Slumdogs of 'Slumdog Millionaire' are millionaires...

You might feel bad to see a series of critic posts on this blog these days. I don't know. I had the least interest in writing this post. Though I'm not eligible in writing a critic on this coz I haven't seen the movie (I'll keep the references to it to the minimum), please do read. When I say slumdogs in the title of this post, I just mean it to say 'members' and not to degrade them.

Whats irritating me these days is media and the hype it creates around silly issues. I open the newspaper to see news of only the Oscars. Do they do it every year?

Well let me tell you the story I understood from those I met whoever saw the movie.

This person, the hero is brought up in Dharavi Slum of Mumbai. He's got a childhood lover, who departs from the slum or whatever and he starts his search for her allover. This goes on and on and on... One day, he is selected for a reality show, something like 'Who wants to be a Millionaire?' and for all the questions asked over there, he'll have the answer which is obtained from some experience when he was in search for her love. Finally he becomes a millionaire, and also finds his lover I guess...

This is what I heard.

Pretty vague, plane. Sounds like some stupid Hindi movie. The movie is being directed by some Hollywood director and thats the only way it found an entry into the Oscars and other international awards.

They say that India is being wrongly picturised in the film. We had petitions signing that it should not enter the Oscars, though it failed. It won 8 Oscars. Whats so much in celebrating for the whole country if a film directed by a foreigner, depicting the country in a wrong manner wins a global award? Should we actually celebrate or criticize? I see the people of Dharavi Slums celebrating the success of the movie but their state of living in slums hasn't been changed yet. Why are they celebrating? As usual, we have these politicians commenting that 'Slumdog Millionaire' and AR Rehman has made India proud of winning an Oscar. I say CRAP. I feel shamed to hear them say that.

I might offend AR Rehman's fans when I say this but I have to say. I dont listen to much of ARR, in fact I dont listen to him at all. May be some of the blog readers (If he is reading this post, he would surely do) would expect a post from me asking why I dont actually like his music. I would answer it in a few sentences. I dont listen to his music just because, I see a sense of surrenderness in it. Its like saying, you are the one for me, without you, I don't have anything. That kinda music. That suits to certain songs but not all. This is what I felt. Do not get offended.

To add more, there are quite a few instances, wherein say i meet a person. he/she tries to get close and we share things among us. When it comes to music, I see most of them are ARR fans, and they are shocked when I say, I don't listen to him. They say 'What music do you listen to if you don't listen to ARR?' Huh! This certainly irritates me. Don't impose your taste on me. I have my own likings. There are many instances like this. Don't come to a conclusion that I don't like him coz of this reason. I just thought of sharing this.

I'm not saying that he doesnt deserve an Oscar. I'm no one to say that. I'm indifferent in that case. I haven't listned to the songs of the movie. I dont bother whether he gets it or not, but I just can't stand the hype what the media has created. He might deserve. I don't know. I'm against the media when they praise a lot. Anybody for that matter.

As a person I feel he is simple and I like that simplicity. I don't see him roaring on stage when getting an award.

On the other hand, I was watching 'The Taxi Driver', just watch it, I was shocked to hear that it didnt win an Oscar. A good movie by Martin Scorsese directing Robert De Niro. Do watch it. I feel it has a better story that Slumdog Millionaire. Its about a common man who turns a taxi driver just because he cannot sleep. He feels that the city (New York) is filled with filth and hopes that 'Someday a real rain will come and wash this scum off the streets.'

Check out the dialogues. Its really interesting. Some are really gem. I suggest you watch the movie. Watch the sequence when Travis Bickle says 'You talkin to me?' hehehe! Here is one of the gem I found.

Here is a man who would not take it anymore.
A man who stood up against the scum...
the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit.

More of such kinda movies are always welcomed. I don't like comparing things, but here, I say SDM doesnt come near to the Taxi Driver.

All I mean with the title is that the team members of Slumdog Millionaire are rich now. Good for them but what I intend to say is that publicity in this scale was not expected. I'm not curbing for them.

I just read the news that Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and the likes may enter Bollywood. WHY?????? To make some crap movies? Let them be what they are. Let them not enter Bollywood which is filled with crap(Exceptions are always there). The person who is pulling them in is some Feroz Nadiadwala. I see these Nadiadwala films and they are always Muslim oriented. My friend dragged me to one of his movies which I had denied to watch, the movie was named 'Welcome'. I nearly fainted when I saw a song where all of them were Hindus (on and off the screen), dancing for a song 'Inshaa Allah!!' SHAAAAA! Don't you think this Nadiadwala is a crap guy?

