Aaja Nachle ( Come let's DANCE)

Aaja Nachle...This is how I feel right now.. not jus' now but have been feeling this way for the whole day.. I feel so hyper and so wanna dance .. I was so waiting for Madhuri's( THE DANCING DIVA'S ) come back film Aaja Nachle (Come let's dance) in which she plays the role of a choreographer .. No, don worry I'm not telling you the story , I haven't caught up with the movie yet but I feel so restless and wanna watch it as soon as I can but I doubt if I could do it anytime soon :( .. Me being the dance maniac I am was so thrilled to hear a about Madhuri's come back .. The minute I heard the title track I knew I was gonna dance for this for the diwali function in my flats and the time I knew she was playing the role of a choreographer I'm jus waiting to watch her on screen .. But, poor me I couldn't even get to watch the videos of the whole song in youtube .. They aren't out yet I suppose.. Anyways till then I will manage with this




Happy weekend to all !

Kannamoochi Yenada - Movie review


Kannamoochi yenada is one of the Diwali releases for 2007 which has turned out to be a whole some family entertainer.


Cast : Prithviraj (Harish venkatraman),Sandhya(Deva sena), Sathyaraj(Arumugam),Radhika(Dhamayndhi),Sri Priya(Seetha) , Manobala


Crew: Director - V.Priya (Kanda naal mudhal fame)

Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja

Production: Radaan Media works and UTV


It is a wholesome family entertainer . The role of Harish Venkatraman is jus' tailor made for Prithviraj and he has done justice to the role.. Thou' the Mozhi hangover is seen , Prithvi is good as ever . Sathyaraj and Manobala have added some humour to the film along with Prithvi . Radhika and Sandhya have also done a good job , Thou' Sandhya could have been a little better with dialogue delivery/ recording as it sounded too artificial in some scenes. Songs were average but the picturisation was good for all the songs .. At the end of the movie when you think about there is no proper story line , it could have been much better . Neverthless , if you want an entertaining movie goahead and catch up with Kannamoochi Yenada you won't be disappointed .

Singapore, here I come......


My parents and I are planning to visit Singapore sometime around the 1st or 2nd week of January 2008. Since this is going to be my first trip to Singapore ( or anywhere out of India for that matter) ..I'm really excited . We will be there around for about 5 days I guess. So, I would like to request all my blogger friends from Singapore and others who have knowledge about the place to suggest places for sight seeing , shopping, dining and also good hotels for accomodation . The usual ones as well as the off beat places which are usually not mentioned in the guide books or websites.. I would also like to read if you have had some wonderful experience or about any general tips about visiting Singapore..


Looking forward for your responses :)

Monday morning Inspiration # 11


It takes time to heal.

Build a bridge
from now to tomorrow.
Sink the piers
deep into the Earth.
Pour in concrete
day by day,
a little at a time,
and let it set.

It takes time to heal.

It may feel very awkward,
as if you're making empty promises,
as if you're simply spanning empty space.

But someday, somehow, somewhere,
you'll find yourself
upon a brand new shore,
glancing back at the bridge
which you alone have built.

It takes time to heal.

Tag time!

Aarthi over at Lost in Utopia has tagged me to put up 8 facts about me...

Tagging rules: 1. Each blogger must post these rules 2. Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves 3. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. 4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and to read your blog.

Now, that I have already done this tag here. I have decided to do it little differently this time..


You Are An ENFJ

The Giver

You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed.
Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections.
Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down.
You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine.

In love, you are very protective and supporting.
However, you do need to "feel special" - and it's quite easy for you to get jealous.

At work, you are a natural leader. You can help people discover their greatest potential.
You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist.

How you see yourself: Trusting, idealistic, and expressive

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Bossy, inappropriate, and loud







You Should Learn Chinese



Surprised? You shouldn't be - Chinese is perfect for an ambitious person like you.

You're a natural entrepreneur, and a billion people are waiting to do business with you!




You are White Chocolate

You are White Chocolate
You are sweet, caring, and truly very innocent.
Whether your naive ways are a bit of act or not, people like to take care of you.
You are a quiet flirt, and your power is often underestimated!

You're very intuitive and sensitive. You often know other people better than they know themselves.
You're also quite optimistic, and you think well of yourself and others. You know your dreams will come true.

Your Heart Is Blue

Love is a doing word for you. You know it's love when you treat each other well.
You are a giving lover, but you don't give too much. You expect something in return.

Your flirting style: Friendly

You are a Career Girl!

You may not be a CEO yet, but you're well on your way to success.

An independent woman, you pay for your own car, clothes, and housing.
And men appreciate that - at least, the ones as driven as you are.


I'm not tagging anyone in particular as I pressume most of them would have done it.. If your reading this post and if your not tagged on this topic.. consider yourself tagged ! But, please drop in a comment as I would love to read about you.. Happy weekend to all!

Holidays...Yipeee..

