As a result most of us chennaites saw the post-match shows on news channels and there was no live radio commentary either, we missed the Pak bowl-out, Sa chocking, Eng and Aus demolition by Yuvraj, and somehow India and Pak both qualified to the finals, and everything came to a stand-still, the match was scheduled to start at 6 in the evening i guess, and almost everybody from our tuition bunked that day, i went to my friends house in east C.I.T nagar, he had a set-top box, so i knew i wouldn't miss the match. But later i heard the final match was aired on cable also. When people say India is a cricket-crazed country, i doubted it, i myself have met many who weren't really "crazy" about cricket, but my tuition served as the best example, that day on the final, only 5 or 6 turned up, and the class strength was nearly 65, and our tuition sir invited those 5 or 6 downstairs to his house to watch the match with his family and from then i never doubted our "craziness". Come Wednesday, exceptions are going to be made, there will be massive bunking of schools, colleges and offices and no one will question them cos they already know it's because of the match, some clever IT companies are going to stop working after 2 and they are going to air the final match in their own offices, that way at least only half a day will be wasted, i have college till 12 I'll return home in time for the toss, for this is not just a match it's a PHENOMENON.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; PS: This is just purely my view, there is a debate going on tv about diplomacy and sh*t, f**k you people!, i don't understand you people, this is a cricket match, not your stupid politics, it will be treated as war between the two nations, we average indian-cricket fans always had this notion and will have continue to have it this way, it's absolutely a war now after what afridi has &lt;a href="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-03-25/news/29187895_1_flamboyant-all-rounder-shahid-afridi-players"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;, so just shut up, no peace or diplomacy and anything will come out of this match, if possible enjoy the cricket else just f**k-off!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-5517035519624277437?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5517035519624277437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2011/03/phenomenon.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/5517035519624277437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/5517035519624277437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2011/03/phenomenon.html' title='The Phenomenon Ind VS Pak'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P0tX7qvrOCI/TZFp-U1YpsI/AAAAAAAAANc/KNclluSQxHo/s72-c/miandad-world-cup-1992-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-4885892759239618823</id><published>2011-03-26T23:07:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2011-03-26T23:07:48.479+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cricket'/><title type='text'>The Worldcup so far</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What a cup it has been so far, it started with controversies that this format is designed in such a way to protect the asian teams, but it did actually protect England too, they would have been first round exits if it was the older format for their loss against Ireland. Spraking of minnows, man, kevin o'brein, doeschate, surkari, tikolo etc can't forget those guys, sadly they might not be in the next wc, but kob's century left an impression, the ICC might rethink it, wc over the years was always about the minnows, remember Dwayne Leverock the fat guy from Bermuda who took that catch at first slip, the world trembled that day, wc is about these moments and it's really sad they are not going be in the next tournament.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Now, the quarters are over and only 3 matches to go in the tournie, England just got *itch-slapped by the Lankans, Safa's chocked and the word is that the safa-choke is the biggest after deep-throat (laugh if you understood that, if you didn't, just ignore), Wi as usual didn't care much, Aussies we won against them, always love a Ind vs Aus match, got to respect Lee and Ponting for the heart they had, to give a fight like that, they are true champions, even ponting, the ahole he is, is a tremendous cricketer, will miss the ferocity of an Aussie match without them.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The Lankans, they beat a non-asian team and that too England and on their own&amp;nbsp;home-turf so they had a relatively easy qf, Nz played well but the&amp;nbsp;chocker chocked and every one joked about them, Pak's the most erratic cricket team the world has&amp;nbsp;ever seen and they beat Wi which is also relatively easy, India had the toughest match of the qf, yuvi was great throughout the cup, and hopefully for the rest of it also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7kEe-Zg7GX4/TY4jNq6QVPI/AAAAAAAAANY/7KhKm2L0FNk/s1600/Ind-vs-Pak.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="328" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7kEe-Zg7GX4/TY4jNq6QVPI/AAAAAAAAANY/7KhKm2L0FNk/s400/Ind-vs-Pak.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This leaves us with Sl vs Nz and Ind Vs Pak sf's, i don't care about the first sf, thats will most probably be one-sided Sl victory, IND vs PAK that's the dream, that's called&amp;nbsp;rivalry, the ashes can suck it's own ash compared to this, the ashes is complete mismatch England almost never won until the recent years and it has a following, but this was never like that, both teams fought a battle, only with bat and ball, i not going to hype it anymore than it's already hyped, and hyped as it deserves to be, I predict a Ind vs Sl final.

Second half, Sa batted brilliantly, we bowled and we&amp;nbsp;fielded bad, Zaheer came, changed things on its head, we were in a winning&amp;nbsp;position, 49th over bowled by zaheer, superb over only 5 runs in that i guess, last over 13 required, robin peterson and faf du plessis batting, we had bhajji, nehra, y pathan, yuvraj, to bowl the last over, we still remember the 5 sixes of yuvi's last over in england, pathan inexperienced, nehra fucked up the last over many times in the past(he's good bowler, just the death overs), the obvious choice was bhajji, dude's experienced also, yet that asshole of a captain gives the ball to the delhiwala, i can't blame nehra here at all, not that i hate dhoni i am blaming him now, just that logic was no there.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Lets consider this situation last over of the '07 wc (t20 championship), last over given to joginder fuckin sharma, just think, if that over had failed and Pak won that match, where would have our "captain cool" been today, that over was a obvious bad choice, but luck&amp;nbsp;favored him and i for one&amp;nbsp;believe that matches have to be won by skill rather than luck.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Hindsight is always 20-20, last match against WI, we made 268, lesser than we would have scored, i personally felt raina should have come in earlier where dhoni came and to the last both the beasts y pathan and dhoni, would have been perfect, but let's face it, we batted really bad and that too without roach, second half, this is where the problem was, Wi didn't have gayle, chanderpaul, and yet they almost chased us, ashwin and zaheer the only 2 proper bowlers we have in this&amp;nbsp;tournament, ashwin was wasted in first 15 overs itself, and zaheer was not given the ball after his first 2 overs, and we bowled all part-timers from 6th over onwards, i didn't understand it, i thought fast bowlers get the new ball and the&amp;nbsp;spinners get the used one, but it was the reverse, and that too using part-timers not even yuvraj, it was raina and pathan for most of the time, dhoni was waiting for reverse swing i guess, as if we have a wasim akram, waqar younis, abdul razzaq kind of bowling attack all we have in the fast bowling is zaheer, the only&amp;nbsp;Indian who could reverse at present, all we should have done is bowled bowlers not the part-timers at&amp;nbsp;fielded properly, if this kind of tactics persists in the match against the aussies, i am sure we're losing it, and i'll blame dhoni and solely dhoni only for that.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; But something inside me says that, we're going to win that match, this world cup is all about Sachin, and we still have Shewag, Gambir, Yuvraj, Kholi, Ashwin, Zaheer, we have a team that can win, things are all not falling in place, it's just like a puzzle and when the day comes i hope we find all the pieces in it's proper place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-414537722899438453?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/414537722899438453/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2011/03/wc-11.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/414537722899438453'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/414537722899438453'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2011/03/wc-11.html' title='The Wc &apos;11'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-1528475883379768576</id><published>2011-03-06T11:10:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2011-03-06T11:41:15.518+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Silly stuff'/><title type='text'>Gallantry, wizardry, whatevery</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Last year in the month of feb, i posted about 11 posts and this year none, there was world cup, sehwag's brilliant 175, the nerve-cracking tie with england, one or two good movies to write about but my computer broke down. The SMPS of my computer burned out owing to a stupid 9 year old UPS which shuts itself down during a power failure than doing the opposite. It took 450 bucks and a week buy a new SMPS and as soon as i bought one and fixed it, i&amp;nbsp;realized&amp;nbsp;that there was something else, no power to the motherboard! after trying some stupid things like removing the RAM and rubbing it with an eraser and inserting it back and speculating the mother-board might be gone for 2 days, i realized that the power cable was the problem(with some help over the phone), replaced with another cable and bam, power supply to the board but moments later my joy came crashing down as i find that i've&amp;nbsp;successfully managed to make the "on" switch on the cpu to malfunction by repeatedly hitting it while it was not working, i somehow learnt some basic ece and with help learnt how to short the pins on the board and make current pass through the board and thus make the computer work.

