Leelai

I watched this movie "Leelai". It was  a very nice, light and romantic movie. The time just flew by watching this movie. It was very neat and the new faces were refreshing. I like Santhanam's comedy and he did fine. It is a well directed movie and targets the young audience.

I am hooked up to this song ever since I listened to it. I am playing the song in repeat mode and is constantly in the background of my head.

I am thinking of watching the movie for the second time. lol.......

There was a time when internet was a costly affair. I had a dial up connection at home during my engineering days. I used to check my emails twice a day for not more than 10 minutes each time. Most of the times the phone line worked disastrously and I ended up going to a cyber cafe.
When my cousins went abroad, it was very difficult to catch up with them. I think it was early days of broadband when Yahoo introduced video chat and it was little too much to do a video chat with webcam on. However we managed to do video chat with my cousin to see the little one.

Today when I want my parents next to me or talk to my sister like before, I can hardly think of some time off to go be with them. There are so many factors that go into planning a trip and working it out. Many of you like me might not get to meet family often.
But skyping is definitely very comforting when someone can easily talk or see people who live far away. Happiness, crying, anger, sadness, yelling everything is over the phone. All the more an Iphone with the skype app is like a boon for me. I get to at least video chat and the days just pass by.
It is definitely not being in person with someone but the very least better in some ways. Someone said that out of sight is out of knowledge. Anything like skype reduces the weird meaning in the saying.

Sometimes it is better to choose to be happy and console oneself ignoring the worrying part. Although I miss my parents and sister, I think about the goodness in getting to chat.

Time has changed from internet being costly to eating and sleeping on internet. I can't imagine a day without internet. May be I should tell internet is elixir of life.

A neat jingle

I totally love this jingle from the Tamil movie unnale unnale... It's a beautiful movie as well..

I hate him as much as I love love him... Sometimes I feel he doesn't have ears, eyes and is too old. If he ever thinks about what I have to say he would show it in his actions and assure me. May be he is too busy and I am in his bottom priority...

I am still with you my beloved turban master.

AkkamPakkam

This is a song that I sang in a tamil mandram. I have uploaded the rehearsal version of it.

Great Restart

“*Doubts and difficulties surround us just to move us and confirm our
faith. We are tested as it were*.” – Sri Sai Sacharitra, Ch. XXIX.

Thomas Edison lost two million dollars’ worth of equipment and the record
of many years’ work, when his laboratories were gutted by fire, in 1914.
Edison’s son, Charles, found his father standing near the fire, his white
hair blown with the winter wind. His heart ached for his aged father.
Edison saw Charles, “Where’s your mother?” he shouted. Bring her here, she
will never see anything like this again as long as she lives.”
The next morning, walking among the ashes of his hopes and dreams, the
67-year-old Edison said, “There is great value in disaster. All our
mistakes are burnt up. Thank God we can start anew!”
There spoke a man with the friendly attitude towards life and its
happenings.

What a great way to think like Edison. As long as we have our focus set right, the hurdles should never hinder us.
Like my master says Shraddha(Faith) and Saburi (Perseverence) is needed.


Bow to Sai and peace be to all.

After a very long time, I have made good friends at work. I meet lot of people everywhere. I like to meet different people, know them and read them.

Learning about people is always fun. I try to understand their minds, approach them knowing their frequency.

I seamlessly move with some people and it has been very difficult to understand some of them. In some situations I move away from people whom I cannot get along with.But definitely knowing people is a good experience.

I also hear people ranting for various reasons at various times. How do you feel when someone rants ? Do you feel sympathetic ?

Or do you feel motivated that you are in a better situation than them ? How should one feel ? I am clueless at times when I do not know how to react when people tell how bad they feel about certain things in their lives.

I have had a war within myself to react well and be patient to listen to what others have to say. But I also feel that everyone has difficulties in their lives.Sometimes people forget to count the blessings and talk about their difficulties as though its end of life.

For each of us our difficulty appears like giant mountains. There will be no fruitful outcome in comparing each others difficulty level.There are some of us who rant openly and there are some of us who keep our worries within ourselves.Those who do not open up appear as though they are very happy but that doesn't mean the person does not have hard feelings.

Learning psychology and reading minds is very vital. I try to understand people's mind and react accordingly. All that I see is there is problem everywhere.

Most of us conveniently do not understand others but expect others to understand us all the times. I think being sensible about what we are complaining, to whom we rant and putting ourselves in others shoes will help us realize the reality better. What else can I think of ? May be doing this will help us to be better individuals.
