The word "genius" has been flippantly used by the media these days. The media, has mutated it by labeling every Tom,Dick and Harry oh and Bill! "Genius"!

True genius in the classical sense of the word does still exist..

The man who made these works of art is a true genius!

Woody Allen _ YOU ARE A GENIUS!

Coming soon: a full fledged post on Vicky, Crstina Barcelona and Cassandra's dream!

If I could perfect time travel, bring back the dead, find an equilibrium in the time-space continuum and more than anything get these people to set their egos aside and play together, i would have whipped up the perfect band EVER....

ah.. wishful thinking is such a pain in the ass!

Kurt Cobain on lead vocals (seriously, did u think otherwise?)

Slash on Lead Guitar

Sid Vicious on bass

Dale Crover on drums

I generally don't give much for rhythm guitars, b/c i just love NIRVANA's sound and they had just a lead guitar and a bass.. but still just in case

John Frusciante on Rhythm Guitars.

alternatively, If Dale Crover is too "punk" for the mainstream, i would go with Jon Bonham..

All the best bands are dictatorships so Kurt would write all the songs and the others would just play.

This would require a supernova of NIRVANa, Guns n Roses, The Sex pistols, the Chilli peppers and either the Melvins or Led zep! makes my head spin.

P.S : See i'm unbiased. I did not put Kurt Cobain on lead guitars.. I know he's not the best guitarist out there (or not out there, in Kurt's case) , but hey! I dunno one other band where the Lead singer was also the Lead guitarist,they would play rhythm guitar but lead? I haven't heard of any except NIRVANA! That's why Kurt's the best! \m/

Whats's your perfect band?

Hindsight is cruel!

Helpless? Hapless?

2009-09-23T00:01:00.001-07:00

Probably the word I hate the most - "HELPLESS" .

I wish I had the power to change certain things that happened or accept it, get some closure and move on. I hate the fact that I was too young, I lived half a world away, My parents wouldn't have let me, I wouldn't have made a difference anyway.. I hate the fact that scientists have not yet perfected time travel, I don't have psychic powers, I might be turning into a cynic or worse a nihilist, today!

I hate the fact that I was helpless then, and I still am.

Or maybe It's just hapless.. Unfortunate..

P.S

2009-09-15T04:34:00.000-07:00

This should be added to the list in the previous post! Since this deserves to be in the limelight at present, I'm not editing the previous one to include this, but giving it a stage of it's own!

Waking up at 1.30am to watch Roger "the greatest player ever" Federer , struggle to find an answer to Juan Martin Del Potro a.k.a "the elf" 's blistering forehand. That kid is a revelation.

oh! and BTW, I dunno why I keep refereing to Delpo as "kid" .Afterall he's only like 4 months younger to me. weird.. Hmmmm..

2009-09-11T07:55:00.000-07:00

If u don't know the words to Teen spirit this post will NOT be funny to u! I have put up the original lyrics below not for someone to learn them(if u don't know the song already,this post will be lost on u), but for those of us who know the song and love it , to have a point of reference!

These are the original words to Teen Spirit

Load up on guns
Bring your friends
Its fun to lose
And to pretend
Shes overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word

Hello (x 16)

With the lights out its less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea

Im worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello (x 16)

Chorus

And I forget
Just what it takes
And yet I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
Its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Hello (x 16)

chorus

A denial( x 6)

Both these videos poke fun at the fact that no one could understand a single word of what Kurt sand when "teen spirit" first came out!

The first one is called "Smells like NIRVANA" and is by a guy called Weird Al Jankovic. It's a shot for shot parody of the Teen spirit video..It was a video approved by Kurt and i just almost choked from laughing the first time I saw it!

The second one happens to be a version of "Misheard" Smells like teen spirit lyrics. This is the most hilarious version ever.

Smells Like Sexism!

2009-09-03T07:35:00.000-07:00

Of prejudices and preconceived notions.

Scene: A busy intersection, thrown in a broken down truck blocking the road for good measure,somewhere in the Godforsaken place called Coimbatore!
Starring : A pretty girl, 2 self proclaimed "cool dudes"( Wearing clothing u sneaked out of the girls section, pants that are about to fall off, driving a macho bike with faux raybans and china touch phones is not cool! . Knowing how to be a gentleman? Thats C.O.O.L)

Text in parentheses indicates thoughts in pretty girls head!

PG is wearing a tee that has 2 pictures of Kurt Cobain below the words NIRVANA. The back of the tee also reads NIRVANA in big block letters.

CD1: Hey look that girl is wearing NIRVANA!
PG:(wow! fellow NIRVANA fans, how nice!)
CD2: (without missing a beat!) Yeah!Must be her brother's tee!
PG: (Is the tee that big for me?)
CD1: yeah! of course which girl would listen to NIRVANA?

That incident was prejudice a it's best!! by now u have guessed pretty girl was *drum rolls* MOI!

The only thought running through my mind was U want perjudice? I'll show u prejudice! U listen to "teen spirit" and"come as you are" and consider yourselves big NIRVANA fans? Do u have the bootlegs i have? How many NIRVANA songs do u even know?10?20?*scoff*! How many concert setlists can u recite? can u name even one of Kurt's guitars? Do u own "with the lights out"? Do u even know it's inCESTicide and not inSECTicide? oh!what? u thought Love buzz was a NIRVANA song?

Part of me wanted to go prove to them how hardcore a fan was I.But I took the high road and sped away!

This is not a question of a girl listening to NIRVANA! This is indeed a question of unadultered sexism! The misconceptions about women among men is endless!I'm not the kind to say hey! Lookey! Kiran Bedi is the 1st IPS! I feel sickened whenever i see a headline read "So-So becomes the First woman to do s0 and so!" Why is it such a big deal anyway? Who even created the distinction of being "the first woman?"I"m not the kind to say women can to anything men can! Infact i like men to carry my bags for me,give up their places to me in a crowded bus.in fact i hate the word woman! somehow i find it so uncivilized.we should be called ladies!

I'm not a feminist! in fact i believe being a feminist is actually a weakness. Has anyone ever hear of a "manist"? Then why should there be feminism?

I'm the kinda girl who would gladly give a man the upper hand in any relationship.Afterall, he is a MAN!

I'm not saying a man should command and a lady should obey, but just that the man must be the leader, but the lady must not be meek and submissive.( Well, i'm the kind that would probably point out hot chicks for her man to check out, so whatdayaknow?)

But when men act in a prejudiced way when it comes to the opposite sex, it irks me to no extent. Most of the guys I meet ,are surprised by the fact that i follow EPL or F1! Why? Is testosterone a necesary criteria for watching sports?Even more are surprised by the fact that i love Rock music!Why?Should a girl not listen t anything other than backstreet boys?My male friends are stumped by the fact that one girl friend of mine is a gadget freak!Why?Don't girls have enough grey matter to be tech savvy? I could go on and on but seeing as i have been totally incoherent throughout the post, i will stop here!

I will say this : Kurt sings in Territorial pissings "never met a wise man;If so it is a woman".. I have to say I respectfully disagree Kurt.. Men are wise.. as long as they realize women are wiser :)! so u see Kurt was a wise man.

R.I.P Innocence

2009-09-01T00:46:00.000-07:00

I chanced upon this photo of me and my cousins from i dunno how many years back. Probably the last time we have ever looked innocent. Nostalgia is beautiful.

P.S: The guy on my right is Sharanyan or his alter ego Ryan.A.Nash as some fellow bloggers know him.

The "anti-guitar" Hero

2009-08-27T02:54:00.000-07:00

"I will address the NIRVANA negative stuff in my next post!"

