The Goal Machine

BBC SPORT | Football | Photo Galleries | Champions League photos

Peter Crouch is one player who has enjoyed limelight in recent times, with his unique stature and his mercurial goal scoring abilities.. no wonder he is england’s new “Goal Machine”. On his worldcup debut he performed notably and his current goal spree after the WC is awesome.. he has scored in almost all the games he played for england and liverpool. His strike rate is too good for a person who started things in the big league offlate. In just 14 international appearances he has netted 11 goals already and the 6 f 7i striker is growing in stature.. Good luck Peter.

Steve Irwin 1962 – 2006

Steve Irwin 1962 – 2006, He has entertained the world with his brave adventures with some of the most dangerous reptiles on earth. Animal planet fame “Crocodile Hunter” is no longer alive but will be remembered for his brave doc-films on crocodiles. A freak accident indeed doesent justify the bravery of this guy, who was hit by a sting ray (usually a calm creature) while shooting a film under water. Rest in peace Steve ~

Lage Raho Munna Bhai

Gandhiji on a 100 rupee note on Flickr – Photo Sharing!

What a way to start the day, write a review on one of the most hilarious yet thought provoking movie in recent memory. Yesterday I went for the movie “Lage raho munna bhai” in innovative multiplex. I had read a few reviews on it and was expecting good things as all the reviews were positive. It is a name sake sequel to the erstwhile Munna bhai MBBS, but almost half the elements in the prequel are changed to give our beloved “Bhai” a fresh start again. This movie is primarily made for people to get to know what Gandhi had preached and followed. Though this topic might seem to be a documentary material, the screenplay does blend so much casual and contemporary scenes with the core gandhian principles that at the end of the day you wouldn’t feel that you have watched a heavy movie on gandhi.

Live Robbery…

Last week two of my roomies was about to go to the street end shop for a coffee at 8.00PM or so, It was raining at that time.. and the incident that followed was really unreal.. it seems a girl was returning from office on our road and two men on a bike came in from nowhere, snatched her back and rushed off from there.. my friends were so shocked and they told the girl was in a state where she didn’t know what to do.. my friends took the bike and tried to find the culprit, but it was actually an impossible task.. it seems the two men had followed here from the ATM before that… these kind of petty crimes are very common nowadays in bangalore.. and ppl need to be watchful, esp girls please take care esp when you go to an ATM.

Back in bangalore..

After a short stint in hyderabad I returned back to bangalore this July and I don’t find any difference in the lifestyle to what it used to be.. But I should admit its better than before because of the proper work life balance in my new workplace, and i needn’t travel much as its very near to our house… well this time im seriously into dieting and i’ve been telling a strong NO to all deep fried and oil soaked snacks which used to be my best friends… the street end shop is reported to have reduced production of bhajji’s ever since i stopped eating there

Whatever said, bangalore is actually a nice place to live.. defenitely not better than my hometown pondicherry but still it has all elements to fill ur tanks so far so good here.. only thing i miss about hyderabad and feel nostalgic is the Hyderabadi biriyani )

What the..

this time i just sat to write something i don’t want to write.. state of software engineers. How mean and monotonus is a life of s/w engineer.. although ppl love to be one, i started hating it. Being from a normal middle class family i have no other choice but to earn as soon as possible to support my family.. In one way i’m doing the best and right thing my parents wanted.. but when I think of what im doing I really get irritated about this slavery of mind. Life before job was not the same.. there are striking differences ..to name a few,

# I used to get up fresh everyday with new expectations, but now all that I feel when i get up is “How am I going to see this day off… “

# I had a lot of time for friends and family.. Now my dad calls me and says “Call us often atleast to tell u are fine’.. this makes me feel low that how can i forget to call them.

# I had lot of unique qualities in myself..like short temper, spontaneousness, forthright views, etc.. All I’m now is a dull doll which dances with the work env.

# I was a lot more creative and innovative in whatever i do.. Now i’m curbed of my creativity and I think like a machine just in the perspective of the so called business and customer

# I never wanted to sleep early.. somethin like.. in college I never wanted the day to end.. Now as soon as I open my room door, bang i throw myself to the bed and u can hear me snor in next few mins..

# I had lot of time for movies and sports, I even used to write reviews in communities(Orkut).. The last tamil movie I saw in a hall was almost 4to5 months back…

# I used to enqeue songs acc to my taste and mood and used to enjoy the lyrics and music..Now all I do is enq some song for the sake of putting on my headphone and hear the same song all day (actually not hearing)…

# I used to enjoy food.. eat different dishes in a week.. Now even im given same thing everyday, i hardly bother, eating just for the sake of doing so…

so i do everything now.. for the SAKE OF DOING SO..

will continue this when i have time and when ppl are not around

Shifted to WordPress for blogging!

I started off with blogger, moved to opera and landed here.. uncertainty is my primary trait and i am never clear about what is exactly right. So lemme see if i like this one atleast. I wish this has direct blog support from Flock browser and from flickr which was the ideal thing i was looking for. I will be using this mainly for writing about my short trips and outings and share the snaps taken during the trip.
