Mechanical Life

I didn’t watch Bigboss Tamil when it had started. I don’t exactly remember the reason why I went back to it but it was the week of #Harathi got evicted. From the time I got on to it I was hooked onto it. Kamal Haasan is a legend. A master of many arts as I had read somewhere. He is widely known to be an intellectual whose appetite for knowledge is insatiable. If that were so there is little doubt that the amount of research the man would have put into understanding the concept behind bigg boss (or the original franchise with its orwellian name - big brother). I don’t know Oviya and the kind of person she really is but from what I have seen, I liked her because, she showed us people that even though she was made of many things good and bad, just like all of us, she controlled the bad as much as she could. I felt that at the very end, more than anything else, she was scared that the devil might slip out. I think she did what many of us wished we did in our daily lives. As Oviya ...

I was riding my motorcycle this morning towards office. I noticed green signal and was rushing to cross as I saw a Maruti 800 in front slowly crossing from my right to left while I was going straight. And somehow the slow movement of this maruti made me think that the person beind the wheel must be an old man. That thought enraged me and made feel "Oh damn these old men". There was a bigger vehicle behind me honking and putting that "pressure" which made me even more mad at the driver and as I went past the car I noticed that I was right. It was an old man who was oblivious to the whole thing. He gave me that "Wtf do these men still drive and take our lives out??!!" feeling. "Otha uyir edukarudhukinne varaanunga!!!" All this happened in a fraction of a second. Now the important thing is I was not speeding and I could've controlled my bike which I did. But right after the thought I felt very bad. I drew parallels on how we buckle under pressur...

Hmmm... I'm back to blogging after a big break and not very thrilled. Its bad times...We're rolling in a lot of shit. Mumbai shoot-out, Assam blow jobs! One thing that has clearly come out of all this terror is hatred. The hate levels on people across India have reached new levels. And people are close to starting a war. The amount of hate Islam or Pakistan is enormous. And these are not from some angry teenagers (which is just appalling especially if you have read the comments in YouTube) When I’m saying all this I myself got pretty pissed off and wrote this at another blog . Now I kind of realize that the 10 terrorists have achieved their biggest objective… Hate.

Why is "Sanjay Dutt" spending another night in the jail such a big news!!! Almost every news channel dedicates 15 minutes airtime on this. Am I missing something here?

Boeing and China Airlines Amazing that a Plane catches fire and the shares of both the plane manufacturer and the airline shares actually rose. Can you believe it? Is it because the plane didn't blow-up in the middle of a flight or they were able to save all passengers. I was thinking that the shares for both these guys should have sunk. The other amazing thing i noticed was Airbus S.A.S is a privately held company. That's some news...being european and they still manage to give Boeing a run...i like the French!
