Taare Zameen Par - Movie review

Very few movies can be rated has "good to watch" and this movie is definitely one. I watched the movie with my entire family and everyone liked it (even though no one can talk, read, understand Hindi). I explained few scenes of the movie to them(even I don't understand Hindi).


The little kid Eshaan (character name)sets the pace of the film and tend to like him more than Aamir Khan (Character name - Nikumbh). The movie looks realistic with apt performance by every character in the movie.

It's a good movie for parents, to be parents and young parents like me. Nice movie to be watched (even if you do not understand Hindi). While going do not forget to take some tissue papers (if you are not the kind to squeeze out a tear during the movies, you can give it to the person next to you,they will need it.). Happy watching.

What causes hair loss - one more reason

I assume that most of the visitors to my blog are my friends and family members. They all know the importance of hair loss and i thought this link would be useful to them.

Dr. Razavi's Good to Know Info - what causes hair loss

She has given a list of reasons that cause hair loss.

Another reason that I think that causes hair loss is "teasing people who are loosing hair". I am not sure how many would agree to that (not proven), but I know I have CMK & Murali who will agree with me.

Quoting the Quotes - 1

Ocassionally I come across few quotes that I want to pass it on to others. What else could be the best way than having it in my blog. And let me know if you like it (and if you don't like it too.)

If the first thing you do every morning is to eat a live frog, nothing worse will happen to you all day.

The meaning is that you maintain momentum by tackling your most difficult and important problem first thing in the morning.

Hmm.. Sounds interesting, but i hate problems.

diwali guys

Very funny video. Don't forget to switch on your speakers.

Restaurants in Chennai

I had a client visit from USA this week (2 Americans & 1 Indian). Deciding the restaurants to suit their tastes was pretty difficult. food should not be too spicy, good ambiance and ofcourse good service. I took them to the following restaurants during their 3 day visit and I should say it was pretty good.

1. Mainland China at Sterling Road - Chinese Food, my favorite was Fish Karuba.


2. Saravana Bhavan at Shanthi Theatre Complex - South Indian Meals and the Sambar


3. Wharf Restaurant at GRT Temple bay, Mahabalipuram - Seafood Continental/Tandoor Style and surprisingly the bar and the restaurant was not too expensive.


4. Bikes & Barrels Pub at Residency Towers- the place was just OK on a Tuesday


5. Virudhunagar at AnnaNagar- Spicy chettinad style chicken and mutton. My guest liked it too. The ambiance was good but they need to do something about their entrance.


6. The Amethyst at Gopalapuram- Good place for a chat. I saw quite few foreigners there and the menu (including the price) is designed for them. My favorite was the Power Syrup (Hibiscus Syrup with Soda), was different and tasted gooood. Would go to that place again for a power syrup :-)


7. Sri Krishna Sweets at AnnaNagar - Bought some mysurpa and dates halwa! and yes they liked it too.

Are there any other suggestions for restaurants in Chennai?

And inbetween all this we had some business talk too.

gadgets - Nabaztag

I am fond of tech gadgets. Gadgets which are of use to me for my daily life, which can help in improving my productivity and anything which are useful. Few of which i own are Palm PDA, Apple ipod (i use it for listening to podcasts), Nokia Communicator (few weeks back, i had to seacrh for it in a swimming pool, courtesy my friends Pari & Prassana). But for the fist time i have fallen in love with an electronic rabbit and it does lot of work for you. My new interest is Nabaztag. I am yet to check if I can afford that, but i liked what it can do. It is an electronic bunny, which can sing, read news for you, inform when you receive e-mails etc. Something you can have in your office (if they permit) or home where Wi-fi and power socket is available. Nabaztag can aslo receive SMS and e-mail messages and can read it for you. He can teach you tai-chi and he can have a girlfriend too.

Will let you know when i buy one.
