Pradeep Vijay... way to go man!!!


I met this guy in the finals of a TV show called RAGAMALIKA... we were opponents.. and he came out as the winner of the show and i was the runner up... we became real good friends.
This fellow rocks... He is an amaaazing singer. To quote haricharan "HE IS A SOOOOOOPERB SINGER WITH ANTARES AUTO TUNER" lol.... this guy has amazing sense of pitch...
I went to his concert today, and i enjoyed it thoroughly even though i am not a great lover of carnatic music....
He is simply superb... and i know one day he is gonna make it big... real big... hope he doesnt forget me then....

F.R.I.E.N.D.S


The last four months i have been watching the FRIENDS sitcom. A friend of mine lent me all the ten seasons. I saw every episode. And in these four months i got into it.. the characters were so alive and friends became a part of my life. My daily routine would be : college.. back home... watch friends.. eat.. sleep.
By the time i was watching the 3rd season, i was so into it that i would even go eight hours at a stretch watching the episodes. I am awed by the sheer simple concept and yet how so interesting and hilarious each episode is. I wish i had friends like that. I wish i had a place like central perk where i could hang out with them...
Ross geller, Rachel greene, Monica geller, Chandler bing, Joey tribbiani & Phoebe buffay... i just cant pick one favorite character... all of them are splendid in their own way. The people that really ought to be thanked here for creating such amazing characters are marta Kauffman and David Crane.
I saw the last episode of FRIENDS a few days back...

Monica: Oh, honey, I forgot. I promised Treeger that we'd leave our keys.

Chandler: Oh, okay.

(Chandler and Monica walk over to the kitchen-counter and leave their keys. Then the other four pick out their keys and leave them as well.)

Phoebe: So, I guess this is it.

Joey: Yeah. I guess so.

Monica: (crying) This is harder than I thought it would be.

Chandler: Oh, it's gonna be okay.

(Chandler hugs her. Monica hugs Ross and Rachel as Chandler gets the stroller with the twins.)

Rachel: (crying) Do you guys have to go to the new house right away, or do you have some time?

Monica: We got some time.

Rachel: Okay, should we get some coffee?

Chandler: Sure. Where?

(They all leave the apartment. Joey helps Chandler with the stroller in the hallway, while Monica and Rachel have their arms around each other. Everybody walks downstairs to Central Perk. The camera goes inside the apartment again, and it pans around. We see the keys on the counter, and the final shot is of the frame around the peephole. The screen fades to black.)


only then i realized.... no more friends again... no more of them... and that thought made tears roll down my cheek... these four months they have had a huge impact on me... it was not just a sitcom for me... i felt as if they were all my fiends too and they were leaving me.... i wiped the tears and played the last scene again and again... when i saw that apartment empty, my heart felt empty... and all i could do was wave them goodbye......
