Rain Rain..Oh Rain!!!
Off-late it has been raining heavily in Hyderabad..I am not sure about why it starts raining when we leave office in the evening...The first drop touches the ground and my windscreen the very moment we leave..Somedays we get stuck..full bumper to bumper traffic...gosh...sometimes sewage water overflowing a narrow underpass..half tire level...all these the negatives..push them aside...the monsoon does bring very beautiful skies to our city..its so beautiful that I always end up clicking them...ooh...I just love the views...posting a couple of snaps..a peep into the abode of gods..from the city of Nizams through my bedroom window...
Trees with legs :)
My small garden
It was this bad a week ago..
Couldnt see anything..but just clicked..heehee
Laughing Clouds..
Can you see the eyes..nose..mustache and a smile..
Doesn't this look like a lazy strokes of a painter?
no comments..i was speechless to see the colors..
See the patterns...wooo...

Friday the 13th --Ooh--Freaky
A freaky movie..and above all Friday the 13th is 'the most widespread superstition'
The sixth day of the week and the number 13 both have foreboding reputations said to date from ancient times, and their inevitable conjunction from one to three times a year (there happens to be only one such occurrence in 2010, in the month of August) portends more misfortune than some credulous minds can bear.
According to some sources it's the most widespread superstition in the United States today. I would say that it has to be counted in the top list of superstitions across the world.
Some people refuse to go to work on Friday the 13th; some won't eat in restaurants; many wouldn't think of setting a wedding on the date.
Someone's misfortune...passed on and on through centuries...adding on all sort of spices to be feared by the world...Strange!!!...
Well...On a personal level...I will have to be very cautious today...

India..Oh! My India
Before I even start thinking of writing this blog..
A very Happy Independence to All my fellow country Men..Proud citizens of a wonderful country. Vande Mataram..
-------------------------------ok....Let the thoughts flow...
Another Independence Day coming up..An entry in the calendar..Frowning folks as its falling on the weekend..No Holiday..Dry day is a reason to be sad for many..Yes..that's more or less it..That's what independence means to us now..I was just wondering how much it actually matters..
As our first Prime Minister said “At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance….. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.”
I don't know about the country going for a re-discovery now.But if we the people do a bit of retrospection we would doubt the presence of patriotism around us.
If I was to divide the patriots in types..
Class 1 - Rarely spotted at crowded places but always seen at Red Fort on 15th August.
Class 2 - Office Goers..They remember it as its a Holiday..Cleaning, dusting etc etc
Class 3 - Found everywhere. The common man. Who is least bothered about these things.
and I am not sure where to put the most important of folks...The defence personnel and the students. The people who are actually looking forward to the independence day..Flag hostings, Parades and fun..Love you guys..You are really a class apart.
And the current situation is...now 63 years...It takes an Aamir Khan and a channel to tell us "Aditi Devo Bhava"..Incredible India ...right?...It was incredible..Many doubt it now.....Funny Isn't it?..
This is a wake up call...To stand united against all forces of bad and evil..As one country..As an Indian..As You...Jai hind...

A song from me - "Bunnies and Birds"
.....Hey Its a bunny, Hey its a bird
.....Shut up and sleep,its just a cloud
Flying around careless, the mighty whites
some white, some black, some shaded grey
come out and see the ones,at those heights
its sun then the rain, some as we pray
.....Hey Its a bunny, Hey its a bird
.....Shut up and sleep,its just a cloud
once when i was a kid,a real spoiled brat
away from home, up on the green meadows
Saw one, with the look of a nasty rat
Ran home, never looked at the shadows
.....Hey Its a bunny, Hey its a bird
.....Shut up and sleep,its just a cloud
today when i looked,out my big french window
saw a clear sky, all of blue and gloom
then it came, a small mushy white dove
i smiled as it filled whites from the loom
.....Hey Its a bunny, Hey its a bird
.....Shut up and sleep,its just a cloud

