The Da Vinci Code by Ron Howard Well, finally managed to catch the moview! The moview has been banned all over Tamil Nadu (Drat!!!), but I chanced to catch it. IPrehaps because I have read the book, the actors seem to be mere narrators of the script. I could hardly accept Tom Hanks (guess he is getting a little old these days), as Robert Langdon. I like Silas though, but would have expected a more burly man! ...

The ability to put together a set of innovations into real-life use and build something that reaches the lives of common men, making it a tad easier, a tad more fun .. that I think is the most amazing ability that a person can have. We were discuss this among many other, at office the other day, when we decided to go to a movie. Now, I have this habit of watching a movie at “Satyam” - chennai’s very own sofisticated multiplex.

I was always intrigued and amazed by the ability of human beings to give up their lives at some of the most beautifiul places. Why do people like to jump of cliffs that provide a breathtaking view, or bridges like the one at SFO with its capability to produce “suddenly-surreal” images!

well, about a coupla months back, I got myself a guitar and having been since then, utting my fingers at it on and off (mostly after midnight). I have finally learnt how to play a few bars of “Ilaya Nila”, the song that really pushed me towards learning the guiatr in the first place. After numerous attempts to find the notes myself and failing quite miserably at that, I found this amazingly true reproduction of the original, Guitar Lesson #8646 at WholeNote: Ilaya Nila by Ananth Narayanan. Kudos to you dude! ...