&amp;nbsp; I don't get it why some people hate Suresh Raina, and i mean a certain section of cricket fans in general (is that an oxymoron?), so i thought of writing a small post on the pros and cons of this guy, first of all i like Suresh Raina, not like i am a fan of him but just like him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Suresh Raina bats like sh*t on bouncy tracks, this is quite true, we saw how he batted in SA recently and even otherwise he has a reputation for playing like sh*t on leave bouncy tracks but short-pitched deliveries also,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What the f*ck did he do to deserve a place in the 11 for the first 30 odi matches he played?, as far i can remember he hit some match saving 70 odd runs in one of his first 5 matches and he went on for nearly 25 matches without scoring any useful runs,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Look at his technique! it resembles Dhoni's&amp;nbsp;Neanderthal style in some shots, especially the big pull shots where he gives the spectators a free view of his abdominal area, yeah his batting looks sick and thats the most logical reason why he cant play the short ball properly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&amp;nbsp; Basically i&amp;nbsp;perceive him as a good T20 and ODI player, but downright unfit for tests, he did score a century on debut but that was in SL, dusty flat tracks even Dhoni can hit a triple there, fielding he has always been great, bowling , i don't get it how he is even allowed to bowl, but it always seems to work, captaincy and sh*t like leadership skills i have no idea, overall watch out for him the WC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp; Sources close to the project of 3 rascals inform that, Dr.shankar (director of endhiran, both got their honorary doctrate from the same university,same time, for the same money) had asked actor Dr.vijay to wipe off that ape like look off his face and get his hair properly done, to which Dr.vijay&amp;nbsp;apparently replied "I am what i am!, how do you expect me to behave like a human, i have never done that before!!", which angered the director who didn't take caution in selecting the proper star-cast for his remake, Dr.vijay apparently further stated that he is acting in a remake of a &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Mpl5OdlM4sw/THHzcoFJesI/AAAAAAAABdw/15YaQ2m9CVw/s1600/assassins-creed-velayutham-vijay1.jpg"&gt;PC game&lt;/a&gt; and he couldn't change his ape-look since the continuity of that movie would be shot in the head, and sources also indicate that Jeyam.Raja who is venturing into remakes of PC games after a flurry of telugu remakes, had said that he was&amp;nbsp;fascinated&amp;nbsp;by the look which Dr.vijay has donned for about a decade now, "man!! , he is very much like me, we both copy telugu movies!!, i suggested his new&lt;a href="http://www.vijayfansclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/vijay-kavalan-stills-02-600x398.jpg"&gt; hair-style&lt;/a&gt;"&amp;nbsp;raja quipped.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In related news when sources contacted Aamir khan and&amp;nbsp;inquired how he feels about Dr.vijay playing the role of Rancho, he reportedly gave &lt;a href="http://indiequill.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/ghajini.jpg?w=468&amp;amp;h=359"&gt;this stare&lt;/a&gt; at our source which said it all, the same source&amp;nbsp;traveled&amp;nbsp;south to the state of Andhra Pradesh and asked Mahesh Babu how he fells to work with the "next super-star" of tamil cinema in 3 Rascals to which he instantly gave &lt;a href="http://img.youtube.com/vi/m3F7VcrYSh0/0.jpg"&gt;this look&lt;/a&gt;, and Allu Arjun who was nearby gave &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YrWKRE6ftM/SUnSAWtyijI/AAAAAAAAADs/XMDuqp6W9LI/s400/alluarjun_small_873496956.jpg"&gt;this look&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; As the ouster of Dr.vijay is not yet confirmed but the news has been largely welcomed by normal citizens who now can be sure that they need not see one of the greatest movie ever made in a destroyed form. An angry citizen said "I'd prefer watching &lt;a href="http://icdn1.indiaglitz.com/tamil/gallery/Movies/yaarukkuyaar/main.jpg"&gt;Sam Anderson's&lt;/a&gt; stepnee movie instead of watching that f***face destroying one of my fav movie", but rumors are still rumors people have to wait see.!!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-6892133582909992390?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/6892133582909992390/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/12/drvijay-out-of-3-rascals.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/6892133582909992390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/6892133582909992390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/12/drvijay-out-of-3-rascals.html' title='Dr.Vijay out of 3 rascals'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-4332535795603193792</id><published>2010-11-19T17:45:00.006+05:30</published><updated>2010-11-24T15:55:20.134+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movies'/><title type='text'>Inception</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The number of movies i watch per month is nearly exorbitant, and sometimes many great movies, don't impress me, but those i like, just refuse to get out of my memory, diwali was 15 days ago when i watched nearly 8 movies in a 2 and a half days time, i wanted to watch as many movies as possible cos my exams were starting i wanted to study.(lmao)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Many movies are great but only few stuck to my thoughts, like fight club, v for vendetta, city of god etc, Inception is the newest one on the list, it just blew me away, Nolan is a superb director and i've seen mememto, the prestige, insomania, following etc and Di caprio, he is like god to me, so the expectation from me was extremely high, and boy did they deliver!.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The movie starts inside a dream, first 20 minutes i was going crazy cos i&amp;nbsp;couldn't understand the plot, but as i started to comprehend&amp;nbsp;it was&amp;nbsp;extremely good, the real USP of this movie is the climax, i was almost gasping for breath at the end of the movie, never seen a better ending in a movie.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; As expected Di caprio was excellent playing the role of cobb, an extractor of dreams, Di caprio has some kind of ability to bring out the best for any role, Nolan is an&amp;nbsp;unbelievable director, i think his last 5 movie are in the list of &amp;nbsp;250 best movies list on imdb,&amp;nbsp;the only drawback is that you have to focus to understand this movie, that ain't a drawback but i think the effect of the ongoing exams is showing up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bottomline&lt;/b&gt;: Just watch this movie, you'll be blown away as i was. 9.5/10.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-4332535795603193792?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/4332535795603193792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/11/inception.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/4332535795603193792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/4332535795603193792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/11/inception.html' title='Inception'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOZl1xYm7rI/AAAAAAAAAL4/sNTvxiQhfnU/s72-c/inception.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-80479218349279427</id><published>2010-11-18T17:05:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2010-11-18T17:05:24.094+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atheism'/><title type='text'>Why am I an Atheist?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&amp;nbsp; I am a kind of person who wants logic in everything, when i watch a movie, i want that movie to be perfect without any factual errors, once i find a small mistake in the plot, which i always do, i lose interest in the whole movie, i think this aspect of me&amp;nbsp;explains the most about a person who i am. According to me, all the religions are just a fairytale, there is no logic in any religion and moreover all the religions are based in the geographical regions they are most prevalent today, christianity&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;Europe&amp;nbsp;and America, islam in the middle east, hindhusim in Indian sub-continent, etc, the point is that, all religions have the common&amp;nbsp;belief&amp;nbsp;that "god" is creator of the universe and etc,etc then why is that religion famous only in that specific region ?, "god" had the power to create the universe, but he hadn't enough power to spread his "truth" to all parts of the same universe?, that sounds real silly!!, and people defend this by saying other religions are the work of the devil !!!! but that's of course is the worst-case scenario, to me people "talking-in-tongues" or&amp;nbsp;getting "revelations" from god is a mental disorder called "schizophrenia", "holy"-books are the work of a great fiction writer who has some knowledge about his surroundings, miracles are&amp;nbsp;co-incidents&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;superstitions&amp;nbsp;are shit.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Many religious people think that advancement in technology ruined the god in people, tv, internet,education and even metal music ruined the spiritual-side of a person, according to most of them religion makes a man self-disciplined, good natured and etc...... that's really funny!, i once saw a quote somewhere which went something like this "how good is a deed done in the fear of god rather than self belief ?", in fact i feel&amp;nbsp;atheists&amp;nbsp;are more disciplined, cos if you do some thing wrong, a religious guy makes a confession or drops some money in the hundi and&amp;nbsp;surprise!&amp;nbsp;surprise!! all yours sins have been washed away!, but for an atheist his&amp;nbsp;conscious will kill him.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Many people turn into atheists, due to various reasons, death of a person, huge financial losses, internet or reading books of various atheists etc, but not me, i didn't turn into an atheist. Even &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periyar_E._V._Ramasamy"&gt;Periyar&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;was a theist until a certain incident of insult happened to him, but not me, i never learned it from anyone, i was an atheist as early as 10 years of age.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Religion is&amp;nbsp;basically&amp;nbsp;a waste of money, time and mental peace, trying to find things for yourself rather than blindly&amp;nbsp;believing in someone can give a lot of peace, for once, Mahatma Gandhi said "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence&lt;/b&gt;", he said to his&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;followers&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;that to be a non-&lt;/span&gt;violent person he/she needn't be a gandhi follower but the essence of non-violence must be in your hearts, he wanted his people to challenge conventions rather that meekly accepting the&amp;nbsp;British raj&amp;nbsp;,&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;all i want to say is the same thing just challenge everything and discover rather than believing in fairy tales told to you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-80479218349279427?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/80479218349279427/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-am-i-atheist.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/80479218349279427'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/80479218349279427'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-am-i-atheist.html' title='Why am I an Atheist?'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOUO6oLxAVI/AAAAAAAAALU/4s34PfW9ZXo/s72-c/atheism8x6.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-366864439567905318</id><published>2010-10-17T22:30:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2010-10-17T22:30:37.545+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Silly stuff'/><title type='text'>Endhiran - My opinion.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TLseq4isTyI/AAAAAAAAALM/9BN4o75BEdY/s1600/endhiran-stills-0012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="308" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TLseq4isTyI/AAAAAAAAALM/9BN4o75BEdY/s400/endhiran-stills-0012.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I always say this and i'll repeat it, i am not&amp;nbsp;writing a review, this is my opinion&amp;nbsp;and it can differ from yours.&lt;br /&gt;OK&amp;nbsp;i don't like director Shankar, i started hating Rajni in the recent past for he still shamelessly acts as hero, so obviously my opinion on this movie was never good, i went to this movie on the 5th day from it's&amp;nbsp;release just to find out if it really stood up to the hungama created by the media.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; And bang-'off' target this movie was one of the worst&amp;nbsp;I've&amp;nbsp;ever seen, the hype was enough around this movie, people expected this movie to take Tamil cinema to a global level and this movie isn't even a proper sci-fi type, very bad graphics, i don't know how they spent so many crores and still gave such bad special-effects, absolutely idiotic. This movie never had logic and most of all the robot's had Rajni's face, whoa that was&amp;nbsp;ridicules, these days youngsters can't bear one Rajni and they gave hundreds of them. Rajni clearly looked very old, close-up shots of rajni's face were unbearable especially his lips were so bad.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; But you got to give some credit to Rajni, his performance in the 2nd half as the "bad robot" was really good, the "black-sheep" scene and few other scenes were really great, as far as Shankar is concerned i don't know cos there are enough hollywood movies with similar concept while "I,Robot", "Bicentennial Man"&amp;nbsp;are the closest but Shankar 'says' he created this story long before those hollywood movies actually&amp;nbsp;released, so i really don't know if he be praised for his efforts.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This movie was really bad in the fight sequences and the famous "mosquito mode" scene, c'mon Shankar that was worser than all vijay's movies put&amp;nbsp;together. I didn't like the music either, i liked only arima arima because of the video and the bgm was excellent, especially the music when the titles were rolling. So&amp;nbsp;bottomless it's an average south-indian movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TLsqMTRfD7I/AAAAAAAAALQ/ygWLNuxbRNM/s1600/robo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TLsqMTRfD7I/AAAAAAAAALQ/ygWLNuxbRNM/s400/robo.JPG" width="303" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Ultimate Bottomline.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-366864439567905318?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/366864439567905318/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/10/endhiran-my-opinion.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/366864439567905318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/366864439567905318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/10/endhiran-my-opinion.html' title='Endhiran - My opinion.'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TLseq4isTyI/AAAAAAAAALM/9BN4o75BEdY/s72-c/endhiran-stills-0012.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-8135441763057882105</id><published>2010-09-10T17:12:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2010-09-10T17:13:59.173+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cricket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chennai Super Kings'/><title type='text'>CSK again</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TIoYrt2nbMI/AAAAAAAAALI/BqT-ycpot6A/s1600/airtel-champions-league-2010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TIoYrt2nbMI/AAAAAAAAALI/BqT-ycpot6A/s400/airtel-champions-league-2010.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Last time just before the IPL, i wrote a completely crazy &lt;a href="http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/03/chennai-super-kings.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt;, and what happened? we won the cup, so i am going follow that 'tradition' of hyping the team before the tournament actually starts.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We still have a captain who don't know to bat outside the sub-continent, but hey we have Hayden who's batting suits the bouncy South African pitches, evidently he did extremely well in the second season of IPL held there and very badly in IPL 3 held here, Raina's been good Kemp and Albie are playing in their home conditions, Badri can give us the needed stability and we have Mr.Cricket Hussey too, Vijay is a problem(maybe some numerology might help, he's got a bad name) so is Dhoni, bowlers! this is something we did not have in IPL 1 and 2, but this time we have that edge, the good bowling line-up one of the best in cl-2 i would say, R.Ashwin came from nowhere to become most economical and wicket-taking bowler in the second half of IPL 3 and since then bowling problems have gone down, Murali is the&amp;nbsp;maestro, jakati can really help&amp;nbsp;and Bollinger another plus gives good pace, other pacers are BAD(i mean balaji,goni,joginder sharma, tyagi) i hope that they don't even get to play one match, part timers like albie and kemp can handle it, fielding's always been good except for 2 absolute AS****** named balaji and Goni, the team and everything around is in real good shape unlike the last time when CSK found it's&amp;nbsp;rhythm only in the second half and we fans had no real hope, so just go on rock SA guys we are supporting you, i think no need to hype as we are sure of the victory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CSK &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;FOR &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"&gt;LIFE&lt;/span&gt;..&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-8135441763057882105?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/8135441763057882105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/09/csk-again.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/8135441763057882105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/8135441763057882105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/09/csk-again.html' title='CSK again'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TIoYrt2nbMI/AAAAAAAAALI/BqT-ycpot6A/s72-c/airtel-champions-league-2010.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-3164745269233665127</id><published>2010-08-22T15:20:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2010-08-22T15:20:37.874+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cricket'/><title type='text'>Anil Kumble: The true legend.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/THDk7RNZJwI/AAAAAAAAAK8/9QzrCLMOCSA/s1600/anil_kumble.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="297" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/THDk7RNZJwI/AAAAAAAAAK8/9QzrCLMOCSA/s400/anil_kumble.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Ultimate reason why one can be his fan.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;When I was a kid, without much knowledge of cricket, when someone asked who is your favorite cricketer i would say 3 names, sachin, kumble, ajay jadeja, i have no idea why, but i would, as i grew ajay jadeja faded away with some match-fixing&amp;nbsp;scandals, everyone knows Sachin is the god but kumble remained underrated, if anyone asks me today who are role models in life i am sure i'll mention the humble Sachin and the gentleman Kumble among the few others.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Kumble is a legend, he is the perfect example for determination and controlled aggression(which many lack these days aka sreeshanth, yuvi, etc). Kumble's attitude is the ultimate i feel, and that attitude can win many hearts like mine, for me cricket is not just a game, it's a teacher of many life qualities and lessons and one can learn many from Kumble's games. Determination, whenever i hear this word, the first name that comes to my mind is "Anil Kumble", anybody else with such a bowling action as his wouldn't have lasted for more than a series or two, but kumble survived for 132 tests and took 619 wickets highest by any Indian and also considered as one of the best modern day spinners, his action gave him no spin but bounce and pace, what made him unique was the aggression with which he bowled, those expressions of anger after taking a wicket, the pleading to bowl one more over again and again even after being thrashed by the bowler, he was titanium-strong mentally, he had a hunger for competition like no other. It was like if he was bowling he was giving more than a 100 percent every time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I did not see the famous 2002 India vs West Indies match where he played on with a broken jaw and took Brain Lara's wicket, but i've heard a lot about that match and seen a few videos, but that alone doesn't show his greatness, many other minor incidents were the reason for me liking him so much, he was a perfect gentleman, he had no&amp;nbsp;controversy ever until the &lt;a href="http://www.cricinfo.com/ausvind/content/story/329037.html"&gt;sydney '08&lt;/a&gt; incident&amp;nbsp;occurred, he was extremely aggressive on the field and off it he was gentleman, the ultimate qualities of a legend.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This is surely not a review, but my opinion, i saw this move some 2 weeks back and it was released a month a half back and since i can't it out of my mind. I am like an addict to watching movies, i see 4 to 5 movies per week(of course on my computer), and sometimes even movies in languages i don't understand(english sub's) and they are generally very highly rated on imdb, but this movie stands&amp;nbsp;strikingly amongst all the movies i've seen recently, this is period movie based in the old day chennai, and it's a beautiful love story, arya as always tries to work for performance based scripts like this and it works for him, this movie wasn't expected to make waves or anything at all, hence it had an average opening but within the 2nd week the word spread and theaters filled up, this is the movie for every class, it just amazed me, that a tamil movie, a period movie could become a hit and still be critically acclaimed, the scenes in which wrestling or 'kusthi' fights occur, they were something different, i don't know what to write on this movie any&amp;nbsp;further, cos it's beyond words, must watch and you have no reason to live if you are a from chennai and you still have not seen this movie.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-7874539529108660552?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/7874539529108660552/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/08/madrasapattinam.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/7874539529108660552'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/7874539529108660552'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/08/madrasapattinam.html' title='Madrasapattinam'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TGYXKCe24TI/AAAAAAAAAK0/mFP0m82IkF8/s72-c/madrasapattinam-movie-stills-25.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-1440259041293584668</id><published>2010-07-18T16:55:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2010-07-18T17:06:03.720+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='College'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atheism'/><title type='text'>An Incident</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I just felt like writing a post on this incident, i don't know what to label this as, atheism or something else, but it's also going to be about the silliness of engineering colleges.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It was friday 16th july 2010, 8 am, i was in college sitting in my class room, waiting for classes to commence, at 8 there is an usual morning prayer to which everyone 'must' stand wherever they are, if they are walking in the corridor they must stop walking and stand, even if they are somewhere inside the campus(which is not very big), they must stop doing their work and pray, there are loud speakers on the exterior walls(no intercom speakers, great infra-structure) so that everyone hears the prayer, my college is an christian&amp;nbsp;institution so obviously they only do a christian prayer, they don't care if the person who 'must' stand is a muslim or a hindu or an Atheist like me or belonging to any other religion and forces them pray their prayer. This is a college and prayer is&amp;nbsp;compulsory&amp;nbsp;like for a primary school kid. So i thought &amp;nbsp;who the hell are they to decide whether i have to pray or not and did not stand up for prayer and continued doing my work, the lecturer for the first hour spotted 2 other girls me and another one sitting, she is a religious person and i don't blame her, she got angry like a primary school teacher, she sent those 2 girls to meet with the H.o.D and were asked to write an apology letter for not doing the prayer, punished not exactly like in primary schools but as stupid. The lecturer asked me why i was not standing, i said i did not want to pray, she was like shell-shocked to hear that, but she continued her work just after muttering a little 'good' advice. I did not care but after her hour, when i was in the next class, i was called for by the H.o.D, she had complained and maybe the H.o.D thought that was bad&amp;nbsp;behaviored&amp;nbsp;and he needed to talk to me like in primary schools, i went there to his staff room where all of my I.T department staff had their seats, H.o.D is a soft-speaking good person who also teaches well, he asked "what happened today morning sir?", i said i did not stand for prayer, "why?" i did not want to pray, "why, why? what your problem, when all others can , are you trying to be a role model? why you thought it's not good to do a christian prayer huh?", i said , no sir i am an Atheist so i did not want to pray and i was not trying to be role model, i thought i can decide personally, he said "then you do one thing join "va@#$%b"(i did not hear what he said) college that Periyar college know, join that", i got positively excited when he said cos, everyone in my college in some capacity wants to join&amp;nbsp;some other&amp;nbsp;college or&amp;nbsp;at least secretly desires so, then he said "ok first take paper and write a letter why you did that", i took the paper and happily went out the room, for a minute i felt proud, and wrote a letter, i wrote on lines of you have no right to ask me to pray, i did not do anything wrong, according to my policies praying is wrong and i won't regret doing these and these kind of things, and i gave it to him and stood there while he read my 15 line letter, he took time and said , "ok go, go and attend class", i came back.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I don't know what had happened after i came from the room, but H.o.D came to the classes with that letter in the hand stood outside for a few secs and went back to his room, then in 4th hour which is hour of the class in-charge of my class 3rd year I.T 'B' section, she came made us stand for a while and then she started addressing the class saying she never thought we would be like this, not looking into my eyes, but i was staring at her, really wanted to know what her reaction would be like cos, she also was a religious person, then she said that don't act like what others have taught you, don't imitate them blindly(ya i don't i prefer logic and reasoning), you are just small children(oh ya 20 year old children, enough to produce children) and inexperienced to take decisions, somebody asked her why are you talking about this topic suddenly, she said "chumma i finished my portions", then suddenly she said she cried many times after joining this college(that one is&amp;nbsp;common to students and lectures too i thought)&amp;nbsp;and then she shed a few tears and asked "how many are absent today?" 18 was the answer, so everyone thought she felt hurt for so many bunked classes on fridays, she said no other department has such record, she was wrong in the C.S.E department 21 were absent, and it was for my reaction to the morning prayer she shed those tears, or i felt so.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;For the evening prayer i stood though, cos my class in-charge was passing by and i did not want to make her cry another time, she is on of the very few lectures in our college who had some some knowledge of what they were lecturing and was an excellent teacher. People join my college as lectures in their very early&amp;nbsp;carrier just to gain some experience and leave for better colleges after they have gained the so called experience, they normally lack knowledge of the subject and don't teach well. As far as i am concerned i don't know if i'll stand up for these stupid prayers here after. This is Loyola Institute of Technology my stupid college.That pic below looks very similar to what i feel when ever i was forced to pray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TELgO6G3vSI/AAAAAAAAAKw/hFiS_MDNoeI/s1600/prayer-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TELgO6G3vSI/AAAAAAAAAKw/hFiS_MDNoeI/s400/prayer-2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-1440259041293584668?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/1440259041293584668/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/07/incident.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/1440259041293584668'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/1440259041293584668'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/07/incident.html' title='An Incident'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TELgO6G3vSI/AAAAAAAAAKw/hFiS_MDNoeI/s72-c/prayer-2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-3850339874857414768</id><published>2010-07-18T08:21:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2010-08-15T13:00:33.633+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chennai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Silly stuff'/><title type='text'>Sundogs spotted in Chennai.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A friend wrote in his blog that these ring formations around the sun are called as Sun dogs, occurred in chennai, 11th july 2010 at about 11 to 12, for more info on sun dogs go to this &lt;a href="http://inchara4u.blogspot.com/2009/07/sun-dog.html"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;.