Photo Journalism - An Amazing Career
It was something which I was waiting to hear since long. Always wanted to do something nice and niche. If related to writing..Nothing like it. and if it has a flavour of travel and photography..Woweee..I am in for it...Well so giving all the credit to Wiki for helping me with the details and also Google (My Guru...and so for many others)..Please read on...
Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism that creates images in order to tell a news story. It is distinguished from other close branches of photography when the qualities like Timeliness, Objectivity, Narratives.
Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (physical danger, weather, crowds).
People have been using images to depict events for centuries, from rock paintings to engravings in major newspapers. The first big event to be captured in photography was the Crimean War, establishing the groundwork for the professional field of photojournalism. Initially, photographs were often used to accompany text stories to provide some variation and visual interest, but over time, images began to be used more exclusively to narrate stories in the media.
The field of photojournalism is distinct from that of documentary photography. Although both involve taking photographs which are objective, honest, and informative, photojournalism involves photographing specific events, while documentary photography focuses on ongoing situations. A photographer who follows traditional farmers in rural England is a documentary photographer, while a photographer who takes pictures of the aftermath of a suicide bombing for publication in the news is a photojournalist.
Both film and digital cameras, along with video cameras, can be used by photojournalists. The equipment tends to be state of the art, with many photojournalists seeking out lightweight, rugged equipment so that they are not hindered by the tools of their trade. Getting the perfect picture can also involve a fair amount of danger, as it involves being present on the front lines of an event. At the Queen of England's garden party, this may not be terribly risky, but photographers who work in war zones and in periods of civil unrest face significant risks.
I found this interesting. Hope its of interest to you as well..Thanks for reading.

Poetry - Mystic Regime
Came across this old poem which I had written sometime back. For those who believe in time, its September 13, 2005. and those like me who think that time is just another attribute for measuring the journey to the ultimate truth ,this poem was written just after the rains..
The bells of wisdom blew in harmony
sacred chants of praise filled the air
the wind wandered as if, was lost
across the horizon, went on a ceremony
drops of dew awoke to a new day
freshness filled the soul, cleansing feel
sandal scents took over ruling mist
the bride dressed in red, made her way
spreading the warmth of love and hope
she walked along, awakening the stars
her mate, the ruler but of the dark
their union and everything under scope
they meet twice to begin and end
even the gods, take stands for a see
a short time when goodness rules
it'll happen again, but at day's end
these words of mine, a prayer for you
all dreams real and may come true
do share the goodness of this day
spread happiness, it returns to thou
The bells of wisdom blew in harmony
sacred chants of praise filled the air
the wind wandered as if, was lost
across the horizon, went on a ceremony
drops of dew awoke to a new day
freshness filled the soul, cleansing feel
sandal scents took over ruling mist
the bride dressed in red, made her way
spreading the warmth of love and hope
she walked along, awakening the stars
her mate, the ruler but of the dark
their union and everything under scope
they meet twice to begin and end
even the gods, take stands for a see
a short time when goodness rules
it'll happen again, but at day's end
these words of mine, a prayer for you
all dreams real and may come true
do share the goodness of this day
spread happiness, it returns to thou
Poetry - Life of a Bubble
Was born in full bloom, in the heat
Eager to face the world out there
Looked up to the clear blue skies
No way down, Destiny is way above
Lost was the bubble on its way up
Fighting back all those ugly thoughts
Followed one which just got burst
No way down, Destiny is near the top
Screamed another, fate is decided
Many in line, life is turning them on
Pushed away the desire to stay blown
No way down, Destiny is way above
Pushed harder, to face the nasty truth
The moment of life, meeting its death
At the brim, smiled just before the burst
No way down, Destiny's left near the top
Eager to face the world out there
Looked up to the clear blue skies
No way down, Destiny is way above
Lost was the bubble on its way up
Fighting back all those ugly thoughts
Followed one which just got burst
No way down, Destiny is near the top
Screamed another, fate is decided
Many in line, life is turning them on
Pushed away the desire to stay blown
No way down, Destiny is way above
Pushed harder, to face the nasty truth
The moment of life, meeting its death
At the brim, smiled just before the burst
No way down, Destiny's left near the top

