Pat(on th back!!)ch Adam(ant!!)s!!!!


"we saw an awesoe movie 2day..."xclaimed Maddy,a frnd of mine....
.A guy who s the biggest wannabe movie geek(me,of cse,who else cud dat be????),quizzed
which one "Patch Adams"....
well...i kno abt ur awesome and god-level movies,i thought...but wen reviews frm viewers having wide spectrum of tastes,also had reasons to appreciate the movie,i decide it s about time i watched the movie....
so having copied the movie frm mt frnds comp immediatly,i neva really got to see
the movie then and there....40 odd dayzz of mixed emotions elapsed,after i procured the movie and finally sat to watch the movie...
in the middle of the nite,i started watching....
it starts by saying,it s an original story so i also get myself a face wash(boiographies r otherwise morose and boring,i suppose)...but it was different and in a way yes AWESOME....
Robin williams proved his mettle,donning the role of Hunter 'Patch' Adams....
he s xpressions start hitting ur gut,from the moment "i don give rat s a@#$" flows out of his mouth,the welcome for the gyeanocologists....i wonder,what Hunter patch really said!!!
not only did his ways of treating ppl,touch me,his adamant behaviour and reluctance to change stand firm in my mind.....he wants the entire medical system to be changed instead....
i am no analyzer of patients,but i personally am for,the patch s style of treatment....and the movie really does convince me,nd seals the thought
"Ethics and proffesionalism in the correct ratio...will make u the best in ur profession,no matter what u do for ur living..." with concrete...
PAT on the back for PATCH!!!

In how many ways can u be........????


Finally,this is the moment that i ve been w8in for all these years....after four years of constant struggle during which i have always had sumthing else to master and understand,i tried to understand the intricacies of Permutations and Combinations,but in vain....and now finally the vanglorious moment has come,i ve now understood the concepts of permutation and cominations(at least thats wat i think!!!!)..an i ll be able to solve 'em problems withouthaving to remember any formulae....
the struggle dates back to the year of 2002,where i had more or less,little troublle juking those qns in the xams....in 2004 it was the greatest hitch on my way
for all competitive xams...i cried at my inability to solve problems...i mocked myself...i almost commited suicide,when i was having the same trouble again and again..
the more i studied,the worse it became,the wound in my heart i mean,infliced due to my inability t not only do,but to understand...for the past two years,even dho they werent part of my curriculum,i studied them with only heart and nothing else to aid me...
i hoped dat i d make it there and make it big one day...and yes!!! i reckon the day is not very far..nw my happiness knows no bounds,u wanna c me now???
u can see me only in air...i am flyin,i am rejoicing,i am the happiest person on earth....
well now at least i can countenanc,Hitler s carefully chosen phrases..
"Obstacles are place across he paths of one s life,not to be boggled at ,but to be surmounted"
Cheers !!!!

Der Untergang(DOWNFALL)

The watching of this movie gave me doublr pleasure..one is that i was able to complete
the movie download,after a period spanning two months,nd i was more than impressed by what i saw...(or shud i say what i felt!!!)
My first movie in German...The first movie in which i saw Hitler as a charecter...the movie starts at the peak of the war,and is as narrated by his the then secretary traudl,who was alive until 2002,but most part of the movie is on Hitler's last dayzz(the Name of the movies explicitly tells that)...the dayzz ,when his most loyal and trusted proteges and followers desert him...hose sad das in his life,where he hoped he d make it,but lot of unfortunations,that led to his UNTERGANG
i am no supporter f Hitler,but on the contary i am his ditcher,but his fastidious nature has lured mr into reading his autobiography....but y did a man who is being portrayed as brave and havig a recalcitrant nature,commit suicide....had i been Hitler i wud certainly have faced the enemy till the very end...i d alwayzz want a soldiers death..
anywayzzz as i was saying,he movie proceeds in a breackeck speed unstoppable...keepin u on ur seat,in the half of the movie b4 hitler s suicide...
after which the speed wanes away paving way for the elephantine paced screenplay ..now,that was a part that i didnt like...
kudos to the director for cutting down th scenes which wud have promised more blood,had there been any other director(i cant imagine tarentino there...lol..)..
in all it was?(is) a fantastic effort...