&amp;nbsp; Thanks to piracy i was able to watch this movie, this is not a review it's just my opinion. Shutter Island is a &amp;nbsp;very good movie according to me, directed by Martin Scorcese this movie lived up to the hype that it created after it's official american release, normally the hollywood movies are not very fast the suspense movies i mean, there is some part of the movie which will get too boring yet meaningful but this movie somehow managed to keep you in that mood and yet was logical, there are enough twist in the plot to keep you hooked, this kind of a narrative style resembles "Fight Club" which almost never allows you to doubt the hallucinated person, one thinks that character is real almost till the climax. Di Caprio as always did a fine job his role is of an U.S Marshall and then of an&amp;nbsp;schizophrenic ex-U.S marshall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TCT9LCCJrzI/AAAAAAAAAKM/TrsXg-BtahY/s1600/shutter_island.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TCT9LCCJrzI/AAAAAAAAAKM/TrsXg-BtahY/s640/shutter_island.jpg" width="417" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; There is a significant part of the movie where Di Caprio seem to get hallucinations of his wife and a small girl, these scenes looked really good, a strange feeling creeps through during these scenes, unlike in "Fight Club" where "mayhem" is caused late after the lead starts to hallucinate, here the lead hallucinates only because of previous emotional issues with his wife. This mental disorder&amp;nbsp;schizophrenia is an amazing thing have seen a similar movie recently, similar in the sense of mental disorder concept&amp;nbsp;nothing else though , the movie is "Karthick Calling Karthick" that was also pirated and very thrilling feel-good movie.Then another movie with a similar concept is "Donnie darko" and somebody please explain that movie to me. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-4724540508110811451?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/4724540508110811451/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/06/shutter-island.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/4724540508110811451'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/4724540508110811451'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/06/shutter-island.html' title='Shutter Island'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TCT9LCCJrzI/AAAAAAAAAKM/TrsXg-BtahY/s72-c/shutter_island.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-6134940070462105705</id><published>2010-06-12T21:16:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2010-06-12T21:16:14.436+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movies'/><title type='text'>Height of Fanaticism</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TBOfKs1U6fI/AAAAAAAAAKI/IusHrAq2uKE/s1600/original_naga-chaitanya_469f035a710a2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TBOfKs1U6fI/AAAAAAAAAKI/IusHrAq2uKE/s400/original_naga-chaitanya_469f035a710a2.jpg" width="388" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I have nothing personal against that guy. I have an uncle who is a fan of a telugu actor Akkeneni Nageshwar Rao, so he automatically became a fan of his son Nagarjuna and his son Naga Chaithanya and also automatically hates Venkatesh and his family (some family problems between the two stars). A few days back i was outside with the uncle in his shop, somebody asked him what movie's he has seen recently and his plans for the newly released movie's he said he saw most of the movies running and was&amp;nbsp;particularly NOT&amp;nbsp;interested in watching Vedam (the only proper movie, but that's his taste i respect it), he said pointing to the &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YjF5rgKuMuY/S87lSawMjWI/AAAAAAAAGZE/gzOxt3Fzisw/s1600/veda.jpg"&gt;poster of vedam&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;"Those two guys on the poster, roam on trees, i don't watch their movie's"( for aussies: that ain't racial vilification mates), those two guys were Allu Arjun, nephew of Chiranjeevi and Manchu Manoj son of Mohan Babu.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Extreme fanaticism leads to some stupidity, a few days prior to the quoted statement, he said "Yem Maya Chesave (telugu version of Vinnay thandi Varuvaya) showed all the power of naga chaithanya", now look at that guy, naga chaithanya is one of the ugliest looking actor, or at least compare him with the other two guys, he surely is uglier than both, this guy NC when he opens his mouth the trouble starts, he looks are fairly ok if his mouth is closed but if it is opened wtf, my first impression was that he looked like a gorilla, from what&amp;nbsp;I've&amp;nbsp;seen his dialog delivery is bad, his acting i don't know i saw only a few scenes, dance was ok, looks&amp;nbsp;devastatingly&amp;nbsp;ugly, he walks like he has a hunch, comparing other guys both actors tell dialogs with grace especially AA he has a unique style, acting both are good MM's acting was good in Vedam, dance AA's special attribute is dance any person will be amazed looking at dance absolutely amazing dancer (vijay copies his step's and get's the credit for doing an "original" step), MM is an good dancer, looks both are not very handsome but not ugly by the first impression, AA is lot better than the two others in the looks department.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; If the other 2 guys can be monkeys NC should&amp;nbsp;be a gorrila, ok let me end this post i am not trying to make &amp;nbsp;NC look ugly, i don't care how he looks but i was just showing the height of fanaticism. &amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp; I've been to my native Andhra pradesh recently and got to watch two telugu movies, now this is kind of weird cos the movie i liked very much is a commercial flop and the movie a hated all the way is a hit, talks a lot about telugu movie standards.&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&amp;nbsp; SIMHA: This was a movie which i never wanted to go, cos i always knew the actor above is as bad as vijay, but i did go cos i was told it was a good movie, wtf? good? i must use this&amp;nbsp;occasion to congratulate vijay as i'll not be saying anything good about him later, vijay you are lot better that stupid bala krishna, absolutely stupid movie was simha all the movie there were nothing but outrageous, non-sense&amp;nbsp;fight sequences &amp;nbsp;in the opening fight sequence he beats about 7-10 men with one hand in the pocket!!!!, vijay even you could have never done that man, and heroines, there were 3 of them Namitha, Sneha Ullal, Nayanthara, of which only nayanthara had a little proper role, sneha looked like balayya's daughter and Namitha like big fat pig, both with no significant role, absolutely stupid movie, but that's the way it is mass audience want such movie, without a story, meaning less glamour, and absolutely no logic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; But this Bala Krishna as a person i find one of the most jovial kind of person, there is a cricket tournament coming up for cinema actors and i see him very actively participating and being funny and etc just one good thing about him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TBBr6VCrTzI/AAAAAAAAAKE/YwoTSUZ8nyU/s1600/Vedam-movie-wallpapers1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TBBr6VCrTzI/AAAAAAAAAKE/YwoTSUZ8nyU/s640/Vedam-movie-wallpapers1.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; VEDAM: Directed by Radha krishna, this is a masterpiece of a movie, but unfortunately i don't know if this movie will be a hit&amp;nbsp;commercially, the director previously made a masterpiece called "Gamyam" which is based on the italian movie "Motorcycle diaries" and he returns now to make vedam which was released on june 4th and i watched on 5th, the story is complicated which is exactly what i liked about the movie, there are 5 stories which run simultaneously, screenplay was excellently done like the kind of screenplay in "The Prestige" where the scenes make very little sense until late in the movie. Manchu Manoj generally considered as a talentless fool outside played the role of a rock star from benguluru and one of his troop member is Lekha Washington, the former SS music vj, Allu Arjun the stylish star played the role of educated slum dweller "Cable Raju", Manoj Bajpai plays the role of a muslim who is affected by the religious clashes that take place in hyderabad, then the story of a villager who sells his kidney to pay up the money he borrowed played by Naggayya and Saranya, then there is what you are waiting for ANUSKHA plays the role of Saroja a prostitute who run away from her brothel looking for greener pastures, no unwanted exposure of glamour here even the role of a prostitute has been done without any hungama.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This a movie had it been made in hollywood it would have easily got nominated for oscars but it is a telugu movie so don't dream, won't even get nominated as a best movie from India, music was good and very&amp;nbsp;meaningful, camera work was good story is very good, screenplay excellent, Must watch for anyone, climax was excellent.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; But i don't think this might become a commercial hit cos there is nothing the mass audience want, but excellent work by the director there is surely a set, generally termed as A-center&amp;nbsp;audience who'll like the movie.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-1146858485885182056?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/1146858485885182056/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/06/ap.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/1146858485885182056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/1146858485885182056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/06/ap.html' title='AP'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TBBr2q6BDDI/AAAAAAAAAKA/Qc0ScxcnAu8/s72-c/simha-1-3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-681774704356830223</id><published>2010-05-27T10:14:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2010-05-27T10:14:59.410+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Don't know what to name this.</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp; I made an effort to go to Royapuram from Ponnamali to watch this movie at Idream cinemas, and indeed also made an effort to watch the movie, a few days ago an sms was floating around which said that only a person who does not know one bit about love would say " Enna miru padam da idhu?"(what a stupid movie is this?), this movie was clearly advertised more than it required, i don't mean the movie is very bad, no not that, but it ain't Gautham Menon's best movie either.&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This movie is a love failure story, some random fool said it was a copy of the english movie "500 Days of Summer" but it is not, in this movie, Simbu acts as Kartick an&amp;nbsp;engineering&amp;nbsp;grad who wants to become a movie director and Trisha is a M.C.A grad working in a software company, he is one year younger than she, he is hindu she is malayali christian, nothing seems to favour love between the both, but then fall in love, but her dad wants her to marry only a christian and a person with a "proper" job, at one point when she asks him to take her somewhere and marry her he refuses as he is in goa shooting for a movie as crew member, then love breaks and story goes on, no more spoilers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Gautham Menon&amp;nbsp;stereotypes his characters&amp;nbsp;and that was the major reason for my irritation, his style was clearly evident in the movie,hero's parents are always building a new house, heroine has either studied math in college or computers, in this movie both math and computers, heroine mostly appears in formal saree's, they are tall and slow-talkers, let me put it in one small line, Trisha make-up looked strikingly similar to Jo's in Khakke-Khakke and Asin's in Gharshana (telugu version on KK), and there were many other similarities(which don't come to my mind as i type this) which made the movie look a little bit not-new.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Music is always a plus for Gautham's movies, but this movie's music got mixed reviews, a few liked it very much, to the extent that they sang that "Hosanna" song&amp;nbsp;literally a million times by now and a few did not like it that much and i was the extreme kind who hated the music, for me only hossana was a bit bearably others were terrible, i am no one to comment on ARR's music, he is the maestro but i am not a fan of slow melodies, for me music must be loud and fast, but the bgm themes were excellent i felt, one theme starts like the sound which comes from the snake charmers instrument, or i don't know what it is and then it goes&amp;nbsp;on with a lot of drumming i liked that very much but unfortunately the themes for the movie were not released with the audio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Performances in the movie were good, Trisha particularly acted superbly i felt, always when she was walking i felt her walk was funny, which was later used in the movie when simbu says to her that her walk was funny, that line really surprised me, Simbu did not do his normal over-acting, sappa scene putting, mockai dancing role, but he acted properly and most importantly no reference to TR, this is Gautham's movie everything else was perfect except for the story,&amp;nbsp;dialog "it's like a way ticket to the heart break city"&amp;nbsp;was innovative and that's it i remember of that movie, after all it's not a "Prison Break" to remember till death.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-8073184684606417947?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/8073184684606417947/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/04/vinnai-thaandi-varuvaya.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/8073184684606417947'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/8073184684606417947'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/04/vinnai-thaandi-varuvaya.html' title='Vinnai thaandi varuvaya'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S7XrHT-qInI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/quQVHkPHWcs/s72-c/vtv.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-4063200911699902950</id><published>2010-04-01T09:02:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2010-04-02T07:35:17.238+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cricket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Indian Premier League'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chennai Super Kings'/><title type='text'>CSk for life</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I have seen a few movies this week, which include two oscar nominee movies "Precious","The Blind Side" and the "The Departed","Dev D", among which those last two stood out, while the departed was a crime and thriller genre movie, Dev D was one of it's kind drug and other real life incidents based movie.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The Departed was good but Dev D was excellent, people might wonder how people watch these kinda movies, but i like them, i have seen movies on drug abuse, prostitution etc etc before in the likes of "The Basketball diaries", "Requiem For a Dream", "Fight Club" etc there are a lot more which i don't remember presently, all of them were excellent movies and DD is surely one of the best, it was very original when compared to other Indian movies which easily copy the screenplay, story and music, this movie stands out in that aspect and even better than a hollywood movie. The style maybe slightly inspired but not like a straight copy at all.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This movie mainly is about three characters Dev, Paro ,Chanda/Leni. Dev is spoiled young man, who returns from London for his bro's wedding and wants to marry his childhood lover Paro, but he hears rumors of she having an sexual affair with someone and Dev insults her, Paro loves him but after the insult she moves on and marries another person, later Dev&amp;nbsp;realizes that the rumors are false, but it's too late, Paro&amp;nbsp;settles in Delhi with her husband, Dev has a hotel in Delhi, he starts getting addicted to drugs and drinking, here Chanda comes in she is a teen who gets caught in a mms&amp;nbsp;scandal, then her dad commits suicide, mom leaves her, she then comes to delhi and works as a prostitute by night and goes to college in the day and then the story goes on, i can't write it completely.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This movie has every thing, excellent direction, screenplay, cinematography, music , very good performances especially Kalki (Leni/Chanda) but the movie lacks a little bit of logic, like paro having good internet access, there is a lot of sex involved and in the first half they always seem to be doing it without getting caught, good english spoken like a lot of slum dwellers, people wearing hats,glasses etc inside an Indian slum,elvis presly styled wedding singers. But this movie is not that bad either, in fact other than those little &amp;nbsp;logical errors it's an exceptional movie, with the music fitted the way it was fitted it's just excellent, and this movie was not even selected for oscars list from India, if it was it might have stood a great chance cos it's like one of their movies with a good Indian touch. It deals a lot with female sexual desires and how they are&amp;nbsp;suppressed in our culture, Music was really really excellent i think i mentioned music twice earlier in this post but it needs that mention cos it was so good and the actress Kalki was again really good, she is an indo-french from pondy so she knows french, tamil, english fluently and she speaks too in all those languages in the movie!, she apparently learned Hindi for this movie(ha ha, truely south indian).&lt;br /&gt;BOTTOMLESS: Must watch, few might never understand it but a really good movie some even call it a devdas&amp;nbsp;satire.&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp; Shit, i don't know what's wrong with our team franchise, first they give a yellow&amp;nbsp;color&amp;nbsp;jersey, people say manja color banian(yellow, yellow dirty fellow with a captain buffalo), kothanaru podaru banian (masons wear a similar yellow color vest and do their work), Kak*** color da adhu (no expalination). Then they select a buffalo as the captain with no proper bowling attack, then they create a unbearable team song, then they buy cheap cheer leaders, then they make vijay the team&amp;nbsp;ambassador.....do what not?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I am tired of explaining all the geth our dress colour, and i don't support the captain but i back all the stupid player, then i say, this is the best team this is MY team, and saying vijay is removed now's sivamani.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What for?&amp;nbsp;Tomorrow is IPL, I don't see any fever out there, saturday is our first match, no proper advertising on tv or internet or even newspapers, KKR the most stupidest IPL team is also doing some advertising, what are we doing? We got enough negative publicity already with a buffalo playing for the team and a pig ambassadoring the team I don't know what's my purpose as a fan, I don't know why i am a fan of such a stupid team.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; But wait,This is MY team what if those assholes don't&amp;nbsp;publicize&amp;nbsp;MY team, I will be a fan for life. MY team WILL win the&amp;nbsp;tournament this time, this time no semi final finish and stuff, winners is the only finish we are going to see this time. My team has the best batting line up, now come and face my team and you are only getting to be humiliated by boundaries flying outside the ground, come saturday it's gonna be mayhem on the field, it's gonna seem like there is reverse gravity effect when MY team bat, balls gonna get ripped apart, and getting lost every few overs, such is the bashing gonna be, every other team out there is going to think "shit guys we've been&amp;nbsp;cheated, they are using black magic" such is the effect going to be, it would be just like the Kings have arrived but wait, we are the Superkings, Beware others out there, the Superkings are on the prowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;CSK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;FOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"&gt;LIFE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-7249367161350982191?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/7249367161350982191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/03/chennai-super-kings.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/7249367161350982191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/7249367161350982191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/03/chennai-super-kings.html' title='Chennai Super Kings'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-550364647985552701</id><published>2010-03-07T21:41:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2010-03-07T21:41:44.583+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Oscar's '10</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Ok i've seen 5 movies out of the 10 movies selected, by the time this post is posted, it would be 9 hours to go for the ceremony. The 5 movies i've seen are "Hurt Locker, Inglorious Bastards,Up in the Air,District 9,Avatar". I watch movies so differently and i have a very awkward taste in&amp;nbsp;anything, be it movies or other stuff, ok coming to the point, if only those 5 movies were selected for the oscar's and if and only if i was given a chance to select the best of those movie's, i would first reject "Avatar" and "Inglorious Bastards" out of contention, Avatar is pathetic apart from the special effects, it has story of a Vijaykanth movie but it's not that bad though, i just mean it can't be selected for the best movie.IB i think that good either, Tarantino might have already called this his masterpiece but it ain't, it has a very strong performance by Christoph Waltz, hope he wins that oscar for best supporting actor, but movie not good enough for the best movie.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; That simply leaves me down with 3 movies, now that's a tie-breaker&amp;nbsp;situation. As far as imdb rating goes, the clear winner is District 9 it got 8.3 on imdb and ranked 117 in the top 250 movies, Hurt locker is 8 and Up in the Air is 7.9. But my choice, i really don't know, it's just boiled down to D9 and HL, now, if i ever got a chance to decide, i would give that to, i've put of a lot of thought into it, which is unusual &amp;nbsp;for me, it's District 9 and the only reason why it scores better than HL is that HL i lot slower than d9.&amp;nbsp;Story-wise, hl is a little better than d9, bu it's D9. That's it for now will try to see "Precious Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire"(it's another nominee) before that ceremony starts.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-550364647985552701?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/550364647985552701/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/03/oscars-10.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/550364647985552701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/550364647985552701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/03/oscars-10.html' title='Oscar&apos;s &apos;10'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-552784703044687239</id><published>2010-03-01T22:34:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2010-03-01T22:34:10.953+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Silly stuff'/><title type='text'>A terror SQL joke</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;

