oscars

i love watching the Oscars. i love movies. one of the things i look in retrospect to is the "in memorial". the actors who passed away this year always puts me in a mournful and sorrow mood. last year was especially hard. i am beginning to realize that i know more and more of the people on that screen. i have been on this earth for 27 years and that is time enough (with my voracious appetite for movies) to have a seen a bunch of them.
Brittany Murphy, Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze were this year's people who i knew well from movies and popular cinema. Last year was the joker from batman (heath ledger) and a year before that was peter boyle.

On a more joyous note, I also love how this year the sound has been given a more important role. I think it is very important and in my eyes (no pun intended) plays a more crucial part in the experience of cinema. I try to watch a movie at least once a week. More often it is 3-5 movies a week. and Soundtracks make me more happy than anything else.

by michael crichton

liked it. seems like more of a arthur hailey kind of book. tells a lot about the aeroplane industry. kind of set in the 80's so its a bit dated for reading it now.

just finished reading it a second time. wasn't as impressed as i was the first time. i guess that's expected. the novelty of time travel is gone since i have known the story. i like the romanticized thought of andre marek staying back in history to enjoy it.

Guys,



I mentioned this book a while back but I don’t know if anyone remembers (since no one ever listens to what I say J ). Anyway, I read this book many years ago and remember it as being quite a fun read. Here’s the link to the preface/first chapter:-

chaos theory

my take on it

Chaos Theory Jurassic Park

bk

that was the name i was called by in school (2nd to 10th class). the explanation everyone gave me and i later gave everyone for that nickname is that there were other sandeep's in school and they dint want to confuse me with them. at that time i readily accepted it and was even happy about it. not that i am disapproving of that name, but i can't, for the hell of me, remember any other sandeep's in my class in all those years.
in case you were trying to guess what bk means, it is bhimavarapu krishna
