Hmm...aprumm? :)

"Hmm..aprum? vera enna matter?" Usuala this question is the favourite icebreaker topic for any idle chit chat or conversation to begin. If used once, it would very well serve its purpose as the initiator but i've come across scores of people who almost use it as a delimiter. Every single pause would be filled with it. Even if you reply in the negative saying "onnumila..usual life" then also it wouldnt subside. CBI CIA visaaranaila kooda avlo thadava thuruvi thuruvi kelvi kekka maataanga. Adhuvum if the person happens to be someone who contacts you after a long gap..sethaanga. Makkalay...ennadaa ivan ipdi solraan..oruthan manushana mathichi phone panni pesa vantha ivan ivlo scene podraanaynu nenachukaatheenga. Intha feedbacklaam enaku vantha feedback. Naan entha alavuku mokka podrengaratha..kodumai thaangaama surrender aana oru victim sonna vaira varigal thaan mela sonnapattavai :D Me one self confessed conversation moron. I do have a problem in spacing my speaking vs hearing parts. Either vaaya mooditu kaetukitay irupen..or pesarathula kaathula ratham vara alavuku mokkai :) And kodumai is..i am absolutely aware of it while conversing !! Thats a real pain if you can understand what i am saying here. Speech silver .silence golden. Elaam ok..Aana..art of carrying out a good conversation is platinum cum diamond mix. Romba romba kushtam. As much as possible i try to move the chat to my comfort zone - the written format rather than verbal. Saatharanamaa orutharoda oruthar sagajama pesikarathu avlo kashtama? over scena irukaynu yosikareengala...hmm. its something which i am afflicted with right from my school days. I have always had fear of sounding stupid and was never a confident speaker as such. Blogla mattum apidi ennamo athi methavi mathiriyaakumnu solreengala..athelaam kandukapdaathu :D The kind of career line i am in currently it requires me to have a good command over my words verbal or written. And unable to carry out a good conversation is a big handicap. Schooldaysla suthama vaaya thirakaatha paiyanlenthu..i went overboard into a thona thonappu case :) I bombard people with questions to such an extent that it has become my identity. Ivan kitta maatina kelvi keattay konnuruvaannu paathalay odiruvanga :D In a way it has acted as adeterrent against my lack of skill. Okay. Ethuku ivlo bittunu paakareengala..matter oru line silpaansikabilpaansi matter thaanga. Me have joined one speech club in aapice :) Athula every week we have to give prepared speech. Athula competitionlaam vera undaam. Schooldaysla sernthu senjirukara velailaam ipo me the doings and enjoyings too. First day self introduction topicla pesinathukaga oru Gel pen prize kuduthaanga :) I was so happy. Veetla vanthu amma kitta kaatitu inniki speechku prize kuduthaangamma sonnapo felt as if i went back to my schooldays. I've missed many things in my school life without even realizing their absence. Onnu onna ipo compensating for them :)

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...