That would be the obvious question, let me explain, many may think that i am insane, even my own bro does not agree with me in this, ok check it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Slumdog is not at all a great movie, this a fact, Explanation:, it has a story which most probably won't occur in&amp;nbsp;India&amp;nbsp;at all, of course it did use a bit of real life incidents like the&amp;nbsp;Mumbai's&amp;nbsp;hindu-muslim riots,but jamal speaking in flawless english and using a call center computer with ease, that's extremely bad. The movie is filled with many other mistakes that which i don't remember right now, and moreover have we never seen a movie with a similar story line?, yes we have and that too about some 10 years back, and no oscar was given to them, and why was this movie given an oscar? maybe a white guy directed it, we&amp;nbsp;Indians&amp;nbsp;have already directed movies movies far better than slumdog, but they were ignored.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Jai Ho is not even one of the best of A.R.R songs, now this may vary from person to person, I did not like the song from the very beginning, i don't mean it is bad but it is surely not the best, and i wonder how Gulzar got the oscar for best lyrics when the selection panel probably did not even understand one line in the song.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;And adding insult to injury the media went gung-ho about this movie while even Amithab Bachchan openly criticized the movie, i felt that only the screenplay of the movie was good apart from cinematography, music was good not the best and original screenplay did win an award which was fair, i wonder about the other awards and i don't have any idea about Resul Pookuty's award.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Performances, shit performance by Dev patil, others did a very good job, all kids were excellent, Freida Pinto needs a special mention, Irfan Khan, Anil Kapoor every one did a good job except Dev Patil who played the older Jamal in the movie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I fell that had a movie like this had been made in hindi, it would have never even have become a hit and then it would have never found a way into the list of oscar nominations from&amp;nbsp;India&amp;nbsp;and the world would have never known a movie like this&amp;nbsp;existed. So why were we so proud when ARR won the award?, it's just pure indirect insult to our culture, So why were we so proud when the movie won awards for direction and screenplay?, when the direction and screenplay was not done by an Indian, first of all why were so proud about this movie which is not at all&amp;nbsp;Indian? The ultimate answer is that the MEDIA has duped us into&amp;nbsp;believing that it was actually a good movie based on our culture. I don't know when the media will ever stop hyping unnecessary&amp;nbsp;things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I know that many would not agree with what i just wrote, but i'll end this post with a tinge of happiness that&amp;nbsp;India's&amp;nbsp;most favorite actor is on my side or rather i am on his side. Sorry if i was racial, but i couldn't find no better way to explain it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-2528666596269104047?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/2528666596269104047/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/why-i-hate-movie-slumdog-millionaire.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/2528666596269104047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/2528666596269104047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/why-i-hate-movie-slumdog-millionaire.html' title='Why I hate the movie &quot;Slumdog millionaire&quot; and &quot;Jai ho&quot; Song'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-4628242836067499110</id><published>2010-02-25T18:35:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2010-03-01T16:36:28.298+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sports'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cricket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sachinism'/><title type='text'>Sachin THE God.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S4Z2VG5MiEI/AAAAAAAAAIA/pWUezeYz-S8/s1600-h/sachin+200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="475" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S4Z2VG5MiEI/AAAAAAAAAIA/pWUezeYz-S8/s640/sachin+200.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This is my 50th post and what a wonderful thing i got to write for this post, Sachin and his 200*, it's a Divine sent gift (i mean sachin when i say divine,God etc). I spent a fair bit of my life in one sadness, only one record not created or broken by the God, but i thought that the god is omnipotent and just for a him a record book could be created and just that one record would not matter at all. But i'll remember the 24th of&amp;nbsp;February, celebrate this day as it is one of the most important day of the year apart from the 24th of&amp;nbsp;April this is the day that broke an existing record and also create a new record that no living person has done(that's why he is the God). I stood up in adulation, tears rolled down(i don't know why it happened, but it surely did happen) and was&amp;nbsp;paralyzed with admiration,passion or any other word in that dictionary for love for the God,&amp;nbsp;there is completeness now, every mafa record is made by the God now, is there anyone out there to question any aspect of the God?, C'mon where are those who said that he's old for the game?, C'mon where are those who said he is not consistant?, C'mon where are those who said he can't bat fast?, C'mon where are those who uttered those&amp;nbsp;blasphemous shit? and most importantly where is that coach and a wicketkeeper-batsmen and other mere-mortals who doubted his&amp;nbsp;commitment?, Ya you got it, those have dug their heads into a ditch full of dog shit or they have understood their mistake and changed their stance from anti-god to devotees of the&amp;nbsp;omni powerful.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; There was an sms after the record from a good friend of mine, he asked "I got a critical doubt now, will the God's 200 be considered as the 46th century or his first 200?", i never replied, i did not know the answer, but &amp;nbsp;all i knew was that God is great and only because of him these kinds of doubts could arise, all i can say is that, "&lt;b&gt;I was an Atheist, but saw Sachin Tendulkar and&amp;nbsp;realized how blind i was&lt;/b&gt;". One chance, i need to meet him or at least&amp;nbsp;see him from a distance, i can go back and die happily!, what else is left?, i would have attained salvation, that's enough for my life.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-4628242836067499110?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/4628242836067499110/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/sachin-god.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/4628242836067499110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/4628242836067499110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/sachin-god.html' title='Sachin THE God.'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S4Z2VG5MiEI/AAAAAAAAAIA/pWUezeYz-S8/s72-c/sachin+200.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-3439203162659138667</id><published>2010-02-23T20:45:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2010-02-23T20:45:15.193+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atheism'/><title type='text'>Judaism and Islam</title><content type='html'>Ok i did not do a lot of research before this post so just don't get into the&amp;nbsp;absolute correctness of what i write,&lt;br /&gt;I got an sms the other day, which said,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Why Muslim girls want to marry Hindu men?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;because,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;1.Freedom from Burkha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;Relief from 7-8 deliveries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;3.

While even simple logic could say a lot about the truth, people depend on these books and resort to all kinds of stupidity, wars ,&amp;nbsp;riots, terrorism, untouchabilty, etc, all kinds of shit happen due to religion, just imagine a world without religion, peace in punjab('83 hindu-muslim riots), a view of two tall towers from the banks of river hudson, most of riots might have never&amp;nbsp;occurred, most social evils would have never even been thought of and many other good things might have happened.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Now, i am not urging no one to become an atheist or making a direct insult on a particular religion or saying that your faith is stupid, all i want to say is, &lt;b&gt;think&lt;/b&gt;, use that thing inside your skull a little more, i am an atheist already and i can proudly say that i became an atheist all by myself just by pure thinking, i always doubted and now i am sure of the truth.

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Lola rennt!, was does that mean, well it's in german for lola run! literally, and a beautiful movie has been made on that title. This movie is also otherwise famously known as "Run Lola Run", and it's directed by Tom Twyker a german director, this is the first german movie i have ever seen, which makes german the 5th foreign language in which i have seen movie's. Ok many might have seen this movie already since it is so famous and hit theaters in '98, it's an absolute thriller with maverick screenplay and even more maniac story.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Lola gets a phone call from her boyfriend Manni, crying he lost 100,000 marks(german currency) and he's got only 20 more mins left now(time is 11:40) to pay off or he would be killed by the person whom he owes that money and by 12, he would rob the supermarket near him and take the money to pay away the 100,000, so lola starts running thinking where to go, and she thinks it's better to go to her dad and then, the movie starts to blow you into pieces, from then on it's a masterpiece, very fast, very logical, and certainly very good.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This movie is actually three different sets of stories or ways in which that 100,000 marks can be got, the movie stops after each instance of getting the money and again starts afresh and it ends the third time only.This is a very small movie approx 1 hour and 10 mins but very effective in telling the story. A must watch for thriller genre fans like me, currently rated 8 on &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0130827/"&gt;imdb&lt;/a&gt;, surely going to be one of my most favorite movies of all time.Must Watch movie.Bye.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-6583870758881490081?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/6583870758881490081/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/lola-rennt.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/6583870758881490081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/6583870758881490081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/lola-rennt.html' title='Lola Rennt!'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S36m_yI4KVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/xrpVmqiBAv8/s72-c/lolarennt.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-44825909339294640</id><published>2010-02-15T17:54:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2010-02-17T21:22:07.882+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sports'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Silly stuff'/><title type='text'>Adidas-Rumor</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Never heard a funnier rumor&amp;nbsp;than this, very funny one, check it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Adidas sports apparel,&amp;nbsp;footwear company was actually started by Indians in the U.S. Two people Adithyan, Devadas started this company to earn a living long back, which is now known and very&amp;nbsp;common brand.Rofl.&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; So after hearing these absolutely silly rumors, i searched on the net and the truth is, Adidas is a german company started by adolf dassler, rudolf dassler. Jesse owens won 4 olympic medals wearing those shoes, which made them a rage instantly and it remains famous to date. Then after the world war-2 both the brothers separated then rudolf started Ruda which was later rechristened as Puma and adolf kept the original name and the factory. Reebok too is a part of adidas, so the major three sportswear brands belong to the same family.

This the only movie outside the&amp;nbsp;legendary guy ritchie style of taking, but of course it's boring to see all other movies in the same style and so he tried this movie and did a fairly good job. The story contains almost all the famous holmes characters in the movie, including Irene Adler and Lestrade. This story is to find a person who&amp;nbsp;practices black magic, he is caught and sentenced to death by hanging for practicing black magic and murdering five other women but resurrects from death mysteriously.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; That's it no more spoilers, the screenplay was fairly fast and regular unlike guy ritchie's style.Camera work and art is worth mention, here-and-there there were glimpses of the directors style, like a bare fist boxing match(snatch) and a little of the narrative style also. Watch it, a good movie, rated 7.6 presently on &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0988045/"&gt;imdb&lt;/a&gt;.

