The Sicilian Mafia connections...

           "The Godfather" is one of my favorite movies of all time.I even own the novel of the same title from which the movie was made.I 've lost count of how many times I have watched the Don Corleone's introduction scene in particular so far,Where Amerigo Bonasera,the Undertaker meets the godfather at his office to avenge his daughter's sufferings.I am a big fan of Marlon Brando as Don Corleone in this movie.He is one of the greatest, I don't have to mention that,I think the world knows.Respect.
      
            Two days back I was watching this movie again(!!). I don't know why but I never get bored watching this movie..So during the course of the movie I learnt that I could actually imitate "The Godfather" both his voice and mannerism.It was an effortless attempt.See how influential movies are!! :p .Only the tuxedo and make up were missing and of course a wig!! It was fun imitating. ha!ha!!

One of a Kind

Here is a compilation video of Branch Warren training.Man this video is sick.But I'd highly recommend people with a weak heart to abstain from watching this video!!I am a big fan of Branch Warren.Though he has never won the Mr.Olympia title his presence alone is enough as it would electrify the stage.He has won several other titles.Rightly nick named as "the quadrasaurus" for his massive legs,he is really "one of a kind". After seeing this video how can someone not feel like hitting the gym and train insane???!!!! Everytime I listen to this song I am reminded of the great "quadrasaurus" and his hardcore workout..

This...is... INDIA...

My name is Indian,

• I am from India.I love my country.
• Cricket is my national game.
• Pizza is my national food.
• Jeans and t-shirt are my favorite dress.(I don't care how hot it is I wear only jeans)
• Night outing and boozing are part of my culture.
• Spitting anywhere and urinating in any place are my birth rights.
• Don't question me if I break the glasses of buses or even burn them,coz I've been told they are public properties.I'm just exercising control over what is rightfully mine.
• I hardly know the lyrics of the national anthem,but if you are gonna ask me about cine songs I'll give you the lyrics of any of them, any day,any time.
• Mosquitoes are my pets.
• I think politics is reserved for selfish and ineffective people.So that's not my cup of tea.But if you want me to comment,I will oblige very willingly.
• The US is my second home,And it's my duty to get a job and a green card there
• I care so much for the welfare of  animals,stray dogs for instance I don't kill them or adopt them.I'd rather leave them on the streets and let them maul kids and passerby's.I don't bother even if people die because of these stray dogs.
• I don't pay my taxes.But I curse the government for not providing proper roads,facilities,etc
• I've read discriminating people on basis of their castes is a sin.But I can't stop myself from discriminating.
• Complaining,forgetting,being biased are some traits that are in my genes.
• If i am into politics then my definition of democracy would be "fall the people,buy the people,off the people.."
• I get money from representatives of political parties and I swear to them that I'll only vote to them.And come what may, I keep up my word
• I believe cinema heroes can actually fight a 100 men at a time and dodge a bullet in real life and I seriously believe they are gods or blessed by gods.
• In order to recruit say a CEO for a company having 500 employees,I ask for experience,educational qualification.But to contest for the chief minister of a state or the prime minister of the nation I never think of any such requirements...
• I belong to an age where reel heroes get paid more than real heroes.I mean to say the soldiers who safeguard,fight and die for this great nation......

We Indians live in India.And therefore what we are is what the nation is...So,THIS IS INDIAAAAAAAAAAA.....

Ugh...!! Love story??

Boy meets girl,girl meets boy..both talk,exchange numbers,then talk in morning,talk through afternoon, meet in evening..Then talk all night long and the next day boy/girl proposes, the other party accepts.Both are madly in "love". It goes on for sometime then they are confronted by a villain boy fights the villain and then both boy and girl are re-united!    ~ The End ~ That's the blue print of any love story.I am talking about the stories written for movies only.

             Writing a love story is a task that doesn't need any help of your brain.To be even more precise the more stupid it is,the higher the possibilities of its popularity among people,take for instance the most dumbest "love story" ever written in the history of mankind "The Twilight".Love stories always have a lot of appeal among the audiences especially girls.!No further elaborations required I guess.So, since it's reach is obvious and encouraging more people stoop to writing love stories.Tamil movie makers are no exception.Is it that they have no other goods to deliver or are they not willing to try new things?I mean it's the same thing again and again and again.And its very boring.I can list at least 10 movies which have the same story line as that of "Romeo and Juliet" .If you are gonna ask these story writers about plagiarism they'll unanimously say they haven't even heard about "Romeo and Juliet".And their stories were their own creations!

As far as Tamil cinema is concerned,it's an unwritten rule that a new-comer(a guy) must opt for love stories.Once,after he is popular among people once his bloody face gets familiar with the spectators he can choose action roles,fight with out numbered enemies with both his hands tied!He can advice people on how to live a noble life, throughout the movie and thereby play a major role in the reformation of the society.But all that's next set of steps.But the first step is act only in love stories.

