Mayakkam Enna Review

Mayakkam Enna , Tamil movie directed by Selvaraghavan, Dhanush and Richa playing lead roles, Ramji Kola Bhaskar GV completing the technical Team.
The story of Mayakkam enna is simple, Life of Wildlife Photographer, How the protagonist manages to Travel his life of being a Wild life photographer from a man with Photography as passion, Friends they have, the gal he accidently loves and marriages, plagiarism of his work, hatred, depression, suicide attempt, semi lunatic, power of women , pinnacle of life... This is the story as simple as candy.

With a close look to Selva’s previous films , there won’t be any difference of zero to hero kind of stories. This one is also a typical narration of his previous films. These films as his previous films are not for fun going audiences. Though the script calls for a mass, the narration and the way of filming describes as Class.

Straight away without re-viewing the story I emphasis on the positives and negatives of the movie. When talking about the positives , first thing comes to my mind is the narration and the way of film making which gives way scope to the actors, technicians to perform. That is very important and Selva has always mastered it. Ramji photography is classical as the story demands the same. The still shots and the montages when Dhanush explores forest are visual treat. Coloring and Tone is splendidly maintained throughout the movie. The Visuals in songs are classical. I don’t know why the entire movie was short in Bokeh style giving a blur or shallow depth to shots making it more appealing.

I Tweeted to Ravi K Chandran , stating the classical cinematography of Ramji. He replied stating that he was always Ramjis fan for his raw and real cinematography. That’s true. Paisa Vasool for the photography in the movie.

Dhanush proves he is a performer. His style and power of acting as a want to be photographer, sensual emotions, drunkenness, aspirations, shall do whatever to achieve goal feeling, psycho and lunatic acting, climax acceptance is performed with chanceless energy. He deserves applause.

Richa has seldom role to perform in first half and has shown tremendous power in second half. Displaying women power, and the acting is flawless. She is hot , thanks to cameraman.

Kola bhaskar has proved he is veteran. To master the art of editing with the shots given by Ramji is no mere work and Kola Bhaskar has challenged and won. I salute him.

Lack of BGM in first half makes you feel the screenplay is draggy but it is not so. Main theme music is played/re recorded multiple times in the movie with different tempos and levels is great. Songs suits in well and I liked it.
Places the dialogues are crossed over the limit, but that’s what typical Selva is. He makes for people next door and thats true.
Again , I confirm that this movie is not for Fun, its classic , its powerful.
My Rating : 4/5 Better than 7 AM review.

kathal Pyar Vairamuthu Gulzar

Love  is defined the best  in Tamil: தன்னை  மறந்த  நிலையில்  உருவாகும்  உணர்வு .

Meaning : Love is a feeling which happens only when one cant realize himself.

A spontaneous feeling of (overpowering earnest longing) attachment  (to God, a being, an object or an idea) that shapes up while you are in a state of forgetting yourself  and contemplating on the beauty and perfection of  God, the object, being or an idea. True love is a surge in feeling of becoming one with a being, an object or an idea.

Ancient Tamil poet and scholar திருவள்ளுவர்   (Tiruvalluvar) has described the Concept of Love in different stages in his collection of 1330 Thirukurals. Namely the chapters that explain Love are  களவியல் ( Surreptitious Love.  Verses 1081-1150) கற்பியல் (Monogamous Marital bliss. Verses 1151-1330) காமத்துப்பால் ( Treatise on Sexual love -  Verses 1081-1330 )

According to Arabic literature, there are seven stages of love.

हब – attraction, उन्स  – Infatuation, इश्क -  Love, अकीदत – Reverence, इबादत – worship, जूनून – obsession, मौत – death

The philosophy of Love mentioned in any form of literature and by anyone in any generation is common and substantial to any generation and walk of life. The language might be different but the glory of Love remains same.

Hub as defines as attraction is defined as   desirability, Lure or a pull towards you.  “Annalum nokinal avalum nokinal ” from the famous kambaramayanam is an exact example for this stage. The attraction of desire , the lure is sophisticated by the pair of eyes, intensity in the feel and the beauty beyond imagination.

The Lines of Vairan (Vairamuthu, My Teacher) is best suited here.

கைகள் நான்கும் தீண்டும் முன்னே

கண்கள் நான்கும் தீண்டிடுமே

மோகம் கொஞ்சம் முளை விடுமே ,கண் பார்வை முதல் நிலையே

Translation : Before the quartet of hands collage, two pairs of eyes meet. Seldom passion sprouts up, attraction with eyes is the first stage.

The similar lines of Gulzar says, the touch of eyes (sight), created slight attraction. The heart started feeling the attraction.