This was what i posted on the 10th if August.. 18 days and 8 posts later, i still haven't done what i said.. and since a certain someone has pointed this out, I'll go right on ahead and do it.

Each of the points i set out to prove wrong in this post are tweets I received.

Myth 1:Kurt was not a good guitarist.

Rolling stone magazine ranked Kurt 11th in it's list of "100 greatest guitarists of all time".Although i have to accept that it's a pretty high placing for Kurt, I still think that Kurt was a great guitarist. To people who say he single handedly abolished the whole "guitar solo" part in rock songs, i agree with you. NIRVANA's songs never had a huge guitar solo( with a few exceptions like School,Aneurysm) and whatever little riff was there was more often than not a slight modification of the verse(Come as you are, About a girl). Most of the time Kurt did not even bother to learn the solos and they ended up being different from performance to performance. All said and done, Kurt's use of feedback and distortions was spectacular. There was this on concert(Mtv live and loud) where he has a guitar duel with Pat Smear where his playing is just mind blowing. Kurt's guitar riff's were simple consisting of mainly a few chords but they were amazing all the same.

Now listen to his performance on MTV unplugged. It's just acoustic guitars and with the ambience and everything it just sounds heavenly(My mom sits down and listens whenever i play this dvd!!!). His guitar solo at the end of "the man who sold the world" is beyond words.

At the end of each concert Kurt would just jam like mad and then bring his guitar near the amplifiers and monitors. Feedback would fill the place and the crowd would go crazy(Reading festival '92).That guitar sound was priceless

Being a good guitarist in my book doesnt mean who can play the fastest or the loudest or play the hardest songs. It was in playing riffs that blended with the song's melody.When Kurt developed the hybrid "jag-stang" guitar he called himself an "anti-guitar hero".

If you look back to his "bleach" days where his lyrics weren't as good as in his later stages, he compensated by playing fast and complicated hooks.

Kurt always admitted he was no "Virtuoso" . He once remarked about Seogvia "I can never be as good a guitar player as Segovia, but the flipside he probably could never have play like me". Kurt created his own style that fit seamlessly into his songwriting and thats what mattered.

NIRVANA were a three pice band and for Kurt to sing like he did and also play the leads was just awesome.Yeah, he let his playing be guided by instinct rather than technical proficiency, but who cares?When he cranked it up, he could make a racket. when he mellowed down, he could sound beautiful.Kurt never proclaimed to be this "hot , hair metal guitar players" who play half an hour solos.

What brought about the whole misconception that he was a bad player was that his lyrics were so great that the guitar just faded in caomparison. But Kurt always said "Music first, lyrics second".On songs like "love buzz" he plays some really fast riffs.

just because he didn't, did not mean he couldn't.

The bottomline is that Yes! he wasn't this great technical player but what he did with the guitar is still pure magic.

I didn't think i'll have so much to say so the rest of the myth's in the days to come.

P.S: That's Kurt in a photo from 1989 while doing one of his crazy dives.Upside down,mid air and still playing.. OH YEAH!

Daffodils

2009-08-24T00:46:00.000-07:00

I have this friend from school.He's one of my bestest friends ever( although he's the biggest snob on earth). This guy, he's not ur average guy.. He likes classic poems(I can't name one guy i know that has read any poetry apart from the ones in the curriculum). Six years ago we were prescribed the poem "Daffodils" by William Wordsworth he like the poem so much that named his digital self ram_daffodils(email,IM everything).He's brothers getting married this weekend and Ram had his email id printed on the invitation and Voila! he still hadn't changed it! i seriously dunno what to make out of it. All said and done though it made me revisit daffodils in my head and i realised what a wonderful poem it really is.. so good that i'll reproduce it here.. enjoy!

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

William Wordswoth

BTW if U are or U know any guy who reads classic poetry, drop a comment, so that i can assure Ram he ain't alone in this.

I'm through with standin' in lines to clubs I'll never get in

It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win

This life hasn't turned out

Quite the way I want it to be

(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs

And a bathroom I can play baseball in

And a king size tub

Big enough for ten plus me

(Yeah, so what you need?)

I need a a credit card that's got no limit

And a big black jet with a bedroom in it

Gonna join the mile high club

At thirty-seven thousand feet

(Been there, done that)

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars

My own star on Hollywood Boulevard

Somewhere between Cher

And James Dean is fine for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life

For fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair

And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses, drivin' fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair

And well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels

Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes

Sign a couple autographs

So I can eat my meals for free

(I'll have the quesadilla, ha, ha)

I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion

Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion

Gonna date a centerfold that loves

To blow my money for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life

For fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair

And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses, drivin' fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary of today's who's who

They'll get you anything with that evil smile

Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

Well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs that offend the censors

Gonna pop my pills from a Pez dispenser

Get washed-up singers writin' all my songs

Lipsynk 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses, drivin' fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary of today's who's who

They'll get you anything with that evil smile

Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

Well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Sarcasm at it's best!

Sometimes I think.. Sometimes I Don't

2009-08-21T21:12:00.000-07:00

My previous post, a classic example of the "Don't" part. I regret saying the stuff i said.. I saw something i did not like and just because i had a keyboard, fingers and an internet connection I took this blog as a plaform to vent my anger... But in the end i ended up sounding shockingly cavalier.. Yes, i was angry at James Hetfield for saying the stuff he said.. but only because I'm passionate about NIRVANA but what if he had said the same thing about say,eminem? I would have been the first person to laugh and just b/c he commented on Kurt, i went ahead and thrashed his music while in reality i still like their music..One thing i know for sure no one should ever call me a "good sport" :(

Hindsight is a bitch!

Metallica fans "Stay away"!

2009-08-20T08:16:00.000-07:00

Metallica- A band I used to kinda like. "The Day that Never Comes" was a constant fixture on my playlist until about 5 minutes ago until i deleted that and the rest of the Metallica songs right off my phone. No! I do not have bipolar tendencies. There is a perfectly sane reason for my conduct. I don't cuss as a rule but please forgive my languagein this post.Hope i'm at my sarcastic best .

One thing about me though, I'm fiery. My friend from school even went as far to wonder if I have some Latin blood in me. So when I feel stongly about something I'm ruthless and scathing about people who are against it.The person bearing the brunt of my fury at this moment is James Hetfield.(Sorry Metallica fans)

Thursday, 20th August 2009

20.30 hrs: I open youtube

20.31 hrs: Type in Kurt Cobain

0.015sec later(or so sayeth youtube) a bevy of results pops up, everything from the infamous stoned interview to the stage diving fight.

20.32hrs After Pondering quiet a bit over which vid to watch( I allowed myself only 1. Effing BSNL and it's frickin' limits) i pick the one headbanger's ball video(BTW check this one out!Kurt wears a yellow ball gown b/c wait for it, It's a ball and is just plainly being a goofball) .

20.36hrs The vid plays out and youtube has to show off by recommending related videos. Interestingly, the very 2nd recommendation's captioned James F*&@#%G Hetfield ( Alright I added the expletive as his middle name. you tube didn't suggest it that way!) on Kurt Cobain.

20.37: I decide to cheat on my self imposed 1 video limit & take a peek.Navigate my mouse over and click with some trepidation.

