BACHELOR'S BEWARE!!!

Embarrasing Incident

This happened on 25 October. Me and my friend went to a small restaurant to have some snacks after a movie. It was inhabited only by us and an old couple. As my friend was very hungry, he was munching on his menu, but I was having a cup of coffee.

We were doing some small talk about the movie and the producer and politics of South India, etc... We were talking in the lingua franca of our own: Sanskritized Tamil. In the middle, the old gentleman interuppted and started rambling about the political system and the flaws of perpetrators in Tamil Nadu and quoted the harrowing experiences he himself had undergone. Then, he asked about our caste, community and place of work,etc... We, both innocent guys :-), gave the details with utmost sincerity to the old gentleman and his wife proudly.

Like a bolt from the blue, the old man told that he is looking for a boy for his relation and that the girl is working in TCS Bangalore and blah blah. He even went on to ask our addresses. Man! Both of us felt very shy and pathetic at that point of time. We felt embarassed to the core. He sensing our shyness, asked us to atleast give our parents' address. My friend, a little fickle-minded, told me that let's give the address.

I thought I've had enough of this and bluntly told the old man that we have parents who will take care of our marriage proposals and moreover we were only 23. Then the old man duly apologized saying that the girl was already 26. I heaved a sigh of relief.

So, (Eligible) BACHELORS BEWARE!!!

DON'T QUIT

Don’t Quit
-----------

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow --
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

AADHAVAN

This Sunday I had gone to Aadhavan for a matinee show in one of the local theatres. Thank God that I did not shell out more money for a pathetic movie like this in some over-priced multiplex in Namma Bengaluru.

Cast: Surya, Nayanthara, Murali(Character Artist), Rahul Dev,Sayyaji Shinde, Riaz Khan, Anand Babu(Nagesh's Son),FEFSI Vijayan, Saroja Devi and VADIVELU
Direction: KS RAVIKUMAR aka MASALA KUMAR
Production: RED GIANT FILMS - Udhayanidhi Stalin
Music: Harris Jayaraj
and other crew

The movie does not live up to the expectations and hype created by Kalaignar TV and the media. Surya's role is very much similar to the one he did in AYAN, so he needs to do something seriously to break the stereotype. Much of the action sequences are a modified version of AYAN.

Unlike AYAN, logic is defied blatantly and amuses many at critical and serious times during the climax. Nayanthara is wasted and portrays a very old misplaced look, she honestly does not fit in this movie. Murali has acted aptly as always, but it's a pity that he expired before the movie could release. Saroja Devi is an addition and man, she does look beautiful even at this age, better than Nayanthara obviously. But, one prime question? Will she sport make up even in HEAVEN???

The other villains are stereotypes that we have seen time and again in many tamil flicks. But all this happens in KOLKATA, that's the only difference. VADIVELU is the real sheet anchor to this movie. Without him, even with Surya, they would not be able to pull off even a decent run in theatres.

The first half is more interesting relatively. Surya's stunts are always enjoyable, but in this case, a little exagerrated even by Surya's standards, like jumping from building to building, leaping 10-12 feet, cliches as in AYAN, and then a timed rocket launcher that will explode after 2 minutes, which Surya after a gun shot to his right shoulder, clings on to the bottom of a helicopter and re inserts that missile inside the villains copter and jumps into water and the next scene, returns normal. This is heights of desperation from KS Ravikumar. Ramesh Khanna is a total waste of time, Pathetic portrayal and his makeup!

Music by Harris Jayaraj does not live up to his name. Hasile Fissile is the only number I enjoyed. Others are cut copy mix and paste stuff from his previous hits. Music which was a great boost in AYAN is a tragedy in AADHAVAN.
The other technical aspects like choreography, cinematography and the likes are good, and I don't know the technical side of it and thus am not commenting.

Overall, go watch it for Surya and Vadivelu. Please don't go with any expectations or hype from media and never compare it with even a cinch of AYAN!!!

OLD CARTOONS

Something made me to think about and relive those old memories of cartoon network in mid-90's when it was first introduced in INDIA.
Man! It was awesome. I remember when I was in high school, I used to rush home in cycle to watch those shows in the noon. My favourites were Scooby Doo, Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Fantastic Max, Centurions, Mask, Captain Planet, Ed, Edd N Eddy, Top Cat, Jetsons, Flintstones, Galtar and the Golden Lance, Perils of Penelope Pitstop, Speed Racer, Dexter's Laboratory,Powerpuff Girls, Bugs and Daffy show, Real Adventures of Johny Quest, Toonami, Looney Tunes, Crocadoo, Yogi Bear, etc...

Those days were awesome. I wish I was a kid and I never grew!!!

My Emotions

My Emotions
-----------------

There's something missing in my life,
My senses striving for a strife.
My soul thriving somehow alive,
Maybe I'm so naive.
There's none to save,
Expecting things to be rave.
Emotions are getting lame,
A sense of imperfection and blame game,
Unless my weakness is tamed,
I shall be framed and rammed.
Marooned and Stranded,
Why my life's so bland,
What should I do to make it grand.
My friends getting fiendish,
My words getting brandished.
I wish I have answers!
I will always be a fighting soldier!