Hoping the De Niros and the Pacinos do not enter Bollywood.

Rant on Social networking sites...

P1: Hey you use facebook?
P2: No! I use orkut. I'm okay with it.
P1: Orkut?? They flick ideas from facebook. It sucks bigtime...

[Suddenly P3 enters]

P3 : Orkut? Facebook? Grow up guys! Use LinkedIn!
P4 : I'm satisfied with Hi5!
P5 : Haven't you used WAYN?
........
........
........

This list goes on and on and on... Just like amaron batteries.

Have seen many such discussions, but haven't involved in any of them. Thought I'll blog out my opinion, hence this post. Though I consider this post to consider some junk things, still...

I've been using some of these social networking sites, just for the heck of using it. I aint a guy who considers something serious in doin so. But have seen many taking such things in a pretty serious manner.

P2 : Hey why don't you scrap me back once I scrap you?
P1 : [Scratching his head] Well! I just forgot!!??
P2 : How can you forget??? you @#$%# ^%$^$@ @#$ #$@# $% $%^$ .....

No surprise in hearing such conversations either.

Well according to me it can be one of a many ways to stay in touch. It shouldnt be the only way. Most of the people using such things take it in the second way I mentioned, updating their profiles with silly statuses, expecting friends to comment on them. They upload photos, videos, install applications(some good ones, some real stupid), share softwares, create communities, comment their views in those communities, some make it a means for mass communication, (inviting for marriage???)....

These says each and everyone is creating such communities, some have started mergin other services into this, like a free mail account, free blog .... To name a few social networking sites, here they are orkut, facebook, linkedin, wayn, yaari, twitter, hi5, friendorama, fanbox.......

Some prefer some sites to other. Some consider using a social networking site cheap! Some delete their account in one site as they found a better site elsewhere. (May be they think that their friends who use only the new site, treat him as a second grade citizen if they found him using the other site as well, there are many such instances I've seen.)

Now, tell me, these things are just for fun. Why should you consider it in a serious fashion? Treat them all equally. If you don't like a site, don't enroll into it. Do not give false publicity to it, neither negative publicity.

I can provide you many links where many blogs point out what to do (n what not to also) in such sites.

Regarding flicking ideas from one site to another, if the idea is good and helps in better communications, its good to include it. (Though they can't mention that they've taken this idea from one such site), they can implement it in a better way or implement something better that that. There is no harm in doing that. IT IS JUST FOR TIMEPASS!

Ultimately, only people who are getting used from these sites are the owners of it earning money. So, it all boils down to the same thing.

Had more points to mention. couldn't find any now. Will post it as it comes in the same post. GTG! Will blog asap! =)

Viparyaasa...

Things are flashin in ma mind! Pickin this topic t'day.

This post is tellin you how one gets every critical thing at once to make your things worser.

There is a senior @ my office. 2 years senior to me. Lets call him 'A'. Till one and a half years, there was no contact between us. Both were sittin' in different locations. Ten months ago, he shifted to our office. He is one level above me in the corporate ladder.

Though he was not in our project, we used to just encounter almost everyday. Both of us were indifferent when we met face to face. As always, I wore a smile on my face. He smiled back for courtesy sake. Days passed on... We continued smilin' at each other. Hehe =).

One day their team were discussin some offline topic, outa project when i just passed thru their cubicle, one of our common friend in that project asked for my opinion for which I replied with one. He added to my point and since then, we started speakin to each other.

Again, things went on smoothly. We were speakin casually everyday for a minute or so. That was the max.

Two months ago, he came to my cubicle with our common friend to invite me to his marriage. I took the invitation, smiled at him that I would come. (As you all do. Obviously! Hmm!!). His marriage was a week or two ahead. Inside, I was calculating whether to go or not. To add on, the customs vary between us. I needn't explain why as you guys would have guessed it right. I dont mind going to such weddings given I only wish them. No taking food. I never feel like havin something in such an environment peacefully. Till date, I haven't been to such weddings.

Now comes the worst part. He went on his marriage vacation that week. Unfortunately, my manager was not in the station. Even more, my senior in the team were abroad. I was the seniormost person in the team! ( What a pathetic conditon our team was under me! =( ).

