I read an article on how to be annoying...a really funny piece...Here are some of them :D -
1) Leave your indicator on, for the complete duration of the ride.
2) Repeat everything someone says as a question.
3) Holler random numbers while someone is counting.
4) Invite lots of guests to other's parties.
5) Drum on every available surface.
6) Change channels 5 minutes before the end of the show.
7) Forget the punch line to a long joke but assure the listener it was a "good one".
8) Follow a few paces behind someone spraying everything they touch with room freshener.
9) Never make eye contact or never break eye contact.
10) Signal a conversation is over by clamping your hands over your ears.

This is the chapter of my life where I am extremely happy and where everything seems to be going just right on the personal as well as the professional fronts...there are so many things that I can actually write about, in my blog...but there still seems to me to be a dearth of ideas...I am seriously concerned as to whether I am losing the battle to stick on to a hobby for more than a month :(...

I have always wondered what inspires people into asking certain questions and saying certain things.
Here are some questions that annoy me to the core of my being-
Wassup??
How are you supposed to answer such a question?
There might be a million things going on in my life at the point, at which, this question is directed at me...am I supposed to give a summary to that effect?
Or am I supposed to just say a plain "nothing much" even though I know that’s a lie?
Or I ease up the situation by asking a silly question like "do you want me to say the sky or the ceiling?"
People actually laugh when I say that...
Sometimes I ask this question ( I mean “wassup??”) just to bug others, but I am surprised as to how I am the only one who seems to get irritated by this question...others just say "nothing much" and move on with the conversation...
Howz u doing??
Come on!! When you can say it in proper English with a simple "how are you doing?" why use some stupid "howz u"... as far as I know there is no word called "howz" in the English language? and please don’t say," I use it because it’s cute." It’s definitely not that...
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
Or its variation like- what do you think your achievements would be, say 10 years from now?
I feel like bashing the person who asks me this question...
All I can do is grin and bear it and say," I am a person who takes life one day at a time. But, I want to be successful in whatever I do." how much more predictable can that get?
But what I really want to say is-" Why are you being so nosey? How on earth am I supposed to know where I will be in 10 years time? I can hardly predict what is going to happen tomorrow, and you expect data regarding the next 10 years of my life? I am sorry I am just too short sighted (literally and figuratively) to do justice to this question.
And why is it always 10 years? Why not 5 years or 15 years? Is it some kind of a lucky number or something?"
The person who directed this question would probably run away by the time I finish my tirade :)
Look at you; you are all grown up.
Do you want me to remain a dwarf throughout my life or something?
By the way I look at myself in the mirror everyday and you don’t have to particularly tell me to look at myself.
Wish your mom/dad/sister/brother/neighbour/dog/etc/etc/etc from my side.
Seriously how is it going to matter to the concerned person whether I wish them from your side or not?
They don’t even know you.

Sindhu Bhiravi
I have been listening to the songs from this really old Tamil movie called Sindhu Bhiravi...and all I can say about my reaction to it is, that I am floored...
The songs actually make my hair stand at end...
All the songs have a strong classical base and the lyrics hold a lot of meaning...no peppy numbers here..
Pure melody...not like the nonsense that is being churned out now a days in the name of music...
Seriously, you will start loving Carnatic music if you listen to these songs..
Illayaraja and Jesudas seem to be at their best...
Jesudas renders the songs so effortlessly that you think, its so easy, i can sing it just like that..but when it actually comes down to it, the songs are really complex and very difficult...
a true maestro...
And I have noticed that which ever old song I like in Tamil is composed by Illayaraja and sung by Jesudas.. a truly remarkable combination methinks...
if you can get hold of the songs from this movie listen to them, they are amazing

Started watching 2 new shows on Star World-Heroes and Prison Break
As most English serials go, both seem to have incoherent series of events…but the issues tend to get sorted out after the initial few episodes and you start understanding the storylines...
My take on both-
HEROES
Bunch of people from different countries (mostly from the US of A) who aren’t connected in anyway...thing they have in common- possess some kind of special power....

My take on both-
HEROES
Bunch of people from different countries (mostly from the US of A) who aren’t connected in anyway...thing they have in common- possess some kind of special power....
sample this- a guy who can read other people's thoughts, a guy who can absorb special people's powers, a guy who can fly, a cheerleader whose cells regenerate (that means- she can live through life threatening accidents without a scratch), etc.
anyway one of these people is a painter who paints the future under the influence (drugs!! of course)..And he comes up with a painting of a nuclear explosion and all these people have a part to play in saving the world from the explosion...
The Indian guy in it is really HOT :)... my favourite character though would be the Japanese guy who bends time and space (time travel) he is really funny...
There is one character though who suffers from MPD…I don’t know how that’s supposed to be a special power...
Its very reminiscent of X-MEN...you tend to compare the characters in the 2 but X-MEN was slicker and made on a larger scale and budget...
Rating: 3 and 1/2
PRISON BREAK
If you don’t mind watching violence on TV, then this is a good pick...
Guy kills vice president's brother…does not confess to committing the crime but security tapes show otherwise…convicted and sentenced to death...

PRISON BREAK
If you don’t mind watching violence on TV, then this is a good pick...
Guy kills vice president's brother…does not confess to committing the crime but security tapes show otherwise…convicted and sentenced to death...
younger brother trusts him...pulls of a false heist and is thrown into the same penitentiary....has the whole prison layout tattooed on his body so he can get elder bro out...
Some characters thrown in include, murderer's former girlfriend (lawyer) who is searching for evidence as to who actually committed the crime...and a bunch of prisoners who can’t seem to keep out of trouble and can’t wait to get a share of killing younger bro...
The show is getting kind of interesting...difficult to understand the dialogues sometimes because of poor sound quality and dominance of the background music…but holds your interest for most part...
Rating: 3
P.S- ratings are out of 5 (obviously)
