Weekend

This weekend so many things happened. I managed to meet one my classmates after 12 years! Her name is Nancy - and I spoke to her over the phone. She is in Chennai working for the singapore tourism board. Spoke to her for quite a long time about our happy old school days and then we started discussing about luv and my never ending luv stories! :) . She was shocked to hear all my luv stories and culdnt believe that I am the old Arjuna! :)) Through her I managed to get some of my friends and one of them is Vanitha - she was the only girl I used to talk to during my school days and she was the only one who understood and supported me (its very rare gals understand me - lol). All the other girls used to think I am quite odd - since I never spoke to them..And she used to support me :). I will try to get hold of her within the next week. Then my RECT college mate Yamini msged me through Orkut. She is doing her PhD here at Swansea and she gave me a call and it was fun talking to her too. Saturday evening I went to see Da Vinci Code. Quite a good film - and if you havent read the novel - then its quite hard to understand the facts since they dont show all the facts that were incorporated in the book. And also the film is more of a diplomatic approach unlike the novel. The actors in the film were apt and u wont believe Silas moved me! I felt so sorry for him - his devotion to God really moved me. I was bit emotional. The heroine has the best smile I have ever come across!So contagious! Absolutely beautiful!Just go and see her smile!In the movie - there is a dialogue praising her smile - and I completely concur with it :). Tom Hanks has underplayed his role as Robert Langdon and he was impressive..All the characters were good. There were some continuity problems when Tom hanks cuts his face with a razor accidently (in the final climax) and in the next scene u cant see any cut! I really felt sorry for Mary Magdalene and I have a feeling that the story could be true!

The interesting part is the jewish symbol which is also the symbol of Lord Muruga ( I wrote a post on it before - its here). In this novel - they say it represents the male and female unity - and I am wondering whether this symbolizes the Ardhanareeshwar as well. Need to look into it - maybe a discussion with Sriram wuld be apt!
