Actor of the Year 2004
[Surya as Michael Vasant]This year wasn’t a year of performances. We didn’t have an array of classic acts that were tough to choose from. With the little lot that kollywood saw this year it wasn’t like a photo-finish.
This year’s little group of acts included Kamal as the naive Virumandi, Surya as Perzhagan ‘hunch back’ Chinna, Surya as the intellectual Michael Vasanth and Parthiban as a Schizophrenic in Kudaikkul Mazhai.

Friday Guessing
If you think playing Chris Mom/ Chris Child is childish. No way. We played it on a 50 member team and it proved to be lots of fun and the best of team building exercises. Rocks. 2004 Year-End Google Zeitgeist , the time-spirit of globe, has been released. Guess what – Britney, Christina Aguilera and Pamela ‘Bay Watch’ Anderson are topping the popular searches. There is just two male dudes in the top 10 popular seaches. Orlando ‘Troy’ Bloom and Harry Potter. Eminem did made it to the top 2 of Popular Men 2004. One a personal note I am excited that Kurt Cobain and Bob Marley are still in the Top 10 Male Celebrities. Ironically, on a year when music companies came together against music piracy, mp3 is one of the top 10 popular searches. GMAIL is close to be released public in Jan 2005, I guess. Starting yesterday, GMAIL is giving out 10 more invitations to the subscribers. I know no one needs them anymore. Just in case, leave a comment. -
That very moment
I have blogged about accidents and traffic in Chennai before, this is one more of that category.
Couple of days back, in a suburb of Chennai, while me and my friend were driving back on a two-wheeler, there was crowd in the middle of the road. A man’s body lying there. We searched for the head. No head.
Next day in my office this was the talk-of-the-day. Looks like he was run over by a watertank lorry. We know that watertank lorries are the mobile God-Of-Dead in Chennai. But this one was truly heart crunching. Imagine that doomed man’s thoughts just when he was alive under the wheels of that lorry. One moment and all his hopes, dreams, family and career boomed out.
No Preaching. A suggestion, Drive Slow.

The Heaven’s Door
Knock, Knock, Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door. Not the Bob Dylan stuff but today is Vaikunda Ekaathisi. Looks like Master Martin Scorsese and Di Caprio combo is going to work again. The Aviator rocks this year’s Golden Globe nominations. Releasing for Christmas in the US and no sign of the movie release in Chennai. It’s a joke that you can’t watch three continuous songs in Ktv. One of them will be a bad one. Suprisingly it wasn’t today. Starting with Sivakumar and Nathiya singing Kanna Unnai Thedukiren in the Kodaikaanal cold, it went on Kamal Sridevi singing Perai Sollavaa from Guru. Finally it was Rajini and Deepa with a voice-over of Senorita !! I love you from Johnny. All three were SPB goodies, picturised at hillstations and also my fave ones. The joke was broken.
