My Diminutive Paradise

What’s It About ! A Srilankan Refugee with the thirst to be more and to be better , moves up the ladder to become one of the most feared Dons by eliminating all those who he thinks , are his enemies. Actually he moves up ,pretty darn slow !!! Analysis : When they re-made the yesteryear Billa , there was so much expectations around it and it did deliver what was expected and acquired a cult status . Now we have Billa-2 , supposedly the first Prequel in Indian Cinema - a movie about the Don’s history . Chakri Toleti , given such a huge opportunity has miserably failed to deliver a worthy prequel . Billa wants to be a DON and he becomes one is the storyline . But how did he come to the level , should have been dealt with much care , rather than a dumb screenplay and nothing but murder all over . Be it the hero or the villains , there is no proper characterization . Everyone just comes , walks around and dies . Though the first half is manageable , the second half is a total disa...

  If there is one thing that can leave you terribly confused , than calculus or algebra , its choosing your dress . I have many personal experiences where my friends used to spend hours in a store confused , to pick the perfect one . When it comes to formal clothing , first I go with the shirt and then hunt for a suitable pant  , and I believe that how most guys would do it . Ready-mades are much less easier to choose from than selecting your fabric and get it tailored . Usually when I go to a store , I pick my clothes in less than 15 minutes . I was very lanky then , so didn’t give too much importance to clothing as anything I wear would look loose or just plainly not-perfect . We even had a gang in college , the gang of skinnies . We prayed to God, seeked his blessings , discussed on what to eat and find out all the possible options out there , but exercise was a strict NO . But at the end of 3rd year in college , GOD decided to show his grace and sent me some fat from he...

It was very late . I thought I had to leave the office alone , without any company . The day was very tiring , it would really be good if there was someone to talk to until I reach home . But , today was late and everyone has already left except the hard truth that I have to go alone . I was walking to the gate when a friendly voice called my name . It was my college mate Vishwa . I was lifted with comfort in seeing a person I have spent 4 years of my life with , especially now , when I badly wanted someone. We were in the same hostel . He is big talker , all that I needed now . And as always he began with his ever so funny way and slowly turned my course towards him , moving far far away from work . I can think about and worry about work later , it can wait . Now I have my friend here , with me and I am going to make sure every second is well used . He lives near my place with his friends , as do I . He got off the bus and gave me a big bye . I thanked him in my mind, smiling . ...

  In response to my previous post , many friends of mine wanted to write a post about what actually happens when you are caught for dis-obeying traffic rules . So , here it is . Before I actually get into the topic , I wish to set a few things clear . Traffic police , as in any other departments has hierarchies .There are levels of supervision and each is held responsible to answer the the one under its control . These people in general , work for much longer hours than anyone (usually depending on the place they are in-charge of) . They have their tasks assigned . A particular number of cases are expected to be filed by them . Now this number usually comes with the statistics of the average number of such incidents and to make sure that this avg number is handled to keep things under , if not total control , at least to some level . So what actually happens when you are caught .The personnel who is directly monitoring these traffic finds such people and takes them to their supe...

  There are many places when you find people responding and bowing down just to threats , cash and fear and not to what is humane . Everything looks fine and seems to be in order , when there is someone around to hold things in chains , trying to control . People just pretend as though they obey but that’s one big sick joke .The moment the chains break or let loose , things go berserk . One thing that deeply bothers me is the traffic . In day light , I don’t  think we can bring timings in here , so , it would be apt this way : When there is someone watching you, ready to fine you for even the smallest signs of disobedience , everything appears normal and as how it should be . But most talk badly on these traffic personnel . All that we care is that we are losing money , and not that we have failed to follow rules devised for our safety . Please do note that , I am talking only about things that are legit . Corruption among these people is an entirely different topic (Even if...

  An article I was reading recently in a magazine (New Scientist) had this discussed . Now all of us have heard about Goldilocks and the three bears . In that story she finds a bed that is by all means suitable after trying a few . Now the topic that I'm going to discuss here has its roots in that story .  It is always said that a person can be judged by his friends . That is because friends are the most influential people in our life . They know us and so we share &  discuss everything with them . It is also a fact that the world greatest personalities are inspired by their peers and rivals . Now if we start to search about their social connections , it has a mix of people who are neither too close nor too strange . Great deeds often require lightning strikes of inspiration . We cannot be creating these on our own like Zeus , but we can lay the ground work for it : Our social circles . Strangers have often proved to be an unusual source of inspiration and ideas . ...

Couldn't get this song out of my mind .... It just got into me .... First it was Regina's The Call (Narnia) , then i looked into her other works , found Samson  (Begin to Hope) , Love Affair (11:11) and now this ... nice to hear ...
