AADI Shopping at Usman Road

AADI Shopping

We (my family) went for Aadi shopping - its more of ritual - as we didnt do shopping for the last 2 years, so planned lot of things this time. You get to read the tale now:

I generally buy once in July and keep shuffling through the year. For kids, we buy lots of quantity for a moderate price as they spoil the dress very fast.

Saravana Stores - Brammandamai:

We first went to Saravana Stores - Brammandamai by 9:15am and went to 7th floor and came walking down one after another floor ! The crowd was very limited and the staffs were kind of clearning / dusting / sweeping the floors. The entire place was changed by 10am as shoppers started thronging ! You buy and bill in one floor and leave it with guard on the another floor and so on....

Its a great shop, offers hell lot of varieties for every age and has stocks from Rs.10. Goods Arrangement / presentation is reasonably decent. Staffs help out a lot when in doubt. For a male kid, they had all kind of dress with spiderman, batman, power ranger stuffs; Wonderful collection of churidar materials;

Pothys: Goods arrangement / presentation is definitely below average here. Girls section offers the best variety. Gents section had soft a local clone variety jockey shorts which no other shop had for just Rs.70 and full pant for Rs.150 !

Chennai Silks: Goods arrangement / presentation is the best of three I visited. Staffs are very friendly here. We bought daily casual wear for children here. Delivery of good is completely different from other shop and efficient. This is the only shop which had floor plan, evacuation guide etc !!!


On Shoppers:

People are generally polite and on their own. Two things they can improve - avoid crowding near lift, looking / snatching the cloth which you have already filtering !

Serial Blast in Bangalore, Ahmedabad

Another week, another blast happened in Bangalore; by the time one tries to recover from the event, another serial blast happened in Ahmedabad.

Looks like Ahmedabad blast is keenly planned and executed similar to the one in Jaipur. Hence, we are at the mercy of terrorits rather than indian police.

State Governments should step up their activity to modernise the police force, equip them with CCTV cameras, phone monitoring and above all allow them to work independently to prevent crimes instead of forcing them to perform mundane activities.

I dont see any point in blaming central government - i also dont see any point when central agencies say that they have issued alert to various state - they are routine alerts - no value in them.

Above all, Congress simply does not want to deal with terrorism with iron hand and it is clearly visible in the unresolved terrorits cases & no single conviction happened so far ! They think blaming some Muslim organisation is their duty and thats the end of it !!!!!

UPA win the vote of confidence

Oh !!! What a drama !!! Similar to twists and turns of the hindi movie RACE :)

BJP is a loser in this whole as it clearly became an vote competition between Mayawati and Amar Singh. Eventually, Sinngh continued to remain king.

I am happy that UPA has won the confidence vote simply because nuclear deal should not be considered as an issue to bring any government down. Probaly, if congress would have done this entire exercise of taking house into confidence long time back... atleast the process would have been looked bit more elegant rather than wooing CPM alone !

Cash for vote episode brings back "punishment" to the focus. The law of the land should just remain in paper and it should be implemented.

The next revelation could be CNN-IBN's tapes on shady deals... Watch out for further amusement / entertainment.

Test cricket - July 2008

About Cricket

England is 146/5 in their second innings/second test and trail South Africa by 173 runs. I am very happy about the paper tiger's failure as i was aghast when SA failed in first innings of the first test. I sincerely feel that SA would take the series comfortably to their winning ways !

India would start the test series against Sri Lanka this week. I expect India to win the series and i will be greatly disappointed with any other result as Lankan team is depleted without Malinga and Mahroof; Murali is not taking wickets in recent past.

I dont give a great weightage to Mendis threat and i sincerely feel that it was just an odd day in Asia Cup finals. As every Indian cricket fan is aware, India would make one unknown guy famous in every tour (like Amla against Spin bowling recently).

Let us also hope that Sachin Tendulkar would surpass the maximum century record in the first test itself instead of making us to wait longer !

