Hi Friends !!!!!

Hi All,

Back after one month gap !!! Was not able to post anything due to some busy schedule ... Was going to cricket practice in the morning and then from 9-7 in office and became tired after returning back.. So thats y... Tried to post about the Independence cup that held here but not able ... will try to post it soon ...

Ok its story time guys !!! Want to share a short moral story ...
Once a cat was caught in a hunter's net. A mouse used to live in a nearby hole. The mouse seeing the cat in the net started playing around the cat. Soon a mongoose came there. He wanted to kill the mouse. As he lifted his head, he saw an owl sitting on a tree trying to catch him. The mongoose went very near the cat's net to save himself. The mouse thought "When the hunter takes away the cat, the mongoose will not spare me and the owl is there to enjoy both of us." The Mouse went to the cat and said, "I can cut the net if you promise to save my life from the mongoose and the owl." The cat agreed. The mouse started cutting the net slowly and freed the cat only when the hunter was just near the cat. The cat took to heels and so ran the mongoose too. The owl was very much disappointed to see even the mouse running away to safety. A few days later, the cat being hungry, went to the hole of the mouse and requested him to come out for a game. The mouse replied, "I sought friendship and saved you to save my life." Now you can go home.

MORAL : Don’t nurture friendship with selfish people.

Hope its really very short with nice thought .. Isnt it ??

Note:
Most of you would ask why i have pasted this photo above... Its not related to the story also .. Then why ??? Think ...

CAGEBIRD is going to be released !!!

LIFE IS FULL OF CHANGE -- Moral Stories


Once a king called upon all of his wise men and asked them, ” Is there a mantra or suggestion which works in every situation, in every circumstances, in every place and in every time. In every joy, every sorrow, every defeat and every victory? One answer for all questions? Something which can help me when none of you is available to advise me? Tell me is there any mantra?”

All the wise men were puzzled by the King’s question. They thought and thought. After a lengthy discussion, an old man suggested something which appealed to all of them. They went to the king and gave him something written on paper, with a condition that the king was not to see it out of curiosity.

Only in extreme danger, when the King finds himself alone and there seems to be no way, only then he can see it. The King put the papers under his Diamond ring.


Some time later, the neighbors attacked the Kingdom. King and his army fought bravely but lost the battle. The King had to flee on his horse. The enemies were following him. getting closer and closer. Suddenly the King found himself standing at the end of the road - that road was not going anywhere. Underneath there was a rocky valley thousand feet deep. If he jumped into it, he would be finished…and he could not return because it was a small road…the sound of enemy’s horses was approaching fast. The King became restless. There seemed to be no way.


Then suddenly he saw the Diamond in his ring shining in the sun, and he remembered the message hidden in the ring. He opened the diamond and read the message. The message was - ” THIS TOO SHALL PASS”The King read it . Again read it.


Suddenly something struck him- Yes ! This too will pass. Only a few days ago, I was enjoying my kingdom. I was the mightiest of all the Kings. Yet today, the Kingdom and all his pleasure have gone. I am here trying to escape from enemies. Like those days of luxuries have gone, this day of danger too will pass. A calm came on his face. He kept standing there. The place where he was standing was full of natural beauty. He had never known that such a beautiful place was also a part of his Kingdom.


The revelation of the message had a great effect on him. He relaxed and forgot about those following him. After a few minutes he realized that the noise of the horses and the enemy coming was receding. They moved into some other part of the mountains and were near him.The King was very brave. He reorganized his army and fought again. He defeated the enemy and regained his empire.


When he returned to his empire after victory, he was received with much fanfare. The whole capital was rejoicing in the victory. For a moment King said to himself,” I am one of the bravest and greatest King. It is not easy to defeat me.


With all the reception and celebration he saw an ego emerging in him.Suddenly the Diamond of his ring flashed in the sunlight and reminded him of the message. He open it and read it again: “THIS TOO SHALL PASS”. He became silent. His face went through a total change - from the egoist he moved to a state of utter humbleness.


If this too is going to pass, it is not yours. The defeat was not yours, the victory is not yours. You are just a watcher. Everything passes by. We are witnesses of all this. We are the perceivers. Life comes and goes. Happiness comes and goes. Sorrow comes and goes.