I think it's the american mind set, which is different from mine, Iraqi, Afgani war, i don't know them and i don't care about them, but maybe the american's may know about it cos, they have done those wars. The movie starts with the death of an american bomb squad person in Iraq and he's replaced with a new bomb technician, who's&amp;nbsp;extremely reckless and don't care about his life. The story is about that bomb technician and his 3 member team, in which one gets injured just because of the bomb tech, and the third one is a be safe person. At the end of their rotation term , the be safe person goes home to marry and have children and does not want to return, but the reckless bomb tech feels Iraq needs more bomb techs and returns for a full one year term to Iraq leaving his wife and one year child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Good movie but as i said it's too slow and gory in some scenes, watchable movie, i just didn't have no&amp;nbsp;emotional&amp;nbsp;connect with that story.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-7381721609166506780?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/7381721609166506780/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/hurt-locker.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/7381721609166506780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/7381721609166506780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/hurt-locker.html' title='Hurt Locker'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S3YhJxSB1hI/AAAAAAAAAHs/JOZZcQUxLBo/s72-c/hurt_locker_ver3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-6656143555636536265</id><published>2010-02-06T21:08:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2010-02-06T21:13:27.736+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movies'/><title type='text'>Goa-Not really a senseless holiday</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S22Af7UUZ6I/AAAAAAAAAHo/Z-G1pcwxl0U/s1600-h/goa-latest%20-movie%20posters,stills,wallpapers%20(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S22Af7UUZ6I/AAAAAAAAAHo/Z-G1pcwxl0U/s400/goa-latest%20-movie%20posters,stills,wallpapers%20(3).jpg" width="321" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Senseless holiday, that's how it was&amp;nbsp;refered&amp;nbsp;to, but i don't think it's a really senseless movie, of course it ain't so funny but the real-bad-don't-watch reviews were not the truth i saw this movie a few hours back at rohini multiplex, the theater was not really good either sound effects were bad and moreover a lot of scenes were a copy from many english movies, like hangover where those people go to vegas, these guys go to goa to have a good time and they later get into trouble and in a scene vaibhav gets&amp;nbsp;allergy due to sea food (copied from hitch) and a beer drinking contest in the bar(copied from??? you guess). There are three special&amp;nbsp;appearances&amp;nbsp;in the movie prasanna, simbu, nayanthara.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Initially jessica alba was approached to play a important role in the movie but she asked a large amount of money as fees, so they selected somebody else to play that role. Music of this movie was not great only one song, direction finds nothing nice to mention, camera work and certain special effects were good. Performance by sampath the famous villain as a soft speaking homosexual is very good, and others performances were also fine just about ok i have to say. This movie is nothing really to watch only if there is no other proper work to do, go for this movie( I had no proper work). Not really waste of money but a part of it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-6656143555636536265?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/6656143555636536265/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/goa-not-really-senseless-holiday.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/6656143555636536265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/6656143555636536265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/goa-not-really-senseless-holiday.html' title='Goa-Not really a senseless holiday'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S22Af7UUZ6I/AAAAAAAAAHo/Z-G1pcwxl0U/s72-c/goa-latest%20-movie%20posters,stills,wallpapers%20(3).jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-4942452587235320020</id><published>2010-01-30T16:49:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2010-01-30T16:49:53.707+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movies'/><title type='text'>Tamil Padam, Porkkalam</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S2QPsF4FiLI/AAAAAAAAAHU/iXOzpgUPkGk/s1600-h/Tamil_Padam_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="392" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S2QPsF4FiLI/AAAAAAAAAHU/iXOzpgUPkGk/s400/Tamil_Padam_b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I am tired, my head's aching and stomach seems to have swelled, throats a bit dry and for what? I saw this movie a few hours back, me and 3 others went to this movie at rohini theaters and found seats at some 5th row from the screen, the moment the movie started people(including me) started shouting,hooting,&amp;nbsp;whistling&amp;nbsp;and it never stopped till the&amp;nbsp;interval. It is a spoof of many movies and contains a no reason complete non-sense story, in the morning some idiot said that the movie was bad but that was not the case when i saw the movie only&amp;nbsp;disappointment was that the only 4 of us went for the movie but this is a 10-member-in-a-gang movie, it feels better when you watch it with a gang of&amp;nbsp;friends.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This movie contains a ridiculous love story but extremely funny one, a hero who just does all stupid things and old thata's potrayed as college students, and the list of funny things in this especially the interval block the "Run" fight in the subway, hero's intro after becoming a man from a boy&amp;nbsp;miraculously just in 5 sec's are few of the best moments.Highly recommend anyone who reads this movie to watch it but go with a bunch of friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S2QVqgNWAiI/AAAAAAAAAHk/jo52UtQFFwo/s1600-h/PorkkalamFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="367" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S2QVqgNWAiI/AAAAAAAAAHk/jo52UtQFFwo/s400/PorkkalamFront.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;By the way last tuesday that's 26th i saw "Porkalam", a&amp;nbsp;friend said it was good and me and another guy went for it at the devi complex, waste of money, theater was not that good, too much ac etc this movie's story is very mysterious cos,&amp;nbsp;I've not yet understood why such a movie was taken, but only one thing is this camera work superbly done, slow fade-in's and out's were good but an extremely bad movie, highly recommend not watch it.

Everyone knows it as 22\7, but why it's 22\7?...Why can't it be some 11\3 or some other irrational number? Those questions have haunted me for some time but i am no&amp;nbsp;Einstein so never spent time wasting my mind thinking about it, but i saw this movie called "Pi".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S1p3vfEPjNI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/9gFUbVCKVaM/s1600-h/pi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S1p3vfEPjNI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/9gFUbVCKVaM/s400/pi.jpg" width="278" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;9:13, Personal note: When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once when I was six, I did. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal. I was terrified, alone in that darkness. Slowly daylight crept in through the bandages, and I could see, but something else had changed inside of me. That day I had my first headache.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;What a movie was that?Was that a movie? those are the questions haunting me these days.This movie has a story which probably you won't understand but you will be glued to the seat until the end. At first i started watching the movie with no knowledge about what it would be, wow, it's a BLACK AND WHITE movie and i was thinking it might have been taken in some 50's but to my horror it's a movie from the year 1998, so what would a movie in black and white made in 98 would offer?, i thought but again it was one&amp;nbsp;thriller of a movie i was glued to my chair in front of the computer even until the end-titles ran out. Then later i&amp;nbsp;realized the same team which worked for "Requiem for Dream" were the makers of this movie also, Requiem is one of my favorite movie and now Pi is also on the list. It's&amp;nbsp;about a mathematician who works hard to find what the pi is and apply it to the stock markets and in other applications but he faces problems in the due course that's how the story is made up of. I recommend this as a must watch,it has fast paced music,screenplay,camera work(though it's black and white, it's very good) everything about the movie was pacy and good, here's &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for it's rating and other stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;Restate my assumptions: 1, Mathematics is the language of nature. 2, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature. Evidence: The cycling of disease epidemics;the wax and wane of caribou populations; sun spot cycles; the rise and fall of the Nile. So, what about the stock market? The universe of numbers that represents the global economy. Millions of hands at work, billions of minds. A vast network, screaming with life. An organism. A natural organism. My hypothesis: Within the stock market, there is a pattern as well... Right in front of me... hiding behind the numbers. Always has been.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-5438784471252839466?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5438784471252839466/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/pi.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/5438784471252839466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/5438784471252839466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/pi.html' title='Pi: The movie'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/S1p3vfEPjNI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/9gFUbVCKVaM/s72-c/pi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-8355372827951431915</id><published>2010-01-03T12:12:00.004+05:30</published><updated>2010-01-28T22:38:06.935+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Friends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movies'/><title type='text'>Priceless Things</title><content type='html'>Today is the last day of the vacation which my christian-minority college gave for us, in a way i am&amp;nbsp;fortunate to be&amp;nbsp;studying(at least going and coming back)&amp;nbsp;in this college because they are all religion&amp;nbsp;fanatics and there is always a reasonable amount of holidays for any&amp;nbsp;religion's occasions. It seems to be like everyone out there is doing some work or going to college but we alone are staying at home and enjoying our vacation, but this vacation of 12 days have been very enjoyable for me and my friends but money was spent in fairly equal amounts, we saw quite a lot of movies that's where the money went, almost everywhere the tickets costs were more than 70 + 30 rs one day pass to go travel by bus + food eaten outside cos we get back home very late. But whatever happened we did enjoy our asses off. OK at the end of this holidays i plan to just write a list on what movies i saw and see how much i spent and also other things which took place in between.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;VETTAIKARAN (hehehehe) we wasted 70 for ticket,just a waste, luckily we missed the first 15 mins which was&amp;nbsp;extremely&amp;nbsp;funny as a few of my other friends say it was and adding other costs some 60 approx.That day was the first time(for all not just me)&amp;nbsp;we went to the citi center after roaming in the beach for about an hour. Date: around 23,24 Theatre: Idream,Royapettah.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Raj's christmas party, we went to his house near avadi this was not a costly affair but 30 rs ticket was taken as it was needed and morning breakfast was eaten out.We drank just a&amp;nbsp;bottle cap full of wine at his home, some were expecting beer but that did not happen, briyani was served saw this sivaji movie at his house luckily only the first half then we talked at chatted took photos with Raj's guitar and time went by, but sadly since there were many at Raj's house, he himself couldn't enjoy as he was hosting the lunch.Date: 25.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;YOGI- wonderful movie i did not even write a post about it, this movie was raw, realistic and emotional. It deals with the concept of 'even bad people can have heart'.The last scene when ganja karrupu throws the photos under the door and the photos get scattered all over the room it's a very emotional scene.I did not rate it, so it's 8.5/10.Expenditure 80 for ticket+30 rs ticket and that day we went to riche street i did not buy anything but lime soda 12 rs, and then i went to a friends house near the light house, i was in the beach almost till 8, eat some fastfood on the beach 30 rs and left.Date: 30 Theater: Santham, Mount Road,no programs on 31 and 1st jan.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;AVATAR- I saw it yesterday, and the long wait was because i only wanted to watch it in 3-D and only 2 theaters screened 3-D version Satyam and Inox.&amp;nbsp;Nevertheless, the wait was worth it, got to watch it in a good theater with 3-D and most importantly in english. Story was a bit&amp;nbsp;repetitive, but what made this whole movie different than the others is the graphics and&amp;nbsp;special effects, a new language Na'vi was developed a new planet Pandora was created with it's full plants and animals, people, their religion all was made newly, no wonder it took 10 years in the making. Everything was done to perfection, you will spend most of the time just wondering how James Cameron thought about the planet's anatomy right from scratch, Must watch, 7.5 for story, 10 for it's special effects, average 8.5. Expenditure:120 for ticket, 30 rs ticket,30 rs briyani, then we went to the government exhibition and trade fair, Entrance 10, one ride on the TorraTorra 25 one lime soda 15, then to beach spent some 45 minutes of time over there and bought wrist bands for myself and friends 20 and on the way home snacks 25 rs. But it was a wonderful time.Date: 2nd jan, Theater: Inox, citi center.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Roughly it&amp;nbsp;totals upto 600 rs, and that's some spending for just 12 days for my budget, but as some credit/debit card's tagline says some things in life are priceless, yes it was priceless and this was the best time i had in my life with any of my friends&amp;nbsp;till date.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-8355372827951431915?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/8355372827951431915/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/today-is-last-day-of-vacation-which-my.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/8355372827951431915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/8355372827951431915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/today-is-last-day-of-vacation-which-my.html' title='Priceless Things'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-1989559828999607149</id><published>2009-12-31T19:53:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2010-02-28T16:28:22.288+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Silly stuff'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atheism'/><title type='text'>Mentioned on other blogs</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;My blog other than here and my orkut,fb accounts don't find much mention, but it actually was mentioned somewhere else, here is the proof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SzyrmV-IvuI/AAAAAAAAAG8/wt2BPYCqZIM/s1600-h/bl.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SzyrmV-IvuI/AAAAAAAAAG8/wt2BPYCqZIM/s640/bl.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The 3rd one on that list is mine. So what's it?is the question here is the answer,I joined the Atheist blogroll which is like a community for atheists who blog but only one thing that we have do to stay in the community is to write on atheism once in a while, and that is what i like to do. Anyone who writes on atheism can join there, to join click on the atheist blogroll picture on the top right side of my blog and follow the instructions on the page which it leads to.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp; Of late i have been watching a few good movies, and Chak De India is one of them,this movie is named as the 12th best sports movie of all time on &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/Sections/Genres/Sport/average-vote"&gt;imdb&lt;/a&gt;, and we have 3 of our movies in that list Iqbal and Lagaan are the other 2, while the other two were more art oriented and about cricket,this movie's little less arty and about hockey.This movie is about a coach called Kabir Khan,coach of the women's national hockey team who brings the team from nowhere to victory but his personal hockey carrier was spoiled when he misses to make a&amp;nbsp;penalty goal in a Ind VS Pak match, as soon pak wins, a member of the pak team comes and shakes hand with him in good sportsman spirit but the media takes close-ups of this hand shake and makes it a national issue alleging&amp;nbsp;kabir of match fixing then he leaves his home and disappears for 7 years and then appears on the scene in path breaking style.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This movie had good music,camera work,acting,story etc.As far as i am concerned i always thought Sharukh was a bad actor and that was because that always he acts in those masala flicks mostly and his KKR team publicity stunts(which actually did negative publicity) and most importantly i have not seen many of his movies earlier and that has changed now but the one thing i don't like about this movie is that there is too much of negativity towards cricket, but lets assess we just won one cricket world cup and in present tense cricket is the only sport here,hockey won most of the golds,&amp;nbsp;in fact india has the highest number of olympic medals in hockey but it still can't find a proper place with peoples interests, why? maybe politics.....It's time people stop blaming cricket and see what's wrong with other sport administrations, cricket did well(the admin's of course) to be decorated in this era but what did other sports do?....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; It's too late for me to rate this movie but i will give a 8.5/10.There are equally good movies Iqbal and Lagaan and as far as i remember india has produced 4 bollywood sports movies and three are in the top 15 ,4th movie is goal(john abraham,bips starrer).One movie called "Sye" it's a masala flick,telegu movie,college oriented and rugby based(would you&amp;nbsp;believe&amp;nbsp;that?) is worth a mention a good movie and "Lee" tamil movie, football based did average it had a bad actor to play the lead that's it as far as i remember ok bye.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-4086942569605563899?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/4086942569605563899/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/12/sports-movies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/4086942569605563899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/4086942569605563899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/12/sports-movies.html' title='Sports movies and criticism on Cricket'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SzyPZ9rzbRI/AAAAAAAAAG4/GAeGgx4bfEE/s72-c/chak_de_india1.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-7756400920886513936</id><published>2009-12-28T01:07:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2009-12-28T01:07:37.375+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atheism'/><title type='text'>A Few Theories</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;

One theory of atheism says that the cross in christianity&amp;nbsp;is derived from the shape of the stars,so i just&amp;nbsp;observed the night sky on dec 25 and this is how it looked in the east side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SzeqEaE3yCI/AAAAAAAAAG0/tiX2ezQGv5g/s1600-h/at.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SzeqEaE3yCI/AAAAAAAAAG0/tiX2ezQGv5g/s640/at.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Ok it may be looking gibberish, let me explain, my artistic skills are not so great so just assume that the black and white background is the night sky and yellow spot's are the important stars. The three small stars in the middle are the "orion belt", which many would be familiar with and the two stars to it's left and right, i am not sure of it's names and the bright star at the bottom is called "sirius". This is the theory, on dec 25 the orion belt will be in straight line with the sirius star and parallel to the other two stars, just joining those stars forms a cross. There is another theory relating this which deals with the birth of christ and the three kings(orion belt) guided by a star(sirius) come to meet the lord who gives them light(it's actually birth of a new year from when the sun starts to rise and days get longer than the nights) and when the phenomenon occurs these stars are in a shape resembling the cross.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; So what i am trying to say is that during the olden days when people wrote about certain special things&amp;nbsp;occurring&amp;nbsp;in nature like these, they wrote it down as stories and as age evolved these stories became myth's and the character's involved became gods.There are many other different theories like this and this one is just a small part of the big delusion. Source for this theory is the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNf-P_5u_Hw&amp;amp;feature=PlayList&amp;amp;p=74B7BF0C6173B522&amp;amp;index=0&amp;amp;playnext=1"&gt;zeitgeist&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;documentary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote style="text-align: center;"&gt;Of course, this post is written in an atheistic point if view, so any theist(especially christians)&amp;nbsp;may feel&amp;nbsp;offended , so warning don't read if you are a theist and i am not responsible if it hurts your&amp;nbsp;beliefs and feelings.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

if sachin bats the world is in an absolute stand still , just as if waiting to be taken to glory and attain salvation by the only&amp;nbsp;Saviour(during those times&amp;nbsp;literally it was only him

of the theater after watching vettaikaran,&amp;nbsp;we went to the beach station where we found a hotel to eat and slowly our senses came back, then we went to the beach sat there watching the waves and that too in peace, don't know the reason but there were no&amp;nbsp;disturbances&amp;nbsp;like "anne sudal vaangi sapude anne" or "thambi beach ku vande, verkadali vangu pa" no nothing of that sort, all shops were closed and no vendors at all only the normal public,then we went to the citi center and wanted to book tickets for avatar for shows on 29,30 or 31 but booking was open only till 28 and so we asked to come back on friday or so, we returned home from there and it was one and half hour drive by bus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align:

