I walked the plains in search of what I wanted.
I knew where to find it,
And followed the directions on the compass.
Only when I reached my destination,
I realized that it wasn’t my goal,
I had followed the wrong compass.

Everybody is in search of the right direction, some use experience, some use intuition, some use faith and some use that compass deep inside their heart.

After watching Formula One for a better part of 6 years, I have realized there are moments that as a F1 fan I will never forget. Pictures that are engraved in your mind forever…

At the start of this weekend that first pictures from Singapore did it. The gorgeous track basked in the beautiful artificial lighting is locked away in my memory. But this weekend had more to offer

The third season of Heroes has been a big disappointment in my opinion. Its not the story or the characters entirely(though they are not perfect either) but more to do with the lack of quite simply logic in some parts. I understand the show is a Sci-Fic show but some things are simply beyond explanation.

Took these photos as I waited for my carpool yesterday. Remembered to post about it after reading Swetha’s post! What were the odds of that happening?

I started reading Fermat’s Last Theorem a few days ago and it has by far been the most gripping non-fiction book I have ever read. This is the second book written by Simon Singh that I have picked up. The Code Book(review) was his other book and I loved it too.

The book is about a mathematical problem that took over 300 years to solve. The ‘last theorem’ is intriguing in itself but what i have enjoyed most about the book so far is the story of Pythagoras and his love for numbers. There is so little I knew about the man who had put forward probably the single most famous theorem in mathematics.

I happened to watch Mamma Mia! over the weekend… When I say ‘happened to’, I mean happened to

I was actually planning to go to a play performed by my friend and was catching up with Sidharth, Pramod and Anant at a coffee shop. About 10 min before I had planned to leave, a couple of girls at the coffee shop offered us tickets to the movie. The movie was starting about an hour later and I had just been informed that the tickets of the play was all sold out. So we decided to go watch the movie.

I am a sucker for musicals so I was pretty sure I would enjoy it. The movie was based around the songs of ABBA and were very well put in. I had only heard of “Mamma Mia” and “Dancing Queen” before watching the movie and found the songs were pretty good. I will be adding more ABBA songs to my playlist thanks to the movie.

Meryl Steep’s performance in the movie is nothing short of brilliant, I spent most of the movie simply admiring her acting. The other actors did their job very well and I never felt anything much lacking in the acting department. The singing was mostly good but I have to mention that the emotional song that Pierce Brosnan sings simply left me laughing… It was then when I remembered that this guy was James Bond, and that only fueled the laughter

All in all the movie is fun but ok. If you like light hearted musicals this is probably your kind of movie.

Rock On! has clearly had a bigger impact than what I thought it would have when I first heard about it. The story, acting, dialogs, music and scenes all deserve to be written and talked about… But one of the things I wasn’t very impressed with initially were the lyrics of the songs.

Of course there is no compulsion that the songs of a movie must have great lyrics but this movie was one that promised to ride on its music. My initial opinion (about the lyrics) was echoed by a lot of my friends, but then I listened to Phir Dekhiye & Yeh Tumhari Meri Baatein. Those two songs made me rethink my opinion about the rest of the soundtrack.
