43 things!
I got inspired from this nice link from Kiruba. 43 things
The site lists down some "want to do" things and some entries that caught my eye were
get a professional massage, fix my bike, understand myself, have my cat back, unpack all my boxes...
I tried listing down those 43 things that I would want to do in the next 5 years. And to say that I was amazed would be an understatement. It was astonishment to realize how many small things that I have been postponing week by week and those weeks turned into months and it goes on.
Would post soon those my 43 things. I am lazy to the core and I think my first entry in 43 things would be "kick lazyness". hereby tagging
You can also visit 43 places
P.S: Any idea what this 43 is about and what siginificance this carries?

The Madras Day!
And today is Madras Day. I read a number of interesting posts on the Madras Day. And here are my 2 cents.I have written this already but still writing again because I just love Chennai. Even with its crowd, noise, heat etc., Chennai is still my favourite. I was just thinking what has attracted me towards Chennai. And I am clueless. Apart from the fact that I was born Chennai I have lived in Chennai for a very short span of 3 years. And this photographs of Chennai reminds me of a completely different city. I just cant imagine Chennai the way they are in these pictures. Chennai seems so distant in these pictures.
I remember my mom telling me about Moore market shortly after it was destroyed by fire. Every time we used to cross that place she used to tell me that. All my childhood trips to Chennai were short termed for the holidays and still stays etched in my memories. I would get fascinated when I was a kid when we used to plan for a trip to Chennai to my aunts house. I still get the same thing when I am making a trip to Chennai.

And to add to my argument, Chennai is the least polluted city in India. Read here.
Update : Came across this excellent post by Vatsan. His post has much more details and more pictures of Chennai.

Kan ketta pinbu...
After a year, because of the double meaning dialogues and scenes, this film by Surya is being banned by the High court. I wonder whether Surya would be cautious in his forthcoming film "A Ah"

ATA atlast!
and thats ATA!This originated from Vatsan and Visithra has given a form to it.
Makkalae! Even if you think that you are safe and secure now its gonna catch you soooooon!
You better join our force and face it! This post will be updated with more details.
Update:
Its good that ATA is going places and I was able to read similar posts. Somu has posted one. Click here. Comon ladies, the comments all we get from your side is kind of "ok" "that happens" stuff. We need YOUR co-operation to stop this from spoiling our society. Its worser than you can imagine.
STOP watching all these serials.
This happens mostly when we have our grandpa, grandma at home and when your wife isnt working or returns home early. I have started thinking of finding out ways to bring them out of this serial world.
And the slogans and logos for ATA aren't yet finalised.

mayliragae....!
neethanae meyyezhuthu
naan podum kayezhuthu, anbe!"
With the above song in my ears and a cup of coffee, rains lashing outside, rahman's tabla soothes and I cant stop humming this song. It really amazes when I think about the extent to which Rahman is ready to experiment in his works. Particularly this song has different sounds and is a treat. The tabla just stirrs you and the thaalam takes you somewhere. The tabla is marched with excellent strings. It kept reminding me about "narumugaiye.." from iruvar though the sounds are completely different in both the songs. I feel S.Janaki would have been great in this song.
I wonder how Surya is going to picturise this melody. "Varaaga nathikaraiyoram" from Sangamam was an example for spoiling a great song with the visualization.
In his latest interview with Vikatan A R Rahman says that he thinks that he is born everyday and explains that is the essential thing that is needed by an artist. When I think about Rahman, I always remember our batting Maestro, Sachin Tendulkar. Even though its not fair to compare these two guys, I was just thinking about their similarities. Its their resemblance to lot of things that has kept them on the top, I guess. Both are soft spoken guys very humble, ready to shrink into their own world and answering with their work instead of words. Both have not forgotten the difficult ways they have come. Both pounce back with more power and quality when they get criticised. And they are still the best in their respective fields.
