Helpless!!

I'm not helping. It's really an awful feeling when your friend's desperately in need of help. Saddest part is when you know for a fact that you can't do anything besides sit and tell that person it's gna be ok. You can't actually help them no matter what. Worshtu...

50 Years Ago!

Yeah, sounds like a column in "The Hindu", but that's not what I'm referring to. 50 Years ago, in some remote part of England, two teenagers met each other. Sounds pretty trivial to be bothered about. Move on.

But these two teens didn't know that they would grow up to be two of The Most Inspirational People in the History of Music. Yes, Paul Mccartney and John Lennon had met each other for possibly the first time on the 6th of July 1957. Most of us weren't even born. Even our parents might've been toddlers or kids. But these two gentlemen met and went on to create the Biggest thing in the Music History according to me. The Beatles have inspired me very much, their songs have made me realize some stuff in life that I wouldn't have learned from anywhere else.

And to those who say Music is only contemporary and listening to The Beatles is stupid, I've got some choice words for you which I can't type here. The Beatles is probably the best thing that's ever happened to me and the World of Music.

Rakesh has a poster in his room which has a collage of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and John Lennon and a caption says "Spirits of Rock".

Jimi Hendrix, is a true God. I've not heard enough songs of his to worship him, but I know for sure that he is a Guitar God and will remain so for a really long time to come.
Jim Morrison, is Rakesh's God. Great songs but I can't call them Gods. Pretty good, but not Gods.
John Lennon, what can I say about him. The Beatles is THE best thing that's ever happened. Can't think of anything to say about them.


Now The Beatles are true Gods. Worship them. Fall to them. Drown in their soul stirring music.

Sivaji!

Lessons I've learnt:

1. DO NOT expect logic from a Thalaivar movie. Those who do are plain idiots.

2. No matter how hard Shankar tries to choreograph a fight sequence, it ends up like the one in Matrix 2. (Atleast according to me.)

3. Painting people's belly with pots and Thalaivar's face is not aesthetic to look at, though it's kinda creative.

4. The only way to watch a Thalaivar's movie is to scream Thalaivaa once every three mins and clap till your hands turn red and the person in fronta you turns back to stare at you. You mite wna say "Padatha paaru da" (Watch the movie dumbo) to him/her.

5. Even if the hero is beaten till blood oozes out from every possible location in his face, its only acceptable if Thalaivar makes a comeback from that state. Anyone else? Rejettted!

6. Contrary to popular opinions, I don't find the heroine of this movie a) Hot b) A siren c) The hottest thing to scorch our screens since Simran. In fact someone thinks, "Typical of Rajini heroines, she is 'pothikinu' dressed during the movie and 'avuthikinu' dressed in the songs".

7. ARR should appeal to the Court to give him a right to sue those who manhandle his songs in the name of Picturization. First in the List is Shankar with his unrealistic, unwarranted, lavish sets. (Athiradee is an exception, best choreoghraphed Thalaivar song in History).

8. Thalaivar's style of saying Santhosam used to get on my nerves, now I've realized that I have no other choice.

9. It's very easy to convert Black money into legal money. Watch the Boss do it, with lots of ishtyle of course.

10. "Thalaivaaaa" "Whistle Whistle"

This one isn't a lesson, but an observation. Everytime ARR's name's on the screen, I seem to be the only one screaming my lungs out in the whole theatre.

One of those Moods

At present, I'm in one of those moods in which you feel everything has let you down. Everyone you trusted, everything you felt that would lift you up, has let you down completely. They weren't expected ofcourse, but you always felt if something like this ever happens, you would stay strong enough to go through it. Right now, I doubt if I can make it through the way I want to. It's pretty hard to digest what's happening. It's even more horrible when you know for a fact that no matter what you do, the things that've happened are irreversible and all you can do is wait for someone to help you or something to get you back to normal. Waiting for that event or that person, the sooner the better.

Legal Issues!

FINALLY i ride LEGALLY.

Yes, got my 2-wheeler license today. Had to spend the whole morning waiting for the Inspector to come. Stupid fellow instructed us to come by 10 and that lazy bum ended up coming there only at 1!!! So he came, did the test (Standard 8 pottufying), went back to the RTO, got my picture taken and got the little piece of Plastic which enables me to ride Legally.

Finally got rid of my clean shaven looks, had that only for a week or so. Now back to the Muslim beard, as so many of my lovely friends were so kind to point out.

And the stupid college reopens this Wednesday. Will try to be nice to my juniors. What's the fun in ragging them? No gals! Cha.
