FORGIVE AND FORGET??

If you are the kind of person who can forgive and forget easily.....
I have only one thing to say - AWESOME!!!

YAAAAAAEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! x-(

Coined by myself and the honorable Shri Abhiram Natarajan, that's the sound of extreme irritation / pain / anger / fury / agony / disgust / frustration / anguish / trauma / the feeling of being horrified.
It is also used while criticizing people / things..

e.g. "YAAAAAAAAAAAEYYYYYY thara idhe!"

It has been mistaken many a time, to be a scream of joy i.e. when I put YAAAAAEEYYY as a status message, I get all kindsa pings like "someone's very happy today ;)" / "en ri? full khushi aagidhira?" etc etc...which makes me go all the more - YAAAAAAEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! x-(

Mondays and Tuesdays, for me, are the WORST days of the week!

I feel so YAAAAAAAAAAEYYYYYYYY right now! x-(

WHAT AM I ??

Well...my first post for 2010 :)....

My tagline from this year...is no longer "tall, dark and handsome" :D

It is .."FRAGILE...HANDLE WITH CARE" :)...Sincere thanks to whoever told me this :) :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR folks :)

A recent sequence of events...has left me wondering...as to WHAT I AM....and what exactly "close" friendship is...
What, according to you people, is "close" friendship? :)

AND....WHAT EXACTLY AM I TO YOU PEOPLE?

If I am a close friend, then how close?
If I am not a close friend, then how not-close?

Am I a friend AT ALL??

OR

-Am I JUST like one of those facebook apps/quizzes ( Yeah..I could be some app like "TRap of the day"...or I could be an "imitation jukebox"...where you request the voice..and I imitate it)....or MAINLY, some comedy toy?...which you can play with whenever you are bored/ need some fun...and then leave it ....Am I something like that? Or ...Am I more than that?

-Am I JUST a locker....where you can safely keep all your secrets and personal stuff...Am I something like that? OR..Am I more than that?

-Am I JUST like an ATH (any-time-help) machine...to which you give instructions about what you need...and the machine does it for you....and then...you completely forget about the machine...until the next time you need help from it .....Am I that machine? OR...Am I more than that?

WHAT THE HELL IN THIS DAMN WORLD AM I?????? :) :) :)

Your answers will really help...people :)

It'll help me clear all the false assumptions I make...
i.e. I don't want to assume that I am your close friend or whatever...when the reality is ...I actually am not...:).... (This has happened :) ...believe me...yeah...I have been that stupid and idiotic to make such assumptions...and I don't want to make them in the future :) )

So...if you intend to do something good to me :) :)...please be as clear and as frank as possible....so that it clears all the confusion and false assumptions in me :)...

Waiting for your answers,
Thanks a ton, :)
Ashwin.

TO ALL THE "BUSY" FOLKS IN THE WORLD - SOME QUESTIONS FOR WHICH YOUR ANSWERS WOULD HELP :)

THIS POST IS INTENDED FOR BUSY PEOPLE - HENCE I HAVE TRIED TO KEEP IT AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE...SO THAT YOU DON'T WASTE TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME...READING THIS :)

This is the last blog post from me....for this year :)
Happy New Year to all of you..God bless :)
May this year make all of you much more closer towards what you are busy working for, if not making you achieve what you are busy working for.

This was a very eventful year, to me. There were some happiest days in life and saddest ones as well. A proper sine wave.

Anyways, the year just left me wondering over the nature of you people -
( These are some of the general symptoms of people who become busy. At least, these are some of the things which happened to me, when I was insanely busy. )

-Being busy does change your life. It changes a lot.
-It makes you eat improperly, sleep improperly, causes a lot of physical and mental stress / health issues which are otherwise not there.
-You're unable to spend time with people as before. You're unable to do the things you otherwise like to do.
-It also adds to your temper - you become angered and frustrated very easily.
-Your life is disrupted and everything is just topsy-turvy. You will hate life.
-I can go on and on adding so many points here, about what being busy does to your life.

BUT, here're the questions which I am pondering over (BECAUSE NONE OF THESE EVER HAPPENED TO ME....EVEN WHEN I WAS INSANELY BUSY) -

- DOES BEING BUSY CHANGE YOUR BASIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS YOUR LOVED ONES / FRIENDS ? DOES IT MAKE YOU CARE ANY LESS FOR THEM THAN BEFORE ?
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,
DOES IT MAKE YOU VALUE THEIR CARE FOR YOU ANY LESS THAN BEFORE ?

- DOES IT MAKE YOU SEE FRIENDS/LOVED ONES AS A BURDEN TO YOU...RATHER THAN A BOON ?

-THERE MAY A ZILLION THINGS RUNNING IN YOUR HEAD AND WORRYING YOU, BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING / SOMEONE (in the plural form - SOME THINGS / SOME PEOPLE ) WHO IS TRYING HIS LEVEL BEST AND GOING OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER, WON'T YOU FEEL LIKE DEVOTING AT LEAST 10-15 MINS OUT OF 1440 (IS THAT TOO HIGH A FRACTION TO ASK FOR?) TO HIM
................... TO MAKE YOURSELF AS WELL AS HIM FEEL BETTER (BECAUSE HE WILL FEEL HAPPY THAT HE MADE YOU FEEL BETTER) ?

