Do you love me?

2006-03-06T20:18:00.000-08:00

This is in reference to a post posted by my college buddy Meera and Anapra

Everyone falls in love. I am DEFINITELY no exception. My crushes start from my UKG (yes, believe it !!!) and it requires a seperate post ...lets c that later :-)

Actually in the posts I could see their point of concern is whether Frienship can be turned into love, if not at least the frienship can be continued for heaven sake. Very simple question :-)

In one of the comments to her post, the maturity of the person who proposed has been brought into view and it really got my attention.

I know a true story :-) One guy proposed to a girl and unfortunately for him the girl is already committed to someone, but he never wants to quit with it. He is not matured but she is. She did her best to bring back the blossom from his dumb head and still now they are in very good terms. I am very much proud about him and now he is very much matured than her :-)

Lemme talk from a guy's perspective. He will love a girl for 2 reasons. Either she is tooo beautiful (character doesn't matter for him) or she is too good to miss in his life. My concern always is in the latter. If you could possibly be able to deduce it from him by having a undiverted mind, definitely any girl can win over any guy in reciprocating (for the meaning of reciprocating refer to meera's blog :-)...). I have seen some girls who first develop a conception about the guy the moment he proposed CAD about the friendship that they had b4 and never wants to get away with that thought. Then how on earth that she could possibly be able to console him out, at least for their frienship sake. She can't always expect the guy to be matured and they wont be most of the time :-) It'll take a bit of time and obviously both can do it. The only thing is they should believe themselves and him, of course.

First thing they shudn't be afraid to approach him (ayyo avan varaandi ...Naa poren). I wud say for guys the moment they try doing this, they r just aggravating his animal. Just sit and think from his shoes, how would u react, if a girl gives her cold shoulder like that. If you are such a good friend to him, definitely he will be able to understand. All it needs is some days of self-interrogation and some days of personal chatting. Both of them can take their life happily after that. By self interrogation I mean without any prejudices ...that of course requires a bit of maturity which every normal human being possess I think.

Even after that if the guy is still adamant... and if u think he is a such a poota case ...then leave it just like that. He wont be looking for you and it means only one thing, he is flesh eating (like some road side Romeo) He will obviously look for another. Forget about him.

Look in thie entire post I have considered a proposal between a guy and a girl who are such a good friends ...U shudn't be considering otherwise ... :-)

I have given my views from a guy's perspective, dunno how it affects from a girl's perspective. Waiting for girl's comments especially :-)

My Niece

2006-02-28T20:06:00.000-08:00

She is my niece. Her name is Harini. My sister and uncle named her with the name whose actual meaning is a deer ...of course she looks like that...

Her hobbies are her new aBaCUS course, fighting with me and watching her favorite cartoons ...Isn't she beautiful? :-)

Fundoooooooooo girl, so far she earned some 4 medals in her LKG .. !!!! (How come she become MY niece????)

Time and memory

2006-02-27T20:10:00.000-08:00

Of course movies that has the time and memory concepts blended with its story and screenplay always fascinates me to the core. Mostly time does the trick on most of them and memory follows it in someways. When I try to visualize the way the director tries to tell, it just simply blews my mind out. How fascinating the the concept of time and memory goes...? Try it for urself ...

The inspiration for this post is a movie called "The Butterfly effect" which only has a flair of time and memory, but created a big impact. The baseline for this movie is from the concept of chaos theory - "The flutter of a butterfly wing will generate a typhoon in Phillipines or it might stop a typhoon which is about to be caused", without considering the literal meaning of it, what they are trying to say is nothing happens for chumma in the universe, every happening follows the cause-effect rule. Likewise in the movie a small boy has so many blackouts in his memory during his childhood under extreme stress and he records those events in his personal journal. During his college days when he reads thro those he revisits those spots and he the power to change the course of action in those memories which ultimately changes his way of life.

During my final year, my college buddy Ramasamy wrote in my slam book, a quote that he believes and he might have read it somewhere - "Time is actually moving backwards". He explained to me that whatever happens were actually happened, so no need to worry on that. This movie states the same things but in a different angle, it states that there are actually so many ways the FUTURE HAS HAPPENED and depending on ur present action that particular path will be decided. Pretty interesting...huh?

There are some scenes like the school drawing the boy do and picking the knife from the kitchen, which are clearly marvellous to visualize how things cud have happened, bcoz it is time related ...if u got a chance just have a look into the movie.