Few mins later (I was kinda jittery at this unlikely combination that i gave two hoots to the exact time anymore) a metallica concert footage comes on with JFH mumbling something about his drummer being passed out b/c he was hopelessy drunk( so unprofessional BTW) and needing a few more minutes to play. So he decides to grow a brain and deliver a wisecrack.This from a man who in my opinion can't play in tune to the others even if Pythogoras himself tuned his guitar and Jamey boy, being this big star(cough) & all u shouldn't call a "plectrum" a "pick". Unfortunately for jamey though you have to be born with a brain which he wasn't so his wisecrack ends up being the most offensive thing ever to fall on my ears. He makes this utterly gross Joke about Kurt that i won't even bother repeating.This draws a lukewarm response from the audience. Anyone with a brain stem would have taken the cue & stopped, but not Jamey b/c well he doesn't have one. He makes the next stupid joke which i transcribe here:

What has 4 arms & 4 legs & works @ Mcdonalds? The rest of NIRVANA!

How funny? Someone ought to tell Jamey boy that Kurt still continues to sell more records than him, Oh wait Kurt's dead right? RIGHT! and he still outsells you!last time i checked(& i check everyday) Dave Grohl, NIRVANA's drummer, heads this awesome band called Foo Fighters. Jamey do u think having half a good verse and then screaming lke ur facing apocalypse makes for a good song? You want a lesson in how to make screaming artistic? Listen to "Aneurysm" or "Breed" oh yeah U don't have money to buy the record do u? Yeah! What will u do? No one wants to listen to a bunch of middle aged "men"( no wait! Men? i don't think so!) . I will personally lend u the record.

Didn't momma teach you not to insult the dead Jamey boy? Or where you so pissed off about the fact that a bunch of kids from seattle kicked ur ass in the 90's? Were u sour that even though u have been around since ice age, u still haven't managed to have the influence Kurt did in 4 years?

All this after Kurt personally said u were a great band! Fie on u!

Like Kurt would say, Plankton like you are a waste of sperm and egg.

Thank God they cremated Kurt and not bury him. He would be turning over in his grave if he had been buried!

P.S: Stay away is a beautiful NIRVANA song.. thats the reason for the quoted in the title! And my deepest apologies if have hurt the feelings of Metallica fans. I toyed with the idea of making this post but in the end Kurt means a lot to me! So sorry again

It's only words!

2009-08-15T23:00:00.000-07:00

Sometimes conversations can turn into debates which just suck the wind outta u, but other times they may turn into reflections and that kinda stimulate u to no end!

P.S: I feel officially yuck for naming a post after a "boy-zone" song!

A post at 3.00 Am from a teary eyed me

2009-08-12T14:28:00.000-07:00

My hands shake as i type this post. I listened to the "Le Zenith", live in paris (14/2/1994) version of "Where did you sleep last night" (by Nirvana) around 10.00Pm last night.It's past 3.00 Am now and i still can't sleep. I heard that song alone in the darkness of my room on my headphones and I cried, not just silent tears kind, but all out wailing kind for how long i dunno.. I dunno what brought on the tears but i couldn't stop. When Kurt says "shiver for me" in one bridge i really did shiver, whether for him, i know not! It's 3.00am and i'm nowhere near sleeping as yet. My body is still reacting to that song.. I never knew a song could affect me this profoundly..Something about that song, whether the cello or the gut wrenching way Kurt sings it(he seems almost in tears in the 1st verse..so much raw emotion) went straight to my soul.. I still am crying sporadically and for the first time ever, i'm not ashamed to admit it..

The bottom line is I still haven't obtained closure over the fact that Kurt is gone and i dunno how i'm gonna deal with it...

Spare us the horror.

The following sentence must be written on Post it's and stuck before every reality singing show contestant.

"Don't even attempt to sing coldplay even if someone is holding a gun to your head! No one has Chris Martin's range."

This sentence must be put into the contract these people sign.

"No one is sure if Kurt Cobain committed suicide , but you most definitely will if you even attempt any of his songs. It physically hurts if anyone else sings Nirvana"

P.S : The one exception would be Marty Casey's performance of "Lithium" on Rockstar:INXS . He nailed it!

Retraction!

2009-08-10T09:41:00.000-07:00

I'm going to have to retract what i posted earlier about "Seasons in the sun" . I took a listen to the original version of the song by Terry Jacks and I absolutely loved it! I guess my haterd towards the song originated from Westlife covering it! (C'mon U can't have names like Kian, consider a duet with Maraih Carey(yuck!) as ur crowning glory, cover Barry Manilow songs, perform on Mtv IMMIES and expect me to take u serioulsy and what kinda name is "westlife"?) The song indeed had some beautiful lines, "goodbye papa,it's hard to die" being the most touching on of 'em all. I listened to Nirvana's version too. They switched instruments (Kurt-drums, Dave Grohl- Bass and Krist Novelsic on lead guitar for this song) and Kurt really seemed to portray the agony in the song in his voice. Now I'm in love with the song but Westlife's version still sound Karaoke to me! Nirvana's version Classic case of what happens when a great song meets a great artist.

P.S : I ve been recieving tweets saying Nirvana sold out to the mainstream & stuff like Kurt Cobain was not a good guitarist , Kurt was a Nihilist who never appreciated his audience. Since my excursions into his life via his journals is proceeding at snails pace ( in my defense, thats the only way those journals ought to be read to really appreciate them) and the proper Kurt post might take too long( I might even chicken out of the whole thing.It's intimidating to write about such a complex human being) I will address the Nirvana negative stuff in my next post!

Can't think of a title!

2009-08-07T09:14:00.000-07:00

Question: Is Nirvana the Best Band ever?

(question spawned out because of a recent verbal wrestling match with a friend from college who said Metallica were the best!I said Nirvana obviously!)

"K(C)urt" Awakening! (Pun Intended)

2009-08-02T19:23:00.000-07:00

During my forays (ahem!) into Kurt's life, I chanced upon a video and I was in for a rude awakening. Never in my wildest dreams I imagined i would utter this sentence "Nirvana covered seasons in the season"!!!!!!!!! That was one song that i had immense contempt for.(Noticed the past tense have you? well i can't have contempt for something covered by Nirvana!) come on! Westlife covered it of all people. Westlife is one band i love to hate. They go out and cover all these classics. Uptwown Girl was a song immortalized by Billy Joel and these guys had to go turn it into a karaoke version. So to even imagine Kurt singing the same song as Kian ( who is a memeber of westlife) just hurts physically! What was Kurt thinking?( We had pot, we had weed, we covered the first song we could read!). Then again, Kurt can even sing the phonebook in his guttaral voice with his sweet angel face and I would listen.

Kurt Cobain-Prelude

2009-07-31T21:41:00.000-07:00

For months now, i've wanted to make a post about Kurt Cobain.It's a post close to my heart and well, I want it to be this blog's magnum opus so to speak! I've done so many drafts, but somehow still haven't been able to do justice to the man or his music. They say Nirvana's music is sacred and untouchable, well, so is Kurt Cobain.I can't just go ahead and type whatever i want when i finally make the post about him. Anyone who has ever listened to Nirvana's music, and has given a hoot to the lyrics will know how many dynamics were there to Kurt.

Just when i finally decided to post, I got my hands on Kurt's journals released after his death!It's 304 pages long and it's slightly difficult to decipher Kurt's handwriting in places, but even more difficult to even begin to fathom the meaning in them.I'm gonna read it, try and understand it and then post! For now, those of you who don't understand what all the hoopla is about, i leave you with Kurt's suicide note. Read it,Don't just peruse it, but really read it, try and understand the beauty and pain behind each letter and then wait for my Kurt post.

