To MY bro !

2008-10-07T10:28:00.000-07:00

Just today evening my bro let me see his blog. I was spellbound looking at it. Just not beautiful, it actually had some cool content !

Reading it and checkin it out i was reassured my bro will surely engage himself in a very worhtwhile way !

For those newcomers who havent yet seen his blog, here s the link. Click here, here or even here.

I M so not F !

2008-08-26T05:20:00.000-07:00

The other day I was staring at the mirror, I found myself a lot slim, looking more energetic (People who know me well can get the point), more ecstatic and more alive. When I snubbed someone the other day for complimenting me that I look like Roger Federer, I thought it was just another of the comments that my friends make to get access to my secret account which gets 1000s of visitors each day. And starring at myself on the silver frame again I reassured that I looked all the more like me only and not even a decimal percent like F.

Dasavatharam SUCKS @@@#$%^#$%##%^

2008-06-18T11:16:00.000-07:00

10 different characters...tons and tons of makeup on the lead actor....some 600 days of work...and some 100crores of Rupees down the drain...DASAVATHARAM SUCKS !

For those who havent seen the movie yet and who wanna see it just cuz of the hype thats been generated in the media, my sincere advice is, dont hav any expectations. Better dont watch it !

Story seems to be written just to include 10 Kamals (different characters of course). One witnesses how the plot (it hardly has anything like that) is so designed to incorporate the ten characters and how these characters have their significances. In the process one sees innumerable coincidences to bring the characters together !

One such instance in the movie is when the Hero Kamal takes in K R Vijaya to a hospital, where you already have a Sardar Singer Kamal and a Giant Kamal ! The plot is so as later we see that the Singer and the Hero exchange their suitcases. So the deadly bio weapon and the life saving drugs get exchanged between them !

Next we see lots of cars chasing. As in our Rajini movies, they shift to motorcycles and later after they bump into something, the actors (oh sorry, Kamals) get out on the road. Soon they come across an underpass and jump onto the road beneath. As luck has it (read it again and again !!!) always these Kamals and occasionally the villi an behind them and always the lady love accompanying them, fall onto a vegetable truck or a garbage van or a trash vehicle when they jump down.

Asin, ideal Brahman girl, runs with her "perumal" idol throughout the movie wherever shes put in. A girl with so much of "aacharams" conveniently forgets them when she hugs "shoodra" Kamal tightly because of fear, leave alone her proposing the same shoodra at the end of the movie. As luck has it again, the boat in which these two (also some Chinese Kamal) escapes the tsunami !

Bush Kamal has done his homework well. But at least Bush never appears to be doing a ramp show in his stage appearances unlike Bush Kamal who elegantly flashes his suit a few times while he walks from one end to the other of the stage when he is called to speak !

Above ones are pardonable. We hear Kamal has done so much of homework that he has spent days and days reading on bio weapons and biotechnology associated with the same. However he fails to realise that viruses are parasites and they require a host organism to survive. So the most dumb part of the movie is when the villain Kamal (Flutcher ? Blutcher ? Flitcher whoever) drinks the virus in the veil and starts omitting blood with the viral particles in it. They multiply outside his body when the blood spills in the sea and our super cop Reddy Kamal watches how they multiply with a special high dimension binoculars from inside a helicopter ! OK, one might argue that those are specially designed to see nano particles from over a 100 feet height or that the viruses are actually inside the bacteria of sea water !

Now when I think about the best performance in the movie I feel Mallika deserves it. She has done some good cameo role. At some point of the movie I prayed that her role lasted till the end to keep me awake ! trust me, i was more sad than her love in the movie when she got killed in a bitter fight ! Apart from doing the exemplary pole dance Mallika has perfectly blended her glamour to the serious yet sexy yet a Pakistani trained CIA agent in the movie. She is indisputably far better than the perumal hugging Asin !

An eventful year that was...2006-2007...1st MB

2008-06-17T22:46:00.000-07:00

Though I wasn't very happy after choosing MMC over a lot of other medical colleges (those in Kerala being a few of those I left out), when I look back I feel some of my most memorable and funny moments of life have occured that very year !