आन्खोने  ने  कुछ  ऐसा  छुआ  हल्का  हल्का  उन्स  हुआ

हल्का  हल्का  उन्स  हुआ  दिल  को  महसूस  हुआ 

Powerful lines of Mirza Ghalib has been used here. He compares the feeling of love as uncontrollable fire which is very difficult to be lit and once lit cannot be extinguished.

इश्क  कर  जोर  नहीं  है  ये  वोह  आतिश  ग़ालिब

जो  लगाये  न  लगे  और  बुझाये  न  बने 

Second stage of Love is infatuation. What I feel is no one can understand love who has not experienced infatuation. And no one can understand infatuation, no matter how many times he has experienced it. Vividly described by Vairan as 

ஆருயிரே என்னுயிரே உள்ளம் கொண்டது  ஊர்  மயக்கம்

இன்னுயிரே காதலில் இரண்டாம் நிலை தான் பால் மயக்கம்

And Hence people feel this as highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to wrinkle.

Gulzar Challenges Vairan here saying 

छूती  है  मुझे  सरगोशी  से

आँखों  में  घुली  खामोशी  से

मैं  फर्श  पे  सजदे  करता  हूँ

कुछ  होश  में  कुछ  बेहोशी  से   

Acme of Life is Love, says Vairan. These lines vividly describes the summit the person shall be reaching in his feeling. Vairan arues with Gulzar stating “Amrith (sacred water) flows thr my veins , my life is experiencing a new kind of pain unique only to me”.

மெய் தீண்டும் நேசம் தொடங்கியதோ

இது  காதலின்  மூன்றாம்  படி  நிலையோ

என்  உடல்  வழி  அமிர்தம்  வழிகொன்றதோ    

என்  உயிர்  மட்டும் புது  வித  வழி  கொண்டதோ

This stage is most heavenly and zenith of all stages. Post this stage the concept of advaita peeps in. The Feeling of oneness starts to flow and the process of destruction of self is started. 

“நாங்கம்  நிலை”(Fourth stage) is clearly depicted by Vairan in these lines.

என்  நறுமலரே  உன்னை  தொழுது  விட்டேன்

என்  சுய  நினைவென்பதை  இழந்து  விட்டேன்

அந்த  சூரியன்  எழும்  திசை  மறந்து  விட்டேன்

கண்கள்  தாண்டி  போகதே  என்  ஆருயிரே  என்  ஓருயிரே

ஒரு  காதலிலே  மொத்தம்  ஏழு  நிலை

நாம் இது  வரை  கண்டது  நான்கு  நிலை 

Having said that, I have serious questions here. Why does Love between the Genders of Homo sapiens is difficult to reach way point beyond the Stage three unless in seldom cases where the motive is of self-destruction of ego?

This stage crossing beyond third stage can never be possible unless there are so many obsessions having no means of realness and practicality. Satisfied Love can’t be in search of junoon , the பித்து  நிலை (Lunatic Stage).

As said, the stages superior to Junoon needs high amount of energy and passion to sustain and reach the atman , prime reason to live. Well interesting point is the amount of power of mind to revert back to normal stage is enormous than to complete this stage thus making the completion of stage possible only if there is passion. The Raag-ic sutras explained in Yoga sutras also accepts this philosophy .

A Combined explanation of these stages is very much needed. Reverence and worship goes hand in hand. With respect Comes worship. Sajda is the right word for the same. Conversion of Dvaita to Advaita starts only when there is complete respect for the Being. This being can always be representation of God, Brahminism, Love, Devotion for anything and everything experienced in nature.

என்  உடல்  பொறுல்  தந்தேன்  சரண்  புகுந்தேன்  

என்  உயிரை  உனக்குள்   ஊற்றி  விட்டேன் 

இதுதான்  காதலில்  ஐந்து  நிலை , நான்  உன்  கையில்  நீர்  திவலை

This Line is my favorite of Vairan. "நான்  உன்  கையில்  நீர்  திவலை" meaning I m a vessel in your hands.

मेरा  जीना  जूनून  मेरा  मरना  जूनून

अब  इसके  सिवा  नहीं  कोई  सुकून

“I have forget the direction of rising sun,I started worshiping you”. Worshiping your beloved, god etc means complete oneness , “सजदा”. Submission means Sajda.

“என்  உடல்  பொருள்  தந்தேன் ”. I would regard this as complete submission. Sajda. These lines makes me to quick remark on the language and literature are one and same with different script. The Feel is the same.

Here the stage one achieves has everything to do to with the feel of Existence as Oneness. Here the person actually relates the self-living with the breathing of object in question.