So this movie goes on with memory mostly and I got a chance to see the trilogy series of Back to the future (contradicting title, isn't it?) which practically dwells on time time time and nothing else. It is very comical keeping the concept of time in its background. In the first part he goes to 1955 (the current time is 1985, the year the movie got released) and changed the course of an action bcoz of which his mother fall in love with him !!! and he finally change it to his best and get back to 1985 and in the other two parts he goes to 2015 and changes a thing to save HIS SON and during that time a guy frm 2015 comes to 1955 and changes something, so those people from 2015 when they return to 1985 the timeline is totally screwed up, so they go back to 1955 to changes what that future man did ...but unfortunately after the change due to some problem with the time machine they go back to 1885 and finally they will arrive into 1985 solving out everything.... Oh man ...sound confusing??? and thats the power of having a time machine.

There is a paradox called Grandfather's paradox prevailing in the science industry, as to my concern it is based on time. To put it in simple words - "Using a time machine, if u travel back in time and accidently killed ur grandfather before he meets your grandmother, you wud have never been born and technically speaking a nobody cant travel back in time, which practically means that u havent killed your grandfather !!! " and it leads to a proposition called parallel universe. If you are interested refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_paradox.

Another book which got my attention on time is "Harry Potter and The Prisoner of the Azkaban" (of course I dont like the movie of it) and I dont want to explain on this since most of u cud have experienced the time turner :-)

When I think of memory the best movie that obviously fits into it is "Memento", the character of the hero in this movie is the inspiration for "Gazhini", but Ghazini doesn't portray the difficulty of a short term memory loss person, but Memento does using the valuable tool called Screenplay. The movie just goes backwards, first they will show the climax then the previous 10 minutes as the next 10 minutes and then the next and so on and so forth. In between those we have a linear path which takes NORMALLY and finally as a viewer u will surely experience the difficulty of a short term memory loss person, bcoz u wont be remembering the flow of it which just happened some 10 minutes before in the sequence and it makes u crazy :-) Another movie for memory movie experience is "The Beautiful Mind", it just shows the impact of your brain play in the screenplay just through emotional feelings and a remarkable one.

Charlie Chaplin - is he the best actor?

2006-02-01T20:05:00.000-08:00

Yesterday (1st Feb 2006) I bought a DVD. It's a Charlie Chaplin collection. It has lot of his collections, some of the movies are as old as 91 yrs now ...they were released in 1915. The collection goes like The Woman, The Bank, The Rink, The Pawnshop, By the sea, The immigrant, The fireman, The adventurer and a Dog's life !!! I have seen the first 3 parts and really had a wholesome laugh.My college buddy and current roommate Prasanna enjoyed it very well.

I still remember the days when I was a boy, I used to see Charlie Chaplin in DD with my Dad. Yesterday it reminded me about my dad... Just allowing me to know that how fast the life is running on and on and on... But I need to accept the fact that I haven't had the laugh now, as I had with my dad when I was 6-7 yrs old. Does getting old reduces your laughing hormones also? Are we getting addicted to problems rather than enjoying life? Someone can answer ... :-)

Of course most of us know that Charlie Chaplin is not what he appears to be on the screen. We all are happy after seeing him falling down, hitting others, his style and I have seen children laughing as though the bowels are about to be leaked out of their mouth. If I have been God, I would definitely given him the happiest life possible...atleast as a tribute to the person who made everyone happier, a bit more than what they deserve :-) When you look deep into his life, out of cinema, all he gets is merely a meal...he was from a very poor family and he was literally tortured by the life and when he was in the peak of his success, one reporter asked him about how he could possibly be able to keep himself happy inspite of all the things that was happened in his life... He replied with very few words - " I always believe that THIS is going to change, whether it is GOOD or bad" .I think we can't be as generous as Charlie Chaplin, but atleast we can think that bad things do change.

Charlie Chaplin is not the best actor, rather he is a best man !!!

1) I was waiting to pick up my colleagues for lunch in CTS and there came some of my college friends and a CTS friend. They chatted with me for a while and when they are about to leave,
Aravind (Anna Univ ECE) : Bye da Karthik ...
Karthik (Anna Univ ECE) : Girl da Karthik ...
Me : mmm...enaku enna solrathunu theriyalada ...so poittu vaa...

2) I am getting ready for my office and in radio mirchi 'Mayilirage Mayilirage' song is on the go ...there came the line " ...valluvan thanthathu mupaal ...unaku enakum virupam, antha moondraam paal allavaaa'.
Palanisamy : enaku MATTER pidikum`nu evlo azhagaa paatula solraan paathiiyaadaa? chance`ae illa ...
Me: UNAKU matter pidikum`nu oru padathula solra alavukku kondu vanthu vittutiyaeda ...mahaa kevalama irukuda Palani ...
Palani : !!?!???!? ...nee mothala office kelambura vazhiya paaru ...

