The real PANDAmonium is here....!!!!




"the Secret incrediant of the secret ingrediant soup is 'nothing'" ther goes the statement.. and this is the crux of the movie....KUNGFU PANDA... a son of a noodle shop owner (a duck) the panda dreams really BIG...... a Panda bear who ONLY dreams of becoming the ultimate Kungfu Master of the whole world... finally attains it...

when the emperor declares Panda as the Dragon warrior,shiefu the kungfu master becomes upset... as he wanted the Tigress to be the Dragon warrior...... shifeu didn't ever dreamt of a Panda becoming a warrior...

Panda's biggest weakness becomes ... biggest strength... it realises through its master Sheifu... The movie is a perfect cascade of Comedy and philosophy....

Philosophy.....?? Yeah ... there is .... watch carefully the movie... in the initial scenes.....TAI LUNG is the vilain of the movie.... was supposed to be nominated as a Dragon warrior.. but was denied by the emperor.... furious Tai lung destroys the village... the story of TAI LUNG was exceptionally embedded in the movie..... The intro of the villain in the movie is really mind boggling....

there is a real fun on each and every move of Panda in th movie............ the fight scenes were beautifully picturised......

DO watch the movie in a theatre near by you..... its a movie worth watching PANDA in a bigger screen.....

The Transition....

After a long time i am writing again.....its half past 2 at night... Still am awake....just stepped into my writing pads.... felt like starting again.. this time a little more matured in the way am going to deliver things through this blog.....
am into Transition....!!! spent nearly all my life till this May '08 with parents... sensing a totally different life now....... am now stepping into a new phase in my life...things are different now.. managing everything @ home... ... cleaning clothes,shopping... and sometimes cooking...
it was really difficult without my mom initially when i stepped here......when i was with parents.....every action of mine revolved around them........but this time... am independent.. was an irresponsible son to my parents.. used to get scoldings from my mom everyday... even for small small things....but now ... i can sense a sea change in my behaviour and attitude....
started loving this transition into next phase of my life.... "Being Responsible"
Too much expectations from my parents and friends from me...still more from my Manager.... My job @ office.. so far .. so good... learning a lot from offfice.....am really enjoying this new phase.... Home and office...... perfectly balanced....... all by myself...!!!
Was an irresponsible, reckless guy...now have become more composed, disciplined and responsible....
for me....
Time is the hero... a perfect tutor... of everything you need... just wait for the time.. you will change.....
and the change will be ONLY for the good......
Thanks to the time... am with beautiful friends now.. they know about me very well for many years...... and with them i will change..... :)

Maestro Magic....!!

His compositions.. a treat... was listening to his tunes... an orchestra.. i got a link from a friend.. who is hardcore fan of Raja.... he scrapped me the link in orkut... now listening for the 7 th time.. the tune is a great masterpiece of the Maestro... an orchestra performed in Italy for Italian audience.. the tune started with a low note.... the pitch was low.. and was more like a lullaby at the start...then came the amazing blend of beautiful tunes...
i consider myself lucky to be born in a place and in a era of the great Maestro.... Music keeps me moving... no matter where i am , what i do... without music.. nothing moves in my day...
used to listen only to selected tunes till my school days... started loving music because of my school .... and it is from their i learned about the freshness and fun in the music.. and that freshness .. u will find in the tunes of illayaraja... hearing to his tunes is like sipping an old wine in a brand new glass....My mom is a great fan to his tunes.... still there is freshness in his tunes..though he limited himself to Tamil and few other southern languages.. he has indeed fans following in North.. all because of his greatest musical hit Sadma.... a remake of Moondram pirai... starring Sridevi and Kamalhassan.. the movie with a greatest blend awesome music, touching story line moved millions in the country.... no one will forget the awesome song yeh zindagi gale laga le ...... and that was Gulzar's one of the best lyrics... and he enjoyed working with the maestro....
and there are many songs that did wonder for the milions who heard..... Illayaraja...... a phenomenon in Music... .. and there some great combo's that did magic ..
Illayaraja-Mohan(Actor)
Illayaraja-Maniratnam(Director)
Illayaraja- KB(Director)
Illayaraja-Bharathiraja(Director)


a perfect architect of beautiful tunes.... some of his melodies...makes us connected with nature... "senthalampoovil vanthaadum thendral".. wat a song.. the song ... beautiully pucturised too...
he was in his peak in that period... many of the singers love to sing for his tunes...
My all time favourites of the maestro are the following, u can download and play...:



the list goes on and on and on..... will add more songs in the same post....

