Feel good time

Haven't felt this good about myself in a long time. Thanks. I know it comes with a lot of responsibilites and high expectations which I hope to match to.

Time to hunt for that dhoni poster I had! ;)

    • 42.6
      J Oram to MS Dhoni
      4
      FOUR! Oh my god! Oram is looking clueless here. On middle again, this time Dhoni gets it away behind square for the fifth boundary of the over! 21 runs from the over and the last five deliveries have all gone to the fence! Three of them to the square leg boundary in succession!
    • 42.5
      J Oram to MS Dhoni
      4
      FOUR! Unbelievable! Another one! Slower delivery, short again, Dhoni goes for placement this time and turns it away towards exactly the same area where the previous boundary went!
    • 42.4
      J Oram to MS Dhoni
      4
      FOUR! Hat-trick of boundaries! Oram drops it short and Dhoni pulls it behind square on the leg side! 50 for the Indian skipper!
    • 42.3
      J Oram to MS Dhoni
      4
      FOUR! And there comes the half-helicopter shot! In case you want the description, here it is. Full outside off, not a bad ball at all, Dhoni stands, somehow gets underneath it and swings it through long-off!
    • 42.2
      J Oram to MS Dhoni
      4
      FOUR! And there he goes! Full on middle, Dhoni swings and gets it behind square on the leg side for a boundary!
    • 42.1
      J Oram to S Raina
      1
      Slower bouncer outside off, pulled away to midwicket for a single.

Post-payanam

Dear radhamohan sir,

Can I please please work under you for a week ? Okay maybe that is a long shot, can I just watch u work for a week? I dont think I would be able to give an unbiassed review for your movie cause I am so in love with the way your bring out ur characters and make sure they reach your audience (and camp in their hearts till ur next movie releases). What surprises me time and again is ur accuracy. You know the EXACT amount of senti dialogues, humor and seriousness that audience can tolerate. I am totally for your idea on "when you say what you want to say politely and in a not-so-serious tone, people perceive it better". It reflects on your maturity and how wise you are *applauds* and *bows*. I cant vouch that your movies will change lives, but I can definately say that the message meant to be delivered has been delivered, very smoothly. Whether or not taken thats a different question. Well, if we go down that lane, which revolutionary tamil movie has ever changed anything at all?

We watch, we admire, we forget. I am kind of diverging way too much here.

Anyway, make more movies! please.

Sincerely,
A fan who would salute at you if she bumps into you at a traffic light.

Why I miss NUS

There is a moment of pure joy
That seems to cut out troubles in half
And we forget all burdens
And that is when we laugh

When its reading week
Surrounded by my fellow-muggers
The frequent tea breaks we took
Only to know who are the new lovers

When I stay up late with my clowns
And our silliness is high
Laughing so hard till our stomachs ache
And we really want to cry

When my lovable CSK won it big
We looked at each other in disbelief
But we start to smile and giggle
Out of pure bliss and relief

Oh the baking we thought we knew
And the oven is all aglow
And we start to laugh at our process
It’s way better than any cooking show

When the song comes on the radio
And I remember a memory behind it
And I can’t help but to laugh out loud
And for me to calm my smile, it takes a bit

When I’m lying in that tennis court
Watching the stars above
And my closest friends by me
And I can feel all bliss and love.