All these stages are infallible and these stages are been carried devout bhaktas and fanatic theists.

Till Here, the author(S) maintain(s) the sacred steps of Love. The stages , people experience in their life.

The torturous journey starts here where the Junoon (Mania) starts the final process of destruction. This destruction can lead to self destruction of EGO or in cases where there is unquenchable madness in can lead to destruction.

ஒரு  மூகதினால்  வரும்  பித்து  நிலை 

இது  மூசமில்லை   ஒரு  முக்தி  நிலை 

நம்  காதலிலே  இது  ஆறு  நிலை 

Vairan says this stage as பித்து  (Lunatic). And also adds by saying that this stage is a stage of முக்தி Salvation and not dangerous.

The Final Stage of Love is Death. Literal meaning can give raise to obvious reasons of lost and depression and sadness. But universal acceptance of this shall be the destruction of Ego(Fanaa) and Advaita (non Dualism).

இந்த  காதலில்  மரணம்  ஏழு  நிலை 

இது  இல்லை  என்றால்  அது  காதல்  இல்லை 

உடல்  மரிக்கின்ற  காதல்  மரிப்பதில்லை  மரிப்பதில்லை

  

If a person chooses these stages for a being , I doubt he can really cross the third stage, As the path thereof with a being shall be too torturous and unquenchable. This path shall be only valid for being if he/ she tries the path of Fanaa the self-destruction of Ego. The non-dualism path and its attainment shall be path of self-enlightenment and the process of Kaivilya (Singularity). The saints of these paths reach the Shirasha of Energy chakra.

Yogic process of attaining Kaivaliya can also be an example of these.

Vairan and Gulzar have impressed me to compare their styles right from Dil se days to Ravaan. They are uncomparable so is the Language they write for.

I would really like to recreate Ghalibs verse here… stating

“He compares the feeling of love as uncontrollable fire which is very difficult to be lit and once lit cannot be extinguished.”

Satisfied destiny

Destiny is what we decide? is it? I never believe that. Do I ? Should I ? Do I want to decide what my destiny is ? I never want to. Destiny is always said the path you attain or attend to reach so called Destiny. Hence the path. Is the path what we define is worth calling destiny.

You walk on a road for going to medical shop. Medical Shop is your destiny. Path can't be your destiny. Right ? Medical shop is a physical goal. Something like need to be  a millionaire. But in virtual goal or rather goal cant be quantified , like need to be happy successful, which always tend to relate with your mental equilibrium and hence destiny is defined as the path. Small shops which you reach and buy something leading to medial shop is called destiny.

Hence Never quantify your destiny. See destiny in as many shops you can. As well said, reach happiness in what you do, sleep well daily feeling you have reached as many shops as intended or dream of. At least be satisfied with having circumstances i have reached as many shops i could. Satisfaction remains main power behind your reaching destiny. Unsatisfied mind cant work to solve tomorrows satisfied job. You intend to reach 12km by lunch after a nap you planned to reach next 12 km to reach the destination. while having the nap if you are not satisfied that you are on a right path at right speed the journey of next 12km shall be difficult.  nature gives you tasks on short mid term long term basis. goals and destiny also varies as said. hence getting satisfied and happiness in these varied destiny is much more important than reaching the goal itself. Eat a chocolate  with a feeling that it sucks. You will understand the prime motive of what is being discussed.

You may come across lot of obstacles ,people will envy you, your self confidence shall be shattered never care for the same. Be satisfied for what you achieve and for not what you want. There can't be any time in the world which you can feel unsatisfied and still reap the fruity taste of it.

PS : Never Read the last page of the novel that makes you to come to reality.

PS1: I m not the best, but my sufferings taught me what i m capable of and what i'm satisfied of.

Happy Blogging

Where we Live : An Answer

I Live Here ...A life which is said to be lived is never lived . Isn't ?  And yeah , that's true , people never live the way it ought to be. Where we live ? is my question and the answer is a nostalgic feeling and a futuristic answer. Truth can never be hidden with myth. I sustain with the fact that life is lie to be tortured to understand the sanity in  it. 

Do we live in our emotional existence or in belief that makes a reality a myth. No one understands  the truth behind living and the fact beyond human life and its existence. We are not here to be bothered of atomic existence beyond life and we are just here to realize the need to live of the way of life. 

Delusional way of living is in fact the truth of life ,do we accept to be lived in a virtual space where truth is a reality amalgamated with myth. Or do we live in a reality with existence known only to the eyes. Do we ever tend to live beyond the capturing data of optical system provided to mankind. Why , in fact and reality people live in a delusional world thereby making others feel that they live in a real world. 

