Madarasapattinam !!

Hi,

Awesome is not the word enough for a movie taken with a lot of research, perfect characters, right amount of acting and beautiful romance.

Madrasapatinam was a surprise packaged movie with all in right elements. It was astray Thursday afternoon my cousin and I decided we would go for this film as i had open tickets at Inox. I called my nephew along too and we went. The 3 15 show was booked... We stayed around there to see if there were any cancellations and there we got Rs10 tickets at 3:10 to watch the movie.. Though it was the Front row, the theatre was good enough to even mask that flaw.

So, we settled and there started the journey to the classic city in the 1940s... My own city Chennai a.k.a. Madras(at that time). Right from the sets erected to the lighting up of the Central Station, Ive never seem my own Chennapatinam being shown so beautifully. The movie was a very simple story line set in the independence era in the lines of Lagaan showcased in a beautiful manner. The roads, to the images of old Madras still stands fresh in every viewers mind. The old Spencers&co now Spencers Plaza, Walltax road, Central Tower, Ripon buildings and not to forget our very Own Adyar River(Cooum).. Though it pains to see that these things don exist anymore, the other side of me feels happy that I live in the place which was like this.. The movies highlights is surely the Cinematography, awesome portrayal, Background score and the best being the showcasing of boundless love and romance... The color tones used in the movie makes us differentiate the times and also gives a realistic feel..

The lead starts Arya and Amy Jackson have done excellent jobs.. The way the love between them has been portrayed so so well that other directors need to beg to know how to show love(of the(literal transalation of the thamizh saying.. Pichai edukanum idha kathuka)... Language is no barrier for love.. Both of their eyes convey thousand unsaid things.. The song Pookal Pookum tharunam has become my ringtone and one of those songs which make you listen to them over and again..

A small minus in this movie would be a little bit of Dragging in the second half which can be forgiven..

Hats off to everyone in that team who really worked hard to give is such a wonderful movie.. It makes me happy to realize that Good Director like Vijay still exist and great movies like this are still being made... Thus I came out of the movie hall with utmost Satisfaction, my beautiful city and the song Pookal pookum tharunam ringing memories in my mind...

Cheers

Whats in a BABY !!!

Hey,

All of us like babies a lot but whats in it to so Aw about !!!? Don mistake me.. Even i Aw at babies. This question of mine which was in the back of my head for so many days got answered very recently when i best friend gave birth to a kid. It was 8.30 in the night and I was standing outside the operation theatre doors, waiting for the guy to be out of my best buds tummy and BAM doors open and the doctor gets out the baby for us to see. He was jus 5-10 minutes old. O my God.. What a wonder !! A living things so sweet and nice has been sitting inside the tummy for so long. HE was so pink and i would also say dirty. And he suddely triend to open his eyes. Seeing this world and Universe for the first time... How can you jus not say an Aw about this. Tears welled up my eyes.. I ve never seen a baby so early.. Except my bro.. but i was small then, din understand these things... This I think is one of the most amazing things !!! So.. I visited him the next day(yesterday).. He was stretching nicely.. He is outta a cucoon and he was trying so hard to be free and out.. He was sleeping though.. AM so waiting to go and visit him today, which i will in sometime.. Happy mom and Happy Dad... And here I am.. May be he ll call me Aunt Aishu !!! I wouldn mind it though !!!!

And guys.. I ve been having this craving for Hot Chocolate since the day i saw the movie Chocolat.. I wanna really good hot Chocolate made outta Cacoa and not bournvita powder.. Do suggest me a place in Chennai if you know one..

Cheers

Me and Raavanan !!!!

After the hype created around raavanan and and the one I created by myself to see the movie without hearin any kinda non sense from any anti social elements... I watched the movie yesterday... The list includes my 2 friends and my cousin who i turned deaf ears to this past few days.. Turnin deaf ears even meant accusing them to my mom..

