And yeah.That is exactly what I have done. Knowing a hundred percent that I havent spent anytime on this blog for last couple of years, I have dared to open another one. It is more thematic, focused on business world and thoughts that bother me too much around it. You can see some of the action at My Biz Musings shortly.Ciao

Hey..I watched the movie MINNALE umpteen times. I own the DVD as well. Yes, I do like Reema Sen and I used to be a Madhavan fan. But beyond all this, there is another reason why I liked that movie. There is one dialogue which occurs twice - once by Maddy and other by Reema "ennadhaan irundhaalum Madras maadhiri varuma"( Whatever you say, can any other place compare to Chennai?). And I loved it !!

Hey..Reservation - one of the biggest political keywords in post-independent India, this has created and destroyed governments, leaders and people. The Mandal commission reservation resulted in self immolations and hartals. Any deviation of reservation of any sort is simply out of question. The heaviest hit sector because of reservation policies is obviously that of education. Almost all over the

Hey..Wish you all a very happy Independence day.I will keep this real short. I was amused, suprised, interested and more than anything - happy - when I read this news article from Hindu - President uses powerpoint.A non partisan, highly educated, motivated, energetic, visionary, selfless, patriotic and a good man & leader Dr Abdul Kalam is our president.

Hey..I have been reading the India 2020- A vision for the new millenium by APJ Abdul Kalam and YS Rajan. The book was published in 1998. It carries a lot of relevance and message to the citizens of India. Of the various articles that I have come across and books I have read on this subject of making India a developed nation, this is definitely a precise and "upto the point" book. Seven years

Hey ..(Before we proceed any further on this, if you are a Rajni fan, please close the broswer, go to the cinema and just enjoy)Can one manufacture an atom bomb using a test tube? Yes. Mix and stir in a test tube - 50% Ambulimama stories, 25% of the ghost-movies like BHOOT, a pinch of Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets and a whole LOT of SUPER STAR in it - you get an explosive hit called

Hey..Lucky you that I have been in vacation for so long and gave a big break to my blogs. I have been tasting authentic sweet, karam and coffee from Chennai and rest of Tamilnadu and having a great time here back home.I had planned to visit some of the little known temples and forts in the South when Iam here and as per that plan I visited Gangai Konda Cholapuram a few days back. This is the city

Hey.."There is no world to take over anymore. It's only corporations." - This is a dialogue spoken by Number-2 from Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery. And no kidding - this dialogue is one another sample to say what a genius 'Austin' is.There was a time when movie stars where the celebrities. Then the list extended to sports. Later the political leaders formed their own fan groups.

Hey..I have decided. The hunt finally came to a halt, temporarily at least. I have been doing this search for quite some time already. I knew at some point of time I have to make a decision, I have just been postponing it. Was looking at various options, discussing with friends, thinking a lot about this, comparing the choices etc., Finally it has come to a end.. for now.Iam talking about my

Hey..(This is in response to the first three comments on my previous blog "the knights templars of today".)There is no disputing to the questions that you have raised in your comments. And for the record, Iam not one of those pseudo securalist ilk, like the Congress and the Janata Dals, who talk abstractly on restraint & religious tolerance etc.,. On the contrary I believe in all religiousness

Hey..The Da Vinci Code is a very interesting work of fiction. Dan Brown brought to light the alleged hidden facts that almost shake the very foundation of Christendom. The Kinghts Templars or the Poor Knights of the Solomon Temple swore allegiance to recover the hidden truth buried under the Solomon Temple and protect it for generations together.Unfortunately a few of our generation seem to have

Hey..Yesteryear movies -specially Black & White ones- are remembered with so much fondness by our parents, grandparents and by us. They were of the gentle, romantic, family-oriented ones that could be watched almost anytime, unlike today's (Hindi) movies, where one has to watch with one hand on the remote ready to switch to ESPN if someone walks in. Old Tamil movies had an excellent cast with

Hey..There is always the time when every one of us comes to a standstill and wondering what to do.. Iam not talking of a vague quarter life crisis here - this is simpler. This is the time when one has to purchase gifts to the dear and near ones back home. Iam sure that every desi travelling to India would have given a sound thought about this.Here Iam, planning to visit home .. Hurrah.. and that

Hey..Every year a set of prominent and talented people of every field come together and discuss, evaluate, vote and award the best performers in that field. Some of these award ceremonies are very popular and call for huge media coverage on a closing eve. Others are popular because of what they represent, mean and their impact. The Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, Miss Universe/Worlds etc., are examples

Hey..A bachelorhood is something that everyone of enjoys with passion and will remember with fondness down the lane. Living by oneself, no restrictions, no formalities, no boundaries, unlimited girls to stare at - are precious gifts that will exist only during the single life.I was talking to one of my friends the other day and we got into a discussion of how women give a benefit of doubt to the

Hey Iam a Michael Crichton fan. I read his books time and again. I never cease to wonder how Crichton does his highly extensive research and blends fact with fiction so smoothly that, at the end of every one of his preposterous situations, one still ends up with the thought that someday this will all be true. Some of his works leave a very uncomfortable feeling nagging what if ? Jurassic Park,

Hey..We all know that necessity is the mother of inventions. Sometimes when these inventions become part and parcel of our daily routine, we never realise that there was a necessity at some point of time that triggered this invention. Thousands of years ago when one man wanted to communicate to another he possibly used signals. It must have been terrible just to say a "How are you doing?". People

HeyIt is very unfortunate to see the title of my blog. The three words should'nt even be appearing in one single line, leave alone becoming catchy titles. Neverthless, religions & religious leaders are always surrounded by controversy irrespective of what they believe and what they preach.Religion is a institutionalized system of belief. A belief that is built over strong thoughts, principles,

Light music - particularly film music - is an boon to all of us. Every civilsation/country has its own musical preferences, styles and music-gurus. And India has produced some of the most memorable

Hey . .Iam sure that all of us have been pirates one time or another. Nah - not the Johnny Depp kind in the movie wearing a one eyed patch, shouting a base tone he-ha-ho chorus, wearing a pendant with a silver-skull and drinking brandy all day and night. There is a price on your head and then there is always the hope of ending up in a isolated island with the most beautiful girl in a long

HeyHollywood is astounding. Bollywood is glamorous. Kollywood is our passion. In the same vein we have desiwood - the wonderful desi movies that are low budget, capturing lives of desis - the Indians who come yearn and finally land up at the oppurtunity rich United States. Most of these movies are low budget, with a low-profile star cast, simple themes, targeting purely the NRI community - and

HeyChennai - the most happening city ! Well, it probably is not, but however that is how I choose to describe my most favorite city. There is always a passion for Chennai that I have had. Coming to think of it, Chennai is not where I was born or raised until I was 18. I did my graduation at Chennai and I have possibly spent very less time at Chennai than I have outside it. However, my love for
