Of miracles and other things

Ever felt like your heart is about to beat itself to a bursting stage in pressure? You are so much stressed out that you feel like the weight of the world is on your head and shoulders and whether you shrugged or not, it is going to crush you into a pulp, one part of soul at a time? The power of fear and how all encompassing it can be making every sane thing scarier and scarier things deadly? 

There is a saying that you can measure the brightness of light and can increase or decrease it but the same never applies to darkness, for its simply the absence of light. To my knowledge there is no measure for darkness. But few weeks back, i felt i had found the measure of it and it deals in sanity as its unit of measurement. When you feel suffocatingly stressed out, you can actually see darkness in bright sunlight. In times like this, mind seeks divine intervention when logic rules omnipresent, unleashing the darkness or rather not making you look for ways to get out of such situations.

I happened to witness two such miracles in a span of two months and each time, i actually said the words "i can't understand why this is happening the way it is happening"!!! Typically, it would be a cry of lament, but on both these occasions, it was one of shell shocked surprise, marveling at the sheer timing of those events. The folks who rescued me from those situations deserve a special place in heaven and i want to make sure i never ever forget about them. I shamelessly admit that as much as i remember the bad deeds done to me, i frequently over ride the good deeds done to me by many and after a while, it becomes just another deed, while the bad deeds makes one believe that nothing good has ever happened in life. And even those people responsible for those good deeds fade out in course of time. I even forget what was the bad deed but always remember the person who might've caused me harm at that point of time and simply avoid them. But this time, i am reasonably sure, i have etched these folks in mind and even if they turn out to be super villains in real life, i am indebted to them for their timely support. There is a thirukural that states, help which is rendered timely is greater than even the universe. It couldn't be more accurate in my case and my heartfelt thanks and prayers to god for showing me these folks in my times of need.

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...

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...

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...
