Executive Summary

One: My Recent Visit to Haridwar, Mussorie and Dehradun
Two: The Curious case of Benjamin Button
Three: Next movies to watch
Four: Recent status message that got into my eyes in gtalk...

I recently realised that there are places and people we may like but not yet visited..... after our trip to Haridwar, Mussorie and Dehradun....



It was a weekend trip from Gurgaon with my office colleagues for another team member's wedding reception a.k.a cocktail party ... My first attraction was the Ganges @ Haridwar... I just wanted to dip myself by watching its speedy flow.... I took not more than a minute to finish my three dips... it was so chill.. even little paining... But the freshness it gave me lasting till now.... Somewhere i read that Haridwar is a place where the 'Elixir' spilled while it get transported... it seems there are other 3 places also....

And the next attraction at Mussorie... Its a Tibetean Restaurant called Kalsang... The food is so good... esp momos.... veg and chicken..... veg by me and chicken by others....We (5 of us) had a 5-6 course dinner and paid only 1300 odd INR for that.... Mussorie is a place still not commercialized much.. the cost is comparatively very less compared to other hill stations.. Ooty should be atleast 5 times costlier than Mussorie... Even stay is cheaper in decent places.... 5 of us paid Rs.2500 for one day in a Guest house suite with 2 rooms .... with proper heating facilities and rest rooms..... As a complimentary service,,,, 2 hours of Camp Fire exclusive for 5 of us....

The Mall street shoping, Kempty Falls, The cable car journey to the cliff and the lake are real fun. The disappoinment was "Sagar Ratna" restaurant... Advertisements for the restaurant was all over the hill.. but when we reached the restaurant, it was closed... probably some maintenance... I still remember the food which i had in 'Sagar Ratna' in Katra... But here we finally ended up with Uduppi Hotel, where there is no sign of Karnataka connection to the people and food...


In Dehradun, i saw another "Sagar Ratna'.... This Capital city of Uttarkant or Uttaranchal is very neat... and people look very fashion savvy.... We can see all the top brand apparel outlets throughout the city... Gals of Dehradun are very pretty.... The entire trip was fun... i understood that there are places and people we may like and yet to see.....

Two:

Benjamin Button is simply amazing as the one liner story giving an different experience to everyone.... In this story Benjamin (Tom Cruise) born with the features of a old man and his mother dies immediately... So his fathe the Button Sr. (Making buttons is their family business), a rich man abondon his baby (old) boy in fron of a Old Age Home.. Queenie, the Care taker of the home bringing up this child.... This boy getting younger and younger when he grow...This child going through the life in reverse chronological order.. He is falling in love with the gal he meet in the Old Age home exactly in the middle of lifetime.. After they have a baby, Pitt realise that he gonna be young and Some of the scenes they used graphics to make up Pitt to look old and dwarf.... but there is no trace of it... He did so well..... My nominee for the Oscars is this movie and obviously the Best Actor will go to Pitt... Watch out this movie when hit the theatres....

Love is not finding someone to live with; it's finding someone you can't live without

ஆடி மாத அடாவடிகள்

மன்மத வருடத்தில் நாளை கடைசி ஆடி வெள்ளி.  ஒரு பக்கம் எல்லா கடைகளும் ஆடி தள்ளுபடின்னு விலைய ஏத்தி அத பெரிசா 50%, 70% கழிவுன்னு சொல்லி விளம்பரம் கொடுக்க, இன்னொரு பக்கம் இந்த பக்த கேடிகள், சாரி பக்த கொடிகள் தெருவுக்கு தெரு பண்ணும் அட்டகாசங்கள் தாங்க முடியல. ஆடி மாசம் வெள்ளி கிழமைல வண்டி எடுக்கறதுக்கு பயமா இருக்கு. நல்லா  போட்ட ரோட்ட குழி தோண்டி, பந்தல் போட்டு, நடு வீதியில ட்ராபிக்க மறிச்சு, கூழ் ஊத்தி, புஷ்பவனம் குப்பு சாமிய கூட்டி வந்து கச்சேரி நடத்தி, பெரிய பெரிய சாமி உருவ சீரியல் செட் போட்டு, ஒரு கிலோ மீட்டருக்கு ட்யுப் லைட் போட்டு ஒரு வழி பண்ணி, எல்லா அம்மன் கோயில் இருக்கும் ஏரியாவையும் ஒன் வேயா மாத்தி, லௌட் ஸ்பீக்கற அலற விட்டு  மக்களை நாத்திகர்களாக மாற்றி கொண்டு இருக்குறாங்க. இவங்க பண்ற செலவுல இருக்குற கோயில விட பெரிய கோயிலே கட்டலாம். கோயிலே பத்துக்கு பத்து அளவுதான். அதுக்கு பந்தல் அது மாதிரி பத்து மடங்கு.  இது இப்படியே போனா விவேக் சொல்ற மாதிரி பத்து பெரியார் உருவானாலும் ஆச்சரிய பட முடியாது. இவங்க மக்கள் கிட்ட வசூல் பண்ற காச வச்...