- WHAT HE DOES MIGHT NOT ACTUALLY MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER,
BUT ...AT LEAST WON'T THE FACT THAT HE IS ACTUALLY PUTTING IN SO MUCH EFFORT ..TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER...COUNT ?? WON'T YOU FEEL LIKE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT ??

- OR IS THERE ANY THOUGHT WHICH COMES INTO YOUR MIND....LIKE ...
"AAAH...THAT JOBLESS IDIOTIC FOOL...HE BREAKS HIS HEAD TOO MUCH ON SUCH THINGS...WHAT CAN I DO? I CAN'T HELP IT...ITS HIS HEADACHE....LET HIM DO WHAT HE WANTS.... I DON'T CARE...I HAVE MY THINGS TO DO AND ATTEND TO...AND I HAVE TO DO THEM" ??

- WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT YOU GENUINELY CARED FOR YOUR SPECIAL THINGS / PERSONS? ACCORDING TO YOU, DO YOU STILL FEEL YOU CARE FOR THEM LIKE YOU USED TO BEFORE?

I am assuming that the busy people who read this....have, by now, wasted enough time ...and they've to get back to doing their work.....:) :)
BUT...if you can spare some time...to give me some answers to these questions, I would be really grateful to you..:)

God bless you all :)

To those of you who like to be busy - May God keep you busy through out next year as well :)
To those of you who like to no longer be busy - I pray that God reminds you to be a little more considerate to people's feelings :)...rather than being considerate just about work..:)

Ashwin.

KANAA KAANGIREN - latest addiction :)

Alright :) This is about another song..which I heard yesterday night..
and its grown on me completely :) and gripped me :) and not letting me go of it :)..

I've been listening insanely to this song over and over again..
It is AWESOME :)

Hats off to G V Prakash for creating a song like this! :)

Well..the song does have its own pitfalls....Without a look at the music credits, I would've easily thought that this song was by AR Rahman (because of the rhythms and percussions and choice of singers :) )....OR..Harris Jayaraj (because of the tune and chords :)...very very "Harris-h" :D )...
Also...he has done a very very very similar song ..called "alibaba thangam" in his earlier film "polladhavan"...this song is more or less like a continuation of that..:)

G V Prakash does seem to have derived a lot of inspiration from both the legends...It is not surprising...considering that he has worked quite a bit for both of them...

BUT...overlooking all this....we have a BRILLIANT song...more or less perfect ..in every sense :)

Feels great to listen to the voices of Shubha Mudgal and Nithyashree after ages :)

...Many people have been disagreeing with me till now...on this....But I still stand by my word :)...when I say Rukmini Vijaykumar looks and dances AWESOME :)...it is an absolute pleasure to watch the graceful beautiful lady all the way :)

Of course...I do agree if people say that the hero is a turn off :D....
But who cares...when we have Rukmini throughout :)


Njoi :)
Cheers :)
Ashwin..

SCREAMING,HOWLING,WHISTLING IN THE CINEMA THEATER......I MISS IT :( :( :(

I felt like writing this post when I saw these videos.

If I were in India, I would've SURELY seen this movie first day first show and howled and screamed, just like anyone else who is doing so...EXACTLY for these 3 videos :)

I am HUGE fan of Surya! I might've even danced ...for video no. 1 :D...
My loudest scream would've been for video no. 3.


I was not, am not and will never be a fan of watching movies in multiplexes.
I am never a silent person and just cannot stand silence. :)

Multiplexes are full of the so-called "multiplex crowd" which do not ever open their mouths, as if the multiplex is a hospital!
I might sound cheap here, but trust me, I seriously find it a waste to shell out around 100 - 150 Rupees (of course, these days its lesser I guess ) and watch a movie in absolute silence, when I can pay around 30 Rupees and watch the movie in a place where they consider it as a festival and people are in their highest spirits and cheer throughout the movie as if there's a cricket match or a college football game going on!

Back home, in Bangalore, I ALWAYS used to watch movies most of the time in Cauvery, Nataraj, Sampige, Urvashi theaters.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE PLACES I NOW MISS THE MOST !! :(
Those were places, in which, I used to scream and shout and howl at the top of my voice, usually when the following names appeared on the screen. (I SO SO SO miss all this now..I feel like crying :D..seriously! The only way I can cheer myself up is by watching these youtube videos which remind me of ALL THE GOOD TIMES back home :) )

2. I MISS SCREAMING "AANDAVAAAAAAA" when "Universal Hero Padmashree Kamal Hassan / Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Hassan" appears on screen . He's my all time favorite actor.
Just take a look at the following videos :) - this is what I SO long to do :)
AND FINALY THE BIG ONE, WHICH ALMOST MAKES ME CRY :) when I see this
I think this is the first thing I'll do, given a chance to come back to India any time :D Hehe!

3. "Music - A R Rahman"
4. "Music - Harris Jayaraj"

Then, for some songs like this I would've sang along, if not danced along :)

LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, I WOULD'VE GONE IN FRONT OF THE SCREEN AND DONE BOWS AND WITHDRAWS FOR THIS ONE :) - THE UNDISPUTED GREATEST INTRO OF ALL TIMES :D :D

HEHEHE! :D

Will post more of such videos when I find them!

Cheers,
Ashwin
