BACK TO BUSINESS
After quite sometime, got back into watching movies like I used to... The last 3 days, i've seen 3 movies, a bad, a good and an average movie, not including the worst of all NEW (S.J.Suryah starrer), I'd started to watch and felt, the best thing i'd ever've done in life is not watch it, and one of the best comedies in tamil of all time, AvvaiShanmughi
The first one was, Kill Bill 2, probably, one of the worst movies ever made in the history of Hollywood, honestly speaking, even Sathyaraj makes better movies than this... No logic, no action, no comedy, all that it has is nonsense. Painfully slow for any movie watcher.
Second - 3 deewarein - i've had a preconceived notion for years now, that hindi movies are almost always bad, with exceptions ofcourse, and telugu ppl can't conceive anything nice ever... but, this movie was a way lot different, it was a hindi movie by a golt and it was nice. It made sense thru out, it wasn't boring and brought out some useful points for the society, only some ppl who have to watch it, 'd never do... Hats off to Nagesh Kukunoor, i've seen 3 movies of his and have liked all of  'em.
Last - Man on Fire - Another of those desi movies, u can't kill the hero with just a few bullets concept, but,  the 2 hrs went by without my ever waiting for the movie to end. Excellent performance by Dakota Fanning.. not a bad way to kill time
Other than these, also saw Spiderman 2, another waste of 2 hrs, in my opinion, not very far behind KB2.
Now, there're a lots more waiting in pipeline, Bourne Identity will be today's show...
obVSly...
P.S: Its all my opinion, pls don't take 'em for granted

IS IT ALL ABOUT MONEY?
Thanks rapi for helping me complete my vacation away from blogspot...
Before I proceed, CONGRATS FIGGI ON UR NEW JOB
There has been one question which has been niggling me all the 26 years I've lived (actually, I just completed 26 two weeks back and have been pretty busy with my thesis work, which is now very close to completion and hence had forgotten everything abt blogging), why are ppl so very crazily behind money? And with every passing day, I begin to realise its importance, without compromising on my principles.
Being a Randian I'd always believed in living life for my own happiness, satisfying my own needs and giving least thought abt ppl around me. The greatest factor in this philosophy is, I don't consider anything mean, and wud never hesitate to do anything, if that'd give me the joy I am seeking. So, I can neither complain abt anyone doing anything, 'cos, that'd just be against _my_ principle and cud very well be his, like ppl trying to get a job with someone's influence, backlitterers and the parasites I'd mentioned a few blogs back. I just need to enjoy the '70-80' expectancy as I want it and for that I need to have enuff money, just enuff money to keep me kicking the way I want to. Bill Gates or an Azim Premji have lost one thing, the peace they'd have otherwise had if not for the money.
Alavukku adhigama kaasa vechukkittu adhu thiruttu poidumonnu kavala pattukkutte vaazharadha vida, thevaiyaana alavukku kaasu vechikkuttu, kavala illaama vaazharadhu thaan enakku venum ;)
romba kadiya pottuttennu nenaikkaren... shall get back actively into this after my defense, till then, lemme spare y'all
