Movies I am looking forward


Certainly first one is Sivaji - The Boss. With three big names - Rajini, Shankar, AVM behind it Sivaji is surely in the top of my list. It seems Rajini is playing double role in this. So far Shankar is quite successful in keeping the story (even the stills too) secret. Shreya is doing the lead role against Rajni. Vivek is doing the comedy. Rajini's manerism are getting copied by all the new heros. so Rajini wants to try out something new in this. Lets wait and see what superstar has in his kitty.




Pudhupettai. Movie from selvaragavan. With 3 consecutive hits, selva's mevies have a hype. Yuvan has made some good music (althouth they reminded me few english albums). Still good effort. And the cassette sales is also going good. I certainly liked the songs especially the theame music and 'Enga area' song. So far yuvan - Selva combination has done quite well. Hope they maintain it this time too.


Vettayadu vilyadu. Directed by Gautam. Vettayadu Vilayadu is said to be a racy thriller. After his successful cop story ('Kakka Kakka') Gautam is trying out one more cop movie. Jothika plays the lead role against kamal. Kamalinee Mukherjee is also in the movie.

whom to blame?

Prelogue
What started like yet another saturday turned out to be an very 'interesting' day for us. We (myself and ulu) went to a hospital to pick our friend's bike which he left there a week back. He told the bike's registration number as xxzy. We couldnt find the bike in the place my friend told me.We enquired the gaurd over there. He asked as to look at the nearby stands. We found a bike of same make, model and with registration number xxyz. I tried to reach my frined to confirm the number but he was in journey, so i couldn't get him. Thought we could try out the key. which worked fine. Movie begins now...

One guy called us from behind and asked whose bike is this. We told him the story and told him we are not sure whether this is the bike we are looking for. He asked us to wait and got the key from us. We waitd there for ~10 minutes. He sent word to someone (suposed to be the owner of the bike). He was not ready to listen what we are telling. He asked me to give the bike key to him. And i did so. All the sudden 5-6 people came. All looked like well built gundas. The way they approached us itself rang a siren inside me. One of the guy started hitting me. Ok... I realized no point fighting back as i can see 7-8 around me just waiting for an opportunity to hit someone. I tried to convey them that either call police or their head security and they don't have rights to hit us.

They didn't the like the idea and the ponit that i am talking against them. Meantime the first guy who called us hit Ulu. Three people surrounded him. He returned one punch on that guy. Good punch but no so for Ulu after that. All the people who were waiting to hit someone got the 'Bakra'. I called up one of my friend when everyone's attention was on Ulu. Neverthless one guy was holding by my shirt so running out of that place doesnt seem to be a very good idea for me. Hmmm....Coming back to Ulu, since he showed some resistance they wanted to show their power. They started to hurt him. Badly. He tried to run awaw from them but in vain. Watching this scene increased my fear. These are no jerks. They are manics who just like hitting some one.

Now, i got some chance to run from them. I started to run towards the hospital reception hoping to find someone who will talk and decide what hapened. I stumbled and fell down. I needed 1 minute, calling cops seemed to be best and only option left for me. But i needed that one minute for that. I looked towards Ulu, there he seemed to be in midst of poeple. One of them is having a big stone in his hand. His hand raised and moving towards Ulu.

I could see blood coming from Ulu's head. One of the person from hospital came. He stopped them from hitting us. Enquired us about what was happening there. I got the one minute window. Called the cops who promptly replied 'no English/Hindi'. So Ulu explained them the situation in telugu and asked them to come immediately. We called up few more of our friends. Gopi, Anil, Akshay tuned up in 10 minutes. Kasi came shortly then. We filed an FIR. Handed over them to police. Ulu got a CT scan done. Luckily Nothing serious. Entire things (after our arrival of the gundas) hapened in the span of 5 minutes may be less. But i could recollect each and every second of it. I am sure this will be same with Ulu too.

Epilogue
Both Ulu and myself are safe. Kasi found my friend's bike some where near the place where we were fighting. no one knws how it mov from the place from where my friend has left it. According to Ulu the entire incident looked like the climax of 'Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi' .

Corrupted to the Core - I

I was sucked up by the work today. Turned out to be one more night out. While relaxing from the work thought of blogging about an interesting incident.
Me and my friend went to hotel and returning to home around 11:00 pm. We were stopped by traffic police near a check post. Usual questions about license, RC etc., etc., I had license and RC. I showed him both. My bike has a temporary registration number. I showed him the copy of purchase document. He thought for a second. Then said 'Sir, give some money'. We thought for a second and asked him why. He kept on repeating this. Unfortunately we didnt have any money. Together we had 7 rupees only. we told him that we dont have any money. We just have some coins (5+1+1). We even showed our purse. He got that seven rupees then only he let us go.
I am not writing this to make fun of that person or something like that. But the point is we are so used to corruption that we don't even bother to refuse such simple things (yep, i am also in that shameless list). We take curruption for granted. Heard from one of my friend that 'In a government project if 20% of the allocated money is utilized properly then it is supposed to be a succesfull project'. Meaning remainig 80% goes to someone (or someones) even in the successful project. Think of the not so successful ones :(. It is not just the upper layer who gets it. It starts from the top and all the way down to last person. When we are in the receiving side we just don't think about the giving side.
To be continued ...