Now as you have read this story, just sit silently and evaluate your own life. This too will pass. Think of the moments of joy and victory in your life. Think of the moment of Sorrow and defeat. Are they permanent ? They all come and pass away. Life just passes away. There is nothing permanent in this world. Everything changes except the law of change.


Think over it from your own perspective. You have seen all the changes. You have survived all setbacks, all defeats and all sorrows. All have passed away. The problems in the present, they too will pass away. Because nothing remains forever. Joy and sorrow are the two faces of the same coin. They both will pass away.You are just a witness of change. Experience it, understand it, and enjoy the present moment - this too shall pass

Have a nice weekend friends !!!!

Exam - A Fantatstic Movie




Hi Friends,

I came to know about a movie called "Exam" while reading a blog 2 days back and felt interesting. Immediately I downloaded the movie yesterday and watched it. It was really an interesting movie..

The whole movie has been taken in only one room (low budget movie). Its really an astonshing thing to hear that an British(Not an hollywood!!) movie has been shot in only one room. But friends dont think that its an documentry film since it has been shot in a single room. Its a thriller movie which makes you not to move from system till its end...

Total duration of the movie is around 100 minutes only ... But till the end, lot of questions and thinkings about the movie will disturb u a lot.

Story of the movie is : Eight talented candidates have reached the final stage of selection to join the ranks of a mysterious and powerful corporation company. Entering a windowless room, a man gives them eighty minutes to answer one simple question. He outlines three rules they must obey or be disqualified: don't talk to him or the armed guard by the door, don't spoil their papers and don't leave the room. He starts the clock and leaves. The candidates turn over their question papers, only to find they're completely blank. After the initial confusion has subsided, one frustrated candidate writes 'I believe I deserve...,' and is promptly ejected for spoiling. The remaining candidates soon figure out they're permitted to talk to each other, and they agree to cooperate in order to figure out the question: then they can compete to answer it.
After lot of confusion and discussions, how last one candidate has found the answer is the story.



This movie has been directed and produced by Stuart Hazeldine who deserves appreciation for his work. If you are not watching the movie properly it will be difficult to understand the climax of the movie. But when you understand the climax then you will say "Thats it????" For this only these ppl were struggling from start... Such a simple climax.


Movie got released by Jan 2010 itself but donno why it didnt get much popularity. Might be becoz it doesnt have any trademark scenes of hollywood movie like kiss scenes, actions, graphics ..etc.. But this movie is worth watchable in your leisure time... 4 out of 5 Stars !!! :-)

Please let me know your comments and suggestions if you watch (watched) this movie !!!

Have a Great Day !!!

Cheers,

As It Happened(8-7-10)

Hi,

It was such an exciting and thrilling past 1 month for the sports fans like me. Its not only FIFA world cup but also other sports events like Asia Cup, Wimbledon and Indonesia & other badminton series provided an non stop entertainment for the past 20-30 days.



FIFA --> Though the league matches were quite boring (as I said in my previous blog) the tournament got it pace thumping up after round 16 matches. As like most of the football fans me too expected power packed Brazil vs Argentina Final. But unluckily both the teams were knocked out in Quarter finals by Holland and Germans. That too Argentina's defeat is huge let down. They are not able to score a single goal against German defense. On the other hand German easily break through Argentine Defense and dominated fully in 2nd half.

Brazil's defeat is a heart break for their nation. They paid the price for over confidence.

Ghana's impressive show continued till Quarter final where they last to Urugay. At the start of tournament I felt England as a favourite for the title but as tournament progressed i guessed they wont reach semis itself and i guessed right. England became much hyped team this time. Current Champions Italy also fell in that category.


Now Germans also ousted by Solid Spain team last night. Its going to be an unexpected final between Spain vs Netherlands on 11th July. I hope Spain wont give us any shock on sunday by loosing to dutch. Let us See how it goes!!!








Wimbledon -->If Brazil went down to Holland in FIFA , the great Fedex went down to Thomas Berdrych at the same stage in Wimbledon. But the main headline news prior to that is the first round match(which held for 3 days) between Mahut vs Isner which shattered old records and created a lot of new world records.


