~~New year Calls~~

Wishing the very few lucky(!) people who reads my blog A very happy new year! Hope you people continue to read my in spite of all sorts of nonsense I scribble.

Its after 5 years I slept through the new year's eve and woke up early in the morning

Few calls I attended

Mum:
After wishing me ,few minutes into the conversation she started 'I saw your year's prediction by May Jupiter(guru) which is now looking in awkward way will change its
looks to a romantic look.(Of all the things I don't need Jupiter to look at me!).Anyways I told her I don't need planets support I can manage on my own!

Cousin:
Sundu called from CA ,talked with him after a long time , discussing about the adventure trip we had.

School Mate
Arun was my school mate till 10th standard ,after that I never met him only had mail contacts. Its been 10 years we haven't met and we have planned to meet soon.

Fellow blogger:
Subasree asked me how to start a blog sometime back and was successful in creating not one but two blogs.After reading few of my blogs and finding nothing useful this was the conversation.
SS: Who reads your blogs.
Me: Only handful, few of my relatives, one or two friends
SS: Oh Are all those people jobless ?


My 1st junior:
Its mostly I who had to listen to Krishna's weird experiences and his bike trips but for a change it was me who occupied the whole conversation bragging about my trip.As per his wish I will keep on writing ;)

Born Buddy:
Nithin who has flown down from Texas ,begged me to make a trip to Trichy before he flies back,said will work on the logistics.

Dad:
After formal wishes, it will be pure business talk.
Me: Appa planning to come to Pongal please book the return ticket
Dad:Ok, I m going to Mumbai next week book a ticket to Trichy from there.
Me: Done


It felt great talking with people, I spent the whole day relaxing at home. What a way to start the year!

Book I read..

Getting books has become an easy affair with the help of flipkart. Last week when I was browsing through the best seller's list I came accross this book titled 'Missed IIT kissed Russia' by Neeraj Chhibba. Atttracted by the title and the deal it gave I ordered the book.Got it two days back and finished it today.





The book gives an overall perspective of the hard life students had to deal when are studying in Russia where language ,climate ,food ,culture etc are new to them and getting adapted to them is a real challenge.Novel has its bit of humor and romance.Since its written by the author has missed IIT(like me-okok cool down) one can feel the pain in not getting through inspite of the efforts put.

A Good time pass.

~~Movie I saw~~

I have just completed seeing this movie Julie and Julia. It was really a good time pass and enjoyed the way it was taken. It was based on two true stories .



Julia Child is who is wife of US ambassador to France during last 1940's learns art of French cooking,once she masters it she decides to publish it,story goes on about the diffculties she faced in getting that book published.Finally she publishes the book Mastering the Art of French Cooking.Meryl Streep is starring as Julia Child and there is a little bit over acting.

Next one is about Julie Powell getting bored of the government job want to try out something new. She husband suggests to start a blog about cooking.So she sets a goal to complete the 524 recipes given in Julia Child's book in one year. Amy Adams is staring as Julie Powell and she has acted really well. The bloggers feel is well directed when she sees one comment for her blog later getting disappointed to know its from her mother,how happy she feels when she gets appriciated from people she doesnt know or met, the excitement she gets when her blog is about written in NewYorkTimes. Did some search in google and still herold blog is up and her new one.

~~Book I read~~

It always fun to read Chetan Bhagat's books, his sense of humour could be felt throughout.And the plot he chooses for his books would simple,practical and we can compare it with our own lives.



In his latest book inspired from his own life, its a love story between a north Indian guy and a south Indian girl. The cultural differences between the two states which puts these people in awkward situations are fun to read.The motive behind these two people is to convince their parents to accept their marriage and the whole novel describes the sacrifices and compromises they have to make to achieve their final goal. All in all a wonderful read!!
