A few feel good factors for the week !!

This week was ofcourse the routine one interms of the daily workouts, daily rushings to workplace, daily office assignments, usual once in a week night show, and the other usual stuffs, but for being a week that encapsulated a few memorable happenings. Rather memorable events.

1. To start with, me being an ardent fan of Vaigai Puyal Vadiveli, was a bit upset on seeing his contribution in his latest movie "Thimiru", and ofcourse was expecting from him a movie of the likes of WINNER.

Between that, it was a loooooong time that me and my roomie Giri went for a movie together (say 15 days - ha haa haaa), and hence we decided to go for a movie this week.

We ended up in getting ourselves with tickets for Yempten Magan (Now "Yem magan") at AVM theatre. A decent theatre, a pretty decent crowd, and a decent movie. Was so happy that the entire crowd (house full) stood at its feet in no time, and maintained pin drop silence when our National Anthem was played before the movie started.

This time Vadivelu just rocked. I felt it was a masterpiece worth lauding after his stupendous performance in WINNER. Especially his confrontations with Nasser were just stomach tickling. Not just that, this movie showcases his talent as an actor apart from his usual tag as a comedian. Kudos to "Metti Oli" pugazh Thirumurugan for his successful venture into the big screen.

2. Surya weds Jyothika - NDTV screened a few captures from the wedding videos. Gautham Menon said "They had a wonderful chemistry while shooting Khaakka Khaakka. It was on the expected lines."

Yes. The aforesaid quote says it all. It was buzzing around for quite sometime from now. And they did pair up so very well. And most of all, quite a few people were happy for the couple for having got married. Might be attributed to the fact that both Surya and Jyothika were the darlings of the masses.

Wishes - Long live the couple.

3. Last to mention, but most important of all to me was the way in which the MASTER came back to action with a BANG !! How many times do we see this Man, rather this LAD, come out of the nagging injuries and a so called faltering form with a bang. And how many times do his critics do get back from him only through his batting skills. I wonder if he is the new comeback King.

141 from 148 balls and most importantly the innings included five boundaries that cleared the rope. This is the first instance after six years that Sachin has hit more than four sixes in a match. Some indications??!!

People have started talking about his retirement, but I could see and wish a minimum three solid years left in this Maestro. And that too my intuitions grew stronger after watching this particular innings of him. Whatsoever, whenever this gentleman arrives at the crease, the crowd erupts.. And the nation sings...

Welcome back, Mr. Sachin !

These were the three feel good factors, for the otherwise pretty ordinary week.

SHE IS A FANTASY !!

September 02, 2006. A new joinee to our flat in Kodambakkam. She joined the so far guys' fort, and became the first woman to be among bachelors in the history of 29, Mangalam Appartments... She was damn hot, cute and most of all very slim. We did have a tough time in terms of getting to know about her past history, and then finally allowing her to be with us.

Hey ! Just hold on... Am talking about my new take home - a laptop. Yup she's ACER TravelMate 2420. I have been for so long an ardent admirer of brand ACER, and me getting a laptop from them was on the expected lines, if not inevitable.

After a thorough brainstorming with regard to my need, my affordability at this point in time, my liking and my preference, I shortlisted to either of COMPAQ or ACER. We did enquire about the Lenovas, the Toshibas, the Dells, the SONY Vaios (too much, huh??!!), and even the Saharas. Also I had a temptation of waiting till someone known to me coming from the US, as the deals there were so very good. But could not resisit buying her immediately finally.

Appearence do matter! Cos that was one of the major demarking and deciding factors between COMPAQ and ACER. Was really stuck by the finishing involved with ACER, the color, the overall appearance, the slimness, the weightlessness and a certain features. She's gonna be mine was what I felt after seeing the ACER TravelMate 2420.

Not just that, but the kinda freebies offered for the price it was offered at made me feel it was a pretty decent deal. Now that she has become an integral part in me and my life, now that she has become a fourth member in our flat (including Giri's Advent), now that she has become my proud possession, and most importantly now that she has become my new companion, I could not resist saying "SHE IS A FANTASY !!"...