And do listen to this ultimate musical Xperience.. this is the link which i got from my friend..(click on the link for a streaming audio).....

"Ghost in the machine"

was watching i robot last night ....... a sci-fi movie about robotics.. the movie is set in 2050 AD... Chicago.....the story revolves around an unique robot named Sunny.... which has the power of creativity.....the robot justifies its act....the act of murdering its own creator... The father of robotics... came across this phrase in the movie-"Ghost in the machine"... the phrase is nothing to do with paranormal ...the phrase literally means Artificial Intelligence... no no.. sorry .. one step more than AI... providing soul to a machine... which can independently perform its activities without the human intervention.. has the same feeling of a human........it can smell,feel touch.. and also all the intellectuals of humans.. may be more than of a human...... A phenomenon...

i also came across this word "free will"... and that is the ultimate feed for any robots to perform more like humans...... the flow in the movie was awesome.. everything was perfectly logical.... the sequence ... the story line.. no one knows about the culprit in the story.... u will come to know only in the last part of movie.....when i saw the movie for the first time in a theatre...was not that impressed...saw it again @ home... was really good...A movie packed with Action,thriller,emotions.... and even suspense.... a complete package of an ideal will smith movie....

Do watch the movie for its unique story line, picturisation,sound effects and for the awesome Audi car......

FootPrints of True Love....

always envied of people in love... they enjoy the privileges of "to care" and "being cared" ..... but in todays world.. the word "true love" has become an illusion..... just an another word in relationships... some are momentary... some last till marriage.... and some fades out after marriage...

i like to tell about my grand father(Thatha)....was very dear to me.. i was bought up by my grand parents till 4th standard... they passed away when i was studying 10th... and still i am missing them badly.... was too much attached to them .. especially to my Thatha.... he loves kids... he is fun loving .. Energetic and Caring gentleman.... i used to watch TV with all our street children in our home in Madurai...

but why about him in this post about "love"....???

its about a real story of a true love..... not a movie... not an illusion..i have spent my childhood with them... Thatha is too Dark.. while my grand mom(Aachi).... too fair.. but the chemistry was amazing...... have experienced the real sense of true love.. my Grand father is a Tasildhar ... but very simple, humble, down to earth person.. very honest... very disciplined..... ... when my grand mom was admitted for kidney failure... .. and i was with them ..ts very hard to explain about the days we spent in the hospital.... its hard to explain the pain he underwent to save his lady love back to life......

my Aachi was an Asthma patient.. she was a diabetic too... Thatha never allowed her to work..she had the breathing problem..........he did everything.... from cooking to washing clothes.... making me and my sister ready for school...... he is fond of cracking jokes ... and making fun of all...... he is also a gr88 movie freak... we used to go for movies in the week ends... gr88 time....

when i came to Trichy to live with my parents.. was literally down ..missed them badly when i came here....... but still they came for weekends.......
once Thatha came alone for a weekend here..... for the whole day he was thinking of Aachi. he was restless... he went back to Madurai.. on the same night..!!

My Aachi passed away when i was studying 10th... Thatha..... the next year.... he died of hypetoma.... the main cause of which is Depression....... me and my sis tried our best to distract him from the thoughts of his lady love..... but we failed...

sometimes True Love Costs You More........

