Now a days not finding time for regular blog updates...

Last week watched tamil movie, Madharasapattinam

Madharasapattinam - the old name for the Chennai city.

I am not a movie and history expert. for me the movies are just another passion.

'Madharasapattinam' is really a good one to admire , lot of efforts been put to showcase the present garbage filled chennai city as glorious ,classic old Madras pattinam. photography, art work ,costumes and graphics department have spent extra effort to bring the audiences to the expected mind set.

story may be the mixture of laggan & Titanic but the sucess of the director comes where he compiled the screenplay without having any smell from them,

Songs...are too good and background score is above expectation. half of the movie runs with english conversation..not having idiotic s like english men speaking in tamil :)

kuddos to director vijay , i had wonderfull journey to the old classic madras by time machine..

Life is always brings magic's in seconds..i don't like the behavior of crying and shedding tears... the life was not smooth for me for the last few months...

i was totally down and the never happened sag of shedding tears attacked me .. cried alone in the early hours of Feb 12th of this year....i don't want to dig ...but i felt literally being alone ...and...blah blah. dont know where the old strong courages dis appeared . !!??

dispersedly i wanted the change of breath..change of mind set.. wanted to get addicted to work and for the Photography.. started travelling alone in my bike for long distances..started avoiding being idle ....all the pains were slowly getting vanished....

... for the last 6 months i must have traveled around 5000 kilo meters in my bike ..i must have taken more than 2000 snaps in my nikkon..

meeting new peoples, learning new cultures,getting new friends...

the mind set of failures or sad or negative feel were vanished now..

finally getting the real appreciations for my effort @ work and personally did not have let down moments and have courage to face it now.

Again had bike journey ooty from bangalore. now i have plenty of reasons to celebrate .

ooty always a great paradise for nature lovers.. this time the journey is not smooth..wet roads with bad road grip...but my Apache always in need...with pickup, stability, speed and control..

i enjoyed a lot, taken lot's and lot of photographs in ooty and in bandipur.. dont know will i get a one more chance like this...

There were a few unforgettable moments in this trip,

1. while travelling toward from bandhipur -> ooty ...just got escaped from a major accident...my shoulder bag was got tied with big rear seat..the grip got loosed up due to rain on the travel..slowly it got in contact with rear wheel of the bike..a sudden break kind of feel..but i was able to manage to throw the bike at the corner of the busy road..

luckily got escaped..a heavy truck near the scene in less than 20 meters.. luckily nothing happened to me & bike..but bag got damaged..

2. the road from ooty to dolphin noes is quite slippery ...lost of my control on a dolphin nose..applied the disk brake tightly..apache stopped with quite noise.....i just got stopped in a place where did not had proper barriers and deep trance ahead. ...:)

i came back to bangalore on a indian bandh a day..no vehicles in the mysore bangalore highway..crossed 140 kms in just 2 hours..finally able to fill my 8 GB Nikkon Memory card :)
