Deja Vu May 17, 2006

Deja Vu: The illusion of having already experienced something actually being experienced for the first time.
We all believe, atleast most of us to do, that there is a superior power above us who controls the untangibles…but sometimes you catch a glimpse of what is ahead or what just happened in a far far away land…people who know me know that this is not something new for me….but others just think I am plain crazy :| …..this thing has got me thinking about the cycle of life….what if God is just too lazy to write a new script everytime and instead he is just recycling the scripts for all of us…like we have gone through exactly the samething over and over and over again…..the mind is a monkey so we just dont get it….and all these glimpses or feelings of deja vu are just spots of our memory that remembers things that have happened over and over and over again…there are a lot of loose ends to this arguement though…like for instance, how do we explain the advancement mankind has made…or how can we have lived the same way in stone age and now for the things to be repeated…one thing I can think of right away is, we probably are looking at a smaller time frame….maybe the timeline included in the script is far larger than we thought and only God knows how many times we have passed stoneage to nuclear…maybe he is just getting ready for the climax in the whole big movie of his….so like the famous dialogue in Matrix, "..choice is an illusion given to man…" and so maybe our life is all scripted…we all fight to make it happen and make a difference….when the difference has already been defined…I have to mention my close friend and I experience this all the time….but its kinda deja vu mixed with unbelievable coincidences….he also suggested that we stop talking to eachother cause its weirding us out lol….which I dont think is happening…afterall I have to mess with people's mind…you ask how I know? well I read my part in the script and I remember :)
War – for peace or to punish? May 16, 2006

Everything we do is for love and peace…so we claim…but can we ever deny the fact that some place within there is a selfish side of us that takes joy in punishing and inflicting pain….there is always a dark side in humans, some have it more prominent than the rest….I guess that depends on how you choose to live and how you choose to be remembered….and its always easier to be evil than to be a saint….the war(s) that are taking place all around the world these days…and mind you, I am not making/taking/have a political agenda for these statements, but all the wars and blood shed claim that its for an everlasting peace and goodwill…how far ahead is it..? Will we have peace only when all who live in the land have been wiped out or have been left crippled and so cant fight anymore..? I come from a family which has a couple of distant relatives who honestly believe Gandhi was a bad & a selfish man to have done what he did…I respect their opinion and doesnt mean I agree…it takes a lot of determination to do the right thing…if every individual who has a difference in opinion decides to fight, then we are in for a lotta fun….actually fun isnt what I would like to call it…Eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind said the wiseman…so how do we justify any kind of war in this age and time….Are the wars really for peace? or are they because of our jealousy or dislike or just plain hatred that needs to be satisfied by punishing others…so if you ask me, war is never for peace…its always to punish..

Un ninaivu nenjile…Manam oonjal aaduthey
Oru moochukaatru pol…Nee ennil kalanthathean
En vazhkai engayo…Dhisai maari povathean
Nan engu selkirean…endru theriyavillayae
Kangal parthidamalae…Nindru pesidamalae
Oru Kanavu polavae…Ni vanthu povathean
Innum enna solvathu…Varthai illai ennidam
manathil thondriathellam…Ingu kavithai aanathey

I had my doubts about the new chasis after all the debacle that we had to go through last year ….sob sob….but like the old saying goes, "You win or lose the season in Europe…" So I think we are doing pretty good….Now that we have won two in a row, I would like to see more 1-2 finishes for our good ol' Ferraris…alrite…fair enuf…I am not going to build castle in the air already but cant wait to get to Spain and do it again ! Go red !
IMF: Impossible Mission Force May 7, 2006

Like everyone, started off the summer movie list by going to MI:III…honestly did not regret it…I like my Mission Impossible movies to be funny and not so serious…apart from inbetween chukles this part was too nail biting for a MI movie….I guess this is what happens when MI tries to meet James Bond…the evening was made better when I got back home and had Duel playing on TV….for guys'n'gals out there who havent seen this…go to the video store and rent it out…you wont be disappointed…so overall the movie evening was fulfilled by watching an azzkickin movie and was topped off by a classic….so cant complain..last but not least Cruise had to copy Virumandi for a getup change muhuhahaha….ok ok…have fun at the movies !

Part of the cure, or are we the disease* May 5, 2006

I have been blank for a few days…started to write something…but wasnt sure if I could…but apparently I will sometime this weekend….but from nowhere listening to some of my favorites..I began to think…yes think…which people say I do too much..which I dont deny…but do all the right things have to take time and go to a critical point before something is done…I wonder…I dont claim myself to be a nature buff..there are more responsible people doing that…but the ones in power need to listen to what these people have to say…Personally I look at our planet and feel guilty with things what we do out here when we are supposed to savour for our future generations….I know its not practical for everyone to not start their cars in the morning…but dont we have to have a plan for anything to happen or change….there are countries which have taken the initiative in the direction…and I am really proud that India will have the most number of eco-friendly, self sufficient in energy companies in a few years….I walk home after work and I see people driving a Hummer, not H3, not H2 but H1…not with 10 people like its equipped to handle…heck not even two….but its about time we make a turn and I honestly think we are…the hybrid vehicle sales have gone up and people are actually realizing the fact that nature and its gifts arent like a bottomless coke in one of their Mc Ds…lets be the part of the cure…and not the disease…
