Mandatory year end post

For a person who hates changes being forced on him, I would probably have opted for more changes of my own. Most of the time, the options that I choose, from the situations or positions that I am in, many people wouldn’t even have wanted to check out for such options, considering the comfort level and settled nature established already. From what I am aware about myself, I am not that of a daredevil nature as well, opting to rebel and be a traveler. Somehow, at some point, something snaps and mind gets flagged to make a move. When or what that trigger is I’ve been never able to convincingly locate. But for all practical purpose, I would be ending this year with another change, self-invited. But this one, looks interesting and probably quite different from whatever I’ve undertaken so far. No one knows what and all I am supposed to do including myself and no one is sure what i am definitely supposed to do as well. But that had given me an option to pick and choose what I want to do and how. Till the honeymoon period lasts, it is all for me to make merry.

Supershanki crossed 400K hits and going by the pattern, the days when there are no posts, seems to invite more hits than otherwise!! Ennayaa sollavareenga!! Intha 400K hits ku piles kaaranam (Moola kaaranam – self thooo) mister thalai avargal. The one Jeevan who always responds to my post and ensures this doesn’t become yaarumay illaatha tea kadaila yaaruko aathitrukara tea scenario.

2020 vara speed paatha aarambikrathukullaye mudinjirum pola. Days are rushing past so fast and quick. Off late starting to feel old (never mature though!!!) I rarely look at mirror and least bothered about how I look. But when I look at my peers and college mates I get surprised to think how fast they/we have all become adults and getting older as well. The faces that I saw during my school and college days are no longer recognizable and remain only as memory. Fact that there are at least 2 decades in between the meets doesn’t help either. Some of my friends who got married right out of college have kids who go to college now!!! Either way, coming year was supposed to be the year India should’ve become vallarasu. The only semblance to that dream is a nightmare of a movie by that name by Gabtun vijaykanth. Vallarasu agaramo illaiye “Kallarasu” confirmed. Irumal thummal na kooda kal eduthu bus mela eriyarangapa!!! Edhu epdio..ellarum nalla irupom nallathaiye ninaipom. Advance wishes for the two20 year.

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...
