This was a question which came during our last trek ( means my first trek, hopefully not the last one ).
The question was posed to me first, I passed :)
First guy: Life is a reflection of good and bad memories, and the goal is to have more good memories.
Second guy: Is about time and priorities. Very less time, and lots of interesting things to do. Only time is constraint. Make best use of the time.
Third guy: Learn from past, and live life to the fullest.
For me - Perception of life is different each moment... some times i think as a saint, some times as a victim, sometimes as a hero.... I dont have a clear answer... But i do want to explore life more.........

Three interesting movies
Traffic ( English ): Nice inter winding stories related to war on drugs - One dedicated ( yet corrupt) officer tries to expose the drug mafia and the involvement of his boss. One judge heads the war on drugs, and also finds out that his own daughter is an addict. One rich-social wife gets surprised to know that her husband is a drug dealer when he gets arrested, but does everything to retain his drug empire. Two officers are after her and her husband wanting to expose the drug dealings. Nice movie.
Usual Suspects: Five criminals are arrested on a case involving Guns traffic. They get angry on the wrong accusations and plots revenge against police. Soon they are hired by the never seen dreadful Keysen Soze for a job. They all have done wrong to Keysen Soze unknowingly in past and this is a chance for them to make amends. They go on the mission killing everyone abroad a ship ( which turns to be suicidal also) - and with only two survivors. Who is Keysen Soze and who is the mastermind are the questions which are solved at the end.
Shawshank Redemption: A banker is accused of kiling his wife and killer and sentenced to two life terms. He comes to shawshank prison where .. ( I am too bored. I never write blogs this longer.. ). Nice movie. See it. Fear gives you prisonhood, Hope brings you freedom!!!
Hope and Dreams are the best thing in this world..

Wonderful Truck
Ooops... Despite the bad mallu accent it was a wonderful trekk...
First good memory is about the food. Coffeee day coffees, Cafe coorg coffees, Coffee pub coffees and coffees at cloud valley ( http://www.cloudvalley.net/ ) was the major part of the diet, apart from the absolutes :) And ammo the delicious food at cloud valley whether its the pork or chicken or the egg curry or the coconut idlies. Gained 10 times the calory lost from the trekk. And the stay at cloud valley was wonderful with a 1895 home in coffee estate with 3big bedrooms..
And the trekk part ( Tadianmole) was really good. Constantly told by friends that it was avery easy trekk i was in a very relaxed mindset. The only thing i had prepared mentally was to tackle the leeches. And I knew that my friends who have seen me climbing Tirupathi hills will not risk my life for a heavy trekk. This confidence i had.
So started in full JOSH with my friends lagging behind by a mile. Reached the milestone ROCK first and started removing the leeches. Then only those morons revealed that its just a base camp and the real trekk starts from there.
Suddenly the fear, anxiety, doubts all creeped in. Bringing back the willpower started climbing singing Govinda Govinda. With rest every 10mins it was going okay in a slow pace.
And then reached the area where leech heaven exists. Need to cut through a small part through the mild jungle. Because of leeches we decide to go fast without rest and as speed as possible. And that fast lap I could complete ( almost dying in the process :) ).
From there I again became Anoop at Thirupathi.. Breathing out of control.. Legs not moving... Feeling dizzy... :) But somehow gained courage and started climbing few steps at a time.
And somehow with the company of all leeches and a wonderful dog who was always with us in the trip reached the heights.....
Was feeling in heaven with all clouds around you. And rain started pouring heavily. When the salt of ur sweat reaches in ur mouth along with the rain water its a wonderful feeling.. I did it.
On the way back found lots of gangs coming up - with beautiful girls and fat uncles climbing without any fuss.. I understood my lungs have to be updated. And I will be in the process of doing that now. Yanni started music very late and became very successful, who knows K2 may be my next target.
To be continued...

I am Sam
Back to my favourite passion.. movies
Could not see "Daivathirumagal" when it was running in theatres. So decided to watch the original - "I am Sam". Very nice movie. A 7 year old daughter is taken away from her father ( who has development disability ) and it shows his fight to get her back. And in the process he inspires his lawyer also to solve all the family problems....
