Starting first day at Yahoo! ...

... with a bad case of fever !
Climate change ? Getting wet in the rain ? Not eating properly last couple of days ?

... in any case, should be one heck of a way to begin a new job :-)
Left Sun on friday, and joining Yahoo! today ... two days later - I really wish I had a break to unwind.

And thanks for all the wishes - appreciate them !

Sun sets ...

... for me for now.
Leaving my first job at Sun Microsystems after 6 long years - in about two weeks or so from now.
Thanks to my friends for making this happen !

"Nammal"

A batchmate of mine from college, Jishnu, acted in this movie ... and unfortunately, I never got to watch it until now. It was a mixed bag ... parts of it were good, parts of it sucked really bad, and rest were so-so.
Being a college story, the story tends to appeal to a wider audience ... though it looks like a really 'simple' college ! The one aspect where something good could have been done was ruined by shoddy plot.
Jishnu pulls off a credible performance, which is surprisingly considering it was his first movie ... but overall, I was just waiting for the movie to end.

'Wide Awake'

For a PG movie, this movie is one of the best I have seen in recent years ! In retrospect, a relatively 'normal' story - but it totally sucks you into it with some amazing portrayal, and pretty much brilliant story telling.

Only at the end of watching it, I came to know of one more fact - it was written and directed by 'M. Night Shyamalan'. In my book, his best creation to date :-)

Satisfaction

... of a job well done, of achieving goals, of leaving things at a much better shape than you started off with - of being able to say : yes I have made a change for the better, and to see visible effects of those efforts.

At the end of the day, this would be every persons dream ...

And now I wish this bloody backache will go away ! I have a long week ahead of me, and my back is killing me - natures way of telling me - bad posture is ... bad !
