Okay so this might seem frightening. But theres a reason why I'm posting third time in a day. I found this really amazing video on you tube which I'm sure many of you might have heard of by now. When the NYT, the economic times both cover it, and at a time when Barack Obama is currently the most vidded person on you tube, it surely must have spread around. But in case you haven't heard of it, you better take a peek at this clip.

The travesty of the video is that the same reason why people are congratulatory and panegyric about this young person is also why it undermines the basic idea that it represents in the first place. The very fact that this video didn't just pass by unnoticed like the hundreds of other campaign related videos, but instead garnered a million views, depicts a rather unfortunate mindset of the people in the country. And I am rather guilty of being one of those whose impressions are molded by the media. And seeing someone who dresses like a slacker, is chewing gum, but most importantly is 'young', would definitely flash the words 'dumb' and 'ignorant ' in front of my eyes. I hope the media and the politicians reach out to these youngsters in a more researched manner and not heed to the stereotype build up by the media. As a result of which they usually dumb them down and whistle to them with a leash in their hands. I'd like to see how the Clinton camp reacted to this. They seem to downplay Obama and his voters, jibing that his votes come in from the fazed celebrity acolytes. Looks like this time around, the people are better researched than the candidates. I have to say. I am impressed America.

The situation is pretty much reversed in our country. In our place the voters are and have always been better informed about the issues than the candidates themselves. Its always the younger generation that the politicians have a hard time handling. They don't even bother trying to placate them. They realize that they would be stumped for words if they did. Sadly the only thing we can do is to hum along to the lines of 'Waiting on the world to change' while replacing 'word' with 'government'. Till then we watch the presidential elections over in America with mixed interests and trepidation. I have been on the fence regarding the Obama/Clinton fight so far. But looking back at that video and seeing an educated, well researched voter siding with Obama for reasons which are purely objective and detached from and devoid of the traditional sensitivities which so glibly pour out in elections, I have to say I'm all whetted and moving a bit closer to the Obama camp than towards Miss Clinton's.

I'm not usually someone who resorts to strikes and have usually denounced it as a means of protest. But thats mostly because people in my place abuse its objective and power. But this was an issue I felt compelled to join in. Apparently there is going to be a strike on LJ on March 21st, the reason being some of the changes that LJ has decided to enforce. Below post taken from the journal of minty_peach

 Here's some disturbing reads:
 LJ stops the creation of new basic (adfree) accounts
Changes SUP didn't think LJ's users would notice.
 Nostalgia: LiveJournal's Greatest Fuck-Ups.

Want to protest against LJ censoring the interest pages and removing the Basic account level? Join the strike and repost this to your own journal! Everything's explained at beckyzoole 's LJ, but basically: on Friday, March 21st, we will not be posting or commenting for 24 hours. I know that's hard for us LJ dwellers, but we must in order to bring back our beloved LJ.

Hi guys. I've recorded four of my favorite passages from the books for the pottercast auditions. And since only one submission per person is admitted I'd like to hear your opinions on which one is the best. Here are the links for the mp3's.

1) As Auntie Muriel in Deathly Hallows

2) As Voldemort in GOF

3) As James in the epilogue

4) As Luna in HBP


The last date for submission is the eighth, so help me make a decision before that. I've made a poll below to make the voting easier.

P.S. I'm an Indian, so forgive the accent anomalies.

Which one of the above recordings should I send in for the pottercast troupe auditions?

As a House/Wilson shipper this post by norms should consist of a few celebratory cheers, some prodigious squeeing and a whole lot of fan girling. But in order to write a coherent review for the House/Wilson bits in this episode, I decided to inspect it a bit more objectively.

As promised, my review on Atonement. I went in to watch this movie with mixed feelings, having been disappointed with Joe wright's previous venture. I felt like he made a complete mess of Pride and Prejudice and one of the main reasons why I thought so was because of Keira Knightley. So when I heard that she was cast in the role of Cecilia, I was apprehensive about watching this movie, since I couldn't watch another great novel messed up due to her excessive giggling and jejune demeanor. But I guess I was wrong in assuming that there was no room for improvement. Everything about this movie was right, including Keira's performance, so get ready to read the most panegyric review you've ever read.

So I'm finally done polishing my new Rose/Scorpius story. Enough to post it out here anyway. So far I'm ahead by six chapters and have already planned out the ending and the basic overlay. Its called Timeless love (I know its cheesy, but it fits the plot well ). The following is the summary and its not much. I don't believe in putting the entire story on the blurb, just to interest the readers. But the following summary should give you a general idea.



Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy are bitter rivals, neither of them wanting to abridge the gap they have placed in between them. But what happens when they have already made the choices that will decide the state of their futures. Will it help them look past their prejudices and learn to see their true selves or will it inadvertently destroy their lives and the lives of those around them.


So what did you think? Too dramatic? Well I couldn't make it any less dramatic since the story takes the same tone. Anyway heres the first chapter. Read and Enjoy:)

Ever since posting my thoughts on the Da Vinci Code, I've been thinking it would be neat to review some of the movies that I watched, only the ones that I find worth mentioning though. And so the last movie that I watched upon several people's recommendation was My own private Idaho which is an independent film from 1991 and stars River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves. So here are my thoughts on it.



Next week I'm hoping to review Sweeney Todd. I'm really excited about watching it *squee*. I wonder whether I'll be able to write anything coherent though. I might end up basing an entire post on Alan singing..hmmmm..The voice..*slips into fantasy*..hehe

Heres the final chapter of Left Unsaid. Hope you like it

( Chapter nine )

So the Da Vinci Code just premiered on HBO and I couldn't resist watching the movie, despite my reservations which were mostly due to the overwhelming amount of negative reviews it garnered from the critics. Although I don't consider a critic's opinion the final word on a movie, I do consider such a resounding panning, enough reason to not watch the movie upon release. So I was lounging in my chair, with my dinner in hand, expecting a low key, tame, mawkish , extremely unimaginative version of the Dan Brown masterpiece. And I'm happy to say that I wasn't disappointed. The movie didn't prove my expectations or rather the majority of critic's opinions, wrong.
