On the 17th of October 2005 my life changed. A blood report on that rainy bangalore day reveals to me what I feared. It said I may have Acute Leukemia. Two days later it was confirmed. A week later I was at Vellore. There is too much tell in between or on the other hand very little. So I'm skipping everything that happened during that interval. Like those last immortal words by Alex in "A Clockwork..." I was cured alright... (I Guess!)
Friday...nothing much actually. Think I crashed earlier than usual. i'm getting anorexic. Even if i'm not i guess i'd like to use the word. Saturday...Watched iruvar for the 3rd time. I still had no appetite (except for apples/oranges and tender coconut water). Maybe i've got bird flu. i'm falling for fruits. god! no cash. atm. Q fucking Q, foodworld,apples,oranges,limca,swipe card.home. My roomie made uppuma and we happily watched the intellectually stimulating "dawn of the dead" like any normal late 20's bachelors would! slept at 2am. Sunday...got up late. went out with sen in his new car to pick up his gf and went to his exgf's place. twisty eh? u bet. dropped us home. i dozed of till about 7pm. got up paid our rent. dinner. iruvar 4th time. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
ok. i'm back. no big shit...i know. sen's got the car down. brand new ford ikon black. i'm not feeling too well. i don't know the reason. i don't feel hungry and all that. damn this city. i wanna go back to chennai. "She's employed where the sun don't set And she's the shape of a cigarette And she's the shake of a tambourine And she's the colour of a magazine She's in fashion 00h 00h 00h........!" ok. diwali is 'round the corner. so is sivakasi!!!

Apocalypse Now (1979)
Starring: Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
A masterful, thought-provoking, pretentious film, with beautifully-chaotic visuals, about the nightmarish, moral madness of the Vietnam War, inspired by the novella Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Considered by many to be the best war movie of all time, with incredible performances, especially that of hawkish Lt. Colonel Kilgore (Duvall) who "loves the smell of napalm in the morning." Sweeping, surreal, still-controversial Vietnam war epic. An Army captain (Sheen) is sent into the Cambodian jungle aboard a patrol boat carrying a young, spaced-out crew. Their mission: to assassinate ("terminate") a Buddha-like Colonel Kurtz (Brando) who has become an insane demi-god and now runs his own fiefdom. The grueling production in the Philippines led to vast budget overruns and physical and emotional breakdowns. Academy A...
A NEW BEGINNING
Arjun stood on top of the dais and he could feel the sweat breaking on top of his forehead making its way to his eyebrows. This is the 326th time it’s happening. He can't use his handkerchief, it looked as though it fell into a bucket of water. He had asked for fans to be kept on his either side and an old bum intervened 'Oh no, It’ll put off the fire in the alter!’ Fuck him.
Arjun turned to his left only to see Sudha going through the same treatment. Only she was dressed up in silk and gold everywhere neck, hands, fingers, toes, nose, ears. He made an effort to look at her again if he had missed any other place of her body wondering at the same time if she has rings on her navel. Dirty me, he thought. Well not exactly I stopped at the navel, didn't I? He justified. She was pretty with sweat all over and vermilion and sandal and what not on her forehead she still looked pretty. And then it happened without warning. Someone started it by saying '...