3) Parthiban (Banti) and Anbazhagan (K.Koodu) visited our home for some 2 days, and in the next morning Banti is preparing himself to go out somewhere and I suppose he is hungry
Banti: Machan, pasikuthu...breakfast saapdarathuku oru nalla idam sollu ...
Me: Un vaai thaan ...
I have never seen Koodu laughing like that before ... :-)

How can I leave the post without some comedies, since I am writing about Charlie Chaplin :-) Have a nice day ...

There are so many things we can do but just get stuck up with the same boring thing all year long . Make a difference . Start at least five of the above with passion and you will realize how much life gives back to you . Have a great year . Shihan hussaini :-)

I am just recapping my hobbies of my childhood and seeing how it has been proceeded. AFAIK my first hobby goes with film strip collection (like Toto from 'Cinema paradiso' :-)) I used to get a lot of that from my sister's friend and collected it in a box and see that often. I don't know when it become extinct. Then started the old fashioned stamp collection. There also my sister's friend (Her name is Senthilselvi) helped me a lot on that. Got my hands into some rare collection of indian stamps, I still remember a stamp in which Indira Gandi was there. Then that collection also got into dust. Later I have developed some interest in Martial arts after seeing some sparring in 'Kanmani poonga' in DD, but it was plucked b4 it sprouted as I was told that I'll b beating my mother like my brother who learned Karate and did the same it seems (still now I am not able to get the logic behind this).

My mom bought a new Carom board at that time and I really got engrossed with it. I will be watching my mom playing like a pro and I am sitting like a dump, suddenly one day the interest leaped its bounds and I learned that quickly resulted in my mom getting her beating :-) not from Karate but in Carom. I used to beat each and everyone in my family. Later the board got cracked due to dampness and it put an end to my Carom life. I am getting matured so do my hobbies, thus I am started with reading books mostly comprising of comic books...I became addicted to comic books, I always look for some and re-read the books that I have read again in case I was not able to find some new books.

After much delibration comic got stripped away, but reading books remained, fortunately ...I've started reading any new book that I am able to get my hands into and the habit is still on the go :-) during the same time I was drawn towards computers (it was around 8th standard I guess) and learnt the DOS operating system alongwith wordstar and foxpro :-) and this interest held me in chosing my specialisation as Computer Science and Engineering in Anna University.

Next year I have got some wonderful friends (Raja, Mahendran and Kathiravan) bcoz of them I started learning about History and Politics and got very much interested in solving puzzles, especially the ones which requires some out of box thinking. At the time an academy called SCYCA (Self Confidence Youth Cultural Academy) came to our school and taught us yogasanas. My interest in yoga got its root here and later flourished during my college days due to Bhoopesh and Isha yoga. During this period (around 10th end) I asked for Mom for joining a Gym in my hometown and I really love to have huge muscles like the body building champs :-) and I was turned down again stating that I shud concentrate on studies as the forthcoming 2 yrs(11th and 12th standard) seems to be most important in my life and things like this will deteriorate my concentration towards my studies. So a brief full stop to hobbies section in my life for some 2 yrs.
In the college I was a free bird and able to execute my wishes as I wish, but unfortunately I haven't wished much. Just because of Bhoopesh, who forced me to join Isha yoga by paying frm his own pocket, made me realise the other perspective of yoga and its inner meaning. Now I laid my hands on my brand new P III rig and i teared it apart, tried to learn something out of my own. My interest slowly develops into PC video games and I got addicted to it. I love games which potentially requires very high reflexes.

I am right now working in as a professional in Cognizant and I am executing my childhood wishes like Martial arts and body building stuffs. I have joined Isshinryu Karate and getting trained under the grandmaster Shihan Hussaini. I am waking up @ 4 in the morning and doing my karate workout frm 5 to 7. Joined a gymnasium but I was unable to continue bcoz of scheduling problem and clashes with Karate, so for the time being I sacrificed body building but anyway I will start with it with a new vigor soon ...

I have some other interests which I am dying to learn are digital photography, musical instruments, movie making...and I need a separate posting for the last one...so leaving it right now on that.

This is the history of my hobby centre and I wud like to ask u something? R u satisfied with what u r doing and just by doing that alone? Don't u think that u are stuck up with the same boring stuff again and again? Have u ever thought of giving it atleast a try of something new? If anyone asks u about this do u always say the 2 words - "No time"? R u the person who woke up after 7 in the morning? R u using the weekends properly? R u managing ur time properly? How long that u have been wasting ur times in chit chatting - provided u r not doing anything other than ur professional work? Life is a marvellous piece of stone given in our able hands and only our decisions can carve the statue out of it ...Just learn something new, do something new ...run for ur interests, develop many hobbies and work diligently and dedicated on those things ...Hope the life blesses u with much more capabilities bcoz of that.
