Sweetest Moment Of My Life...

There will be a moment in my destiny
When I see my dream become reality

And until that moment of sweet ecstasy
I shall fight fate and earth to my victory


probably there is none among u who havent read this one I used to call my anthem..u would have seen me scribbled it everywhere..now it lies written only in my diary and I didnt even remember it well..have i become less ambitious? (growing older?!) but Guru has recharged me as it will anyone who watches it....if u haven't watched it yet u r wasting time! go watch it NOW!!!

i grabbed my diary to see it again as it goes somewhat like the Jaage Hain / Ore Kanna number...hmm but just writing is all so easy!

download the hindi version here, tamil version here :) what a song! since watching the film i have been playing it non stop all day and night..lucky to have a room mate in Senthil! ;)

a rough translation of the song would go like:

All my life I have dreamt
a dream in my heart

Untill the day that dream turns true
I shall hold not let go of my breathe

Even if the sky falls upon me
I shall but only again raise

If I have you to fall back upon
I shall go on and buy the moon

A Merchant Of Dreams.. Guru!

There are two types of leaders in this world:

Those who speak the truth and be epitome of all good.

And then, those who invoke dreams.

Gurubhai in Guru is truly of the latter creed. Durubhai Ambani on whose life the film is inspired, was indeed one.


There are two types of films in this world:

Those that provide a brief escapade from your real life.
Those that leave you inspired and give life a shot with new zest.

Guru is a treat for your eyes, your heart, your mind, your soul and your dreams.

More so for me with the coming together of all my favs...Abishek Bachan, Mani Ratnam, A.R.Rahman..its as good as it gets.

But I may not be the only one to come out of the evening show and get the ticket and go back for the night show. Or may all those who have problems with sleeping at night.

Go and get yourself inspired...watching Guru might just be an important moment in your life!

'Come, Dream with me....'..Gurubhai is here!

an empty mind - exam amnesia

today i suddenly felt like i was sanjay ramaswamy...well no ring a ring o' roses with asin in europe, but saw some engineering theory in practice :
an acausal memoryless system whose present output doesnot depend on past inputs. period.

do they have a word for the opposite of deja vu? here my mind was saying 'hai nice to meet u'. what a bliss...

with me,

speed of study = 1 / time left.

its always inversely proportional..and by a steep load line . the notebook i bought at semester start but wrote just a few pages over 3 months, got over in an hour yesterday. from evening 7 to morning 7 my mind sucked in all that i should have learn the entire time. or so i thought....

im usually quite handy in the 11th hour show me what u can do thing, but today my transistor choked probably load chipping off driving point.

but where does all this concentration over long hours, ploughing along chasing the impossible go when u had the time? make no mistake this is harder work.

do i wait just for the thrill? its one of those moments in your life you very badly want to kick yourself in the ass, but just can't reach the damn thing. you really can't...i have been trying since evening...

another new day day, a new exam..and some programming = some logic. in fact perfect karma...what u sow u reap. in programming parlance: garbage in garbage out! no chasing around and making sense of currents who themselves have no idea what are they up to...amen to all that.

"the most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. it is the source of all true and science" - albert einsten ....and so begins the preface of the book for tomorrow's exam. beautiful. but....i'm in preface. not everything in life changes afterall.

the Second Coming of the MahaRaj

Vengaskar, Chairman of Selection Panel : ""He has played well in the Tests and it might be a good time to revive the old partnership between him and Tendulkar at the top of the order in the One Day team." Sourav has forced his way back to the one day team now! And how?

Take this! Ganguly ended the Test series (comeback series after a year) as the highest run scorer for India. No Indian batsman-neither the world’s greatest Sachin Tendulkar (199) nor Rahul "The Wall" Dravid (125) or the Very Very Special Laxman (180)-could improve on it. Ganguly’s 214 runs (average: 42.80) will remembered as one of the more significant batting performances in Indian cricket, in what was otherwise a dismal toothless pathetic unbecoming embarrassing display by India in the South Africa tour.

