Yay!

Nice to wake up to the news of the Tata's buying the Corus, the Anglo-Dutch steel maker. This makes the Tata's the 5th biggest Steel makers in the world.Yesterday, it was Shilpa winning the 'British' Big Brother with absolute determination and dignity.Yes, a good month for India, and Indians!

My favourite movies of the 2006

The Departed
Lage Raho Munnabhai
Rang De Basanti
Omkara
Casino Royale

I think The Departed should win the oscar.

one more thing, an iPhone!

The first thing I did today was open the Apple.com and see what Steve Jobs unveiled. And finally we have the iPhone. What an amazing device. I mean I always had an idea of what a phone from Apple would be, but this just blows your mind. It's so cool, and the way Steve presented it, just make you drool. I must have it! Sadly it will take a while. It's marvelous and so beautiful. State of the art, and yet simple. One wonders why it took so long.

Cheers!

Yahoo! Mail Beta's Liam

If you are using Yahoo! Mail Beta, then you know the Liam I am talking about. The guy is really cool. His antics are so funny, especially the latest one where he is chased by an ostrich.

Babel & Hotel Rwanda

Ah.. What a weekend. When I have nothing to do, I normally watch movies. And watch all kinds. Hmm except maybe Hindi b-grade masala skin flicks. Watching them is a torture. Anyways, I must say most of the movies I watch are generally recommended b y friends. Also I must say, I generally go by the reviews. Once in a while I do experiment. So this weekend I saw a couple. The first one was Babel. Recommended by a friend who has an interesting choice of movies. Since it was playing in a theatre nearby, I went and saw it, that too alone. Not many of my friends prefer a movie like Babel. Infact many declined to accompany me. But that’s ok. So I went alone. I think it was a good movie. Somewhat similar to Crash. Brad Pitt was amazing, so were most of the cast. I guess the point the director wanted to make got across to me. No matter how many mediums of communications we have, it’s emotions more than words that communicate or mis-communicate rather. Then on Sunday I decided to watch Hotel Rwanda. And it made me cry. I wish I could say that it was a good movie, but frankly I wish we never had to make that movie. I wish I could just not acknowledge that some thing like that could happen during my times. Sometimes, it's such a shame to be a human being. And when I read news even today, these things continue to happen. Humans are capable of so much cruelty, capable of transforming into monsters.
I really admire you, Paul Rusesabagina!
Bloggers, if you haven't watched the movie, I recommend you do. We need to atleast experience the terror of a massacre, luckily through a television while sitting in a couch.
