Playbook..

Looks like Blackberry has got it finally...
check this out
It looks awesome.. probably time to get into RIM stock (up 6% after the demo) and short AAPL ??
BB is FLASHing too much about Adobe .. thats the downside.. (a dig at Mr.Jobs who seems to be proud of his non-FLASHY 10" Pad compared to a FLASHY 7" tablet)

Cloudy Morning

I just could not stomach the fact of going to office today. Felt groggy and couch potatoey. Ate some roasted peas and I started to blog. Yesterday I listened to a famous song which I had heard of. Apt song for the moment.

Ain't no Sunshine by Bill Withers.

The drummer looks drugged and that's called true style. He is stoned and he is enjoying himself.

I happened to get a copy of the 100 day movie "Krishna'n Love Story". The promos look very peppy and happy. The movie promos these days focus on color and pretty faces and this 100 day curiosity made me watch this movie.

Pretty heavy and depressing Love story : That's what it is. The love story moves beyond this dating, coffee day scenes and the heroine has put up an impressive performance; Reminded me of a piece of Kalpana's histrionics in Sharapanjara....

These south indian directors have an unofficial PhD when it comes to Love Stories.

Italian Song

I found this remix of a song called Yolanda Be Cool - We No Speak Americano. The video is hilarious...The singers seem to be so happy and enthu. Uplifting :-)

The original is on a different level, much better and even more entertaining ! Highly recommended

Renato Carosone - Tu Vuò Fa' L'Americano

Seems that this is NOT italian but some language spoken Naples, Italy. I imagine Don Corleone dancing for this song.

CWG and Cricket

Was it right to have a cricket series amidst the CWG ??

Cant the cricketers stay away from a little limelight and give other sports some chance ??

The sports markets aren't perfect yet.. so it needs some support someway..

Political Drama

whats happening in namma naadu.. karu naadu ??

another drama??

every year there is some dissidence, some coup, some no-confidence motion..etc etc ..

the only thing that is stable and growing is the corruption level.... and the business in the resorts of the neighboring states

idu copy !!!!

Identify the copy .... from the original ...

Freedom at Midnight by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre.

Finally I finished reading this magnificient book.

Here is a review of the book - Freedom at Midnight - Review

Dear Zachary

I had discovered an keyboard artist called Money Mark and I was listening to his songs. One such haunting and sad song was Color of the Blues which has a Beatlesque melody. However the video aroused my curiousity. It showed some random family snaps, of some 2008 documentary called Dear Zachary.

I read about the documentary some days ago, and it is still lingering in my mind. I think I shed a tear just by reading abt it. DO NOT READ IT. Try to get the movie. Really affecting. I have not watched this documentary but still I am sure it will have a powerful impact. Highly recommended documentary, really depressing story. Here is a trailer of Dear Zachary

Shankar

Ananth talks about Shankar in this article after 20 years since Shankar Nag passed away. The final accident.

It just offers an insight on the political views of the brothers.

Brilliant.
