The beginning of the end :P

yup......I think I should start writing a blog....at least till the time I don't leave aside the illusion that I am a part of the literati .....and hold fast to the concept of me being a hidden genius whose potential has been left untapped by the world....:P
This blog is not an attempt to earn immense popularity nor an attempt to impress girls :P..(this is what my friend who is both popular as well as is a ladies man has as his opening line ....)
Frankly its nothing....its just as the title goes the eternal ramblings of an extremely common mind....
so thats enough of self debasement ....if anybody comes across my shame on the world wide web.....atleast they will not abuse me that much when they are discussing the blog over a cuppa coffee...(He is ok....but U gotta give it to the guy...he is unassuming :P)....
SO todays hopelessly irrelevant and insignificant topic on which Iam going to ramble...is the theme of the tamil movie Anbe Sivam.....i.e Love is God...(cliched but ya we southies like it that way)
Since Iam on bench(euphemism for unemployed) ....which Iam enjoying a lot and I really do have to put on an act when people come to me and ask "did u get a project"...and Iam like (with the"frustrated software- genius -mangled-hair" look)....."no man....the buggers ...I hope they rot in hell.....very few number of projects in mumbai".....the fact that I screw up with half the technical interviews can be just added as an afterthought :P.....
whhoopsie..coming back to the movie....one of the finest of Kamal hassan....for the uninitiated....Anbe Sivam is the story of a Tamil guy with communist idealogies ,who picks up the fight with the local mill owner and predictably falls in love with his daughter....
The movie picks up pace after Kamal is handicapped and lives the life of a nomadic wanderer...doing good to all and sundry.....
Two very beautiful scenes......Both Kamal and Madhavan try in vain to save a child who is dying....but lose him out.....madhavan lets out steam by blaming god....and kamals amazingly moving repartee "I have not lost faith in God......I find him in your heart which cries for a child he does not know"....man.....Two days ago was reading a book in sanskrit (Again not meant to impress the ladies :P..though if they get impressed I would like it )........where the guy had explained "deivam Manushya roopena".......heehhe at that time felt like a bit of overstatement........and once more towards the end the way a murderer gets transformed on seeing kamal....breathtakingly beautiful....oops i guess i have jumped the horse...what happens is Mr.baddie hires goon to kill kamal....but goon already has sufferd much personal losses and repents by asking forgveness from kamal...wherein kamal says " I have not lost faith in God......I find him in the heart of a murderer who asks for forgiveness even when driven by the thirst of murder" .......Though the movie is pretty much run of the mill..Kamals acting lends finesse to his character........Well thats enough of the celluloid.......
Coming back to the remaning part of the day...I spent it productively by reading the "collected works of rabindranath tagore"......I mean where did this guy live....his language is flawless..HE writes with the innocence and simplicity of a child.......once agin the unique combination of a brilliant brain and innocent heart....One of the stories "Kabuliwala"....was brilliant...Its about a Street vendor who develops a fatherly attachment for mini....who is the daughter of one of his customers......He actually sess his own daughter in the little girl.....The story is told as seen from the eyes of Minis father......In fact there is no story at all.......he has beautifully interwoven a beautiful friendship among two individuals with the traditionality(is that a word ?) of indian culture....typical tagore .......well unlike you guys I don't do much in a day .....so that's it for today....My blessings on those who had to go through these painful paragraphs....I hope they too may find peace by writing blogs and by disturbing the peace of others :P
