Adventure

I watched first day last show of Telugu movie : "Parugu - In the name of Love". The movie was releasing in a famous theater [Renuka Prsaanna] of our nearby Galli.
The most challenging part was getting tickets for 3, that too in a legal way. As soon as the doors opened at 8:15, everyone [at least 300 of them] started running to the counter. Many jumped from the compound walls. Somehow I was among first 40 in the queue. What to say of those sandwiched moments in the queue; those 10 minutes felt like 10 hours :).
Now first things first, title Parugu means run :). The hero of the movie is Allu Arjun. Now shame on you if you do not know who he is. He is a distant relative [i am bad in remembering the relational links:( ] of mega star Chiranjeevi. I understood most of the movie thanks to 2 of my Telugu friends sitting on either side of me. My response to the movie was "typical" and should be a flop. But my Telugu friends had different opinions. They said it will run at least 4 weeks house full, in that Bangalore theater. And at least 100 days house full in Andra. He told me that I am so lucky to have watched the movie on first day. There will be riots in Andra for that. And people pay any amount to watch the movie by any means. One Pawan Kalyan movie ticket 1st day 1st show was sold for guess how much Rs. 40000, that too was a flop movie!! As he told me he himself pays Rs. 300 for a Rs. 60 ticket in black sometimes. So I do not dare contradict his prediction.

The year Ender trip to Varanasi in many ways was delightful, blissful. The city is vast and has many gems to admire. Not just in physical sense in also inner experience plane. Revered place as it is immensely liberating.

Friendship

This is one of the most joyous kind of relationship. There had been many quotations about friendship. The one that I remember most vividly is about between whom there can be friendship, it goes like this "friendship can exist between persons of same age-group and comparable in power." Personally for me greatest learning has been throgh friends and buddies. May it be knowing about ways of the world or having the fire to getting to the destined. I think that friends are the ones to whom you can relate to most after yourself. Arjun has been described as a friend of Krishna, in Mahabharata. There have been instances of friendships demonstrated and a lot has always been said about it since ages. All along we keep hearng, books are our best firends. One can keep dumping thoughts on a friend without any intention. May it be a trouble or a celebration you got to have friends to get through it or to enjoy it, respectively. It is quite rightly said that a person can be best analyzed t

Time, Timing & Making Things Happen

Effect of an action depends on its essentials and a great extent on its timings. Agreed there are absolute and unquestioned truths above & along the flow of time. Though that is not what we regard as time. As far as understanding of time goes there are uncountable human & environmental factors that make it almost impossible to reproduce a great phenomenon exactly same way again or at another place. It is said quite wisely, you always adapt, in a best possible way to any given situation. Folks who are successful are the ones who probably acted upon the best of the understanding of the given situation. There is no reason to believe the implied intension can not be carried out in a situation. Given the intentions do not have fundamental flaws, the environment to make them succeed can be induced. This truly should mean "making things happen" in a broader sense.
