Kaathaadi manithargal

When i started blogging, i considered it as an alternate to diary writing for two reasons: one- ezhutharathuku avlo somberithanam and felt insecure with people poking nose into my polambals, which is heights of hypocisy considering all these posts are the very opposite of that intent and two - a kind of record for myself to read through at a later point in time, for i am very forgetful with life events and atleast whatever little i could keep track through these posts will trigger some memories. In short, you couldn't have ventured into a more narccissitic blog.

I've always had fear for unknown and still do, yet monotony scares me more. From the track of it, whenever i changed companies i've always had this confusion whether was i right with my decision. For in almost all cases, the trigger to quit was never because of job pressure or lack of satisfaction and sal hike has rarely been the reason. Infact, all the places from where i moved on had stabler environs, friendly teams, buddy managers and a relaxed job at the best. Still, oru stageku mela, bore aaiduthu. Differenta edachum pananum, adhey samayathula maasa maasam salaryum regulara varanum apdinu nool lenghthu ethaapola parakara pala kaathaadi manushangalla i am also one. E Pluribus Unum you see :) Enga poi sikkika porennu teriama kaathadikara pakkama parakka try pannalum, i want to root myself somewhere. Pona jenmathula pollen graina poranthirupen nenakren :)

Guess we are all like kites in many ways. Family, peers, society ipidi pala constraints determine the thread that holds us or limits the heights we can fly. Sila per, pull apart from all these constraints and get sikkified somewhere. Silar apdiye kaanamaiyum poidraanga. Silar parakkatha kaathadi mathiri ezhumbarathay illa. Replace kite with anything, life and people will still make a meaningful resemblance. Ivlo simplea explain panna koodia mattera irunthaalum, en vaazharathuku avlo kashtapada vendi irukku?? Kaathadikkay velicham.

Appalika meetaren. Varta :)

True about katthadi manithargal....there are many there but some have got anchored after flying aimlessly.

( btw, you are a book lover and must have read Zen garden by subrato bagchi, if not lay your hands, there are many katthadi manidargal who have made it big in that book)

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...