There came an urgent release to be made on the previous Friday which was postponed to Monday. The marriage was on Wednesday. Thanks to the issues and our infrastructure, both the machine as well as our product didnt go on well. Release date shifted one day everyday that week.

On Wednesday, when we were about to release, the machine we were testin on gave us a problem and I couldnt leave the office for the reception of A. To my fortune, we finally released it the next Friday (Oooooof!!).

Two weeks passed by. Enter the married A, I looked at him for which he didn't respond. I found it strange. He had thought in the wrong direction. Once again, I need not explain everything.
He refuses to speak to me silently in various mannerism. Hehe. Even today I saw him for which he didn't respond lookin @ my face.

I didn't apologised to him for not attending his wedding as i hate to give reasons. What happened just happened. Giving reasons to something what happened is just plain bullshit in human relationship. I need not give reasons to anyone especially those whom i consider my friends.

Hope things get straight. Shall post another soon.

Can't Help it! Girl Can't Help it!

Taken from Fergie's Clumsy, the title is so perfect to this post!

Writing post like this, I feel pretty bad to write this post. This is about females who stare at me everyday (Weekdays, thank god!) just as if I had stolen something from 'em. Can give many examples. Almost all females in my office barring those who I interact with (diplomatic). There is a female just beside my cubicle, (good that there is a divider in between), who at any point of time I get up, looks @ me (due to change in her view), literally frowns. =(. I really dont know the reason. This is just an example.

Now, I'm not regretting for this. I do not have a reason. Its their attitude. I don't mind whatever they do(In fact, I'm least bothered). Still, I tried to get a reason for that hatred shown towards me. Someone within stimulated me to find a reason behind this. What I feel would be the reason is,

1. My Appearences : I used to and continue to go to office with a thick beard. Many people build up a misconception that all bearded men are rowdies. To add onto that, I go to office with my uncut hairs which looks like a bush for many. some used to call me Sai-Baba (Puttaparthi), lookin at my hairs.

2. The way I speak to male friends( sometimes over phone with my college friends), is totally casual, adding onto my appearence, this might give them an opinion that I'm speakin somthin offensive! Hmm.

Factors like this make me a junglee type of person. I really don't know why am I bloggin this. Didn't get a betta topic. Passing my time writing this.

Comment on what you feel. I don't think you would feel anything goin thru this.

Just a few things i came across this week!

Hey!

Just listing two interesting things i came across this week! Most of you might be knowing atleast the first thing, just bringing it to your notice.

1. Google Reader: This is one tool which does your feed's job! You dont need to visit blogs, pages of your interest that get updated quite frequently every now and then if you've got this configured. You can configure this (which is stupidly easy), so that you get automatic updates of changes in those links. Just click the link to get a tour of it! I've already configured most of the sites, blogs i do visit. Pretty useful.

2. freerice.com: This is just a promotion! Dunno how true it is but seems like it serves its purpose. No matter what you'll test your vocabulary by visiting the site. This thing is happening since 7th October 2007 and they've donated quite a bit of rice grains since then,
The game is simple. You gotta match the meaning of the word mentioned among the four given choices, You're right? you donate 10 grains of rice through the UN mission. Wrong, you'll be given another word with a similar job! Got to know about it from Rohit Barker the day before while I was listening to Cruise control! Thanks buddy! I started playin the game since yesterday n wow! I donated 4000 grains in a single day! That seems better than givin a rupee to a beggar you find on streets. Dont you think so?

Go ahead! You don't lose anything! Just give it a try!!

Another evening in Bangalore!!

Dont be embarassed by the title!

I've not gone outside Bangalore to say the above statement. It was another lonely evening i spent interestingly. Just another one like this.

Had been to 'Geleya' yesterday with Raghu, Susheema n Karadi. I'm doin Masti Venkatesh Iyengar's 'Chikaveera Rajendra'. Thought of taking a break from it while Raghu called me up today for a meet up. As usual, I was ready n started by 10 minutes.

While reached bus stand, I got a message from him askin me to start 15 minutes late. As I was outa house, I replied that I would just roam around here and there till he comes. We agreed and I got a bus to Majestic.