Germany Grand Prix - F1

Germany Grand Prix - F1

It turned out to be fine race finally. Hamilton's passion for winning was visible from Qualifying laps to final race. Three overtaking incidents of Hamilton proved how hungry he was about returning to winning ways!

Glock's accident was the only sore incident in the whole race. Nelson Piquet's podium finish was greeted well by Massa too.

Will Ferrari make a fierceful comeback?

Long Live Indian Democracy

Its perfectly clear now that SP cannot fulfil its promise of 39 votes on 22nd. All the high, plain talks of Amar Singh seems not working. Shibu Soren (JMM) with 5 MPs JDS with 2 MPs are likely to go for UPA.

But Congress would still find it difficult to meet the 271 mark and it looks like "absentism" might also play a good role in the proceedings.

MPs asked for what they want and they are likely to be greeted with money, power, ministry etc... The change is highly transparant this time than ever before.

Long live our democracy.

A finest movie called JUNO

Ellen Page, plays Juno MacGuff, a 16-year-old high school junior who discovers she’s pregnant after a one night stand with mild-mannered best-friend and lovable nerd Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera). The catch is – she neither wants the baby nor abortion !!! So the movie goes on how she develops the baby, how she finds a couple to adopt the would be born kid….

The greatness in the movie lies in the way director handles the story. No emotional run-ups, superb one-liners, fine acting, pacy screen play.

The ultimate part of the movie lies in its music – one cant believe / wonder / amuse that the soundtracks fits the movie like a musical. As a tribute, I have listed the lyrics of 4 best tracks below and link to listen. Ensoi the music for time being until you get hold of DVD.

No wonder this movie has won Oscars - Don’t even dare to miss this movie !!!

Lyrics of Song - All I Want Is You from Juno movie soundtrack

Listen to: http://www.last.fm/music/Kimya+Dawson/Juno+-+Music+From+The+Motion+Picture


 

If I was a flower growing wild and free

All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.

And if I was a tree growing tall and green

All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves


 

If I was a flower growing wild and free

All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.

And if I was a tree growing tall and green

All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves


 

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.


 

If you were a river in the mountains tall,

The rumble of your water would be my call.

If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow

Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.


 

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.


 

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod

If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.

If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug

And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug


 

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.


 

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.

If you were the love, I'd be the desire.

If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,

And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.


 

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea

Lyrics of Song - Tree Hugger from Juno movie soundtrack

Listen to: http://www.last.fm/music/Kimya+Dawson/Juno+-+Music+From+The+Motion+Picture


 

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"

The tree said, "I wish I could be

A different kind of tree,

The cat wished that it was a bee,

The turtle wished that it could fly

Really high into the sky,

Over rooftops and then dive

Deep into the sea.


 

And in the sea there is a fish,

A fish that has a secret wish,

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it.

And in the sea there is a fish,

A fish that has a secret wish,

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it.


 

And the flower

Would be its offering

Of love to the desert.

And the desert,

So dry and lonely,

That the creatures all

Appreciate the effort.


 

Et le chacalot a dit:

"Je voudrais être un yéti

Pour voler dans la nuit

Et m'envoler loin d'ici"

Mais le yéti a dit:

"Je veux être un monstre marin

Pour pouvoir sauter dans la mer

De tous les requins"


 


 

And the rattlesnake said,

"I wish I had hands so

I could hug you like a man."

And then the cactus said,

"Don't you understand,

My skin is covered with sharp spikes

That'll stab you like a thousand knives.

A hug would be nice,

But hug my flower with your eyes."


 

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"

The tree said, "I wish I could be

A different kind of tree,

The cat wished that it was a bee,

The turtle wished that it could fly

Really high into the sky,

Over rooftops and then dive

Deep into the sea.


 

And in the sea there is a fish,

A fish that has a secret wish,

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it.

And in the sea there is a fish,

A fish that has a secret wish,

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it.


