Yes. I'm finally putting the list I always knew about, that always existed in the whatever-adjective-you-want that is my brain as a blog. Here goes nothin' (Ah yes, the accent and stuff :P )
# Eat non-vegetarian (*)
# Go to a cricket match in Chepauk
# Watch at least one of my favorite rock musicians live
# Meet at least one of my favorite rock musicians
# Own poster(s) of rock bands I like
# Get drunk (Yes I want to get drunk. But no, that doesn't make me a bad person, merely curious)
# Break some rule of your institution or organisation (*)
# Get PhD in something
# Author an outrageously funny book
# Have that book made into a movie and/or TV series
# Travel around the world
# Own some kick-ass phone and create jealousy among few others :D (*)
# Own a moderately big house
# Try to be selfless at least once a day
# Become a philanthropist
# Improve spelling
# Join a rock band
# Be the founding member of some other rock band
# Learn to play the guitar
# Learn to play the bass
# Keep my room clean for more than 2 weeks
# Learn random languages
# Become a critic - books, movies, music, whatever
# Befriend a Britisher
# Get super-power(s) and do absolutely nothing with it
# Be the reason someone started following some band
# Do stand-up comedy
# Live in New York, be sarcastic and make a show about life there (Seinfeld-ish)
# Make people I've been to school and/or college with think "Hey, I used to go to school (and/or college) with her" when they see me on TV being all famous and cool while all they did was waste theirs
Maybe I'm being over ambitious but I don't care. I've so much to do with my life. Got to get going to live the life that I want to live as opposed to waste it cribbing about how I badly want to live life that way. Over and out.
Arthi Appathurai.
P.S.: (*) means I've already accomplished it.

Coffee, Sugar and the Associated Energy
Compliments of a friend of mine, S. Vignesh, my blog has received some attention recently. I now have people following my blogs. So yeah, they'll get this update and wonder what I have got to say this time. Thank you for that SV :D
If you are interested, check out http://www.arthiblogsmore.blogspot.com
Yes, I blog and I blog more too.
If you're not wondering about the title, skip to end. If you are, continue reading. Sugar rush is the huge rush of energy you get after consuming too much sugar. Kids mostly have sugar rushes and when they do, they go crazy. People like me, teenage-sarcastic-eccentric girl, tend to start randomly talking under the influence of sugar. And no, all my blogs weren't written on sugar rushes. Maybe some. But not many and certainly not all. Sugar gives you this excessive amount of energy you have no way of spending and as a result of which you become hyper-active and when you're hyper-active you tend to do crazy things. Sugar rush, ladies and gentlemen.
Coffee does something similar, the strong ones anyway. The coffees I consume in India contain very low quantities of caffeine as opposed to the ones I had a chance of drinking in the US of A. Damn, just thinking about the strength gives me a headache! Anyway, coffee and tea is also known to cause similar hyper-active behavior.
I am not one to comment about energy drinks because the last energy drink I had was Complan. Yes, I was a Complan girl! But I hear they give you a lot of energy too.
I am not under the influence of strong coffee or sugar. Merely boredom. And a wee bit sleeplessness. Which seems to have vanished, magically. So in conclusion, Coffee, Sugar and the Associated Energy is a waste of both mine and your time. Thank you for wasting both of our times.

Avatar
Lots of people have been saying lots of things about Avatar. “It’s an amazing movie!” say some while others go “You just have got to see it!” and then there is this whole lot of big budget and 15 years into the making of the movie going on. So it is quite natural, more so for the extremely big movie buff as me, to want to see it. I did go see it.
Sathyam, 3D glasses, pop corn, friends and an open mind- I was ready to watch a movie. What the movie had for me was not as good as one would’ve hoped for with all that hype and all. Firstly, I’m sorry people who are “Absolutely amazed” or “Inspired” or “Totally moved” by the movie, I can’t make a promise this one’s going to make you smile. And others who thought “Well, so? What’s so great?” I can promise you a smile at the end of this.
Secondly, and on a more important note, let’s face it, the plot’s simple. It’s almost as if Mr. Cameron stole the story off a 5th grader’s English paper. And after seeing some ulti movies in my life, the story was way too predictable; it was a simple plot- no interesting but sneaky twists, just plain straightforward story. And the dialogs, geez, such corny dialogs! I mean is this a movie or a movie about how to write corny dialogs for every situation? The dialog defines corniness and cheesiness, to a very large extent. In future, when kids are taught how to write good dialogs, I can only hope this movie would prove to be a class long thing on how not to write dialogs. For the kind of dialogs in this movie, its best seen 15 years ago. One can only think “Well somebody was paid big bucks to write such corny stuff” while hearing the dialogs in this movie. The audiences are not a bunch of corniness craving people you know? The word “intelligence” is tossed around a lot these days. I think it's about time Mr. Cameron got to know about it!
All that big budget and 15 years has been fruitful, with respect to the visual effects and the general presentation of the movie. Save the embarrassment of having to wear grandma sized glasses to see its awesomeness, it was a visual treat, no doubt. It is definitely the next step to animation. And yes Pandora looked nice. But no, that is not reason enough to call a movie “amazing” or anything on those lines. But it is definitely a sure catch in theaters, because it's no fun watching it at home in DVD, 15 years of work and big money is lost in that case.
