Movies, Party , Birthday - Part 1

All of us on the other side of the globe(in US i mean), have the privilage of celebrating our birthday for two days. Hence two parts of my birthday(part I and part II)

Greetings start pouring from family and from friends in India, right from a day before and that did set a tempo for my birhtday this time on May29th. Yesterday was a day of late night venture from a sleazy place which started a day before after a long shopping though less buying, wishes, movies and a late night party.

Finally I got to see one of the tollywoods awaited movie 'pokiri' yesterday evening. What a dumb movie it was!.I wonder,even now,how I didnt walk out despite usual hatred for such non-sensical stuff.. On the way back home, One of my friends tought that the movie should be named 'HE-MAN'. neways telugu movies are always telugu movies. I await a day where I really like a movie(telugu).

After this was another movie session, courtesy Hollywood. And then it was 12:00. oh yeah! I was born this day. All my friends brought a cake which I cut and after some cake slinging onto my face,we retired to watching movies again. And slowly I went to dreams watching a 60's cowboy movie "More Dollars".

'not disillusioned by politicians or democracy yet'

"We look up to Bhagat Singh, and to movies like Rang de Basanti and Yuva," he says. "This is just a small way of repaying our debt to our country." (Src:Rediff) .

Big words from Young India. Hundreds of students going on hunger strike for a cause is definetly phenomenal, because I used to think that only cricket could unite Indians. On the other hand the politicians innovate new ways to divide and rule.

I was
embarassed to watch the interview of Arjun Singh by Karan Thapar. I was terrified to see how the politicians are crippled of decision making capbilities, and how they are self-centric and driven by ego (before this, I used to wonder what bureaucracy meant)

One characteristic of a good leader is to admit that he is wrong at some point. Only in military your commander could never be wrong. Dr.Singh can atleast act now to resolve the whole issue, and after some days every thing will be as normal as nothing happened.

Nehru has himself acknowledged in 1960's that reservation was a bad decision and it should not continued. Today we are just being pushed a step backwards by our politicians.

No Work All Fun

It all started about a month back when I got an internship at Intel,Oregon.  Since then I never tought twice about doing any more work.. I didnt even read seriously for my finals. But somehow I managed to get decent grades... i still wonder.

After that I stopped doing my GA work at the University. So now all I do is get up at 10 or 11 AM, watch FRIENDS/watch movies/eat and sleep... its definitely a lot of fun to do nothing.

oh I forgot.. My research in the lab is to play NFS.. ha ha..  I wait for Josie Maran - who plays Mia in NFS to come and inspire me after every race..








Maaan thats a lot of work.. now its time to get back to lab for some more fun..

First Blog

Hi guys,

me too on blog bandwagon. sometime back one of my friends said that I start off early but never maintain the tempo. Almost 2 years back I used to write a blog in rediff.com. And as you all might have guessed it only lasted a couple of posts :).

Lets see how long this innings would be!. I guess no longer "my first blog .. blah blah" then..
