Of music, food and love

Shakespeare's quote from Twelfth Night:

"If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die."

Enter "Baekku"sphere:

"If music be the food of love, deafen me;
Give me none of it, that, malnourishing,
The appetite may starve, and so die."

or another one:
"If music be the food of love, I wish I was born deaf".

P.S.: Is that why, though I have tons of GBs of songs with me, I never listen to any?! :D

Tragedy of sorts (or lets say...comedy of sorts)

With a group of my friends, I was planning to watch the movie "Superbad" today. I heard from some of my friends that its a good movie. Some half an hour before movie-time I was chatting with a friend of mine and I asked her if she had watched it. Her reaction was "aiyooo...kodumai...lol" and then she added "maybe guys like it". I didnt understand then, but when i went for the movie, I understood what she meant. Every single sentence right from the time i entered the movie hall (i was a few minutes late) was infested with obscene words! Even for a guys-only group, it would have been difficult, because of the too-much obscene language. Considering that we were a mixed group, we felt very very inconvenient watching it. 5 mins...thats it, couldnt tolerate it more than that. Here's the hilarious part. We wanted to shift to a different hall, so I went out as if to drink water to check what other movies were playing and decide on one. I get back into the hall, we decide the next one. Then we went out and told the theater staff that we didnt wanna watch the movie because it had already started and we would see it later and that we wanted to shift to a different movie now! :D Must have sounded very dumb...but the guy took it and let us shift. So we shifted to a different hall that was screening "Good Luck Chuck", which had already started some 20 mins ago. From the looks of the poster outside, it looked like a romantic-comedy. So we decided to take the "risk"! :D But no sooner did we sit to watch that movie, did we understand that this was as bad a movie! :) Again, we get out, see that the only other movie that might not be this "risky" would be "Eastern Promises", a suspense movie. But the next show was only at 9:40 and it was only 8 then. So we tell the staff again, that we dont like this movie and we would like to come at 9:40 to watch the other movie! :D Deep inside, we were laughing at ourselves for giving such lame excuses...he he! :) Finally, we ended up watching the movie and it turned out to be "safe" and ok! :D
Moral of the story: Before you go for a movie, check for the reviews/story thoroughly...otherwise, you could end up watching a Super Bad movie and end up making yourselves a laughing stock! :D

The gift of the gab

Well...the initial intent with which I started my blog was to keep track of The Hindu Crossword puzzle clues...Iam a geek, so what else can u expect from me?! :D

But yeah, then I came to the land of Uncle Sam to do my Masters and stopped even that much of blogging (pardon me, but for want of a better word, I used blogging to indicate the posts that I published with Crossword clues)....and then....something happened and a few months later, I thought I should register it somewhere and wrote it here, as my previous blog posting.

Iam not too much of a writer neither am I too much of a speaker. How does one do it? I mean, how is it that some people are able to talk whenever/wherever they want...and how is it that people write blogs...all so wonderful and nice to read (ahem, this includes the blogs of the only 2 readers of my previous post! :D. Thanks much you two, who read my previous blog...it is always nice to get a bit of encouragement!:D).

Here are my views on blogging better:
* You need to start reading more. Read novels, news, magazines, blogs, etc. Then, you would get opportunities/ideas to write blogs
* You need to talk with your friends a lot more and listen to them...you might get ideas there too
* Peer Pressure: Phew!! Do I know better! Personally, my motivation for writing this blog is because ALL of my readers wanted me to post something new (he he...Iam not joking/exaggerating...I have 2 readers and both wanted new post from me...so thats ALL of my readers! :P)

"local language": En mandaila irukkura kidneykku therinja matter ivlodhaan...
please let me know if u have more ideas..or if u think my ideas r not correct...so that I can start blogging more! :D

P.S: Wanted to write one more blog post...but shall do it one at a time now...after I get inputs for this posting...so yay! I have a topic for my next posting too! :D
