A Day I Cannot Forget

June 28, 2008.

The YGP Auditorium was half full and each member was looking forward to watching the play Swadeshi Iyer. It was around 18:57 when Rajnikanth (yes, Superstar!) walked in along with his wife. I didn't know how others reacted, but I had goose bumps all over.

Once the play ended, everyone surrounded the Superstar and he patiently shook hands with everyone. I was speechless. Only that afternoon, I had seen a movie of his, Naan Adimai Ilai. I wanted to tell him I liked it, but the name of the movie didn't strike me! All I could muster was "Naan Slave Ilai". Somehow the word "Adimai" went out of my system!

I shook hands with him. A very firm one at that. He interacted with the artists and was whisked away by his driver and another guy. I ran along with them wanting to talk to him. But as I said before, I was speechless.

Yes, I met Superstar. The man who rules Indian Cinema.

June 28, 2008. A day I can never forget.

Life was good without internet. When I got my connection back last night, I opened Mozilla and didn't know what to do. Just checked mails and disconnected. I have been browsing for half an hour today and there is some depression setting in. Have retorted to blogging hence.

There isn't much I have missed actually. Infact I indulged in a lot of outdoor activity and continue to do the same. Would probably surf for half an hour a day. Lets see.

Enthu

Why can't one have the enthusiasm that a child has?

Was totally bored staring at the book on the eve of my first exam and decided to do something interesting. Switched on the FM and decided I would listen to atleast one song completely. And it had to be a song I like. But as always, I was turned off by the monologue of RJs. So started juggling between channels and couldn't listen to most songs from the beginning. The few songs I listened from the beginning invariably ended up being songs I loathe. This happened for half an hour and finally Radio City played "Atthaiku Pirandavale" from Kizhakku Cheemayile.

Coming to think of it, I should have just listened to one channel. A channel that usually plays songs that I like. Aaha and Radio City probably. I have become dumb. Have my Operations Research paper on 24th. Hopefully, I prepare well and put the concepts into use in my day-to-day life. Such as this one.

For the First Time

since I got a mobile, three years and eight months back, I haven't recharged before the validity got over. It got over on sunday and I will recharge only after my exams end. Now I don't ask my friends about their preparation and don't send arbitrary sms es.

This move showed immediate results. I studied for an hour on monday. Yesterday was dull and today has been dull too. But I will be awake for four more hours today and hope I can cram something.

These exams will, in all probability, decide my future. Let me see how I perform.

Billa

Saw Billa today. Finally. Low expectations meant I wasn't unhappy for spending 35 bucks. I was even engrossed in the movie for a little while. Nayanthara was hot, and I was ogling whenever she was on the screen. The movie also ascertains the fact that Ajith sucks less than Vijay.

Reached Woodlands just in time, thanks to the traffic at Royapettah. Watching movies in theatres like Woodlands, Udhayam is certainly better than spending 100 bucks at Sathyam, where I only manage to shiver because of the very low temperature.

FM Woes

Turned on the FM in my phone after a long time. What happens? No channel played songs I like for more than half an hour. Out of frustration, I tuned into Radio City, which played some peter song. Certainly better than Deva's music.

Why do I think to think?
