People might have heard about "block" in the heart, I have something called "blog" in my head.
After I started writing blogs, everything I see , everything I read I am trying to create blog out of it.
Is this a syndrome that every blog writer faces ? Every time I travel in train , every time I am alone at home, walk alone, sitting inside the loo , I think about writing about something .
Hope it subsides as time flies by :)

Is this Independence ??
Happened to read the latest article in NewYorkTimes
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/23/world/asia/23india.html?_r=1&oref=slogin .
The article talks about new found Independence in Indian Women because of Career opportunity.
Its a wonderful article to tell it to the west that Indian women are no longer conservative. In fact west already know it based on their experiences like Indra Nooyi being CEO of Pepsi. Women empowerment is way ahead in US compared to India, We are slowly catching up. At least in Urban India women are more Independent, bold and powerful compared to villages.
I find lots of managers here in client side who are women and doing a wonderful job. Its very large in number compared to number of managers in India. The new found independence as discussed in that article will at least help in bridging the gap.
Having said that, at the end of the article one girl has told the author that she is living freely in Bangalore. Here, her boyfriend can come and go without anyone asking questions. That's what is Independence projected by the west. Does it apply to our culture our tradition? Good question.
The Girl at the end confesses that she broke away from family and married her boyfriend. This is what is called Independence by the west. Proof that we are getting westernized in every sector and soon there is going to be no difference between us and US .
Where are we going ?

AnotherTerribleMovie (ATM)
Saw Vijay's AzhagiyaTamilMagan(ATM) Yesterday . The most hyped Diwali release.
The movie starts with Illaya,Iniya,Idhaya Thalapathy DR.Vijay nadikum... In this movie Vijay has become brand ambassdor of another forgotten sport. Running race :) Heard he is going to endorse goligundu, gilli thanda, pattam viduthal in his forthcoming movies .
Intro song over..Next fight. After that mokkai by Santhanam in the name of comedy (Hard to see Santhanam act with Vijay after making so much fun of him in Lollu sabha.. After all its his career making decision) . Santhanam is slowly becoming a repetitive material ..Best of luck Santhanam, try something different.
Vijay has tried a different formula in this movie rather than his usual remake stuff. Great. Kudos to him. But the director was unable to Carry forward a nice theme. Vijay has ExtraSensitivePerception(ESP). He foresees death of his neighbour little girl. Tries to save her but in vain. Then foresees the death of his father , somehow saves him. Then foresees his lady love getting stabbed by him . Confused by it he runs away from his lady love.
Lady love played by "Shivaji" fame Shreya. She has tried to act , nice attempt.
Vijay lands up in Mumbai where he sees his villain .Another vijay. After fight,dance,fight,comedy, song,fight how good vijay unites with Shreya is the story.
Though the movie is different from a usual vijay movie. It lacks the flow. You tend to look at your watch many times throughout the movie .
There is one visible flaw in the movie, when one guy invites Vijay by telling his name and ends up asking him who are you ?
Positives

Positives
- Something different from Vijay
- Songs
Negatives
- Screenplay,direction
- Hard to differentiate b/w villain and Hero (both look wise, acting wise )
- Comedy
- BGM (ARR in Shivaji hangover)
Overall ATM is AnotherTerribleMovie :)