Thought of gettin down at Guttahalli, calling Yogesh passing time till Raghu comes to Beagules. Called to his cell to find his dad answer the call askin me to call up landline. I said I'll call up but didnt as I got another call from Hemanth. By now I was at Mekhri, and the Kaveri Signal was all the way till the Gayatri Vihar entrance. I got down right there thinkin of walkin my way to Malleshwara.

Was speaking to Hemanth for 10 minutes while i had crawled 100 steps ahead of the Corporation Bank, Sadashivanagar when we ended the call agreein for a long call late at night. I cut the call to find an anonymous asking path towards Malleshwara 18th cross. I thought i got a company till 18th cross and changed my route for him.

He had come to Sadashivanagar for personal work and was heading back to his room at Dasarahalli, Peenya. On our way we spoke about each other regarding many things. He was basically from Beluru, Hassana. I was just queryin about things there and his qualification n stuff like that. We shared many of our thoughts on the city. I didnt find my way to 18th cross end so quickly. Thats what happens when you get a company. We walked around the semi-circle of Sankey Tank from Sadashivanagar to 18th Cross. I asked him more about Hassana and its near by places. According to him, even there, you find people from outside intruding. Pathetic!



We then reached the gate towards 18th Cross and bid goodbye! No phone number, no contact. It will be good only with such short encounters which makes you feel happy!

I now headed to Beagules, I took the photo of a herd of cattles you find at the 16th cross! I just find myself dumbstruck looking at them! Dunno why??!!

Came to beagules, where I always find something new or something strange (or both!!??). to my usual senses, I found a person sitting all alone and drooling! It was about 5:15 and he was drunk by that time to the fullest!





Dunno where these people live and what they do for their living! Have lots of pics of such men and will dedicate a post for them asap! Here I'm attaching the one whom I found at beagules. Pathetic guy!! Was in his own world and was not disturbing others. That was the best part! I just climbed 4 stairs above him and started waiting for Raghu n others watching some of them play Basketball in the ground!


Was watchin the matches played as always and waited for Raghu to come meanwhile, had called Raghu, Seena to come asap for which Raghu said that he is with PG and it would take 1/2 an hour for him to come! He suggested me to call Seena or Yogesh and ask them to accompany me till he comes! Which i had already done. Seena wasn't pickin up the phone and Yogi as his behaviour would take long to come to beagules from Guttahalli! (We call him Slomotion, the late lateef).

I continued watchin boys n girls busy playin basketball! I recollected that I was really bad at outdoor games and had never been to such grounds to play anything! also, in my childhood, the most popular game we used to play was Cricket, sometimes Kabaddi, Lagori, Jootaata, Kalla Police, Lock and Key, Chood Chand n stuff like that! These days such things are dissappearing quite drastically! Desi Games should be protected! Everyone is behind Globalization! They prefer playin Basketball, bowling, n other stuff!

It was 6 and there were no signs of anybody! I called some now and then to find a busy tone! 6:15, there arrived a short figure below the steps where I was sitting! Was wearing helmet, a sweater, looked similar to Daksha! Was astonished to see him come uninvited and with no clue! He looked at me! 75% of my mind confirmed me that it was Daksha, but the rest 25% was true! It was a similar figure! Here is a pic of him taken without him noticing it!


He saw me! Think even he thought that I was waiting for him! He might have mistaken me for someone he knows. He came closer, saw me and recognized that he doesn't know me and sat 5 feet away from me. Even he was waiting for somebody (Male for sure which I found out by his conversation over phone). He waited just like me calling his friends. I was happy that there are people just like me waiting for their late lateef friends who do not time themselves).

When all this happened, the lousy guy next to me was awake and was tryin to find something from his pockets. After a long search, he found a motbeedi (small beedi), lit it and was enjoyin smoking! Even the guy who sat next to me lit a cigarette and was busy smoking! I choked teice for the smoke, called up Raghu asking about his location to which he replied, he was still in Jayanagar and it would take still 15 more minutes for him to move from there! PG had a meet up with his cousin and that was delayin things. Meanwhile, Seena had called up and said that he woke up just then and he wouldn't be able to make it that day! So I asked Raghu to take his time but I would leave as it was 6:30 and he would come late! He agreed and I walked my way back to Guttahalli looking at two of my silent unknown companions for the evening that day!

You just experience such things without doing any significant thing but you feel something strange entering your mind after such incidents! It just depicts the simplicity one can find in LIFE. How beautiful would things be when things are simple right?? Think about it!