As like football (Brazil vs Arg) we expected a Fed vs Nadal final here but thats got abrupted in form of Berdrych. He not only defeated Federer but also shattered the dreams of inform Djokovic to reach the final.


But it was one sided in finals where "Animal" (thats how Mcenroe described him) Nadal easily cruised past Berdrych in straight sets. He become the first spaniard to win both french & wimbledon in same yr twice.



Note: Also happy news for Indians is Paes won the Mixed doubles title with Black. Rohan Bopanna reached quarter final in doubles while leander n mahesh failed to reach even quarters.





Asia Cup --> Huh!!! Atlast India won the Asia Cup back. This tournament become ineffective due to ongoing FIFA world cup. Though India won the cup I enjoyed the captaincy role played by Afridi for pakistan in this tournament. He tried his best to improve the team bonding for the team. Hope that team will perform under his capataincy in future tournaments. Im eagerly awaiting for Sachin's return for tests Vs Srilanka on July 18th. (Sachin Vs Murali !! he he he ... )




Lastly One should not forget about the 3 successive titles won by our Saina in Badminton in past 1 month. She thoroughly deserves those titles for her hard work. She also rised to 3rd in rankings now !! :-) . . Go Saina No:1 is not far away !!!
Personal Note: It was mixed feelings for me during last week. Though I got very good marks in my M.S 6th Sem exam i was not happy due to my role change to technical domain has been stalled !! :-( .. Still eagerly waiting for that oppturnity (Spark!!).. Donno how long I have to wait !! However No bad feelings !!! I'm ready for this battle!!! C'mon !!
Have a nice day friends !!!

Raavanan In my view!!!!



“Raavanan” is a modern-day replication of the mythological epic Ramayana. Director Mani Ratnam has beautified the character of Raavana from Ramayana and illustrated his personality from a different angle. Though Beera (Vikram) is depicted as Raavan who is expected to be the villain of the story but, effort has been made to show a different image of the Raavan. While hubby Vikram plays the Raavan, Aishwarya Rai plays the beautiful Sita with Prithviraj as the good soul Sri Ram.

Veera (Vikram) is a criminal who hides in thick forests of a South Village (thats what they are telling.. But locations are entirely different)from where he executes his criminal activities. He is a menace to the police and he has thorough knowledge of the jungle with hunting skills and he kills policemen and seizes all their weapons. Everybody is scared of him except SP Dev (Prithvi) who is the husband of Ragini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan).

Veera kidnapped his pretty wife Ragini to revenge Dev’s dare and to settle his enmity with him. During Dev’s fight to get back his wife, he meets a forest guard (Kathick) who helps him in his search for Beera. Karthik is depicted as a modern-day, Hanumaan though he is not able to do justice to his role. Ragini is a brave girl who is not scared of Veera but, tries her best to escape.

Dev who couldn’t trust Raavan after Sita’s abduction and so demands an Agni-pariksha of Ragini in the form of a polygraph test. There comes a twist in the plot, Ragini is a modern woman and he could accept her husband’s distrust on her and falls for the goodness in Raavan whom she previously hates and loathes. She realizes the good side of the bad man and vice-versa.

The first one hour of the movie is quite slow which would in one way test the patience of the audience. However, Ash was just too good in her facial expressions which reflected her fortitude and determination in the various attempts she makes to run away. Mani Ratnam has tactfully humanized Raavan and showed the demon in otherwise good guy, Ram. Veera, although plays a negative role but he is not heartless like Dev. Veera never misbehaves with captive Ragini.

The movie has a simple plot but what makes the movie beautiful is the acting of the crew and their expressions. Excellent photography by Santosh Sivan gives the movie a special touch and feel. He has captured the beauty of the forests, springs and the mountains. The songs of the movie are by AR Rahman and it’s very rhythmic as expected. Though, it is nothing exceptional.