 Now its time to quote some famous stunts which the heroes in these love stories do to make their love interests fall at their feet..

1.Save a puppy by risking his life,from a lorry which is about to run over the poor thing

2.Save the heroine from a bunch of rogues who are about to hurt her

3.Pretend to forget that it's the heroine's birthday but he surprises her by giving a surprise party and taking her to exotic places

4.Throw away a cigarette,when the girl passes by..you know as a symbol of respect!!

5.The heroine would have wanted to buy some clothes or footwear but someone might have bought it.The hero gets it from the other person,to show how much he loves the girl!!Even if it takes standing toe to toe - "Action love story"

6.Advice the heroine about her dressing.Educating her about the culture and tradition of India.And overnight the girl falls in love!!!!!!!!

There are innumerable stunts and scenes...but I think this is sufficient for my post.That's all folks
       

25th of October & 5th of July

Today is the 25th of October.It's just another day.As far as I can remember it's not the birthday of any great leaders or it's not the day of any significant historical event.But there is something strange about this date!There is some sorta connection between 25th of October and July 5th!Both of the dates falls on the same day of any year.Let's take for example 2012,both the dates falls on Thursday!Okay,in 2011, they come on Tuesday!In the year 2010,Monday.!okay finally let me take the year 2007,it's Thursday!There is no disparity,not even for one year are these two dates falling on different days.Now,that's interesting ain't it?Well,my opinion is that it is interesting.

           I've always wondered is that a strange coincidence or something involving mathematics?!Either way it's still something interesting and strange.So I thought I'll make a note of it in my blog and I'm done..

Pain of guilt

                     I was sitting on my bed surrounded by fire on all sides of me.It crept onto every little thing in my house and it was burning my beloved possessions.Sitting there helpless,I watched the beauty of the fire,its splendidness,how it glowed so radiantly and so majestically! The fangs of wrath devouring on objects greedily and the more it got,it grew even more hungry and the more it wanted..I was sure,that the fire was going to burn every little thing in the room except for me.So I stood there like a child gazing at the passing clouds.The heat was making me sweat.The sound of the burning pages of the books got louder,while I stood there watching all this..

                                       I had everything in my house.Everything a man could want for.I had everything in my house even in spite of thieves stealing a lot of my belongings.My house was 65 years old.It was built by my great grandfathers.It was a symbol of their blood and sweat.I knew all about it but I was too busy with things that I forgot to maintain my house,the thoughts kept elongating while the fire was getting denser.I knew for sure I was the reason for the whole thing to fall apart.I never was satisfied with my house,I never really cared for my house.The servants in whose hands I left the responsibility of taking care of my house were corrupt and inefficient.They made me believe that they took good care of my forefathers' legacy.But deep down I knew they were lying and something kept telling me that things were getting worse with passage of time.Behind my back they were stealing my possessions though I knew about it, I didn't react because I never really cared.As days went by those faithless monkeys were stealing my things so outrageously,even before my eyes,but still I never cared.

                                       By now the fire was  all over my rooftops.I knew that this fire was because of them,this destruction was because of those people who I trusted.They started this fire of destruction by their careless acts may be they had forgot to put off equipments,may be there was a short circuit,may be the lighted candles slipped and fell on the curtains..whatever it was only they knew about it and I was paying the price for the carelessness of both them and mine.The feel of guilt run threw my body when I realized what I have done to my sweet home.Tears rolled down my cheeks...as I watched the fire burn the portrait of my grandfather...

There I was sitting in my house all alone,Watching it all burn down to ashes...

The Joker

This is one of my favorite scenes from the movie "The Dark Knight"....Joker is finally arrested and the police try to interrogate with him about the missing "DA" Harvey Dent .But he doesn't co-operate with them.So finally he's left to Batman...The following is the ensuing conversation between the two,the Joker gives an interesting explanation to his psychotic acts....

                             

Batman: Then why do you want to kill me?
The Joker: [giggling] I don't, I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, NO! No. You... you... complete me.
Batman: You're garbage who kills for money.
The Joker: Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.
 Batman: [grabs Joker] Where's Dent?
The Joker: You have all these rules and you think they'll save you!
Batman: I have one rule.
The Joker: Oh, then that's the rule you'll have to break to know the truth.
Batman: [getting impatient] Which is?
The Joker: The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.

Batman: [slams Joker into mirror] Where are they?
The Joker: Killing is making a choice.
Batman: [punches Joker] Where are they?
The Joker: Choose between one life or the other. Your friend, the district attorney, or his blushing bride-to-be...
[punches Joker]
The Joker: [laughs] You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with! Nothing to do with all your strength!
