Last night I watched Black Hawk Down, the oscar nominated movie. This was a true story about a ground battle involving the american army soldiers. In 1993, the american army wanted to abduct 2 lieutinants of the somalian warlord Farah Aidid and they intruded into a small village called Mogadishu. The US army’s intial plans gets interuppted when two of the black hawk helicopters are shot down. The time moves on and it takes more than 15 hours to complete the operation.

The movie is potrayed with an eye for detail. The war photography is too good that we feel like witnessing the war in the streets of Mogadishu. The camera and the sets make the movie seem true. This has a very less storyline than other war movies.It is war commentary and there is no analysis on the war or its after effects which makes it as a movie of rare genre. Ridley Scott dispassionate approach towarads the movie makes it an interesting see. His approach has a classy touch. He shows war as war rather than taking a emotional dimension which leaves it for the viewer to decide his idea on war.

A pretty ok movie for a dull night!!!

Codelust’s link on god blogging made me think a lot. good one .

Ian McEwan amazes me with his absorbing insight into people’s minds. My boss recommends me to read McEwan’s best book The child in time.Thats my next catch.

Sujatha – one of the best writers in contemporary tamil literature is signed up for a movie with K.Balachander to write the dialogues. He was paid close to 10 lakhs for film. This is a promising news for writers in tamil film scenario. His latest films Mudhalvan and Kannathil Muthamittal earned him this fame. As a matter of fact, Roja was his story which was earlier published as a novel named as ’14 days’ in tamil. I need pages to write about sujatha’s writing style. If you need to get an hang on his writing, just ready his book called guruprasadin kadaisi thinam ( the last day of guru prasad).

Crazy Again:

I do aspire to become kushwant singh or shobha de . But this isn’t acceptable. I was reading the whole lot of my blog today and i just got bugged up. I seem to have transcended into the world of a columnist because offlate I am writing some kind of an analytical blog on silly things.I finally found a reason for that. Just realised I have been doing a bit of advertising of my blog these days in all the yahoo groups that i belong to. So probably I am also going thru a bit of famous-o-mania these days and therefore I have been writing impressive articles for others.They aren’t that impressive for me when i read it now. On second thoughts, may be I am right. Is it wrong in getting caught in the famous-o-mania if u get the purpose right. So guys, for you kind info, my instinct tells me i wouldn’t change even after all these inner shouts to myself. Some of you who read this blognote first might not u’stand the note. Go ahead and read more, probably you will (hey lazy, thats advertising again).

But I am lucky this weekend. Just got my hand over an interesting book called Enduring Love by Ian McEwan. Amazing start!! just like a nail bitting finish. Oops!! this guy is really great.

It is 9:15 now and I wanna go back home now to see sachin back in action after a duck in the previous innings. I have no clue of what the score is but i can have a blind bet that he is gonna smash the windies this time. Hope he does. Yeh Dil Maange More!!

She’s Back ( From Tihar)

Hey, Arundhati is back . If you are blinking now, you probably have not read her God Of Small Things or you didn’t frequent the news some 3 months back. She is Arundhati Roy. The booker prize winner for her debut novel. You would certainly appreciate her if you read that book for its vivid descriptions and the style of her writing.

Then, she was an avid supporter of NBA ( Narmada Bajao Aandolan not National Basketball Association ) and a die-hard fan for the purpose of saving thousands of people getting washed out if that narmada dam was built. An essay on anti-dam on narmada called The Greater Common Good was fabulous.

After allowing herself to stay in the thiar prison for one day, in the contempt of court case, she is now back on questioning the happenings in Gujarat.The article called Democracy :Who’s she when she’s at home? in Outlook magazine. Read it !! Feel It !! You’ll agree with me that she is true.
