    Kyun…Ho Gaya Na – A brood over Aishwarya Rai


    [ pic : kyunhogayana.com ]

    So it happened / happens / will happen. The emails containing Aishwarya Rai‘s pictures will be coming as long as emails become obsolete. It happened somewhere in the fag end of the last millennium that people started getting email forwards of Aishwarya Rai. You, me and everyone where in the list of CC. Several avatars of Ash [Aishwarya]are being circulated including the young ash, teenage ash, school uniform ash, model ash, miss universe ash, iruvar ash, animated ash and of course vivek oberoi ash. No one knows the origin of these emails. Even if you are one of Ash haters, you will be forced to receive an email a day of Aishwarya smiling.

    She was one of the first celebrities in India who was most emailed, written, drooled over on the internet. She definitely has an aura. But sometimes it’s been overdone. Like how Shankar’s Jeans really helped in proving Aishwarya is still learning the term called acting. She hardly acted but the movie was a hit, and she was spotted as one the reasons. She is quite lucky. Yeah, while we have actors/actresses in tons who can really justify acting and who are equally beautiful, she can just walk away with the cake and also eat it. Whether the movie is a hit or not, bother not, she surely has a director/ producer/ script writer waiting outside her house to book her for their next film(s). But that’s the hard truth.

    She and Vivek Oberoi were there on today’s MTV for promoting their new film Kyun…Ho Gaya Na. As usual MTV Cyrus did try to pull out the reason for their nice on-screen chemistry. They blushed at the same time. Enough, we have an answer here. The promos were slick and the film promises to be a lot of fun. Thats pretty clear from the promos. Especially the Pyaar Mein Sau Uljhanein song where Vivek Oberoi dances frenziedly in that Chumma De De type bar, Aishwarya and her siblings dance comfortably well in their kitchen. This song is well written with the lyrics that talks about the pains and goodies of love. Forget the first few paras here. Aishwarya is beautiful and I’m already planning the first weekend watch for it.

    This Thing That Thing, a rotating fan and three dudes

    On a mazhai ‘like’ kaalam in chennai, a saturday evening, the crowded, polluted and ofcourse lazy chennai was getting on with it’s business when we met. We includes Mdeii Anand, Ravages and myself. With blue skies above us and just the horizon streched across us in the romantic thiruvanmiyur beach, we met. For nothing. Ok Ok, I’m not hyping it anymore. It was really awesome. It was too small to be called a blog meet, ’cause as you know, Chennai Blog Meets are as crowded as chennai restaurants.

    From Cinema to padams, bit padams, short padams and NEW padams, everything about cinema was commented upon. Serious bloggers to burnouts, to bloggers who blog for the fad saying I Blog Too, Do You ? came between our conversations. Some really interesting views that were shooted includes Apporva Saghodarargal, Naam Iruvar, Iruvar, Monty Python, The raging bull, The Last Temptation of Christ etcetra. This Thing That Thing, This Thing That Thing music composing technique also came inbetween and split us(me especially) by laughs. Thanks to the funny blog magister who started this funda of T.T.T.T. Some more on this sometime.

    How many tamil movies have you watched that shows a fan actually rotating, meaning functioning ?. Seriously. Mail all three of us or just me with your answer. We are planning a movie with a fan switched on. An artistic film. Oru Fan Finally Suthuthu. Enna Anand and CC, Am I right ?

    Blogs are going to change the world.

    Blogs are going to change the world. Example:

    OLD, TIRED MEDIA: “The Associated Press reported that Saddam Hussein was captured yesterday by American forces.”

    NEW, EXCITING MEDIA: “omg like kos reported that he saw on chris’s blog that john trackbacked to mike’s journal where he read about bob’s girlfriend’s brother’s cousin who was like watching Fox News (fair and balanced my ass! lol) and they said something about saddam i dunno current music: brittney cleary – im me current mood: corpulent”

    Notice the synergy of information and the ease by which information propagates throughout the blogosphere.

    The above para was from slashdot but was taken from an article here which talk about the fourth estate ragging the new found bloggies during the democratic convention in Boston.

    Read more about Blogging ‘cruelty’ allegations. The world goes on. So does blogging.

    Munnabhai becomes a lawyer – Munnabhai LLB

    Raj Kumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra in their interview to The Hindu today, opens up about the success of their cult classic, Munnabhai MBBS. Also there is a script getting by done by Raj Kumar himself called Munnabhai LLB which is a sequel to the original Bhai. LLB meaning Bachelor of Laws.

    Having said that, they are very confident that Munnabhai MBBS remakes in Tamil and Telugu starred by Kamalhassan and Chiranjeevi respectively will also become hits themselves.

    The same column on Munnabhai also talks about the review done on the movie by the British Medical Journal, which shocked the purists. The review calls the film ‘a riot’ and notes that Sanjay Dutt won a Filmfare award, the Indian equivalent of the Oscars, for his performance. It is peer recognition from the MEDICAL journal on a movie made on a wannabe-doctor-turned-don. Are the protestors of Vasool Raja MBBS here in tamilnadu listening ?

    A tale of two Flip-flops

    Guest Blog #27 – Anand C

    flipflop.jpg
    OK, we’ve all heard this one. John Kerry is a flip-flopper…

    Hardly!

    Here’s the “glass is half-full” view – This is not the first war he has flip-flopped on. He fought the Vietnam war and then fought against it (by testifying in front of the Senate). As independents say, he passed with flying colors the two biggest character tests for any American in his generation!

    The “glass is half-empty” view – Whatever the war is, he has reserved the right to change his opinion based on the facts. He’s consistent about that. That’s better than what has now become a joke on late night TV – unchanged stands on WMDs, “Mission Accomplished”, and the connection between Sept 11 and Saddam.

    Either way, the Republicans are left with a “There is no gold in the wall!” argument (a la the old joke), one that could be toppled in terms of “Aha!” value only by their ability to convince Americans with it!