Nothin much after that! Just walked my way back to Guttahalli bus stand, took a bus without a board to find its a KSRTC bus and BMTC passes are not allowed. Got down at Kaveri signal, walked back towards Guttahalli bus stand, found another bus and headed my way back to home!
There was a satisfaction in my heart for the simple experience I had that day!

Meera Madhava Raghava

Had been to Meera Madhava Raaghava with Janna n Seena last Sunday and here is my short review on that.

Before all, lets list out the main guys of the film

Director - T.N.Seetharam, Gauribidanur
Hero - Digant
Heroine - Ramya a.k.a Spandana
Villain - Tilak
Music & Lyrics - Hamsalekha

Supporting actors n actresses - Babu Hirannayya, Sundar Raj, Tulasi Shivamani, Sudha Belavadi, Anand, Nanjundaswamy, Harini, Vanishri, T.N.Srinivas Murthy( Brother of T.N.Seetharam) to name a few.

This movie had great expectations and doesn't satisfy them to the extent expected. Many flaws are so glaringly visible (which is not expected from the director, T.N.Seetharam). Even Hamsalekha has lost his usual touch with music in this movie.

The story goes on like this...

Meera (Ramya), daughter of Meshtru (Babu Hirannayya, named only meshtru name not disclosed even after his death) is a karnataka shastreeya sangeeta teacher who helps her family by teaching Karnataka Sangeeta to kids around her locality. The initial scene wherein she sings a song while teaching fails to create an image of sangeeta teacher for her. Lack of concentration depicted in that scene. I started losing interest since that scene.

Enter the villain, Raghava Bharadwaj (Tilak) who comes in search for a guy who had taken loan from him and who lives in the house just in front of Meera. Forgets everything listening to Meera's song. Comes to her house listening to the song. She stops looking at him with a LONG. He asks her to sing and she sings outa fear. Meanwhile the person who had taken loan comes to his house and looking at him, Raghava's chelas belt him up black n blue. Raghava will be listening to Meera's music and he asks both of them not to utter a single word if police enquires about them. So does the police come n they lie.

Raghava bids his thanks to both of them and asks Meera what shall i present you?? Her father replies by saying that if he leaves his home, that would itself be a big gift for them. He falls in love with her but she doesnt love him. Many things happen from then, he starts following her. Asks for her ring(not a gold ring, fake one), keeps it in a golden box and gifts her a golden ring and asks her to marry him in front of her family members. Her mother lies that she's engaged.

He gets upset n warns them that he'll make a mess if this turns out to be false. Just to make this true, her parents arrage for an engagement asap with a poor chap from Mysore named Madhava (Digant). This guy is pretty fair but can still learn a lot in acting. Raghava interrupts in the engagement but Madhava agrees to marry Meera.

Marriage will get over easily. She comes to Mysore (Madhava's home). She'll be offered a contract to sing for three years to a company based in Mumbai. All arrangements will be done by the company and she'll be paid Rs 40,000 per month. Everybody in the family will be dreaming of the job in her new family but she rejects it because Madhava is not ready for a detachment of 3 years.

Meanwhile, Meera's father passes away and she comes back to her house to finish off the final rituals. She'll have a happy discussion with her husband about his needs. He is interested in doing his IAS and discusses this with his wife at that stage. Fortunately, she has her dad's house and they were about to sell it. It was a house which would easily come upto 50 lakhs. She asks for her share in dad's property and her brother denies it pledging her about his problems.

But, Madhava is all set to go to delhi, he leaves his current job as lecturer and leaves for Delhi for training. The training institute would demand 6.5 lakhs, and including all the expenses it would take 10 lakhs for his completion of IAS. She says that she'll arrange for it and he leaves for Delhi! ( The same person who was uncomfortable with his wife going to Mumbai for three years). He passes the entrance test and asks about the money. She says that it is on the way.

She then goes to her friend's dad who works for a finance company seeking loan. This has a background. Madhava's dad died because of loans. So Madhava is dead against loans. He takes a promise from Meera asking her not to take loan in any condition. She was about to break that promise for his welfare. Accidentally, the owner of her friend's dad turns out to be Raghava.

She denies taking loan from him. But looking at the critical condition, she agrees and takes 10 lakhs loan. She didnt have any security to give. So, she forges her husbands' signature as well as her signature as the proof of taking loan.

