2 Year....

Life is strange...and it rarely plays out the way you plan it. I never thought I'll be working in Chennai...that too for such a long time. But I did...and will be completing 2 years here shortly. Even stranger is the fact that I actually like it here.

Made some really good friends...went for couple of trips...saw countless movies (2 per week)...and went out for lunch/dinner almost every weekend.

I guess its not the place you like or dislike...its the people and friends you have there which makes the difference.

So many things to write about...


Satyam goes kaboom !!! I never thought something like this can happen to such a reputed company...but Mr Raju had other ideas I guess.

Another interesting piece of news is regarding my 2nd favorite topic...cricket. ICC
announced their 'All Time Greats' list and guess what...Sachin Tendulkar is not in top 20...this is down right criminal. And it gets better...Brian Lara is also not in Top 20.

And now to movies...Ghajini...blockbuster masala movie making at its best...I think Amir khan took it as a challenge that people associate him with meaningful movies and don't see him as a superstar whose movies will run in small centers as well.


I'm sure Ghajini will be among the top 5 grosser of all time...nice
to see Amir doing action/masala role after a long time.

Still no action???




Ev
erything is back to how it used to be...India blaming Pakistan and 'warns' them of dire consequences if they don't act. Pakistan still in denial, plays a victim and US after initially supporting India, again praises Pakistan for their efforts to eliminate terrorism.

Everything
is back to how it used to be...except for the people who lost their loved ones during those 3 days...things will never be the same for them.

India needs to take some action (I'm know govt. is making efforts but those are clearly not enough). US/UK or any other country is not going to help India...its our own fight which we have to fight alone. We can not run to US every time something happens and expect them to sort things out for us (its not fucking 5th class where you run to the teacher whenever someone is making fun of you).

The govt. needs to show some backbone (and grow some balls while they are at it). I'm not asking them to go postal on Pakistan like Israel but please take some action, apart from sharing the evidence (or facts or findings or whatever it is) with every damn country in the world and hoping that someone will stand up for you.