To Boddah

Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complain-ee. This note should be pretty easy to understand.
All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses over the years, since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved with independence and the embracement of your community has proven to be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things.
For example when we're back stage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begins., it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddy Mercury], who seemed to love, relish in the the love and adoration from the crowd which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do,God, believe me I do, but it's not enough). I appreciate the fact that I and we have affected and entertained a lot of people. It must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.
On our last 3 tours, I've had a much better appreciation for all the people I've known personally, and as fans of our music, but I still can't get over the frustration, the guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too fucking sad. The sad little, sensitive, unappreciative, Pisces, Jesus man. Why don't you just enjoy it? I don't know!
I have a goddess of a wife who sweats ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what I used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function. I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable, self-destructive, death rocker that I've become.
I have it good, very good, and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven, I've become hateful towards all humans in general. Only because it seems so easy for people to get along that have empathy. Only because I love and feel sorry for people too much I guess.
Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
Peace, love, empathy.
Kurt Cobain

Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your altar.
Please keep going Courtney :)
for Frances.
For her life, which will be so much happier without me.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU

Long time comin!

2009-07-30T16:44:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged since.. stone age!!Not that I din't have stuff to blog about,not that I had swine flew, not that i was a participant on "I'm NOT a celebrity get me outta here" stuck in some coasta rican jungle,not even the fact that I had exceeded my internet Bandwidth limit alloted, but simply because, i've been..L.A.Z.Y..

Over the "Century" since i last blogged, there has been no dearth of topics i wanted to blog about.

below,i provide a list of stuff i wanted to blog about.. some , any or none of them may turn into a full fledged post.

Alfred Hitchcocks movies.

Paul Newman,Stevie Mcqueen.

Kurt Cobain.

Animal rights in general, PETA in particular.

The "Remember me" script. (BTW: Doesn't matter if it's not a very nice thing to do, find this script online & read it!This movie is never going to get released in India,so it's ok reading the script!Move over "Sixth Sense" Gimme RM)

The mundane way, i spend my day!

People with bad grammar.(OUCH!)

People who use bad grammar on purpose(Not cool!)

Twitter.

Comic Con,San Diego.

GO WATCH THE MOVIE!!!PERIOD!

Srtictly for 20 somethings tho' !

Andy Roddick!

2009-07-05T18:07:00.000-07:00

The best man did NOT wim Wimbledon this time!Andy Roddick deserved to win.I don't want to analyze the match nor do I have anything against Roger, but i'm and have always been a harcore Andy girl and he should have won!bottomline!Tennis is cruel and so is fate!

I'm not dealing with this very well, talking about it just sets off another bout of tears(I've already used my lifetime's quota of tears!) so i'll leave this post with one thought! If there is indeed a God, he did one hellua crappy job yesterday with the finals!

MEMO TO GOD

Andy Roddick played better, was more gracious and is definitely the better man of the two.Why-o-why for Pete's sake should he lose?Is it Karma?Is it just written?Is it just that you thought it will be fun to watch him suffer?To quote Bruce Nolan

"God is a mean kid sitting on an anthill with a magnifying glass"!

U should be fired!

American Idol--Amateur Idol?

2009-07-01T22:43:00.000-07:00

I'm sitting down to write this post with a humoungous cup of Italian coffee(Melosa!Try it, it's God sent) some wonderful music(courtesy Sharanyan!Cuz become a DJ!Oh! and his house has the best food!Gr8 music+Gr8 food+PJ's from my bro=clubbin' experience!I don't drink so i don't need me no alcohol!and i definitely don't dance!) and lotsa time on my hands..so it might end up completly 180 from where it started!Read at ur own discretion!

"AMERICAN IDOL"-The single most watched TV show on Earth(If u ask Ryan Seacrest, even Martians watch it).It garners 100's of millions of votes each season,catapults virtual unknowns into stardom,spews out multiplatinum recording artists and grammy winners and makes a lot of moolah.It's a show i've been watching from day 1,and though i hate to admit it, it's my guilty pleasure.I feel guilty because a section of the performers are too amateurish to even sing in their bathrooms,but like me, many fellow criminals tune in to watch the drama and a fairytale unfold right before our very eyes and yeah! ofcourse there's Simon Cowell the saving grace of the entire thing!

There was this show which gave AI an ass kicking of a life time!Rockstar INXS!The show had legendary band INXS on a quest to find a half decent replacement for their dead lead singer Michael Hutchence!Those are big shoes to fill!The contestants were professionals and totally awesome!

Let's pit the two against each other!

*ting*ROUND 1:

The Judges

AI:

Randy jackson:

He's my dawg!But Randy I can't tolerate there being a score of "Greatest artists of the known world!" and BS! No! u NO U DID NOT work with Jesus Christ!Stop blowing ur own trumpet!But i give u props for being adorable and giving some meaningful comments!

Paula Abdul:

Paula ur sweet and i could fit u in my pocket,but have u swallowed a theasauraus or are u secretly preparing to write GRE hun? And no! I don't carry my Gibberish to English dictionary around too! Woman u danced with a cat(watch opposites attract) for heaven's sake!Paula dear, ur on AI not project runway.Can u please comment on the singing and no the "pallette of what they are wearing"(she actually said this).

Simon Cowell:

He's my home boy!A class act!I love anything British!

The fourth judge is just in consequential and i don't even want to mention her!

ROCKSTAR : INXS

INXS are one of the greatest bands of the era and their judging was consumately professional!

In addition we had Dave Navarro of Red Hot Chilli Peppers as a judge too!That man has some serious chops!The word outfit was probably never mentioned on the show and they may not have been as verbose as Paula but man! were their comments meaningful or what?

ROUND 1:Despite Simon, It soes to Rockstar!

ROUND 2:THE HOSTS

AI:

Ryan Seacrest, u are eye candy, sweet, smart and incredibly humourous! We love the jibes Simon and Ryan poke at each other!We love that you are short but still manly! We love when u say "Seacrest Out'.U are always impeccably dressed, u can think on ur feet and i tellu, u host the Academy awards and the Oscars will no longer be a chance for the big screen to show how boring the small screen is!

RS:INXS

Brooke Burke, a playboy playmate!She is a model and we know models ain't exactly Albert Einsteins!Brooke honey, U look gorgeous but stick to occupations that require u to never open ur mouth doll!go on!! Run to Papa Hugh Heffner and play with ur bunnies now!!

ROUND 2:I'm team Ryan on this one!!

ROUND 3:THE BANDS

AI had Rickey Minor while RS had the House band! This is a no contest! Rickey and the band are gr8 but unfortunately i'm not in Kindergarden anymore!

ROUND 3:The House band are badass!

ROUND 4:The Format

AI:

AI had a theme each week and the contestants had a wide repetoire of songs to choose from, nost contestants though pushed the enevlope too far by doing covers of originals that the "theme" became redundant!For eg: We would hear a Jon Wayne cover of "Because the night" for 70's week!(I din' know Wayne was a reincarnation of Patty Smyth!oh wait! she's still alive!Wow maybe the AI contestants perfected the clonning process)Plus, AI had zero innovation till season 7 when they allowed contestants to play instuments!Now atleast contestants bring their own arrangements to give new twists to popular songs!Like Kris Allen's Heartless or David Cook's Hello(Please ban Whitney Houston songs from idol!pls).Leaving the entire eliminating power in the hands of the viewers begets disaters like Sanjaya,Taylor Hicks and Scott Savol!(Simon Fuller there's a lil' thing called learning from experience!) And please do away with the awful, obviously lip-synced,corny group numbers!(And while ur on it can u pls check if someone slipped Coke(cocaine) into Paula's water cup!maybe that's why she's so incoherent!)and we don't want to see shameless plugging for movies produced by ur studios too!Get rid of the "mentor" crap too! Seriusly! Quentin Tarantino as a mentor on a music show?What is he? The lead singer of the "I have a new movie comin' out, so i'll go pretend i'm John lennon to a bunch of idiots" band?The man is the director of Kill Bill not Sound of Music!Were u all stoned when u brought him on the show?

