Yesterday, after a long time, I got to play ping-pong/table tennis. I hadn't lost that much touch, considering that I have played it after almost two years. So had my opponent. We both entertained each other quite a bit. So, I was wondering what to do last night. I originally thought of watching Zathura, which had just released, but didn't feel quite upto it after some time. My wife made some Maggi (instant noodles of India :-)). We had that and visited our friend, who suggested that we watch the India-Sri Lanka match on his computer. He had somehow subscribed to that site which was offering live feeds. It was ok. It was kind of slow. In the middle, we were distracted to have some snacks and watched about 45 mins of this movie called "ullam Kekkume". Since the story wasn't going anywhere, I decided not to watch it any further.
We continued to watch the cricket match for sometime until I felt very sleepy. We returned home after 12:45 am and crashed. Kind of woke up late to day - very late by my standards - 8 am! Anyways, after having that good sleep, I was wondering what I'll do this weekend. I had given my motorcycle for service. I'll pick it up today. I'm supposed to meet my friend who has come from Bay Area, just for this weekend. I'm supposed to give some songs to my other friend 'cause he wanted to listen to Ilayaraja. We will watch Majaa tomorrow. I will read some more books. My rate of progress with the books have been very slow since I am trying to assimilate as much as possible on every page. I'd like to follow whatever that is written in the book.
Looks like the reviews of Majaa aren't that great. Regardless we could always watch it for Asin. That reminds me - my friend also had a video of Asin's interview on some tamil channel. We watched the whole interview yesterday. I was very impressed - Asin was speaking tamil without much difficulty. Looks like she does her own dubbing, which is very impressive! She is originally from Kerala and her mother tongue is Malayalam. So, she didn't have any difficulty in picking up tamil, seems like. She has already acted in quite a few movies. Two of her movies were released for Deepavali - Sivakasi and Majaa. Good progress, but whether she can be the next Simran remains to be seen. You know first it was Amala, in the 80s, then Kushboo in the early 90s and Simran in the late 90s - early this decade. They all then vanished after taking up family responsibilities. They always do that. Anyways, people also stop accepting them beyond a point. I'd say that Simran left on a high note. I am not sure if she'll come back to acting.
Anyways, I'll keep you guys posted on what actually happens this weekend. Hopefully something exciting.