So finally about the movie which has been having a mixed response.. It was great.. or let me put it this way.. I Liked it !! Generally for the past week there have jus been more criticisms, but i don see anythin to be criticized in the movie.. You sit at a movie theatre and you have one of the most breathtaking views of the forests and the rain and hear some real good music, see amazing actors transforming as characters, and a great experience.. What lacks here?? It is a real down to down simple storyline known by all the Hindus.. Even the characters portrayed have shades of the epic characters.. And I found it ta be a great modern day adaptation..

The positives of the movie was the choice of cast, camera work, music, acting, and of course the mani ratnam banner... Vikram is awesomeness personified, Aishwarya - adorable, Prithvi - Neat, Karthik-as usual - leaves a mark, and others have done a great job too..

Still Mani Ratnam cant escape criticism... There were a lot of loose ends in the movie.. Towards the end a few characters were jus neglected and suddenly their characters stopped appearing.. And the editing I would call it different when compared to other movies.. There are people actually pointing out mistakes in editing but i think it pretty well suited the tempo of the movie..

Final Verdict - I would surely suggest this movie for hard core Mani fans and even people who like ta see movies with class unlike mass... U d surely Like it !!! But if u have made up ur mind to go and criticize, save the money and go for a ur type movie rather than irritating others !!!

Actually this final verdict is so harsh, cause i had people who don even watch enough number of movies to even talk about it.. When you don like somethin, you don like it... The person has ta keep it to themselves rather than pushin the idea to other people and make them change their perceptions..

After the movie, me and one o my best buddy had time out tagether at Express Avenue.. The new mall near the Royapettah Clock tower.. DO pay a visit there.. Its worth it !!

And ya, I am jus half way developung soemthin bout a bro-sis relationship.. Will publish it once done !!! Until then.. Veera veera veera

Cheers

MOM !!! I am a piece of YOU !!!

Heyi,

Couldn think of any other title.. I thot of using titles like My mom Bestest or Super mom and all that but then decided against it cause anyway all these things go without say.

Its Mothers Day !! Its not that you remember your mom only on this day, its jus the day you acknowledge her presence in your life more than any other day. All of us are really attached to our moms. Though we have dad, brothers, sisters everyone are always around us a mother plays a more important role than anything else. That too in my case the relationship i share with mom is really way far more important that all the other relationships already present, yet to come in my life. I very well know that whatever happens to me, the first person to react to it would be my mom good or bad. Thats where a MOM stands

To talk about my mom. She is a pillar of strength to me. Everyone might think its just another humbug where the daughters write for their moms on mothers day but I find this a very special thing. She never loses the faith she has on me. Whatever confidence I have today in me is what she shared with me from her heart. I boldly carry a piece of her on my shoulder. She feels so happy when people say " Lakshmi Ponnu avala maadriye.. Romba smart !!" (that I am jus like my mom.. Smart !!) She is really a smart person. Quite difficult to find one like her.

She tells me stories of her early marriage days where she was married off at 21 and she had to face a culture shock. A Chennai bred person in a Tanjore based family. But i always hear it from my aunts and granny how she so well adapted to it. All of them from my dads family love her. Thats kinda really a surprise cause In laws never like the daughter in laws as per policy. Thats where she stands. A very friendly caring and a bold person she is. Will carry anythin off with perfect ease.

All through these years she has been this really best friend to me and now being the bestest. I have never generally hid anythin from her except for that one something which she now knows. Even then she supports me through everything. You know whats special about a mom. She will support you, she likes it or not, if it does good to you-she will support you. A bundle of energy she holds and passes it on to everyone. Her enthusiasm is so so so contagious.

We live in an apartment with 72 flats and any apartment function, my mom is involved. People want her to be involved in arranging it. She will go out of the way to make people happy. Its so typical of amma to say " When four people are happy because of you, You feel satisfied". All my friends so love her and always say that my mom is awesome and cool !!.. I feel so proud bout it mom !!

