Saw the movie (again)... a movie that I have always liked...hmmm... I wonder why...
Julia Roberts looks as ravishing as ever... and who can miss that smile of hers... can only think of one person that kinda emulates her...
Its funny the way things are... sometimes I wonder to whom is it that I relate more with... but well at the end of the day... (or the movie per se) it was but a reminder of sorts... :)

My Best Friends Wedding....

To My Friends....
This is for my friends who are going through a rough patch right now and unfortunately I am not there with them to help sort out things... this is for all friends here, there and everywhere... for all those who understand what friendship is...
Hang on guys... "one for all and all for one"
Another all time favourite.... Guna
This is another all time favourite of mine... The song "Kanmani Anbodu" from the movie "Guna"
They say that music knows no language... and I agree... music is beyond any language...
however in this one... the language... the lyrics is music to the ears in its own... one while listening to music enjoys it even though the meaning might not be clear... but when one understands what the song means.. whats being conveyed... when the two are coupled together... its a whole new dimension... one begins to understand the devotion... the essence of the song... the music...
As Always I present the lyrics as well for those who are interested... and send me a comment or something if you are interested in knowing the meaning or essence of the song... atleast I will try to explain my interpretation of it from however much I know the language....
kanmani anboadu kaadhalan naan ezhudhum kadidhamae
ponmani un veettil soukyamaa naan ingu soukyamae
unnai ennip paarkkaiyil kavidhai sottudhu
adhai ezhudha ninaikkaiyil varththai muttudhu
(kanmani)
undaana kaayam yaavum thannaalae aarip poagum
maayam enna ponmaanae ponmaanae
enna kaayam aana poadhum en maeni thaangik kollum
undhan maeni thaangaadhu sendhaenae
endhan kaadhal ennavenru sollaamal aenga aenga azhugai vandhadhu
endhan soagam unnaith thaakkum enrennumboadhu vandha azhugai ninradhu
manidhar unarndhu kolla idhu manidhak kaadhalalla
adhaiyum thaandip punidhamaanadhu

sivagaamiyae sivanil neeyum paadhiyae adhuvum unakku puriyumaa
suba laali laali laali laali
abiraami laali laali laali
The music is composed by Maestro Illayaraja sung by the versatile KamalHaasan and S. Janaki

This is an all time favourite of mine.... beautiful lyrics... really beautiful... loved it when I was and well even now... a very beautiful song..... really glad to have found it now... am searching for the hindi version for a a good friend... enjoy it in Tamil (original version) for now...
And the lyrics for those who are interested.... :)
En kadhale En kadhale,
Ennai enna seyyap pohiraai?
Naan ooviyan endru therindum nee,
Yen? Kannirandai ketkiraai?
Siluvaigal Sirahuhal,
Rendin enna tharap pohiraai?
Killuvathaikk killivittu,
Yen? thalli nindru paarkiraai?
Kadhale nee poo erindhaal
Endha malayum konjam kulayum,
Kadhale nee kal erindhaal
Endha kadalum konjam kalangum
Ini meelvadhaa illai veelvadhaa?
Uyir waalwadhaa illai powadhaa?
Amuthenpathaa wisham enbadhaa?
Illai amudha-wishamenbadhaa?
Kadhale un kaaladiyil
Naan wilundhu wilundhu tholudhen
Kangalai nee moodikkondaai
Naan kulungi kulungi aludhen
Idhu maatram�a thadumaatram�aa?
En nejile,pani moottama�a?
Nee tholiyaa? Illai edhiriyaa?
Endru thinamum poraattam�aaa?
En kadhale En kadhale,
Ennai enna seyyap pohiraai?
Naan ooviyan endru therindum nee,
En Kannirandai ketkiraai?
The music director is A.R.Rahman, the movie is "Duet"... don't know the name of the hindi version... maybe its the same... and the song in Tamil is sung by SPB

...Saawan Beeto Jaye Peharwa....
A Beautiful song.... touching.... nothing much to write home about... its pure music at its best... beautiful lyrics...
Here are the lyrics to the song:
Saawan Beeto Jaye Peharwa
Mann Mera Ghabraye
Aeso Gaye Pardes Piya Tum
Cheyn Humein Nahin Aye
Mora Saiyaan Moh Sey Bolay Na
Mein Laakh Jatan Kar Haari
Tu Jo Nahin to Aisay Piya hum
Jaisay Soona Aanganaa
Nain Tehaari Raah Neeharey
Nainnan Ko Tarsao Na
Pyar Tumhain Kitna Kartay Hain
Tum Yeh Samajh Nahin Pao gay
Jab Hum Na Hongay to Peharwa
Bolo Kya Tab Aao gay
Mora Saiyaan moh Sey Bolay Na
Laakh Jatan Kar Haar Rahi

Road Trip....
Now this is what I would call a road trip... an amazing ride (no pun intended ;-) ) through the high seas, the winding roads, the setting sun, the rising winds... aaah what I wouldnt do to be there... of course the bike just motivates me that much more... :)
One Day... maybe not now... but one day...