 

And the flower

Would be its offering

Of love to the desert.

And the desert,

So dry and lonely,

That the creatures all

Appreciate the effort.

Kimya: You're a part time lover and a full time friend

The monkey on you're back is the latest trend


 

Adam: I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you


 

Adam: I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train

I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you


 

Kimya: Here is the church and here is the steeple

We sure are cute for two ugly people

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you


 

Adam: The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me

So why can't, you forgive me?

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you


 

Kimya: I will find my nitch in your car

With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

Both:

Du du du du du du dudu

Du du du du du du dudu

Du du du du du du dudu du


 

Kimya: Up up down down left right left right B A start

Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you


 

Adam: You are always trying to keep it real

I'm in love with how you feel

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you


 

Kimya: We both have shiny happy fits of rage

You want more fans, I want more stage

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you


 

Adam: Don Quixote was a steel driving man. My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you


 

Kimya: Squinched up your face and did a dance

You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

Lyrics of Song - I'm Sticking With You from Juno Movie Soundtrack

http://www.last.fm/music/Kimya+Dawson/Juno+-+Music+From+The+Motion+Picture


 

I'm sticking with you

'Cos I'm made out of glue

Anything that you might do

I'm gonna do too


 

You held up a stage coach in the rain

And I'm doing the same

Saw you hanging from a tree

And I made believe it was me


 

I'm sticking with you

'Cos I'm made out of glue

Anything that you might do

I'm gonna do too


 

Some people go into the stratosphere

Soldiers fighting with the Cong


 

But with you by my side I can do anything

When we swing

We hang past right and wrong


 

I'll do anything for you

Anything you want me to


 

I'll do anything for you

Oohoh I'm sticking with you

Oohoh I'm sticking with you

Oohoh I'm sticking with you

Sakkarakatti - Music Review

Sakkarakatti - Music Review

I got enough stinkers for my ADA review. Hence, i will write only minimal english hereafter while reviewing music albums. No experiments this time,so happy listening folks...

Album: Sakkarakatti
Music: A R Rahman

Tracks:

Elay - 4.5/5 (Peppy)
Chinnamma - 4/5 (amusing lyrics)
Taxi Taxi - 4.5/5 (Damn good tune, mustafa type lyrics, blazee blazes thru)
Marudhani - 5/5 (Munbe vaa - part II - worth every bit, hats off to vaali too)
I miss you da - 4/5 (Superb singing)
Naan Eppodhu - 4/5 (Superb lyrics)

Overall rating - Worth every penny

Economics of Music (Audio) Rights

I was wondering why someone would buy Pritam's Sinngh is King music rights for 5 Crores. Hence, I tried to perform some number crunching. Here it goes….

Cost of Music Rights

 

Rs. 3,50,00,000

Price of a Audio CD

 

Rs.110

Price of Casette

 

Rs.48

Projected Sale of CD

2,50,000*110

2,75,00,000

Projected Sale of Casette

2,00,000*48

96,00,000


 

After doing the basic maths, I find it little amusing. After all, it doesn't seem that much bad economics provided they are able to sell good number of music CDs. I believe, Telugu movies are still able to sell good number of CDs / cassettes even now. Probably, they should release the official mp3 also for some Rs.8 or so to make life more interesting.

Tour De France

I love watching this program live on Ten Sports - what a scenic countryside one can view over 14 days of Cycling sport... Try it folks !

Run Away

Come on Tamil Folks... Listen to the recent releases of Hindi - Jaane Tu, Kismet Konnection, Sinngh is King, Rock On etc...

Tamil Music is totally disconnected with the Bollywood trend of music.

When are you going to run away from Kuthu Songs?

