November 2005


Yeah, be prepared to face another round of heavy rainfall. The Met. department here at Chennai have issued cyclone warning and heavy rainfall for the next 48 hours.

Here is the Cyclone warning issued by them:

Yesterday’s depression over Southeast Bay moved westwards and intensified into a cyclonic storm lies centred at 0830hours IST of 29th November at about 800 Kilometers East Southeast of Chennai. It is likely to intensify further and move in a West Northwesterly direction towards North Tamilnadu – South Andhra coast.

India Vs Sri Lanka Test Match from Dec. 2
The Test match against Sri Lanka starts on Dec, 2. A low pressure is formed in the Bay of Bengal, 700 Kms from Chennai and it might rain from tomorrow evening.

TNCA was to sell the season tickets from 27th Nov. (Sunday), then they postponed to 29th and now they postponed to 30th. I don’t think anyone will be interested in the season tickets as it might rain for the next 48 hours. Also the clause:”No refund will be made under any circumstances” warns the juntas.

Lets hope that we have a game at Chennai without the Rain being the Man of the match!

Things can’t go any worse!
There was no rain for the past two days here in Chennai and TN, and now might face a heavy downpour. Already the roads are battered, drainage water mixing with rain water, water logging, rail tracks and services affected, bridges “broken”, accidents and over 160+ rain related deaths et al and atleast things can’t go any worse..at least we are mentally prepared this time around.

The Pepsi cup 2005 between Ind and SA was drawn with each team having won two games each.

India wins

India wins the fifth ODI at Mumbai
The toss played a crutial part and Dravid after winning the toss had no hestitation is batting first. India had won half the battle. India were on pressure to win this encounter having lost the previous outing at Eden Gardens.

They did fairly good job by restricting the South Africans to just 221. After that it’s going to a matter of time, just batting for 50 overs will see them achieve the target.

Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj made sure that India won the match and draw levels in the series. Dravid was the the Man of the Match for his unbeaten 78.

Yuvraj and Smith share the Man Of The Match
They scored same number of runs in this series with the batting same average as well! They share a Ford Fiesta car(or is Ford giving two cars?).Yuvraj was in form right from the last game against the Sri Lankans and it was good for India that he was in good touch through out this series.

The Test series against Sri Lanka starts on Dec, 2. A low pressure is formed in the Bay of Bengal, 1000 Kms from Chennai and it might rain from tommorow evening. Lets hope that we have a game at Chennai without the Rain being the Man of the match!

Anyways, India have won against SA, it’s time to party and move on..

Heat

Heat review

Genre: Action / Crime

This movie got the best cast and they come face to face as well! Al pacino (Cop) and Robert De Niro (robber) star in this beauty and they come face to face for only two time in the movie. First time they meet, they talk their preoccupation and inability to have a personal life. At the end they just have that. The second time they come face each other is at the end of the movie and one of the die and yet they don’t like what they did. Both De niro and Pacino did a good job. Al Pacino shed tears at the end of the movie and he was amazing. The two sequences are well connected.

This movie has the best shoot-out, it’s not the one which we will see in the usual type with macho men shooting each other…it had a small hot

A thrilling finale
The best part of the movie is when De niro comes out of a hotel (after murdering) and just when he wanted to lead a good life, Pacino comes, De Niro leaves the women he wanted to live with and gives him a chase to the LA airport..where a good thriller awaits us.. Has a emotional finish as well.

Final word:
Heat is one of the best cop and robber movie I have seen. It’s a 171 minutes epic and worth watch every second of it. Being a Pacino and De Niro fan I can’t be more than happy.

9.5/10