Do people know how to differentiate between the said lines? Do people enjoy the myth of reality without the truth in existence of delusional world? Moreover which is acceptance? I personally feel the reality is people live in the world which they want to. They want to in the sense the reality which they make up in  their minds. We live in  the world which we create in our minds and that makes the real world so happy to live in. That makes  this physical world just a carrier that transits the real world that we create in our minds. 

And it's apt not to read the last page of the novel that makes to come into reality. I Assure the life is meaningful.

Eyes are the only reason for beauty isn't. Beauty as embarrassed by Keats, i join him , as the only thing i knew on earth and indeed still survive to know. Beauty lies really on  the  eyes of beholder and when the subject of beauty shall be the eyes, and ye are the only reason for knowing and describing the beauty. isn't? As similar to the Beauty of the eyes can be compared to varied emotions a eye can bring forth , the varied emotions of landscape a human can see , i shall compare the eyes of my beloved and its beauty. The beloved eyes of my beloved are captured similar to the innumerable shooting starts twinkling at the dusk , just like my restless eyes to watch.

Your smile , my beloved shall be compared to the alluring grandeur of the garden with its magnificent beauty. The waves of blue ocean shall be compared to your thoughts which blossom as a beauty. Birds voice is yours and my beloved your voice is as sweet as cuckoo. Life teaches every human the innocence to live and that make my beloved to be in live with you.

Culture and tradition are being taught to you and i m not one to care for the same , and the reason i m in love with you. Lets break the tradition if you wish which i m for and if you feel we are in a hurry , let our wedding happen later as decided , but till then,   , i m just in require of a enchanting kiss on my cheek , my beloved,

my beauty and  my beloved.

My Life @ Payoda...

Life is all about transport of emotions, state and nature... And i strongly mean by the word called transition which has happened to me for the past year or so. I salute my association with Payoda and the realm of  separation , is start to write my thoughts.

Payoda , the name means Bearing Cloud... Post my transition from Satyam , i was looking for an opportunity to show my skills and the opportunity from the day uno i was provided to cultivate the habit of growing skills and with exceptional team and the management , it was all set for a new career opportunity to learn and to learn...

Technically apart i m here to explain my Life @ Payoda.... My friends,my outings , movies , best and worst time spent here ... this shall remain as a memoir for my future and cherish able time recalling philosophy...  and ...

Its nostalgia , not of your child age but of a year from now. I landed in CBE airport on 25th of November. Lodged in the mansion which is near to my office and happening place of Ram Nagar where i did stay for couple of months.  Bunch of friends , is always fun when you be here , i mean it ... learn to live and enjoy is the life i lived and i shall miss post leaving here a month from now.

There are times you feel , you were lost in life and suddenly you realize , the life has just begun. And sweetest thing is you cherish those memoirs not when you lose those but on the times you love to cherish them. That's life ... take life as it comes...  


My learning here in payoda helped me to develop my interpersonal skills , my communication and most of all exposed my weakness in man management. But , time taught me a lot. I m really happy that i was associated with giants of laughter , simplicity with exceptional attitude , lifestyle and so on. To live is to be simple is what i got to know from here and i really fathom the greatness amalgamated with this bunch of fellows.

Where to start and what to , is what you will always miss when you are around this bunch of fellows. We always are around with each others magnificent sense of laughter and sense of humor  , a way of life defining itself called 'Sillarai' meaning stupidity for fun. This makes life easier. With all time bound emotions to be carried in this life , I always this way of life made me to forget my agony of past and always taught me to live at this very moment . This made me to attain greater respect to meet the given task and with greater quality and mind you with always fun as the motto. This way of life , by this i mean , the way to live easily transformed each and every individual to attain all his planned aspiration and his epitome of elixir. That's what we need , isn't it? Why we are here?, aren't we are in this innocent planet to live as fun, excitement and to cherish the need to live. Yes , we are and hence we are here. 

Is the way of live which i allied to Sillarai  started with me joining or it was there here? Do we possess this as a hidden talent? Well , actually this is a hidden talent which each and every individual owns and they tend to be afraid to exhibit the same. Shyness makes them not to have fun. This is kind of fun which is more than the word fun. The way of life mentioned here is more than the word fun , and it relates to the extreme delight to be lived for. Extreme fun i mean here , by means of enjoyment , in work , in theater in food court , in travel from dawn to dusk. We lived, i lived and i mean the same to be lived by each and everyone of the same.    

without providing any kind of vivid description of my live and make you all , head swollen, i would make it as crisp as possible.  


