Give Me A Cracker !!


Today being Diwali I was awake little early.. It was 4 am and I was pretty busy listening to Karnatic music(which I never do :) ).. After I took a bath I switched on T.V and was highly irritated to see cine actors and actress giving out interviews.. I always used to get annoyed by my dad's comments when he used question the very reason of these interviews and he always used to ask me what have these people achieved that they have started giving out interviews.. I was too young to understand wat my dad said all these years and I used to rubbish his comments alwayz.. But this time I realised the truth in his words and the morality in his questioning.. I was highly irritated to see every t.v channel showing a actress or a actor..

So I decided to burst crackers and my little bro accompanied me.. It was fun all the while until I met a little boy with a small plastic cover on his hand.. He came near me and said " Anna orru patasu" (Give me a cracker).. Well I gave him a packet and he went off.. Then as usual I and my bro started bursting cracker.. Then I started realising something which made me stop bursting crackers.. It made me think lotz and consequently write lotz :) .. Why do we celebrate diwali? Well its to mark the occasion of Ram's return to Ayodya and also to celebrate krishnan's act of demolishing the devil.. This was some 20000 years ago I guess and do we really need to celebrate something which happened that long ago.. Hmm probably No.. I am not an atheist or anti-hindu but in the current schema of things I guess Diwali celebration should be postponed.. If you ask me why here are my answers to your questions...

India is our Ayodya and do you think RAM will ever like to come back to India? For sure he wouldnt.. He would not like to see people killing each other in the name of religion and in the name of God.. He would not like to see people dying for a piece of land.. He would not like to see Ravana's and Surpanaka's all around him and he for sure would not like wat our country is right now.. Krishna would realise he has lot of devils to be destroyed and few of the devils are illiteracy and poverty.. Krishna would also understand for lot of people their minds are devils and to destroy them is a tough task.. Even rama and krishan would have said "OMG" if they ever come to India..

Gandhiji said India will get its independence only when woman can walk freely in midnight.. Well I would like to add a similar note.. We should really celebrate diwali when every Indian would kill the devil in himself and comes back as a human.. The devil we have for a piece of land in north kashmir should be destroyed.. We have killed them and they have killed us and its time for peace.. The devil we have on backward people should be destroyed.. We should understand that every one is same and we must love each other.. The devil we have on kannadikans and vice versa should be destroyed... The devil we have to fight on name of God should be destroyed..Each and every devil in us should be destroyed and then we should celebrate diwali...

Pursuit of HappYness


I am 24 now and have seen lotz of movies right from our action packed movies of our Captain to punch dialogue filled movies of Vijay.. But none of them had made a big impact on me than a Hollywood movie named "Pursuit of Happiness".. Most of ma frndz are Hollywood biased and I have honestly never given importance becos I was always under the impression Indian Movies are far better.. I hated movies like Superman, Spiderman showing super natural things( Some thing which I never believed in ) .. So I always used to watch movies  close to my culture and my people.. 

But I happened to meet one of my school frndz and he was watching  "Pursuit of Happiness" .. I just saw one of the scenes in it and it was the climax of the movie.. I was highly impressed and I asked him the story line.. He just gave me a jist.. I some how wanted to watch the movie and never really got time for the same.. I went to Spencer's bought an original dvd of the same film..

So it was saturday night and after a week long's work I started to see the movie.. :) And all I could say was that Will Smith's acting was so great and i couldnt stop myself from crying :( .. The story is all about a man who does not have a job and is trying hard to settle.. His wife leaves him off and the way overcomes and becomes big is wat the movie shows..Firstly I was truly impressed by Will Smith's acting skills.. Gosh!! He was so damn good actor and his expressions simply refuse to go off my mind.. Compared to Vijay who does the same thing again and again and again, Will Smith stands much more taller.. I would dare to compare Will Smith with Kamal.. Both of them great actors..

Well the movie reminded me of my past.. I was jobless for 10 long months after finishing my degree and I saw the pain of my eyes in his acting.. I have virtually cried everyday when I was jobless and to see him cry during tough times reminded my old days.. But the best part of the movie is not to see him cry rather to see him fight hard at his life.. He starts his career as a salesman and never manages to sell anything.. Then he shifts his job and tries to be a stock broker.. Under training he was never paid and under training sessions he becomes the most under rated.. Just then he happens to lose his car,house and his wife.. The worst part is he stays in bathroom the whole night as he had no place to live in :( .. Yet he somehow becomes the best student of his training session and gets the job..

All said and done the best dialogue of the movie which changed ma life 

" dream things and always learn to protect them.. everyone would try to shatter ur dream just because they cant do the same.. Work hard to achieve ur dream and listen to no one.. Dream things and always protect them"

Really true.. the movie simply reflects how we should go about our life and want every one reading this blog to see the movie.. Ur life would change as mine :)

My Instinct

There is something called Instinct. I realised its existence yesterday after I met with an accident.  Well I was late to ma frnd's treat and I was supposed to be in Nugambakkam by 2.  It was already 1.15 and I just started from my house.  Just when  I started my bike key struck the door and i just felt some uneasiness running around me.. I call ma bike as "popeye" and popeye too didnt look too good today.. After ma bath I usually pray and this time I didnt because I was already late and this too worried me a bit..

So when I started riding my bike these uneasiness just disappeared and I was thinking about ma frdz,ma office etc etc.. Then there are actually two roads which leads to nugambakkam..I can go either via Velachery or Via Chrompet.. Instinct of mine never wanted me to go through Velachery and my popeye too felt the same.. So I just turned towards chrompet and some stupid feeling of mine asked me to take a U turn and I did the same... Then I moved towards Velachery.. I saw a small boy asking for a lift.. I usually give lifts my instinct asked me not to give one.. Yet I gave and some 30 seconds were wasted in the process..

So as usual I started proceeding towards Velachery and it was awesome weather considering the fact that it had just rained.. So I had to slow down biking and I was in 30's or 40's speed range.. I crossed Velachery and I was riding on a road adjacent to Madras Race Club.. Since it had rained I was looking into water and driving to make sure my dress doesnt get spoiled.. Then all of a sudden I saw a man standing near a temple..

His face was very unique and I have never in my life seen such a face cut.. It was a lot akward.. So I was actually looking at him not realising that I had to look at the road.. All of a sudden I found a Scotty in opposite side of mine trying to over take a car..With in the fraction of milli seconds I realised the same, the scotty hit me and I didnt know wat happened after that.. All I knew after 10 seconds is that I and popeye were down.. The leg break had actually broken and the front light too.. But alas nothing really happened to me apart from few bruisers. 

For the next two minutes I was completely out of this world.. I had people sorrunding me and asking me to go the hospital but I didnt know wat was happening.. Then I saw tat man again.. He took the broken leg break and gave it to me.. Well everybody was suprised to see me not hurt but ma poor popeye was badly hurt.. 

Well then I realised two things in each one of our lives which decide what happens in us

  1. Good Instinct
  2. Bad Instinct
To find out which instinct which we should follow is driven out by another instinct called "DESTINY"

So guyz alwayz believe in your instinct but always remember that it could turn out to be gud one or bad one.. But our destiny Can never be changed :)
