! Radiohead !


This is one song I never tire of listening... it never gets boring, is crafted out of a single haunting tune, and puts me to sleep every night, wiping away my dire predictions of how tomorrow will be more worse.

 
No Surprises

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired and unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent.

Free... peace. :)

Hype, Undeserved.


Daniel Radcliffe cannot act to save his dog's life, let alone his own.

I fail to comprehend how the casting buggers could go so wrong in choosing the best actor for the lead role in one of the world's greatest franchises. The Harry Potter books were a huge rage, all credits to Rowling, because as Gary Oldman put it, "She succeeded in pulling away the kids from all the Playstations and Gameboys and X-boxes and she made them do something their parents could scarcely believe: read a book."

I still remember the time I spent reading first 5 installments, it was one hell of a ride, and I was immature enough to lap it all up. I remember cheering in the middle of a classroom free-period when I was reading through the paragraph where Harry gets his Firebolt (kinda like Ferrari in broom terms), and trust me its not something that I'm proud of. But by the time the 6th and 7th installments were out, I was pretty tired of all the Quidditch and 'He-who-must-not-be-named routine' and I was totally into American Pie. :D

Anyways, going by the way the Lord Of The Rings was filmed, you would expect a decent line-up and a good director at the helm to do justice to the book's values. But NO, all you get is Chris Columbus and some lame-ass kid who looks like Harry Potter, but has the acting skills of a troll on dope. Daniel Radcliffe is so not Hollywood material..! Seriously, he makes Ashton Kutcher look like Al Pacino. And anybody who's atleast seen the trailer of 'Dude, Where's My Car!' will know what I mean.

Radcliffe is just one of these guys the chicks dig, just because he's the kind of loser guy every girl wants for a boyfriend, because they can always take the upper-hand in relationship issues. Girls love trying to dominate men, and thats not gonna happen in most cases. Thats why you don't see girls going gaa-gaa over Tyler Durden and Steve Stifler (!). And thats why you see more and more of these dude-guys-who-can't act-to-save their lives category.

There's Daniel Radcliffe (HP), Orlando Bloom (the Hollywood Abbas), Abbas (ya, that dude in all those side roles), Zac Efron (High School Musical...Ezzhh), Tom Cruise (seriously, the guy can't act) and Ashton Kutcher (he married Demi Moore!).

I see more and more of these guys cuz my sister pollutes the sanctity of my household by watching Disney Channel 24*7, and thats where all these fellows originate from. With shows like Hannah Montana and High School Musical, any self-respecting Government should ban such channels in their country. Or atleast create employment opportunities because jobless souls like me are lured by sheer boredom to watch the ongoing crap out there.

Makes me wonder if Hollywood is the same film industry that bred actors like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Edward Norton, Russell Crowe and the rest. I guess a lot of unnamed potru gethu actors are still pending from my list, but you know there are, so free... for now the pluses seem to outweigh the minuses anyway.

This post has nothing to do with the fact that Daniel Radcliffe is English. Also nothing to do with the fact that except for Gary Oldman, some random scientists and Sid Vicious, I hate their whole race altogether. Bleddy Worst Mokka Fellows.

And I haven't done any Anish-bashing for this post yet. Well the fact that we spent two whole years creating Ultimate Harry Potter quizzes ought to qualify for that slot. And the fact that he read Order Of The Phoenix seven times just to figure out some minor detail I must have missed so that he could cleverly outsmart the reigning champion(me!) to win the title ought to fill that slot too. He never found out any question I didn't have an answer to. And that doesn't make me look too good either :p.

Ezhh.. Worsst... Free :D

Gaerls And The B-Word


You would think, with all the evolution of species thats gone by, girls(or gaerls, as Jaggenius puts it) would have invented some new words to verbally assault each other. But NO, its still the same old standby for their lot... the dreaded B-word. From the time I started noticing some jinguchaan dress-wearing long haired people around me called Girls(back in Class VII, I guess), I've seen the prevelance of the ONLY swear word girls seem to know.


And they treat it like its the equivalent of Avada-Kedavra, giving it an over build-up and using it as a last resort..!!


I remember one time, back in my Class X, there were these two girls in love with the same guy(not ME!)(the previous bracket was for self-popularisingse), and they used to be at loggerheads all the time. I'm not gonna reveal their identities, even though nobody reads my blog(yedhuku vambu)... but I'll say this: we used to call the 1st one Scent Factory, cuz she used like, 10 perfumes All at Once. The 2nd girl was, more or less, the school's so-called gethu figaar. So once the 2nd girl tripped the 1st one on purpose while we were all heading to the assembly. The Scent Factory slipped, ottified some 'mann' in her non-existent 'meesai' and turned into a parody of Red Ross. She stared at the girl that tripped her and said "Bitch!"


There was a moment of horrified silence among the girls, when everybody went "#$%$!!" and covered their mouths in terror.


The last time I had seen guys get stunned like that was when I and Vman caught Anees watching 'Kolangal' with his mom. :))


Ever since I've heard a lot of girl-isms like:


"She's such a Bitch!"


"Oh my God, he must think I'm a Bitch!"


and all that crap.


Guys have no problem though, they are born with an in-built dictionary of swear words. They swear about everything and anything, I was swept off my feet when I heard a pal of mine wish another on his birthday saying: "O**a! Happy Bday da..!"


Guys swear when their bike doesn't start, when India loses the match, when their dinner goes cold, when the Pizza is late, when the traffic signal turns red, when they have to do work, when they end up doing it late, when the work ultimately goes awry, so that means, pretty much everytime. The beauty is, they assault each other verbally, calling each other the names of the body parts they are both aware that they don't possess. Such is the irony of life. Any girl(gaerl) who comes upon two guys shouting at each other will notice atleast 10 of her body parts being mentioned randomly.


There are exceptions, though. There are these Dude-guys who predominantly hang out with gaerls, and also use the B-word. They also use other girl-isms like 'Ya', 'Da'(that sounds like duh),'Yaar', 'Ma', 'Na' etc.


Makes me wish Goundamani would appear on the spot, punch him on the mouth and say "Dei Naaye, Naaye, Naaye! Yaarraa Nee!"


And there are instances guys are nicknamed with the B-word too. This has nothing to do with Anees or Vman. :p


And there is this one time, a gaerl in my class grew so mad at a guy, she yelled "Poda B**du!"


Totally different story. :)
