Life is beautiful....

It's just about ur mind and nothing else ... so true ... Life is too short to cry and crib .. time is wasted when u Crib .... Duties.... at the same time live life as if tonight u r gonna hit the gates of heaven .... also need to be beware and alert on certain things like : fake people , opportunists , and the people who betray and back stab .... Be with them but never trust them .. be geniune to only those who are real and true to u.... Life is full of suprises and that's what keeps us moving and life without suprises is like a water slide without water - u will get stuck and no where to move ....and lastly live life for u first and then to others .....

Life is too short and is beautiful....

Truly - A Definite Page-Turner.....

Am not good at reading novels.. that too sitting in a place and reading for hours.. impossible... but my perception was completely wrong when i read the book of Amish - The Immortals of Meluha...

i was sitting in the balcony of my home at Bangalore on a boring afternoon... it was raining heavily and there was no power... got really bored sitting and watching the streets ... i saw a book of my friend lying on a table nearby... just for the sake of killing time i just ran through the first page... before reading i just glanced at the clock in the living room it was ticking 1 PM....

It was 5 in the evening when i heard a loud knock in the main door... God... i was reading all the way from 1 to 5 in the evening continuously in one sitting... and this book was so amazing that you cannot stop in the mid way... u will feel tempted to turn the book even if u want to stop reading.... i started reading again at 6 in the evening ... it went on till 11 at night... i was exactly in the midway of the book...

The book is about a Man whom the time has turned it to a GOD... yes.. the book is all about a man by named SHIVA .. born in Mount Kailash who saves a city by named Meluha from the evil forces... the book has everything in it.... Love, Passion for the Karma, War , Management , etc... the true love between Shiva and Sati is beautifully portrayed in the book.. and the words used are so simple and good to read.... this is the first book released in the Shiva triology - Yes .. we have 2 more books coming in as a continuation... i have no clue of when the next book is releasing..

Hats off to Amish for this wonnderful book.. it has a good theme .. and is a good read..

And as printed in the title page of the book.. the first book of Amish is a "Definite Page-turner" .....

Ice Age Series :Tales of True love and Friendship

It was a tiring day… spent the whole day slogging at the shop….but now the time is 11:30 PM and I just can’t stop writing about the movie I just watched!!!

Came home at 10… watched Ice Age: The Dawn of Dinosaurs…I have already seen this movie twice …. I just love every single frame of this movie…. Who said Animation movies are just for kiddos…? if this is true then I truly and proudly consider myself as a kid… J

If you have not watched the first 2 part of ice age series.. then please don’t watch this movie… coz you won’t understand the chemistry of the herd : Manny – Ellie – Diego – Sid – Eddie – Crash….

Sid is the character I love the most… a big time comedian of the herd J …

Manny and Ellie are expecting their first child… Manny gets panicked whenever Ellie feels the kick in her stomach…. and u will feel the warmth of love between Manny and Ellie in many Scenes… the “ Too Much Caring “ Manny gets frightened when he feels Ellie is not comfortable..If you have ever fell in love in your life.. Then certainly this is one of the movies to watch… there is love in every frame between Ellie and Manny…. Sid on the other hand spots an secluded 3 eggs of a dino…. In an outrageous situation Sid starts parenting the baby Dinos..!! Sid later gets kidnapped by the mother of the Baby dinos into a different part of the Jungle underneath the Ice shelved Polar Caps ..!!!

What’s next is a roller coaster ride…. The herd starts the rescue mission to locate and help Sid.. I don’t want to comment or narrate the scenes in the movie.. all I can say is if you have an awesome friends in ur Life.. and if u have ever fell in love in life…. Then I strongly recommend watching this movie… It’s all about Fun in Friendship and Bliss in unconditional Love… and I like to end this post with a small dialogue between Manny and Ellie…

Ellie: You know I think there is something bothering Diego.

Manny: No, I am sure everything is fine

Ellie: you should talk to him.

Manny: Guys don't talk to guys about guy problems. They just... punch each other on the shoulder.

Ellie: That's stupid!

Manny: To a girl! To a guy that's, like, six months of therapy!

Ok.. Time to hit the bed…. It’s already 12 … Bus to Bangalore @ 6 in the morning L ….

A Friend In Need....

That’s Correct… what he said to me is a sheer reality… “There are people dying without food… and there are people who worry about their next meal”… the very next moment….all my worries vanished in thin air…. Not able to compare my worries with the pain of those who die of hunger....... also was bit ashamed about my worries…

Her thoughts were haunting me… it happened when I moved to a different work location away from her … I started to miss her badly… I really don’t know why and how this happened all of the sudden..…she is just a good friend of mine…but things changed when i moved away from her....i am not able to tolerate the fact that she is not with me in my new location… I loved solitude but slowly started hating it when I moved away from her… Slowly I started liking her.... There was a point when I started to miss her very badly… in spite of so many issues in my business and family…. My thoughts were still on her.. It was bit weird.. coz the priorities got reversed after I started missing her… My laughing Goddess…

Not able to tolerate her separation…. My worries crossed a threshold point … I called my best buddy… my well wisher… and told him everything that happened to me in the last few months.. ….he was patiently listening to all my stories ….. There was a long pause… was not able to hear anything in the phone… he then started with the below statement…

.. “There are people dying without food … and there are people who worry about their next meal… people who don't have anything to wear on.... just compare your worries with them… Just Think..”

