raavanan

okay, this is the first time i have gone to an over-hyped movie with a stellar cast on the very first day. it was an awesome experience to go out there and shout till your throat was hoarse for chiyaan vikram, a slightly old yet beautiful looking ash,prithviraj,prabhu and even karthik. undoubtedly the loudest cheer went to ranjitha :P but what promised to be a nail biting racer soon began to lose pace and should i say story. vikram was the life and soul of the movie carrying it on his shoulders and all the characters did justice to their characters. the cinematography was just awesome and we didnt even want to drink a coke in fear of finding our bladders full what with the rain on the screen in every frame being so realistic. the hours just whizzed by though it sagged in the middle and kind of got predictable.
but sure, i can watch it for vikram any time and any more times too in the future.
am now waiting to watch raavan in sathyam. company anybody ??? :P

life as you call it.

life is strange.sometimes it gives you moments that take your life away and some that literally pain you to death, and the best part, you never know when life's going to deal you what card. the optimist finds it awesome while the pessimist dampening,whereas majority of people like yours truly,who swing somewhere in the middle and brand ourselves practical,find it a lot of things ranging from exasperating to confusing to doomed to what next. i remember reading in someone's orkut profile that said, everyone is born and everyone dies, it is what you do in between, that counts".the minute i read it i was like "what the fish", but pondering over it, i can understand how true that is. there is not one of us for whom everything has been the way we dreamt of,heck i cant even dream of just one thing all the time. everyone of us face disappointments,broken hearts,failures at home,job,college,school and where ever we get involved with. but the difference lies in getting up every single compared to remaining on the ground. sure we all die, but how many of us leave our foot prints in the sands of time? no, am not talking about doing something big, am talking about making a difference to at-least one person in this world for the better. that makes life all the more worthy. i may goof up in a lot of things, and yes i would certainly feel like a failure, i might want to give up, but i know i will keep going on till i do something. people today decide your success by only certain parameters - job,money, education, eye candy life partner. is it really all that there is to life?
comments are welcome :)
till then... peace !!!
