Mucho Gusto :)

Well, its been a pretty long time since I have logged in. Reasons: Work load, Family functions, Personal disappointments etc etc. Well they are just reasons. I could have written something if I had wanted to, but as I said earlier (much earlier) I am not much of a serious person when it comes to blogging.

So whatz up now which has made me come back :), you might wonder. Absolutely nothing. I just thought of blogging and here I am. Every time I saw a good movie or heard a good song, I thought I will write it down here. But somehow I never got to it. So let me make it short.

I had the opportunity to see some very very good movies (according to me) in these times. To name a few: Saroja (Tamil), In Pursuit of Happiness (English) , The Recruit (English), Arlington Road (English), The Perfect Stranger (English). Among these "In Pursuit of Happiness" and "Arlington Road" really moved me for a certain rawness in its treatment. Particularly Arlington Road. I never thought the movie would end that way. But that is how it happens everywhere in real world isn't. God, it does scare you for some time.

One movie which I am eagerly waiting for and which is getting delayed is Harry Potter. How I wish they could complete the movie soon and get it released faster. Just two more movies and they are dragging the dates (whatever might be the reason). The trailer is really good as usual. But hope it lives to its expectations.

Most of the movies which are adaptations of the book, doesn't live up well to the expectations set by the book. And Harry Potter is one such example. I have always loved the books and hated the movies for the way they are taken except for the first three series. But somehow DaVinci Code was above average in that case. I hope even Angels and Demons (trailer is awesome) does well.

Ok, have got some work to do.
But before that here is a link, which might help you.


how to deal with disappointments



Why this ? because it exactly tells what I had gone through in the past week. I expected something to happen for the first time in my life and booooom, it banged. I did feel hurt, but I let it go. I cannot keep whining about it. So left it and hope that it would come back some time later when the time is perfect for it to happen.

I dont know why I remember these things, but I do. Once Rajnikanth (Superstar of Tamil Filmdom) told in his film function, An elephant, having fallen, takes time to get up, but not a horse. It gets up just like that. I am a horse. (Context: his earlier film Baba failed in box office and people wrote him off and these lines were told in the 100 days completion of his next film Chandramukhi, which broke records)

Ok, that is all for now. CUL