Particularly when Kali left for Chennai yesterday , the mood here is very dull. We either the roommates or in office are really feeling dull. Kali , Bala Kishore and myself are roommates with Anand , ramesh , Logesh and Pradeep are other members of Sillarai gang. For us , life is fun and we lived as much as possible .


My relieving date is next friday and kishore to Follow next month. Others some time sooner shall join us in chennai sooner to continue our Sillarai Gang. 

With all emotions of Parting this organization , most important the people here , i through this blog mention my deep hearty thanks to all this sillarai gang for giving me space in their hearts.

This is for me Life @ Payoda...

Ravaan Music Review : Behne de jigar mein

Music review are written to express their interest after listening to a music album. Nothing behind me as a musical expert other than being a Producer of Music Album, i wanted to write review of this film and the reasons are obvious. Mani Ratnam , Greatest known director to Vaithee and that's me and ARR maestro . What else you need? Every time ARR composes for Mani , i get to remember AE /Yuva Episode of Mani not allowing to compose songs but wanted only BG Songs. ARR Proved no director in the world can remove his songs even his mentor and guru and founder Mani. Am i right or over expressive? i believe i m not.

Not deviating from the Topic , i m here in my blog to express my first impression on Ravaan (Hindi Version of Bi lingual Film) Music. Before it was set to release on 24th of this month Beera Beera was a block buster. 

Every Film's story line is said to be guessed by the songs. Now , by Name Raavan is the movie is today's adaptation of myth book where Ravaan defeats ram? i guess so when i read directors note in the films website and his own production house website.Well all songs provide us a feeling of chasing involved. Some kind of thriller or to say some kind of a game to be played  between Vikram and Abhisek for AIsh.

Well again rather than reviewing in order i shall order in my fav listed order.

First and  Foremost is Behne De..... Provided yet another Fantabulous lyrical feast and is always true when veteran Gulzar is around and Karthik my favorite singer and it was proved. Most important the music was soothing in ones heart with its tempo and u feel ... its the song to be listening millionth time in a day...Behne de mujhe behne de.. and literally i was thrown of my feat and i was moved with its excellent rendition

Next my favorite is ranja ranja .'Ranjha Ranjha' sung by Rekha Bhardwaj, Anuradha Sriram & Javed Ali has mix sounds of Punjabi folk and remixed beats. Javed Ali sounds so different in this one. 

Rahman's favorite is up next with 'Thok de Killi'. With sounds of bagpipes and more chorus singing, the song is uplifting. Drums and bugles sounds make it seem more of a 'war' song. After 'Rasiya' in Mangal Pandey, Rahman is here again with song of same genre. 'Ranja Ranja' sung by Rekha Bhardwaj, Anuradha Sriram & Javed Ali has mix sounds of Punjabi folk and remixed beats. Javed Ali sounds so different in this one.  

My Picks : Behne De, Ranja ranja and Beera Beera. 

WIth ARR not singing , i m disappointed and i feel with rich composition i m and my desperation to watch this movie has increased....  Waiting to listen Tamil version :-)

Rating : better than Guru... and not the best  4/5 and gulzar proved he is a veteran 

We Gang Trip to Athirapally

Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan , World’s one of the well known genius of Sufi and Qawalli singer, was born in Faisalabad in Pakistan. He was trained under his uncle Nusrat Sahib which is no mere coincidence but with his virtue of sheer knowledge and born talent, he mastered his born talent of Sufi singing and became world reckoning singer at young age. My intention of blogging on him was to salute his way of singing and mastering which happened to me , to listen some of the songs from Bombay Cinema. 

For MoTA its s well known fact that I have made myself a fan of Rahat , but eventually I wanted to take this opportunity to share my views on him and some of my favorites. I would start with mentioning the first song I happened to get mesmerize was the OSO song ‘Jag suna Suna’. OSO became a musical hit with all the songs beautifully filmed . Particularly I liked the song Jag suna suna which had rahat’s touch of brilliance. With exponentially beautiful style of Sufi singing it was made easy to look, but marvelously laid singing and was equally appreciated by the audience. Ore Piya from Aaja Nachle , Bolna Halke from JBJ and Jiya Dhadak Dhadak Jaaye from Kalyug and songs from Paap : Mann ki lagan are all my desktop favorites. I watched some of his live performance thanks to You tube and was amazed with his style of singing. Seriously he is blessed with great talent and is a genius and come from a family which is world known.

wEEKEND pASS tIME…

My last weekend was marvelous with entertainment. Though my weekend usually is one day week end extending till Monday afternoon, I enjoyed sitting on my bed and doing all these. Just a snap into this. After spending the way I enjoyed and also busy on weekdays, I just managed to write this post. Much is happening in Mot and I don’t want to miss my regular posts. Hence I decided to peep in the way I spend my last week end.