RS:INXS

The public decides the bottom three then they sing for their lives.They sing INXS classics with INXS themselves backin up as the band(OMG) and then INXS choses who goes home!Neat! Also the contestants are given a songlist to chose from each week and the haggling over the songs adds oodles of drama!AI take note no fillers to drag the show,no stupid ford commercials, no cheesy group numbers,no plugging for movies and oh! the contestants week in and week out have to give their own arrangements of the originals!That gave rise to some amazing songs (goto youtube and listen to J.D.Fortunes California Dreamin' or Marty's Hit me baby one more time!) there was also a week where contestants had to compose their own songs.This week gave us Pretty Vegas(J.D) and trees(Marty)!

ROUND 4:Not even a contest!RS gives AI a Suckah punch!

FINAL ROUND:The contestants

AI:

People like Adam Lambert, Kris Allen,David cook,Chris Daughtry and Constantine Maroulis not withstanding AI's contestants should be rechristened from a "Crop of Singers" to a "Crap of singers"Want proof here's a list of people who belonged to the list of supposedly top 12 best singers in USA!Sanjaya Malakar,Scott Savol,Chris Sliegh,Lindsay Cardinale,Taylor Hicks,Reuben Stuttard,John stevens,Mandisa,Niko Smith,Kevin Covais,Camille Velasco,Mikalah Gordon,Paris Bennet(princess P!my foot!),Haley Scarnato,Kristy Lee Cook!

There were some gr8 singers i accept (Tamyra Gray,Kelly Clarkson,JPL,Bo Bice,Carrie Underwood,Jenifer Hudson,Ace Young,Daughtry,Eliot Yamin,Blake Lewis,Melinda Doolitle,Michael Johns,Carly Smithson, Brooke White,Danny Gokey, Kris and Adam) but they are too lil' too late!

RS:INXS

J.D, Marty,Mig, Jordis Unga, Suzzie Mcneal to name of few were simply awesome!period!They sang reall songs(Joan Jett,Nirvana, metallica as opposed to Whitney Houston,Celine Dion,) and they were really musically inclined.. Marty who had never sung a pop song before was asked to sing Hit me baby one more time.He flipped it and made it his own!(That's what i call a judges pick!No boundaries(Kara's song for Kris and Adam) is just judges SICK!

Bottomline:It's a knock out!(Yeah!I know this year's AI was the best so far,esp the finale,but finding a crop of singers like this year again is a huge ask!Adam Lamberts don't happen every year!).

P.S: I love David Cook though!He's one Hellua singer!take a listen to Light on. u'll know what i'm talking about!And If u don't like Adam Lambert ur musically retarted!He's friggin' awesome!

P.P.S: If u haven't seen ROCKSTAR:INXS yet, it is worth waking up @ 3 in the morning and downloading! Trust me!(Watch it for J.D's songs if not for anything else!)(BTW, is it P.P.S or P.S.S? Who cares anyway?)

Happy Birthday degree dosth!!!!

2009-06-30T19:59:00.000-07:00

Kurukshetra was a peace conference compared to the fights me and one of my best friends Dhyanesh had(oops! have)!

Altercations,arguments,fistcuffs,combat,conflicts,bout,brawls,confrontations,arguments,scuffles,

skirmish,strifes,tiffs,duels,wars,battles,feuds,fracas,quarell,melee,ruckus... U name it, We've had it!(these are all the synonyms i could think of for fight, Doesn't mean we haven't had all the other varieties though!) Sometimes, we would not have hesitated to cast avadakedavra at each other!(Me being Harry and him being Voldemort of course!).

But he's one person i can call at 2A.M in the morning and ramble about how many ounces(oops!gallons) of oil my HOD has in his hair,whether the beautiful girl from the civil department he eyes is ever gonna even turn around and look at him(HA HA HA!),whether to buy a carera GT or Nissan Skyline or an Alfa Romeo!(Oh in NFS ofcourse!GOTCHA!) and so many other highly classified topics(Dhyanesh! We should talk about world peace more often!)

He's one person with whom i can let my guard down and say any thing that rolls of my tongue(That get's me into trouble later!But we always patch up!)!He would listen even if i speak in Swahili!

He's a Big Brother to me(though he's actually younger to me)!!

Happy B'day BESHTU FRENDU!

R.I.P Michael Jackson!

2009-06-26T17:44:00.001-07:00

To the greatest musician dead or alive!

Michael will be sorely missed!Love you Black or white!

2009-06-16T02:09:00.000-07:00

I'm writing this post with a lot of indignation in me,so if it is bound to be a little judgemental and might contain lot of raving against a particular Quatret , Christened simply as "The losers"

Hot afternoon, Washington park,NYC.A guy dressed in a flannel shirt sporting run of the mill sneakers walks a few paces on the sidewalk to grab a bite to eat.Pretty mundane happeining which you can see dime a dozen! But what if the guy was outrageously handsome,had an effervescent personality,was the star in one of the biggest movie franchises,was down to earth and unassuming?What if he guy had crowd paranoia?What if the guy was Robert Pattinson?the situation does a 180 now, doesn't it?

Robert Pattinson was filming for his next movie "Remember me" in NYC this morning.Before going further, we need to keep in mind that Rob has crowd paranoia.Rob is a nice guy with a calm demeanour,ever accomdating to his fans,with no "Air " about him and is a thorough professional.He's a wonderful person..'nuff said!

It all started with a post in the site onlocationvaccation.com(if i have my way, i would ban the dayum site!)which disclosed the filming location for RM's first day of shooting.This started a kind of movement and soon the entire internet was abuzz with the prospect of catching Rob on set.Come 8.30 on Monday morning, a huge crowd of paparazzo and girls,were waiting with bated breath at the location in NYU.

Rob arrived and began filming his scene in his usual nonchalant manner.The sporadic cries of "i love u robert" definitely disturbed filming but Rob did seem unfazed!Having scores of cameras being pointed a you(these do not belong to the filming crew),having ur crew outnumbered,unable to stop the unrelenting shrieking(are these girls related to the witches of Salem?) got to him after a point and this is what he did!

U can almost savour the desperation in the man in this pic(only a frustrated man would sit on a fire hydrant and put his face in his hands,knowing it's gonna be fodder for the tabloid rags!somebody, get the guy an asprin!oh rob!!!)

Filming wrapped up and Rob had to walk 2and 1/2 blocks to his trailer.Time for he fans to say a hi!, get an autograph walk away and then go into hyperventilation right?That's just what did NOT happen! The crazy loonies also called the losers took social faux pas to a whole new level with this

that was just a teaser! here's the real deal

Watch this to fully comprehend what comes below...just the photos make my rant below seem too extreme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIo56XB0iO8

WTF?Does the girl think she's hulk Hogan?Or maybe she thought "If i strangle him and cut of circulation to his brain, he wont notice how effing idiotic i'am" His boduguards were rendered useless as he was mobbed by fans everyone of 'em who kept a decent distance except for the losers?What was the B!tch in the green plaid shirt thinking?He's not gonna say "Hey!ur the human noose, lemme take u to lunch to the Ritz and then maybe back to my hotel room at the Waldorf Astoria"U idiot!U have a better probability of finding vampires sparkilng in ur front yard and playing baseball in ur backyard than Rob ever giving u a second glance!How many times were u dropped on ur head as a child?oh! Hold ur hippogripps!I know ur mom took one look at u when u were born and offered u to cannibals! but they had a taste of u and have turned vegetarians! oh yeah!Unforutnately the part the cannibals tasted was ur brain(what microscopic amounts of it were there when u were born!)

