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.