Two Donkeys

My friend (Sunil Kumar) sent this to our group.
-----
Once upon a time a Washerman was bringing up two donkeys. Let us say Donkey-A and Donkey-B. Donkey-A felt it was very energetic and could do better than the other. It always tried to pull the washerman's attraction over it by taking more load and walking fast in front of him.Innocent Donkey-B is normal, so it will walk normal, irrespective of the washerman's presence. After a period of time, Washerman started pressurising Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A.

But Donkey-B unable to walk fast, got continuous punishment from washerman. It was crying and told personally to Donkey-A "Dear friend, only we two are here, why to compete with each other....we can carry equal load at normal speed -". That made Donkey-A all the more energetic and next day it told to washerman that it can carry more load and even it can run fast also.

Obviously happier washerman looked at Donkey-B.., his BP raised and he started kicking Donkey-B. Next day with smile, Donkey-A carried more load and started running fast. But it was breathtaking for Donkey-B and it couldn't act that way....But the washerman was frustrated, so he harassed Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell down hopelessly.

Then Donkey-A felt itself as a supremo and happily started carrying more load with great speed. But now the Load of the Donkey-B is also being carried by Donkey-A.,and still it has to run fast. For some period it did, finally due to fatigue it got tired and started feeling the pain. But washerman expected more from Donkey-A. It also tried best, but couldn't cope up with his owners demand. The Washerman got angry with Donkey-A also and started harassing to take more load...Donkey-A was crying for long time and then tried its best...But it couldn't meet the owner's satisfaction. Finally the day came when due to frustration the washerman killed Donkey-A and went for searching some other Donkeys.

Its an endless story..........

But the moral of the Story in Corporate life is......,

"Think all projectmates are same and that everyone is capable....Always share the Load equally..... Don't ever act smart in front of your Boss and never try for getting over-credit... And most importantly, Never Work Hard, Work Cleverly.....

Review: Kalaba Kadhala

Cast: Arya, Renuka menon. Director: Igor
Story goes like this. A city guy(Arya) getting married to a village girl. One hour goes in setting the stage to tell that they love each other. Heroine's sister come to their house to do some course. She falls love with Arya. Arya refuses to accept her love. Rest of the story is about how these people try to avoid/meet/make love each other.
There was a sigh of relief when the movie was over. I am not sure what the director wanted to convey. BGM was pathetic. Haven't seen a movie which is worse than this.

Kalaba Kadhala - Avoid.

went to chennai...

I went to chennai this weekend (18,19). This Saturday (18/2) was my brorher's BDay. He is doing his MD general medicine in stanley medical college. Since saturday is his admission he was too busy with hospital work. He left to hospital before i even wake up (not that i am a early riser). Decided to call up few of my friends in chennai.

Could get hold of few school mates. Then I Called up Selva (D'sel hereafter). I decided to go to his place in adayar by bike. We called up few of friends. Its been long i talked to them. Evening was pleasant. So far so good. Then we decided to go for a movie - Kalaba kadhalan. Unluckily we got the tickets in satyam. Mu brother also joined us. Before entering the movie hall he told us that he and his friend are having a bet. simple bet. "Can you watch the full movie?". So we decided however boring the movie may be lets watch it fully. I personally dont like going out of movie hall in between.

you know what...he lost the bet. So you can guess how good the movie must be.

I hate ulu - Ulu


This dude in picture is my roommate . He is working in a s/w company in hyderabad. He was my senior in college - REC, Trichy (now NIT, Trichy). We always used to fight about the Indian economy, status of India, Why we(Indians) are bad or good (though he never agreed that India is good in anything)..... I will bloggin about our conversations soon. But surely he has different perspective of India than me. So i just like to start some topics for our discussions(if you want to say politely or fight in normal terms).


ok...I should do some justification to the title. Interestingly he never liked his name nor his nick name (ULU). If Anyone has some interesting name please send to him. His theory is "I will christine my son/daughter's name according to their wish only".

Kanda Naal Mudhal

Recently watched the movie "Kanda Naal Mudhal". Storyline is bout 2 childhood friends who happens to meet after 20 years and how they react to each other. Yuvan has done a amazing work. I especially liked 2 songs very much
- Kanda naal mudhalai..
- Panithuzhi...

After watching the crap movies which released on pongal this surely is a treat.