Thats my first year in college (many call it a very prestigious college, though 'm sure if any educated man has one look at it and its students he will rework his opinion on doctors to the worse side). And when I think of what I should write, that is about the instances then which have become memorable events, these are what I recollect.

Mahabalipuram trip. Guys, this is not the batch tour of Maha+MGM, where we ended up going to Maha just to have food inside the bus ! Trust me....it hurt us for we had already been to Maha and knew how exciting it could have been if it included trekking on the dry hills, taking snaps with the sculptures, getting a good sun-tan, among others. This was what we exactly did when we went on this small trip months before we went as a whole batch. The seven of us thoroughly enjoyed the trip in which, from Kovalam, one of the old pals of Asif also joined us. Yes, it was wonderful, except for the occasional insults on me by others for my exceptional Malayalam knowledge and discources !!

What I m gonna recall now is actually a set of events each of which has always turned dry and dull with my presence. What I refer to here are mine accompanying the mallus to movie theatres. Till my going with them for the movies, they kept consoling themselves that one good thing in Chennai was that they could watch many good movies, also those of many languages. However it so turned out that those movies I went along were pathetic if not disgusting ! Some of those are DON (Malayalam one), Ore Kadal, Ali Bhai, College Kumaran and Yelai ! Quite unfortunate for them I started accompanying them for more movies than before as I got closer to them ! Now that I have completely buttoned myself with the group I wont be blamed for anymore of the movie fiascos !

I embed some of the snaps here. These were taken during class, during practical sessions, during lectures, in breaks, while in holiday, while on tour, when bunked classes etc.

Dr. Venugopal

2008-05-09T10:42:00.000-07:00

After having the worst setback in his tenure (the SC quashing the AIIMS amendment act) it remains to be seen how Mr. Ramadoss reconciles with the truth !

I wont be surprised if this central minister brings about some other equally frustrating and foolish law, and forces it through the parliament and ousts Dr. Venugopal again. Constitutional experts argue that this decision by the SC is the first of its kind when it completely quashes a law passed by the parliament. Such exemplary judgements by the SC gives us the much required hope that the country still has some chance of evolving into a truly developed nation. We are very much witness to the fact that India after independence has not evolved into a nation. And the rotten politicians of the country still try to drag us to the pre-historic times.

As a medico, I only wish I am no forced to do rural service. Having dropped a year for medicine (to get through the tough medical entrance exams) and having learnt 2 years of medicine and having still another 3.5 years of studies, which adds up to 6.5 years already, rural service for a meagre stipend from the govt is the last thing in my mind !

God Almighty HELP ME !

OBC reservation

2008-04-11T11:24:00.000-07:00

The Supreme Court of India has approved the OBC law. This will mean that 27% of seats in all central government institutions will be reserved for applicants belonging to OBC or the Other backward Castes.

So, in the 1664 seats (Pl excuse me if i am wrong) coming under the AIPMT (all India pre medical test), 449 seats will be reserved to the ppl belonging to the above said caste ! Not to mention of engineering seats and other seats. And again in AIIMS UG, this will mean a reduction of about 10 seats in the open merit quota (only 34 seats are in open merit now)

The only consolation is that the creamy layer will be excluded. At least we think that this matter will be brought in front of the cabinet and orders issued to the effect as to exclude ppl of the creamy layer. Also, the definition of who will constitute such a layer is left to the government. So, here again, politics of India will play its part.

I do agree that many people of the OBCs need upliftment. Same applies to those of SC/ST/the downtrodden/and more. However i staunchly feel what they need is encouragement, support and resources to fight their plight (doesn't apply to the "creamy layer") and not backdoor entry into educational institutions.

Me BACK !

2008-03-22T00:21:00.000-07:00

Hello PPl

the next thing i can think of before i embark on any project is to steeer ma life back into its fun course and forget ma past one year whch has been quite a blot in ma life. When ppl ask what i refer to when i say that or why ever do i consider it so, i hav no answer.

After the pain i went thru and the situations i was put thru because of one person who i loved madly , i think its not fair to talk abt the thing anymore. As i learnt a short while ago, lifes not just this ! It holds more for me. I got various things to do.

Like grabbing a tropicana bottle now and then having a decent lunch in sometime. Of course there re better things to do but right now....glop glop glop...feels fresh !
