Nice blog that talks about Chennai, as the name suggests. There was a post on John Galt that especially caught my attention.The post I read was about a book release function Ayn Rand at 100.

Guru and I went on Saturday afternoon. We expected the fair to be crowded, the day of our visit being a weekend, but it wasn’t.

It was like being back in college, where a lot of friends gather with the main intention of having fun. The important thing was though we were strangers, our group didn't look like one full of people who have never before met in their lives.I had not been blogging for sometime and didn't have a clue who were attending the meet.

The documentary had two films, one on the ancient Egypt and the other on all the Pharaohs. This doc was more academic in nature and so it was very informative. It was also drab becos of the same reason. Anyway, it has its own advantages.

It deals only with the religious aspect of the book and does not at all venture into the art or Da Vinci part. Well, that was a huge disappointment.

One was on Egypt (Mysteries of Egypt) and the other was on the book, Da Vinci Code (Unlocking Da Vinci Code; by the way, this doc is on National Geographic Channel on 17th of this month).

Of course there is one movie every night in every free channel but otherwise there are only talk shows, home improvement, garden shows, news and such. I’m finding watching TV refreshing.

Hmm, after a long time (almost after three months) I am blogging again.
The reason for my absence is Sriram. He entered this world on the 31st of March. Since then he has kept me busy. Really busy.

Now Satyam is showing these two movies this weekend as special shows. And I have the tickets... I just can't wait for tomorrow - actually, I want to see all parts together - but then that is too much to ask for. After seeing these two parts, I will wait for Part 3 to release in Chennai.

I have been reading blogs of other peoples and find it so interesting. Half the times, it is like who is seeing who or who is mooning over who, but most of the times the lifestyles of people in general from different countries just absolutely fascinates me. Good that browsing internet will not become a bore in future. Blogging definitely is revolutionary.Subhashreenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336680.post-1077016816815075362004-02-17T03:20:00.000-08:002008-12-16T09:40:15.433-08:00Read this joke in a blog...
Love is like a deck of cards:
you need a Heart to love him,
a Diamond to marry him,
a Club to smash his friggin' head,
and a Spade to bury him with.
Amen. Subhashreenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336680.post-1077016493568463672004-02-17T03:14:00.000-08:002008-12-16T09:40:15.462-08:00I was reading other blogs today. In one of the blogs by a guy called Anant Jain, he had written about the television. He used to be a couch potato it seems and now when he went to work and had to stay in another city with a couple of guys without a television to entertain him, he found that he had lot of time to do things that he had forgotten. Like meeting up friends, reading, etc.

Even in the air-conditioned workplace air! Our cafeteria has a new look now. Red hearts stuck on walls, heart shaped balloons stuck to the tables... Even the juice section sported a new look with a variety of mocktails like kiss me, love bug, lemon floats, blah blah blah...

He was also mentioning a couple of tools, like six hats and PMI, which we can use to get rid of this kind of thinking.

Today morning I read his update and evening I logged on to read yet another update. He should keep updating his blog more often in a day.
The blog update of Pavithra was I-don’t-know-what-to-say… just amazing. She has a way with words. Is she a regular writer or what? Today’s update was on Pisiraandhaiyaar.

So it came as a surprise when I saw thin books with Ray’s name on it and the back cover saying they are crime stories. This was at Chennai Book fair. In another stall, I saw two volumes of Feluda stories and I got the first one. I haven’t started reading it yet, and I will post my detailed thoughts once I am done with it.

It has over 3300 cliches indexed. Was fun going through the cliches for the word 'old'.
There is a website listing phobias. This has an extensive list. Should be helpful when I write fiction I guess!

I like Alex's website. In her other website, she has put up her day-to-day or rather time-to-time thoughts about leaving a full-time well-paying job for freelance writing. When I read that, it was like reading from my diary had I taken the same decision. I guess I'll take the BIG step like her someday, and this log of hers will help me get through the rough times.Subhashreenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336680.post-942495662003-05-12T23:13:00.000-07:002008-12-16T09:40:22.665-08:00I blog regularly, almost everyday.

I am currently reading Bridget Jones's Diaries. I know its pretty late that I got hold of the book. The reason why I am reading it now is that I couldn't see the movie on TV. That's why.

Online library with lots and lots of research articles and books. The best thing about this site is, its free. I guess so, atleast I was able to access one of the research papers.

Came across a great site on words.
Eddy from TWIN Mailing list suggested this site for learning new words.
It is a Visual Thesaurus in 3D / 2D effect.
I think Guru also suggested this long back, but either the internet connection was too slow or I didn't find time to see it.Subhashreenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336680.post-937878042003-05-05T00:23:00.000-07:002008-12-16T09:40:22.687-08:00I was reading an article in Michael LaRocca's Newsletter. It was about the good things about reading on two different media. One was reading books / any material on the computer and the other was reading a book. That got me into thinking. Well, though reading on the computer and searching information on the internet proves time-saving and quick, I prefer reading from a book.

Let me ask you a question. When is the last time you made a conscious decision to add a new habit to your life? If you are like most people you probably answered...never!
The reason for this is that most people only think of habits as something bad. If you ask ten people on the street what the word habit Subhashreenoreply@blogger.com
