Ultimate Frisbee was totally ultimate this weekend. We had a good game. Played for more than an hour. The next step by default was to go to Murugan Idli Shop at the end of the road for a sumptuous breakfast.
Then Saturday was suddenly slow. My car was longing for a good wash and wax polish. So I decided not to deny him a good wash (in Spanish, car is masculine and bikes are feminine - did you know that?). Anyway, I decided to go and watch July 4 - the latest Dilip movie from Mallu Land. Nice songs but hopeless storyline. During the movie, I could figure out that the music director had actually borrowed a few notes from other popular music that I know of.
Five Point Someone was the next attraction for the day. I didnt imagine that it would attract so much attention from the chennai theater enthusiasts. well, my friends were telling me that they never got to see the Yo Girls in chennai and they were all there. Pretty teens to Beautiful ladies - all of them. Any spec you came up with, there was atleast one match. Back to the play - it was amazing. All the characters were given equal importance. In fact, there were a few IITians in the play. Neha and Hari pulled it off big time on stage. The way the Prof's daughter looks at the student is just the way it happens in most schools I guess. Vidyuth who was the narrator - i think he is also part of the chennai runners group - was just right in doing his task. Even though the whole play was totally the book, the adaptation was extremely good. The play took a decent dig at commerce students.
On Saturday, we also managed to squeeze in an alumni-current batch meeting. the current batch was back for term 2 break after a rough and tough fight with markstrat. there is another meeting - the official one that ISB is organizing in Chennai. That will be during the first weekend of August.
"1001 ways to find out if she is the right one" - thats the title of the book i am trying to search for in my latest quest for knowledge. and it is a mad mad world. sometimes i feel like a peeled orange in a juicer ready to be crushed or squeezed. do i really want all that i want - that's something i got to discover. i think i have opened a huge pandora box. life's like that.

More theater and Myself
I continue my review about the play I saw on Sunday. I realized that I had forgotten a few things. Though the play was highly practical and has a strong yet silent message, there were umpteen number of breaks in the play that disturbed the flow. There was a scene change almost every 2-3 minutes and after a point it was rather annoying. I can understand that whatever was done is perhaps justified but maybe the director could have worked out a better way.
Some Chennai Theater goers, especially the ones that land up to watch Tamil Theater - SUCK. They have no etiquette. Rather, they'd think that etiquette is a new ticket that they could buy. Even after announcements to switch off mobile phones, people were busy answering calls. Some entered the hall after 20 mins and then also walked out in the middle. Then there were few who gave laudatory comments after certain dialogs. WTF is wrong with these people. They just couldn't shut their mouth. I hope more people in chennai read this and a general opinion spreads. People really need to be well mannered and respect the efforts put in by the production team.
Yesterday, I was speaking to my cousin who lives in the UK. Somehow she had heard that something other than the usual was happening with my life. After a while she asked me the million dollar question, rather questions I would say - Are you ready? Do you know that the person is THE right one? I was like Hmmm - It depends (like the typical MBA answer), maybe or maybe not. The situation was really like Shah Rukh Khan in Dil To Pagal Hai, when he asks Dixit - "How will I know? Will she hold a placard and tell me Hi, its me and I am the one". And then Dixit says - "He will tell you" and points to the Sky (what she meant is God or the Spirit of whatever). That time it sounded absolutely funny and it even now does. I think this feedback mechanism works for love at first sight. For people who have been through that first sight thing many times, its does not give a steady state answer. And generally, a question like this is mostly a complex polynomial equation with too many variables and dependencies. There is definitely an objective function, followed by certain assumptions and criteria. Ask me and I will never have a perfect answer. Because thats me.
