and ..yeah....phew!!!!

Rendezvous With Nature..

The famous sunday trip was planned today...we decided to go to melkotai....had been to this place a long time ago...and i wanted to go there....and also know why mani 'sir' has got such a predeliction to this place....

The Trip!!!
We started around 9:30....two cars for 6 people..bad idea...fun and comfortable at first ...but about the economics...it was a real crap idea...no more abt it !!....anyway enetered mysore road..at 10:00 ... broke our fast at lokaruchi (ok restaurant..but the only decent place int that road!!!..)....and then took a right from mandya circle towards melkotai...(36k frm there!!!)...and then it started...The weather was just too good...cloudy ..not so gloomy...cool and breezy ,almost windy....the route was completely desserted...just wheatgrass on the road..cows and a water stream (personally thank god for all this...esp the desserted part!!!)...just the odd vehicle...we wanted to stop everywhere and take photos.. :) ... we reached by 12:15...
Confusion galore...we missed nandan's car (very easy to....just blink ur eyes!!)...and they went to some temple..and we went to some temple...we had the darshan...nice temple(its in the city and not on the hill..).....and then nandan on his 'searchin for us' endeavor...found us...!! and finally we ended up scolding him telling him that this was the main temple... :) ... and then went to the 'main' temple (on the hill)..parked with difficulty...(yes!!! yes!! ...parking problems!!!...)...climbed some real steep(read cruel) steps...and then enetred the temple...nothing like the other temple..it had some sheets in the rock...kinda diff...and then just went exploring the place ..and then found a dude near the entrance to the cave...

Cave..
I am claustrophobic...but that did not deter me from going inside the cave...it was fun at frst ...dark and trying to grope around..hoping to find someone...u know filmi style... :)....anyway it was ok....and then it started getting narower...narrower!!....i am not thin..but i am not fat...so u know narrower directly translates to trouble..anyway crossed that hurdle with some difficulty...(from my friends that is...)...and then immd what do we find???...and even narrower passage... .. paranoia sets in... with lot of self assurane that i wont die of choking in a room filled with friends who make obscene jokes at u .. i cross that as well...u have to real flat to cross that...and move like a slug...and then the ordeal was over...phew...

Pillars.
This place is very famous ...it comes in many movies..dalapathi..lot of scenes and rakamma song....padiyappa...the famous theerpu place...it comes in other movies as well...its actually a nothing place...just 4 pillars coming out of nowhere..going nowhere......but still...its got some kind of atttraction to it...and then we climb to the top of it...and then boy...the wind...it just blew us away...literally....i was struggling to keep my feet....and after all the photos..we left..not b4 mom nature gives us somethin to remember the place...a drizzle ..more like a water spray out of barbers water bottle....
The concept of a cloudy..windy...cool day with a tryst of that spary..just was too too good to digest...


the nuetralizer...
If u ever plan a gr8 trip to somewhere...and want to actually come back...make sure u dont hit mysore-magadir oad in bangalore at any time b/w 4-9 pm..its awful..and can have detrimental effects on ur sanity....

I just Realized...

that its fun and simpler to be Pessimistic....why??
Quoting some wise dude...-"............people either verify that you were right all along or you are pleasatly surprised".....this patch actually works for me...but the trick is not overdo the pessimistic thingy...as in become overtly or overly depressed or make it contagious...(sin! sin! sin!)....it works only if its not contagious ..... for starters try it for the 'Expecting my marks' situation.....if it does not work...you can throw all kinds of abuses at me.....or ....forget it ....it may actually not work ...... :).....

OMG ! Lewis Hamilton!!!!

This guy is just going places ...!!! Winning a race in F1 itself is no mean thing..to finish on the podiun in all the 7 races so far...that too in your debut season...being the first Black driver in history to take part...the youngest in the present set of drivers..the youngest ever...the list goes on!!! i am a big fan of Micheal Schumacher ... including his antics.....so if this dude continues in this pace...Schumi might soon be eclipsed....No one expected him to do so well...inclucing him....so i just hope he never lets the fame and paranoia around him get into his head...Let the honeymoon of sorts continue...there are stil 10 more races to go!!!!

p.s - Poor Alonso!!!

Pirates Of the Carribean : At Worlds End - A Biased Review!!!

Watched Pirates yesterday..the final installment....and i should say was quite a disappointment....That too for a POTC afficianado i felt the movie was boring....I Still like the movie ...will watch it in the DVD (all 3 continuously....also i need subtitles for the 3rd!!!)....Johnny Depp and Gregory Rush was the only saving grace ......


The marriage of Orlando and Keira (whatta babe!!!).....was hilarious....i missed this kind of fun in the movie..which was so much in abundant in the earlier versions....Even the climax ..which was touted very good...failed to excite me!!! the whirlpool scene created by Calypso(btw what is she in the movie....i did not understand anything about her other than that she was betrayed by Davy!!)...Nothing much worth mentioning!!!
This year has seen two sequels fail ...i just hope the dear ogre does not meet the same fate...
Shrek 3 here i come!!!!

Anyway buzz me on this....

SandCrap+AlienCrap+SpiderMan2 = SpiderCrap 3

Watched Spiderman 3.........the first installment was really good...the second one was ok...so by the thoery of extrapolating the third one is bad!!!! the fallacy was to introduce too many characters...it had a tad too many!!!!The villans had no substantial roles ... just animated sequences!!!!
Sentimental scenes and romantic scenes in great movies are often felt and never noticed...thats the problem..... you know a movie is srewed when it starts getting all mushy and boring....thats exactly what happens in the movie...
Pluses (yes there are).....Action sequences(fx is top notch).....Comedy Scenes....some were really good...
From hearsay i think this the the last of the Series..hopefully...toby mcguire was good ....but Kirsten Dunst looks like his Aunt and his aunt looks like his Grandmom.....

If you are planning to watch this movie...dont wear your thinking cap and go...actually dont go with any sense of expectation...just go dumb....you may like it!!!!
