And the Religion is Faith

Nivi needed to know if it is possible for a person to belong to no particular religion ....and a blog is born Direct Answer : NO .To fit into the Indian System you need A religion ...that means everytime there is a column on any paper stating Religion....there can only be one!!!! "Computer won't accept 2 or 3 madam" YES. When it comes to your personal need for a religion...its what you believe that counts....and you believe in what works right?...so out of the 4,200 religions pick any or all or just mix and match or create your own or pick none The ppl I love and religion Acha : The most religious man I have had personal contact with. He is a staunch believer of rituals. Does his pooja at dawn and dusk. His idea of a relaxing holiday would be to visit temples. The basic line he repeats is "do your duty and leave the rest to God" and "act according to natural justice and there lies the apt solution to every problem." Amma: She is religious but...

Bald and beautiful??

Like I mentioned in my one of my previous blogs ...K,N and Lil L and our family had a trip to tirupathi for my long overdue mottai. yes am all bald and feeling slightly funny this time round..Lil L had her head tonsured as well... Advantages of not having the locks When u have a bath :The first mugs of water are sooooo refreshing since it hits the scalp d i r e c t :) Dressing time saved by 15 minutes....includes the time to dry hair , comb, dry again, comb, comb till the fourteenth minute and then plait it at jet speed No hair on the brush or comb results in a  happy M No hair products on the shelf  It feels light always ...no sweaty neck and shoulder this summer A few compliments on my new look...hey I got one from my amma now that's gotta be true alright...truly pacifying atleast   Random kisses on the head from Achu ( huggy buggy ) Disadvantages have to go around with a scarf over the head until the scalp looses its bare look.....and in summer its bad....

The Personal Monster IV

When she called me in, every heart except mine sounded normal....mine was thumping ...I bet Sivamani couldn't have done a better job at his drums... dizzy dizzy dizzy.....thump thump.... Went in all alone....asked for M and was told he is having his teeth beautified ...baaahhhhhh...snifff snifff.....Doc asked me to sit down and she explained the process ...she told me she will work on my left molar and do the right on another day....It would have been better if she jus let me go.....or knew a bit of magic.... She made me sit  and I couldn't brilliantly camouflaged the tears with a dust-in-the-eye trick  for long... I heard my self sob out loud  and I spotted a very hazy version of my Doc walk towards me ....with a serene smile ...I heard an "Are you ready Gayatri?"....What if I said No...will she let me go?.... And then she pricked me ....amidst uncontrollable out pours through both my visual mediums I let out screams ,pulls and pushes...is this the ying yang...

The Stars across the Horizon

Simbu : Looks clean and well dressed. His restricted facial expressions and dialogue delivery resembled Kamalahasan. Good dancing since he consciously restrained himself from having 'that' expression he usually has when he dances. Trisha :  Pretty .The costumes were fresh...with a predominance of the starched,pinned cotton saree look...on a positive note...I have this strange feeling its going to get a good sum of gals to try their hand on tying the saree rather than the usual salwar kameez. Acting wise trisha is a natural and the role requires jus that. Ganesh ( Simbu's Friend): Neat performance. I loved him.Crisp,Calm and Witty. A.R.Rahman:  I didn't have any prelude to the songs so it didn't create much of an impact in my mind. though the slow part in 'Hosanna' and 'Omana Penne' did want me to listen to the songs again. With A R Rehman the problem is that you tend to like his music only when u keep listening to them again and again.....

The Movie Buff in me

Excitement reaches unforeseen heights each time I book tickets for a movie....I love watching movies...and its more fun when its in a dark room with blaring sound AND eats unlimited. What I like 3 hrs of disconnection from the outer world into the world of fantasy usually get to the theater early but sometimes (mostly) we wade thru dark shadows - our mobile lites the only aid I remember the documentaries that used to be shown before the movie starts....patriotic ones...then there were these jewelery ads and saree ads..... buttered popcorn,puff,cake,coke,coffee, the ice cream cones with watery vanilla and anything worth munching and gulping down without bating an eyelid the executive sofa @ sangam ...cosy :)....( seemed quite low the last time round...excess wear and tear?) the 'side' comments from the 'fronters' and whistles that welcome heroes and heroines with equal vigor...no 33% here I should say:b happy, comic, full of love, colors and light..in english,h...

What rules the mind right now?

Everything is a rush....the day is slow but it is restless....my mind always blurts out 'What next?' ....I am slow ...I am blank....My mind lacks direction..I keep mumbling.... .get angry very fast....and I don't know why but I keep telling 'Yendhu cheyan?' ( what to do?) for no reason at all!!!!!!..but if I have to list out the things I want to do.... Holiday with my family or atleast with my lil fella Meet up with friends  Wake up at 10.00 am and still have nothing to do Have long uninterrupted conversations with friends  Declutter.... not out of interest but purely out of need Ps. Not that I am overworked....A sense of void has taken over me for quite sometime now....I lack the drive and seem pretty lost in this little world of mine
