Show Time


Smallest movie theatre I have ever seen

One movie theatre I saw in Sringeri. This is by far the smallest movie theatre I have ever been. Wonder what do they use to screen the movie??
They are playing Evil Dead Part 2 and another Kannada movie. Interestingly the name of the Kannada movie roughly mean "Aunty is Naughty". My first impression was that it would be one of those soft porn movie starring the greatest of all soft porn star in south India " Shakeela" . But interestingly I later learned that the hero was a mainstream Kannada actor and heroine is a mainstream south Indian actress. The aunty they were referring in the movie had some horrible disease and she is going the die!!

Why rock?

While having dinner yesterday my friend suddenly asked me a question.
"Why do u like rock music?"
"What in rock music makes u like that?"

I tried to answer him telling about the lyrics, guitar, the way they sing and stuff like that . But I felt I was just beating about the bush without making any real sense.
At the end I just gave up, telling him that I could not explain it.

I just thought abt this some time later.

Being somebody who was brought up in kerala, southern most state in India,I was not supposed to like this kind of music.
All my life I was used to the malayalam film songs which were slow and were based on melody.
I think people who has listened to that kind of music will understand what I mean.
There used to be a time when I used to listen to Backstreet boys, Boyzone and that kind of stuff which were slow and was kind of 'feel good'. They were some what similar to the bollywood music which I was supposed to like. Nowadays, I hate to hear the name of Britney and I do not listen to them at all.
Somehow I started hating these songs which I was supposed to like.

Just went through my winamp playlist, I see more Bon Jovi, Green Day, Linkin Park, Eagles, Nickelback than any pop artist.

Most of these songs in no way can be classified as 'headbanger'
kind of songs. So I can never say that that these songs gives me that adrenalin rush. or make me bang my head.

They in no way are 'lovely' and slow songs. I can't
classify them in the same ranks of the malayalam songs or Bollywood songs ( Obviously even comparing them is ridiculous).

Even though I like the lyrics in many of these songs, sometime I
do not listen to them just for lyrics. So It is not always the lyrics.

Many of them do not always have cool guitar performance, so it is not the guitar always.

So, it is none of those reasons I explained to him...
May be it is the combination of all of these.

It is ironic that I can listen to those lovely old malayalam songs with the same interest that I have when I listen to Linkin park.

Do I genuinely like these songs? I guess so..
But, What makes me like them??

The boy at the cafeteria

I used to see this kid in the food court almost everyday.
He was about 10~12Yrs old. He was responsible for cleaning up the table after we complete our lunch. Everyday he used to stand there waiting for us to leave the table.
His face always evoked a feeling of guilt in me.
Here I am doing some junk work wearing sparkling clean clothes, using latest gadgets and eating some overpriced "Chinese" food which would surprise even the Chinese.
There is that guy standing there wearing a soiled shorts and shirt, without having his lunch waiting for me to complete. I once asked my friend about this boy, His answer was "If you ask him any thing, he will say that he is 18yrs old". I wanted to ask him about his family and education, but somehow never did that. I blamed it on the fact that I did not know his language,was that the real reason?? Was I part of the list "assholes" who just watch and pity without doing anything?? I don't know.

I don't see him nowadays. He might have found some other job with a better pay. Still, there are some questions in my mind left unanswered
Does he goes to school??
Is he the only source of income to his family??
Does he have a younger sister who might be waiting for him to come back home everyday so that she can play with him??
Does he have a mother to look after him??
I don't know.. But still
I should have....I could have.....

valentine's day of a loner

I was woken up by the loud ring of my friend's mobile, wondering to
myself who might be calling him soo early in the morning.
I got the answer by his response " happy valentine's day...my dear".

I thought to myself "OK.. good morning loner".

Got ready and off to office...

The flower shop on the way way bustling with activity.
Usually every other day there would be nobody to buy the
flowers at that time and the guy in the shop would be sitting
there idle.

In office, I was welcomed by those mushy mails forwarded by my friends.

Tried to forward one of them the to a girl on whom I had a crush before.
It went as if it was sent to a blackhole...

My BOSS is back, and we got in for project the meeting.
The first thing he asked was 'U guys can leave early today as u might be having
some plans for the day'. All my colleague's were like 'Oh Wow...' and
I was like ' Oh..No'.

Back to work.. again

As usual tea in the cafeteria was 'me with nature'... and all the couples
enjoying coffee were staring at me as if I was an alien..

Tried to checkout the office beauty and she was looking through me as if I was
invisible.

Somehow completed the work and was back to home in the office cab.

The cab driver turned on the radio, and I thought may be the music might calm me down..
"Oh Boy how wrong was I"...

They were playing some valentine's day special on the radio with all the lovers in the town wishing each other....
"Blood hell don't they have anything else to do"??

Turned to the guy next to me for an earplug and was responded with an angry stare
as he was on the phone talking to 'u know who'.

Was feeling hungry and called up my room mate for dinner, and obviously I should have known
he had "other plans"..

Back at home, switched on MTV for some music to find out that they were playing
nonstop bollywood love songs all day long, thanks!!!

As I was lying there staring at the roof and suddenly my phone's message tone rang...

Ran to check which lucky girl it was, just to find out that it was from my
mobile service provider telling abt their new plan to suck more money from me...

Looked around to find out that all my room mates have settled in different corners of the room with
their mobile in hand, talking to their "sweet hearts".

They have made a telephone booth out of the house...

Thinking that sleep was the only way out,headed for my bed.

