Oru Cup Coffee

Latest additions to tamil movies list that fall under 30 minutes endurance.

1. Dishyum - "Day in the life of a Stuntsman" got a horrible Kollywood treatment. Guess it was directed by a director's double
2. Kalabhak Kadhalan - Silly overtures. Seemed like, at a point (within 30 mins) the director himself got bored and gave away the control to the actors

Makes me think that I should reduce my threshold. I am beginning get more impatient.

I do not about many people who read Vikatan, but I used to take what I read from the magazine as facts. It came as a shock to me when I saw an article in this week's Vikatan. It claims that Vice President Cheney shot and Killed Harry Wittington! Read the excerpt above. Also, it uses this callous killing to relate to war in Iraq. Absolute absurdity and I do not know how this got to see the print. I sent the a mail about this to Vikatan and it bounced. There are lots of articles we read in Vikatan that I do not have knowledge about and I assume there is validation behind each story. Unfortunately not.

Having been on the road (or air) for a while, I sometimes wonder when I get out of sleep whether I am in my home, hotel or in a plane. I hare red-eye cross country trips as I can barely sleep sitting. I am irritated at most airlines providing the slightest of inclination, which your body barely registers and harly lulls you to sleep. My fellow travellers are gifted to sleep even standing, so they just go snoring even before the flight takes off. I've tried many things to get some sleep, but more I try the more I am awake. Some of my friends in Chennai, used to commute from Chengalput and Nanganallor to the city. They would sleep the moment they board their commute, either sitting or standing. They would automatically wake up, sleep walk a bit to their work and fresh enough to get to work. I always wondered how this is humanly possible. Anyway, back to air travel. After many such travels, I've learned the trick now and I am able to get some sleep. Not the sound ones like my friends, but just enough to not yawn in front of my clients in a morning meeting. I'd like to hear what others who read this think about this and how they cope with this.

The consumer reports has come up with an issue on top cars this year. Surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) there are no american cars at the top. All Japanese. Even in the truck category! The interviewer at msbc is also musing over this with the consumer reports guy. Very interesting and I hope American cars do something to catch up soon.
