Pongal day hullabaloo

Just another typical saturday, got up pretty late. Had absoultely no plans for the day. Got a call from Suba, she asked me in her beautiful voice, "Do you want to come for lunch? I have prepared pongal". Well what do you think I did? The thought of Indian food made me hungry. Needless to say she is an excellent cook. The first thing I noticed in her house was the guitar. Wow! cool. I took the guitar and she taught me the chords. We went into a deep discussion about music and its complexity and simplicity. She played some songs for me and for a moment, I forgot my hunger. Hope to get a band going in future. Learnt a bit of guitar and then we sat to attack the pongal. To simply put it in words, thats the best Indian food I have had in months. I forgot all sense of discipline and hogged. Sweet pongal and ven pongal with puli kulambu, went in one after the other. I ate like I hadn't eaten for a long time.
Evening show? King Kong? ok let's go. Show starts at 7pm. But we reached at 7 (Indian Streachable time). Add another hour to it. "Fun with Dick and Jane" started at 8pm. King kong, some other time. Moreover Suba was too scared for "Hostel". Liked the movie. Jim Carrey has done a fair job.
Then to Papa chittos for some Mexican dinner. By the time we returned, it was 11:30. Only if everyday was like this. Thanks to Suba and Shiva for making it a wonderful day.

Tennis to keep me going

5:30 pm and we start mailing and calling our group of friends, asking them to be in the tennis court at 6 sharp. Well we have never started at 6, but then we do play. At first it was just about hitting the ball across the net, but now we have matured and come to a decent level. We can serve aces now and wow it is fun to see your serve speed across the court.
Well yesterday was one such day. Kapil came on to the court at 7 and we started a round of singles. I was serving completely at ease until he picked up his game and began hitting winners and his ever deadly chops off both sides. We were thrilled about our game having picked up so much within only a week. Wow it really feels good, believe me. I had to change my strategy to prevent him dropping the ball close to the net, so I started going near the net as often as possible. That seemed to put him off a bit and I began winning a lot of points with my volley. I won the first set 7-6 (7-5). We started the second set and he shifted gears to a different level. He began hitting the ball crisply. I really had to run around a bit. He raced to a 3-1 lead. I could never pull back the lead and eventually he won the set 6-3. But we were so happy at the end of the game. One good day of tennis.

Grim Brother's tale

A typical example of how one can make a complete mockery of a horror flick with a good theme. Well it was a good timepass, but nothing to add to that. Liked the heroine, she kinda looked cute. The story is a typical picture of one's best imagination of a horror flick. A forest driven by evil spirits which refuse to die even after 100s of years. The evil spirit, played by Monica Belluci, tries to get back her beautiful image by killing young kids and the rest is blah blah blah...
Hope to get better movies. Next in line are all the parts of LOTR and Indiana Jones. That's what weekends are for. :)
