Trickling thoughts - Review time

"Dark Knight Rises" review kooda was planning to include "Vazhakku Enn 18/9" review also. Aana antha review padatha vida perusa poitathaala..splitting the post.

Intha padam paathavanga ellam gave very nice comments and review about the movie. Padikkaama pona kooda easya pass panidalam ngara nambikkaiyoda ezhutha pora exam maathri epdiyum padam nallathaan irukumnu oru nambikkaiyoda saw the movie. First half was like candid camera on street life in Chennai. Atleast second halflayaachum ethachum cinematica irukum paatha..right till the ending it was following the same tone. Last scenla vara revenge kooda sounded more thrusted to overcome the normal story line. Maybe..romba yatharthama kaatina kooda padam bore aadium pola. But the topic was different from the rest and semma important one at that too. Pasangalaam epdi cellphonea miss use panraanganu rombavay detaileda sollirukaanga. Same kutrachaatu came on my thalaimurai pasanga when internet and browsing centers ruled the roost. Probably ithuvum kadanthu pogum??!! Poganum. Heroineku en hero mela love varuthungrathuku perusa scene ethuvum ila. Antha cinema shooting scene where the kid, who initially rushes to the spot, filled with excitement on watching the shot, gets irritated at the number of takes his hero needs to complete a simple shot, is the only funny scene in the otherwise sober movie.

Gils verdict: Depressing at best. But could be eyeopener for some.

Enakku carnatic music romba pudikkum. Mainly if the lyrics are in tamil and more so when they come out with techno fusion mix on popular keerthanais. Last one that i fell in love with was "Nee ninainthal aagathathu undo" by Sankar Tucker and the Vidya sisters. It was not just the name that lead me to it (sic) but the song and the rendition was awesome to say the least. Have posted about the same that very day i heard it. After a while, i stumbled upon another gem in the album "Music i like" by singer karthik. After SPB he is probably the one person, whose voice lends beauty to even otherwise normal song. His voice has a soothing calmness and kutti kutti cute variety that it feels like icecream for ears. In this album, he has come out with a variety of Keerthanais, mostly known by heart to people like "MahaGanapathim","Nagumohana","Brochera" and a mangalam song on Lord Rama (my favourite of the lot) along with a medley of Bharathiyar songs. Each song has been delightfully remixed with tecno sounds and are easy on the ears and quite hummable tunes too. Without spoiling the essence of the originals he has added his own syrupy special into the mix.

Gils verdict: Ennatha solrathu.karumbu thinna kooliya :)) Go for it :)

Enna koduma saaar ithu!!!!

We are a group of 5 who share our apartment. Usually me and one more guy are the last to the leave the house everyday morning. Yesterday, the one who used to leave first for office, didnt come home till 11. I went to sleep after the usual book reading session at around 11.30. When i woke up i saw it was only me who was still lying on the mat while even the guy who leaves for office along with me, had already started folding his bed!! I was feeling very tired and sleepy and was in two minds whether i should take off or go late. Still managed to crawl..brushed teeth half sleeping and swtiched on the geyser. I turned back to see, suddenly it was pitch dark outside the bathroom!! Since the light was On inside, it wasnt power cut and i came out to see what was wrong. The guy who folded his bed, had moved to the hall and was again asleep!! Then only i noticed, it was dark outside the balcony too!!! I checked the time. It was 3AM!!! BOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! SOB SOB SOB!!! That useless guy afterwards ...

Babies day out :D

Last sunday went for my friend's kid 2nd bday party. They had invited all their neighbours and other friends to club it as a getogether event. In 2 days time their kid had grown so fond of me that the moment he saw me came running to me and took me to his new friends for intro :) I dunno what he told them in his broken language. But considering the after effects i guess it must've been something like below. "Yaruda ithu" one of the kids ask this guy "machaan..oru allakkai maatirukaan..freeya irunthena sollu..aala paatha anju farex dabbava oray gulpla adikaravan mathiri irukaan..evlo imsai pannalum thaanguvaan nenakren" "apdiya..test panni pathiruvom" Ten thousand blue blistering barnacles and thundering typhoons to all those parents who didnt come to the resuce of hapless gils. Adutha 1 hour..thenara thenara gummi. One is pulling my specs..another one climbing on my shoulders..two of them playing sarukku maram on my legs..one scientist kid did some...

From Confedration towards Confused Nation

Andru: "avvvvvvvvvvvvv.....enaku antha bommai venum..." "chellam...adam pudikathada..saapdu" "saapda maaten po..enaku antha bomma vaangithanthaa thaan sapduven" "chamthula..saapduma...amma paavamla.." "avvvvvvvvvvvvv.....maaaten maaten" "ipo sapdla..udha vizhum" "maaten...maaten..maaten" The kid ultimately prevails and the doll is bought. Indru: "Fast unto death"..."wont even drink a drop of water...till telengaana is achieved"..."blood will flow.." blah blah blah... And this time the government yields to the demand. Thottil pazhakkam sudukaadu mattumnu summava solranga. Ithuku thaan chinna vayasulaye nalla naalu kaatu kaati iruntha intha mathiri caselaam adangirukum.
