2005 came 15 days back and the year end frenzy of 2004 due to Tsunami took some gloss off the year 2004. So how was 2004?
At the beginning of the year, Steve Waugh said good bye to cricket and the red hand kerchief would never be seen again. Janet Jackson said goodbye to well functioning wardrobes and decided to open the gates to her nipples.

ABC Nightline is doing a story on Bollywood tonight(Friday, Jan 14th) at 11:35pm EST ( what a time half of America would be drunk and drowsy). The show features interviews by Hrithik Roshan, Priety Zinta and of course, Aishwarya Rai. Aishwarya Rai is doing her best to share the bed with Bond but she has miles to go before she can sleep.
It would be poetic justice Sudarshanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04933739074875190113noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215341.post-1105656586953064642005-01-13T14:49:00.000-08:002005-01-13T14:49:46.953-08:00Separatist Agenda...
Sometimes it is better to divide and conquer. As many will tell you, keep your public and private life seperate. Keep your checking and savings seperate. Keep the cotton and fire seperate :-). So, here it goes, no more sports posting on this blog... I am spinning off my own sports blog.... -All Day I Dream About Sports...

I have lived in Chennai all throughout my life. We were not great travellers as a family mainly due to my mom's great and stationary job at Chennai. For the first 20 years of my life, I have never crossed Hyderabad in the Northern direction. For many chennaites, Hyderbad was like North India.

In any disaster, truth is really the first casualty. People somehow use these tragedies to build up stories and earn brownie points. Read below for one such story from Amit Varma, who is maintaining an immaculate blog with his dispatches from ground zero....

Finally, I saw Swades last night. A movie that depicted reality sans the frills of Bollywood. A very idealistic movie. It was quite a long narration and this might probably work against the movie when it comes to mass appeal. As many of you had read numerous reviews, let me also give my take..
The movie is clearly inspired or I should say the screen version of "Bilgaon Sudarshanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04933739074875190113noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215341.post-1103916793421201302004-12-24T11:33:00.000-08:002004-12-24T11:33:13.420-08:00The Smiles say it all....

The Art of writing is something difficult to master. It gives you the freedom of expression- a freedom to express your thoughts, convince people and sometimes even conquer the world. One such journalist is Dilip D Souza. He blogs at Death ends fun and his langauge/choice of words recreate reality right in front of your eyes....
