Amazon reader – The Kindle

I read about this thing in the article below. I was really intrigued by the whole thing. I love reading books and this would definitely be a welcome addition if it is actually as good as advertised. And I dont have to move all my books everytime I move houses.

I am humbled

Wow, when my friends told me I was a hardcore runner, I believed it. Some said I was crazy. I take back everything. The girl Claire Markwardt just showed me the flaw in my thinking. Holy cow. If you are the squeamish type, you should not watch the video.
If I get a vote for Sportsperson [...]

Azhagiya Tamizh Magan – review

AAAAHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Shriya looked good.
 AAAAHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That about summarizes the movie. Acting sucked, someone with a warped sense of humor wrote the story, direction sucked, songs were not that great (maybe it will grow on me in typical Rahman style)  and … (you get the idea). If you want to see this movie and you are a guy, you should [...]

Missing my runs

I am starting to miss my runs. It has been more than a week since I ran and I dont see myself running for another 3 weeks. It will be the longest I have gone without running in a 2 years. 
There are a couple of factors contributing to this. Chennai is not a city that is conducive [...]

Honking in Chennai

I have been going out for walks these days and the thing that I notice most is that drivers are really into honking. It was pretty bad when I was a kid – now it feels even worse. In my opinion, this is probably because of the insane incease in traffic but it could also [...]

Weight loss – bad?

I know most of you are wondering why I asked this  question. Well, if you have read any of my older posts, you know that I like to run a lot. This is actually a recent development (if 2 years can be considered recent). I started running in June or July of 2005. First it was [...]

Transformers

I should be honest and state that I am obsessed with this movie. I am trying to figure out why and have failed completely.
Let me do what Ross did in that Friends episode and try to list out the good and the bad in the movie.
Bad: Well for starters it sucks.  Does not build up the bad guy [...]

Super size me

Have you seen this movie? I think this dude who directed the movie had the wrong idea. Instead of going to McDonalds, I have a suggestion – he should try Indian weddings. All he needs to do is go to the weddings and eat for 5 days. Everytime they ask him if he needs more, [...]

I hate flying

I finally realized why I am bugged for a few days before leaving to India – I just hate flying. I love coming to India, meeting people etc. But I hate the fact that I have to sit in the plane for 16 – 18 hours and hang out at the airports for another 6 [...]

Halloween – Madison style

Last weekend I went to my first Halloween in State street in a couple of years. The last time I went there, there were riots a couple of minutes after I left – I was lucky. So it was with great trepidation that I decided to go for it this year. It would also probably [...]
