Worry not, Wilbur's here

I have lots and lots of movies. But still get bored at times.
So, I go and do this.

Oh Obama Va..

I feel like Virendar Sehwag tonight. No, I don't have hair loss. Not Yet.
Its just that I wonder if he is batting sometimes and his thought pattern goes something like this, "I will hit the ball through that [hand gesture] direction, no matter how you bowl." 
Call it his willpower/confidence or his incorrigible adamance or plainly stupidity, it just won't matter. He will still move his padded, stiff feet and square cut a wide ball going way down leg. And probably gets out at times.
The point I m really trying to make is he sets himself to do something in a particular fashion and he does it, no matter what. Thats exactly what I m gonna do tonight. 
"I m going to write about Politics" 
Call it my willpower/blah blah blah or simply look me in the eye and go, "***** da nee", it just won't matter.
I m still gonna write about Politics. :-)


So whats new in Politics..
Tamil Nadu is taken over completely by its grand old man and his ever expanding family of sons and grandsons. (Every one of em always seem successful innit?) Its just a form of dictatorship that quite doesn't have a name yet.
They control the power lines. They control the elections. They control the traffic. They control the show business. They control everything what goes on around you. And as Goundmani puts it, "Ada divorce case kuda parkuranga pa.. Ore busyyy." 
Its just fuckin horrible with the powercuts and all. On the other hand, one of those hotshot grandsons is getting married next week, and probably we ll get two days of local holiday. Plans for a Fifa 11 marathon is on. So yay!


Somewhere else in India, Barack Obama, the US president has arrived to provide the Ayodhya case-disappointed, Commonwealth-conspiracy-disappointed, Endhiran-hype-finished, still-searching-nithyanandha's-sextapes hungry newsmongers something to write and talk about for a few days. And as diwali happened, he did just that in style, by putting up an impromptu dance with the students of some college in Mumbai. 
Appadi Podu Podu
And the amma dancing in the next picture is the First lady, Michelle Obama who seems to have a habit of dancing in shows she attends.[Source : Youtube] And she is great at it too, her husband boasts. 
Waka Waka
Amazingly amongst the India tholai katchigalil mudhan muraiyaga movies, this seemed to have captured the nation's eye too. Heck, it even convinced one of my classmates, that Obama came to India to celebrate Diwali!!!


Apparently the real purpose of his visit was to agree to some sort of billion dollar trade agreement, pay tribute to the victims of the 26/11 attack and talk on various other important matters with India. And like his predecessor Bushu and other US presidents, he too stressed the friendship of the two nations. (If it had been Chennai instead of Delhi, he would have surely called Manmohan Singh "Machi")
However, Obama reportedly had still managed to give one of his famous "change" speeches at the parliament,  addressing the state of Islams and the UNSC for India, which is frankly telling the Indian government how to do their job. 
Well no one cares, and certainly not me. 
Like lots of people who retweeted,
"Obama is President of America. Funny to see Indians asking him to do a lot for us. Why should he fight the Indian war?"
Anyways Obama leaves country tomorrow. And my mom dearly wishes she could give him some of her diwali murukku and sweets so he could give it to my brother in the US. But he seems to go further east to Indonesia, so all plans dropped.
LOL at the Iyer's Shoes.
The above picture was taken earlier in the US. Seemed to be a good choice for the occasion, so I put it up. 
Well..
Thats all from the news now. Stay tuned for more updates.

Trick or treat?

Although the Anti-Vijay enthusiast in me jump up and down excitedly like Dobby the elf and complain it should be Sura this year, (compared to last year Halloween's S.J.Suryah), I just found this too terrifying.
Muhahaha!


Apparently as the above picture suggests, "Superhumans do exist!!" 

pssst : this is not a pity post to increase count for the year, although the inclusion of the page hit counter and the archive numbers suggest otherwise. :D
"I just wanted a decent post for diwali" 


Madhuri Dixit. 
I have scared you.
Happy Halloween guys. :-)


P.S.  this might have been an inside joke.
