photo of A.R.Rahman and his wife, Saira Banu:
Nice photo! I guess this photo was taken on the same day as the last month’s interview one.
Got the photo from here
Update: Since I didn’t check the ARR Yahoo Group regularly the past week, I came to know only later that this photo was featured in this interview.

The weekend before last, I had been to Trichy. To begin with, the road from Tindivanam to Trichy was very bad, thanks to the work going on for converting the highway to a four-lane one.

Unputdownable and interesting! The one thing that I liked in the books of Michael Crichton that I have read till now, ‘Congo’ and ‘State of Fear’, is the way he presents the facts and findings from research, that runs into many paragraphs, in such a manner that it blends into the story and doesn’t make it even a single bit boring to read (how many of you agree?). In fact, I felt all those scientific research stuff made a pretty interesting read.
In ‘Congo’, there were many parts that I enjoyed a lot – the description of the African rainforest, the gorilla, Amy, saving Peter from the many other gorillas in ‘The Lost City of Zinj’, all the lead characters escaping from the cannibal tribes at the last minute and lots more. A great book indeed, though I liked none of the lead characters except maybe, Amy.

Can’t have enough of listening to the song, Uyirile from Vettaiyadu Vilayadu! I have been listening to it continuously for more than an hour now. I love Srinivas and Mahalaxmi Iyer’s voice in this song! I like the lyrics of this song too. Here’s the lyrics copy pasted from TFM Page:

Is there anyway in which a deleted spam comment can be recovered? I accidentally deleted a comment that was not spam but was marked spam.