His arrival wasn’t marked by joy or euphoria as now, rather he was greeted with skepticism and cynical laughs: India had just been battered in the One-day series and his recall was seen more as an appeasement ploy. He was up against not just against the South African pace attack, but against a coach who had master minded his expulsion , a captain who sneaked into his shoes, neither of whom wanted him back.

Worse, nobody really believed he would last long on the hard and bouncy pitches against express speed and raw aggression. So while the Indian team floundered, and the world laughed, Sourav was scripting one of the greatest comebacks in cricket history. He did get hit by the rising ball in virtually every match, but he also made sure his batting was a hit too. He took blows on his body, on his shoulder ,on his elbow, his helmet broke the first delivery he faced in the second innings of the last test. He flinched almost every time but he didn’t look harried or uncomfortable; if anything he looked much more determined and eager to keep going.

This is a success of one man's will power steeped against every odd. This second coming, of course, wasn’t easy: it has come after months of immense pain, tribulations and a million doubts. Every single former cricketer and expert was absolutely sure that he was finished as a player; he alone believed that he still had a few days left in him.

All he had was one thing, but had loads of it : self belief.

The game is not yet over, Mr. Chappel... he has just begun!

'Semenyih' Nagaram Urangum Neram..!

its 4.30 am and im yet to make any head way with what i am trying to study and turned on 'newyork nagaram' the Tamil number.....the following is product of my frustration..lol!


'semenyih' nagaram urangum neram
thanimai adarnthathu
paniyum padarnthathu
kaatil irutiye nariyum oolam vitathu

naangu suvargalukule naanum 'electronic design' puthagamum
kadiyo kadiyaiyo oo000!
kodumai kodumaiyo oo00!

'notes' ellam thaalatu polla ennai uranga vaika ethuvum villanga villai!
nilavin olliyil nalla iluthu porthi thoonga thona onnum era villai!

'current' orupuram 'voltage' veru puram yethu yenge yen pogutho theriya villai!
nimidathuku ellum oru kullapam theerka ithuvarai onnum puriya villai illai!

naan padithathu inge padika vendiyathu ange, ithil naatkal nimidangal aanathu eno!
vaan inge neelam ange intha uvamaiku villakamaaga povathu en 'exam' thaalo!

at this point i stopped messing with the song as the line to follow is my fav in the song..some of u could have missed this peach of poetry, lost in the singing:

(the original lines)

"naat kurippil nooru thadavai unthan peyarai ezuthum en penna
ezuthiathum erumbu moikka peyarum aanathu enna thaenna!"

wow! what imagination from Vaali! the Vaali - A.R.Rahman magic at work!

hmm..cant wait for A.R.R.'s next in tamil. but 'ay hairathe' in Guru is enough for the season ;)

talking of music releases, today is the audio launch of 'Deepavali' - Lingu Swamy's maiden production venture! watch out for 'Pogaathe' song....a song that will stay with u, with an equally imposing rich and beautiful visual in the film. there is also another beautiful song in the first half that will have u humming, i dont recollect now......anyways if u didnt get where this is going :

go buy the cassettes and CD's today! ;)

White Flowers (translation attempt of "Vellai Pookal" )

the following is my humble translation of the A.R.Rahman - Vairamuthu classic, "Vellai Pookal", which i felt was very appropriate to be revisited, as the world awakens to a new year 2007.

im no way equipped to translate verses of some one as Vairamuthu, so kindly forgive any short comings. i have given my shot in trying to convey the feel of the song to non-tamil readers. for the original lyrics and song download, pls visit my other blog . my best wishes to everyone for a dashing smashing new year!

White Flowers..

























































let the awakening earth's peace age unfurl
as white flowers bloom world over

let buds to blossom be gently awaken
as the land is bathed in golden sun

let a sleeping child arise
to the loving mother's caress

let the morning world stir to life
to the innocent child's warm smile

(let the awakening...)

melody of the wind, music of the raindrops
can they bring more joy than blissful silence?

can a million melodies, or verses strewn by a poet
more powerfully convey than a slipping tear drop?

(let the awakening...)

where a child gazes his tiny eyes upon
bewitch the sky there, oh lovely moon!

where humanity's sanity or unity dies
enthrall there, oh nightingale of peace!

(let the awakening...)
