I the back...again ;)

Like an out of form cricketer being given innumerable chances to get into the Indian cricket team (entha cricketer pathi pesarennulam kekkapdaathu..there are so many of them like this), Chennai takes me back again for one more time.

Vanthu oru vaaram aachu. One advantage of being a night owl is, epdiyum no thookams..so intha jetlaglam oray naalula sari aaidichi. Veetla iruntha thookam varala but office pona kannu sokkuthu. Oru vela IT officelaam government office stylela work panrathunaala irukumo??!! Naama thaan punctual paranthaamannu paatha, en ex-team makkal enakku melanu prove panitaanga. I went to opice around 2. Appo thaan paathi team coming to opice itself!! Lean periodnu solraanga aana makkalaam snacks saaptu semma rounda irukaanga :D

Women's dayku post podalaya..status update pannia...atleast naalu ponnuku wish panni msg anupinianu oray the imsais. Ada pongappa. Newspaperla kashimir kundu vedippu epdi pulichi pona newsa aadicho athey mathiri rape news agitu varuthu. Bus rape..auto rape..veetla infants raped..autistic child rape nu oru ponnu vidaama thedichi pudichi rape panitrukaanga!! Hindusthaan lenthu Rapeisthana maaritu varuthu..intha timela womens day celebrate panrom sollitu already safea irukara ponnungaluku wish panni maska adikarathu avasiyama thonuthu. I fear for the safety of my friends and folks. All of a sudden aan makkal ivlo veri pudichi alaiyaraangala..illa..ithelaam ipo thaan newsa varutha therila. As I was preparing to leave I got a India travel advisory from my own aapeece. Be aware of rapists, pick pockets, malaria, dengue and kidnappers nu potu irunthichi. Was feeling very bad. And paavam antha Nirbhaya ponnu. The news about her tragedy started as bus rape victim..grew as Delhi gang rape and got blown up as India gang rape. When we were watching tv on office cafeteria the news came up and all the vellakaarans were watching us for our reaction. Shameful is mildly putting it.

Aprum, my usual airport escapades. Airport and gils iruntha kodumai illama irukuma. This time surprisingly it was relatively trouble free, except for the first hiccough. As I was clearing security at charlotte airport, I came out of the clearance and was collecting my things. I called up my friends who had came to send me off and went to collect my boarding pass. It was a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggg corridor. When I reached the counter, a vellakaaran came rushing ahead of me, apologised and barged in to collect his pass. Appo thaan I realised, I had left my cabin baggage at the security clearance itself. Unclaimed bag...running Asian..sweating like anything...suthi vara security folks. Imagine the situation. En nalla neram...before it could raise any suspicion, I took the bag and escaped from there. Athenna therila..airportukum gilskum vaasthu sari ila nenaikren. Any parigaaram palagaaram...please ping me.

Ippothaikku attendance putting..appalika comings. Take care makkalay :)

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...
