Am back ... (well..again!)

Been doing / seeing lots of new things this time.... though that doesnt justify for a long break from blogging!

Just started tweeting again... though I somehow feel, it is not something that I will really enjoy...let's see.

Enjoyed watching the you tube videos of "Dhoni" and "Jai" (blabbering CKS, i am wearing dhoni's shirt etc etc) during CSK matches... really really funny!

Have been watching episodes of Two and a half men on star world on Sundays... have got addicted to these... just hilarious...

Busy with some functions at home... my cousin's engagement, my uncle's sashtiapthapoorthi(in simple words, 60th birthday) and my nephews' upanayanam...

Once again, I am on the "healthy" track... with walking everyday and having green tea (almost daily). The second part is the toughest!

Am also busy increasing my "social" activities... I go to the park in my apartment everyday in the evening... other than enjoying cool breeze, I also get to make lots of friends... :)

Life is Good :)

Me and movies

So, it is again about movies...
Saw couple of movies in Tamil...

Aayiraththil Oruvan
Tamizh Padam

AO was just excellent in the first half... the blood shed was a bit too much, but the story was interesting for sure... As I was just wondering how the story will go in the second half, it was pathetic! Though I saw the edited version (I heard about 45 mts of the story was cut due to length), the second half was just not tolerable...
But I think it is a movie that we should watch atleast once... For the sake of the different storyline.

* The imagination of a chola king being alive is ok. But after that the story goes in a confused manner... Some black magic... some superstitious believes... some inscriptions.... aaaaaahhhhhhh
* Andrea is nowhere to be seen in the second half. (Probably because of some issues with the director, her role was reduced).Even in the first half, her character is very confusing... she doesnt tell about any of the problems... suddenly, from one point, she starts helping out...
* It is an out-an-out Reemma Sen (what s with the spelling!??!) movie. Karthi, could have thought before taking this role! After seeing his role in the first half, we expect so much... but there is nothing much for him after that.
*Why... why should the Cholas be shown as a group of uncivilised barbarians... (wherein the king alone lives happily), while the Pandiyas have eveolved into sophisticated human beings?
* So many confusions in the second half...! (Some in the first half too!)

A MUST WATCH MOVIE despite its negative points... Rarely, do we have a Tamil movie like this.

The next one, Tamizh(p) Padam

This was a complete contrast to the previous movie that I saw.
Full of funny lines and "typical" stuff from lots of Tamil movies... It was just hilarious. But beware, those who dont follow lot of Tamil movies, will hardly understand the jokes. I enjoyed the movie a lot. But only someone with a political background can come out with a movie like this. They have made fun, that too very openly, about stars in Tamil cinema... Rajni, Kamal, Karthik, Vijay, Simbu, TR, Vijaykanth etc etc... The hero, 'Mirchi' Shiva has given excellent performance in all the scenes. As usual, the heroine doesnt have much to do. The songs are nice... I liked the one with no lyrics, other than usual blabbering of lots of Tamil songs.
A very light movie... Go for it if you want to watch a perfect entertainer!

What is everyone doing?

What is this thing with "No time" these days?

I saw this Iodex ad, in which the female was dancing and telling that she has "No time" for pain.
Then, this Garnier Fructis (or whatever) ad, in which this female says she has "No time" for oiling her hair (Oh! Please...)

There is this one called Aloo Mash... It "Saves Time", you know.... It has ready to cook (boiled, peeled and mashed) potatoes

Parachute (advansed) coconut oil has this idea of Hot Oil... So, you just keep it on your hair, it will have the effect of a massage (No points for guessing, "No time" for massage)

What is everyone doing?

Tweet a tweet a tweet

I know, it is not much of a news to join twitter... But I just did and am finding it difficult! I think I am a very "blah-blah" person, who knows very little about keeping it short! http://twitter.com/worldofprabha

But not bad... Look... what a small post by me! Guess am learning ... haa haa

Bye,

AwwwWHAT????????RRRRRRRRRRR

Yawn... Well... Yeah... I saw AVATAR (Sorry for the mokkai Title!)

+ The movie is GREAT
+ The grapics are SUPERB
+ The terms used are NICE... you know, Navi, Sahelu, some God(forgot the name) and spirit stuff
+ The way they have shown Pandora is AMAZING
+ The plants, their lighting... OUT OF THE WORLD
+ again, 3D is FANTASTIC

- The story.... it is BORING...  reminded me of some tamil movies... remember Nayagan, where Kamal fights for people who are asked to clear an area.... same stuff in another planet... ok?
- And... this koodu-vittu-koodu-payara stuff (something like exchange of spirits) we have definitely seen this right?
- Finally, something happens and the Hero saves the world (which is a suspense till the last minute haa haa...)

Overall, it is a movie that everyone should watch... but we get used to the graphics and when the story is boring... the effect is Yawn....AwwwWHAT????????RRRRRRRRRRR

And ya... Wish you a very Happy New Year! Keep smiling...
:)

train, travel and tickets!

I just love my daily travel in the electric train. Initially, I thought of listening to music / reading books while travelling, but later, I stopped all that and now, I just enjoy looking at things around me...

What I have noticed many times is, people getting into a First Class compartment in a hurry and then they would rush to the next compartment in the next station.

There was this couple who once boarded the FC compartment, without looking at the board. Then a person standing near the door told the man, "Sir, ithu first class." The lady was just getting ready to get down. The man told her to wait. He said, unless someone comes for checking, we wont have any problem. Now, the guy who warned them, got angry.... actually, he was the person who was checking tickets and they had to pay heavy fine...

Ithu romba thevaiya?

Excuse me...

Hi...
Needless to say, I ve been a terrible blogger of late... but let me start now... better late than never.

I saw the movie 2012... after a big struggle to get tickets... I enjoyed the movie.
Dont know how far it is true... but if something like that happened, how would it be???

Anyways, it just set me thinking (pls dont laugh yaar, I THINK OK?)
So here s my list of what I would want to do in case someone gives a guarantee that world IS going to end..

1. Visit / call, all my friends and relatives
2. Venice.... I want to see this place just once... :)
3. Watch some movies which have been pending since long

And... well, cant think of much at the moment.

Do comment with what you ll do... (I know this is a very pessimistic idea... but it s ok...what say?)

And then, lot of updates here.
As some of you would know, I am crazy with this Farmville. (though now I am not as addicted as I used to be).
I guess this may be one of the reasons for less blogging!

And I went to some new restaurants (as usual) I just love going to new places and trying out the food there
I went to Crimson Chakra (Adyar), Blur cafe (Satyam), Tandoori Tadka (T Nagar), Flamingo (Velachery), Centre Point (OMR).... etc
Guess, I should start writing reviews in a separate blog (haa haa)

And with this year coming to an end, I (again) been lamenting about how fast time flies... but every new year has another happiness tagged to it.. My Birthday in Jan... I am still crazy about my birthday... Dont know why... I still love the excitement attached to it.

Well, I guess enough of a "nothing-much-to-write-about" blog! Will try to post something "proper" next time. I said "try to" OK? :)

B Bye,
Prabha.
