Four liner

Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
Give me another chance
I want to grow up once again.

Very nice lines.I really donot know if it is the original lines by "3 idiots" team or adapted from "Five Point Someone" by Chetan Bhagat.I have not read the book but watched the movie.Planning to read it sometime when I am free.Let me see.

Wise and Other Wise

"Wise and Other Wise" a book by Sudha Murthy is the one which I have read in recent times.I liked the title of the book and is by one of the ladies whom I admire a lot.I like the inspiring story of Infosys and the way it has grown all through the years and especially the story of Narayanamurthy and Sudha.I hardly miss any article about them .For that matter whenever I come across articles or news about Subramaniya Bharathi,Sushmitha Sen,Shah Rukh Khan ,Martina Navaratilova and very recently Leander Paes and Katrina Kaif,I hardly miss.

Coming back to my book review,all the stories in "Wise and Other Wise " are written very short and crisp.I also felt like I can write upto a pagelength on most of her topics in the book .I agreed with her in most of the places and in some places I could not agree with her.But thatz what it is all about.How can I fully agree with anyone on all topics under the earth!

I like to read short stories rather than novels.I hardly read novels and I prefer Indian writing which I can associate myself with and I dose off every time when any body gives me non Indian novels.I really take years to complete them.

Ayirathil Oruvan

Ayirathil Oruvan - a movie which I had seen in the theatre after a very long gap say after so many years.I feel that this movie is one in which the director is not sure of the message or his intention.
When I watched the first half of the movie,I got a fair idea that the dir was trying something new for the Tamil cinema.So it was Ok...within the limits(tolerable) rather.
The movie's theme or central idea is that the search of a famous archaeologist.
In the second half of the movie,this central idea is left behind and Reema Sen is given all powers(Don't really reveals from where she gets all that).
A movie worth watching not even once...

Director's intention is laudable but there seems to be lots of confusions in the second half.So itz waste trying to watch and trying to understand.

It was a waste of both time and money(for my friend who has taken me to the theatre).

Hence my rating is 0.5 in a scale of 1-10.
