Grey's Anatomy 7.13

I am a huge huge Grey's Anatomy fan. I love the show for a lot of reasons, but that's for another post! Anyways, Grey's airs every Thursday (Friday in M'sia) in the US and people outside US usually get to watch it after around 6 hours on websites that offer streaming of the show.

I used to watch it on friday afternoons, but the power of internet is such that for the past few months I have been watching it live. I love talking about this show and discussing it but not many of my friends really follow this show. So, to vent my feelings about the stories in this show, I thought that I would post mini-reviews sort of a thing after every other episode.

So, now regarding today's episode; it's titled "Don't Deceive Me". Callie Torres is preggers with Mark Sloan's baby and quite surprisingly, her 'lesbian lover', Arizona agreed to stay with her and help raise the baby. Meanwhile, things didn't go so well with Lexie. I mean, it's quite natural to get pissed if your boyfriend sleeps with his BFF when you were not exactly together, and then when you get back with him, he lets you know that Callie is carrying his baby.

That's exactly how you go from being like THIS:


to THIS:



within 45 minutes!

Mark was undeniably happy when he heard that Callie was having his baby and he decided that he will be there with Callie and support her through this. He even went to the extent and proposed marriage but thank God Callie threw that idea away making Mark realize that he can't really marry Callie because guess what, he's in love with Lexie! And then he manages to cringe thinking about how he's gonna break the news to Lexie. But, I do get why he brought up marriage, he probably thought that that was the right thing to do in regards to the baby, but whatever.

I was basically devastated.Being a huge shipper of this couple, Mark & Lexie. As much as I don't want them to break up, I totally get why Lexie reacted the way she did. While cooking dinner, Mark told Lexie the dreaded news.
"How the hell did you get me in this position TWICE"
was all Lexie had to say to Mark.Halway through last season, Mark's grandson whom he voluntarily wanted to raise up (without discussing it with Lexie) broke them up because Lexie wasn't ready to be a mother/grandmother.It took almost one whole season for this two characters to get back on track.Plus they were together for only 2 episodes, and all hell broke loose and ripped them apart! What a great way to crush millions of fans and shippers, don't you think!

I am extremely emotional right now, because for the past 2 season, I have been patiently waiting for a beautiful storyline for Mark/Lexie. They are two amazing, not to mention gorgeous characters that are totally made for each other. And, the thought of them being apart is hurting me. No, I am not kidding. It's seriously hurting me inside. I know, I would never have believed that I would be so invested in a TV show like this,but what can I say? I am just keeping my fingers crossed that both of them will get back together asap.

AR Rahman = Amazingness

I have been online the whole time this whole week. Anyways, found this beautiful video and it's Naan Varuvene by AR Rahman. Watch it and feel the amazingness of AR Rahman. :)

Stuck in My Head!

It's been quite some time since I posted anything related to music, and this is just the right time.
As the title suggests, for the past couple of months, there have been a number of songs that got stuck in my head. I am not complaining, but seriously, who would want songs playing in their head when they are in the middle of answering their finals.

Anyways, let's just get straight to the list.
  • Cry Cry from Jhoota Hi Sahi - This one's by AR Rahman. I wasn't too impressed with our "Oscar Hero" 's composition for Enthiran ( they were good but not mindblowing) but I must say that he's back. I love those slow, soul-catching songs that he comes up with and this song is up there with the likes of Kabhi Kabhi Aditi (Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na) and Masakkali (Delhi 6).
  • Yathe Yathe, Ayyayayo & Otha Sollala from Aadukalam - These 3 songs are from the same movie, composed by GV Prakash. Yathe Yathe and Ayyayayo are simply beautiful, melodious and haunting (to a certain degree). They are by far one of the best works of GVP, in my opinion. Otha Sollala is more of a kuthu type of song that might not be everyone's cup of tea but I enjoy it thoroughly!
  • Bathing at Cannes & Nenjil Nenjil from Engeyum Kaathal - Harris Jeyaraj just does it every time. I can't recall any movie of his without at least one beautiful song. Bathing at Cannes is a beautiful rap song.Ya, I never thought I would say this, but it is a beautiful rap song, with our very own Malaysian, Emcee Jesz. Nenjil Nenjil is typical Harris Jeyaraj music, but some or rather makes me wanna listen to it again and again.
  • Ennamo Yedho from Ko - Harris Jeyaraj with Emcee Jesz again. But trust me, this is not a rap song. Atleast not a typical one.
For those music-lovers out there, check these songs out and let me know if you like them too.