Things get more interested as time passes as she hasn't paid any interest for the loan amount. Raghava forces her to sing songs in a pub and says that that would make him get his interest. She somehow manages things and Madhava is now an IAS officer.

He comes to the same district as Raghava is currently in and takes charge. At the same time, the MLA of the constituency gets murdered. Madhava looks at things happening in his constituency and decides to bring in law and order back in the city. He finds that the single anti-social element in the district is Raghava and summons a bill against him to get out of the district.

Raghava will be planning to become the next MLA of the constituency and this summons is obstructing him from becoming that! He plays all sorts of games( To enjoy that you gotta watch the movie. Things get interesting from this point). I won't dig in more about the tricks. Will he be able to become MLA?? Will Madhava continue to be prompt to the Government?? What happens to Meera??

Interested?? Go watch the movie.

Now to the flaws to name a few.

First half of the movie is simply CRAP. It would have been easily shrinked to 15-20 minutes. This would have made the movie more interesting. Some songs could have been easily avoided specially the remix song when Meera gets an opportuniy to fly to Mumbai.

One more thing is that, the family members who were frequently shown in the first half, disappear in the second. Once Madhava becomes Deputy Commissioner, he lives only with his wife and not with his mom and siblings. (Strange eh??)

Once Meera's father dies, Madhava is not moved by it neither he attends his karmakanda. Seems so unreal. In fact, he agrees to get money from his property.

Actingwise, Tilak steals the show. He is the real hero of the film. Performs really well. Has a great future if people in Gandhinagar look upon him. Has umpteen talent. Ramya is as usual. Acts childish quite frequently. Seetharam hasn't churned much outa her. Digant is charming but there are lots to improve. Anand, Sudha Belavadi et al are okay. Mandya Ramesh has done justice to his role but could have been used better.

If you ask my views, they would have shortened the first half and made a shorter movie though effective. The film loses its charm by some of the flaws i mentioned.

Hamsalekha hasn't given his best with music. Two songs are hummable. "Vasantha Vasantha" and "Bellulli Bellulli". Expectations were more on him.

All in all, worth watching once. Try avoiding first half or take it in lighter sense. Seetharam hasn't come outa Mukta as you can see from the district name he gives. It is still "Hemagiri". You can find many mukta terms in this movie.

Coming to producers, It is being financed by some NRI's in America. They had asked Seetharam to direct one film for each of them but Seetharam agreed to direct one film for all. Movie budget is 90 lakhs as they say. The script and the presentation would have been better.

Pour in your comments.

Costly Things are costly to maintain!!!!

Hey Guys! Back with a post!!

Had less of work on Friday. Left the office early(By 7:45pm), and we headed home! Just stopped at the usual panipuri shop @ Church Street. We were having ma
sala puri when a call came from the office that there is a mob @ Shivajinagar, so avoid that! Wanna know the reason?? Saddam was hanged, and all the muslims here were arranging for a meet( Dunno why!!) Accidentally someone by mistake had torn one of the banner near Shivajinagar n this raised an issue among them! They started the fight throwing stones @ public n setting two wheelers ablaze! (Who knows why???). I was interested to go via the same route but Jagga refused.

So, we took a deviation @ Anil Kumble circle @ M G Road! Went via the Circle near by Meuseum Road, Minsk Square! He said that we'll go via Raj Bhavan, but i insisted we go via Indian Express! I just wanted what were they fighting for!! Just took a right turn near the Capitol Hotel n we headed to Indian Express! There were a lot of policemen controlling the condition! I saw no fight over there but an Auto with a banner in Urdu, Kannada n English! They said Saddam is a friend of India( I dont know how!) n they protest hanging Saddam! It was also hoisting a black flag! Now what can they do for something that has happened?? It is an irreversible process! I'm not taking sides by saying what Bush did was wrong or what these people are doing is right?? What will happen if they fight?? Its totally of no use!

We didnt experience any disturbance on our way back home! I came home at around 9, had my food,spoke with some friends (Bhandary, Praveen, Yogesh n Hemanth!). Walked a bit n set myself on bed! I was ready to message!

I sent some 300 messages and was feeling sleepy! Thought i'll sleep and went to bed at around 1am!

Woke up by 9:00 in the morning! Finished my daily duties and was set to read the newspaper having my breakfast! Just browzed thru the paper! I am not reading newspaper as i was reading while i was at college! Dont have that patience to read everything (Dont want to spend more time reading a newspaper on a weekend! Cant make time during the weekdays!) tried Sudoku for 10 minutes! It said its hard and so it was! I couldnt finish more than some 15 squares! Thought i'll finish it later!

