Wrestling, movies and Bob Dylan

Started the day by watching the highlights of today's Smackdown live. They are building the Nakamura - AJ feud quite well. I was really thrilled to see Samoa Joe on Smackdown Live. The guy's promo are legit gangsta. He says it with so much conviction you just believe it's true.

Ended up watching this movie called "I am Legend". It was a load of bullcrap. The movie deals with a plot where the human race has almost gone extinct due to a genetically modified virus to cure cancer. The story starts 3 years after the virus spreading, in NYC which has been abandoned. You see Will Smith driving a god damn car with a fancy jacket, hi-tech gun and a german shepherd. How the fuck did he get these? Who the fuck gets him petrol? He tries to hunt deer, chasing them using his car. The roads are better than what highways in India are and listen to this, the motherfucker gives the dog a fucking bathtub bath. Who gives you electricity? Who supplies water for this? Then this fake ass guy goes to eat eggs and asks his dog to eat vegetables? Are you fucking kidding me? In a post apocalyptic world, 3 years after the apocalypse, where NYC is totally abandoned and the dude is the only survivor? American pop culture hollywood piece of shit. Do not watch this, unless if you have shitloads of time like me.

Listened to a couple of Bob Dylan songs that I used to listen frequently. Some of them are All along the watch tower, Tambourine man, It's Alright ma and Like a rolling stone. "It's alright ma" is one of my favorites, if you look at the style of the song, it is very much like a rap song. Dylan was an amazing lyricist. His songs were soul stirring. Thinking of it, Eminem's lyrics are somewhat modern day Dylan-ish.

One thing lead to another and I ended up listening to "Lost Highway" by Hank Williams. Universe has a way of playing songs that are in sync with you at the moment, doesn't it.

My Tryst with God

Image
Does God exist? this question has been lurking me for a long time. Since i was  born and brought up in a religious brahmin family my tryst with God had begun ever since i stepped onto this world. First thing i was taught was to fold my hands and pray. Everyone has two religions. One they are born into, another that they follow after growing up. Sadly most of the hindu customs are pretty much outta this world and higly symbolic. I was neither religious nor an atheist , but somewhere between the two. 19 is probably not the age for thinking about this. I was thinking about my teenage when was a tween and now my salvation. Pinjiliye pazhuthadhu as one would call in Tamil. This was when i started to search why i am here? Is there any being called GOD? Again it brings to Venkey and Mankey Venkey: Finally i found it! Mankey : Found what? Your non-existent brain Venkey : No stupid, the truth behind God. Mankey: Hahahaha what truth? You found the ornament worn by Rama and lipstic

The Great Mad-ras University Results Saga

Image
Guys i am back with another installment of the Mad-ras university leelais. You may ask what is so great about MU results. Yeah it's great with the precision they keep up in announcing the results. They are so!! on time they always announce a date and deliver the results exactly a month after that date. Can it get any greater than this. I was disappointed with their punctuality last time the one month tripled i got the results weeks before my next semester. Formula for calculating result date: Result date =1000 * (R.D+ 31 days or one month which ever is less) /1ooo R.D = first rumoured date. ( BTW the mutiplied by 1000 and divide by 1000 is just a gimmick to make it more complicated) Talking about the results of the semester i wrote this May they have not delivered yet, obviously considering MU standards. The other day i had an argument with one of my professors about this. Not like i do this once in a blue moon, i do this often. My professor was talking about discontinuing one

A train Journey from Mambalam to Meenambakkam. Part 1

Image
Off late i have been reading a few travel blogs, this is my honest attempt at writing a travelogue. Since you all know my idea of vacation is very dumb  ;) . So this what i've got for you " A train Journey from Mambalam to Meenambakkam." to my college. Image courtesy :  http://www.irfca.org When i visited the Mambalam station on the first day of my college, little did i know about trains, i got into the wrong train only to get back down. First few days were really interesting, watching the sights whizz past me. I prefer standing on the foot board that faces the opposite side of the platform, feeling the wind on my face.  Vehicle Parking Stand aka Vettaiyadu Vilayaadu stand My journey starts at Mambalam station where I park at a place which resembles the place where the Psycopaths bury their kills in Vettaiyadu Vilayadu (tamil movie), near that that creepy banyan. On rainy days the place becomes a swamp. Now you know why I don't want it to rain when I am on my way home
