Just another post to keep things going!

So much to write - so little time and the mood to support! Actually wanted to write about quite a few things for the whole of last week and then even this week, but did not manage to make it!

Anyway - the hottest news is that Argentina is rocking!!! Argentina just beat Serbia - Montenegro by 6 goals to Nil! Foot-Ball world cup has become the most popular topic of the week and will continue to be the HOT topic till the 9th of July!

Personally, I haven't watched much of foot-ball (have given up Cricket too quite a few years back), but events like world-cup are always special - aren't they! And with the media hype (am not sure if Hype i the right word though) and the scenes and news of fans of different countries supporting their respective nations in the host country.....this looks more like a festival which the whole world is watching closely! And ofcourse a lot of money is involved too - so the business class is also watching the event quite closely! So all these and my own interest have coupled and I am following the matches, quite closely too, I should say! Not the mid-night matches, unless it is a very special one - nowadays, I dont prefer burning my mid-night oil.... :)

The other news from my side is that, I had an opportunity to meet Mr. Madan, the famous cartoonist from Chennai! It was purely accidental and the ten minutes I spent with him was pretty good, I should say! He justified his image of a 'simple, down to earth' man! With my lil knowledge on Cartoons, I did not even open my mouth regarding cartoons....I know Madan as a person with a good knowledge on a vareity of subjects! Also, Vandhargal Vendrargal, a book on History written by him is one of my favourites...so did discuss about that book with him for sometime and ofcourse spoke to him a bit about my interest in Movies and their league -
Madan himself / Sujatha / kamal / Maniratnam! He was inquiring about, what I was doing and which place I actually belonged to n all, so nice of him that he did respect me for what I am and was very encouraging!

And what else did I want to write....yeah, have drastically reduced my time online! Somehow I felt, I was spending quite a lot of time online and wanted to reduce it - as a trial run and yes, I was able to do that - quite sucessfully!

Did not make any new photos in the past week.....have quite a bit of old images and I'll need to find the time to post them here! Oooohhhh wanted to write of so many things...and I am not able to find anything in particular to write now :(

Okay - Will update as and when I find something more to write - hope to write quite a bit in the week-end......did think about a lot of things, so will have to just sit down, re-iterate and type them here. Will do that soon!

Thanks for being here and have a Great time ahead. Cheers!
