I was looking for some answers online. I got answers to most of my questions but then there are few that I am unable to find on google... Over the years, I've got so used .. rather all of us have got so used to googling, that if it is not in Google, it probably is not there is the conclusion for most searches.. I recall a dialogue in Dum Maro Dum where a police officer is asking a question to a 'just-found' informer from the city gangster group. The informer shivers obviously terrified.. The officer says, " Say if you know this person or not.. For everything else there's google ". This dialogue is the best in the movie and seems so right too especially when you are looking for some information online. Just a while ago, after thirty minutes of hard search and research, when I did find partial answer to my query, I logged on to gmail and sincerely wished God had an email address that I can write to for some of my doubts for which Google cannot give me a solution...

This movie is about drug mafia and its impact on the younger generation and the society at large. Everyone, just about everyone in the movie has a hand in the drug mafia voluntarily or involuntarily. The ACP Vishnu Kamat is posted in this particular place to eradicate the evil of drug mafia. This officer had once bent a lot of rules and regulations for the drugsters until one fine day, a car accident in which his wife and child reaches God's abode changes his life for good. The cause of the accident was a head-on-collision with a vehicle driven by a drug addict. Vishnu Kamat changed for good. Now, the way Vishnu Kamat deals with chasing the several million worth drug storage and its owners is one angle of the movie. The way the drug whirls every youngster into it is another angle. The fact that nobody is able to resist the money benefits that the drug business in that town and abroad brought is another angle. The pivot of the movie is the brains behind the story line. The direction...

Too many controversial statements, Too many cover stories, Too many opinions on that one great soul, Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Never meant to write about this, but then could not resist, when I read a post just now on one of the popular websites. The post was well written and says a statement that is way beyond argument.. Death happens to everyone and it seems like it all ends in 'Nothing'. Agreed. It further goes to say that it is just because of this truth that makes man weak, that man seeks solace in divinity, sages, gurus, and spirituality. May be like a load of others this person is expressing his views... Everyone seems to have an opinion on the belief in this great soul - some inviting, some troublesome, some biased, and some baseless. Over the years a lot has been said and a lot has been probably left unsaid... Have you touched a zillion lives? Have you been able to help as many people? Have you sustained so many controversial cover stories? Have you worn the same colored cl...

Yes, that is a term used in Type-writing. I never went to an institute to learn typing and so never really knew which fingers to use for which keys in my keyboard. All I knew is I learnt to type through my endless ranting about sense and nonsense on my chat windows, email compose pages and blog space and ofcourse my job as a Technical Writer. [ It surprises me that not a single interviewer asked me this question if I knew to type professionally ].I guess, everyone learns typing through practice and so that said, I do not know which fingers I habitually use for which keys on my key board... Until... Today... Why go as far as typing? I never realized the key role of one of my fingers other than wearing a ring, until this morning, I must say. I was busy dreaming about the yummy breakfast I am about to make ( yes, dream about the end product as you start preparing the dish, it will come out very well..) This is not a conscious decision I made, but then I was so hungry and was telling mysel...

Yes.. I did feel devastated hearing one particular song. Since it is against the policy of my blog to quote the programme or the movie ( I dont care to know which movie though) I am not saying which programe it is. Yesterday afternoon, I switched on the TV and chanced to see a wonderful stage show where a lot of cine singers sang their best. There were also some dance programmes in between. It was supposedly some major launch and a lot of famous people were present to make the event and the crowd blessed!!!! And the crowd was massive... As far as one could see, it was heads and heads unlimited. I was enjoying every bit of the song sequences and was in my own world of music. I love music for its tone sometimes, for its cheer some other times, for the words sometimes and for the background music other times. I am not a great singer but I do go on a singing spree at home sometimes. Some songs just drive me crazy because I love Tamil language for its beauty and the words that make total se...

Yes, I was caught up in the 'No time' syndrome for a while I guess. I never took the effort to come to my blog page until this morning when I picked up this book called Megaliving by Robin Sharma. I enjoy my morning cup of coffee usually with some TV programme. Today, because the book was lying in the sofa where I left it last night..[ Oh yes, am not too organized.. for me, its really okay for things to be lying around once in a while... usually the house gets in order only after 10:00 A.M. After that I never re-arrange or move things much. If me or my husband have not had the sense to put it back on shelf, so be it.. until the next morning!!!! Life is more than just cleaning is my present motto.], I picked it up to leaf through it. Some thought lines as I typed the email spreading word about the book to my friends: When we cannot spend time with ourselves and people, what are we trying to achieve? Are we trying to work for a tomorrow that is yet to come? Most often we are biss...

I usually have Google search page as my landing page as soon as I start my browser window . The reason was every time I needed some reference at work , it was easier to 'Google' it . Last month , we had given our computer for a re - formatting . When the computer came back from the center , the home page in our Internet Explorer browser was set to a news page . I didn 't bother much . I used my Google whenever I needed it , but since I am not working like before , I used the search page not so often . It must have been three weeks with that set up of news page . Every day I got to read some unpleasant , saddening news of some problem , mishap , accident , tricked incident , fraudulence , and resistance . I didn 't like it , but then took it as a fact of life . I used to quickly skip the page after the first story of mishap . This particular page had sixte...

I do not know any of the cast of the movie. All I know is that it is a 'Kalaipuli' Thanu movie. The only star I recognized was Kasthuri. I also recongnized some faces but dont know their names. Not much help? Yeah, still you can find the movie by the name. I only got a chance to see the second half of the movie. I sat for the movie only because of the name. Somehow sixteen sounded very different for a movie name. Its about two sixteen year old children in love. These two children were in the same school. The girl Ilavarasi's parents decide to get her married off to her maternal uncle. The girl frankly expresses her love for her class mate Gopi. Much to her objection and hate, the wedding plans progress. The girl takes the help of police to call off the wedding. Ilavarasi and Gopi decide to have a baby just to ensure that they get to marry at a later date. They don't think about the pros and cons of such a hasty move and go ahead with their plans. When the parents came t...

I have not had a chance to open this page at all over the last few days.. Suddenly, it seems like I am too occupied with many things to do, say and think, all at once.. Half a dozen sayings and quotes crossed my mind in the morning in one of the most enlightening session of "dish washing... ". Oh yes, Dish washing does teach you so many things.. 1. When you have a lot of writing to do, almost always there are too many soiled vessls in the kitchen sink. 2. When you have to patiently edit a document, you have to quickly throw away plates in the kitchen sink. 3. What does God think about dish washing? We can never figure out. 4. Why is soiling easy and cleaning tough? Read: Why is the 'good' always tough to be, do and say? 5. Whoever wrote the quote, 'work is worship', didnt think of the possibility dish-washing and writing together. 6. It is always possible to write quickly in face of a timeline or committment to the client. Similarly, it is possible to wash any...

Dear Readers, I have not really taken a good look at the visitor statistics for quite sometime now. Today, I chanced to take a good look at my blog page. The Dew vistors mark has crossed ten thousand.. This is a big achievement for me, personally and I would like to thank all of you readers, for your valuable time on my posts. I didnt think, I would see this number when I started writing. Since I do not have major advertising practices, I thought ten thousand is a far-off mark. It is nice to note that people read what you write. :-) Now that, I see the big number, I am glad and just writing to share my joy with you all. Keep reading and also continue to post your thoughts. They are big value additions for my posts - present and future. Have a good day, Thanks, Dew