The acting of all the main characters is worth mentioning, Vikram has effectively brought live to his character and from a villain becomes the hero of the movie. Ash is looking very beautiful with minimum or no makeup. Prithviraj is also quite good with more actions and less dialogues (Negative shades). Another important character is Priyamani (as sister of Veera) had done her part well!!! (she comes only less than 15 mins :-(( .. ) .Other characters like Prabhu, Munna..etc have doesnt have much to do but they have done their parts fairly.


Particularly i didnt like the climax. Mani could have shown only vikram with negative shades but he also shown Prithvi as a negative role which makes the main story less effective one. Screenplay is also not upto the mark and hence movie slows down in between. But the song at the end (very short song) by Rahman is really good and made me feel something sad for the hero(veera) !!! thats shows he talent/success of the singer (Rahman himself)!

Overall the movie is not so much bad !! One time watchable movie that too particularly for Santhosh Sivan's Photography and also Vikram's superb acting( Pity on him bcoz he is acting one movie for 2 yrs with much efforts but movie becomes flop due to other reasons ... 3rd in a row .. Bheema ( 2yrs), Kandhaswamy (nearly 2 yrs) and now again)...

2.75 out of 5 Stars ......

Note : I saw the movie last week itself but not able to write the review due to busy work scedule. Also I tried to watch the movie in Hindi 2 days back in my laptop but not able to the find the same feel as in Tamil. Thatz mainly bcoz some movies are good only when we watch it in theatre (or theatre effect :-) ). This movie is watchable only in theatres... You wont like the movie If you watch it in online or in system after downloading ....

Short Moral Stories

Hi Friends,
Just thought of sharing some short moral stories every week which are very inspirational.
Though it may look silly and childish the real theme behind the story is for all ppl.

Hard Work Brings Success:
There once lived a rich businessman who had a lazy and fun loving son. The businessman wanted his son to be hard-working and responsible. He wanted him to realize the value of labour. One day he summoned his son and said: "Today, I want you to go out and earn something, failing which you won't have your meals tonight."

The boy was callous and not used to any kind of work. This demand by his father scared him and he went crying straight to his mother. Her heart melted at the sight of tears in her son's eyes. She grew restless. In a bid to help him she gave him a gold coin. In the evening when the father asked his son what he had earned, the son promptly presented him the gold coin. The father then asked him to throw it into a well. The son did as he was told.

The father was a man of wisdom and experience and guessed that the source of the gold coin was the boy's mother. The next day he sent his wife to her parent's town and asked his son to go and earn something with the threat of being denied the night meals if he failed. This time he went crying to his sister who sympathized with him and gave him a rupee coin out of her own savings. When his father asked him what he had earned the boy tossed the rupee coin at him. The father again asked him to throw it in a well. The son did it quite readily. Again the father's wisdom told him that the rupee coin was not earned by his son. He then sent his daughter to her in-laws' house. He again asked his son to go out and earn with the threat that he shall not have anything for dinner that night.

This time since there was no one to help him out; the son was forced to go to the market in search of work. One of the shopkeepers there told him that he would pay him two rupees if he carried his trunk to his house. The rich man's son could not refuse and was drenched in sweat by the time he finished the job. His feet were trembling and his neck and back were aching. There were rashes on his back. As he returned home and produced the two rupee note before his father and was asked to throw it into the well, the horrified son almost cried out. He could not imagine throwing his hard-earned money like this. He said amid sobbing: "Father! My entire body is aching. My back has rashes and you are asking me to throw the money into the well."

At this the businessman smiled. He told him that one feels the pain only when the fruits of hard labour are wasted. On earlier two occasions he was helped by his mother and sister and therefore had no pain in throwing the coins into the well. The son had now realized the value of hard work. He vowed never to be lazy and safe keep the father's wealth. The father handed over the keys of his shop to the son and promised to guide him through the rest of the life.

Moral of the Story: Some of the life's best lessons come from the hardest situations. Nothing comes without pain. Things which are got without hard work wont stay long. So never be lazy and never hesitate to work hard.
Have a nice day and weekend!!!

As It Happened!! (19-6-10)

Hi All,

Back after 2 weeks gap !! As expected climate has a complete turnover when compared last 2 months !! Its started brizzling daily and climate is very chill here !!

