Unnale Unnale

Damn ! It's boring when I am sitting in the college net lab waiting for my turn to present my project in a review which no one cares about. Moreover the internet here really sucks too.

I know I have mentioned this movie in so many places previously, but now I realize that everytime I watch that movie, I find a different meaning to it all together. Each character was defined perfectly and portrayed effectively by all the actors. Each character has a well-thought out back story and there are no loop holes one could find.

The RR baffles me. The entire movie consists of RR composed using just the three chords, C Minor, Bb Major and G# Major. Chinmayi has done an awesome job as voice for Tanishka. Her voice literally is the one bringing the character alive.

Yes, guys and girls do contradict a lot. The Ying Yang symbol in the movie title shows clearly, the fact that both, though both the male and female contradict each other, they both land up intertwined. A fact that is common in any successful relationship.

Sada in that movie, portrayes this arrogant girl character. A relationship with that kind of a girl is a nightmare. She says she loves you, but you won't be able to find love anywhere. The start of such relationships will be fantastic, but as times moves on, she starts to dominate you. No matter what she says, she doesn't trust you, and she will make you feel that you are always inappropriate and insignificant. It's not just Sada, so is the the other girl, Paloma, Raju Sundaram's girlfriend. She will want to have total control over you and then you will change your character to adapt to hers. You will do everything she asks of you and yet she won't be willing to compromise one single thing for you. You will come to a situation where you will find that you can't remember any reason why you both are together. She will not let you be happy when you are with her and she will emotionally torture you even after you break up with her. She will just want to hurt you and make your life hell for being with her. Why the hell does she get jealous if Vinay is going out with Tanishka ? She broke up with him right ?

This is where things get interesting. Tanishka proposes and still Vinay, the gentleman sleeps in the car downstairs. Sada, the one who doesn't trust anyone comes and checks. Such a cheap act. And stil Vinay goes and talks to her as a man. Says how much she hurt him. Atleast then she should have apologized shouldn't she ? She knows her fault by then and still it's her ego and her arrogance that prevents her from doing that. Now whatever she is going to say Vinay is not going to take her back is he ? How will he do that, knowing the kind of evil Sada is and the fact that if he accepts her again there is all possibilities that he might have to endure all of that again.

Tanishka is the awesome character here. She knows about Vinay and Sada, She is in love with Vinay and yet she doesn't get in their way and break them up deliberately. She does nothing between them and she comes out clean as a whistle. She then approaches Vinay the right way and proposes that would make any guy want to accept her. I mean, who doesn't want her ? She is funny, warm natured, lovable, caring and she trusts. She doesn't want Vinay to change his character for her. She is not arrogant and makes you feel that love. She is way too sweet with Vinay knowing that she is already in love with Sada, she doesn't take it outo n any of them as well.

The movie gives me all the emotions, everytime I watch it. Well thought out, perfectly analyzed movie. Every character is welll thought out and there is a lot of backstory bringing the character's alive. The songs are awesome too. Must watch, and one among my personal favorites.

This has been my wallpaper for the past month. Ever since M.J. said he is going to perform on stage again on his comeback tour, to start at london in july. The tour in which he promised he will do everything the fans wanted. It's a real pity that with 50 sold out concerts in pipeline , that the gods be so cruel as to take him now.

I am a fan of the king of pop ever since i was in kinder garten . I dance like him , I dress like him , there were times in which every thing that i did will have something resembling him . Every show that I did used to be successful because every show I did then will have something to do with M.J. For some one like me , he is an inspiration , a real motivation , like the north star always guiding us along . With no teacher to learn but the will to dance , there are so many of us who proudly call ourselves MJ impersonators , and performed in a style which we ourselves christined as MJ impersonation . Everytime we go on stage wearing the MJ costumes on , we would feel alive , alive like we have never felt before , even when we are sick or tired , we would get energy from somewhere when we put on the glove and the hat .

There has never been a time when i haven't recieved laudation when i am on stage and doing the moonwalk or the breaks . Such were the popularity of his moves that everyone feels proud if they are able to do them .

The day he passed away is clearly the day the arts of music and dance died. We can never see the moonwalk on stage again . We can never see Billie jean being performed live. The world is left with a void that no one else can ever replace . He has done so many things in the industry that whatever anyone else tries , it will just be an attempt to recreate what MJ has already done before . A real balck day for the planet . Today as he passes away , we MJ impersonators feel like a part of us died with him , yet a part of him will remain with us forever .

With 13 grammy's , 8 on one award ceremony , 750 million copies of his music sold , holding records in the guiness book of world records still , being the first ever black performer to hit the MTV screens , being the most popular man in the world's history , being the perfect ambassador of charity , he is a loss to the human race , a God when he lived , a legend as he passes away ,we are the legacy he left behind. His name will resonate in the history books for ever and ever to come . May his soul rest in peace .

Wake up call in any case

It has been a month and some days since I last made a post , so here goes . I couldn't post these days because I was caught up with my exams . Of course there were a couple of really easy ones , but I am really worried about my digital signal processing exam . I had a severe headache and I didn't do it any justice whatsoever .

So moving out of my abysmal performance in the examinations , I am thinking about certain things that happened at the start of my holidays . I am still bewildered how a small bunch of terrorists got the better of the puissant Indian security and intelligence systems . All credit to the N.S.G. for the awesome job they did . Just wondering , how with all these measures in place could the dastard bevy do what they did ?

And these vile insolent power greedy politicians, ridiculing the ones in power . The day when Nehru said "I may be late to the assembly today , because the traffic is heavy" , he didn't have those commandos with him for his protection . And u see all these so called 'leaders' have all the protection they need which leaves a void in the security when needed . I got an sms forward that cleanly stated what privileges a member of parliament enjoys . Counting by the fact , 37.45% of the total tax money collected is spent on the M.P's alone . Imagine the other levels in the hierarchy . Who says India is a financially poor country ? The money is not helping develop the economy . Just imagine the use to which the money can be put to .

I can't light a candle and obliviate all those images I saw in television . My father just left Mumbai some time prior to those attacks . I am angry . I see only resentment and pain , not any victory . There is no reason to celebrate over the success , no reason to plant the tricolor outside the Taj . Just ten insane maniacs had the potential to consternate an empire of over a billion for 60 hours . Shouldn't we fight back ? If the government can't save us , let the army rule . I am fed up with the subtle speeches of the politicians , they fail to soothe my anger . And yet there are the others who see this as an opportunity to gain power . What are they going to do when they get power ? Give the same speeches . Despicable! Look at the country frankly now . It is unsafe , corruption breeding everywhere . Indians need leaders , who are matured enough to think that with power comes responsibility not just money .

For all that happened the champions league has been canceled . At least the english ( just noticing , the word "english" is not in the chrome auto correct dictionary ! ) cricketers are not poltroons . They are ready to return for a test series . And all this has to happen when the cricket in India is at a really good spirit . Man ! what an awesome show ! Defeating the champion Australians at Australia and at home back-to-back , now that is preponderance. I just wish that the champions league , the commonwealth games and the world cup are not relocated . It would be awesome if it were not relocated .

Hopefully it won't rain during the english play here at Chepauk . Chennai , the most knowledgeable crowd in the world , where cricket is a religion followed in almost all the doors , the recent past have always been wet . The dry city on almost all the other days would be devoid of rain . Luck has run out of the city that celebrates the most number of cricket academies in the world . Apart from a pass in my D.S.P. the other thing that I am praying god is that at least this time the situation won't be overcast .

Before i sign off for this blog , a silent prayer to all those who laid their lives in the tragedy . Praying god that such a thing will never show its ugly face again , any where in the world .
