Ode to lost memories…( A first poem)

November 30, 2009

 I always think i have found the perfect friend,
One who would be my side till the VERY end,
But now that they have gone away,
Such a loss, i dont know what to say.

I’m again the loner i always was,
It makes me sad, angry, and makes me cry.
A life so sad that it makes me mad,

In the pleasure of the moments so fine,
Though i relished every moment to the hilt,
But once again the life I want cannot be mine,
I decided it is best to quit.

Now that we are moving on
I wonder when the time will come?
When God would give me that “Perfect Friend”?
A Question i pondered so long
How long would the next “perfect friend” last?
How long until my heart is shattered glass again?

If i could reverse time?
If i could go back,
If i had a chance to change things,
If i could do things in a differnt light,
If i could have seen things come,
If i could have had more purpose then,
would i?

I’m sat on my own,
No one to pick me up.
I lie here thinking,
It’s all my fault,
If ever any was, it is all my fault.

Harry Potter And the Half Blood Prince-Review

July 27, 2009

Spoilers Ahead!

Last week Hp 6 movie got released and I should admit after the fifth I was not very keen on watching it.But it got good reviews from all critics and think rottentomaotes gave it a 90% rating. So I thought it was worth checking out.

Saw the movie day before and I came out of the theatre quite confused I should say.

The movie has some excellent visual effects especially the scene in the pensive and the opening sequence when death eaters go on a rampage through London.But the scene where snape gives narcissa the unbreakable vow has been wasted.It was a scene with a lot of potential for some drama. Another scene which could have been done well is the scene wgere hp uses sectusempra on draco.But on the whole the special effects works pretty good for the movie.The acting especially of the three leads is what works for the movie.There seems to be good chemistry and understanding between the three. Ginny also plays her part well.

Where hp fails is in the fact that the script is way off the book at times.I can understand certain omissions from the book due to time constraints but adding news twists and turns to the plots is not very accepatable. Rowling is probably not the best author in the world but at the end of the day she she is the one who wrote harry potter and noone can do a better job than her.

The scene where bellatrix comes to destroy “The burrow” though thrilling doesn’t add much to the movie. The kiss between harry potter and ginny would have had more impact had it been done as in the book instead in the room of requirement with no one around.But the sequence between Lavender and Ron has been shot well.The movies humongous failure is in its climax.The visual effects are good in the scenes especially in the cave but there are big misses in the screenplay as there are no refernces about the inferi and there seems to be no communication between Dumbledore and Harry. The movies crowning movement could have been the fight between Dumbledore , Harry and the death eaters but those scenes are wasted with harry just looking on as Snape comes and mumbles something to kill Dumbledore.You don’t feel the enormity of the situation. And after all this Dumbledore should have been given a proper funeral sadly all you are left with a less than 100 student long with Mcgonall pointing their wands to the sky.

I would end saying this movie is the best so far but could have been a lot better.


Article 377

July 12, 2009

Its been a long time since a new post…. So i just thought this time around i would write about something different…

Article 377 or section 377 of the Indian penal code was drafted in 1860 149 years ago by Lord Macaulay which criminalized consensual adult sex between the same sex.. It treated it as a cardinal sin. So why am I writing about a law made 149 years ago because on July 2 nd 2009 through a landmark judgment the Delhi high court has ruled that article 377 is against the constitution of India which says  citizens have equal opportunity and is equal before the law..

So what does this mean for us the young,, for 90% of us its probably laughing matter but for 10% of the Indian population that is around a whopping 100 million people this is a time of celebration. There will be various discussions about this judgment lot of people for it and lot of people against it. So what do I think about it? Personally it doesn’t affect me and I wouldn’t have usually written a post about homosexuality but yesterday I was watching a discussion on a national news channel… A gentleman was saying legal sing homosexuality will degrade the family system of India.. A representative of a community was under the impression that homosexuality is not something u r born with but according to him it is developed.. I quote “ When a boy or a girl is attending a camp or stays in a hostel without any contact with the other sex homosexual thoughts develop in them and we believe that its can be removed by counseling”

