Whats in a name :)

New year, new post..Namma thalai style la oru post podalamnu thalaraparattai thanama trying :D

Varusha varusham ethachum oru varietyana newsku Iceland maatikarathay vazhakkama poachu. A 15 year old girl has sued the Iceland government. Ennada matternu paatha, Iceland government had left her nameless (YES..this is no grammatical error or something..she had been literally nameless for 15 years!!) Iceland has strict laws on how to name the kids and they've a approved list of names it seems. If your name doesnt fall into the list provided, then you would be addressed just as a guy or a gal. Poor Blaer, has been addressed all these years as "Stulka" or gal in every government document. Antha ponnu veruthu poitu ipo suing the government. The reason why the government disapproved her baptized name is that it sounds masculine it seems. Ithu theriama antha oor priest by mistake intha ponnuku paiyan perula baptize pannitaaram!! Icelandic naming conventions are even more funnier. Antha oorula neenga Catherine, Chelsea, Chandra intha namelaam paakavay mudiathu..enna icelandic alphabetla "C' kedayaatham!!!

Ithey mathiri rule namma oorula vantha...en pera thaan firstu thookuvaanga nenakren!! Original name ponnu peru. Ram nu pera mathikalam paatha peripherla device mathiri iruku solliduvanga. Anil na squirrel erkanavay antha name register pannidichinu prachanai varum. Pesama "Gils" aiye official namea register pannida vendi thaan :)

Wanted to start off with travel stories. But this one was too good to resist :D Hope you all had a great time into the new year. Catch you soon :)

Dasvidaniya - Best goodbye ever

What makes a movie tick?? If anyone has a sureshot answer to this question every movie getting released would be a Superhit isnt it. To me whether a movie goes on to become a hit or not..if you are able to relate to it..that itself is a victory for that creator. Dasvidaniya is one such movie. It got released quite sometime back and sank without a trace for obvious reasons. Happened to watch it today and here is the review :) This movie maynot be everybody's cup of tea considering that it moves at a slow pace and doesnt have feet tapping melodies or any peppy songs. Nor does it have slap stick comedy scenes which might draw repeat audience. This is one movie best watched in DVD..at your own leisure..just soaking in its pace and relishing just the same. If its Nasseruddin shah with Vaswani 3 decades back..Vinay Pathak and Ranbir Shourie are no less a pair to match wits with them. Add in the ever dependable Rajat Kapoor you've a formidable cast. Throw in a decent script and lo..yo...

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 ...

Best romantic dialogues..EVER

Love and Freedom of expression in times of Sena wud've been apt title for this post :) Thought i would watch MNIK and post its review to show my protest. Since i couldn't i settled for watching re-runs of the usual mushy movies which they show year after year in Star and HBO. I was waiting for Nottinghill, Harry met sally, Autumn in NY, Sweet November, You've got mail and Pretty woman. Surprisingly except for the last one, none of the other movies featured in any of the channels!!! Maybe the channel guys themselves got bored :D Anyways..these movies have become part and parcel of my movie watching gene that i've mugged up most of their dialogues by now :D Here are some for you to cherish and enjoy. Without googling..let me see how many of these you can identify and how many more you could add :) " I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, I love that you get a little crinkle above your no...