I have successfully completed 6th Sem of my M.S course last week. Its been a terrible experience for past 3 yrs while preparing for the Final exam of each semester which is a Open book exam. Why because though i heard of this open book scheme i had never experienced/realizied the scenario before. Always in a dilemma whether to just browse the topics or to read n cover(understand) topics as much as possible. I was doing the 2nd thing for the first 2 sem but later i come to know though we put effort like that there will be not much difference between a hard studier and a normal reader guy. It depends more on the effort put on the exam days. Forutnately this time all went Well !! Im quite happy about the exams !! Lets see how the outcome is.

New Buddies:

Im really very happy that my blog has been an inspiration for 2 of my collegues and friends ..
http://www.abhishejoyappa.blogspot.com/ is my friend Abhishek's blogpage. Expecting more quality articles from him !!
http://www.feroz-catchmeifyoucan.blogspot.com/ is the address of another friend firoz's blog. He always do things diffferently. Lets see how he makes difference in his blogs.

Welcome ABHISHEK and FEROZ !!!!

Sports Bits:

Tennis: As expected Nadal easily sailed thru and beat all opponens in straight sets in Rolland Garros. He had regained his world no:1 status and also his French open title. But now the real test is how he is going to perform in Wimledon the most previliged Grandslam which starts June 21st ! With Fedrer struggling the competition become much open now !! My favourite picks are Nadal, Roddick,Fedrer and Hewitt (Suprised ? he is in good form now) ....

Football: At the end of first week of the World cup matches we had only few excitinng moments in the matches. Mostly all the matches are sloppy and provided no fun with few expectations!! I'm terribly disappointed with performance of England !! Now i can say for sure they wont even reach semi finals (may be not even second round !) Another disappointment is France ! (Not even scored a goal till now) ! They are repeating the 2002 feat i think Spain also suffereda shock defeat to Swiss. But i think they will bounce back !! Argentina is through to Round 16 which is the only good sign till now. Messi is only star footballer who shined well till now according to me. Lets see how it progresses in the coming days .. I still support brazil ! and now argentina had joined in that list.

Cricket: After a terrible(!!!) Performance by inexperienced Indian team now they are ready for battle in Asia Cup. With FIFA world cup fever is on, there is no much interest in this tournament(Also Sachin is not there) !! 3 teams eying for 2 places in finals !! I think Sri lanka will assure their place in finals .. its fight between rivalaries India and pakistan for another place !

Raavan Buzz: With much hype Raavan had released in 3 languages worldwide in 1500 centres yesterday! All tickets were sold out in morning itself here for first day shows in Mysore! With the mixed reviews about the film the success lies in collections and public opinions after first 3 days !! Will try to watch this movie this weekend and let you know abt the movie !! Till Then Bye Guys !!

Have a nice day ahead !!

With Regards,

As It Happened !!!

Hi Friends !!

Its end of April and we can expect the climate will change to normal in next few days !!

Last week I had watched 2 movies , One is Kites and another one is Tamil movie Singam !

Well Well ! Im not going to say about the films first ! Before saying about the movies let me share one glad news to u !


The Good news is that atlast Im going to be moved to a network(technical) project from the current project after a lot of struggle within next few days !! Its been a long hard journey in this project which is full of thorns and stones ! Everyone will be waiting for some spark in their career to groom forward and im expecting this spark several days back ! But luck doesnt favour me! Nevertheless I got an opputurnity now! Im going to use most of the oppurtunity wat im going to get now !


Next week im going to attend a training (Mon -Fri) and also next 2 weekends Im having exams for M.S 6th Semester!! So Its a tough period !! Still 2 more sem to go in this M.S course(i.e around 14 months ) and have to work hard for career growth !! So no blogging for next few days atleast till completion of my exams !! :-(
Ill share my experience about training and confirmation regarding project change in my next blog !! Thanks for my parents, my bro and my friends who are praying for my goodness !

Ok Guys personal things apart ! Let me come to movies !!

KITES !!!

Ppl were expecting this movie from january and it released by May !! Such a looong awaited movie !!




Initially i thought this movie is somewhat dance oriented love movie but its not !! Its a full n full luv story between 2 different persons who are looking for shortcut to get rich !! I dont want to go deep into story as most of you may already got the info about it !! But technically the movie is very good and camera work n sounds are on par with Hollywood movies !!