We the Paranoids..
"Blame it on Fate" thats what we hear everytime anything goes wrong. Time is just another culprit to be blamed. No money..Its not yet time for you to have money...No Job..again fate..no marriage...obviously fate..everything is fate..and man had this reason to streamline things when there was no order in the society. Now...today when everything is in place..be it a home delivery (:O) or a highspeed internet connection, every T, D and H will call themselves tech savvy. Dont know anything...but will for sure have a phone / laptop they dont know how to use..too much..Is it money thats playing the game these days..no i dont think so coz today the most calls from everyone's mobiles go to investment companies..savings savings savings...but for whom..no one knows...everyone says ..for a better tomorrow..but for whose tomm are we fighting..
our cycle of life is very very simple...Born --> Live --> Create --> Live --> Die...In this we do everything...but what do we actually acheive here...nothing...we are born..fine...but someone took care of us..lived...again someone comes in...work for someone...somebody has to pay right..or manage i believe...and then create...one person cannot do that also....again live..looking after someone..and being looked after..and then finally the happiest stage in life..die...Thats probably the only thing which comes to one and only that person can die...cannot share...cannot pass...neither can it be imposed on anyone...
So what are you searching for...your death time on some search engine...go on go on ...there are many calculators available...

Movie Review - Janakan - Malayalam
This has the look of a serious movie..with a family touch..and it is indeed a serious movie..A touch of Mohan Lal's gimmicks and Suresh Gopi's beaten up emotions...the movie is a worth watch..
A bit different from my review of bodyguard, i wont tell the story of this movie..Not because it has a suspense and my blog would dampen the feelings...The reason s...You should see the movie as it has a very very good message...and is made much like our society behaves these days..
Applaudable performances from Lt. Col Lal and Bharat Suresh Gopi.
Another thing which i liked in the movie is the selection of artists.MohanLal and Suresh Gopi are fitting the roles they play. and the villians...Gosh..when I saw the characters...I wished to get a chance to slap them myself..the artists are that good...
And a standing ovation for the director to consider a topic such as RAPE which is a social menace..and also the way the accused should be treated...Hats Off...and Thank you for such a movie..I Say So!!!!

Our Indica Xeta - WE Love it
Nearly 6 months..read too many reviews...knocked many doors...took multiple opinions...feared my decision..goodness...had sleepless nights..and what not..
Opinions ranged from buying a Maruti Wagon R, Ford Figo, Hyundai i10, Hyundai Santro, Chevy Spark, Zen Estillo and a couple more...some would stress the value for money..some emphasised on the mileage..some the looks and some the brand...and me..I thought all are right...until...
The day me and my wifey decided to buy a Tata Indica Xeta LPG (Furnace Red)...we were sure of what we are doing...
I even took inspiration from the name...and named my blog after it..XETA RED...

No offence meant...but i dont like the look of a WagonR (keeping aside everything), Figo was not yet launched, Hyundai was not fitting up in my budget and i couldnt fit up in an Alto or Spark..Beat was good but on road prices killed us..Xeta gave us all...
Looks + Price + Space + etc etc etc
(I don't intend to go for a rally..no cross country..no competition for the looks / mileage..i just need a car which would fit my needs and is affordable..coz its me who will be paying for it and driving it..
NOT MY WELL WISHERS AND EXPERT CAR REVIEWERS WHO compare INDIA TO AMERICA)
Thank you Tata for this simple wondercar. Well coming back to my car..Love you dear car..muaaaah!!!
Evolution
Despite the uncertainty on how life began, it is generally accepted that those flocking to a water hole is the most shabbily lit part of the city are called party animals. Forgetting or keeping side, the evolution of those who inhabited the Earth from approximately 3–4 billion years, we did evolve and that too on a very wide angle.
In the panoramic view of life when the world is standing bewildered about the reason of your birth, Ask anyone where they came from. It won’t be from the sands of time or not even from the near past. We humans have a very different route of evolution to trace back.
Beyond the times of love and war
Beyond the era of heaven and hell
An age of life when man lived full
Not a thing to loose, none to fear
Kings of the jungle, that’s what we were
Ate raw, without a single thought
killed to survive, was never for fun
we lived long, with no pledges attached
Those days are gone, now we are re-fined
Polished with manners, eating with steel
We kill for pleasure and fun for sure
have lots of money, now a reason to live
should think back and now think big
think which is good, stone or steel
to live with others or to live for one
we now more animals, when did we evolve