Shameless Mechanical Amusements......

had some pride to live in a place where they produce firearms for the Indian army... ranging from drill practice gun to Anti aircraft and Anti material gun........ with the advent of technology and its amusements... the "killing" in the war has now become easy.. and the "skill" factor has no role to play in the war today.. gone are the days of Samurai, Trojans, Spartans,Persians,Mongols... they fought with a great spirit and passion to save their country.....those for me are the real war.......... read some articles regarding the ancient war.. was really amazing.. the tactics and strategies... u know almost all the operations and management concepts were derived from the warfield..... especially from those Ancient wars...... with the coming of the industrial age.... everything changed.. there was indeed a sea change in usage of weapons......with a matter of 20 years the west started using firearms... then came howitzers... machine guns.... and the east was still using Bows and Arrows then .. they were savages .. and also quoted "Beasts" by the west...........the coming of Howitzer began the evolution of "mass killing" machines....then came the deadliest beast of all... the "Mighty Tanks".... heavily armored... instant demolition machines... meant for all types of terrains... there is now an option of auto firing in its latest version...Godspeed...!!!!
if this 'pace' continues........ future will come to an instant halt in a press of a button....!! the spirit and passion of war will be missing....

when asked about the fourth world war... Einstein said this.....

When you go to wage the Fourth World War, it will be with sticks and bows and arrows. We’ll be back to primitive man.’..

Culdesac....

was losing patience during the end of a conversation..... felt like walking away from the place.... but couldn't do... waited for more than 90 mins for that to end.... was keeping mum so as to make things wrap up fast.. didn't utter a word when i came to know about the status of the German class.. she confirmed that it won't be possible for her to take the class....she had some other official commitments... and also the strength was only 3.....
initially was listening to two other guys who wanted to pursue their career in Germany.. she was answering their questions.. since it was not relevant for me.... i didn't get my self involved.... was a mere spectator....... was listening to them patiently.....

the guy on my left started throwing some illogical questions.... and also was repeating the same question.... she also was answering for those questions.. it was weird.... the conversation turned ugly when she started from where she began...!! all that was happening for more than one hour....!!! at one point in the conversation when i reached my threshold limit i said to the guy on my left of what he was doing.. but he didn't even bother to listen .... the conversation went on like
that....

it was like getting trapped in a culdesac after a long chase.......

.... atlast she uttered "All the best".... i sighed with relief.....

i said "Thank you madam" with a smile of freedom.....

the conversation ended.... :)

The Last Samurai

always had a fascination of watching movies... especially war movies.....always felt the thrill after watching those movies...last week i saw a scene from the Movie The Last Samurai in Zee MGM....i decided to download the movie... is it wort downloading a movie...?? that too an old one... but the scene i saw in the channel inspired me..... to download..... the movie is about the Japanese way... sorry the way of Samurai...

the scene i saw in the channel is this... its a narration of the hero of the movie....

"They are an intriguing people. From the moment they wake they devote themselves to the perfection of whatever they pursue. I have never seen such a discipline. I am surprised to learn that the word Samurai means, 'to serve', and that Katsumoto believes his rebellion to be in the service of the Emperor. "

the next sec , power went off..... the narration is by an American on the living of the Samurai's..... today morning i saw the whole movie... a bit long movie..a movie about the grass root customs of the Samurai's..... though the samurais are cold when it comes to war.. they show more compassion to humanity... they don't believe in destiny.... and they strongly believe in the will factor......
Its about an American Soldier who is hired by the Japanese Govt to train their soldiers in armoury......but he is taken away by the enemy in a war field.. taken to their land a land of Samurais... he is a troubled American haunted by nightmares .. nightmares of his previous wars with Red Indians.... he wonders when he is treated friendly in an enemy camp.. he lives with a family of a widow whose husband is killed by the American..... inspite of his killing the widow treats him with utmost politeness .......he experiences the way of Samurais .... started loving their living ... it inspires him to fight war against the emperors's army...

Am not going to narrate the story of the movie in this post... but it is a movie worth watching... and one count is increased in my MUST SEE movie list....
before closing the post, let me quote the final dialogue of the Emperor and the the Hero...



Emperor Me
iji: Tell me how he(Samurai Katsumoto) died.
Algren(hero): I will tell you how he lived.

and this is the link from where i downloaded the movie....

Tour De Sithannavasal......

we started late in the morning... didn't start according to the plan... a tour to a place which is 50 kms from our place... five school friends... a santro car...and the rest is overs... A day of laughter... fun ... .... and wat not in a rocky mountain...and not to forget a good meal in the evening in Pudukottai... after a long time i had damn good Non-Veg Meal...

