Just junior things

While coming back from his Karate class, Junior was in deep thought for a while. His master had just spoken about the few classes he had to skip because of his trip to native place and was advising on how risky the world out there is and how he is training his wards to defend themselves. He mentioned that by the end of the training junior will become a “bully” but a controlled one at that. The word “bully” had stuck something in his mind and junior made it clear that he had no intention of becoming one ever at all. There is a kid in his class who troubles not just junior but almost every other kid. That kid is probably of a higher age and had joined a class lesser than his actual batch. He is not just the tallest in the class but also physically big as well. He torments the kids to the extent that some of the kids had formed a “self defence force” to protect themselves from that bully kid.Junior said he was very angry with that kid bullying him. Nee badiluku ennada panna keta he said he reported him to class teacher and then to vice principal. They've scolded that kid which has only enraged him. But as per junior it is one of the worst punishment to get scolded that too from school people. So he feels that due sentence has been given to that kid. Little does he realize that the bully is now more focused on tormenting him for being a tattletale.Now that the sub context is done, back to the topic. 

I was telling junior that he will always be a good kid and by controlled bullying the master only meant to defend oneself and not to hurt anyone willfully. Junior said that ‘Fighting is never the answer, and it should be talking/arguing to solve any problem”. I was almost sure he must have mugged this up from somewhere or his class teacher would’ve told them. When I asked where he learnt that saying he said that is the moral of the story. I queried further and he said it was from Mahabaratha!! I was wondering how is that the moral for that story when he said that had Pandavas forgiven Kauravas kurkshetra war itself could’ve been avoided!!! Idhellam engendhuda padicha nu ketta Mahabaratha for kids nu Devdutt Patnaik bookla padichanam!! When he narrated the whole story to his mom and paati, everyone was looking at me as if I am the culprit in this story!! Neeyum irukkiye ipdi enikachum edachum urupidia sollirukia illa pannirukia nu they started comparing me with him!! Enna koduma Saravana idhu!!

Junior is wise beyond his years.

As for mom and patti - retort back that they should be happy that the son is better than the earlier generation, which is how the natural order of things are. Suggest to them that it would have been a disaster if he was only as good as his mom or patti !!

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...