Leave all those things. For the past 2 years now, my mom and I have shared this real great bond. She acts as a perfect bridge between me and my dad. Convinces both of us so easily and always thinks of what makes me happy. She has been spending so much on getting stuff which i like, making me feel the best and taught me the best secrets. She always keeps telling me " even if you are married and away, you will be my best friend and we will share the best bond" which is perfectly true. There have been so many places i have talked back to her really rude but still she d say "its better that you change - for your own good" Can you ever think of any other selfless relationship. She supports me for everythin. To her my life and my happiness stands first. I jus decided to leave my job now - she never even thought of anything else, jus said "If you don wanna go - Don go" She never tried to convince me to stay for this reason or that reason. She doesn console when i cry, rather gives me the strength and says how much i don deserve to cry.

A typical explanation for my mom would be 48 outside and 28 inside... I wouldn call her 48 outside also cause she always looks and dresses Chic and decent. She looks like this amazing modern yet a culturally strong mom. You know what her latest love is - Facebook and more things on computer. I always aspire to follow her values so much which i will try hard to. Today, am this strong, bold courageous and also beautiful(genetically- the foto will explain the rest) all because of her. I live here with her guidance support and mainly HER !!

Hey.. Its time.. I promised to get her nail polish, and am here writing down stuff.. I better get going !! Happy Mothers Day mom !! And to all the moms in the world !!!

Cheers

SO.. There it is !!!

Rambling and movie !!!

hey,

I ve been tryin yo write something for quite long now and roday i decided to ramble atleast somethin which has been in my mind for quite sometime now... For sometime now I ve been sitting at office with not much work ta do and suddenly started on an assignment of making changes in the college website.. I am doing it at the same time am feeling bad about having a no progress career and a really bleak future.. That apart..

I ve been wanting to start an event management company for a long time now... More than event management, its been a love for Wedding planning. Wedding planning is a really lucrative career abroad.. here it is nothing more than a low level Broker job. I seriously wanna bring in that Chic and hep culture of wedding planning. It might take time though. My next idea is to open a Cafe !! It know it sounds weird but, I always wanted ta open one.. I ve had a major part of my life at Cafe Coffee Day.. !!!

I saw Vinaithaandi Varuvaya few days ago.. I was jus wondering why i did not like it much.. Was it because i saw it when i had fever, or was it because the movie aggravated my fever.. Was it because my expectations were too high or was somethin really wrong with the movie???

Though i couldn conclude, the movie made me think a little.

I will never call that movie bad cause, it was a feel good chic flick with an Indian flavour, but certain things were sure unacceptable, atleast to me... I believe in love a lot and even on love at first sight.. Anyone can break into a song in any moment.. The emotion in great when experienced rather than being read. So, as the movie goes by its really clear that the female character Jessie is a volatile and unstable person who does not know what to do. The hero Karthik feels that there something great with Jessie and that she is like mature and super good and "the one". I feel he has made a wrong choice. Cause Jessie i would call a beautiful confused b***h who has no guts to even confront her dad. She lacks even the S in steadiness and stability. When the character is this, how did the hero be mad bout her. She is also this really dominant as she is elder to him. She has the guts to make out with him and say this might be the last time. ??? I thought a lot bout this and narrowed down on somethin what the guys of today always say. "Ellam Ponungalum Ipdi thaan machaan"(all girls are like this only, bro). But i disagree with that "All". Yes, there are a lot of girls doin this nowadays. When they love a guy nothin actually stops them, but when it comes to marriage they give into their parents lucrative options. There is always a way to make parents understand. But jus carryin on with life without confronting parents even once is the heights of being a B***h. SO, Thats for now.. Will write soon...

Cheers

Hey guys,

you know, i felt i really should deliberately put down somethin today in my blog.. Cause i have piles of unfinished posts lying in my drafts. Each time i start a post and i don complete it. Its been happening for ages now.. Life is nice but i dunno i have this disturbance at the back of the mind.. Anyway, I jus started tweeting few days ago and i started started buzzing through Google too... I felt these things are kinda nice only when you are bored. You cant maintain it like some really important thing like an email ID. SO.. Lets leave all that..

Yesterday i went to my school after a long time. It so brought back a lot of memories. Rest is best left Unsaid. I will come up with some pots or atleast a tag soon.. I wanna make a comeback !!!

Cheers