Watching the forced smile on rob's troubled face is just gutwrenching and the video of this idiocy brings tears to ur eyes!The guy was so gracious to u even then!He even mumbled a have a nice day to everyone just before he got on the trailer!Now that the losers have gotten their 15 secs of fame, they ought to be prepared for a vehement backlash!They probably ruined any chance of Rob being as approachable as he is now!I'm sure he is gonna get z-grade security from now on!Did u for one second think of how his mom would feel when she watched her son being grappled and harassed this way?I guess ur mom would probably hire Bin Laden to launch an airplane right into u though!

Rob is probably gonna be stuck into his hotel from now on with his cancer sticks and booze watching 12 reruns of Loveboat!Way to go girls!! make him a recluse!!Thats what we all want!

U low lives will always be losers!!!

P.S: I would love to aply for the position of rob's body guard!!!he he he!!!

2009-06-13T04:58:00.000-07:00

*Disclaimer*

This is a sensitive topic and i don't mean to antogonize anyone!!

Adam and Eve,Ying and Yan,Martians and Venusians or simply Man and woman-Whatever you believe in, God created two halves that compliment each other(and drive each other crazy:P)!

But rules are meant to be broken right?or are they?

The Supreme court of California passed "Proposition 8" a law that deems Gay marriages illegal.Prop 8 had mega stars like Brad pitt, Ashlee Simpson,George Clooney,Pete wentz,Natalie Portman rallying against it!

The question is this and individual's preferences and if so,does the government have the right to endorse or condemn it?

Each person is given a right to choose his food,the way he dresses, his religion and so many other mundane aspects of his life, so why should he not have a choice in sexuality?Why is it so taboo?

And why-o-why should they be judged on that?

Case in point:Adam Lambert:Adam got a standing ovation from the "oh! I'm Harichandra's cousin"Simon Coweel himself,gave a new flavor to so many routine songs, had an effervescent personality,dressed in a fashion forward manner(ok! thats subjective)and clearly blew everyone away! but come the finale and rumours that he was a closet gay guy became rampant!That contributed to him to some level,losing the crown to the arguably less talented,but all american(going to church every sunday,boyish good looks,cute wife, soft demeanor) Kris allen.I've immense respect for Kris,in fact Kris was my favorite from the right begining, but all said and done,Adam was the better singer! It's a shame that he had to lose because of something intensely personal which had as much to do with his vocal abilities as Octomom does to decency(I hate that B!tch)!Alright there is no tangible proof that the fact that he might have been gay had anything to do with Adam's loss but hen again even for such a speculation to arise should make us as a human community bury our heads in the sand!

Whether a person is for or against homosexuality is one thing but whether they should judge gay people because of that is a whole new question all together!

Wikipedia defines marriage as-"Marriage is a social, religious, spiritual, emotional and/or legal union of individuals that creates kinship." does it say anything about man woman? niet!

Marriage is a celebration of one persons love for the other.period.Why should two men or two woman not be allowed to that freedom to declare their love?Do "till does do us part,or for better or worse or in sickness and in health" apply for only the conventional marriages?Which brings us to the question of why a gay marriage must be deemed "Unconventional"?People talk about segregation on the basis of caste all the time! atleast that's something a person is born into! But Being gay is just a choice,like chosing your favorite color or football team!

The passing of prop8 may not be the final nail in the coffin of hatred towards homosexuals but it's damn well close to that!

"be the change u want to see in the world"-Gandhi

If this is situation is something u wan2 change! Go out! Support the no H8 campaign @ www.noh8campaign.com/.! Spread the word!

I know that was heavy read! I'll leave u with something fun!Oh this explains the Joey Tribianni part in the title!

JOEY:Ross,Science question.. If Homo sapiens are really "HOMO" sapiens, is that why they are extinct?(*typical Joey look)

ROSS:(Rolls eyes) Joey, homo sapiens are people!!

JOEY: (Widens eyes)I'm not judging Ross!ok?

oh what would we do without F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Must see!

The online Dictionary defines "music" as an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.

Every one's interpretation of music is starkly different ans i respect that except of course,if u are over 19 and music means BSB,BLUE,WEST LIFE,BOYZONE,N-SYNC and the dime a dozen boy bands!(Thats

not even music.It's just few hormone charged boys picking up the mic and delivering a few limericks!Oh baby ur so fine,im gonna make u mine!(come on now really!!)or gal bands.think destinys child,spice gals(if u wannabe my lover u gotta get rid of my friends!WTF?)

It's ok if ur under 19!ur a teen or even the ocassional nostalgic listening to as long as you love me or words!but ppl above 19 who still are within the confines of

boyband/galband hell, GROW UP!!!)

I grew up!here's the current playlist on my phone:

1.Nirvana-Smells like teen spirit

Lovely song!gr8 lyrics(a mullato,an albino,a musquito,my libido!)LOL sorry for the paravai

muniamma analogy a few posts back! Blasphemy!i'm going straight to music hell!KIRIMIBHOJANAM will be reserved for me!!

2.The rolling stones-U can't always get what u want.

Super song! Super message!always buoys my spirit up!

3.Eric Clapton-Layla

The acoustic guitar makes magic in this one!The bridge before the last run is out of the world!Demonstrates less is more!

4.T.M.Krishna-Ramanee samanamevaro

Brilliant composition.The alabanai at the begining takes ur breath away and the awaras at the end are a treat!

5.Kiss-Beth

Heart-breaking song!Makes u feel for "Beth" whoever she is!The last line is so moving.(BTW,while i'm on the topic, did any of u watch gene simons on the celebrity apprentice-rofl)

6.The Mamas and papas-California dreamin'

Classic song! Kinda cute the way the verses are reapeated!It gets everone california dreamin'

7.Sring-Roxanne

Scruffy husky vocals from sing! nice back up by the police! Has the story of a man falling for a hooker.Cliche but still sweet!

8.Bagapirivinai-Pon ondru kandaen

nostalgic music! The hariharan,shankar mahadevan cover is gr8 too!!Why don they make meaningful songs like this in tamil anymore(Naakumukka is not only meaningless but also downright irritating!and i heard one about broken ipod and sim card the otherday! wonder which movie! utter rubbish!)

6.Verve-Bittersweet symphony

Richard ashcroft walking down the sweets of London with fiddles in the background! music heaven!

7.Alanis Morisette-Hand in my pocket

Love her guts!She gives a slightly edgy vibe and that makes the song all the more racy!

8.Gary jules-Mad world

Made famous by Adam Lambert(And BTW adam's outta the closet now!i'm so glad! He can stand up and admit he's gay!Love ya adam!)This song just tugs at ur heart strings(I find it kinda funny, i find it kinda sad, the dreams in which i'm dying are the best i've ever had!lovely line!)

9.INXS-Devil's Party

Love the lyrics and the total gothic thing going on here!J.D.Fortune was the best ever thing that happened to INXS(RIP Michael Hutchence).And if u haven seen rockstar inxs,download it,American idol gets the ass kicking of a lifetime.

11.Pink FLoyd-Money

This one grows on u! Take a listen!

12.Dalapathi-Sundari Kannal oru saithi

The Vaali Ilayaraja combo has churned out some gr8 chartbusters in the past,but this one is a class of it's own!!

12.Christina Aguilera-Fighter

Every woman must have this song handy,just in case!

13.Rock on-Socha Hai

Farhan Akhtar's voice-swooooooooooooon! (aasma hai neela kyun,paani geela geela kyun,gol kyun hai zamee,silk mein hai narmi kyun,aag mein hai garmi kyun,do aur do paanch kyun nahi gr8 lyrics!)

