Finally I respond to the Wake-up call...
been long...really long.someone was actually considerate enough to remind me that atleast eight countries have witnessed a change of government ... and if i continued this way,my next post would be read by an entirely different generation-newspaper names,taste for rock,names of terrorist groups...and even the sexual preferences in some country would have changed.
Though I have been cribbing all along about not finding a topic to write on(which will be re-re-reitrated by the content of this post), a lot-supposedly-has happened over tha last few..hmm..hours..which went on to become days..and then weeks.
Ofcourse there was all tat drama at the Centre...with Mr.Ulloo trying for almost every portfolie(reuters claim he mentioned post of PM too..once).Finally we settled things by giving him the largest and most funded industry in India.Mr.Lalloo ofcourse was straight into executing his duties...as he declared "Rail travel wasnt safe in the past.Henceforth it shall be safe". He clarified that he had the interests of common man-the middle and lower class,so to say-in his mind when he released the new budget with an increase in rail fare.He also said corruption in awarding the contracts in railways are some other issues in his agenda-this is,as i wud phrase it "aandavanukku thaan velicham".
Meanwhile,halfway across the globe,USA is fighting the 'gay'issue for now it seems like the battle is almost lost- "we are gay-resistance is futile" said the banner at the gay pride parade.And now there is a TV Channel dedicated just for them...with shows such as G.A.Y.S,Everybody loves Gaymond,Scrub,Gaywatch and Will and Gays(actually will and grace too).With this bush administration has failed on all fronts....and with Moore's next movie round the corner...nothing seems to be going his way.
On the movie front, there were a few releases...Harry Potter miserably failed to kindle any kind of interest-of any kind-the third flop in a row,but this one not the worst.Then there was Shrek2..which i totally loved(yea wini-i will bring the movie when i come to madras).There is vasoolraja and Anniyan(abt which i havent heard for a long time now)to be released soon...but currently its a drought phase.
Talking abt drought phase...madras weather seems to getting more pleasant by the day...rainy season round the corner looks like...jus hope i reach madras jus in time to enjoy the brilliant transition weather..breezy days..cloudy...little rain and overcast otherwise...perfect setting for oor suthal and play thruout day!(not tat i wudnt if it were hot)
Out here...and in other places in the world too...its time for some big time losing the money spree,intercepted by small profits as betting for euro'04 kickstarts.I saw the first victim today morning,my friend at work who lost his first 100 dollars for this season on the Eng-Fra match.

A final note...unconfirmed news from my friend at work-the western stall at CanA will still be open-just shifted to the place where Jap stall was all along-not sure of this news though-but is definitely good news.
