October - November 2009

Politics: The Hot Topic was 'How the Elections (Candidates) has bought over the Media (Supposed to be Free Fourth Estate)- Newspaper, TV Organisations all included. It started in Andhra Pradesh and went full hog in Maharashtra. About hundreds of crores was given by the cadidates to the Media. The newspaper or the TV studios or centres will run special coverages on the candidate. Those who have not given that wil be shown the door. No informations to the public about the candidate will be published. Sometimes negative review will be made. This at present Election Commission has no clue about how to encounter this problem. This is becoming a new trend in the already money making Election business and in general Politics.

Cricket: The 7 match one-day series against Australia is turning out to be one of the most contested series. While all are talking about the Dying of 50 Overs - a - side matches being taken over by the T20, this series is turning out be opposite of that. Every match is well contested. The 5th Match of the series at Hyderabad,is one of the great matches of all times. What an Innings 'GOD of Cricket' has played. Afte 20 years of International Cricket he is still showing the hunger to play. This match shows that India is still dependant on him. The wheel has turned back, when he got our the match has been lost, 16 runs not being able to score by last 5 players. It reminded of the Chennai Match against pakistan. The way he batted,it doesn't look like the player of 36 years. A great innings,eventhough it was very disappointing that india lost at the end, but the cricket was fantastic. Australia scored brilliantly and all the top players scored. They relly upped the ante. India chased brillantly, sachin never allowed the run rate to creep up more that 8 runs at any point of time. Congratulations to sachin - first man to reach 17,000 runs. The match was money's worth - more than a penny to the share.

Film: Seeing a series of Low Profiled Movies - turning out to be an excellent films - SWAT, Mindhunters, Firewall, Departed (not a low profile movie in any sense)Death in Paradise, Sin City ...Full list will follow. Saw Blue - It's kind of 'OK' nto as bad as the critics has panned it. Lara Dutta was simply Sizzling in Bikini's. Good attempt. ARR is as usual brilliant. Watched Aadhavan on Diwali day - an horror of a movie. It is better to watch it in 'Downloads'.

Nostalgia: Now, back in touch with my classmates from 1985-1990 - college in PSG CAS CBE. What a nostalgic feeling. IT is really exceptional to get in touch will all the friends. Waiting for the day to meet them in Person.

Books: Read Dan Brown's THe lost Deception. Oh! turned out to be real cocker of a story. Continuosly read for 4 days. IT is very lengthy. IT is avery good read. Dan Brown is as usual mesmerizing. Amazing is the kind of 'Conversations' and the themes. Really a genius.