Poetry - This is what we are..
We are happy, or atleast have a smile
Never Sad, but do jewel a silly frown
Never jealous, but hey whats the deal?
Live on, this is what we really are
Worried about others, for sure bad
Selfish, but do care for some charity
Some money for kids and one holy dip
We are clean, this is what we really are
Money, a way to live but never spend
Credit is the word, but sure cant repay
No emotions, grey cells are thinking high
Dead ones, this is what we really are
Do we ever, really care for others?
Do we ever, do think of emotions?
Can we ever, do forget money?
Forget it, this is what we really are.
---think about this--even machines have started to think these days...

A Pathetic Short Story
Manoj lay silent looking up at the tree top. There was a wood pecker somewhere on the tree but he couldn’t tell the exact location of the sound. While the pecker was busy with its job, Manoj slowly slid into his own world of dreams. He dreamt about many things which even he was not sure of. But among his many dreams was the one which was very close to his heart…the dream of his life..the dream that pulls him of his way..a dream which brings a tear of joy and also a shiny smile. I also first thought it was about a girl..but when I realised what it was..I felt bewildered…
By noon that day, the results were out and the news spread about chikki being the topper in her class. She was the beauty of the class and was looked upon in awe by the whole college. When she walked, it was said by the guys that it made them forget their existence.
The pecker continued the tapping and manoj started to get bugged by the sound. The Sound which brought him solitude was now becoming a noise. He was waiting for his life who had promised to meet him in the afternoon was not yet there.
His eyes threw a tiring glance at the watch for a number of times..he was getting annoyed by each passing moment.
She was never late and had never kept him waiting. But today when the world was at her feet, she decided to be with him in a moment later than usual..She rushed past the maddening crowd and saw him at his favourite place waiting for her. Manoj saw her running towards him..and his dream flashed in front of his eyes…the dream about chikki..his K9 companion won the “best canine” award at the “district dog show”…..I walked away wondering what his other dreams would be!!!!...Didnt get the courage to turn back and see how the wood pecker felt at that moment..poor thing..

