RIP King of Pop
Funny how one can suddenly feel so heavily at loss and so fortunate too at the sametime. Lohithadas (54) and Michael Jackson (50), great artists, geniuses, passed away this week. Lekshmi and I once spoke about how we are so lucky as a generation to experience the genius of such artists and even wondered whether we ever will have people like them again: Mammooty, Mohanlal, Tom Hanks, Kamal Hasan, Steven Spielberg, Roger Federer, Obama, Yesudas, Chitra – a few that came to mind at awe by the wonders of their work and persona.
Our generation did miss out on the likes of Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru, Lincoln, Martin Luther King. I’m glad that we as a society do understand the need for preserving history and passing on the greatness of such people to younger generations. Oh please, whoever’s in charge, do take care of all that is left of these demised souls (finished and unfinished work, artefacts etc). I pray for the King of Pop to Rest In Peace and thank him for bringing in me the love for music(I think ‘beat it’ is the first song I ever hummed in my life!).
How many kilometers are there from Washington DC to Miami beach?
The answer to “How many kilometers from Washington DC to Miami beach”?
“I am the answer!! Kilometers and Kilometers. In these days of degenerating decency of Miami beach to Washington when diplomacy and supercity become interchangeable from complicated America to America!”
“I am the answer!” – Mohanlal, da King who had it bac then.
Boy Boy Boy – this has to be the funniest scene ever in the history of malayalam cinema!.. I must have seen this video about thirty times now, 4 in this sitting!.. Each time I see it I discover a new element to get me dead(again!) wit laughter.. People, all u mallu brothas n sistas out there, tis is one scene for which I thank my parents for being Malayalees 
.. Having watched this so many times, i could bring out many subtle parts which may go unnoticed while ur ribs are tickled until they’ve literally blocked your lungs!
But my fav, the part which I wait for, when my body moves not an inch, with unabated breath: After Mohanlal finishes his answer for “How many kilometers from Washington DC to Miami beach”, and gettin all due applause from Jagathy, our Srinivasan screams the all famous Mallu ‘Stop it!’ .. This is when u GOT to keep ur eyes on Mohanlal heh heh.. He’s jus finished making a neat boastful 360 degree turn after his power answer – jus in time to receive the ‘Stop it!’.. I go berserk wit laughter when I see Mohanlal save his leg(and stay in that position for sometime) for fear of receivin Srini’s saliva-enriched “Stop it!” heh heh ROFL .. God bless these actors, for they have given me somethin that can cheer up the worst of my days.
Go have urself a funny day!
