Oscar Rahman :)

Feb 22nd - AR Rahman got 2 oscar awards for his work in a movie 'Slumdog Millionaire'.

I have already seen this film, I liked the film when I saw first. What makes this film very different to achieve so many milestones? Truth is apart from being very real, the reach of this movie.

There has been a debate that there are even better movies than this one made in Indian cinema, ARR has scored even better music than this before, this is being reaching heights only because this is a British film, even I think sometimes the same. But immediately, then next questions comes in my mind, yes this has gathered attention because of a British director, if it can get attention to the truly deserving people, what is wrong in that?

We are thinking AR Rahman has composed better music before, this might be because we are now used to this master piece. I read in one of my friend's orkut status, West is experiencing for the first time what we have been doing for so long. Thats the way to sum it up.

Congrats ARR, and let this be just the start of a long journey. And also thanks to have brought the sense of proudness among the Indians to make every one tell my fellow country men have won an oscar.

Hi!!!

Hi!!! - This is the most used subject heading in an email - atleast for me. But this blog is not regarding the selection of subjects in an email. Lol..

This blog is my thought on a statement/ saying I came across recently. In this world, all who we do not know are our un-introduced friends...I went to a restaurant alone last week, there I met one person whom I have seen in my office, but I never have interacted with him. He was sitting near me, then he told, 'Hi, inga dhaan unga veedu irukka??' (Hi, ur house is in this area only is it?)...then I said Yes...and we started conversing like his name, his project, where he is from, which place he is working at offshore...within no time we know each other now or to whom I can say Hi/How are you/Bye whenever I see him...

Then I was just correlating with this incident to the statement I had mentioned earlier in this blog, then I thought it might be true. Yes, for that, we cannot go to a total stranger and say Hi in a road...but whenever possible, if we can make an introduction with the people we see in office, staying near to us, or to people with whom we are travelling over a long distance...It is indeed good knowing people, after all good people can give more happiness than any other material things.

New Year Resolution

I am writing this exactly one month in delay, but 2009 is still a new year.

Frankly, there is no time if we need to take a resolution seriously, but taking at only new year is just an excuse so that we can delay whatever we are doing/ not doing till that time. If that is the case, then resolution taken at new year will not last for long.

However new year gives an opportunity to take a new resolution, to take a new path and to take a new beginning. I am sure it gives immense joy if we can achieve that. But it may not be easy, I am taking me as an example, when I am going back by memory, I remember every new year I have taken a resolution, but I dont remember not even a single one which I achieved it completely, that tells how easy is to take a resolution, and how difficult it is to fulfill it.

But if you want to take a resolution, and serious about it, dont wait for the next year to come, take it on the same day that you think. There are more chances of you sticking to it if you take it at that time than you wait for any other particular time. Once I read in an article author quoting 'I wont lie and lose my self respect when found lying', that line stuck me, why to even lie for fun, I decided that day, and I would say the only resolution that I had achieved so far is this one.