Took a bath! Was just wiling away my time! I dont know! I waste time like this! Wont spend it more fruitfully!! thought i'll read something n took a book in my hand! Dint even read 3 lines n i closed it! It has become boring to do anything these days! Gotta come outa this! (Hope so soon!) I thought of messaging! Sent some 600 messages and amma called mefor lunch! Had my lunch and i went to the local BSNL customer care office located at Sahakaranagara! We had applied for a Broadband connectin way back in November and we still havent ot the service. Went for a walk to that office with appa! Long time i had walked withhim! Was very much happy for that! We spoke of general things n i like to do that!

These people at government office are so adamant n they said that you'll get the service by March! We are laying ports and that'll take time till march! You wont get it till then! I was frustrated but what can we do?? We just set back! Came outa that office and had watermelon(Kallangadi) juice at Ganesh Fruit Juice Centre just next to this office! Came back to home! I thought i'll meet my friends and informed them! I was at majestic by 4:40 and one one turned up!Raghu, Susheema were busy! Hemu said that we'll meet up but he dint come! Yogi also dint come!

Okay! I thought i've come to majestic! Lemme take things i thought of taking since two weeks! Went to Burma Bazaar ( next to old Hajee Jana, Near Tribhuvantheatre), applied a new cover to the screen my S700i! Went to Alankar Pearl plaza! Stopped at Mysore Times and asked for a new strap for my Titan Edge!

I was totally shocked to hear the price! The same belt (same color) was priced Rs.525/- only! I couldn't blieve it! I asked once more! He said its 525! "Isit for another watch??" i asked! He laughed! "Sir! You've taken such a costly watch and now you are asking as if you dont know anything!! I was seriously shocked!!! You can take atleast 3 watches at burma bazaar or Hongkong bazaar or say National Market!! What the heck! 525 for a strap of leather???? I said doyou have any other varieties for this watch?? He showed me two three designs none cheaper than 250! I said i havent got that much money! I thought it wouldcost some 50 bucks or so and came outa that showroom!

I headed for another titan showroom near Menaka Theatre! Asked over there as to how much would a strap for Edge would cost! The personnel over there showedme the same kinda strap and said that it would cost me 360 bucks! I was once again shocked for the price but check out the difference! 525 - 360!! I thought i'll visit some more showrooms and get it done where i get it cheap! I dint take a strap for that day. Went to market! Gotta get something for home! Purchased them1 Took a bus and landed @ Byat!

It was 8! had some snacks! watched TV for some time and had my lunch! went to bed @ 10 o clock! sent some 500 messages and was asleep!

Not goin for the New year bash!

Back after a long time!

Its really good to blog after such a long time. Have many things to write in mind but am boringly busy these days with my job. My weekly routine has been fixed! During weekdays, get up @ 8, get ready fo office, start @ 9, reach office @ 10, work out things here even if you dont understand a single thing here! Do some silly thing n make my PL angry, do some rubbish work, start for home @ 9-10, have food, go to sleep!

During the weekends, i'll have many ideas to implement though i dont plan, everything gets upside down! Thats why i wont plan anything! It just flies away! meet friends, hog like anything, enjoy n thats all! Life has becom boringly static for me! No change! Meanwhile, i forward message when i get time!

I'm blogging this freely today as my task is taking time n all my collegues have gone for the new year bash! Stupidity @ its best! Thought of blogging something but no ideas are hitting my brain!

Will blog something interesting soon! Catch up with you soon! ;-)

Decided to blog this in English!

Hi All!

As you know from the title, from today, i'll blog this in english! Its for those friends who say that they can't understand kanglish better! It goes for all you guys! But i may put in some kanglish sentences in between to express my feelings in a raw fashion!

Since three months, i hardly got opportunity to blog frequently! Have got some stupid work to do @ office, n am not making time to blog! Improper blogging was also affected by blocking of blogger in India as well as my office for some days.

Now, they've removed the restriction on blogger n have restricted sites like orkut, gazzag, mp3shits, etc.,

I cudnt even access sites for lyrics coz they had links to mp3s. Huh!

Got some time n blogging! Will post something soon! may be today itself! Wait for some time.

Enaadru kali!
