இணையத்தில் கிடைக்கும் "virtual"நட்புக்கள் குறித்து பலவித கருத்துக்கள் நிலவி வந்தாலும், நம் இணையவாசிகள் ஒவ்வொருவரின் வாழ்க்கையிலும் நிச்சயம் ஒரு "virtual" நண்பராவது வந்து நம் வாழ்க்கையை அசைத்துப்பார்த்திருப்பார்கள். Yahoo-வும், AOL, ICQ எல்லாம் தத்தமது புகழின் உச்சியிலிருந்த நேரத்தில் நான் அவற்றில்  எல்லாம் இருந்ததே இல்லை. ஆனால் எனது வலைப்பதிவுகளை தொடங்கிய பின்பு எனக்கு சில நண்பர்கள் கிடைத்தார்கள்.

I love travelling... infact I wish that I have my feet at every inch of land in the world. That is one reason when I get lost while travelling, I don't feel bad. Instead I feel that "had not this happened, I wouldn't have come to this street, village or road". Very few people understand that craziness. I am a happy traveller but I am most happy when I travel alone.

Noida Double Murder Case allegedly executed by Doctor couple Talwars of their daughter Aarushi Talwar and domestic help Hemraj is one of the most intresting 'whodunit' murder case India had ever witnessed. Ofcourse a case of this stature will "inspire" so many novels and movies but the legal stay obtained by Talwar's for any work of fiction based on their case had curbed that. Still 2 movies made it to screens based on this twin murder case - Rahasya (2014) and Talwar (2015).

Those who had followed my blogs can understand my craziness for Manju Warrier. I travelled all the way to Coimbatore to catch up with her comeback movie "How Old Are You?"after a hiatus of 14 years. I managed to catch up her next release "Ennum Eppozhum" earlier after the release. But I am disappointed that her third release "Rani Padmini" didn't get released in Coimbatore / Bangalore on 23rd October 2015. I went through the reviews which are mixed but still my determination to watch her movie didn't wean a bit. This song which was uploaded in YouTube is really melodious and soothing that this has been playing nonstop in my mobile and computer for past few days. Hope you also like this. Attached along with is the mp3 version of this song, for your listening pleasure.

I may not be the glamorous example of fat to fit, but I represent the 99% common people who feel that they are not looking good enough to fit into the kind of dresses they like. Many times I felt that I should give up my desires to fit in those fitting V-neck T-shirts, boot cut jeans because I felt that I don't have any control on my weight. For past couple of years I had been wearing 34" pants even though my waist was crossing 35" uncomfortably tight in the crotch area and myself trying to keep cool. I even thought of "ageing gracefully" by adding still more weight and shifting to Dhoti's, pyjamas bidding an adieu to my jeans, T-shirts with a sigh.

My niece Dhanya had recently acted in a short film of Girish Sreenivas (http://girishsj.wordpress.com), my brother-in-law Bala's friend. This 6 minute short film is about the importance of speaking one's mother tongue properly. I could see that all the culture conscious art works - Short films, stories are coming from the NRI diaspora only. We, back in India, are busy in aping the west, giving justifications to all the misbehaviours in the name of "modernisation", but I personally had seen the NRIs taking their language, art forms (dance, music and drawings) seriously.

36 வயதினிலே படத்தில் வந்த - நாலு கழுதை வயசானா எல்லாமே போச்சா.. நாப்பதுக்கு மேலே உன் வாழ்க்கை ஓடாத வாட்சா? "என்ற பாடல் எனக்குள் எப்போதும் ஓடிக்கொண்டிருக்கும். சமீபத்தில் ஒரு உளவியல் பதிவை படித்தபோது மிகவும் சுவாரசியமாக இருந்ததால் அதை குறித்து மேலும் பல பதிவுகளை தேடினேன். அதில் உங்கள் நடவடிக்கைகளில் கீழ்கண்டவை இருக்கிறதா என்று ஒரு 35 நடவடிக்கைகளை சொல்லியிருந்தார்கள். அவற்றில் சில எனக்கு பொருந்தியிருந்தது. வாழ்த்துக்கள்! நான் தற்போது நடுத்தர வயது குழப்பத்தில் (midlife crisis)இருக்கிறேன்.