Both of these statements might seem logical at first especially the latter one but think about it  how does being gay degrade the Indian family system and when fathers are raping their own daughters can there be any more degradation than that and the thing about spreading of homosexuality.. is homosexuality a disease.. it isn’t a disease its something u r born with… A study shows  10% of human population is gay so obviously its not someones’s choice but something u r born with.  And to the next theory about how people turn gay.. I don’t think if I am put with hundred other guys for a year I ll have sex with one of them.. I d rather play with myself (cheeky term heh :d)….. same way a gay guy wont turn straight if he  s put with 100 girls…

But whatever change in law takes place until our society becomes open to change and to accept people the way they are, u can’t call it progress. But Indians are not known for their openness.. just the whopping sales of fairness creams shows to what extent the discrimination is there in our society even on flimsy grounds such as colour and if my memory is right there was one Hindi soap about this discrimination..

But to be fair to the authorities there has been no use of this article 377 in the past 20 years and so the judgement has given a legal support but social support is still far away…..

In later news the church has decided to appeal against the verdict in the supreme court but its understood the govt wont go for further appeal… lets hope this is a new beginning and end of discrimination of gay community in India but I have a sinking feeling that’s not gonna happen, I hope, I really do that I am wrong….


S3 Starts with a bang.

September 1, 2008

Our college, being ranked among the best in the country owes that credit to some of the unparalleled teaching geniuses working among the staff. It was always noted and said many a time that MOST of our teachers were just out of the world beings, one’s who could just come to class and teach entire subjects at a stretch without anything as little as a glimpse into the text books. The following might tell you why.

We started the third semester two months ago. And like always, we have new teachers, and new subjects. One of these dealt with heat transfers and stuff, which a mere mortal like me still finds pretty hard to comprehend. I was trying to study it for the series exam tomorrow. And then this incident flashed on my mind. Since I’ve already officially given up hopes of passing the exam, I thought I’d just come here and put this much down, hoping to give life to my wheezing, dying blog.

So where was I. Ah yes, Heat transfer.

So this Sir. Let us call him Mr. X.(For the sake of mine sessional marks in the unlikely event of him coming across this post). So Mr. X is teaching us about heat. I’m as usuall nodding off in class(so are many more people); my upper torso on the verge of falling over- thanks to another late night the day before, wasting time fruitlessly online. And it happened before I could control it.

YAAAAAAAAWNNNNNNNNNNN

Mr. X: “ Ellarum enthade oru ksheenam pole, orakkam thane” (Why is everyone so sleepy?)

Some wiseguy: “Sir this is a BIT boring”.

Mr. X:

This might be boring. Let me make the class a bit more interesting. Let us talk about wider topics. <loads of blah blah>. Anyone know what re-entry is?”

Another wise guy: “Term used for when a space vehicle returns to the atmosphere”

Mr X: “ Correct!. Now the speed at which the vehicle returns is approximately 20 thousand miles per hour. Due to the friction with air, that generates a heat of kakkathollayiram into ten raised to 5 joules per centimetre”

*Class sits up straight. People are definitely getting interested*

Mr X Continues:

“So proper heat insulation is mandatory for the space vehicle. NASA has developed different substances for that. Example, silica tiles.

VSSC il insulation tiles research chaiyunan oru main character njan anu (I’m one of the main people doing research about this at VSSC)

We have developed a new material and tested it for heat resistance and then we plotted a graph.

This is the graph I got *Draws a graph*

And this is the graph NASA got for their material *Draws a strikingly similar graph*

Iee subject ile RANDU international paper ente peril anu. Njan ezhutiyata. Ente peru google chaitu nokiya kaanam (Two international papers in this subject are by me. You can get it be googling my name)

*explodes*Basically njan ithrem valia oru sambhavam anu

Ah ente classilanoda neeyokke kedanu orangune ? ninakonum naanam illeda.

Itoke bhayankara interesting anu.. itonum arinjodate neeyonum orukaalatum pass akan ponila. Gonam pidikathilla

Alla pinne”

(Basically I rock. And how dare you sleep in MY class. Shameless creatures. This is an interesting topic. Without knowing all this, you will never pass anything.. be damned)

Audience: “blink blink”
