"Why Rock?"










"Why Rock?"

Most people ask this question when they see my mail id, user id etc.

The answer I tell them is that Iam Rock Solid.

Only I know it is far from the truth.

I had a fascination for the name Rocky from my childhood. I had written an essay in 2nd Standard (7years) abou my pet dog. I had no pets then (still I don't have one) and so I wrote the essay with Rocky as my dog. I often wonder why I choose this name.

When I saw the movie Rocky and flowingly I had a relapse. I had watched the cartoon when I was really small ( may an episode or so in Doordarshan. Iam not sure) and only thing I remember was the chanting "Rockyyyy Rockyyyy" and that might embedded into my memory.

Also I became a big fan of The Rock (WWE/Movie Star) in the late 90's. I simply loved him for his Athletism and his Charisma and his Name. So in school I started to call myself Rock. This has continued till date.

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Get ready for Shyamaprasad's Rithu

His new film, Rithu (Seasons), is a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town. Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. Sunny is more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams, Sarat leaves for California to live and work. The other two take up jobs in Bangalore. Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves.  via movies.rediff.com My cousin is working on the post production of this movie and he is raving about it. His ravings and my tastes sometimes co...

Amused

Just went through the movie Shatranj Ke Khiladi ( Satyajit Ray ) came upon the following dialogue. Very Amusing and Educational to say the least! :-P Some British Officer: Also dresses up like a Hindu God, I'm told. His Junior: Yes, sir. He also composes his own operas. SBO: Doesn't leave him much time for his concubines......not to speak of the affairs of state. Does he really have 400 concubines? HJ: I believe that's the count, sir. SBO: And 29 muta wives. What the hell are muta wives? HJ: Muta wives, sir. SBO: That's temporary wives. HJ: Temporary wives. - Yes, sir. A muta marriage can last for 3 days, 3 months or 3 years. Muta is an Arabic word. SBO: -And it means temporary. HJ: No, sir. SBO: - No? HJ: It means, enjoyment, sir. SBO: Oh! Oh, yes. I see. Most instructive. Powered by ScribeFire .