About Hrithik ! What can i say about this guy ! Better he can try to act in hollywood movies itself! He had given his best in this movie !! He scores easily in many scenes! Barbara- She is looking cute and hot in few scenes and at the same time she is looking older at times ! Kangana is looking very hot but doesnt have much to do with her role !! Nothing to say about other casts !

But movie is very slow in parts and also doesnt have much strong reason for the love between the lead pair and a tragedic climax !! Didnt equalize the hype it has created !!


But if u r going without any expectations then can see it once ! 3 out of 5 :-)


Singam !!



Surya's 25th Film ! Masala Entertainer Hari's Movie ! Duo is back after "Vel" movie. Hari doesnt want to change his genre.He is continuing the same in this movie also !!

The movie is a good masala entertainer!! I went to this movie with my office mates! After first few minutes of the movie i thought i had mistake by coming to this movie !! Such a poor start ! I felt like its another SURA !!! After first 20 minutes movie paces up well!! (accidentally Anushka enters after 20 mins ! He he :-) )

If you are able to resist the sounds which tears your ears (which is ususal in Mass hero commercial movies) then you can enjoy the movie !! One time watchable 3.25 out of 5 :-) !!!

Sports Bitz:

1) My favourite player Andy roddick has lost in 3rd round (French Open) yesterday . That too against a qualifier ! I thought he will go till semis this time ! ! But disappointed !! No Prob this is not his fav surface !! Will wait for Wimbledon ! My Next fav player is Nadal !! He is in good form !! He is going to win it this time .. Vamos Rafa !!!

2) Young Indian team lost to Zim 2 days back !! Its a horrible show !! Particularly bad bowling provided the defeat !! Lets see how they take it in coming matches !!

3) World Cup Football is going to start in another 13 days and all teams are in full preparation in SA. My Bets for winner are Brazil, England and Portugal! Frnace might be a dark horse !! No chance for Italy this time !!!

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND AND MONTH AHEAD !!!!

A Beautiful Short Story

Hi Friends,

Today When I was just browsing I come across a small story regarding how to control the temper. The story was very short and sweet. Just thought of sharing it ....


Temper Control

Once there was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence.


The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily, gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.


The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that he had removed all the nails . The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said “you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.”
The Son realized the mistakes he had made because of his temper. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there.
Make sure you control your temper the next time you are tempted to say something you will regret later.
Have a Nice Day Ahead !!!!

Suraaa ....... A Blockbuster Movie


Scene1: Opening was up to the hype, purely for Vijay worshipers. Our hero emerges from a tornado saving bunch of people @ sea.
Then there goes the opening song. Everything were fine till this part of the movie.
Vijay Fans: Full throttled whistle.
Normal Audience: Bit happy since the song and dance were good.

Scene2: Then comes the heroine introductionJ. One of the worst intro in a tamil movie. Heroine attempts suicide after putting all her makeup’s which she carry along with her.(Reason: Lost Dog). Our heroin falls in love after seeing hero buying pen from blind people and by helping them in crossing the road (a very childish story line.. unable to tolerate these kind of stuffs).
Vijay Fans: Light murmuring and smile
Normal Audience: Irritation started

Scene3: Hero goes to meet a local pawn broker to raise voice on local issue. Build up starts. A guy shouts “Sooravali varudhu… no no… Psunami varudhu… No No No… Rendum serndhu varudhu…” (Eng Ver : “A Tornado is coming… no no no… Psunami is coming… no no no… both comes together”). Our hero walks in slow motion with the graphic of psunami and tornado at the background. LLL
Vijay Fans : Very few whistled. Rest moaned (a hauling sound).
Normal Audience: Irritated to the core. Four people left the theater speaking to themselves “Why u guys booked tickets for such a movie?”

