I was watching the movie The last Kiss the other day, its a movie about how four friends in their late 20s break their love life and what decisions they make to get back to normal life. If you get a chance to watch this movie dont miss it. There is one quote in the movie that I felt was really worth a mention

Every asshole in the world says he loves somebody, it means nothing. What you feel only matters to you, its what you do to the people you say you love, thats the only thing that matters.

I opened the okrut homepage to see that it is under construction! No reason, no update, no estimated time of ‘back to service’, nothing. This is so un-Google like. All other Google services i have been using announce anykind of updates or downtime before hand and announce when it is going to be back to normal. This is a social networking service, where people come to meet/talk to other people. How can they be so irresponsible?

orkut is under construction.
please check back soon (=

Update: They have acknowledged the downtime thats something good but no reason for the downtime which is very bad.

A wikipediholic or wikiholic or wikipediaholic is someone with a serious addiction to anything involving the words “Wiki” and/or “Pedia” in the same word or sentence. It is often considered an obscure form of OCD. One of the main, and most common characteristics of the condition is the victim having a web browser window constantly open to the Recent Changes section of Wikipedia (or in the condition’s slightly milder form, one’s Watchlist), and pressing the “Reload” or “Refresh” button with a high frequency. Others click the “random page” button instead. It can lead to a serious decrease in productivity in all other areas of the victim’s life, like any other addiction.

Marphant at Wikipedia has created a tool which automatically tells you how much you are addicted to Wikipedia. This is a nice mod to the original test by Wikipedia which can be found here. I dont think you are going to take the test unless you are really a Wikipediholic or you are the one of the geekest geeks because the test has around 768 questions.

And these are the warnings at the beginning of the test page

Give yourself at least an 50 minutes because there are more than 768 questions!

You might have noticed by now that many people are shouting: Daniel Craig is Bond GOD!

Well what I felt is he lacked the style or may be didnt get a chance to show his style (we always forget about the Director, they are the ones who make the film not the Hero) but seemed to have suited the role pretty well

Casino Royale wasnt a very good movie though. The first half of the movie forces you not to blink your eyes while the second half seemed boring to me because I didnt know the card game Bond plays at the Casino but what I colud understand was that they were playing with lots of money and may be they should have talked less about the little finger and armour

But the reviews are against what I said because the average rating as computed by Google is 4.2/5 which represents good, very good infact

As a blogger I was curious to see how other bloggers reacted because now-a-days blogs are synonymous with free speech, a simple search revealed that many people seem to have praised the movie

But you are not me, so dont go by what I said, watch the movie and see how it compares with my review.

Just trying to be nice to Bond

The Formula1 hero of the current generation, the man who used to be in the news everytime there is a race has retired from motor racing

But his last race was a memorable one for me and every Schumi fan. He just drove with such determination, started 10th after a fuel pressure problem in qualifying then moved into position6 and then to p5 where he had a tyre puncture, was forced into the pits rejoined at last place and with his fierce driving ended the race at p4. If he had not been blocked by Fisicella and Kimi for those few  laps he would have definitely been on the podium at brazil, his last ever F1 race.

Schumacher will be replaced by Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari and check these cool comments from him at autosport

Q. If you had one dollar to bet on the world championship next year, would you put it on Kimi Raikkonen or Felipe Massa?

MS: I don’t bet

Q. Michael, any regrets in your career?

MS: I think it is pretty clear that if you have a chance to do certain things twice in life, you may do them different.

Fueled by a burning desire to win, he always drove for the win no matter where he starts on the grid.

I have been following F1 from a very recent time and it seems that I have missed a lot really a lot of Schumacher. The only miracle I would expect to happen now is Schumacher returning to F1 next season but he seems to be firm about his decision

Q. Is your retirement decision final, or can we expect a comeback to racing like Mika Hakkinen and Niki Lauda. Also, can you envisage what you will with your life outside of racing?

MS: Yes, I don’t make a decision if I don’t think I need to make a decision. My decision has been taken, it has been expressed, so there is no reason to change that decision. What is going to be my life afterwards? I don’t know. I have told many times that I don’t feel like I should know

Please comeback Schumi , we are praying for you!
