex was not here. You should have been here man. The plans for the weekend had started early last week. It was to go to Patiyala for Harpreet's(TCS Colleague) marriage. First Amritsar to the Golden temple followed by a visit to the Wagah border to see the evening rituals of the gate closing. But the winter had cut down our plans. Actually it was not cold,

Back at Delhi after a break of 2 weeks at Delhi is a pleasant thing to happen. But to see that the place has gone colder than it was when I left forces me to reconsider my notion. My chennai visit was really packed up with lots to do. The things that am happy that I did areAttend Ashik’s marriageBuy a DVD combo drive, UPS and a hard disk for my PC.Meet almost all my friends( I missed a few too)

Alex joined us at about 1100 hrs. Next came in Ashish, Surabhi's cousin. We went to see the movie "Neal n Nikki". U can under no standards say that movie is 'viewable' by people under 21.

I would not be exactly doing justice to my blog and its readers if i do not write about my very recent vacation trip to Manali. To begin with it was nothing less than Awesome. We were a total of 7 people. So myself and my colleagues left for Manali on thursday evening. After the initial hiccups of arranging a vehicle for the trip and the driver not coming in time, we did somehow manage to leave

The day when I started trading onlineToday is a day of grave importance to me. Why? Cos it is this day in the vast landscape of history when I put my money into the stock market and actually started trading in stocks. I made about a profit of Rs. 50. Very menial money I know, but still, something that I could. And by the way I also bought a share of Nicolas Piramal. And had to face loss in it.

My Delhi VisitThis weekend was spent doing something different. I went on a Delhi trip. Looking at places that are nearby and are worth a visit. This time my colleagues from TCS were accompanying me. Left Gurgaon at 10.30 in the morning. And after doing the Milk run process of picking up people, we reached Qutub Minar. I liked it the last time I had been about 6 ½ years back. But now I liked it

Rather this is to inform those “millions” of blog readers who dropped into this site (Thanks to Alex) that the statement made by Alex are not entirely true. The claim made by Alex that “we moved our lazy-asses” is not true. Cos there is only one pair of lazy ass that lies around loitering the malls of Gurgaon, and those belong undoubtedly to Alex

Those American Dogs…The statement sounds rude, doesn’t it? Well, for people who think am out of my minds or have become a jingoist, think again. I actually AM referring to the Dogs in US rather than people. We always know strange things happen in US, compared to what would happen in India. A simple example is a power cut. In India, it is a routine to shed power when there is excess demand for

I know this comes after a long time. Actually was reconsidering the decision of whether to post this picture or not. Anyway, finally thought i'll let the whole world see the 'wonder' that i have got used to looking at(everyday, thanks to the mirror).There you go people... ..

Yesterday, was a good day. It kinda opened my eyes. My long time thirst for some GOOD music was quenched. Had been to MDI yesterday. Thanks to Alex, and a friend of his, managed to get in for the concert of KK. It was a real good show. The guy is a great stage performer. He knows how to handle the crowd. The best part was the crowd itself. The students were full of life. A free environment

The question most of the people I know ask me is. “Hey, so how do u find Delhi?” Truth: ‘Hometown is the best’. Answer that I give: ‘Have not seen much of it to make a comment.’ Would like to share a few things that I observed here. Coming on a project was a good thing actually to a place like this. Why? One, ‘cos never ever would I like/want to come to North, in fact to Delhi in Particular. Two,

You know what? I just found out why Budha or any other wise men beecame the wise men that they were. Basically they were bored. They were bored as they had nothing else to do, of course being a prince gives you lot of leisure time to think about the world and the place around you.And the place where you sat and thought is bound to become a place of sanctity ( the place below the knowledge tree, i

Khandala, to me looks like a golden cage right now. Lots to look outside, but hardly any time to have fun. The following are just a few pics i had taken at Khandala.Take a look at them. Its a pretty place. Dont search for me. You just might not find me.If u want to look at me, then i guess this would be the link for it.

Being on this hilltop in the 3-star accomodation, i often worry, will the company ever get any ROI on the investment it does on me.By the way, am out of NITIE, and onto Khandala. The training takes the life out of me. Right from morning 9.00 to evening 6.00 the regular timings. Ofcourse, i should not miss out the special day today that extended till 8.15 in the night.

My short stay at TCS-DZ is over atleast for now. The project went on 'OK'. and so did the project presentation. Ofcourse i cannot forget the how screwed up i felt, after the presentation for the whitepaper. Guess bad things are there only to be forgotten. All i can do is to look forward to an explosive time at NITIE, for the 2 weeks ahead, which will include movies+friends+parties+fun. Mumbai I

I always get to hit upon one of these personality tests, which always pretend as if, they know more about you, than yourself. Just hit upon one of them.Check it out.You are Spearmint.You are quick-witted and sharp. You pay closeattention to details and you can tell what yourfriends are feeling. You are always the firstto understand a joke and you are valued foryour insight and advice. However,

This has got to be one of the most gripping stories that i have ever read. It comes from one of the Blog sites that i had earlier referred to:http://girlwithbigeyes.blogspot.com/2005/04/ant-i-climax.htmlBy the way, i did not inform the author of the above story that i have taken her story to put it on my blog. I hope she does not mind. It was a truly splendid piece of literature. What say alex?

Thats funny, isnt it? "On the path of Self realisation.. " Ha aha h. Guess should have titled this blog something else. But anyway. I was willing to share this set of Online personality tests that i came across recently. They are kind of interesting. Probably I find them so, cos I was said to resemble the character of "Einstein".What Famous Leader Are You?personality tests by similarminds.comDo

My recent pass time is reading blogs rather than actually writing them. Its kind of nice to read other people's blogs, cos u get to see more of variety than urself. Do i make any sense here at all? Well, guess the nuts and bolts of my brain are rusting faster than i thought.guys check out this site. Just another blog site, but i find it very funny and witty.

Its been a couple of weeks (I, guess) since I blogged the last time. But not much has changed, except my 2 visits back home, where I had lots and lots of sleep. And how to forget my toothache. It really pains, I am pulling on my life, like 'Max Payne', in the classic game, eating painkillers, and telling myself that I am as fine as Superman.After almost one and a half weeks, today Ganesh, my

My short stint at TCS has taught me 2 major things...Meril is a KIDA Consultant doesnt have much to do.Doing the project, i have found that this creature called Meril, is a "KID". She is always so excited about the project that she believes, she cuold change the way TCS functions, by doing a 'process-map'. And me a sad soul, as usual, hate doing things untill, it is right above your head, eating

Hey guys... It was yet another memorable day today. Chinnapayan called me at 11.58pm, and was the first one to wish me. Just in case "someone" forgot it, it is my birthday today. Next as it is the ritual here, I had to show my innocent ass to guys(not nude), to the great football players of my batch. And they try their new style of kicking on the 2 footballs i have ;)Then as the

The Blog fever seems to have got me like hell... So thanks to the great Creative king Alex Joseph... for bringing me in. So wat do i write? I have this problem that i never know wat to tell and wat to talk, in the process not talking anything and boring the person with me. After a long time i got to chat with Raja today. And passed him the Spooph folder, so he is all happy & Gay. Yeah forgot