Scene4: A very normal well know Villan intro scene. Villan speaks dialogue in telugu and it was dubbed in tamil, with 0% dialogue and lip sync. Then comes the so called core of the story. Villan(minister) tries to occupy the slum land where our hero resides. Our hero is the Godfather to all in the slum (donno why… no reason for that to justify). Then a duet song and a fight where hero never fight standing on land(flying from building to building … he used air as the travel medium J.. Spiderman without web)hero’s mother will be attacked but 0% sentimental acting from our hero. No emotional dialogue or anger shown. Just a formality check of mom “Mom how r u?”. (Expected few sentiments over here J)
Vijay Fans: Very few were shouting and “thalaiva” sound here and there. Total decibel level down. Theater is damn silent.
Normal Audience: Few went out of the show and few went to out to smoke. And we all turned towards the person who booked the ticket for us and gave a grudging look at him. He was totally lost. He straight said “Macha.. extremely sorry da.. L” (FYI: He is a diehard Vijay fan. Then we heard a loud snoring sound not in movie, one of my friend was in deep sleep J. We decided not to disturb him J, atlest let he be happy)

Scene5: Villan meets hero after burning hero’s slum. There comes the punch and pinch dialogues. Then the dialogue of hero saying that “he will build 1400 houses for his people. (FYI: he is a normal fisherman)”
Vijay Fans: Irritated. Since very bad screenplay and storyline and very bad dialogue frame.
Normal Audience: Few were uttering counter dialoguges with u-parliamentary words. All were silent waiting and awaiting interval.

Scene6: (Considerable amount of people left the show.. lucky ones) hero decides to steal the smuggled goods from villan. Here come a intelligent tactics, a pakka director touch. Our hero comes as custom officer(Sardharji). And they use diwali rockets to attack the villan boat. And hero uses a iron rod to place the rocket(normal diwali rocket with match box to fire) and fire it. One amoung the villans shouts “Custom officers are using rocket launchers to attack us so escapeeeeeeeeee…. LL”. (few audience escaped at this scene). Then hero takes the smuggled goods and flee to Mumbai and sells it and becomes a billionaire(100 crores exactly). (FYI: smuggles goods are 2 to 3 boxes of laptops L). All these selling happens In just 20sec of movie and hero returns to slum in an Audi suv.
Vijay Fans F: All were frustrated to the core and were talking among themselves of their hero’s poor show.
Normal Audience: Few more left the show, few were sleeping(by the way my friend was awake J. Better he could had slept), few **** words around audience, and few were shouting to screen the climax fight (remember its only 15min post interval).

Scene7: Few songs, fights and comedy in a sequence and heroin Tamana appears in and out of film for few seconds(used only for songs). And I can term this as the worst comedy of Vadivelu in his film history. No one smiled in theater for his comedy. Few in theaters including myself and one of my friend were irritated with a dance step, where our hero does something with THAMANA’s pant. (And they claim it as a dance step.. mindless people)
Vijay Fans: No sound from them, totally lost. Had blank faces and reddish eyes J
Normal Audience: Were with a frustrated and irritated face. In the verge of bursting in anger. Could here moaning and murmuring sounds among themselfs

Scene8: Climax – Villan places a bomb @ newly constructed slum and controls it from a boat. Our hero jumps from one boat to another(remembering kuruvi) and tries to diffuse the bomb. Main thing here to be noted is “how will he diffuse it?”. For the first time in tamil cinema history hero breaks the computer keyboard and pulls the bunch of control wire’s in a single stretch and the bomb gets diffused (‘HurtLocker’ should give back its Oscars). And then fight, hero kills villan (and also poor fans and udiance). THE END.
Vijay Fans: Few used un-parlimentary words criticizing their hero and Rajkumar. No one had a smiling face. And few declared that they are no more Vijay fans.
Normal Audience: All said in one word “Macha never ever book tickets for his next movies”….. “Macha Vijay fans paavam da (pitty on Vijay fans)”…. “And again lots of unparlimentary words were fired on hero, director and the person who booked ticket for them”.

Verdict : (Donno what to say… Pitty on u vijay fans)


Note: For God Sake I escaped from watching this movie in theatre. That too 1st day itself i planned to watch this movie ... I watched the movie Online and slept for 3 hours.

Yawwnnnnnnn........

Life is Beautiful!

