Had a delightful lunch at the India House, a new Indian restaurant in Wheeling. This restaurant is a new branch of the India House, Schaumburg. While trying hook me on the code that I am writing, I am falling sleepy on my keyboard. That Aaloo sabji was at it’s best with some idlis and sambar, good enough to make me half awake ( optimistic view).
Now,
Tons of job at stake
Until I am awake.
Poetry Lazy….Poetry. Sleep.

Stories. Everyone likes stories. You, Me and anyone like stories. It is good to hear stories. How is to tell stories. Have you ever thought about the brainwave behind the story. The process of fun, happiness and sheer imagination that it takes to build a story. The debacles that a writer undergoes before he is done with a story.
There are stories everywhere. Many are around us in one form or other. What it takes is meticulous observation of events and consolidation of them to get to the crux of a story. From Archie comics to Kumudam weekly, from Humlog to Junoon, from Chithi to Anni, from Poornam Vishwanathan plays to Crazy Mohan dramas, from Bheemsingh’s Black and Whites to Kamal’s Sandiyar, there are stories everywhere. As tamil cinema world is wading through the sea of no-story-movies, a group of people…..

Hey, I’m making it dramatic and silly. That is what story telling is all about. Be Right Back.

We were out to the Door County which is up North Wisconsin to enjoy the fall colors. The Door county is a strip of land extending inside Lake Michigan. At the tip of door county is an island called Washington Port and we had to take the car in the ferry to move around in the island. With thousands of maple trees with colors like bright yellow, hot red, red-green mix and the rest of 65 million colors, I was colorblind at the end of the trip. I desperately wanted to see some black and white colors to nullify the color effect.
What was interesting was the 4 hour drive from our place in Chicago. Covered with the early morning fog, the roads appeared as though they ended just 2 feet before the car. It was a cool drive through the fog but the music saved us from getting scared. All the 14 hours of the trip, the music was just like yet another friend inside the car. While we were deep in the woods all I did was to play Pachai Niramey… and we felt like that bubbly madhavan leaping to the sky with dry yellow all around him. We had this small game of popular demand and played songs according to the request. The most requested and the most played song was Ithunundu Muthathila Ishtam from Dhool. Vidyasagar is reaching his pinnacle, that means.
Weekend Tidbits
– Cubs are really on winning streak and they have this last game to make it to the world series and meet Red Sox there. Will they ?
– AR Rahman is missing this diwali. With Bharathiraja’s Kankalaal Kaithu Sei and Nee 20 Naan 18 getting delayed, A R Rahman will be back with Mani Saar’s Aayutha Ezhuthu during Pongal.
– Shankar’s assistant is directing Arjun’s diwali flick called Ottran (SPY). No expectations for this on air and I sense this one taking lead over other movies. But given Arjun’s recent reputational downfall, gifted by the media, I could be wrong too.
P.S: Elango smelled something cookin’ in my blog. He got it right but just a post before.
Thanks to Kumaraguru for with his fast suggestion, I was able to replace the scribbled board with myshoutbox. If you are suffering from the loss of zonkboard try this one. much more feature oriented.
Looks like it faster than the pay-only zonkboard. Lets load it with comments and then comment on the speed.