I managed to start my day with watching Vinnaithandi Varuvaya for fourth time in my laptop. This movie with my previous review on the same you could have gauged it, it has become my one of all time favorite movies. People who are not in for watching movie, please vouch for listening the songs the least and ARR won’t disappoint you. I bet. After romance I decided to change my theme to drama and i felt humbled enough on my enthusiasm after watching Rajni in Thalapathy directed by Mani Ratnam. I m not in for counting how many times I would have watched this movie and every time I watch this , this movie makes me feel , you are watching a movie of a Best known Director and a real super star. Music is by illairaja and I envy him. Though the plot is similar to Karna – Duruyodhana Friendship of Maha bharatha saga, the modern day themed epic was natural and it’s a typical Mani’s Film.

After watching back to back movies , I finished my breakfast somewhere down Sunday afternoon when you all might finished your nap after lunch.

Though a regular book / Fiction / Novel reader , it is ironic to start a book of Sidney Shelton for the first time. Yes First time in my life , my hands managed to read book written by Sidney. Started managed to complete a fourth of the book . Yeah vaithee, Sidney is not bad and you can ask motaites to recommend the works of Sidney. Then I managed to read the hindu, its special on Sunday and the only respectful News paper in English, I believe. I m also half through midnight children …. Review to come soon

Between movies and books, I did manage to listen to some music. Rather it became my all time hobby to play some songs. That usually happens with most of you. I started to listen some carnatic annamayya Kirthanai’s from abhisek rahguram and then started listening classics of ARR, my all time fav songs such as dil se re and Minsara kanavu and Connections when I was on drive. Jiya se jiya I bet is the best song when u are on drive. Kanner poventi (Malayalam) the list goes on.

did manage to watch snips of IPL and kamal Hassan interview in NDTV. Then managed to see the reality music show in star plus, not much in television front….

Spending time in movies and books with songs has become my aura in life and I feel , I managed to pass my time without having look into the watch. Life goes on.

Leader ... a Review

Leader … a telugu movie directed by Sekar Kamula is an exceptional and inspirational movie. Though the plot of the movie is based on a Harvard return young Chap who becomes CM and transforms the entire State, which we have seen many times in recent years, i vouch for the perfect treatment in the screen play and Man the hero … Rana (playing character of Arjun ) grand son of Established producer Shri . Rama Naidu with his aggressive tone and perfect dialogue delivery… He impressed me a lot.

Vinnaithandi Varuvaya…  Hey I say come down to earth, break from the space enter my heart I m in love … Vinnaithandi Varuvaya. Movie, Just from the scene alpha became close to my heart. Gautham Menon, Ace Tamil film maker scored an epitome in my heart and I salute him for providing such a beautiful romantic film. Essence of every scene is experienced by each and every heart in the living world which sense love. An extra ordinary screen play and high valued lust less romance.

Well technically, the movie is amalgamation with high listed panoramas – Exceptional music background score and re-recording by Rehaman, magnificent Cinematography by Manoj, Editing by Anthony. All the technicians involved must receive that imperative acknowledgment for their quality of film making. Lead actors have proved once again that stars know how to perform with ease these simple and difficult roles.

Three Idiots @ Review

Well, I seldom write a movie review and the fact of its excellence made me to write a movie review right after and immediate after watching the same. Verdict for a movie which was loosely based on five point someone, scored a ten-ner and made myself to do a standing ovation and claps. Yeah credit goes to Stunner Man, Hirani… and VV Chopra Himself. Aamir in excellence and Karena, Sharman and Maddy managing with the heights set by Aamir. Bommi My man.

Due to my official work i was to go late for this show and managed tonight, else my show was always First day Night show. Talking about five point someone, the one of Couple of books  i like written by Cult Indian Writers in English (other being anything for u Ma’m by Tushaar Raheja) , was an awesome experience in reading and was on hands of every college-goer … in my days  a hit by itself. Chetan Heroics measured heights.

Well Movie 3 Idiots is not entirely a copy or even we can just say it has inheritance. Hirani and Vidhu proved once again they are Best screen play writers and people who can give their gyan with Comedy romance (not much though) and thriller (not at all).

3I was a gyan on Indian Educational system and comical way of experiencing the bare truth people will make ages to understand, learn is far away. Something In India whose parents run after doctors and engineers, I salute and at least one will change and win. This movie is more of Comical gyan and i liked it and dare not to salute the same. Today’s generation who are going to join college has to learn a lot from this.

Filmy perspective, Best screenplay…which explains why Hirani, VVC, Aamir are hot cakes of Indian cinema. I would in a way say this as sequel to Munna Bhai, a college avatar.

