If you are looking forward to reading yet another review that is going to rave about this movie, then go ahead and skip reading this post.
Stunning locations & the vibrant colours of Trisha’s lovely costumes captured beautifully on camera and, of course, the songs and the background music are all I liked in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. I just loved the BGM parts that had Aaromale and Hosanna.

It’s a Friday today and weekend is just a few hours away! 
There is a T.M.Krishna’s concert today!
It is Sanjay’s first concert of the Season tomorrow!
Today morning, I had so many things to be happy about and I was, indeed, so very excited that I thought it wouldn’t be possible for me to be more excited than I already was, when I saw in ‘The Hindu’’s ‘Friday Review’ that Mani Ratnam is going to be one of the guests of honour at the release of the DVD of T.M.Krishna and Bombay Jayashri’s ‘Margazhi Raagam’!!!
The day in 2005 when I saw in ‘Metro Plus’ that DVDs of Mani Ratnam’s movies are going to be launched by Mani Ratnam himself still remains evergreen in my memory, while seeing Mani Ratnam and even getting his autograph still seems like an unbelievable dream!! Despite all the excitement, there is this big disappointment that my sister is not there in India now. 
She wasn’t able to come for the DVD launch of Mani Ratnam’s movies itself! Anyway, irrespective of whether I see Mani Ratnam this Sunday or not, I am super-excited!!!
The ‘Margazhi Raagam’ DVD launch is going to happen at Cafe Ashvita in Radhakrishnan Salai on December 6th (4 pm - 5 pm). I don’t think any invite is needed for this. So, all you Mani Ratnam fans out there, mark your calendar!

Good evening everybody! The day began sans any Monday blues. But as the day progressed, I was down with severe head-ache. It got so worsened that by evening I was in such a grumpy mood. Not even the surprise drizzle cheered me up. Head-ache still continues. And yeah grumpiness continues too.
I am so happy that Federer finally won the French Open! Yay! I know this ‘Yay’ is coming very late. But there was some problem with internet at home yesterday. I watched the historic moment yesterday. Did you watch it?
I watched Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na yesterday and I didn’t like it. To me, the best story ever told about best friends becoming lovers has surely got to be Erich Segal’s ‘Doctors’. It takes the best friends in ‘Doctors’ almost 40 years to realize and accept that they are in love with each other. But when it finally happens, how happy the readers too feel along with the couple!
I had my first guitar class on Saturday and I got a black acoustic guitar. Though I just learnt to play the open strings, still it felt great to hold a guitar in my hand and play it
There are those friends with whom you once spent hours talking over phone/chatting/SMSing. But then comes a point of time when the friend becomes so busy with other things that there’s no time for everyday calls or chats. And after that comes a time when you finally call after a long time and you realize that you have nothing at all to talk. But as there are two sides to any coin, there are those friends whom if you meet even after a long time, you can talk just like old times.
Let me end my rambling right here. Even blogging doesn’t seem to be giving me the diversion from my head-ache. Bye folks!
P.S.: I couldn’t think of any proper title either

Humming this song from the movie Khamoshi is how I began the day today and a major part of the day itself had me feeling happy and in a cheerful mood that even as I am typing this post, I am singing the same song.
A pleasant weather in the wee hours of morning, the sky with some beautiful golden hues looking very gorgeous during sunrise, solving today’s kakuro in bus sooner than usual, solving a sudoku with maximum difficulty level again in about 15 min, a nice, long break with a friend, listening to my current favourites Paarthaale Paravasame and If You Wanna (from New) on repeat mode, sky with pinkish hues when the sun was setting, dinner at Eden with friends, the yummylicious Chocolate Fetish Sundae at Eden 
(I decided not to have ‘The Last Time Ever I Saw My Waist’ 
That’s an ice cream’s name there). What a good day it has been!
By the way, today is Madhavan’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Madhavan! May he get to act in more good movies like Anbe Sivam, Evano Oruvan and Yavarum Nalam!
