The Dark Knight- To Heath Ledger.


Batman has come a long way since 1932, when Bob Kane and Bill Finger co-created him. Its 2009 and Jonathan Nolan version of Batman simply stands out of the lot. I just returned from my second show of "The Dark Knight" and am still mesmerized by Heath Ledger's performance as "The Joker".
Having fought crime at Gotham city for long Batman, with Lt. James Gordon played Gary Oldman, manage to beat the criminals and hammer them to silence. With Harvey Dent, the district attorney played by Aaron Eckhart teaming up with them, the formidable force work towards overthrowing the mafia and cleaning the streets of Gotham city. This is when the Joker walks into the scene playing a role in turning the table entirely against the trio. Batman sees a mask less successor in Harvey Dent. Gotham city sees a masked hero in Batman. The movie is a true entertainer in all aspects, from screen play , plot, graphics, character portrayal. .....Bound by rules and being incorruptible the contrast between Bruce Wayne and Batman has been remarkable portrayed by Christain Bale. The dialogues in this movie need a special mention. The movie spots special attention towards defining the characters of every individual performer clearly, backed by powerful dialogues.
Have been following Batman since Michael Keaton days when Jack Nicholson played The Joker. Never has the character been played with so much aplomb as much as in the current movie. Heath Ledger stands out with his unique portrayal and mannerisms. The performance is worth an Oscar. I would'n wanna mention more about the movie it self , but this is by far the best of the Batman I have seen. The "Dark Knight" is the most powerful portrayal of Batman.

Batman begins was easily the best, DC comics had to offer to us. Considering its success, its hard to recreate the next movie of the series, if not to surpass but to parallel its success. But this version surpass all expectations. Its dark, gritty ,intense and fun at the same time.

Snow!!! n no where to go!!!!




It looks like the end of the world here,
I really do know, how dooms day would feel like now.
I miss, the lady of my life,
And the situation,
Is adding to the misery in my life.
Events are freezing,
With the snow breezing,
I really do know, how dooms day would feel like now.


Peace creating melancholy,
Darkness creating gloom.
With white in a dark background.
I really do know, how dooms day would feel like now.


Nature delivering a subtle message,
Creatures dwelling in a warm passage.
The bizarre evening, without a sound,
Darkness scattered on the ground.
I really do know, how dooms day would feel like now.


Thoughts moving fast,
Feeling a little lost.
She is not around,
Yet, life goes on without a sound.
I really do know, how dooms day would feel like now.

OOPs!!!! m Brain DEAD! My brain's Drained!!!!




My friend and I , decided to randomly look for pics (read chicks), on orkut.... (and i must quote "we were not diggin in for chics, what we were trying to find out , is to see the number of ppl posin in front of the "BIG BULL" , "NIAGRA", "GOLDEN GATE".... or in general, the general American Scenic!!!!!! And to be honest, the number of such hits were astounding....,, it got me thinking about BRAIN DRAIN..... I have to admit, "M a horse in the race toooo".... Its a virtual, Brand building for the American tourism industry...... with students oozing out of every available university... there seems to be a certain oomph!!! in posing in front of such picturesque, and with the women here!!!!

This is not intended against the general desi public here!! cause m one in the bunch.. oops!! heap... so far i have pics, with my torso placed in front of , Niagra... , Golden Gate bridge..., Pittsburg...., Brandy wine Falls...... and lots of other pictures worth pasting on a social networking site!!!! Of course, this is not against the idea of using a networkin site... check the albums out sometimes.... These days there seems to be a lock on the pictures, but, i managed to find plenty any way!!!! try ur luck on.. i managed to kill a lot of time!!!!..

A crack At the BAck!!! What the %@#$!!!

It is true that, the Grey cells of an average human brain cannot comprehend all of what it sees!!!!! In this case, I am truly average, and my less than average discrete grey cells, cannot seem to decipher the whole logic of, walloping a persons spine on their Birth Day.... (Keep in mind, "they are only getting older") Called birthday, BUms or is it Bumps!!!!!!!!!
And besides, over the years, the birthday celebrations have only intensified... the new rule , is that you actually plan for the birthday in advance (so much for being proactive!!).... This brings a whole new meaning to the term latent usage... "for stale food stuff".... This is probably the only week in the year , when virtually nothin at home, n i mean NOTHING, hits the trash can!! (Wonder where all that goes)I guess u could figure that out!!!!!!

It turned out to be a little like, the war against the Nazi... But only in this case Hitler is not allowed to retaliate... and this is a total "Blitzkrieg"!!! I never understood that term , while it was taught to me in school.. , but having seen my rommie, experience it... understanding "Blitzkrieg" is not a problem , ne more..

Being cornered and cocooned, by a handful of his best buddies, (Including me!!), he so gracefully accepted the offerings , without retreat... And guess what? By principle we put on new clothing, while celebrating our birthday. That does not hold good any more!!!!!!!!! All you need to buy, is a heap of shampoo sachets, a wire brush to scrub the stains of celebration, detergent!! and no more bath soap.... and tonnes of room fresheners..
I sat back and reflected on this in, the pungent odor , which was the aftermath of the celebration... The more and more i thought about it... I realized that, what I once considered to be an average brain of mine.. was actually Brain dead... It could not comprehend the essence of a birthday celebration......!!!!!!!!

I don't think anymore..... I follow the tide.....






Pic: Courtesy: My fellow rommie, who so gracefully walked out of the massacre.. with a can of Hershey's Chocolate sauce in his hand!!! I guess he dropped some of the sauce on himself, his clothes look stained!!!!

Million dollar smile...


A smile... so innocent... wonderin where i found it???
Asoga, a small village in Belagum district, well known for the song ' nadiya kinare' of movie Abhiman being shot there.
River Mallaprabha flowing by and the rich soil has let the fields be green with paddy...
When i had been there with daddy... i prefered staying out than joing him in his colleague's house.
Cocks and hens around, buffaloes grazing, men on cycle with cut grass, women washing clothes, kids playing around in midst of rich green paddy fields...
I must thank myself for carrying the cam... else wouldn have been able to capture these moment...
This kid here posing for a photo rushed home and got his new shirt ('new shirt' to kids in other city and town would be the one bought just then from the shop, one which isnt washed even once...) held it on him and was ready...
I asked him to better wear it... and duh...! see the way he has worn it... but that goes unnoticed, for he is so happy!!!!
He also called his friends and just was there standing ready to hear the click... His smile so innocent.. free of all the worldly affairs... unbothered of studies, and wats stored in future...
His innocent smile worth millon dollars... i bet cant find such anywhere else...