14.Beatles-Eleanor Rigby

19.Aerosmith-Dream on

Another feel good song! but aerosmith sings the hell outta it!that last note in the falsetto is freakin' awesome!

20.ROBERT PATTINSON-NEVER THINK(the twilight soundtrack)

Seriusly u knew this was comin right? Lovely guitar strains.. amazing lyrics and rob's voice brings out the agony of a man who loves this woman crazily but wants her to hate him! and rob is just so multi talented! That subdued subtle voice gives me the chills!and he composed this himself!what i would give to have him sing it to me!ROB WILL U MARRY ME?

there are many more like be yourself,aicha,chura liya hey thumne,bhomeian rhapsody,Nights on broadway,papa was a rolling stone,all night long(Lionel richie) and some not so usual suspects like daddy's gone,safari duo ,holiday,rukumani rukkumani,She will be loved(maroon5),demons(brian mcfaden),smash(freeway) etc..

but i don think i can work on the same page with that photo of rob(such smouldering eyes) in it!!If anyone's taking cues for my b'day present, u don have to do much,just wrap up rob and give him to me!!!GOODNIGHT PPL!

Oh n i tag sharanyan,vigneash,hari,sandeep

Electrifying!!!

2009-06-08T08:02:00.002-07:00

ppl go to friv.com and play a game called electric box!!I spent 4 years getting myselg a bachelors degree in Electrical and Elecrtonics engineering! For me EEE has always been about dingy classrooms,Professors with an entire countries supply of coconut oil in their hair, Never touching a wire in labs(pssst!both my batchmates were guys!!guru and gopal!what can i say? u guys rock!!) and outdated crap(like pretty much the anna univ syallabus for all streams!).The only time when electricity was in the air was during the month of september,When "FLASH" the tech symposium of our dept was going from drawing boards into reality!!

This game though?FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!! u don't need to know even the spelling of "curent" to play this!!

wow wish electricity were always this cool!!!

and here's hoping that my return journey is atleast a tad uneventful than my journey to chennai!!

Countdown!pg-13 warning!

2009-06-07T08:36:00.000-07:00

*disclaimer*

This post is the Brain(less)-child of a totally idle person with oodles of spare time on her hands!If u don't want a deluded disection of some movie scenes,hit back on ur browser(u know that small arrow on the left of ur screen?now navigate ur mouse there and click!)

This post is a result spawned form the utter futility of my IES exams!(the recent MTV movie awards might have something to do with this post too!MTV ur guilty until proven innocent!)

From passionate to downright dumbfounding,the Hollywood jungle has churned out some memorable kisses(i told ya it was brainless!)!Get ready for my top 10!

10. Slumdog Millionaire-Jamal and Latika

Yeah!yeah! star crossed lovers meet under the most extraordinary circumstances and share a lip-lock!Dev Patel and Frieda try to make it passionate! But the stupid dance at the end of the scene leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth!

9.Manny and Ellie-Ice Age 2!

This is more of a "trunk-lock" rather than a lip-lock! But two mamoths locking their trunks after a huge fight and in the process saving their species too!! Awwww!

8.The Matrix- Neo and trinity

Neo is taking the ass-kicking of his life @ the hands of agent Smith Morpheus is ready to hit the EMP and the sentinels are closing in!Trinity kisses Neo(or his body or whatever is left in the real world) and Voila! neo springs up to life in the Matrix! Not only that he has lsome super cool trickc up his sleeve now!(seeing code,stopping bullets) one hellua kiss!

7.Troy-Achiles and Briseas

First there is Brad Pitt in this scene(yay!) Briseas has a knife to his throat and he pulls her and kisses her!(Guess she ain't a servant of apollo much longer)

6.Mr and Mrs Smith

They have a gun to each others head and in a split second they are smooching(Maybe jane smith thought if i pull the trigger there will be no one to do the dishes and laundry tomorrow once he's dead!)

5.Titanic-Jack and rose

Ship's bow(or stern! who the hell cares)+super cute leo+kate+an extraordinay scence of balance+coupla dolphins= hellua scene!

4.Brokeback mountain

U need to watch this! I'm not gonna spoil it by breaking it down!

3.The recuit-James and layla

CIA Parking lot-not the most romantic of places! Loads of security cameras(okie! i don'twant a home video of this) clever gal who knows the exact count of the camera sweeps(oh u know she just mugged them up to check if she remembered 1 2 3) and the most prganized kiss in the world(they both know it can last only for 15 secs) but man was james one gr8 kisser to impress a gal in 15 secs gong by the next scene!

2.Spiderman-Peter Parker and MJ

awwwwwwww! The dorky,nerdy boy turned super hero hangs upside down and kisses the love of his life!! fairytale!

1.Twilight-Edward and bella

The undercurrent of danger in this scene when edward has to be onhis guard,lest he goes far nd ends up killing his kissing partner makes this one a kick ass kiss! Edward's Vampire instincts are put up against his human love& lust for bella!Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewarts chemistry is just so sensual! Love the scene!

tomorro we'll do best fight!!(kidding)

Gentrifying my faith in Gentlemen!

2009-06-06T08:35:00.000-07:00

Some might call me a cynic. And the one word that brings out cynicism pouring from my every pore is "GENTLEMAN".

I thought the highly endangered species of gentleman had finally gone extinct! I found one article about how Robert Pattinson was such a gentle man, but that's just a raindrop in an ocean!

But one journey from Coimbatore to Chennai aboard a uber comfy KPN bus changed my total perspective!

I had to make the above mentioned journey in order to take up some crap IES exam!As it was a last minute thing, i made do with my qualms about travelling by bus!

Ready to board the bus, had an air bag slung over my shoulder,another vanity bag,a bottle of water and a book("The Plot" by Irving Wallace) in my hands. So i should have possessed some serious acrobatic skills if i were to board the bus!

I was past the point of "koi muje bacchao" and was just waiting for my friendly neighbourhood spiderman!

Then came my knight in shining armour for the next few hours!This really nice looking( n imean really!),20 something,decent guy walked up and offered to help me out!I was wary as to where being obligated to him will lead to! But my tendons were giving way(okay that's an exaggeration!)!I unceremoniously dumoed my bag on him and gladly accepted his help!

Now u think i would have thanked him and said the obligatory crap and moved on right?WRONG! My spinal cord decides to tweak my motor neurons and i ve to trip over air(oh! that happens to everyone! Why does troublw find me?) and in this amazing demonstration of some spectacular tai chi moves(yeah just imagine donald duck strecthing his arms!There u go! me doing tai chi!!) i somehow end up ripping up both our headphone jacks from our respective phones(yeah both me and spidy were listening to music on our phones) and abracadabra "Smells like teen spirit" blasts out from both our phones! wow! whattta joincidence with a c!!(u need to watch F.RI.E.N.D.S to guffaw @ the last line! for those unfortunate souls who are nt familiar with central perk that's just WHATTA COINIDENCE!).Oh now i've to demonstrate my verbose language!right?wrong!

All i could manage was a sheepish grin!(trust me to give u memorable moments!)!meanwhile spidy rants off about how funny it is and how gr8 a band Nirvana is!(At that moment for all i cared,Paravai Muniamma could have done the song) While i'm trying to drown in embarrassment a loud, obnoxious family walks in and bumps into me!! just the impetus i needed!U see i'm the epitome of grace!Darn!I manage to steady myself this time,not before knocking off spidy's water bottle! spidy goes gracious and chivalrous! picks up both our headphnes and hands them to me!He's all thats ok,not ur fault,could happen to anyone(anyone who has yet to learn to walk)

I walk to my seat and so does spidy! This is the part for a neat bye, thanks,nice meeting u right?(oh i know this time u did not even think right!) i take out my ticket and voila! both of us have been alloted the same berth number! Oh what didya expect?Karma is gonna affect the guy who alloted the seats!His next life is a dung beetle!

