1O DAY YOU CHALLENGE #9 2 SONGS

well, gotta admit, the 10 DAY CHALLENGE has really lost its lustre. what is the reason you ask? well, in my point of view, it has to do with the decrease in the size of the posts as the days go on. after a point of time, the posts come down to a mere 2 or 3 lines. and there isn't really much you can do in 3 lines of text.

in fact, i happened to type the above para just to add size to the text. the lack of interest will be seen from the fact that i happened to type this post directly on BLOGGER and not in MS WORD like i normally do. and i didn't proof read this as well. so in case you find any mistakes, pls bear with me. B)

2 SONGS

#1 HEY SOUL SISTER-TRAIN

scintillating music, simple lyrics. best piece of music i've listened to in a while.

#2 MADAI THIRANDU- NIZHALGAL

One of ilayaraja's best pieces. but a forgettable video. i recommend switching off your monitor and then listening to the song :D

until next time,

adios!

MOVIE REVIEW - HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

This movie falls under the same category as KUNG FU PANDA in the sense, its an animation flick meant for kids but actually contains a deeper message. Well to be frank, when I first came across the title, I thought, what the hell should I really give it a try. But a few friend’s of mine who did manage to catch the movie during the first day of its release told me that they really enjoyed it. Considering how vetti I was at that time, I decided, what the hell, why not download it. ;)

And I must admit, I totally enjoyed each and every minute of the movie. The animation was done to make it look like a kid’s movie. But I guess that’s what made the movie click, the childish animation complimenting the strong screenplay though I must admit, there really wasn’t much of a proper story. :D

But as I said, the movie was really really enjoyable and the special bonding between HICCUP, the Viking boy and TOOTHLESS, the wounded Night fury dragon was definitely commendable. Definitely a movie people of all age groups would enjoy.

Well I must admit, I was stupid to have downloaded this movie instead of watching it in 3D in the theatres. What to say, I didn’t really have time to go to the theatres back then. But once my exams are done, I’ll definitely make it a point to catch the movie in the theatre. Hope u guys do the same.

P.S. One thing I noticed when I was watching the movie was that this movie seems to have borrowed heavily from its more stylishly animated cousin-AVATAR. There are many scenes, for eg, the scene where Hiccup learns to ride Toothless that resembles very much the scene where the hero’s avatar catches his “flying dragon” near the Floating Mountains of Pandora. A sense of déjà vu occurs in a few more scenes but I guess these glitches get overshadowed by the overall brilliance of the film. Definitely a must watch.
Running in theatres near you.
Until next time,
ADIOS!!!!!!!

STUDY HOLLS?!?!!? YEAH RITE.. :D

U know what the worst part of a semester is?
of course, its the STUDY HOLLS, the one week's time alloted before the exams for studying during which time we usually end up doing everything except studying.

Yeah yeah, it was no different in my case as well, though this time around, i had a valid reason to be not studyin, ya that's rite, i had my league games which unfortunately had to be extended till the month of may, the month during which the sun seems brighter than the yellow on the CSK jersey(believe me, it was so damn hot) :S :D

The matches went off really well and as u guess i was really upbeat, and really tired as well cos 6 hours under that hot sun really drained me. So that ruled out any possibilities of me studying after i returned from the match [which was already very very slim ;D]


But i really had a lot of time on hand. So after a quick shower after the game, it was time for some movie watchin. And movie watchin i did. I actually ended up downloading and watchin a wide range of movies. Name the genre, i had been there, done that. ;)

The last league game of the season ended up today and obviously, it was time to chill out and chill out i did with a movie marathon. 3 movies straight and i must admit, i totally loved watchin them. good choice of movies i guess cos i didn't really get bored.

The best of the lot i watched today was of course, the latest hollywood animation flick, "HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON", a brilliant movie and a must watch for those who are looking for clean, wholesome entertainment unlike the other hollywood movie which i saw and also totally liked, though i must admit, the viewership would be limited to restricted age groups and sections of the society. ;D

Time seems to be running in super fast mode now with barely 4 days left before my first exam starts. And considering the way things function at INDIA'S NO 1 PRIVATE UNIVERSITY, I guess i'll be losing one more day in the process of collecting my hall ticket. So now it comes down to jus 3 days, and this time i must admit, i definitely am up with my back against the wall. jus hope everything works out well.

Until next time,

Adios...
