reflections on 2006

2006 started off with a bang.
the first day we flew from california to back home.
a good friend's father died suddenly.
i turned 20 (egads).
my sister became a teenager and is definitely showing symptoms.
i somehow barely survived 4 history classes and statistics.
i had the most boring desk job ever.
i went to india.
i did really really well taking 3 history classes and econ.

i don't think anything stands out in my mind particularly as memorable. but it wasn't a bad year.

movies of 2006:
telugu -
Bommarillu
Godavari

hindi -
kabhi alvida na kehna
lage raho munnabhai
omkara
rang de basanti

english -
every animated film that came out: cars, over the hedge, happy feet, ice age: the meltdown, etc.
i have to think about this...

songs of 2006:
telugu -
songs from Bommarillu
songs from Godavari
songs from Pokiri
songs from Pournami
songs from Athadu

hindi -
it wasn't a great year for hindi movies i honestly have to say

english -
i have to agree with the billboard top 10 albums and the vh1 top 40 countdown of 2006.
top 10 albums

wikipedia has a nice overview of all things 2006

----
what to look forward to in 2007:
turning 21
GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE!
getting a job
joining the real world
TANA 2007 (meeting mahesh babu)

here's hoping for 2007 to be even better and brighter!

Happy New Year to all of you!

Share your memories with me =)

what is your 2007 movie list?

Last week i went to watch Annavaram starring pavan kalyan.. he has really tested my patience..

Bookworm said...

yeah Pavan Kalyam makes odd movies. I didn't even like Khushi that much. Hmm I want to see Aata.

Landed here from Srinivas's site. I am surprised that you didn't find any interesting Hindi songs in 2006. Omkara songs with heady rustic feel were good. Guru songs were good too. (what about himesh r? :)

Bookworm said...

hmm perhaps i should check out the omkara songs. guru songs i heard some - i liked the one tera bina song. i don't think they're as good as the old a.r rehman songs though.

you have to admit some telugu songs in 2006 were exceptional and far better than hindi ones.
