Just another post

The habit of getting up late, seems too difficult to avoid. I could get up only at 9. Had a plan to study but it always remains to be a plan. spent a lot of time in the TV room since the election results were being announced. UPA has done so well in the national level and there is no doubt that they will be able to form the government. Shashi Tharoor has won here in Tvm and it is almost sure that he will make it into the ministry. I consider him as a leader who has hardly any awareness about the common man's problems.

I had taken some photostat and sat with it on the table but read only three pages till noon. In the afternoon, things got worse, didn't even think of studying.

I just sat on my chair and thought about random topics. One of them was our class tour. A hell lot of funny things happened during the tour. A lot of drama and tragedy as well. There is plenty to put in writing. My first prefernce would be for the funny incidents that happened, my close friend and classmate Jijo being the hero in most of them. He was in full swing during the tour.

KKR is having a match today. Got to watch it. Against Deccan chargers. Hope they will win atleast one or two other than the D/L win against Kings XI.

A lot happening, Life is moving..

I have not been blogging for a long time.. Though I really want to. A lot is happening in my life. Pretty unusual things. I, somehow managed to secure a campus placement, though in a small company. Went for the class tour for the first time in the four years, and it was a pretty good experience indeed even though the rude behavior from two of my pretty close friends did hurt me a lot.

IPL is going on and my team, KKR, is losing consistently. I wonder how they manage that. they are the most poorly managed and captained side in the IPL. Most of the KKR fans have shifted to other teams but I will stay.

fake IPL player is making a lot of news these days. I went through the whole blog. It really rocks!! I really appreciate the guy writing it for his humor sense and writing style.

I hope that I will write more in the coming days. There are a hell lot of things to write about as well..

When I feel like writing a poem..

While going through the lyrics of certain songs, I wonder how people manage to write such beautiful lines. At certain times, I get inspired up to an extent that I try writing some lines on my own. But as soon as I finish, I would have come to know that it's nothing but trash. This one comes under the same category, though I posted it here. The only difference is that, now I'm having a blog where I can post anything without hesitation. Actually I wrote this a few days back, and I've almost forgotten what crap was in my mind when I wrote this. So it will be unfair to give a title now.

being honest, I would be extremely happy if anyone atleast calls this a poem !!


I looked around, with some pain
deep in my heart, reminding me
of the things that happened, and
of the things which were yet to come

Sometimes, I can't breathe
I struggle, gasping all the time
Sometimes, I can't see
It's darkness all around

I feel like screaming loudly
And letting the thoughts out
But it all can change in a flash
And I just don't know how it does.

One moment, I see the impending disaster
And in the next, I wonder
How I managed to get here
On top of the cliff of hope

On the brink, always I would say
Putting me in chaos all the time
But that's what my life is at the moment,
And I don't have any regrets for it

about movies,prison break and laziness

Just completed watching the hindi movie "Stone man murders". Movie was based on the serial killings that took place in Mumbai in 1983. Pretty good movie, I think. Whenever there is a bit of reality involved in a movie, it makes the movie highly interesting. I have always loved true stories. But unfortunately Indian, especially south Indian movies rarely discuss anything related to truth. Instead, they show the hero defeating one hundred armed men with bare hand, heroine dancing wearing the minimum amount of cloth possible etc. Malayalam movies used to have much more believable sort of stories but these days, things have grown worse.

The number of movies that I am watching has gone enormously down. And the reason is nothing but prison break, the series. I used to recommend movies insted of series. According to me, these TV series were mere waste of time. (As if movies aren't... hehe) But all that changed as soon as I started watching Prison break. Season one is damn good, much better than any other thriller movie I have ever seen. It always keeps us intrigued. Now am into season two, which also looks good.

Watching Prison break was my most prominent activity for the last one week. I didn't even read the news paper properly. Didn't attend most of the classes also. (Am always looking for a reason to cut classes). I think this PB has made me very lazy. Not that I haven't been lazy before. But nowadays it's hitting a high that's all. Everyday I watch PB till 1 in the night and the next day, I wake up around 9. Now I have decided to watch only 2 episodes per day so that I wil have time for other activities also.

Cheers!! Slumdog team..

Today morning, I woke up at around 8.30. But as soon as I realised that I was that much late, I jumped out of the bed and ran towards the tv room. I didn't want to miss a single minute of the 81st academy awards. I had already missed a few moments. Tv room was crowded as it was a Manu-Chelsea encounter or a 20-20 match. Everyone clapped and rejoiced each and every time slumdog got an award. It was a total of eight. Well, deserved, according to me. The awards procured by Mr.Rasool and Mr.A.R.Rahman certainly turned out to be great for India. The awards didn't really surprise me other than the best actor. I expected it to be Brad Pitt. But I was glad to see Anthony Hopkins there, he is one of my favourites. It was him who introduced Brad.

Now, this what I want to say about slumdog. There has been plenty of arguments and debates going on regarding the movie "slumdog millionaire" in the recent few days and it's success in the Oscar arena has brought glory to India as well.. The movie's success was celebrated extensively in India while a few were keen to criticize it severely. The truth is that it really not is an Indian movie. It is a British movie in which a few Indians were involved and which describes the story in the background of slums in India. But it's our habit to treat everything which succeeds and has a little bit of involvement from us just like our own. Eventhough the good work of the Indians involved is to be appreciated, let us not forget that there has been better movies and better music in our regional languages.

Regarding the content of the movie, I strongly feel there is nothing wrong in showing the truth. Truth, however bitter it is, is to be accepted. The things which were shown in the movie do happen in our country, even worse than that. Eighty percent of the wealth in our country is in the hands of 1.8 % of the population. So let us not raise our voices against those who brought it into spotlight. Instead, let us do something to change the scenario.
