    Bubblegums for Heroes

    Going forward we will only have movies which are rehashes of Thiruvilayaadal or Thirunilaakandar and Veera Pandiya Kattaboman. No Mughal movies as they have scenes where the Sultans smoke Hooka. Why ?

    Smoking to be banned in movies, television serials. All our movie heroes will chew bubblegums from today, on-screen.

    Let them even ban making movies in India but in the name of censor or such explicit laws, I hope these wouldn’t happen to the growing media industry. Why wouldn’t they ban making movies in India ? Why won’t they ban cigarettes itself from entering the country rather than resorting to such bans ? Both these might not happen because both fetch money like nobody’s business.

    Let’s not fool ourselves that media reflects society or viceversa anymore.

    Evam’s Indrajit

    evam_indrajit.jpg

    After a successful production of Barefoot in the Park, Evam group returns to their roots. Evam‘s name was derived from a Badal Sircar’s play, Evam Indrajit. A Bengali play translated by Girish Karnad was considered to be a milestone of Modern Indian Theatre.

    Having seen their last play, I am sure that Evam can make this challenging play into an interesting venture. Although I miss being in Chennai, I’m hoping for a nice review of the play which is scheduled to be staged from the coming weekend for six shows.

    Here’s the schedule for Evam Indrajit –

    Date & Time – On 4th, 5th, 11th, 12th June 2005 – 07:15 pm. On 5th, 12th June 2005 – 02:00 pm. Venue – Sivagami Petachi Auditorium, near Alwarpet Lifestyle Showroom. Alternatively you can also call Evam Helpline @ 98402 22363 to block tickets.

    A Post Of Questions


    Do you know ? Google’s “70% engineers” consume, 2300 lbs of chicken, 1600 lbs of coffee, 500 lbs of pasta and 112 lbs of wheatgrass. Apart from this there are some worthy stuff that’s happening in Google, including the Google Earth intiative. Just in case, if you have tons of bandwidth to spare, check out the webcast of Google’s Factory Tour. Also flip through the presentation.

    Haven’t you unplugged the bad IPODs ? I just did after reading this scary Newsweek article, A Little Bit Louder, Please, that still resonates in my ear. If you are still busy listening to a loud shout of Aerosmith this what they say – One study estimates that as many as 5.2 million children in the United States between 6 and 19 have some hearing damage from amplified music and other sources. If they don’t take steps to protect their hearing, the iPod Generation faces the same fate as the Woodstock Generation. Or worse.

    How Jobs turned the iPod into an icon ?. This man, Steve Jobs never stops from being impressive.

    Sacred Cows, Their Horns talks about the protests gone wrong. Why and what went wrong with Jo Bole So Nihaal ?

    Why India is searching for Edisons in Dozens ?. A long read but truly makes sense to me.

    If jeans was the only

    If jeans was the only trouser type available, I would be happy as hell. Like most of us, I love the jean clinging onto the legs and make you feel much younger than you actually are. Especially the original dark blue denim color like the one Rahman wears in Vande Matharam is my favorite.

    It’s a great feeling to enter a new jean, straight from the store, with the labels still untouched. If only it’s fits you as though it was handwoven for you, like the Ray Ban on Kamal’s nose in Kurudhi Punal, WOW. Who wouldn’t love a perfect fit ?

    P.S – Honestly, I wrote this non-stop with a stream of conciousness and couldn’t avoid those filmy mentions. Heck !!