Chokers deserve to lose

Indians choked in Asia cup finals against Sri Lanka. They were mesmerised / hypnotised in Mendis's bowling attack. I am happy in this defeat like a pervert due to the following reasons:

1. I was astonished by Dhoni's Luck and his horoscope for quite some time. All the 9 grahas were roaming behind him in the last two years. Probaly, they started taking some rest.
2. Indians cricketers mostly choke in finals & the data shows it. They have hardly won 2 finals, 2 shared out of 21 appearances. Dhoni was reminded about it & Ganguly must be smiling.
3. No one can have the cake and eat it too. These guys made some obscene money in IPL and they should feel bit let down on some days. So all i am saying, they cant have huge bank balances and enjoy it 24/7.
4. I am really looking forward for implementation of player rotation policy.

Wimbledon 2008 - update

I am very happy to see Nadal cruise through Federer in Wimbledon finals 2008. Nadal deserved the cup as he was playing extremely well in 2008 when compared to Federer's form.

81minute rain break gave the fighting spirit back to Federer and that brought out some outstanding tennis, performance from both the players in 3rd, 4th & 5th sets. But Federer is still the most stylish, graceful player tennis has ever seen !!!

As for as the Women's tennis goes, Chinese tennis player Zheng Jia turned out to be the charm and attraction of 2008. All the top seeds like Ivanovic, Maria disappointed. Sania is sure to disappear into woods as for as singles tennis.

British GP - F1

What a cracker race it turned out to be - courtesy heavy downpour of rain !!! I enjoyed every minute of the race and skipped Sri Lanka batting (asia cup final) happily.

It was a highly unpredictable race, so many spins and turns from track, some accidents and finally - Hamilton, Heidfeid, Barrichelo stood out as race winners.

Bridgestone tyres - how much of a difference they can make on a wet track !!!

Honda i-vtec

Did you check out the latest honda tv commercial called drive every drop? Lovely commercial with some quality music.

Humphrey Bogart


I saw Casablanca (an all time great movie) and wondered who is this stunning actor? I should say, Bogart is a male actor i fell in love with just one movie experience. By the way, He acted between 1930 to 1956 in some 40odd movies and won Oscar once.

He is quite un-assuming, doesnt have great physique. But he has got impeccable diaglogue delivery, never goes overboard in acting and his screen presence is overwhelming.

I have just seen three of his movies so far - Casablanca, In a Lonely Place, The Caine Mutiny. He is so charming. Do not miss if you have not seen him yet !!!

AAMIR - a great hindi movie

I watched AAMIR today and couldnt believe the experience i went through. Meaningful cinema, brilliant screenplay, direction, rivetting climax, sensible photography;

Amazing music and background score. Finally, it gives "it could happen to you" feeling.

Kudos to the team who made this movie and people who are part of this movie. It makes indian movie goers proud !!! thats why i am not naming anyone. A Must watch movie for all die hard movie goers.

It is a shame that people spend so much of money to make stupid movies like Tashan, Jhoom barabar jhoom.

Sensex outlook for July 2008

In June i predicted that Sensex could down to touch 14500. I was wrong. It came down further and touched 13500 in June and slipped below 13000 on July 1.

For July, my outlook would continue to be on the negative side. Sensex could well touch 11500 to 12000 levels. No respite in selling from stock market participants. Stay away if you can from buying for now. Shift to Gold if possible.

Now, Funny side of sensex analysis and impact:

1. NIFTY stands for No Income For This Year
2. Sensex - There is no sense in sensex levels, if one continue to buy equities, one will not get sex anywhere !!!
3. Equity is a bad word and it replaces the famous four letter word
4. AADI month discount sale for stocks started in June itself. Discount sale is so attractive that if offers upto 75%to 90% of its Jan 2008 value.
5. F1 button in trading system is disabled (F1 is used to push purchase orders in NSE / ODIN stock trading terminals).
6. SEBI orders brokers to collect investors medical report like sugar, diabetes, ECG before allowing him to trade.
7. Buy all hospital stocks as patients queue up for treatment due to erosion of wealth.
8. Message in the church " Jesus never fails" and investor posted a comment under that "until he trades in index futures" !!!!!
