Was watching “When Harry met Sally” in Zee Studio. 2 interesting things happened:

• At one instance, the guy in the movie says, “Men and women can’t be friends because …”. Wow.
• A girl in the movie, goes to shop her wedding dress. She tries out one & asks Meg Ryan about her opinion. Meg Ryan, says she is beautiful. I however didn’t think she was so. So I immediately picked up a cloth & started to dust my television screen, to see if there is any difference.

PS: 30 Days of Night was crappy movie. Although, Ben Foster (I’ll try to remember his name) was impressive in it. He really scarred me at times. Check his performance in 3:10 to Yuma. Its worth a watch.

Can I ask you a question?

No one can say a sentence like this. Read it again, you’ll realize its absurdness.

The moment someone says this, the permission to ask a question is already used-up. So next time, you wanna ask someone of something, say this:

If you don’t mind, can I ask you 2 questions? One is this & the other is ______.

Kamal Hassan’s take on Marriages:

All I can say is that marriage is a folly that is slowly becoming redundant. I have four vaccination marks. In our time, they were a necessary ordeal. It’s different today. I’m hopeful that one day like the vaccinations, the institution of marriage too will go away.

A broken marriage isn’t an offence or crime. Today I am happy, yes, but my idea of being settled is only inside the coffin. Till then everything is mobile.

Before you propose something new, you make sure it works; like a working prototype. I wonder if something of such was done for marriages. Probably, people thought no one at Heaven would dare to make a mistake.

Michael: காதல் மட்டும் பாவம் இல்லயா?

Geetha: காதல் புனிதம். Pure divine.

Michael: sighs. காதல்னு ஒன்னும் கிடையவே கிடையாது. Doesn’t exist.

Geetha: என்ன back அடிக்கிறயா?

Michael: ஏய்! நாம பொறந்தது எல்லாம்; நாமனா நான், நீ, இந்த பச்சசட்ட, மஞ்ச சுடிதாரு, இதோ அந்த போலீசுகாரர்; எல்லாரும் பொறந்தது எதுக்காக? நம்மலோட இனவிருத்ததுக்காக. இந்த காதல், கீதல், கண்ணீரு, பாட்டு, ஓவியம் எல்லாம் இருட்டுலையும், பார்குலயும், ஓட்டல்லயும் bedல முடியரதுக்காக. எல்லாம் hormone சம்மந்தப்பட்டது. Androgen, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone; வெறும் organic chemistry. x-chromosome, y-chromosome, xx, xy, இவ்வளவு தான் சமாச்சாரமே! முடிஞ்சது matter. புரியுதா நான் சொல்லரது?

Geetha: ம்ம்! சுத்தம்!
