My brain, car windows and other random shit

I always wonder what I should blog about. I always start out writing something nice and then I back out. Its this fear on the back of my mind. My brain keeps forcing me to evaluate myself continuously and it makes sure I wont make any mistake. It keeps correcting me and doesnt let me take a leap of faith. So just to force my brain to surrender I will make mistakes and I will type whatever I want. I dont care about grammer and spelling mistakes for now I'm not writing a novel. Just go with flow. Whatever comes to my mind I wil just vomit it out.

There no need to thnk about what I'm writing cuz I dont see the point. I'm not writing a novel here. Its just a bloody blog. Hell not many even read this stuff. So I will continue writing random shit.

Today I will tell a random story. I was driving in my car to office (as I do everyday) and there waas this feeling of nakedness. NO. I wore my clothes. Inners outers everything. The nakedness I was talking about was because I had to remove the dark film on my car window because of that new rule in Hyderabad. Google it out. I dont have the patience to explain all that stuff. I'm busy typing. 

Now I'm feeling very tired. I think its time I go to bed. Good night.

My Horoscope

So I was checking out my horoscope the other day and I found this-

So I'm a Stubborn Asshole. Perfect. Even though there's more to me than those two words. I cant help but agree that it fits.

And yes the horoscope predicted correctly about others too.

When we believe all the positive shit written in different horoscopes. I see nothing wrong in reading something like this. And horoscopes are biased. They don't tell you bad things generally (or they just keep it to a bare minimum) and they generalize the good stuff. It's just like reading a warm self-help book. Very motivating.

So to summarize an already small blog post, all I want to say is horoscopes suck. Good night.

Shirdi Sai Review

I'm not really a devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba, but I do like the philosophy he advocates, of which the core is "Sab ka maalik ek" (Meaning "We all have only one master.")

Ofcourse this was not the reason why I went to the movie. I had to go because Mom wanted to watch it. So that's that. Never say no to mom.

Anyway the movie is about Shirdi Sai (duh!), his origins, miracles and events leading to his demise. It has Nagarjuna playing the lead role and is directed by the "Devotional Filmmaker" K. Raghavendra Rao.

I felt the movie was pretty interesting. I'm not a huge fan of devotional movies. I would love to watch them but these Tollywood people add lots of useless silly humor which makes it a pain. Even Shirdi Sai had many such silly moments which didn't make me laugh AT ALL.

Yeah. It was that silly.

It was solely Nagarjuna's performance that lifted the movie to another level. His depiction of Sai Baba was very accurate and you could feel that serenity in his performance.

The director Raghavendra Rao did a decent job with the movie. He is already an expert making devotional films on a large scale and it shows here. He was able to balance the mythological and philosophical aspects which made the movie pretty interesting.

But the director failed to clarify the origin of Sai Baba. Who were his parents? Where was he born? These are left open. Raghavendra Rao could have taken liberties in showing a good origin story, since he had already taken several "creative liberties" in other aspects of the film.

Overall it was a good watch. Of course I'm sure it wont convert people into devotees of Sai Baba (Which wasn't the intention anyway). But it will definitely give a better understanding of the life of Sai Baba and his unique philosophy which was quite radical for that time period.