The Drive....

it was 9 in the morning....we started from senthil's place...... in Sanjeev's Santro... with Damn good Sony Car player inside...... and the climate was sexy today.. it was cloudy .. and was drizzling too..... bought some snacks,chips and Pulpy orange... for a long drive ......it was a damn good drive..... and fun in the car....... chatting... and Laughter........... the Big Five's of today were.. Sanjeev,Raj,Lawrence,Senthil and me... the day was ours.. .. this is our second trip .. after a long drive to velankani last year... always a fun with friends in long drive..........especially will be of more fun if u have someone like senthil ....one of my best friends.... very true to his true friends... he makes fun and is a specialist in mocking others....... our laughing was more dominating than the music inside..... the car...

In the woods....

.. we were looking for a good landscape... for some snaps... on the way... we came across a dense forest.... we parked the car.. senthil hesitated to come deeper in to the woods...untill we forced him to come along with us... and the climate was still cloudy...Tall grasses... bushes... and stagnated water too. here and there... suddenly , it started raining..... senthil was cracking jokes... and we didn't ever bother about the rain....we didn't rush to our car... we were enjoying the drizzle... and were moving deeper into the woods... what a fun... it was more like an adventure...
...sun began to show in the mean time... we took a couple of snaps in the woods...and sithannavasal was just 5 kms away from the place.....

The reverberation

we were waiting for a long time near a locked door of a cave...it was a Jain cave... carved out of a mountain... Jain monks lived there for years in the cave for Bliss and peace .... a man came with some keys... the cave is maintained by archaeological survey of India.....he was our guide for that cave. he told the history and the origins of the cave.... there were beautiful carvings and painting on the ceiling of the cave... paintings of the Jain monks collecting Lotus flower from a lotus pond... it was painted nearly about some 1300 years ago.....unfortunately taking photos inside the cave was prohibited....and our guide explained about the acoustics of the cave... the cave has got its own science... the nature,the setting of the cave is so unique by itself... the cave is meant for the Jains to meditate... he first took me inside the cave... i was standing alone with him... he asked others standing outside to be quite... i was wondering wat was happening around....the cave was dark..... and was smalll too.. the guide was standing near me.. he suddenly made some Humming sound ... signaled me to stay inside...he went out.... all which happened Next was the acoustic wonder.... the Humm sound he produced was still vibrating inside the cave... and the amazing part is that the intensity of the sound was increasing...... i could sense the pressure building up because of the humm sound he produced... came out of the cave room wondering.... same happened to rest of my friends... the man told.. the Humm sound repeats 7 times inside the cave.. and the sound energy will never go out from the cave.... the entry fee for the cave is just five bucks..... u will also get some locally Village made ice creams in the foot of the cliff......and trust me.. they were really tasty......and cost just 2 bucks.....


The Climb


we then started to sithanaivasal which was just 2 kms from the cave... its a place where saints used to hide from other "Material Humans" for peace...
but some in that area say .. that the king of pudhukottai hated saints and monks... he started killing them... out of fear some monks came to this place for hiding.... history is always mythical...



we were in the top after a long climb......this place is not that famous in Tamil Nadu...many doesn't know about this place... so there were only little people in the mountain.. it was too calm, deserted .. and was windy too...the top of the cliff was bordered with iron rails for support....and the view from the top was too good.. lush green fields.... lakes,villages.... the view was scenic with the cloudy climate.....it took just 30 mins to climb up the hill....


Fun on the Top....

we were innovative on the top.. i don't know how that happened... we played games on the top... running here and there... though it was dangerous... the "fear factor" was missing ..... we spent nearly 3 hours on the Top chatting,Playing,singing,shouting.. Real fun.......... we really got tired at 5 in the evening... descended .. got back in the car..




drove to Pudhukottai.. we didn't have lunch in the afternoon... we went to palaniyappa Mess.. famous for its mouth watering Non-Veg Dish.... we were too hungry....i broke my "being vegetarian" tag in my life.. had some spicy tandoori chicken.... and some chetinad varieties too..... and the Day ended with our landing Back to our usual OFT park ........Again we started our usual chats in the park bench...and because of the rain we were forced to disperse back to our home..........

