36 days since I touched my cam, almost a photography break! Thanks to internal painting of the walls at my home, I opened the aperture wide and used the natural sunlight; still unable to grip the camera properly :)
Being jobless is sometimez a good break in life provided you have a good cable connection ( like the 3-month old DishTV @ my place ) and tons of movies, music and sports to watch throughout the day, in short an excellent chance to be an honest couch-potato. A few days back, I stumbled upon this movie on ZeeMGM called One, Two, Three . Being a Monday morning, I initially thought this movie would put me 2 sleep again, and switched to HBO which was showing " The Matrix ". On 2nd thoughts, I told myself enough of the red & blue pills and rabbit holes (no disrespect to Matrix fans) , letz chekout One, Two, Three . Thoughts proved lucky for once, this is easily one of the most hilarious comedies I've ever seen, no doubt it was nominated for four awards in 1962, including the Laurel Awards " Top Comedy ", thanks to James_Cagney 300kmph dialogue delivery, so smooth and crystal clear that even a Britisher could understand.

Believe it or not, a 3-foot long baby snake entered our garden yesterday (27th Jan ' 2007) during noon when I went to pluck some hibiscus. I froze for 10 seconds not knowing what to do. I am lucky to be alive because I saw it first from its back. My instant reaction from then on was RUN............. I went back and wanted to create a commotion by informing my parents, sister, bro-in-law and the newborn nephew. Then I realized this was the best chance to become famous. Headed upstairs and took out my sister's Canon A540 and reached down very carefully without making any noise. But, by that time, everyone felt something fishy was happening. I couldn't resist and told them the news of a snake in the garden. And then BOOOOOOOOM! The 3W's and 1 H came out from everyone's mouth (Where, When, Whaaaaat, HOW). I shall describe the next events a little later....in the meanwhile take a look at the pics! http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogun23/sets/72157594504044284/detail/
Finally, the Prarthana drive-in OAT has decided to screen a non-local dialect movie. And what a way 2 begin, Lage Raho Munnabhai , the biggest blockbuster of 2006. Not sure what lightning struck them did they decide to screen a Hindi movie, was it finance problems or did they stumble upon my previous blog on this OAT ? Whatever it maybe, I'm pleased 2 hear this news & pray this is not a one-off case scenario, although I'm pretty sure this could be a trial run to figure out the returns and other financial gains if they intend to screen English/Hindi blockbusters on the same day as the multiplexes. lage raho Prarthana.......cheers! Update : as xpected, the movie ran only for a week and I managed to see it in nic of time yestday. From today (18/10/06), Thimiru being screened.
