Yahoo...Holland in S/F of Euro..Really god news for me...i've always liked their soccer and they were under-achievers of some sort for sure, though not as much as Spain..
Looks like Czech republic is playing with a vengeance..Lets c..it has to be either Holland or Czech Rep. i guess..Very sad tht am not able to watch any of the matches..Newsya, hv got DVD's of matches from a friend..Esp waitingf to watvh Sweden-Denmark match..Lets c if the fairness of the game was really lost, as the Azzuris so proclaim.!
Among other things, swam for a long time y'day..around 1.5 hrs..Got really drousy..Swimming is seriously refreshing .esp'ly underwater..
Got a DVD of superstar's movies..Mannan, Rajathi Raja and Uzhaipali. Superstar was my favorite at 1 point of time but then switched to Kamal after Heyram i think..

This interview was nice...
Kamal never, never ceases to be refreshing in whatever he does..Read the first part also using the link in it..The confidence that he exudes is wrongly interpreted as arrogance by many .. When a man has stuff, he can afford to have tht brash confidence..Whereas i would get pissed if Shahrukh or any other actor were to sound in the same way...Kamal is eons ahead of all these ppl seriously..I remember once an interview in which kamal's asked " Do u think, with ur versatility and talent, u'd have been better off born in USA and working in hollywood" ..To whcih pat comes the reply "Why do u always consider Hollywood to be the reference".. Whcih more than sums up whtever can bve answered for tht question..And in another, he's asked abt the fact that politician Krishnaswamy(who caused problems with sandiyar a.k.a Virumaandi) and tht he'd told tht kamal's movie idea was pathetic, Kamal subtly and aptly replied -"Krishnaswamy knows as much about movies as I know about Politics"..Gosh..Can a reply get better than that..

Y'day was horrible w.r.t transportation..Utterly forgettable..Missed my regular morning bus..i mean, the drivers here look for certain movement in the passsengers at stops if they r to stop..Otherwise, if they dont see any passengers moving or making an attempt to move to board the bus even as it is only approaching the stop, they simply Dont stop..As simple as that! Tuf luck for me..i wanted to act like one of those cool dudes out there who stays calm until the bus stops and then moves only when the door opens..Atleast thts what i used to do back in Tennessee..Y'day was different though..also dint hv any of those normal passengers who board the bus with me, strangely !Normally, they move abt as the bus is approaching...Anyways, got 3 connecting buses and reached office at 10, 2.5 hrs of bus travel...Could've travelled from Knoxville to Nashville in that time!
Again in teh evening, missed the bus..got caught in some conversation with boss here and time was flying..Boss dropped me though, some 40 miles..nice of him..nice boss..

Then, saw Batcha today "Ulaga tholaikatchigalil pathaavadhu muraiyaaga Sun TV yil "paarthen.. Superstar was super.
Okay, cya then..

Was in Hibernation... Too much stress, too much work, hence no time...wish i could say all this ..Just that I lost my appetite a bit and wanted to reload and reboot this blog afresh!
Quite a bit happened..My pop had come down and we'd been to the city of Sin 'Vegas' ..T'was fun..could've been real fun with friends. Pop was here in LA for just 2 days..made me a bit homesick for sure..Vegas was breathtaking..esp the strip..gosh..hv never seen so many lights and so many shows..Andre Agassi the showman of tennis..hez from Vegas..! Each hotel there has its own conceptual stuff..we were in Sahara while there was Mirage(which I liked most), then there was Treasure IsLAND, Riviera et al...Just too many to pen..
Gambled and gambled zealously, sincerely thinking i was not going to b a loser unlike others..was too good to b true whne i made a quick buck eventually squandering everything n more..In the heat of the moment, even the most conservative person would think twice abt not letting his money go(after hes made some)
Had been to Ayudha Ezuthu when it was released in LA..I liked the movie though it was anythign but Manirathnam style movie..More like a Shankar movie..and i like shankar's movie a lot..hence, this appealed to me..esp Surya i think was awesome..he must b having a cult folowing with the new generation of youngsters i gez as he realy looks realistic and likeable..Maddy was bad..twas not a great sight , he dint know how to speak in chaste Kuppam tamizh..some1 else would've done better, maybe even ajith!! Maddy is a real god actor thouhg( as was seen amply in Anbe Sivam) but he needs rite roles.I 've started liking sidarth and also liked trisha...she did well, i thot..overall a movie i enjoyed and even made me think what am doing here in US when i could've done so mcuh in india..(ofcourse, all that a Rushof Blood when watching)..Surya rejects a scholarship in a US univ .. Only surya in the current crop could underplay in such scenes i think.others would've dramatized the whole stuff.
Then, among otehr things, Lakers let me down suddenly..Hv become so used to last minte and even last second miracles tht many ppl incl me thot the series would come to LA for game 6..Very poor play by Kobe..hes the guy i used to like most but his play stunk..I felt really really sorry for Shaq , atleast who made an effort in game 4 with 30+ pt and 20 rebounds..Kobe,Shaq and derek fisher r critical to Lakers..they r the ppl who really matter now..I dont wanna see the day when Deavan george is hte lakers #1 player..mite happen soon..here,anythign can happen..
Internship going on anything but ok wht with my programming skills(or the lack of it) tested to the limit..Lets c.Seriusly htinking of getting alaptop..I dunno y i think i'll b better off with one..Lets c.