10000 BC


felt as if transcended back to the age of Mammoths and the Egyptians for 120 mins.. ....it was more like a documentary of time and the civilizations..... unfortunately the movie was dubbed in Tamil...coz of my friends compulsion i went for the movie.. i hate to watch any English movie dubbed in Tamil... but that was the only way to bunk a three hour boring lecture in my college....hate to sit for a long time in class lost in thoughts....... went with my four of my school friends in car........we went for the morning show.... but was too late....already half an hour had gone.. so we decided to watch the Matnee show..
went for some shopping in the mean time.. my car kissed with an Auto... while negotiating a turn....it was my fault... was made to pay 500 bucks... my friends paid..... was really upset about the accident.. but nothing actually happened to my car...
had lunch in a hotel.. after half an hour... we were in the cinema hall...the movie started with a narration... about a group of people living in hills... they hunt mammoths for their living.... the mammoth hunting scene ..... brilliantly picturized...the story line is bit dragging... some may lose patience in the first half... A band of hunters and their allies fighting for the freedom of millions of slaves tortured in the Pyramids......groups or band of communities join together for war against slavery....... the movie is more of a quest of the hunters to kill "slavery"... the final climax.. the action sequences... in the pyramids.. AMAZING...
i will rate 7 out of 10 for this movie.. .........will watch it again if i get a chance.. but only in English... and forgot to say one thing.. the heroine of the movie was too cute..... click on the pic on the right for an enlarged view --------------->

illogical ,Horrible.....But funny...

Used to kill my evening time with music and movies..... and some times with school friends at a park nearby..... we used to chat for a long time...till 10 at night..but this chat only happens only in the weekends... when they come here for weekend holidays....... but today was bit boring.. was fed up with hearing same songs in my desktop..My mom watches serials in the evening...i hardly get the remote in my hand.... but in the break of those serials i swap to music channels ...

......since i got stuck with no work... and nothing to do also...i decided to watch a serial with her... it was Kahani Ghar Ghar ki.... the serial went on.... the director of the serial has an assumption that 95% of the Indian population are in the the upper class... the story line focusing only on them...... ..... Posh bungalows with damn good Interiors.... but monotonic low price cell phones...ringing!!!!
f
orgot to tell about the sound effects.... i think they have a dedicated team of sound engineers ..... they spend more money on the background score i suppose.... was too funny...too much effects for even " you had dinner?" kind of dialogues....

and u will come to know the relationships between the characters only through the dialogs....you can't believe when 22 year old looking woman is casted a mother of a 20 year old daughter...!!......This can only happen in Ekta Kapoor serials.....

glossy and flashy interiors.... story line Illogical.. and sound effects horrible.......first i was mocking at my mom's watching the serial..... was making fun out of those serious scenes...but together we laughed at some scenes.... some scenes were too senseless.......its a kind of fun watching serials sometimes....i had indeed a good time watching serial and mocking at every scene of the serial... we both were laughing as if we were watching Gags ,Just for laughs....

gone are those days when we used to watch some good quality serials like Reporter,Tehkikath, Jantar Mantar,Malgudi days....those were "the" best ones which had "the" best story lines....they were simple, and also had many viewers..... in spite of the low TV penetration....those are the real classics of Indian TV sops....

Cruise on the Sea Shore.......

The long sexy road stretching right from Chennai to cuddalore along the east coast ..The ECR (East Coast Road).....its just a two lane highway...but why so much Hype about this two lane in Tamil Nadu especially in Chennai??