Somewhere in my sleep I heard someone shout

"Change that channel, I want to listen to
Everything I do, I do it for you !!! "

Plane crash

Two days before, a plane crashed near my office!!.
It was a small IAF trainer on a routine flight with two people on board.In between the engine stalled. It hovered around our office building
just to find a place to crash land. Then they found a small field near some houses
and the plane crashed with a huge explosion and fire. Thank god, the people in
the plane ejected out of it just in time.
All my friends were excited that it has happened near our office and went to see the
wreckage.
Somehow it made me uneasy. The pilot could have easily ejected from a
safe altitude to save his life. But still he tried his best so that it did not
crash on our office.
if I were in his place, would I do the same???No Idea...
It just felt weird. May be because of that guy's mercy I am still alive.

Thank god they are alive and only one of them suffered injury. The other
was so shaken that he did not get in the IAF chopper which came for rescue and
was insisting on the ambulance to pick him up.

Quake

After a long time, I played Quake.
It felt sooo.. Good. Carmack still rocks!!
Of late it seems like I have become less of me and
more of some pathetic looser.
But when playing Quake, I felt like I was back to my real self.
The guy who enjoyed playing a hardcore quake session more
than any other crap. It makes me forget abt all the boring things that
happens in life.

Crazy thoughts and Universe

Somedays before, I was going through a posting on
my friend's blog. He was writing abt his idea on reality and stuffs.
Somehow I was able to relate his idea with my idea of time and future and stuffs
and my crazy interpretation of Stephen Hawkin's original ideas.

May 'Stephen Hawkin' forgive me!!!

Is there anything called future??

Why do we apply newtons' law of Physics to the thing around us,
apply Heisenberg uncertainty principle to all those particle
in the microscopic level and similar theories in defining the
behavior of the universe??

Why does the Einsteins's principles and uncertainty principle not
used in the life of ordinary human being.

If the photons that fall on a particle can affect the moment and velocity of the particle,
then is it possible for the energy in the universe to affect our life??

Then.. What the astrologer says is right or what??

When it is possible to predict the future of the universe even with all the
chaos inside, why is it not possible to predict abt the future of the human being??

Is the future of human life not predictable, like a particle's velocity
and momentum under uncertainty principle?.

I think there is nothing called fate. It is upto u to decide the future.
The external factors will always try to change it.
But if you can change it back to the way u want it to be, then
the normal laws will never be applicable to u. As u can always counter-balance
the effects of the world around u. May be u can even start changing the things around
u. U can bend reality, predict the future, create reality etc.

Go Goa....

I always loved traveling.
Sometime before, me with three of my friends had been to goa.
I know ppl used to say was Goa was an awesome place and things like that.
But u should be there to enjoy the place. It was soo.. cool.
The place reminded me of kerala, But this place had different charm to it.

The beaches were really nice with nice soft waves and the backdrop of those
hills which made them look more beautiful.

The night life was awesome. At one side of the beach there will be ppl dancing away the
night to some cool songs played by a DJ, on the other side there will be ppl sitting
on the beach in candle light listening to somebody sing Bryan Adams song.

In old Goa, the houses reminded me of some village in Europe. The buildings were
painted with bright colors and were built in a style that u only see somewhere in
Europe.

I was really disappointed that I could not take much pictures of those buildings
as I was running out of memory in my memory card.

The most interesting were the ppl of Goa. They were really warm
and friendly, There was no comparison with the ppl of bangalore.
They never cared abt what u are abt to do, or what language u are talkingor what u are wearing or things like that...

We never had any idea where to go and what places to see etc.
We used to ask the local ppl abt the nice beaches nearby and the places to visit.
They would tell us about some nice places nearby and, off we go....

Life should be like that.. Seeing new things, meeting new ppl...
Not in those artificial concrete jungle, in front of those glaring
monitors that looks as if it is gonna swallow u alive..

It was one of the nicest time I ever had...

onam...cont

:-)
remember me crying about "onam sadhya" last time???
I could have it !!!
Yesterday was working day in office, my friend and his colleagues setup a
plan to go for a "onam sadhya" hosted by "Kairali" restaurant( Junk fellow.. he is still
jobless and has time for everything). He asked me if I was interested in it, I was of course interested :-))
but getting my lead's permission to leave early was another issue, I was determined that
at least on that day I am not gonna have that cafeteria food. So anyway asked my lead.
and she readily agreed( she is not that bad after all.. ). One of them had a car so getting to the restaurant was not an issue, but getting inside was... The whole place was so crowded that I felt like the whole of the city was there for the feast. Luckily one of us had a friend in the restaurant and through that contact got a place to sit.
Seeing the babana leave getting filled up with all the curries of different colours was like feast to the eyes ( now ya guys in other parts of the world will be like "banana leaves ??!! yek", but try that once and ya're gonna luv that).
Had awsome food after a long time
any way it was an awsome day.... I can still smell the "payasam" now...:-)

onam

tomorrow it is onam back at my state and me ....
sitting in the office working. The thing that makes me sick is the "sadhya"(feast). When all my
friends back home will be eating nice meal with payasam and all, I will be sitting in the
office cafeteria eating the same old crap by the sucking caterers. Oh my god what a fate :-(

work

sometime just feel like life just drags along without any meaning.
May be it is because of my work. It has started becoming more mundane, more boring.
My lead just tell me to do things again and again without analysing the whole problem.
I just feel sick sometime....

First Spawn

I have never been a net buff. Never cared abt chatting or blogging or anything. Still i do not know why am I doin' this. May be the boredom of not having any work or the sequence of events that changed my outlook abt life or the pain deep down inside that want to express itself or blah...blah...blah...
may be I will post a lot of things or may i will never come back who knows!!! and who cares!!!!
I just felt like typing some crap and i am doin' it.
