The Expendables


What can i tell about this movie. It has a huge Super start cast like Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Steve Austin, Bruce Willis & Arnold Schwarzenegger in a small cameo.

I’m a hardcore fan of Stallone and this movie was a in the must watch list of mine. Also it is special when the icon has directed the movie himself. I’m happy to see my here coming back strong and even at the age of 64 he has a good built.

It is really hard to coordinate such a huge star-cast and if one can read about the way things were built one can understand how such a team was evolved.

Coming back to the movie it is a full loaded action movie. Though the movie’s screenplay was so quick. But i didn’t see any substance in the movie. It is a a typical stereo type movie where a team of leads killing thousands of a country’s army.

The movie is a must watch movie to see stunning action scenes.

Buddha’s Advice to Calm a Disturbed Mind


Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers.. This was in the initial days. While they were traveling, they
happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples, “I am thirsty. Do get me some water from that lake there.”

The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink!”

So he came back and told Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink.” After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake.

This time too he found that the lake was muddy. He returned and informed Buddha about the same. After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back. The disciple reached the lake to find the lake absolutely clean and clear with pure water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.

Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said,” See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be…. and the mud settled down on its own – and you got clear water. Your mind is also like that! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless.

Love Story passed by some Loved one!!!


Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love.

One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left.

Except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,”Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!””I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.””Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going.

When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realising how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who Helped me?””It was Time,” Knowledge answered.

“Time?” asked Love.
“But why did Time help me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.”

Enthiran Everywhere


If there would have been a religion called Rajiniism then the entire Tamil Speaking pollution would have been following that religion. Our thalaivar can be humble to tell that the movie would become a hit because it is a Aishwarya Rai – Shankar – Kalanidhi Maran – A.R.Rehman combination. But we are not bothered about the combination but we love it because it is a Rajini movie. One thing what I get upset is every time our icon degrades himself to praise other people. He has to realize that we are only getting irritated. Otherwise we are looking for the movie.

Already Buzz has started to come rounds. Social Media is full of the music launch, trailer videos & song reviews. Also the when I went to Satyam Cinemas we were startled to see Jumbo Coke cups to be of Enthiran’s.

With all this buzz and hype I cant resist to know the release date and we have lots of plans for the occasion.

Should I live for myself or for the society???


After coming from Ooty I’ve posted snaps of me drinking & dancing with friends. I got request from my well wishers to remove them. The reason they gave me is that I’m a CEO & people will not respect if I engage on such things. Thought of posting my views on going public on my acts.

  • First I don’t want to Justify the act of Drinking.
  • Also I’m not endorsing something.
  • I drink occasionally & I want to enjoy the occasion.
  • My personal & professional lives are apart and I don’t want to hide something for the sake of another.
  • I feel by hiding / filtering my personal experience for the sake of Professional respect is again like Cheating people.
  • I want my Brand Identity & Brand Image to be the same.
  • I’m convinced in what I’m doing because; My Virtual Mentors like Steve Jobs, Richard Branson & Larry Ellison have all lived a life which were public & still they were respected.

So, according to me I must be respected Professionally for the work I do & not by seeing my personal life. I know it is a matter of debate, but i believe in what I’m doing and I feel proud to be a open person.