u will find the answers in City's youth.........when u ask them about their favorite hangout in Chennai... a three letter word will pop out from them.... E C R .....
whats more special about this particular road is the road itself..... clean and glossy highway....
its a heaven for bikers..... u will notice guys clicking easily to about 80 km/hr...
wats more interesting about this road is the number of hangouts along the road....MGM, Mayajal, VGP, Boat house, Crocodile bank,Mahabalipuram......
Too many beautiful resorts along the ECR.....
mainly meant for all night partying, and soaking under the sun in the beach........
The first hangout along the ECR is the Prathana Beach Drive in....an open theatre where u can drive in-park and watch movie.... when i first went there with my friends..i was really wondering about the acoustics in the open space..... when i watched the movie... the clarity of sound was really good...There were speakers mounted on metal poles at equal intervals.... and it is really a fun watching a movie from inside the car......
after a few Kms from the Drive-in you will find is the Boat house.....
What's new in the Muttukadu Boat house now is ... WATER SCOOTERS... this time cruising in the backwaters of the sea.........not far from the boat house is Mahabalipuram... famous for its splendid carvings in a single rock....
a bit boring place.. not a place for youths......
Mayajaal. the Mall on the shore is famous for it Bowling, restarants, cofee shop,Karting and Cinema halls... one can shop and watch movies on this shore mall..

Mind guys and gals.. this is not just another "road"... its a freak-n-fun highway.... a best package of biking,karting,water cruising,shopping... an All in one road .... EXCLUSIVE FOR YOUTHS....

My all time Favourite Rain-song....

Rhythm of the Rain
by Cascades


My mom bought an audio cassette when i was 12 .
"20 oldies English Classics"..... damn good sweet music.... all ever green classics of 70's.... i found this song in the cassette .... loved this song... and still hearing it..........gr88 music... and the lyrics... Awesome....!!This song has the complete Package of LOVE-RAIN-MUSIC.....
The song starts with the sounds of the rain drop.... then comes the sweet tunes blended with beautiful lyrics.... am not exaggerating...check out the lyrics....

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know
That when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

[Instrumental Interlude]

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter pater, pitter pater
Oh, oh, oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter pater, pitter pater

To hear this song just click the CASCADES in the DEEZER player on the right bar.......

In to the 'Real' World....today.....

I realized my real 'self' and the real 'world' today... used to live in a parallel 'dream' world 'exclusive' of mine..today i was asked to read the contents of a paper in my class.... its about me... and the funny thing is .. it was written by me....!
at the end of the reading i came to know about the "real" me.... got really embarrassed as all my class mates began to laugh at me... not because of the contents of the paper.. but because of my hands trembling.... i couldn't control the trembling... was hurrying to finish it of for the sake of finishing.... returned back home embarrassed ....slept off... in the afternoon......
i realized how weak i am in communicating to a gathering...
but i consider this event as a stepping stone..... a guide... for the long journey of mine....
as said in "pursuit of happyness"... this little part of my life is called....
"stepping into reality"

Keep Moving.....!!


.....i love to share a story of someone who actually inspired Millions....... when ever i am down with some trouble or pain.... i used to play a video which i downloaded two months back.... the video is about a true story of a boy in his teens... the boy is totally blinded and his legs are crippled.. he was born with this handicap.. when he was born,their parents were totally shattered and devastated on seeing their baby with that condition ........
but then one day... his Dad found a hidden talent in the boy... he found the boy was hitting the right keys of the piano with ease ... he was able to make tunes of "Twinkle twinkle little star"... he was just 9 months old then..!! ... His Dad pruned his talents accordingly.encouraged him in the "sound of music".....the shattered parents gained confidence from their child's fascination in music....
He is now 17 .. and is now performing for the American Football Musical Bands...he also plays for various concerts and program............. The name of the boy who inspired the Millions across America is
Patrick Henry Hughes, pianist and vocalist.


No matter what you are and what disabilities you have.. its the guts and daring to fight against all odds pays..... the attitudes within speaks more than anything in this world........
Just don't care about anyone ........care only for your loved ones around.....your true friends,Parents,siblings... these people will Push you towards the Horizon of happiness through success......
i am skeptic about Love sometimes...... just an Infatuation haunting every now and then.. a multiple Illusion...... was once getting more distracted to this illusion....todays youth are more pulled and distracted to so called "love".......... true love is a mature love....... the best example of true love is this:


Free yourself from the clutches of those unwanted Infatuations ... haunted by thoughts.... a waste of time......

KEEP MOVING, NEVER EVER PAUSE....!!!!!

Namesake....

