Life is Scary. Get used to it.
There are no magical fixes. Its all upto you.
So, get off the keiser, get out of here and start working.
Nothing in this world thats worth having, comes easy.

Scrubs Season 4
Scrubs Season 7
In your face…John Dorian and the rest of the staff of Sacred Heart are back for a final season. Scrubs season 7 starts on the 18th of October, part of the comedy thursday’s line up along with My Name is Earl, The Office and 30 Rock.
Resuming my celebration of the one of the most hilarious shows ever made, random Scrubisms will be tossed in good measure.
The X-ray shown in the title sequence was hung backwards for most of the seasons 1–5. The reason behind it being that the then-interns were relatively inexperienced and clueless, which was eventually revealed to be a fib by Zach Braff, who admitted the error to be unintentional. The error was finally rectified by Dr. Kim Briggs ( Elizabeth Banks), the Urologist J.D dates ( My Urologist, Season 5, Episode 23) , who steps into the credits and turns the X-ray around saying “ Thats backwards, Its been bugging me for years”.
Cinema Overdoso?
I have subjected myself to a lot of movies this year. The convenience of having a theater 10 minutes from home furthered the cause. I normally dont review the movies I watch, the music I hear or the books I read as there are a lot of people who are doing that, and performing a great job as well. However, the thought of compiling a list of some of the better movies I have seen over the last few months has always been hovering around, partly due to the reason that I know many who have been missing out on quite a few of them. I just hope that a few words could make them a little aware.
Here’s my best of the bunch.
1) Ratatouille
Pixar have always had my respect among animation studios for quite sometime. Their channel of story telling, which appeals to both kids and the kids in adults respecitvely, incorporate a time tested approach. What makes them stand out are the novel charecterizations and a small sense of genuinity which makes viewers relate to them. Add to that, as-real-as-it-gets animations, brilliant wit and a great voice cast makes them movies lipsmacking, which is exactly the word to describe this tale of an ambitious rodent who takes Paris’s culinary world by storm.2) Ocean’s Thirteen
I thought Ocean’s 11 was a blast, the sequel was Ho-Hum. The boys finally wrapped it up with a worthy third outing. Great acting, a breezy narrative proved the major plusses. My favorite moment? Clooney and Pitt getting teary eyed over Oprah.
3) Cheeni Kum
Sarcasm found two hours of screen time, and we had a blast. Watch it for Amitabh and Tabu’s performances and some good music.4) 1408
One of the scariest movies I have seen. More than whats going on the screen, the anticipation of whats going to happen creeps you further.5) Live Free or Die Hard
Yippee-Ki-Yay! Need I say more. Bruce Willis, balder, bitter and brittle kicks terrorist butt fourth time around.
6) Spiderman 3
Wasnt comparable to its predecessors but did salvage some pride on its own.
Of Opinions, Winks and Sense
I intend to be a little more opinionistic from now on and would love to contribute writing which burgeon healthy argument and amalgamate innovative views. So if you take a minute to read what I have written, take another 30 seconds to tell me about it. It could be bouquets or brick bats, either ways I will fire on all cylinders to make you spend more than a minute the next time you drop by. Also, I perceive this beyond just a space to write whats on top of my head. Remember the zeitgeist?
Random Rambles of the day...
Non verbal communication has become such an interspersed part of our lives. Throughout a working day, smiles, winks and nods contribute a lot to the way we navigate it. Much as we love one of these thrown our way, lets be generous in paying it forward.
My 2 cents on the most hyped product on screen this year, the one thats been on all the channels for the last two months and on the minds of movie watching tamilians for the last 2 years. Watch it if the boss means the world to you, its not worth a visit to the theater expecting more, considering the abundance of talent. I learnt it the hard way. Oh you thought I was talking about the iPhone? Now, thats another evening well spent.
A brave soul happened to express HER 2 cents and what a revolution it created..More than a 1000 comments from en iniya tamil makkal. Lectures, advice, dhamkis and death threats. Way to go. Each comment exhaustive than the previous one, I felt like that history exams in high school were just doodles.
Every one has a right to his or her opinion and chooses to express it. Say your thought on the movie or the writing, refrain from putting an individual down. If you think all of this would make him or her change their mind, its the equivalent of heading down an unlit one way street with no clue whats ahead.
The lady fights back..A lone hobbit against a multiplying army of orcs..in splendid style. Catch the action here.

Progress in Healthcare
Julio Frenk, the former health minister of Mexico asserted that healthcare is a right and not a commodity or privelege during his commencement address at the Harvard School of Public Health.
" The premise that all human lives have the same value and that health systems must represent instances where everybody, regardless of gender, race, national origin, or socio economic status, must recieve similar treatment for similar needs"
Eventhough the power of science has reached a pinnacle, millions of people die unneccessarily from preventable and treatable diseases. A lot of countries have rural communities without doctors, while urban communities are prevalent in the same country with unemployed physicians. Developing countries recieve large amounts of funds for aid, but these funds are rendered ineffective due to the migration of the intellectual capital. Healthcare is so expensive, that it could impoverish people at the same health is important in the fight against poverty. Frenk felt that these issues could be addressed by developing evidence based policies and transforming ideals into "bases" for coherent action.
