End of Crane Poole and Schmidt!


Just came to know that Boston Legal is bowing out! Its a sad, sad day.

The last episode of boston legal will be aired on 8th December.

The 13-episode 5th season will make sure it crosses the 100-episodes mark.

It has been a one-of-kind experience and has been an amazing entertainer. Will really miss it!



Thanks to Lays who told me and many others about it. BL rocks!

Whose your daddy? - Denny Crane!

Song fixation - 2

Another song which is ruling the charts everywhere and in my iTunes is from the SRK starrer Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte

A true class act from Sonu Niigaam, paying tribute to songs picturised on Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna and Rishi Kapoor. Sonu has just proved his versatility once more by singing this remixed medley sung by Mukesh, Rafi, Kishore and Jolly Mukherjee.

And must say neatly done, Sonu Niigaam style!

Hats off to this legend of Indian music and my all-time favourite playback singer.

Sonu is God!

Obama who??

The world is with him, every newspaper likes him, he has become like everyone's friendly neighbor, and he is the President-elect of the US of A. I wonder if he deserves so much limelight.

What if, Obama was India's PM? What if he was the head of the missionaries of Charity? What if he was the next King of Saudi Arabia? Or what if he was the next president of Pakistan?

Will Barack Hussein Obama II be this well-known under the pretext of these what ifs?

I strongly feel that we attach too much attention to USA. Else, this would not have been a big deal. Statistics say that this year, in all 99 elections have been the world over and 8 more are to be held. But we just seem to know only about the US elections.

Also, if we search for "presidential elections 2008", the first Non-US link appears in page 77 referring to a google book based on Transforming Korean Politics.

We need to give other countries the respect they deserve and show Mr. Big Boss, his rightful place.

RATHER DO WHAT?

As I try to drown myself in this process called "end sem mug", I wonder why we do this to ourselves. Are we the cream of India, the future engineers?!? I really doubt that...

Then India does not have a strong foundation!

All I can afford to say is this -

Grades are shallow, dark and deep
And we have end sems to keep
And pages to go before I sleep
And ages to go before I sleep!!

The roller coaster rides during my end semester exams

This series is completely dedicated to the worst period of my stay in IIT Madras, the examination time. When I want to do everything other than what I should, when hours seem like seconds, lecture notes seem like verses from Satan and life loses its meaning.

To end semester examinations we pray!!