.......i am not good in judging people.... coz i hate to do that... i hate people snooping in others life......... i sometimes get irritated when some people do that.... i coin them 'Fake friends'....
......like to be open and straight forward to those who trust me.... but the more you are frank and honest to a 'fake friend' the more you are vulnerable to back stabbing..and you will realize his 'Fakeness' only after the stabbing......... i have experienced that.....these fake people will be with you till there primary motive gets satisfied........

Now am really careful in dealing with those people......... but some times my usual flow or the 'Real me' comes in............after passing out my graduation from a wonderful college with damn real and sweet friends... i stepped in my PG college life... first few trimesters i was the same 'UG college guy'.. nothing changed in me.. used to be very close to people and make friends very quickly... later i realized making friends quickly was like getting stuck in a 'Quick sand' .. u get stuck in nowhere...i respect and believe in Trusted flawless friendship..... i strongly believe in the following statement:
"One who gossips to you will gossip about you"
its 200% true.....i have gossiped...... Now i am realizing how stupid to talk ill about someone when u have dirt in you......
True friend hits u from front... while a fake one stabs from back......
its better to be in solitude with good Music around than to be with a Namesake friend.........

'Friends never betray you, only people you thought were your friends."
- T.Mike Runger

Too be continued.......

The influence....

I am now habituated to buy books as a remembrance of a place where I visit…One such book was Michael Palin’s Himalaya which I am reading now…I bought this book at Dharamsala as a remembrance and Its all about his journey from Khyber Pass that was the starting point of Himalayas to Bangladesh, the ending point of the renowned snow capped mountain range…I wondered "what influenced him to make such a journey in his life?...and the words in the book stirred up my lingering memories towards nature…

I firmly believe that our present and future actions are based on influences of the past...Influence could be any….circumstances & people who lead us to that circumstances,….I am more influenced by nature than circumstances. Because circumstances change, People change but nature never changes….

My acquaintance with Himalayas is two years old now….This happened because of my stay in Dehradun for two years .Being failed in all my efforts to find a job after completing my engineering, I was totally lost and left with an unfulfilled dream “getting a job in Chennai and enjoying life with friends”….. My life always turns impartial to me when I ask compromise for my mistakes and it gives me judgment which I am not
prepared for….While doing my engineering I was easy going with life and imbibed with all sort of activities other than studies and never dreamt of other option if I left out with no job after college…the same occurred ....Not overconfidence in me but this time I failed because of my over confidence with the society thinking that it will welcome me with the red carpet…later I realized society does not…I knocked all the doors and there was no reply for my call…..

Finally I gave up and started my journey to dehradun for doing post graduation…With lot of questions about my future and newly accumulated fears in mind, I prepared myself for this journey without knowing that it is going to change my life one day…Staying away from home is not a question for me because I have already spent my school and college days in hostel…...But this time everything had turned into a question....from language to food, living, people climate etc…...Bearing all hopes and fears, I reached Chennai central with my parents and friends and there i got a chance to meet around 10 guys who are also joining the same college… that to the same course in which I have enrolled on...One of my fear was reduced after knowing them all and I started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel without knowing the distance to reach the light….

The konkan rail route........



......The best thing about this railroute is that the journey itself is more of a picnic fun .. mainly because of the eyecatchy landscpaes... on the either sides of the rail route.. .. this is the best journey i have ever expereinced.. it was not like a travel.. it was more like a ride on a picnic train... the journey was really breathtaking....
The journey started from Mangalore to Panjim.... it was a jolly tour of some 72 guys to GOA.. and we guys usually dance, sing , play games with fellow passengers in trains... but this journey was totally different... all were allured to the beautiful landscapes scrolling across in the open...... some were even sitting on the door steps of the train......
The main attraction of this journey is the freaking dark tunnels.....
when the train enters the tunnel... darknesss fills the coach.... wow .. what a feeling that too.. water or stream just pouring from the sides of the tunnel from nowhere....sounds of water splashing on the ground... with the train sounds.. in the Hollow tunnel...cool air flowing across the face........ u will feel like singing Manzil se behthar lagne lage hain yeh rasthe....
