Kuzhandhaiyum Deivamum

There is an age old proverb in tamil...that babies and god are alike...faced an incident sometime back which made me to revisit that proverb .....banglore vantha pudhusula friends kooda ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) koviluku poi irunthen...its in a place called Yashwantpur..which is around 2 hrs journey from where i stay in blore...got up early morning to avoid the hot afternoon sun and boarded the 6 AM bus...reached there at around 8.30...wow..it WAS a sight to behold...onnu cleara therinjuthu...it was definitely not a temple built with rupee but with dollars and dinars....very richly done and beautifully decorated...pity we couldnt catch it in its glory at night as we left midday...well..its built like a hill...atleast u'll get the feeling of climbing one....Tirupathi venkya ingaiyum paakalam...thoonilayum thurumbilayum irukavaraukkaga..oru sannadhi iruku...looked cute, as he is always :)... ( konjam friendlya ipdi thaan naanga pesikuvoam...athellam kandukapdathu ;))..after crossing few more sannadhis reached the main hall....its a huge one..sorry HUGE HALL....seriously big...it had three murthis..of radha krishna and ..hmm..rest i forgot...(refresh panikavachum thirumba poanum)...prayer halla..so sathama moochu vitta kooda muraichi paapaanga....there i saw something which was the trigger for the blog... (eppadi...atlast matteruku vanten:))...rendu family...onnu local kannadiga...and other one..guess some marwaris...they had come for darshan..with their kids...the kids wud've been hardly an year or two old....they were playing and disturbing their parents who were trying to medidate...soon those kids started playing together...ennamo pesikuthunga...saami padatha paathu onnu innonuthuku kathailaam solluthu...ithu sirikuthu....they gelled well....and were chattering like anything..as if some long lost friends where meeting...soon their parents finished their prayers..and were all smiles at their kids playing....funny part was...they cudnt understand each other..as neither of the family members spoke english or hindi....strange it was....grown ups, we are called and we couldnt understand each other...with all the language skills at our disposal..but those kuttis...who i seriously doubt can say anything other than Amma appa...were "conversing" freely among themselves......just like god...we pray to him in kannada..english..hindi..ennalaam lanugage irukko...athila ennalaam prayers iruko....ellathilaiyum pray panroam...does tht mean...greek god doesnt know spanish...or kannada god wont understand punjabi...pesa mudiyathavanga appo pray panna mudiyatha...wont god bless them...it was simple...LOVE has no language..and GOD is nothing but LOVE...anbey sivamnu summava solraanga.....it was a revelation for me...blore vanthu 3 years aguthu..i am yet to learn kannada...but tht is hardly a hinderance here..(still no excuse for not learning kannada though)...well...guess went bit over head... but it was really an amazing experience...

Well, jokes apart, it truly is amazing how kids can communicate so easily and cross the language barriers. But on reflection, I felt unlike adults, kids have a common language - mazhalai. That is not dependent on the mother tongue at all. I see that everyday in the way my son communicates with his friends here. They are all two year olds and they play happily with each other, talk with each other, while we adults struggle to communicate in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi etc....

Kannadasan was right when he said :
Eerezhu mozhigalile yenna mozhi pillai mozhi
kallamatra vellai mozhi
devan thandha deivamozhi

Ode to the Nice Guys

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style. This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they...

Padithathil pidithathu

Few authors thrill us to read more of their creations. At times its sheer luck that we might end up with the worse of their lot and might give up on them only to find many other good ones which we would've ignored based on first impression. James Rollins is one such author. My friend's sister introduced me to "Map of Bones" and told me that its in the same genre of "Davinci Code" and since i am a sucker for adventure series she recommended this one to me, with a warning that, at times this guy goes over the board like Ludlum in describing situations. With that warning in mind i began the book. I took my own sweet time to finish it but the book kept me interested. However many times i kept it down i always went for it again to know what happened next. In the end, i pretty much liked the story, though it was totally unbelievable. The story is about the bones of the Three wise men or Magi who visited Jesus when he was a kid. Their bones held a clue to a vast so...

Hearbeat - season 2 - review

What makes a drama series tick, in OTT, that too in Tamil? The question should've been pretty straight forward and not as difficult as it is for making a successful movie, for drama series are dime a dozen across scores of TV channels and none of them are found wanting for audience. The more the cry the merrier the TRP. In that context, the only challenge that OTT platforms might've had while streaming tamil series must've been to choose the path - either the well trodden and worn out cryathons aligning with Satellite channels or try for something genre specific like how they do across English and other foreign languages. This is where Heartbeat series in Hotstar finds the fine balance between being a soap oppaari (no pun intended) in tv and carving a niche OTT audience.  While the setup might've been familiar one for Hindi audience with so many series happening on hospital based storyline, i guess this is a first for tamil. The first season was more on establishing the...
