My love!

In my search for never ending entertainment on the net, I chanced upon a website that said that it would generate a love poem for me, if I just filled in a few questions. In the hope and belief that Maybe this might be the key to finding my true love :P I attempted it. Apparently I made some mistakes with filling up the form, because my poem, has turned out to be, umm...... quite unique..., to put it mildly. :D

have a look!

My Love

Your skin glows like the jackfruit, blossoms sexy as the sunflower in the purest hope of spring.
My heart follows your electric guitar voice and leaps like a baboon at the whisper of your name.
The evening floats in on a great crow wing.
I am comforted by your speedo that I carry into the twilight of printerbeams and hold next to my middle finger.
I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of vodka.
As my nose falls from my brief, it reminds me of your cat.
In the quiet, I listen for the last roar of the day.
My heated belly leaps to my bikini. I wait in the moonlight for your secret rat so that we may glitter as one, belly to belly, in search of the magnificient orange and mystical speaker of love.

Try it out yourself HERE , hopefully with better results!

F1 is back and in what a way!

Brawn flexes Brawn!

Kubika Kamikaze!

Trulli truly Lucky Bugger!
Hamilton and Glock too!

Slumdog millionaire Brawn GP!

These are some of the lines that ran thro my mind. And I'm sure lots more will be running thro everyone else's too! Seriously so much action in one race! Formula one seems to be returning to its nature of biting climaxes ever since the 2008 season!

The weekend starts with Jenson Button clinching pole and then ends with him winning the race. As for the front of the race, that is all there is to be said. He had a great race and won it fair and square. But behind him there was a flurry of activity that would make any marketplace envious of! A lot of wheel to wheel racing, daring overtaking manouvres, lots of grazing and nose panel breaking! Lots of crashing in fact at one point it looked more like the drivers were playing bumper cars. I do believe at least 5 cars changed their nose cones during the course of the race! Around 5 cars damaged their wheels and had them replaced. 2 cars at various points were actually mobile on just 3 wheels! And we even had a mini race which started at the start of the start-finish straight and ended at the chequered flag. Seriously! And we had Kubica who is from Poland but has been trained in the art of Kamikaze driving (Japanese instructor maybe??). But I have to say he has balls! To try such a move and it is drivers like these that will create history with unparalled driving which will either end up as stunning moments of history or utter stupidity, like in this case. But I tell you, this guy has to be watched. He is going to make racing far more interesting to watch. And so will Vettel! Really poor luck chap!

The fact that the top teams of last year, namely Ferrari and Mclaren failed to make a mark seems to have been overshadowed by the rise of all the minnows. Braun, RBR Renault, Sauber, Toyota have all risen into the top league and they clearly raced better than the Crippled Horses or the Broken Arrows (1 Arrow broke actually). Maybe these guys had a bad day out, but from what I've seen, they aren’t going to have it easy either. We saw last year, what one Sebastian Vettel could do and we saw today what 2 Brawns can do. And you know what? Mercedes has got a great engine setup too! We saw it in the Brawn cars, guess maybe Mclaren should pay a visit to those guys see what they've come up with.

Fisichella forgot his parking spot and spent precious moments in reversing with the help of pit lane attendants! Force India continues to be a farce though Sutil scored a 10th place today.

And yes, for all those greenies out there, F1 cars are green now! We saw KERS in action, Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems and the extra boost it can give during overtaking and stuff. 80bhp is pretty cool! But I have to day the cars look kinda weird with the small rear wing!

Well anyways, clearly F1 2009 is going to have a lot of crash bang whams happening so buckle you seatbelt get your airbags and get ready to roll with the circus!

Latest news: Brawn GP bagged a deal yesterday with Richard Branson of the Virgin Atlantic group. This guy is like the Vijay Mallya of the UK and trust me this means loads of more glamour in F1!

A vampire love story? Really??

These were my reactions when I first heard about the book. I wasn't really impressed, Plus I wasn't really into romance novels. But then another friend of mine happened to read the book. Fact was, He wasn’t much of a reader and when He told me the book was good and that the movie of the book was out recently, I had to go try it out. And the result, well I'm not flabbergasted or entirely thrilled or anything. But hey the book was good, and I shall read the sequels as well. I should quote one friend who said that the book according to her was better than Erich Segal's love story. I've never read that book and don't really intend to either. This statement was just for those who have read it to make a judgement.

It's a modern day love story where a girl exiles herself from the big city to a godforsaken town. Here she happens to meet an exceedingly handsome guy from a family of exceedingly beautiful and handsome people and falls in love with that guy. The guy reacts strangely towards her like he was revolted or afraid of her. But the incidents that happen later on bring them closer and soon she understands the reasons behind his initial reactions as they decide to break all traditions and embark upon a human-vampire relationship. (One of them one of us. – Sounds familiar? I snicked it from heroes. :P) Having seen all the eloquent prose and poetry that describes love, strangely I didn't find this all that overwhelming. The words and language used were simple and somehow I didn’t really get all the emotions being described here as I should have. The inability of the couple to be intimate due to his nature and instinctual capabilities which could harm her was just not really explained well I felt.

Pretty dramatic towards the end, some how I felt the book didn't really keep me turning the pages as fast as I could really do. Maybe the more romantic at heart might disagree. Hmm so maybe I'm not romantic at heart. Sounds probable. Back to the book, a pretty good book; I've downloaded the film though, hoping it maybe might express better, what I felt was lacking in those words.

But then, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I expected it to be a dramatic, cheesy weird love story and instead I got a good simple and elegant modern tale.

Thousand Splendid suns - Khaled Hosseini

It's a tale based in Afghanistan. It starts off in the 1970's telling the tale of one Mariam and goes on where after around 2 decades the story of a young girl Laila intervenes into Mariam's. the rest of the story goes on about how their life goes on amidst the turmoil around them.

It gives one a really good perspective into life in Afghanistan back then and even now. The way people are treated, women are treated, how people survive. I've always found the subject of life in the past interesting, so the vivid descriptions of the Afghani elite who followed a nearly American way of life, from cars, music and the comparisons to the much poorer kept me enthusiastic. But then if you want that more, you really should be reading the kite runner. Cos it's got a lot more adventure that you could relate to in certain ways, Specially me being a male.

It's not exactly a gripping tale but it will keep you immersed. Specially if you haven't read Khaled Hosseini's other book. For people who have read the kite runner, specially me, I found this book a little boring in bits and pieces. It does not come close to The Kite Runner in any way, I felt. But else it really is an impressive book. Worth a read for sure!

Binge Reading!

I made a trip to Chennai recently and that trip entailed my presence at Spencer's Plaza numerous times. During those visits, I paid visit to Landmark and purchased several books!. 9 to be exact. Now now, I should quote, by Landmark, I don't mean the bookstore located in side, but the one outside. Chennai'ites might wonder where that landmark might be! Well it's at the traffic light. :D

yeah well anyways, I got quite a few books and have been on a binge reading session. over the next few days i shall write about the ones i've read! Hope it makes interesting reading for you!