A friend in need is a friend Indeed…. So true…. My priorities… re-prioritised back….:) :)

Thank U Arun (Ellie)…:)

Journey continues......

My last blog was on somewhere around Feb '08.......after eating 11 months of ample time... I feel its hard to continue from where i left over....these eleven months plunged me into work... more work....nothing else....i forgot my home, moreoften my friends and surroundings too....Chandru has also tried material times in making me to continue the blog.. ...i am not such an adamant person but circumstances made me too....Beiing in construction field, i shud not have any restrictions to travel as this was the first oath which i have taken to self...after accepting an assignment i was asked to go a place where my colleagues hesitated to go....hesitations because its a remote village, no basic facilities (internet & saloon for hair cut, english newspaper) and no electricity...(our office has got a separate genset)....dint have a pc & internet i felt that stopped me writing blogs.....na na i made up my mind like that....even i got frustated with non availabilty of basic facilities but i shud admit the truth this place brought an inner peace in me.....I started believing that places where we were living plays a very big role in bringing peace within ourselves..i had no other thought/distractions other than my assignment...slowly i went into the flow of work may that put me into peace...i started relishing it for 7 months even after reaching bombay...it took me away from my present...With preoccupied frustations last week Chandru reminded me to see his blog....i thought chandru wud have stopped writiing...because its human tendency if one stops from doing some thing it means none shud do (hope i fall under this category!!!!)...he was the one who throve me to write blogs when i was hesitant to share my views in blogs initially and now after a long time am seeing the same chandru there telling me the same.....as a true friend the output from me is what u have read above a few seconds ago......the journey restarts with inner peace now......

Rs.500

Think Twice Before Spending ...... 

There is a section in OUR society which is getting aloofed because of YOUR spending...

Humans are Disgusting.......

           it was exactly ticking 1 PM in my watch ... was waiting for the GREEN signal... A hot sultry afternoon but still i could see people all over the road.... the road was completely jam packed with pedestrians and vehicles... could see a kind of chaos in their faces... all were busy shopping...... 

still  40 seconds left for the GREEN... 

i was waiting just close to the divider to take a right turn... happened to see an old man in his late 80's probably, he  was standing on the footpath just opposite to where i was stationed with my bike.....he was begging for money .. he was carrying few coins on his battered copper plate..... 

 20 seconds left for he GREEN.... 

i saw a teen couple just running across the pedestrian crossing....

 10 seconds for the GREEN... 

what i heard next is the crying of the Old man.... i saw his plate on the road and his coins spilled over the foot path and the road..... 

RED-YELLOW-GREEN....  

with the seconds counting .... and the vehicles behind me honking at me to move...  instead of taking a right turn i took a U and came to the same place where i saw the most disturbing scene.......

A traffic police man was beating up the old man ...... I saw the poor man roiling on the floor for collecting the spilled over coins.....it was the two teenagers who collided with the old man and the coins where spilled over the road and the footpath... the man was in tears .... searching for the coins in the road..... the police was beating up the old man....  i could not digest the fact that a 35 year old police is beating an 80+ year old man ..... Completely Insane...!!! he was shouting  " please don't beat me, i want to feed my grand daughter tonight, and i have lost all my coins in the road, please help me.... "  The police man dragged him off the road ... and was beating the old man hardly.... some were watching this scene.. and some were not even bothered about what was happening.... was helpless...

  Again the GREEN showed ... took a right turn.... 

 on my way back home i saw ANIMALS on the road..... i saw animals on the Car , bike , bus ... i saw Animals every where.... i saw animals with their packed shopping bags walking on the roads... i saw fox , scavengers.... on the road...the humans were missing.. i saw dogs(Humans) everywhere.. i saw dogs coming out of office.. from banks counting money its hands.. saw dogs fighting for a seat in the bus... i saw dogs standing in a queue for money in ATM.... i saw animals everywhere..... 

Was so disturbed by the scene... we are actually turning insane... 

The thought of an 80 year old man getting beaten up badly by a 35 year old traffic police was really haunting me.... 

 Came home , tried to sleep for a while... but the thought was haunting me again and again....

people are after fame, money.... they are materialistic, opportunistic,Selfish, Cunning with their cruel intentions.... 

 No Compassion.. there is nothing called brotherhood.... Love , Caring .... 

In the Name of Development... we are marginalising a section of people..... 

No one is there to care for those who are aloofed by this Capitalistic System....

Compassion is now Replaced by Capitalism in the society.....

Humans are turning crooked and wicked.....

We Humans are Disgusting.......

 

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..... :)

Vada Pav..... The Indian Hamburger....!!

One of my favorite road side recipe....
VADA PAV.....see how much butter they are adding.....more the butter... more the "Yummy"...

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...:

• Malayoram veesum kaathu
• sangeetha meham
• karpoora bommai onru
• yeh zindagi gale laga le
• vedham
• mandram vantha thendral
• chinna thai aval
• kanne kalaimane
• keladi kanmani
• rasaathi unna
• thenpaandi cheemayile
• rakkama kaiyya thatu
• Raja Rajathi raaja
• enna satham intha neram

• anthi malai megam

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).....

A Musical treat

"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 Meiji: 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....

The Last Samurai

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 --------------->