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;After coming home i quickly decided to watch a movie and this was the movie i saw "Stranger than fiction", and a&amp;nbsp;refreshing&amp;nbsp;difference from the movie i saw in the day, the story is of a I.R.S agent by the name of Harold Crick who lives a lone life full of&amp;nbsp;symmetry and calculations upto the point that he even counts the number of brush strokes while brushing and does the same number everyday, suddenly one day he starts hearing a voice in his head that narrates what he does and the that female voice also once states that he has an&amp;nbsp;imminent death awaiting&amp;nbsp;,he&amp;nbsp;panics and meets a&amp;nbsp;doctor who says that's schizo but he wouldn't listen he meets a&amp;nbsp;literary professor&amp;nbsp;who tries to&amp;nbsp;assess and find what's that voice and in-between harold goes to audit a baker whom he falls in love with and the romance scenes are very well shot where he buys a guitar and sings a song, harold slowly realizes that he is going to die so he just wants to live his life and enjoy it, he want's to buy a guitar and that too which tells about him he finds one not in great shape but a really cool one and karoke's his fav songs and while doing things like that, he finds that a certain women Ms.Eiffel is the voice in his head he finds her phone number and address goes to inform her that she is the voice in his head and asks her how she knows that he was going to die, she says that she's writing a book a tragedy that of the story of the death of a simple person harold, she also finds that as she types the story on her typewriter, the things happen she has already written&amp;nbsp;an abstract of the death but has not typed it yet, harold takes the unprinted book and gives it to the professor who is assessing him, he reads it and tells him that people have to be lucky to get a death of that type,harold very sadly takes the book and reads it fully and gives it back to the author and says he is happy to accept such a death or his life would have no meaning and the story takes a few sudden turns from there that's the story just without the ending i can't write such a beauty i don't deserve writing it nor i can't express such a beautiful ending with my vocabulary and writing skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The imdb link is &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420223/fullcredits#cast"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;it's rated 7.9 as i write this, but it deserves an clear 8.5 above rating these imdb raters are kind of foolish they don't give movies like this one or "&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343660/"&gt;50 first dates&lt;/a&gt;",&amp;nbsp;a good rating, overall this one is a must watch, logic once or twice takes a back seat but you would like it anyways just like "&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120382/"&gt;The Truman Show&lt;/a&gt;" superb movie.I have to mention the graphics used in the movie just excellently done.If i rate it, it's 8.5/10 ,i feel like i am fortunate to watch such movies.Ok bye it's 1:00 already and i need to go to a&amp;nbsp;Christmas&amp;nbsp;party tomo and the 4th odi India vs Sri Lanka match was as good as the movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Spoiler Alert: If you have not seen the movie please watch it instead of reading this, i tried my&amp;nbsp;best not to&amp;nbsp;reveal a lot and did a fair job,but&amp;nbsp;don't read it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

this movie.I saw it at&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;Idream cinemas and luckily we missed the first 20 mins, 5 including me went to the movie and one of them is a Vijay fan(not me), obviously he first said he wont come with us cos, we would make fun of that animal doing gravity&amp;nbsp;defying things but somehow managed to make him come and we tried to stay quite, but others didn't, many were seeing the funny side of those stupid stunts in the movie and vijay's acting no doubt it's funny, c'mon he has the talent to make us laugh in sentiment scenes and cry in his comedy scenes and roll and laugh in his fights, who else can do that other than DR.VIJAY.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Ok leaving the crap behind,the story is this, ravi hails from a village(familier),fails&amp;nbsp;repeatedly in 12th exams and finally passes,comes to chennai to study and complete his ambition that of becoming a police officer like his role model srihari(forgot his character's name in the movie), and he would drive his auto to make money for his studies,he falls in love with anushka(complete crap segment of the movie), she falls in love with him,villian chella abuses a girl who is known to ravi, then what else?, a stupid fight,chella takes severe beating he can't get up for a month while his father vedanayagam(the only real actor in the movie) tries to kill ravi in the place of another person called bomb ravi in an encounter style execution but he escapes by juming into an approx 80 feet high waterfall.First half over....&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; After you have had a 10 min break to breathe and rest from the suffocation you have suffered from watching this movie, the second half starts ,ravi goes to meet srihari to confront him on why he would not come to save him and let it happen to him (heart-break -&amp;gt;;) he finds srihari has lost his eyes because of the main villain and also he was not shot at properly by the encounter specialists cos,srihari told them not to,srihari lost his family and eyes to vedanayaga, than ravi goes to veda and veda instead of killing him on spot veda takes him with him and tells his story how he is person that he is today just by&amp;nbsp;starting&amp;nbsp;as a petty worker at a tea stall and lets him go and not to been seen ever in his life, from next day onwards all of veda's properties start coming down as ravi, now transformed 'police ravi' starts bringing them down(How?,Dont ask this is DR.Vijay's movie) then ravi becomes a big don and does social service then suddenly ravi's love story is known to the villian's and they kidnap anushka, ravi sorry police ravi saves her(severe failure of the gravitation effect takes place though, along with&amp;nbsp;common senses'&amp;nbsp;too) and from then on there is no proper story veda becomes a minister and he is&amp;nbsp;assassinated&amp;nbsp;by srihari(he was blind right?) and movie ends.....................&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Stupid movie, only the villain's character was good, anushka was there only to fill up the&amp;nbsp;glamor-quotient of the movie, logic-quotient was absent,vijay as always damaged the art of acting, comedy was bad, except for the fight's they were very funny and could you believe it a crow could talk in this movie!,music the worst by vijay antony, of course he shares his name with the animal and what do you expect while he's composing for the animal's movie, and what ? rating? you searching for rating for this movie? hahaha i don't rate movies when 1.They are too good, 2.when they are too bad.........cos there would be no use in rating them and this movie qualifies for the second point as listed above......&lt;br

&amp;nbsp;This one's simple one compared to the last post India while playing against the Lankans in the 2'nd ODI used up extra 45 mins of the alloted time and that is not too late to be left off with a fine and Dhoni has been handed a two ODI ban effective immediately and all the team members 40% of the match fee has docked as fine.For Dhoni hater's like me ,we are happy to see a match without him but generally for a normal and neutral fan it's a little sour.None is to be blamed here the referee Jeff Crowe did what was written in the book and the new rules in the book are very strict, Dhoni and his team bowled only 8 overs in the last one hour while the normal rate would be 14-16 per hour. When in pressure, it generally takes time to bowl your overs but 45 mins was a little too much but India had to try their best to win and so it's OK considering the spirit of the game issue. The B.C.C.I won't appeal(very un-BCCI style) the ban or the fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/Sy37tQ1YxcI/AAAAAAAAAGY/LJJCi4hMNPI/s1600-h/Copy%20of%20Dhoni%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/Sy37tQ1YxcI/AAAAAAAAAGY/LJJCi4hMNPI/s400/Copy%20of%20Dhoni%201.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The captain for the next two tests is Shewag&amp;nbsp;and Dhoni will be back for the final match.