Aey all I'm back in the musch neethed pase of my life - Olidays .. in case your wondering whats wrong with my typo, its jus' that I ve got cold and flu from the chill weather of Chennai..

Last week was pathetic as every side I turned there was an exam and that too right after diwali when I was not even partially out of the celebration mood.. To top it all off the cold and flu gave me company making the situation even worse.. Now that I'm done with all the exams it doesn't really matter if I still have cold , whatever it may be im going to enjoy and have fun... But, wait a minute I have a paper to be submitted for a conference which I need to look into and the dead line for the revised submission is jus' a couple of days away.. Anyways, this is something I like forward to do.. So I got to enjoy these two months and I truly deserve it for all the hardwork I have been putting in all these while.. :)

When I look into my future it looks really bright with no exams anywhere in the close proximity .And a list of festivals lined up from Kaarthigai deepam, christmas, new year, pongal et all..So, from now on you can look forward for me visiting all your blogs regularly and also look out this space for more interesting posts..

HAVE A FABULOUS WEEK !

Monday morning Inspiration # 10


Contined from my previous MMI Lessons from the road - I


U-TURN: On the road, it does not matter whose mistake it is, but what matters is whose life it is. The responsiblity of both - not hitting and not being hit is only ours . On the road we have to accept the limitations of traffice and we have to manoeuvre our progress.


Unspoken message: On the road called life, with all the traffic called relationships, you have to accept the differences and limitations of people and manoeuvre your progress. In relationships too its not the question of whose life it is. The road sign 'U-TURN' keeps telling us that it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, but YOU TURN and do not expect the world to turn. 'YOU TURN' is the secret to quality of life.

My diwali week in a nutshell


Diwali this year was special to me in more ways than one..

Let me start with 5 days before diwali and how it all proceeded ..

3rd of November was the final day of dance practice - Practice session for the diwali function in my flats , it was so much fun and enjoyed myself to the hilt as I love dancing .. It was also a day when all kids in my flats started with bursting crackers , I was only a spectator and was taking care of few small kids as they were all too excited on bursting crackers , there were also a few morons who made me run around the flat scaring me with lighting lakshmi vedis (one kinda cracker) in their hand and threatening to throw it on me.. huff.. at last I ran home :P ..

4th of November was my mom's bday and also the day for the diwali party to be hosted in my flats... Altogether it was so much fun.. Got my mom her favourite chocolate as she did not want any gifts .. In the evening was the much delayed dance program as our choreographer got stuck in the traffic jam due to rain and he had all the songs for the program.. Neverthless it was so much fun even if it started a little late.. I was really worried if the program would be held as it was raining heavily.. But, thank god it stopped pouring by noon..

The best part of the day was when an old lady in my flat came and appreciated my performance. Thou' there were many others who appreciated , I felt really honored when an aunty whom i know brought this grandma to me and said she wanted to appreciate you for your performance and meet you.. I was just so happy and I jus' realised that when we put our heart and soul into the thing we do , the outcome is always good and never goes un recognised..

5th of November was a day for shopping gifts and sweets for friends and relatives.. My mum and grandmom did all the shopping as I mom made me stay at home and study for the coming exams :(

6th and 7th of November was spent distributing sweets to people in my flats after returning from college..

8th of November ...WOW... Was Diwali... and ...... there was another surprise waiting for me .. my aunt gave birth to a baby boy (Diwali release .. :D) .. I was so excited and so wanted to go see the baby.. But they were in my native place and we had also invited people over for diwali so we had to post pone the plan of making a trip to my native.. In the noon we had a family friend over at our place and went out for lunch.. In the evening there were few others who dropped in to convey wishes and at the end of the day we started with bursting crackers and so much fun it was... I initially thought I wouldn't be much interested in bursting them as I ve grown up and no more a kid and all that but I still like bursting them and get excited sometimes too :D

The superhit cracker with the people in my flats this time was the 100 shots.. You light it once and there are 100 rockets which start decorating the sky one by one ... It was an evening of colors and lights..

10th of november we hit the road.. Started to my native place to see the baby boy ( my cousin brother) I have never seen a baby of 2/3 days old , so was all excited in holding him and looking at his pink tender fingers... They haven't named him yet , so we were also discussing about the different names we could name him .

Hope you all had a lovely diwali too .. :)

P.S: Sorry for not posting Monday morning Inspiration for this week had some prob with my internet connection . You can surely look forward for it the next week

Monday 12 November 2007

Monday morning Inspiration # 9

Lessons from the road - I

It's not when;its by when : Some will drive faster than us. Some will drive better vehicles than ours. There may also be somw champion drivers. Assuming all of us are driving from Point-A to Point-B , some will make it sooner than us ans some will make it later than us, but all of us will reach point - B. It's just that some of us will need little more effort and little more time.

Unspoken message: With reference to all our goals in life, the question is never'Will we reach it', but only 'By when will we reach it'. What others may do in 3 years may take some of us 5 years. so what - we will make it all the same. all that is needed is consistent directed self-motivated effort
