It's 5:00 am in the morning. I didn't sleep for the day(night). Second day in a row. Yesterday I was there at office finalising on some documentation. Today for no reason I'm awake. It's been a long time I blogged. I was reading through some of my friends blogs, other noted blogs, trying out plug-ins, themes for firefox, Downloded new songs, movies. I came back from office today by around 12 mid

இதை படிப்பதற்கு முன்பு இங்கு சென்று பார்க்கவும். இதைப் பற்றி கடைசியில் பேசலாம். இந்தத் திரைப்படம் பற்றிதான் இப்போது எங்கும் பேச்சு. பலர் பலவாறு புகழ்கிறார்கள். பலர் பயங்கரமாக விவாதம் செய்கின்றனர். இன்னும் சிலர் கன்னா பின்னா என்று திட்டி தீர்க்கின்றனர். எல்லாம் இணையத்தில் காணக் கிடைக்கின்றது. நானும் இந்தப் படத்தைத் தேடிச் சென்று பார்த்தேன். ஆழந்த விமர்சனம் எல்லாம் இங்க எழுதப்போறதில்லை.

¨This is not a story of incredible heroism, or merely the narrative of a cynic; at least I do not mean it to be.¨Those are the initial lines of the famous book ¨The Motorcycle Diaries¨ by Ernesto ¨Che¨ Guevara. I had this book as my companion for the journey ¨A day in the world through the lens¨ project by the group malayalikkoottam from flickr.com.My day started little late when the sun was

To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again. --Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), U.S. essayist, poet, philosopher.Years come and go, but the important moments last for a life time. Here I'm trying to list down the

Sometimes there comes a confusion by the way things happen in our day to day life. This is not about the debate of God but today something happened which made me to think this over again.After ditching the trek which I had planned just because of my tiredness from my yesterday's trek I decided to watch the PIXAR animated movie "Ratatouille" after donating some hairs to the nearby Saloon. The

Here I'm standing in the "Allapuzha Boat Terminus" to catch my 2.30 pm boat which is expected at any moment to take us to the "Kottayam Boat Terminus". The vehicle came at the right time & all the passengers have taken their seat in the not so comfortable chairs (sorry benches). For those who couldn't able to find a seat took the near by pole not to dance but to hold & started to chat with

After escaping from office I directed myself to Gateway of India hoping to meet my friend from where we have to catch one of the special ferries which will take us to stage of Elephanta festival. The performers for the first day were Alarmel Valli renowned Bharata Nattyam dancer & the well known Pandit Hariprasad Churasia & co-artists.

A clean, fantastic movie to enjoy. From the intial title to the end its a feast for all 5 senses. One more feather in Prakashraj's hat as a producer for simple, realistic movies. After "Kanda Naal Mutal"(another Prakashraj production) & "Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu" this is the best Tamil movie I have seen in the recent times. Jyothika has yet again proved her mettle in a very matured character which is

The historical Mumbai has left us with many architectural monuments. The fort area of Mumbai is a place where we can date buildings to various colonial periods. As a part of the Kala ghoda festival, Carriage Ride - a heritage walk from Horniman Circle (Once Elphinstone Circle) to the Ballard Bunder gateway was organized by The Bombay Heritage Walks group on 11th Feb 2007.We had two orators,

Nrityotsava - 2007 Dance festival as a part of the Mumbai festival happened at Amphitheater, Bandra Fort.The performers showcased that it's not only the mouth which converse but the eyes and the dance movements of the body that speaks global language. Excellent performances. I missed the performances of the previous 2 days & the Chaau Dance festival the next two days. But I'm happy that I could

14th Jan 2007 - Mumbai festival inaugurated at Gateway of India. They should have spoken little & increased the timings of performance. Odissi dance performance for famous (?) bollywood songs was good. The "Urban Raga" fusion music was nice to listen. But unfortunately only 2 songs from them. At least they should have played a little longer than the time spent for instruments arrangements.

Sangam - Conglomeration of Heritage with Art It is the perfect place. Exceptional artists. sensational setting. Breezy evening.All this came together on the 6th day of this 2007 year @ Banganga tank in Walkeshwar, Mumbai.
