IPL is fun

Just saw Chennai Super kings Trashed by the Bangalore Royal Challengers. Seeing Rahul Dravid Actually doing a ganguly act of jumping and celebrating was really surprising. Just tells us to what extent IPL has changed indian Cricket. there was an interesting poster by some unknown guy who had written that bangalore royal challengers were best only for their cheerleaders. All i can think of saying is "Dude!! i empathize with your feelings mate". But for this poor chaps two minutes of fame my concentration was all in cricket. it was really revealing to see fleming and parthiv patel play football.I have always maintained that chennai junta are multifaceted the fact that they played football, dodge ball, basket ball, and catch practice in the middle of a cricket match is proof enough. i really admired royal challengers. their cheer leaders were amazing, and i am sure they would get sued soon. i am very happy for Mr. Vijay mallya, sad that he must have been sloshed up by the time Bangalore RC won. Before you people go...whats wrong with you ... Disclaimer: i am in a block. Especially so after i found that my previous 10 point review of santosh subu got deleted because firefox crashed. I hate firefox. I double hate Scribefire. Technorati Tags: IPL, Chennai Super Kings, Vijay Mallya, RC, rants

Grisham is God

Just finished "The firm" by John Grisham and am in love with his line of stories. My love for law fictions started and ended with Earl Stanley Gardner (perry mason). Never new it will have a rebirth in Grisham. Unlike the 200 page crisp stories of Gardner, Grisham is longer on details and tends to be tad boring. but if you are really into the story then there is no stopping. (finished a 600 page story in 8 hours straight). He is similar to Aurthur Hailey, only far more interesting. I had previously read two of his book, 'the last juror' and 'the king of trots' a while back, i remember it to have being a long read , but then that was the time when i did 7 perry masons a week :). Anyways "The Firm" and "The Broker" are good reads. Can some one suggest me any other books ? And can someone lend me a perry mason? sudden urge to start reading them all over again :) Technorati Tags: books, perry mason, grisham, stanley gardner, the firm, the broker

Observations

Inflation is at an all time high.. proof? subbaiya bajjis cost Rs 0.50 more from what it was previously ... what can an average adyaritte do if essential commodities become dearer? and for all those who say try out McD's veggie McGrill well its like that queen (whose name i forgot) who asked her subjects to eat cake when they demanded bread.

Chennai Bloggers meet

Sagaro had tweeted about a chennai bloggers meet happening on the 8th of this month. Apparently microsoft the software biggie is sponsoring it. Never heard till date of any bloggers meet being sponsored by microsoft. i have my strong hunches that it might be a pirated sponsor :P. Anyway if it is the genuine microsoft (with the hologram and a long keystring contianing a 32 bit meaning less key that took a year to develope and an hour to hack) then we should all probably go. Enjoy hot bhajjis (nope not harbajan) on microsoft and talk generality like, how microsoft is source hoarding and the world must go open source :P . Talkking about microsoft, the most reported and sensational story for the week, after ofcourse the topper which was about how sreesanth had developed a bruised cheek after being cheeky is about microsoft walking out of the Yahoo deal. The only thing that confuses me is on who showed the finger to whom whether it was yahoo to microsoft or microsoft to yahoo. but one thing is for sure, there is a KD monkey enjoying this cat fight. P.S today i completed four taxing years of engineering education. Am as clueless about the subject as how i was four years ago, in the first day of calss.

Movies i have to watch out for

more than just a blog post, this is a self-reminder that i have to make up for the four years of engineering, in which time i must have stepped into a cinema not more than half a dozen times. and the fact that one of those movies was veerasamy does not help at all. Am waiting to get done with the last exam on may 6th in my list of must watch are 1) santosh subramanium - been ages since i watched an urban romance pic, the last one was Ah AAh by S.J.Surya, i loved the story, pre-intermission. beyond that it was a failed mission. 2) Dasavataram - for kamal, and just to satisfy my curiosity on how the team is going to pull of a 10 role kamal script. something tells me this might just about become a nasty flop. 3) .. 305 il kadavul - want to see first hand how it is. Prakashraj sure seems to be alluring but santhanams quips sounded as Pjs in the teasers. 4) kuruvi. - to just get the feel of the theater. i want to see how a vijay movie is screened. Theevara vijay fan and classmate maheshwaran says that it will be fun, music and dance ....and ofcourse latthi charge. Talking about latthi charge, i am still wondering what made kamal hasan bring in jackie chan for the audio release... he seemed like a sunil gavaskar in a T20 cricket..

Observation of the day: A good newspaper is one that reports all the news. A better newspaper is one that reports all the new correctly. The best newspaper is one that reports correct news without bias. A sad newspaper is at times also called "The Hindu"

Chennai Super Kings?

Wokay!! after six whole years today i braved to see a cricket match, well the maggi noodles format of it, as TOI put it, And i must admit cricket aint boring after all :) And i heard that betting is sort of legal with the IPL. So if that is true, then i would like to bet all my wealth (which includes two seven o clock razors, a tooth brush, a comb and nothing more) that atleast five octogenarians will conk out because of the sheer blood pressure rise. We should probably suggest IPL to cross subsidize the union Health Department by making the emergency patients watch the last over of the match free of cost. I am sure it will make any heart beat over time ...err extra time ...whatever... its slightly disappointing that we dont have many tamil speaking players in the team....but always Jacob can say "Oram Po".
