Slumdog Millionaire - run of a lifetime !!

First, its a nice movie.
Second, to all the desi lovers, what it is shows, is the truth, except for one or two disgusting scenes (even if it were the truth).
- the kid jumping into the shit hole (it was humorous nonetheless)
- people on the street watching as a man was on fire on the street (not ALL indians are heartless, specially when he is already far away from the mob).
Third, an Oscar & Golden Globe award, doesnt mean it is the best.
Fourth, its not any different from Deewar or some similar bollywood masala movie. Only thing missing was the punch line - "tere paas kya hai?", "mera paas computerji ke liye answers hai"
Last, why would i read out the question to my friend of a lifetime... when you know fully well that she like you probably never went to school. And if this was relevant to your life like the movie shows, i would re-write the phone-a-friend dialogue to "Hello! Hello!! Kaun? Lathika? How are you?........ Acha, what would your name be if you were the third musketeer, arthos, parthos aur ??"

Thanks. It was a nice movie. But just that. Lets not get carried away.

Another Blog

Well, as is usual, there are a lot of ideas that float around in the head. Most are usually wasted verbosity, but quite a few of them are gems. They tend to last in your head for a few moments, as you ponder your thought and build on it. Idle brain, is not always used by the devil.

In such a weak moment, i came up with the idea of another blog. Not like i have a lot of friends or other blogger friends thirsting for my vomit of knowledge. But its nice place to pour out your thoughts, with the hope that sometime, i can go back and read all of it, or someone else will and will be benefited from the same (talk about bloated egos).

The weak moment, came, i believe as i was on my way back from a restaurant, and wanted to rave about the food. I also found that not too many search results showed me the kind of feedback, i was looking for about good eating places. I focussed on chennai, because Yahoo's Local Reviews made up for lack of info on local eateries in the US.

So, if you are a visitor to this blog, stop over at my other blogspot called, mygoodeats.blogspot.com. I have not been able to add much since i started it, but it has a fledgling list of reviews, 12 to be exact of today. I hope to add more, and am also keen to know if other would like to co-author, or are willing to share their thoughts about the same concept. I havent made much noise about it, and i guess this is a start. I am going to take this one step at a time.