If one could say first half was comical college life, second half was comical lecture. Salute… People like me and my friends who are doing everything to reach our creative goal having one leg in paid job, it pinches hardly in heart.

The movie starts with Maddy getting emergency landing @ Delhi airport faking Heart attack and starts his journey with pant-less Sharman in search of Aamir. Most of Comical adventures were inherited from book itself with gyan from Hirani himself. That’s the truth.

Couple of scenes from book I wished to watch, and i missed, the Key duplicating incident and Hari caught red handed… (Here Aamir gets keys from Karenna herself) and the incident and moreover the loser boy climax watching the convaction from outside tea shop. I really liked  the Manali Ladakh photography,could have been better.

It was emotional , I wasted my life Kinda feeling, when the scene of Prof Elder Daughter giving birth to a baby, with due help by Aamir and his mechanical brilliance in a flooded delhi. I salute the scene and particularly when prof hands him the zero gravity pen.

Well The review shall extend its course after me watching second time and every time i watch it. Must see.

Chennai India: Broken Bridge

This is a picture taken from the broken bridge in adyar, it earlier would connect the adyar with foreshore estate, across the adyar river. This particular bridge has featured in many Tamil movies like Vaali and Ayutha Ezhathu, the ones I’ve noticed the bridge, there are innumerable movies which have been shot on the bridge. During a season of heavy rains, a portion of the bridge was washed away, what stands today ends abruptly at the in the middle of the adyar river. This is one place in Chennai which I enjoy visiting, and frequently visit. Walking up the bridge, sitting at the edge, where it ends abruptly over the Adyar River, enjoying the cool breeze, while standing at the edge, or sitting along the beach just looking into the waves while sitting on the beach sand. Something interesting about the Broken bridge.

The Broken bridge spanning across the Adyar river in Chennai, for long a haunt will finally be mended in the Sydney style. The Government of Tamil Nadu has approved the proposal to replace the Broken pillars and spans of the Bridge. The 1966 built bridge was washed away in a flood in 1977. And now the bridge will be part of the proposed elevated corridor running along the coast from the Lighthouse to Kottivakkam on the East Coast Road. The architecture of the bridge will be based on the design of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, with two reinforced cement concrete pylons on both ends of the bridge and a steel arch running across which would amount to about Rs 32 crores ,says an official. This may take some time to take effect due to its budget and this may also be replaced with any other styles depending on an affordable budget. So, lets wait to see how the Broken bridge running across the Adyar river in Chennai is going to be replaced.

If you think Chennai is a peaceful and safe city at night, you are dreaming. Wake up! you have not seen the night life in this city. The Broken bridge: Do not go to this place after say, 11 at night. It’s a kilometer and half away from Besant Nagar beach, Broken bridge is a famous film shooting spot during day-time. But after the sun disappears this place will become more spookier. You will have to go through the Ollcot Kuppum to reach this place. You might see some romantic couples here in the early evening and some group of youngsters chatting but as it grows darker the place will become absolutely deserted, there will be absolutely no lights, just a bridge that extends into the middle of the backwaters and ends abruptly. The only people you could depend on for help in case of any problem are the fishermen from the Ollcot Kuppum. But chances are that you will never ever get them to hear you when you need help. The local fishermen tell that they hear the sound of a women screaming at night, which is believed to be the ghost of a women who was murdered here some years back. So if you think, you have the nerve to go for the venture. No problem! you can well go!! But I advise you to carry your ID. Will surely help police identify any bodies recovered from the spot next morning.

Let all be fine, for us this place is as sacred, as for the night out we do daily, this is must go place. The breezy beach with foreshore view , I enjoy this place. For me this must be place more than Elliot’s Beach. “Sand bars forming tiny islets. Trees of the Theosophical Society seen at a distance. The landscape has a dreamlike quality. It is like a no man’s land. It’s deliciously deserted.”

It’s deserted, unsafe and in a state of total disrepair. But the Broken Bridge in Besant Nagar, which runs over the tidal mouth of the Adyar river, is a visual treat. A Google search on the bridge throws up a chunky volume of work by shutterbug s. And it’s frequently featured as a backdrop in films.

Its desertedness is part of its charm — and also the reason why most of those who are aware of it, keep away. “Cut off and sequestered, the area is believed to be the stomping ground of anti-social elements. It has been in the news for the wrong reasons and is considered unsafe,” “Its landscape has interesting ups and downs and lends itself to off-roading, but we avoid the place fearing trouble.”

