Memory-al day

Gilsbert and his Mrs. are starting for a function.
“Intha dress nallaruka?”
Even before the sentence could finish, pat came the reply “yes” from Gilsbert
“Adha dress paathu sonna nambapola irukum..engayo paathutu edhuku yes sollanum?”
“Nee edhu choose panirunthalum Nalla thaan choose panirupennu oru nambikkai. Case in point being me..heehe”
“Sagikala..seri..idhu epo vaanginathu theriyuma”

That “Sethaanda segaru” moment which every member of married male clan goes through – remembering when which dress was bought and for what occasion. I am obliged to state here, without prejudice, that, when it comes to remembering dresses and dates, womenfolk win hands down. I can give it in writing that no guy would ever remember when he bought a jeans. Enniki kadisia wash pannathu is an even tougher question. But date, time, milli seconds varaikkum, thannoda dress mattumillama mathavanga dresskum note panrathu is nothing short of miracle. Back to square one..err..the post.

“hmm..wedding day ku?”
“Sutham...ivloooo periya photo frame panni hall la iruku..appo kooda you don’t remember?”
“huh..naan sonnathu wedding anniki illa..anniversary”
“Adhuvum thappu”
“hmm..reception?”
“No”
“hmm..un birthday ku vaanginathu?”
“apdiye vaangi kuduthutaalum…oray oru teddy bear..adhuvum birthday mudinji oru maasam kazhichi gift panna aalu thaana neenga”
“Adhu Flipkart seitha sadhi”
“mmkkum…seri naaney solren..idhu thaan namba betrothal anniki naan morning poatunda saree..betrothal ennikinaachum nyabgam irukka”
“late aaguthu paaru..kelambu..intha KBC show apruma vachukalam”

*mind voice* Shabba…kanna katuthey..great escape.

While coming back..” naaliki receptionku namma engagement ku vaangina shirt and pant potukonga..” came the suggestion.
Avvvvvvvvvvv….

Well, Gilsbert is in deep trouble. It is OK to forget what you gave her. But if you forget what she gave you, you better wear full body armour.

Timeline by Micheal crichton

Michael Crichton along with Arthur Hailey is my favorite author. It gives immense thrill to read their books and their storylines are full of insights on the industry or genre or the institution about which the premise may be based, almost like reading a subject matter book but interestingly written in simple language which can be followed by laymen. I remember reading this book sometime around my college first year or may be bit earlier around that time. It was obviously a hard copy and was shared with me by a school mate of mine, who was also the one who introduced me to Asimov. He gave me "Prelude to Foundation" that i read for almost an year. "Timeline" was intriguing and kept me interested sheerly by its concept of time travel and i was smitten by the thought process when i read it first. This time, co-incidentally, i was also watching the movie based on the same story in parallel and somehow both the book and the adaptation were disappointing! I can understand...

Sambhavam : Adhyaayam onnu - movie review

Kudos to Malluwood for having owned the sci-fi and other fantasy genres from Hollywood. They've managed to create hits on the most difficult genres to succeed in India. Be it Minnal Murali or Lokah chapter 1 and several other horror/thriller genres as well, Malayalam story writers have aced the art of coming up with mind boggling scripts rivalling their Hollywood counterparts. Even for those that are lift offs from Japanese Korean movies, when the same is available for every other director, the best work comes from their industry and credit should be given where its due. I am not sure if this movie is an inspiration from any other European/Asian or American version, but the presentation, picturisation everything keeps you spell bound and is quite engaging as well. Storywise, it is about time loop concept, possibly the most interesting yet potentially confusing of plot lines. A police officer gets transferred from city to a remote village. He sees an accident on his way to the stati...

Rookie - web series review

Despite this coming up on the "Next to watch" timeline, i kept skipping it for no reason. When i felt really bored last week, started watching it and after a slight binge watch, i am into season 4 in no time!!! Not that it is that interesting or racy for that matter. But there is something earthy and grounded about the whole premise which keeps you entertained!! The story is about a real time oldie who joins the LAPD as a Rookie cop, having only a decade or so for his retirement. How he comes up in grade and his team's exploits form the storyline so far. The way they've set the storyline, it makes Los Angeles seems to be the bed rock of criminals and illegal activity!! Every episode has at least one gun fight or a drug bust or a kidnapping or murder!! Of course, with the premise being based on police activities, you can't show anything else. It is like having a drama series on doctors and complaining that all episodes deals with diseases and death!! I agree! But c...