The incident was a very normal one, Midge hits one just to his off side and Benn&amp;nbsp;goes to pick the ball up as Haddin tries for a quick single and they collide and an altercation occurs between the both and it is settled quickly but the real incident occurs a few overs later when Benn stops a ball which is hit straight back and aims it back at the stumps on the strikers side while looking at Haddin and then Haddin almost charges upto to Benn saying things and Benn's not to be left behind starts saying things and that too in his&amp;nbsp;Caribbean calypso style when they keep talking to each others Midge enters and puts his head blocking Benn hand and Benn gives him a slight push. Gayle tries to separate Benn and the white boys but it's of no use, the umpires mere look at them as if it was funny. Complaints lodged&amp;nbsp;and the racist&amp;nbsp;referee Chris Broad hands 25% and 10% ban to Haddin and Midge each, but 2 ODI ban on Benn.....Ok i ask this question how would have Chris Broad reacted if he was in Benn's situation? Everyone knows the aussie's racist culture so i have no doubt that they would have said something to Benn, coming back to Chris Broad he would have reacted the way in which Benn had, and leave that why was a ban not handed on the aussie's, maybe cos they are white, that's the only thing i can think of. Similar incident took place in 2007 day 3 of the 2nd test match at Sydney in the series between India and Australia when Bajji was provoked by Hayden,Symonds and co, that's when aussies were told that are the most "Champion Stuff" team in the world. I hear W.I has appealed the ban and most probably i feel that the ban will be overturned when the case falls in the hands of a proper non-racist judge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/Sy31i6rS5wI/AAAAAAAAAGU/ORQwwRrIBJc/s1600-h/benn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="328" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/Sy31i6rS5wI/AAAAAAAAAGU/ORQwwRrIBJc/s400/benn.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;This is my personal opinion so if there is something wrong please forgive my mistake.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-6373643347839784734?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/6373643347839784734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/12/fines-and-bans.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/6373643347839784734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/6373643347839784734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/12/fines-and-bans.html' title='Fine&apos;s and Ban&apos;s'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/Sy31QttgfQI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/Chbl8znoLz4/s72-c/article-0-07A16067000005DC-489_468x412.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-7341407691796856648</id><published>2009-12-19T21:59:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2009-12-20T14:35:30.140+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atheism'/><title type='text'>V for Vendetta</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/Syzr23a9-7I/AAAAAAAAAF0/-Xiq-thnkBI/s1600-h/Natalie_Portman_in_V_for_Vendetta_Wallpaper_4_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/Syzr23a9-7I/AAAAAAAAAF0/-Xiq-thnkBI/s400/Natalie_Portman_in_V_for_Vendetta_Wallpaper_4_1280.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Count the number of V's in that&amp;nbsp;dialog, this movie was released in 2005 so, as far as how good this movie is, i am none to judge, many would have known it by now &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/"&gt;here's&lt;/a&gt; it's imdb page.It's rated 8.2/10 presently and it's listed in the top 250 movies.But why am i writing this post?, whoa! cos i was&amp;nbsp;awestruck watching this movie.Revenge is one of the most powerful concept just because everyone would have got their vengeance at least once in their life, and that feeling just can't be explained and even the title of this movie title has it.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This movie start's with "Remember,remember the 5th of&amp;nbsp;November" in some 17th century where a person called Guy Fawks revolts against the government and gets captured and dies by being publicly hung by the then govt but,he does not die cos "ideas don't die" and that idea is used after 400 years. People forget the importance of Nov 5 when the movie shifts from there to the future some 2040 year.In that future, people don't go out in the evening cos some curfew's have been imposed by the dictator of the U.K Adam Sutler(name rhyming with Adolf Hitler) and a women called Evey Hammond who is on the streets after late gets caught by fingermen(gestapo?),who are the police appointed by Sutler,instead of giving protection to her they try to rape her,that's when the Guy fawks masked, wearing a full sized coat with everything black and shining&amp;nbsp;appears,he fights with them off with some very fancy and impressive swords work and his name is 'V' he rescues the girl with a lot of style and and tells her that fully V'ed dialog above....Why does he wear Guy Fawks mask?and what is his vendetta? watch the movie to find it.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Certain movie's quickly become your&amp;nbsp;obsession and this movie is certainly one of them, and i must say i am really feeling like i am fortunate to watch this movie,it has good camera work,good story,good screenplay,good acting and i just can't see if there is anything wrong in it.Dialog's they are a very integral part of a movie and this movie starts off with a very good dialog(remember,remember the 5th of&amp;nbsp;November), and maintains that quality through out the movie.More importantly it shows how future is going to be ruled by religious fanatics by banning homosexuality and killing Muslims in the name of terrorism and even having a Qu'ran in your house gets you killed and believe me in the future after say a 30 to 50 years later western world will be like that watch zeitgeist you will know what i am blabbing now.It shows how the politics are going to rule the world by removing the civil liberties.This movie has a lot of issues which are really close to my heart and it indirectly deals with atheism and nothing can beat revenge concepts and you can watch this movie just for it's dialog's.And my rating for this movie if i have any qualification to rate, is a sure shot 9.5/10. What a great movie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Die! Die! Why won't you die?... Why won't you die?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;V: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-7341407691796856648?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/7341407691796856648/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/12/v-for-vendetta.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/7341407691796856648'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/7341407691796856648'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/12/v-for-vendetta.html' title='V for Vendetta'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/Syzr23a9-7I/AAAAAAAAAF0/-Xiq-thnkBI/s72-c/Natalie_Portman_in_V_for_Vendetta_Wallpaper_4_1280.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-8321414480250253650</id><published>2009-12-14T17:16:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2009-12-27T18:31:25.651+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Silly stuff'/><title type='text'>Yeppa!!!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I was casually watching Tv yesterday after coming from college when this most idiotic ad campaign came up, i have been hearing about it for some days now but i thought that it was some stupid ad like many&amp;nbsp;others(i mean tata docomo train ad) which appear on tv, but i was shocked and kind of felt like i am an idiot to watch it as i found that it was a 30 mins feature on a few channels. So what is it, it is a ad campaign which is motivated by a foolish group called W.A.L.S (Women Against Lazy Stubble) who push men in their home and surroundings to get a clean shave(lol!). Sounding stupid right, i felt the same way when i saw it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It actually appears on three cnn channels in India(cnn-ibn,ibn7,cnbc) as a 30 mins&amp;nbsp;sponsored feature which exactly copies the style in which a news channel airs it's programs and actually shows how men suffer because of a stubble(hehehe), it makes interviews with those men who had suffered due to a UNSHAVED beard and ask others to&amp;nbsp;opt for clean shaved look(hahaha) and shows the advantages of it(hahahehehaha).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SyMXZyHDOoI/AAAAAAAAAFs/EWIHgHl6DKI/s1600-h/wals.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SyMXZyHDOoI/AAAAAAAAAFs/EWIHgHl6DKI/s200/wals.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Let me tell a few of the most funniest instances in that 30 minute feature i saw, first it shows three celebrities each for a zone who FIGHT so that men in their zone shave(they actually seem to be serious abt it!!!), then they show a person who was frustrated because his gf refused to go for movie with him because he had a BEARD(laugh out loud,roll on the floor), then he appears after a week with a clean shave and his gf readily takes him with her for a movie(i am awestruck!!). Next the sorry story of a college professor, students bunk his classes, they give him red roses for, you guessed it right, he had a BEARD(i am already coughing), then after a week he shaves and the students return to the classes, he say that now students seem to listen in his classes!!!!(because he shaved his beard!!), then a few more instances when a working class person opens his lunch box he finds a&amp;nbsp;piece of paper instead of food inside and "shave or starve"(tears rolling down my cheeks) written on it and a few more like stupid ones like these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Gillette have gone mad where were the days when you signed dravid, federer,tiger(bitch?) for your ad's ,what's wrong with you guys , you must fire the person who gave you this idea and stop this&amp;nbsp;absolutely INSANE ad campaign right NOW. It is negative&amp;nbsp;publicity for gillette considering the money they would have spent for signing up super models/actresses and to get a whole 30 minute slot on India's most watched news channels to&amp;nbsp;publicize&amp;nbsp;this stupid campaign. And more idiotic is that their mach 3 razor is priced at RS.125 and they call it CHEAP and they say that India is queuing up at stores to buy the new and cheap razor and they are running outta stock!!!!.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; After watching that&amp;nbsp;atrocious 30 min program i felt i must do my bit to make fun of it and i think i&amp;nbsp;successfully&amp;nbsp;did it&amp;nbsp;by posting about it. If you are looking for some funny things to watch on tv then i suggest you watch this campaign it's out right funny (women pushing men to shave, what does it matter to them).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://shaveindia.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;is the link for it's site there are timings at which it will aired watch it have a really funny time....Bye guys...Tc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It,s a remarkably proud day for any cricket fan in&amp;nbsp;India, because today is the day which will be marked into history books as the day of ultimate glory in Indian cricket. Test cricket is the game for toughest of hearts unlike the junk food cricket(i.e,T-20,tastes good but can't be eaten daily) this is the proper cricket far more lovelier than&amp;nbsp;any other form. It may seem boring, but believe me tests are the most exciting. This series was very exciting everyone has seen the mini god Shewag play like one was seeing a t-20 highlights, wonderful memories for&amp;nbsp;my lifetime, i have no doubt about this.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It was not single day&amp;nbsp;achievement unlike the junk food wc win in '07, it has been a process and i am really happy that this time 'round every&amp;nbsp;laurel has not been placed at that stupid dhoni's feet(i have reasons for that i will&amp;nbsp;post on that soon), the process they say stared 18 months back as far i am concerned i remember a test win in South Africa, we lost the one day series badly,i think 4-1 loss for us and a t-20 also, but that test win on their soil was the real starter, it set a fire in every cricket fan's belly screaming that we have arrived to conquer each format and we did we were t-20 champs(no credit to dhoni,ask yourself what did he perform there is S.A), no:1 in odi's for 24 hours, and now we are the champs of real cricket too. The series in Aus(jan-feb '08) was very motivating for a any average cricket fan and i must mention Kumble here because he taught others that cricket needs to be played from the heart he&amp;nbsp;undoubtedly&amp;nbsp;was the lone warrior for us most of the time(unlike dhoni who never does something&amp;nbsp;substantial to win),&amp;nbsp;we must celebrate it now or it's gonna be never.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;As a matter fact, the hard truth is that we may only be at the top for 2 weeks. Other than this series there are 6 other teams are playing tests around the world and more worse we have only &lt;b&gt;2 tests&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the next &lt;b&gt;6 months, &lt;/b&gt;and&amp;nbsp;the bcci&amp;nbsp;is interested only in the junk food and the money from it, so they come up with such stupid scheduling&amp;nbsp;ruining a beautiful chance to sustain the ranking, moreover the ranking don't really show the reality, we did not play with S.A in recent times ,S.A deserve to be the top in some way by the end of 2 weeks we wont remain still remain at the top of the ranking chart, so wtf we must enjoy it today.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Whatever happens, how many movies i watch,documentaries i see..ultimately i am more passionate about cricket and then comes atheism followed by anything else even zeitgeist however strong message it may be have had i still fell like, "wtf do i care", so the point here is that i am a cricket freak and i don't care about politics, social welfare those are not meant for me, my genre reads silly stuff and cricket, so never think that once in a while i post about the society and i care about it, at the end still i don't give a damn to it . Maybe i said it a little harshly but my&amp;nbsp;instincts made me write it.Bye guys ,Tc...(i edited it once after the post, it had hell a lot of mistakes and the last para does not have any meaning,Don't read it(i was trying to be funny))......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-2065634425534017835?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/2065634425534017835/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/12/numero-uno-in-test-cricket.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/2065634425534017835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/2065634425534017835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/12/numero-uno-in-test-cricket.html' title='Numero Uno in Test Cricket'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/Sxv76HO1IaI/AAAAAAAAAFI/4df-TjnJuo4/s72-c/24trophy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-6391472091611480600</id><published>2009-12-03T18:23:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2009-12-06T13:26:22.175+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Documentaries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atheism'/><title type='text'>Zeitgeist</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The pic above says it all.The artistic value of the movie is excellent but what was more better was the concept of the movie.This one has 3 parts which are of 3 different genres.&lt;br /&gt;Part I-&lt;b&gt;The Greatest Story Ever told&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What is it?It is god,the light,the saviour,etc whatever, is just a story written by a few people who just took the source from the nature and hence every thing they talk about in the holy books is about nature.If any one is really having ideas about changing to atheism,i personally cannot recommend a better documentry than this one.It deals mainly with christainity but in the process also does a great deal to drag in other religions into it including hinduism, clearly showing how most of the religions are false(but i must accept&amp;nbsp;surprisingly that no where was islam dragged into, still it is all bullshit&amp;nbsp;no doubt) it tells that in egyptian mythology the god for sun was horus and from him the idea of christ was born.The most basic thing is the birth of the christ,now when he was born three kings came to him guided by a star from the east to offer clothes etc(where those kings idiots to follow a star?moving stars happens all the time,and still how did they find the exact location and why did only kings follow and why not others?you got it,it's all bullshit) the star in the east is sirius the brightest star in the northern hemisphere and it comes exactly on the straight line with the orion's belt(group of 3 stars) hence three kings(orion's belt) find the light,saviour,etc(sirius).Bullshit right,and a lot more has been&amp;nbsp;reveled like this in this part.&lt;br /&gt;Part II-&lt;b&gt;All the world's a stage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;This is the most shocking part,this part clearly reveals with proof that 9/11 is a conspiracy with proof i&amp;nbsp;repeat,this is just not a story to story to ignore and all could one do is only wish that it was a dream and not real, impact is the right word, this part just impacts the kind of way which one looks at politics,corporate companies and mostly events like 9/11.The report submitted on the 9/11 incident shows many irregularities which are overlooked like a statement reads"It is not known as to who is the funders of&amp;nbsp;incident,however it is not of much importance"(not exact but meaning is the same) using even my brain which is not even close to considered&amp;nbsp;intelligent tells that it is most important to find the people who invested in them maybe they kept this silent because the govt were the funders and may more shockers like this&lt;br /&gt;Part III-&lt;span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Don't Mind the Men Behind the Curtain&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This one is particularly about the corporations which were behind the ww 1,ww 2,veitnam war and part of U.S in it.It shows the corporations pushed the govt to take part in the war and actually create instances which would provoke a war.The ww I,u.s declared neutrality but the companies benefit the most only from a war,cos it would help them finance to develop the war-destroyed areas,so they made an incident and then blew it outta proportions,if you remember history, you might have a&amp;nbsp;vague idea of a ship with american passengers on board was sunk by german sub-marines,this was the incident it was actually staged the liner was sent into german waters and the germans had other go but to bombard the liner which had&amp;nbsp;ammunition&amp;nbsp;inside it so that if they don't automatically shoot they could provoke or even the blast would be bigger with bombs inside already,similarly pearl harbour and vietnam wars.This obviously shows us that the&amp;nbsp;modern&amp;nbsp;day wars on afgans and iran is just another one like that.This part also deals major-ly deals with the fractional banking system which is an absolute fraud and what they intend to do finally again with solid proof.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I have seen the remastered edition which actually was re-made from the prototype zeitgeist on youtube which was the most viewed for sometime the video is available even on youtube or the full version can be torrents downloaded.I urge, pls watch it whoever reads this and then join the zeitgeist movement at www.thezeitgeist.com. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp;Don't even know&amp;nbsp;what that word means,so wat is it ?It is a documentary that about how the world is mostly&amp;nbsp;occupied by the big&amp;nbsp;corporate companies,it shows how certain government were brought down to just to benefit these corporations,the flaws in the system of money,mind-blowing confessions of people,the venus project(nothing to do with astronomy) and etc.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Quite frankly i did not see many documentaries before a few about atheism,a few micheal moore's documentaries,so i am not in a position to rate this one.But however i can say that this is one the best documentaries ever made and i feel fortunate to have seen.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The first part is with the flaws in the money system,flaws maybe we should not call it flaws in the system,but the system itself as a flaw.This part clearly shows how money is made from nothing and how much blinding faith we have in it(worser than theism).&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The part 2,this is the part where you might just jump off the seat,this part is about the confessions of the economic hitman.The confessions are made by an ex-corporation employee who tells how the governments were brought down,the&amp;nbsp;assassinations,the wars etc as far a i remember,guatemala,panama,iraq,iran were in the list,now one may get the doubt that wat iraq,it is that the corporations were interested in getting the oil and pump that out for their own use,but saddam objected,they tried bribary,he did not accept,they tried to&amp;nbsp;assassinate but he was way too smart to be just killed by a long distance sniper shot,so thay invade iraq in the pretext that saddam was havin weapons of mass destruction and destroy the country fully and now they have a new president under their control,so they can easily get the oil easily same goes with the afgans may be 9/11 was U.S funded may the u.s corporations funded.There are many irregularities which anyone can notice for example,Saddam was hanged secretly,Why?No one knows....&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The part 3,is where you you don't lose hope,you don't neither get a lot of hope but maybe just positively we must believe that there is hope.In this part the venus project is disscussed and a little bit of atheism too.It shows how the world is being brought down by the old ideas or rather the stupid systems which would consider a free thinker with new ideas as a fool.It just shows that the political,spiritual systems support this blasphemy and how the&amp;nbsp;corporations&amp;nbsp;are&amp;nbsp;benefited.The Venus project too is quite stunning too it shows a world in which technology has touched it's core,where money did not exist(money does not exist!!!?) which would eventually put end to most of the crimes happening today considering money and religion are the two main causes of crime.This part is particularly spectacular where they show the efficiencies of the power of renewable energy sources and again the companies involvement in the slow down.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The fourth part and the hardest part where they urge to join the movement and just name the brands that are helping the companies develop that include citybank,jp morgan chase group,they urge not to watch tv news which is filtered and biased but the internet can help us still and many like this.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; After seeing all this i must say, i have a ray of hope now i joined the zeitgeist movement,i will do my bit.starting now.Please watch this&amp;nbsp;documentary and join the the zeitgeist movement&amp;nbsp;www.thezeitgiestmovement.com.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I urge anyone who reads this to atleast check out this website, the print or tv media will never come up with promoting this internet is the only saviour,by the way i jus found out that this one i have seen is only the second part,so i will post after seeing the first documentary also and also Prison Break was based on companies like this.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-5674690459704539550?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/5674690459704539550/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/11/zeigeist.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/5674690459704539550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/5674690459704539550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/11/zeigeist.html' title='Zeitgeist:Addendum'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SxHc-TRnzBI/AAAAAAAAAEY/32Fm9RpyR1g/s72-c/zeitgeist.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-50212835630871636</id><published>2009-11-24T07:55:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2009-12-06T13:25:19.511+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Silly stuff'/><title type='text'>At last the exams are over</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;At last it was over,i finished the last season about a week ago and it was heart break.In the final season it is intense action always running and planning and after all that the deadly thing happens,the lead Micheal Scofield&amp;nbsp;sacrifices his own life to save his girlfriend's life who is pregnant with his child.I was always thinkin that the lead character is not he best actor in prison break but after that last episode i must give up that thought,damn ha acted so good in that episode,i was crest fallen for more than two days after i saw that episode after all the hard work he has to just give up his life that's exactly what i did not want to see as a ending for a serial like this.Still it is ok this prison break what don't expect only happens most often than not.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I must saw this is the best tv serial i have ever seen in my life our&amp;nbsp;Indian&amp;nbsp;serials really suck,but they make good serials and almost all the episodes are good,even in movies every now and then there is a flop but i don't know how all the 81 episodes of prison break they managed to make each and every episode very interesting you could say never one flop episode.It is really different from here the taking is different each season has only about 20 episodes each shot before hand and then aired after the completion unlike here bad performances never ending insanely long stories,you lose track easily but not prison break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I saw this movie at the&amp;nbsp;Albert cinemas recently,and i must accept after a long while i had seen a movie which i liked. This movie is realistic and good to watch.The movie starts from inside the isro rocket launch center where they are preparing to launch a rocket for improving agriculture(how?),by this launch&amp;nbsp;India would become the no:1 in space programs and economy(how?).Then the movie completely moves on to a camp of college girls who are the NCC cadets and their trainer is one of the person belonging to the tribe whom these girls dislike for no real reason and that very person turns out be the hero jeyam ravi.The girls cause a lot of problems to the hero as it is in their nature to cause problems and dhuruvan(name of lead character) takes everything easily and let's them do what ever they want without askin any questions.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; At the end of the camp there is a trekking trip planned and only a select cadets would be taken there and the hero selects the most notorious five those who did not get trained properly.As these girls are a-holes they again get into trouble by crashing the jeep into almost getting themselves killed,then they get stuck into some valley.Since dhuruvan lives in those areas he knows where to go and where not to go,they intially plan to return to their camp by the evening but as i said those girls are real a-holes they again cause trouble and they cancel their plan of gettin home so they build a camp and durin the night one of the a-holes ventures out into the forests,thats when she sees two white men(in which one is roland kickinger the body builder) with latest guns and other military eqipments,she runs back to the tent and tells dhuruvan about the two men,so he doubts that they could mercenaries to stop the launch of the rocket and stop India from becoming the numero uno in space programs and stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The girls then decide that they must take down those two men and it is their responsibility to protect the country even at the cost of their lives this when then the first half ends and the a-holes turn into patriots, from then on it was fully military tactics in fighting using primitive and brutal ways of killing the mercenaries and stopping them from destroying our rocket,meanwhile they lose girls but they about 13 of the mercenaries,and they the reward goes to some idiot finally.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I must this was the only movie in which jeyam ravi ACTED all the others were mere copying.The australian body builder was excellent in his role as the leader of the mercenary,all the girls were de-glamourised and played their role to perfection, music was unbearable, cinematography was one of the best of it's kind the tribals acted well overall kudos to director jahannathan who made a very good movie only if they the producers put in more money it would have been excellent.&lt;br /&gt;DISCLAIMER:Don't read this if u have not seen the movie yet it has a lot of spoilers.&lt;br /&gt;RATING:8 outta 10 if there was more money in this movie then it would surely been a 9 outta 10.&lt;br /&gt;OK Bye guys tc.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I saw this movie two days back when no one was at home,with all lights switched off and the speakers turned to full volume with full bass effect,but you know what? i felt sleepy all the way throught the movie(of course&amp;nbsp;i was feelin sleepy even before the movie statred).I am in no way a person who could judge movies cos i never say "i like this movie",i never get obsessed to no movie star or director,the only thing i am so fanatic about is cricket and atheism i am passionate about both.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The actual point is that how do people watch all those silly horror,ghost story stuff they really suck.I don't mean "The Shining" was bad it is excellent movie no doubt about that,but ain't it silly to believe in all that silly stuff and watch it,anyways the movie i liked it in a way did not find any logic in it but it is ok for horror movies i feel and it was scary,the blood gushing through a hall way that was a good scene, performances were excellent the kid also acted well and one thing i really liked is the cinematography it was excellent the quick zoom to the face was really good and that's i literally fell&amp;nbsp;asleep during the climax of the movie.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