Indian Writing

Indian English literature is an endeavour of showcasing the rare charms of Native writing in English. From being an inquisitive national explosion, Indian English has become a new form of Indian culture, and voice in which India speaks. While Indian authors have been making momentous contributions to world literature since the pre-Independence era, the past few years have seen a massive boom of Indian English writing in the international market. Not only are the works of Indian authors writing in English soaring on the best-seller list, they are also receiving a great deal of critical acclaim. Starting from Mulk Raj Anand, Vikram Chandra, Anita Desai, Kiran Desai, Arundhati Roy, Gita Mehta, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Raj Kamal Jha, Jhumpa Lahiri, Bharti Kirchner, Khushwant Singh, Vijay Singh, Tarun Tejpal, Amit Chaudhuri, Amitav Ghosh, Vikas Swarup, Rohinton Mistry, Suketu Mehta, Kiran Nagarkar, Dr Birbal Jha and C R Krishnan.… the parade of fine Indian writers is long and lengthening.

R.K. Narayan is a writer who contributed over many decades and who continued to write till his death recently. He was discovered by Graham Greene in the sense that the latter helped him find a publisher in England. Graham Greene and Narayan remained close friends till the end. Similar to Thomas Hardy’s Wessex, Narayan created the fictitious town of Malgudi where he set his novels. Some criticise Narayan for the parochial, detached and closed world that he created in the face of the changing conditions in India at the times in which the stories are set. Others, such as Graham Greene, however, feel that through Malgudi they could vividly understand the Indian experience. Narayan’s evocation of small town life and its experiences through the eyes of the endearing child protagonist Swaminathan in Swami and Friends is a good sample of his writing style. Simultaneous with Narayan’s pastoral idylls, a very different writer, Mulk Raj Anand, was similarly gaining recognition for his writing set in rural India; but his stories were harsher, and engaged, sometimes brutally, with divisions of caste, class and religion.

Certainly, Indo-Nostalgic writings have much overlap with post-colonial literature but are generally not about ‘heavy’ topics such as cultural identity, conflicted identities, multilingualism or rootlessness. The writings are often less self-conscious and more light-hearted, perhaps dealing with impressionistic memories of places, people, cuisines, Only-in-India situations, or simply vignettes of “the way things were”. Of late, a few Indo-nostalgic writers are beginning to show signs of “long-distance nationalism”, concomitant with the rise of nationalism within India against the backdrop of a booming economy.

One of the key issues raised in this context is the superiority/inferiority of INDIAN WRITING IN ENGLISH as opposed to the literary production in the various languages of India. Key polar concepts bandied in this context are superficial/authentic, imitative/creative, shallow/deep, critical/uncritical, elitist/parochial and so on.

Rushdie’s statement in his book – “the ironic proposition that India’s best writing since independence may have been done in the language of the departed imperialists is simply too much for some folks to bear” – created a lot of resentment among many writers, including writers in English. In his book, Amit Chaudhuri questions – “Can it be true that Indian writing, that endlessly rich, complex and problematic entity, is to be represented by a handful of writers who write in English, who live in England or America and whom one might have met at a party?”

Chaudhuri feels that after Rushdie, INDIAN WRITING IN ENGLISH started employing magical realism, bagginess, non-linear narrative and hybrid language to sustain themes seen as microcosms of India and supposedly reflecting Indian conditions. He contrasts this with the works of earlier writers such as Narayan where the use of English is pure, but the deciphering of meaning needs cultural familiarity. He also feels that Indianness is a theme constructed only in INDIAN WRITING IN ENGLISH and does not articulate itself in the vernacular literatures. He further adds “the post-colonial novel, becomes a trope for an ideal hybridity by which the West celebrates not so much Indianness, whatever that infinitely complex thing is, but its own historical quest, its reinterpretation of itself”.

Deep Thinking ... I breathe

“Think Deeply … Deep Thinking … Dream on, to I breathe…. Live on and hence I breathe”. Life is all about you think to dream and dream the past when you are done with the dream. Life is a game of chess where the fate always succeed winning the game and always makes you to think that you are always playing ahead of it, the fate , it winning the prime motive of playing with you. Life I define is an amalgamation of insignificant dots that you ought to cross to make it as a whole picture that you dream of and that you want to be dreamt of till ages behind and beyond your death. That’s Life.

I always walk long, succeeding as always I do forgetting the move I need to make and suddenly I find myself in a new arena. Innocence of this world shall trigger your dream to new heights if you just dream it of the way you want to. Life teaches you this umpteenth time and you seldom listen thereby realizing that life teaches you unless you are bang on. There is something ineffably poignant in the life that cures your thinking and vision and pushes you to the heights unless you desperately want to fall on gravity.