No Longer Klueless....
It certainly is a satisfying moment when after racking your brains, one successfully completes the mind numbing experience of the n number of screens just to see at the end...
Klueless, One of the competitions thats part of The management festival of IIM Indore, IRIS.
I had completed the first edition of Klueless last year... had come to know of it really late... (Klueless2 had already been completed by people then...atleast thts wat I came to understand ) or rather it caught my interest kinda later on.... but was hooked on to it the moment I realized what it was... it was an enjoyable experience...
Went on to start Klueless2, got my boss hooked on to it as well... but then work got to me... (and to be honest I was also stumped with a particular level) which only helped in not continuing it further....
Picked it up again yesterday... and its been amazing.... have completed the first edition all over again and also finished the second edition.... pretty good feeling
Am now eagerly looking forward to being klueless all over again... their festival is about to start... and this time I hope to start well in time so that I can aim at the moolah that they would be offering... not that I might stand any chance of getting it... but hey... wats life without a few dreams... some shatter.... but hopefully some will come true as well :-)
Won't you agree that 'Klueless' is a cacograph? (Type
it on MS Word to find out if you don't believe me). So now you have found
who that cacographer is!
Team KLUELESS2 of course!
And who cracked all these clues till now?. Now we know
who the real Holmes is
YOU of course!
Congratulations Holmes! You have found the solution to the case again.
Just send us your details, we are more than eager to
receive your comments. Please send us an email with a message containing "caprio waters rubik".
Congratulations to all the people who have cracked it to this level. And remember you are among 0.1% of the people who cracked Klueless2.

Forrest.... Forrest Gump
The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.
St. Peter said, “Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven.”
Forrest responds, “It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain’t too hard. Life was a big enough test as it was.”
St. Peter continued, “Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions.
First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second: How many seconds are there in a year?
Third: What is God’s first name?”
Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and
sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, “Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers”
Forrest replied, “Well, the first one — which two days in the week begins
with the letter “T”? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow.”
The Saint’s eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, “Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?” asked St. Peter.
“How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder,” replied Forrest,but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve.”
Astounded, St. Peter said, “Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven’s name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?”
Forrest replied, “Shucks, there’s got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd… “
“Hold it,” interrupts St. Peter. “I see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in mind….but I will have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God’s first name”?
“Sure,” Forrest replied, “it’s Andy.”
“Andy?” exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.
“Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?”
“Shucks, that was the easiest one of all,” Forrest replied. “I learnt it from the song,
“ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN.”
St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: “Run Forrest, run.”
Give me a sense of humor, Lord.
Give me the ability to understand a clean joke,
To get some humor out of life,
And to pass it on to other folks.
St. Peter said, “Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven.”

A Poem....
This was something that was read out to me by a good friend... Subranil Majumdar whom we fondly call...Subro dada; at the insistence of another good friend Andrea a few months back... so if you can... you too should get it read out to you by a bengali friend with the whole accent added to it... trust me... it sounds a lot funnier than wat it seems when you try to read it... even if u fake the accent ;)
I am lucky enough to run into it again... go ahead and enjoy
Supposedly by a Bengali School Teacher… (So you know why i insist on having it read out...)
Through the jongole I am went
On shooting Tiger I am bent
Boshtaard Tiger has eaten wife
No doubt I will avenge poor darling’s life
Too much quiet, snakes and leeches
But I not fear these sons of beeches
Hearing loud noise I am jumping with start
But noise is coming from damn fool’s heart
Taking care not to be fright
I am clutching rifle tight with eye to sight
Should Tiger come I will shoot and fall him down
Then like hero return to native town
Then through trees I am espying one cave
I am telling self - “Bannerjee be brave”
I am now proceeding with too much care
From far I smell this Tiger’s lair
My leg shaking, sweat coming, I start pray
I think I will shoot Tiger some other day
Turning round I am going to flee
But Tiger giving bloody roar spotting Bengalee
He bounding from cave like footballer Pele
I run shouting “Kali Ma tumi kothay gele “
Through the jongole I am running
With Tiger on my tail closer looming
I am a telling that never in life
I will take risk again for my damn fool wife !!!!!

Animator Vs. Animation
Director: Alan Becker | United States
A simple stick figure created in Flash gets sick and tired of being tortured, so he fights back. Check out this John Woo-style fight scene that takes place entirely within a Flash program (which gets trashed in brilliant fashion).
And be sure to watch Animator vs. Animation 2, the Webby-winning sequel!

Aye Mere Pyare Watan.....
Somthing that i found on the internet, rather the link was mailed to me....
evoked emotions that i realise is always there inside us indians... probably all countrymen... love towards their motherland... we just show it rarely... not a good thing...
It should be something that we carry around on our sleeves.... bring it to the front at the drop of a hat whenever and wherever required without shying away...
Also loved the small kids singing it... although they were being egged by over zealous family members (probably...!!) but well still was kinda cute... :o)