KILL BILL....

well i have always been under the impression that watchin movies,to jus get entertainedwould leave u nowhere...so decided for a movie of one of my fav director Quentin tarentino...he has proved again dat he is one of the "very very" different directors,who certainly have sumthing differnt in their movies....i suppose,he is in th leagues of the hitchcocks,the kurosowas,nd the kubricks....
i had alwayzz wanted to watch this movie but time wasnt on my side then...so i started nd the movie sarted nd the song "bing bong.."(wateva) still is in my ears.... although a run of the mill,revenge story(i am moe used to these kinda movies,becuse of the impact of tamil cinema were 4 outta 10 movies follow dis pattern),kill bill has its tarentino touches...the non linear screenplay for example..ppl who start undersanding tarentino movies as the roll by on the screen,wud be my geniuses of the day.......
the incongruity of killing ppl in such a cruel fashion,makes us think that it is very illogical nd sanguinary...but folks,we are watching a movie,wer everything is artificial,so better dont ask logical qns..."Shut the f**$ up..!!!"..
the amazing speed iwith which the movie progesses,got me glued to the screen...
the only part that iritated me was the part wer uma thurman encounters the body gaurds...i suppose,the stunt was an unnecessary scene nd dragged too long without ny necessty...nd regarding the rest,two things came to my mind,wen the name "KILL BILL" was mentioned earlier..."tarentino and blood"..
now it s three things.."quentin","revenge is best we served cold" nd "more blood"..
cheers!!!

Post MID SEM chennai...

i got myself a well earned break,after a week of tiring xams,which got the better of me(again huh!!!)...my start was marked by sweet news reaching my ears...it said the train wud be late by an hour or two due to rains in kolkata....my reaction was a flat face nd neat smile,for i cud not do any better....
the journey or was it waste of time,again got the better of me....i reached chennai
in the early hrs of the day,so dat i shall waste one full day...the climate was more compassionate this time,the sun occasionally peeping out of the clouds...a 'vroom' sounding ride on the bike,suggested that chennai has not changed much...except now,i cud see the black and maroon everywhere reminding me again of the results of the may '06 elections.....
an afternoon nap,became more of an habit after xams,so came back home much for the irritation of my mom,who was busy with her daily chores which included watching two mega serials...i shud not disturb her,shud i????so with the internet tempoarily outta service, i had little choice but to watch those serials,which again did not change much..the same ever-un changing plot,dis tym wid even more branches....so had my first proper ome food after as many as two months...and went for a nice nap...
i peruse the funny but njoyable weather nd laughed at the thought of
the lines
"CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT IN THE WORLD"...
my evening passed faster than it had come....i went to the market donning the tempoary grocers role,i ran outta change while buying a certain vegetable...
dats wen i realised
"CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT IN THE WORLD,SO ALWAYZZ CARRY SOME WITH U WHEREVER YOU GO"..

Man Utd 1-Reading 1


Well,as i sat down for a cup of tea,with the TV blaring,little did i realise that my favouite wud lose its strong hold on the lead that it held for as long as two weeks....well,upsets do happen,they alwayzzz do in EPL,nd very very often in the case of red devils....
The disappointing defeat against archrivals Arsenal must have come as an eyeopener for the red devils but unfortunately it didnt at least thats wat it looked like....
United had chances to steal the points, with Kieran Richardson missing his kick in front of goal.
Gabriel Heinze lined up for the first time in over a year in a Manchester United team that showed five changes from that beaten by Arsenal.

They almost snatched an early lead as Wayne Rooney's shot on the turn proved too hot for Hahnemann to hold and Graeme Murty just got to the loose ball ahead of the prowling Richardson.

By his own admission, Rooney is yet to find his touch this season and that was evident as Ronaldo's cute pass found him in space inside the box but the England striker's underhit shot proved little trouble for Hahneman.

Hahnemann continued to give the impression he wore non-stick gloves as he spilled Ronaldo's free-kick and Ivar Ingimarsson's clearance bailed him out.

In contrast, Van der Sar's handling was clean as a whistle as he went down to clutch Ki-Hyeon's powerful low drive with Leroy Lita lurking in vain for scraps.
nited, though, always carried more menace and when Ronaldo got to the dead-ball line he fired across the face of goal with Paul Scholes just failing to make contact.

Reading, defending a 100% home record, worked like Trojans to deny United space on the flanks and the lack of width forced the visitors to try and pick their way through the middle where Reading always ensured there was congestion.

Reading went ahead soon after the restart in controversial circumstances. Referee Walton ruled Neville controlled Ki-Hyeon's cross with his upper arm, a decision replays suggested might have been harsh to say the least.

Van der Sar guessed right and got a hand to Doyle's penalty but was unable to keep it out as the Irish striker claimed his fourth goal of the season.

Reading were not content to sit on their lead and the mobility of Lita and Doyle along United's back line kept them stretched.

Richardson completely missed his kick in front of goal from Rooney's cross, and he was instantly replaced by Saha as Sir Alex Ferguson looked to give Rooney more support.

United needed something inspirational to crack Reading's resistance and they got it from Ronaldo who collected the ball wide on the left, weaved his way inside Murty and fired an angled shot across Hahnemann.

The goal changed the face of the game, and United poured forward in search of a winner, but Reading continued to defend heroically, and held out for a deserved point.

CRAP....

i ve alwayzzz regarded the idea of blogging as crap....donno y....but anywayzzz a spontaneous crapper that i am,have started to crap(blog)...so bear with me..all yo folks!!!!!
cheers
