Little Black Book

It always intrigued me to see some people who are extremely angelic…wudn't exactly say angelic but it makes u think that they haven't done the kind of crap that u've done in ur life…. But the other day, riding around with a friend, I realized no one is an angel and that's y angels r in heaven and we on earth!!!! Its very interesting to note that every1 has a secret black book….and they try really hard to keep it closed…but fate has it that black books' aren't meant to remain closed….

Alter Ego

I guess every1 has an alter ego…a second personality…something that we try hard sometimes to get rid off but sometimes becomes the real us…. In some ways an alter ego gives us that much needed "break" from ourselves… We promise ourselves that we don't like the alter ego and sometimes even deny that it's a part of us….but in reality that's not the truth…. Its just another way to get what we really need….. These were exactly my thots as I watched "Mr. Brooks"… a pretty good take on jackal & hyde I'd say…

Live Free or Die Hard

watching die hard 4.0, cudnt come up with anythng better than loads of bullets, damage, over-the-head hacker stuff....jst somethng u cud kill time wtchng...definitely flawed.... but i guess this sums it up better

"His body withstands far more abuse than it did in Die Hard, yet none of the scrapes and bruises he sustains are as wince-inducing as the image of his younger self in the first film, padding across broken glass with bare feet. He was human back in 1988; now he's the Terminator." - rottentomatoes

Orkut.com 'being used for immoral activities'

how long is this moral policing going to go on here...its really crappy to kno that people have asked for orkut to be banned....come on if u cant stop urself frm going on the "immoral" groups then no one is gng to help u do it.... it all comes down to a personal thing about doing somthng or not... ther r loads of social networking sites out ther nowadays...if u dont wnt to b a member of the site stay away...its not like every1 alive is automatically a member...staying on the same topic....y the hell is flickr blocked....yahoo photos has closed now and is officially flickr...its the best site to share photos online...i guess even there r stuff that is not good for the culture, moral of the people!!! people feel terrible about the whole stuff...get a life...

Pursuit of Happyness - Review

i've been tryng to get a hold of this movie and wtchd it ystrday...i must say its a must see movie....the hardships that the character chris gardner goes thru to support his kid and survive is truely moving. and it does make you feel that nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it...

Abu Dhabi announces new festival

Is this a sign of healthy competition or jst another rivalry?? its always been amusing how Dubai has made it on the tourism map and not UAE...tho UAE consists of seven emirates its only Dubai, which is not the capital but the business hub, which makes it on the news.... it mite seem interesting that there has always been some rivalry between the two emirates and now this report in variety.com has been something of a confirmation.. not only r they competing on grounds of film festival and theme parks...but also on the real estate front... "Dubai may generate the ink, but Abu Dhabi has the oil".hope this is for the betterment of the whole country and not jst an emirate...

Burj Al-Taqa

A very ambitious effort by a German architect to build an Energy tower or Burj al-Taqa as it will be known in Dubai.... this skyscraper will produce 100% of its own power!!! this is supposed to b one of the many megalomaniac projects gng on in dubai.... its very intrstng to read how solar power will b used to power the building. the airconditioning system will b similar to the ancient wind towers that can still b seen along the creek in dubai....

intresting....

how can a story based jst on two individuals...and i mean jst two individuals and nthng more...be such a great acclaim. i'm not talkng abt some high voltage action flick, or a heart warming real life story, neither is it a romantic movie with sex....but this one is so realistic and extends in real time so naturally that it keeps u glued to the screen and not wanting the whole thing to end....after watching 'Before Sunset' for the 2nd time that's exactly what i felt. a great love story with minimal physical contact and sex....a must see....5/5

300 Review

Watched 300 ystrday with a friend... and I must say what a movie!!! Its a total adrenaline rush.... the movie portrays the courage of the spartans in the face of impossible odds. it was not jst blood and gore all the way but had all the elements you wud luk for in a movie... the account of the battle of thermopylae is the battle depicted in the movie. though it is not an accurate version of history...it was based on frank millers graphic novel 300.. i wondered y the number 300... according to history that was the number of spartans who stood against the persian god-king xerxes... its a must watch...i wud rate it 4/5....

The Blasphemy Challenge

dunno how many of u came across this article....its titled "The Blasphemy Challenge" and its in abcnews.com...nyways...it tlks abt a guy who has strtd an internet radio show abt God....not exactly tho...he wants to find a way to allow atheists to freely express their views.....and wht they're doing is challenging ppl to make videos of themselves denouncing or blaspheming the Holy Spirit...gosh can it get any more senseless than this....but the most intrstng part of it is tht "he was raised catholic and became a born-again Christian...." he says "I loved Jesus and he was my best friend and I talked to him and God all the time. I have to admit that they never talked back to me....." guess some folks do feel tht way smtimes in their christian faith....i think this is 1 guy's way of dealing with it....he's given an open challenge to present evidence of a christians faith.....

MMORPG LIVE!!!!

gosh wht's hpng with ppl these days...this was not the first time its hpnd but it certainly is bizaare...a lineage 2(a strategy game) player beat to death a fellow player after an online game...he killed the guy who tried to stop him from killing his online nemesis....where do u draw the line between real life and simulations?? been a gamer for sometime now and yes it does get to u sometimes whn u feel like going around corners & takng out lights like sam fisher...but hey not take a gun and kill another guy...this is crazy....get a life.....

Apple - iPhone

guess i'm the lst one on the planet to chk out the new iphone...but its awesome...its got some really neat features and luks gr8 too.... the short demos on the homepage shows its nifty features. i guess the only feature tht's gonna determine its popularity is the touch screen....since u use ur fingers to operate it and not a stylus like most pda's .... but i still feel it'll b gud competitor to present day pda's...the accelerometer is the one tht caught my attention....it automaticallly detects whn u rotate the phone and changes the content of the display...also ther is a sensor tht detects whn u lift the iphone to your ear and immediately turns off the display.....isnt tht cool....