I do some serious freting now! But spidy is the most gracious yet again!he asks me to make myself comfortable and that he'll difuse the problem and walks away!now i doubt if the guy is a vampire or a martian!

He returns few minutes later,appologizes profusely for the delay(awwwwwwww! how sweet!) and tells me the problem is solved,asks me if i need something and walks away to his seat!

He never asked me my name,Never made an inappropriate overture or expexted anything in return! Spidy single handedly made me believe that there are still a few Gentlemen(in the real sense of the word! not the one which has been flippantly used by the media!)out there!

This post is dedicated to that Mr.Anonymous!I don't think i'll ever forget u Spidy!!

2009-06-04T17:51:00.000-07:00

Alright then!! I watched this amazing lil' movie called "In Bruges" yesterday! wow Colin Farel has so metamorphosized into a brilliant actor from just the sterotypical hollywood bad boy!! The movie also has some kickass acting from Ralph Fiennes and Brendon Gleeson!The excessive swearing and profanity might be unsetlling @ first but after a few minutes it kinda feels spot on!!

Ray(Colin Farel's character in the movie) calls Bruges,a lil' fairy tale town in Belgium his own personal hell and voila! it sounds like a line from my life!While Everyone goes ga ga over the virtues of coimbatore i somehow find this the dorkiest place in the world!

Yeah the climate is awesome! But gimme chennai's heat and sweat any day! i'll take it!

Yeah the people of coimbatore are so nice @ heart.They are helpul and blah blah blah! but i miss the haggling with the chennai autowallas!

Kongu tamil is supposedly one of the more refined dialects, but ppl not everyone knows the 4 directions(nesw) in tamil!I would rather that when i ask u for directions to a place u don't take me literally and tell me "kizhakala merkala" stuff! is right and left so difficult to comprehend!

I don't like random strangers coming up to me with fashion advice either!(refer next post)It happens only in coimbatore man!

Why do even elder people call younger people "vaanga ponga" in coimbatore? just don't get it!

Why Can't even a single friggin' theatre here show "X-MEN: ORIGINS"? It's a blockbuster for heaven's sake!oh and tamil dubbed versions don't count!I don't want to hear Hugh Jackman(in all his glory) going "naambunga"(trust me)!

A curse from a girl's mouth(just a damn it! mind u) that is seen as a some loss of chastity!I mean life's not all hunky dory always and we are allowed to curse! I personally believe this should be incorporated in the "Fundamental rights".

Why does everyone has to turn and look if someone speaks in english over the phone on a town bus!It's rude to stare!

I don want to hold ur baby while u stand in town bus!He/She could pee on me!! I don want that! Atleast ask me first!Or take the damn seat i offered!Don't foist ur baby on me! and all u cougar ladies(40-50 year olds) on the bus,if u see a lady with a baby standing and feel bad for her offer up ur seat!Don't ask me to get up!

And u school kids i'm not a stand for ur bags! and it's ok to ask someone if they can hold ur bags instead of just depositing them on their laps!

A girl in jeans or skirts is not a separate species! stop staring!

*Disclaimer*-This post was not meant to hurt anyone living dead or undead! If so i'm sorry!!

Random stuff!

2009-06-03T09:24:00.000-07:00

As metallica's Nothing Else Matter runs in the background(gr8 song btw) these are some random thoughts through my cerebrum!

1.Chilly baby-corn is a mouth-watering dish!

2.Geni-the family tree website is so darn useful and interesting.

3.*Disclaimer* this particular thought is just my opinion.

The kids who take part in the Scripp's Spelling Bee are probably torutured souls hounded by their parents.

4.Guys hate any mention of so called hollywood heart throbs even in their computer history..

case in point: My cuz sharanyan asking me to clear his history coz' he did not want any mention of robert pattinson in it!(tasteless tee hee hee)

5. The very same cuz has some classmates who have an extraordinay degree of eloquence.

Case in point: The gals on his sarang documnetry competition team..kudos nithya and the rest of you!

6.Finding parking space in cross cut road is a job i wouldn wish on my worst enemy(read: zac efron!)

7.I discovered the differences between a laptop lcd and a tv lcd!!

8.Beggars in Delhi are becoming so resourceful(ref:The Hindu 3-6-2009 last page)

9.I can actually tolerate heavy rock music! and it kinda grows on me!! i even listened to metallica today!

2009-06-01T00:58:00.000-07:00

The last 12 hours have been short of euphoric!!
I beat my bro at a "Business" marathon.. Nadal, rafa(*cat calls*) whatever goes out and loses! yipee!! this definitely paves the way for roger to go out there and get his career slam!! also makes things a tad easier for verdasco, who i'm rooting for("go fernando")! robin soderling amen to u!
i'm gonna try not to make the next part a play by play of the mtv movie awards-but guess oestrogen will get the better of me!!:P

got up real early to watch the Mtv movie awards!!found a nice HD streaming site!I was waiting for Robert Pattinson to show up @ the red carpet! He gave it a slip!:(

But he was the first person shown on camera! and man did he look breathtaking!! Even Jim carrey looked @ him and wanted to overturn prop 8!!(*cheers*)!

The host guy-Andy Sandberg is a god send!! his spoof of the nominated movies priceless!and he mentioned rob in his opening rap sequence too! rob's expression made me go (Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!)

A run down of the awards one by one!

Best Breakthrough Female Performance-Ashley tisdale- I couldn care less!!

Best Fight- Twilight- Robert Pattinson and Cam Giganet!Rob looked uber adorable! and the forest on his head was drool worthy!!He made some funny remarks and walked away!!

Bruno kinda flashed Eminem(gasp!) fell into eminems lap with his exposed derriere!!It was also the night of Slim shady's 1st stage performance after a long time! well shady stormed off apparently pissed!!

Zac Efron(grrrr) won best male performance(blah! blah!)

Best Kiss- This one was a no-brainer!! We all knew it was gonna be robsten! They had this cute moment on stage!! almost kissing and then stewart breaking away with a thank u!

Best actress-It may have been kristen's moment in the sun but the look on rob's face when she dropped the award- so adorable(u gotta be a girl to get this i suppose!)

Rob,Kristen and taylor also showcased a trailer for new moon- unbelivable cgi and some brilliant acting from Rob!It was the only time the theatre was quite!Other than that the whole time Screams of Robert! Could be heard Sporadically!!!

Twilight also won the best movie award!

All in all the Robert Pattinson Appreciation Awards was just that- full of robert- but that's more than ok with me!!!

P.S. I really adore Robert Pattinson not just his character edward

2009-05-28T09:40:00.000-07:00

okay i'm a F.R.I.E.N.D.S fan! so i'm naming my first post just like their first episode! I've just completed my graduation and have more than enough free time on my hands!! so here goes!!

28th may 2009 around 2.00 a.m IST,

Lionel Messi (5ft 7in only) times his jump perfectly and scores off a exquisitely delivered ball from Xavi. A collective groan emmates from the Manchester united supporters.My dad's anguish could probably be felt all the way in Rome!

I text my friend: damn! Game over!

Friend replies : remember Bayern Munich (Nou camp) 1999

Some people never give up! Hat's off to them!

And though United came back with their tails between their legs :( i can take back something from the game!! People's perspectives make them what they are!!

P.S: My friend,he is not even an united fanatic like me!! which makes the optimism all the more intriguing!