about getting outta the sona prison in panama,which is considered as the most dirtiest and dangerous prison in the world(according to the story).The company wants to get a certain australian called whistler who has to hide in the prison's sewer's so that he can stay alive(that's a whole different story).Then as u know in the end they breakout with some excellent plans but the how is really interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The one thing about this season is that it got a pg 14+ rating which means parental&amp;nbsp;guidance is required,yeah it is gory from the&amp;nbsp;beginning,it has a really gory prison,a severed head lot a fights with lot of blood shed.This season is made of only 13 episodes but the story is conveyed in it.Ok guys i watched the first 10-12 episodes of the fourth and the final season also and still i never feel like it is boring.Bye&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

at the idream cinemas in royapuram.The movie uses a stupid age old child-lost-comeback-home formula which i have seen since i was born and even before i was born there were movies like it.Simple story hero is like a street thug in kolkatta,he does anything for money and with his talent of underwater shooting and jumping from one building to another(copied from district b-13),he becomes famous and rich,one fine day he gets a big deal,he goes to kill a judge who is about to submit his report on findings of a organ selling scam,but he does not kill this time apparently that was the first time he had ever missed a target(lol).The dealer comes askin questions,surya throws the money back at him and swears that he would kill the judge.Then he cons Vadivelu who works as a domestic help at the judges house and get's into the house and plans to kill him,but it happens in such a way that always his targets miss by a whisker.Then the twist he comes into the house only to protect the judge as a bodyguard(it really sucks).Then the dealer plans his own assassination to kill the judge and surya(why?!!) but surya saves him kills the villian.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The initial talk was that it was a very bad movie,but after all it is not such a bad movie,in the first half Vadivelu's comedy is very good,the first half is good and fast paced,the second half is not that good,music is average,Surya as always acted like he was the one who created acting and he looked awesome,nayanthara was ugly as always bad acting and only for the songs.Overall this is a one time watch movie jus enjoy the movie don't expect the logic to be correct always.&lt;br /&gt;MY RATING:6 outta 10&lt;br /&gt;P.S:This review is full of spoiler's so if u have not seen the movie DON'T read this first,jus look at the last para,there are no spoilers over there.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let me get into a little bit controversy recently i watched this documentary named "Prisoners of a White God",by a Czech republican called Tomas Ryska....As myself being an atheist i was searchin for some documentaries on atheism on www.thinkatheist.com when i found this video i downloaded it and watched it, after i finished watching this documentary i felt like i had all the more reasons to be a atheist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sometimes i feel like am i correct in being an atheist and is there any good in this,as far as my understanding about theism i thought that those people had an advantage in doing more good things than people like me because they fear something called a hell and god would save them if they do good oh they fear something called god too,but what is the point if jus fear of someone will make us do good rather than we stay good because we want to be good don't we have something called as conscious......Theism has it advantages into turning a man from really deadly person to a good person but it causes many problems than it solves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So leavin my personal opinions behind, this documentary is located and takes place in two places Thailand and Laos.Young tomas goes to thailand after he graduates in a economics degree to study the tribes of Akha who live in the hilly regions of these countries.He set out normally jus to study their behavior and other things but in that process he finds something stood like a silent demon doin it work slowly and quietly.As a white person he took shelter at a local Christian somekind of a missionary which takes care of the these Akha tribes initially he is first not given access to the whole place but as he stayed on he found things about these homes and missionaries set mostly the whites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The akha tribals remain disconnected from the world for all their life they have water,food,no diseases but all they have to do is hard work to get the food.They follow no rules they worship nature as gods and live a carefree life without a fear,but these apparently good doing missionaries they adopt the poorest person of the tribe and give him food and shelter seeing this other tribes also join them as it looks to be very easy to them no need to go out on search of food in this process only one thing they ask convert to Christianity.They take many kids from the families on the pretext of givin them better shelter and more but what do they do in the name of god is just sin absolute sin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the home where the kids are already converted to Christianity are made to work like slaves in the estates of the person who owns the home in return to their education and health care.Tomas by then gets more reliable to the church members and they start to tell all the inside stories of running these missionaries,the whites who come from the west come here to just in greed of turning all the world into christian world what is the difference between these people and the taliban except for they don't show any violence to the outside world.Inside the missionary tomas finds all kinds of sin slave trade,child abuse, psychological abuse on children and name it and they have it.Tomas manages to get record the conversations inside with a audio recorder because he can't jus take a camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next he goes to the Laos where it is a differnt story it is the government the govt thinks that since the akha's wont come to development we shall bring them down to development.They do what they say capture the akha's ina brutal manner and bring them down from the hills where they start to die due to malaria and other diseases and more worse it has now become a tourist spot for the foreigners...lookin at their plight and makin merry out it,tomas returns to thai to go back to his country and tell the world the two different stories he has experienced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He arranges a small meeting in a restaurant in thai with a certain person belonging to the church who says that he would come forward to give a detailed story,but this somehow leaks out all the missionaries start chasing him tryin to capture him and kidnap him and destroy the tapes and recorded voices but he manages to escape these people and gets to switch on his camera to record a little of his escape.Then he reaches his country and makes this documentary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What was in that documentary happens in all the places even in India,I have heard stories before people telling me that there are people and christian missionaries whose only aim to convert people into christianity it happens in many villages where people can be easily converted and even in my college all these the peons,receptionists, administrators all work here only as a duty to the institution which got them in and converted them and then gave education.All good done only in the name of god actually they do evil.Guess i'll end it here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;DISCLAIMER:I really don't mean to hurt any one religion specifically,if any christian reads this he\she is bound to get offended but i wrote this only show how people do evil in the name of god NOT just that one god you believe in.However all those people who are theists are bound to get offended and i don't care for that...being a true Atheist there is no religion,race,colour,creed,no nothing all are equal just like that Anbe Sivam,theist or atheist don't matter to me.&lt;br

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prison Break'/><title type='text'>Prison Break Season 2</title><content type='html'>The last time i wrote about this tv serial i had watched only about 10-12 episodes of the first season.Now i watched all of the first two season's damn is it good it is f-ing so awesome.One thing really amazes me is that the way in which they land twist right at the eve of the break and killer twist right at the end of the episode over and over again in each and every episode.&lt;br /&gt;In the first season they break out of the prison,totally 8 of them escape the lead character micheal schofield,lincoln burrows,sucre,tweener,t-bag,c-note,j cat,john abruzzi.All of these guys have a reason to break out of the prison except for j cat who is mentally unstable and t bag who is who is a pshycopatic killer others have done nothing really that wrong to get a jail term jus circumstances throw them into the prison.They initially plan to break out with two more guys manche and charles westmoreland but manche gets caught and charles dies at the event of escape but as was goin to die he tells where he hid the 5 million dollers he stole in 1972 before being caught by the police for some different reason.That's the first season they jus break out here.&lt;br /&gt;In the second season the story gets even deeper john abruzzi the person who was supposed to help these guys fly outta the country is the first to get killed by a fbi agent mahone, then the young tweener gets killed by the same agent mahone then t bag starts his killing spree as soon he gets out,c note gets caught,sucre escapes to mexico where his is supposed to marry his lover maricruz,j cat commits suicide that too because mahone really changes his mind to die.This mahone gets his orders from a company which wants sheofield and linc dead so they catch and kill anyone who has been with these guys which effectively makes all the escapees likely to get killed.Then lot's of twists and turns the bro's go to Panama to escape and disappear from the world but mahone being a fbi agent somehow manages to find them in panama but by then the plan has changed and the company does not want to kill now but to escape from the panamanian prison called as sona as he broke out from the american prison fox river penittenciary.That is the second season,it was really good the camera work in mexico and especially panama was really really good and that's it there is lot of story and characters missed above cos i cannot wrote the whole 20-24 episode season in a post ok guys bye try this serial out if u get the chance to it's really good take my word for it bye guys.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

really hate ,that's one of the reason why i hate vijay, copying and spolin the original movie and givin no credit to the original person who made the movie same implies to jeyam ravi and his elder bro.OK,i was talkin about copyin in cricket, so what has cl t20 got to do with it?..... The whole concept is copied,none of it is purely from cricket,it is from football but still lalit modi acknowledges it gives credit to the original concept he agrees("if that above one line makes u think that i like lalit modi,then it's ur mistake,I really hate him"),but other things were copied like the ad of the first season of IPL and the second season's ad was indigenious and was good but not as good the first seasons ad even though it was copied.After readin all this if you are thinkin whats your point dude? here it is..............."They have copied the logo of the cl t20,...copied?from what?from my electronics books...wtf are u talkin about,if that's your question here is the answer with the proof.&lt;br /&gt;Do u see those fins around champions leauge t 20, look closer what do they look like.................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I was swept off my feet..literally but in laughter.." Naan Adicha Thaanga mata, 4 masam thoonga mata" did anyone hear a song before which was sung in the first person view praising one's own style or something like that?.....ok those vijay fan's say there was this song in dhool "Singam Pola Nadhundhu Varan",but that was sung like praising someone else(Anyways that song was in a way funny too) all these kinds of funny antics only occur in vijay's movies,and more funny their fan's try to defend with such stupid reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;BOTTOM LINE:They say Laughter is the best medicine,so pls listen the songs they are seriously funny........Frankly one song is good,two others are really funny(Naan adicha,Puli urumbudhu) others are not good.bye guys&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-33098237790300846?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/33098237790300846/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/09/vijay-un-imitable-comedian-how-stupid.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/33098237790300846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/33098237790300846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/09/vijay-un-imitable-comedian-how-stupid.html' title='Vijay&apos;s &quot;vettaikaran&quot;'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SsAUyPXZuOI/AAAAAAAAABQ/a4W6942T6sk/s72-c/Vettaikaran.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-2767918138124066045</id><published>2009-09-22T07:12:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2009-12-06T13:19:59.450+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movies'/><title type='text'>Unnai Pol Oruvan</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SrgsNCnAa-I/AAAAAAAAABI/hV9MhprEe7Q/s1600-h/Unnai+Pol+Oruvan+-+00+-+Inlay.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384101957071825890" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SrgsNCnAa-I/AAAAAAAAABI/hV9MhprEe7Q/s320/Unnai+Pol+Oruvan+-+00+-+Inlay.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 320px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 271px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently i watched this movie called "Unnai Pol Oruvan", I missed the first half an hour but i was able to understand the movie.This movie seemed to be less than 2 hours not sure about the run time but i should be very less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;First of all the movie uses a already used style of taking, of course it is a remake of the hindi movie "A Wednesday",this movie looks like "Speed" the super hit hollywood thriller,Kamal as ever acted superbly,his character is that of a common man who does things to kill terrorists ,he uses hi tech equipments(goof up,how can a normal man get access to such costly devices like a high end pda,laptops etc) for making phone calls to the police,the roll of police is played by mohan lal who also did a commendable job in the roll of the commissioner of police and black mails him to release 4 terrorists or else he would detonate the 4 bombs he had placed in various parts of the city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I must say this movie is surely not the best movie you would have seen,the only difference in this movie is that the person appearing to be the bad guy turns the good guy in the end.There are no songs in he movie only the back ground music it was good it was scored by shruthi Hasan. This movie plays a lot with the hindu-muslim riots in gujrat and other national issues.The hindi version would run successfully only because it dealt with a more real 26\11 attacks in mumbai. I recommend it only as a one time watch movie because there are many mistakes in this movie and more importantly U wont get the feeling that u are watching a movie at all,my rating is 5.0\10 .     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-2767918138124066045?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/feeds/2767918138124066045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/09/unnai-pol-oruvan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/2767918138124066045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/957582378098699589/posts/default/2767918138124066045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sidsviews.blogspot.com/2009/09/unnai-pol-oruvan.html' title='Unnai Pol Oruvan'/><author><name>Siddhartha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289497591961885879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/TOURFfdpAUI/AAAAAAAAALY/64hT16rhh0U/S220/IMG0371A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SrgsNCnAa-I/AAAAAAAAABI/hV9MhprEe7Q/s72-c/Unnai+Pol+Oruvan+-+00+-+Inlay.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957582378098699589.post-5458316960956034357</id><published>2009-09-22T06:46:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2009-12-06T13:19:16.623+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prison Break'/><title type='text'>Pictures of Prison Break</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SrgmFGBC-WI/AAAAAAAAABA/bkD8beFBlNg/s1600-h/prison_break_ver4_poster.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="400" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384095223477631330" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UGVb4dkZNm8/SrgmFGBC-WI/AAAAAAAAABA/bkD8beFBlNg/s400/prison_break_ver4_poster.jpg" style="float: left;

It is about a person called Micheal Schoefield who is a class topper in some top university in the U.S gets into a jail to plan a prison break and in the course save his elder brother Lincoln Burrows who is going to be put on death sentence in one month.&lt;br /&gt;Micheal appears to be an architect and his whole body is filled with tattoos which actually when you look closer it shows the blue-print of the jail which he and his bro are imprisoned and the tattoos also contain other details of his escape he get's into a lot of trouble inside the prison getting what he wants, fights with inmates and other stuff.&lt;br /&gt;I have just watched 8 episodes till now and it is breath-taking how this serial was made.I was always of the impression that serials can never be good and courtesy regional serials they really suck,but this one is really different it holds your interest in every episode and u will be wanting to watch the other episodes....This thing but it appears similar to the movie "Shawshank Redemption" but that was slow and based in some 1920's to 1950's and this one appears modern and really fast and both guys use their brain to get out.&lt;br /&gt;That was also a great movie which had an twist to the end but his one is having new twists every single episode...So guys that's it for now I suggest you people watch it if you get it in a DVD or download it you wont regret wasting time downloading it cos each season comes in about 7 gb.Ok guys Bye for now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

blog.A few days back i was thinking about some kind of medium so that i can burst open my idea's and i thought that blogging was a good idea.Actually i happened to see one of my friends blog that is www.twelfthdimension.blogspot.com it is Inchara's blog which inspired me to have my own blog of course you will understand once you visit his blog why i was so interested...it was like a masterpiece of a blog so i thought if my friend can create a blog like that why not me.Atleast Inchara knows a lot about Astronomy,what do i know?...Maybe nothing or may be i do know something,may be it's hidden inside me....Ok cutting the crap i will be writing anything in my blog as and when an idea comes up all the movies i watch and guys i am a hell of an atheist i will surely be posting a lot on Atheism.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/957582378098699589-7918136938908357294?l=sidsviews.blogspot.com' alt=''
