Evanescent Thoughts

A Wednesday

Posted in College life, computers, general by Sathya Narayanan on February 4, 2009

This post was supposed to be a big one telling the wednesday story of mine.. I even wrote half a page .. but changed my mind and scrapped it all off..I am gonna put it in a nut shell

1.  Working in sun lab in the early hours of day ( like 3.30 in the morning) is totally  fun .

2. There are few things that can get classes cancelled and one of them is ” no water in hostels” :P ( got the whole morning hours cancelled !! ) .

3. I am to some extent good at carrom and I love playing the joker ( to knw more about the fun of being a joker in carrom ask venki and vi  :P )

4. Never try to cross the first year fence by taking the cycle over it .. You can get oil spilled on your clothes …  :(

5. Writing in latex is fun after the initial hiccups.

6. Never give yourself to something that you dont plan to do in any case.. Now I am struck up with a prog contest that would run only on IE and has no description of any sort.

7 . And whn the time is 7 in the evening and u have an event to manage at pragyan , its time to get settled in sun lab with laptop :)

Now go back to step 1 :)

I never thought I could stay for a week without watching a movie or tv series.

Nagesh …

nagesh

Tamil cinema’s most versatile comedian passed away few days back . I was  a big fan of him , not to say the millions of tamilians who have seen him act in more than 1000 films. I never knew when i became a fan , nor do i remember if i wasnt anytime  . But he was one who could almost get you onto floors with his great timing and expression of comedy .

Neither was he exceptional comedian but a classic actor who could almost do any role with perfection. Kamal and nagesh shared a bond more than mutual admirers . Nagesh would appear in most of kamal works and few of them were classics ( the villain role in aboorva sagotharargal , MMKR , nammavar , Magalir mattum ) .

Its ironic that the man who made tamil cinema fans roll on floor with laughter  won his only national award for a his expression after the traumatic suicide of his daughter ( nagesh’s) . Watch it over here  and it sure deserver more than just a national award . Some time we miss things so much that we wish we never missed them .

Though he is no more , his works make him feel he is still around us . Only very few people can earn somthing like that.