Hi,
Its been a long time opening my blog to put up a new post ! The reason behind that is the work (really cant say it is) that im doing currently!! Also I was frustrated in this(corporate) life bcoz of ppl around me!! Being Selfish is not a big fault bcoz most of the ppl in this world are selfish BUT embrassing and making fool of others for their selfishness is a Sin! Yeah i have been stalked and demotivated a lot ! Damn .. I couldnt control my feelings ! Lot of transformation in my chracter! Thats were i lost my originality ! Its been a true fact that Practice makes ppl perfect! I didnt got an oppurtinity to groom technically but i got lot of experiences in (public & corporate) life !

But thank god i have a good friend and a good family who keeps me alive always by supporting me and cheering me up!


Today I saw one of my friends blog (http://j-ravi.blogspot.com) who is in japan right now. Its a nice blog. He had shared his experiences in Japan and his general opinions. Thatz inspired me to write this blog !
Also that motivated me to take a pledge that I will also write a similar post with my experiences in abroad!! I took it in a positive way and as inspiration!
I told to myself Harish ! dont give up ! Though you wont change as a fox Dont be a goat in this corp world!!
There are lots of beautiful things around us. It's just a matter of how we see it and whether we're able to realize it. Just ignore the things which make you worry and take things lightly and try to be happy !!! Have a Smile always in your face!! In life, of course there are always some ups and downs. However, I believe, that even in the most difficult situation, there's always a beautiful thing.. As wise people say, "Everything happens for a reason". Enjoy! :)

Cheers!

Back After a Small Gap

Hi,

Since I went to Chennai in Second week of Januray (For Pongal) and later busy with some office work not able to blog for few days.

I want to share you the experience my trip to Chennai. I went to Chennai on 10th Jan (Sunday).

I met my school friend who is practising as a auditor after a very long gap (6 yrs!!!!). We both went to Rain Forest hotel in Adyar.



Though i had been visited there previoulsy with my bro its being a pleasant experience whenever im visiting that hotel. We can appreciate the hotel for many things : Its interior design, quality of food, Good service and mainly the feel inside the hotel. You can feel that only when you visit the hotel.

The next day I went to Chrompet Vetri Complex to Watch Avatar ( Waited for a long time to watch this movie !!) with my bro. Though i was very eager to watch this movie in 3d in satyam or INOX,not able to do that bcoz tickets were booked for 3 days in advance in those theatres.

So went to Rakesh Theatre to Watch avatar. That too in tamil. I was excited initially. But we had a bitter experience inside the theatre.

Sound system is very bad and seats are not good. Also Ticket price is Rs 60 which is quite high when compared with facilities they provide.

But neverthless the movie was mindblowing and never made us to feel bore and we both are just analyzing how this scene has been taken .

We had the Pandura effect after leaving the theatre also. I thought that i must definitely watch this movie in 3d .

So the next day again i tried to see the movie in 3d. But this time also luck doesnt favour me.

I have to satisfy with watching the movie in Devi Complex. This time the theatre experience was good and I had went there with my parents. Also the movie was in english.

I never felt bored while watching the movie second time. Excellent movie from the director who gave us the epic "Titanic" before 12 years.

Then I came back to Mysore on 15th Morning .

Last Week I went to Veer movie on 22nd with my friend abhishek. It was a interesting story. Im not mentioning about the film im saying about our story how we went to Veer movie.

Initially we planned to go to Aayirathil oruvan but when we reached theatre the movie has been changed and some other telegu movie was going on there.

Then we went to all nearby theatres and all were kannada movies.Atlast we decided to give up the plan of going to movie. At that time i saw the posters of Veer.

Thats how we landed up in theatre showing Veer. But about the movie I can say its not upto the mark compared to hype it has been created !!!!


But the movie is Salman's show all the way !! Salman salman and salman only !!! We can see the movie once for salman !! But movie fails in weak screenplay ! Also one more plus point about the movie is songs are good. Sallam aaya and "Surli" Song is really good and mehrubariyaan is ok kind of song.

Now again some interesting movies (Ishqiya & Rann in Hindi, Goa & Tamil padam in Tamil) has been released. Let us see how it goes in forthcoming days !!!

Have a nice weekend!!!!