Movie Review - BodyGuard - Malayalam
- A guy - good family - bad in studies - wants to be a baddie (a gunda / goon)
- Hears about a don-wishes to be his BodyGuard-and goes with a letter from someone (introductory letter / suparsha - even we need suparsha to become a gunda these days)
- {Someone to note here }The dons daughter - works in the factory (with designer clothes and hairdo with loads of makeup)
- tricks the guy to believe that she works for the Don-Poor honest guy believes her-Some very low level comedy attempts..
- Guy thinks she is troubled by the don-beats up a man-thats don's mon (son). Don furious. Throws him outta the house -Then---
- The girl convinces the Don-Dad, my fault..sorry -- Cries- Guy brought back home
- Next day-The very next day-Some temple-some festival- A song- Gunda's come to kill the don and family. - Armed with swords and god knows what all..
- Guys beats their *** down - Don Impressed - Makes him the bodyguard
- Vacation over - Girl wants to go back to college-Don worried-sends BG along -{Beware--There is a twist in the tale here}- To make sure that the BG is with the girl all the time, he is enrolled in college {An educated gunda}
- Guy sticks with the girl--protects her--and becomes the hero in the college-But girl is tired of the BodyGuard-and wants to avoid him
- Girl gives the guy missed calls-from a private number-[There is a scene where harisree ashokan reads private number as "Parvathy Nambiar"..hahaha...that was a good punch indeed]
- Many many calls-no identity of the girl-Guy falls for the girl-wants to meet her-No from the girl
- Girl scared but loves the guy-finally decides to meet the guy-But plans change at last minute-no meeting
- Exams scheduled-Guy decides not to appear-girl promises-if u get first rank-will meet you
- Guy studies his A** off..exams over- girl calls- says will elope
- {oops--forgot to mention--there are a couple of songs which dont relate anywhere}..so forgot where they were placed..
- ok..so they plan to elope..Next day..6 am..first train..last compartment..dialogues from both :) "if u dont come..i will end my life there"..{and meet in the otherworld maybe}..
- The guy doesnt know that its the girl who is calling him...says bye to girl and leaves...Girl calls again..
- Twist --- Maid overhears dialogue - Shocked - oooh - calls up the Don dad and leaks everything up..
- Guy caught - Thrashed - All this happens - the day is ending--aaah..if the guy doesnt reach the station--the girl will go--girl wants to save the guy--says that its someone else not her--guy is allowed to go..oohlala..
- Guy reaches station...last train about to leave--girl troubled..worried -Don Dad says to goons " Kill that bugger if there is no girl with him"..what a sentimental Don..
- Girl sends her friend to tell the guy.."will wait for your call...luv u my teddy"..friend reaches station..runs to catch the train..guy thinks its the girl who calls him..and pulls her in..hugs her..The goons see this..and leave..(good goons..)
- Girl calls friend..friend wants to save the guy..cuts the call...throws away the phone {she cud hv changed the sim at the next station..hehe..good it was not an IPhone}
- Time passes by--At the speed of light--
- Train scene-Kid reading his mothers diary-crying-his momma died sometime back {poor kid}-Guy comes-dressed in Armani--{he was having a meeting in the train--what a face life to the Indian Railways-corporate meetings happening in trains}
- Guy and kid reach the girls house-The Don's house-Don's not well-{No one is there in the house..no wife..no son..no goons..No One..may be the Don retired}
- Guy comes to know-Girl not married yet-..Dialogue--"Why???..Why???"
- Guy and kid leaving- Kid asks the girl.."Aunty can i call you Mummy?"..Girl cries..kid cries..even i cried..everyone cried..
- Now-The guy is furious on his son-freak-says-dumb kid-and- even the Don Dad says that its his wish..hehe...The Girl is ready to go..
- Station again-Guy-Girl and Kid- in the compartment {Dont understand why no one took reservations in that compartment..May be the guy booked it all...filthy rich now..he afterall had a first rank studying literature all the time..(everyscene in college was either a Shakespear or Shelly extract)
- So..Guy touches Girl (much of a suhaag raat scene look alike - closeup of palms)..Kid smiles- Train moves on..and tall grass swayed beside the tracks (i loved that portion..very scenic indeed)..
- The END
Rating : 2 / 5
Risk : :) - Leaving it to you to decide
P.S : No offence meant to anyone..Everyone is saying that the mallu industry is lacking good scripts..so didnt expect a good script at all..
Even with no good scipts in the market.. people are all investing..hehe..so the purpose here is to invest and then make everyone cry...
Sorry to folks who are real Bodyguards and hats off to them for standing stall next to the weenies in all industries

Poetry - Down the Road
Was standing in awe, near the line
striking waves, coming hard on my mind
beads of joy and floods of sorrow
am now happy, but no place to go
said i was alone long ago,a loser me
crept up a smile breaking my lips
sighed hard, pushed across the waves
Life fine Am glad, but no place to go
had a reason to fight, even with myself
now its tough, as i did win the battle
what now?, oh! its another creeping wave
cribbing, do we need a place to go ?
the wave died, sure so will i someday
my fights and false pride wont matter
a moment for others, and live in peace
i belong here, why need a place to go?
