I feel the magic of Raja Ravi Varmas paintings are lost in the cheap glare of paintings that go by the name of "modern art". Whats Happening??!!

Things that make us go..........
Sometimes I suffer from the "foot-in-mouth" disease.....I say right thing to the wrong person or the wrong thing to the right person.....and shove my foot right in my mouth.
Samurai Jack is Back !!
Its a wonderful cartoon series.......unfortunately not been watching it due to time constraints.
Something I read
"Life threw a googly at him at the age of four.......but he still managed to hit a sixer"
- about an artist who was crippled when he was four years old.

Raincoat ??
Well what can I say....my first movie at the PVR in Bangalore and it had to be raincoat.
All I can say about the movie is that, all the acting that Ash and Ajay did in 2 hrs of the movie was eclipsed by a 10 minute appearance by actor Anu Kapoor...The whole thing is based on O'Henry story "The Gift of Magi"...The stuff would have made a fantastic half an hour serial but the 2 hour torture is tooooo much to handle...even in a PVR. Just puts you off to sleep.However there are a few thought provoking scenes that have been well made....the whole affair is a movie version of a sleepy rainy afternoon that leaves one feeling lethargic.Shubha Mugdals Background voice is magical.....Otherwise Sad.
A n interesting TV series !!
The masked magician revealed the secrets behind some of the worlds most popular illusions in a TV series on Star World !! The whole thing was quite controversial....but then thats whats interesting about the whole thing.
SWADES
One movie that has left a lasting impression on me is Swades......The movie is like a fresh breath of air to Indian cinema.
The movie is a welcome change from girls doing item numbers in bikinis, good to see a clean movie that knows where it is headed. Sharukh is as usual brilliant, the cinematographyand direction is commendable. The music is a work of sheer brilliance...cant stop listening to the songs !! and new actress Gayathri has done a good job.
Its unfortunate that people today are so blinded by the jazz of "Jink Chak" movies that are made, that they do not recognise brilliant cinema. Hence the bad reviews from critics.

Ayn Rand Again !!
“It does not matter that only a few in each generation will grasp and achieve the full reality of man's proper stature-and the rest will betray it. It is those few that move the world and give life its meaning-and it is those few that I have always sought to address. The rest are no concern of mine; it is not me or The Fountainhead that they will betray: it is their own souls.”

Indian Version of Hotel California - Sing along with the actual song !!
HOTEL KALASIPALYA
On a dark city one-way
'Nariyal Tel' in my hair
The smell of 'Batata Vada'
was rising up through the air
up ahead in the distance
I saw a green tube lite
My tongue grew heavy and my stomach grew thin
I had to stop for a bite
There he stood in the door way
repairing the calling bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be hell ..... Oh ! It is hell
Then he lit up a petromax
and cursed the electricity board away
There were some sardars down the corridor
Thought I heard them say
Welcome to hotel kalasipalya
souch a lousy place
many a bug at the hotel kalasipalya
whats the spiral burning device
oh! Its just Tortoise
The finger in his nose definitely twisted
as three sneezes it sends
He makes a lot of weird noise
when the finger bends
About the 'kusthi' in the courtyard
Sticky 'Sardar' sweat
The man pleaded for mercy
while theire wives whipped them with a belt
I called upon the deaf captain
please tell me the time
He promptly ran into the kitchen
and brought me 'vangi bhat', soda and lime
And still those voices were crying, far away
wake you up in the middle of the night
just to hear them pray
Save us from hotel kalasipalya
Thas a mice ... No surprise
if the rodents at a dogs size
The blind man was feeling
yesterdays sambhar on rice
we are all pensioners here
said an old man in silk smitha disguise
and in the dining chamber
we gathered for the feast
we stab it with our steely knives
but just can't cut the meat
The last thing I remember
I was lying on the floor
The half eaten tapeworm in my snack
made my tummy sore
relax said the moustached watchman
mouth to mouth respiration you shall receive
they made me lie on my back
while my soul packed up to leave ......

Riddick !!
Vin Diesel was supposed to be better than 007 in XXX,The result was pathetic......vin did not have enough diesel to fuel fast and furious either......But Riddick seems to have redeemed himself in Pitch black II.....Well. Its a good movie.....totally out of the world graphics (pun intended)and a solid performance by Vin to back it all up.

The Team
Though India lost their Asia cup match V/S Lanka....The spirit was great
India finally seems to have become a fightin unit in the true sense of the word.
For how long this spirit will last is anybody's guess, Especially with hanger ons like Parthiv Patel........

THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ??
Americans on average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.
Dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are
registered blood donors.
"Go." is the shortest complete sentence in the English
language.
If Barbie were life-size, her measurements would be 39-23-33.
She would stand seven feet, two inches tall.
If the population of China walked past you in single file, the
line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you will have produced
enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
No word in the English language rhymes with "month".
Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears
never stop growing.
"Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left
hand.
The ant always falls over on its right side when intoxicated!!
The cruise liner, Queen Elizabeth 2, moves only six inches for each
gallon of diesel that it burns.
