Week that wasn't

Whenever I post a movie review, I often mention how a good looking couple with crackling chemistry on screen, make even normal and monotonous screen play look magical in a movie. Vijay Anthony, time and again proves that with a good script, looks doesn’t matter at all. Right from his first movie, Naan, which literally was the trendsetter movie of music directors donning the lead actor role, his follow-up movie Salim which was a sequel, he has showed his acumen in picking the right script that suits his limitations as an actor at the same time keeps the audience hooked. His last movie, released few months back, raised quite a few eyebrows with its title as Pichaikaaran. In the superstition abound cine industry, any negative title or one with negative connotation are always a strict NO. To rub it in he has went on to register more such “unlucky” titles for his upcoming movies as well. Pichaikaran turned out to be the biggest hit of his career and probably one of the highest grosser of th...

SWEEK memories

As a part of the entry for SWEEK, where n you’ve to reminiscence how blogging changed your life, i thought of blogging a post. The flashbacks were sporadic and random and to streamline the thought process and recollections wanted to trace back to my very first post. Since I post at a random frequency had kind of forgotten from when it all started. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was the very first word on my blog.

The back story behind the post says that it all started 10 years and 9 months ago to this date when I was impressed and intrigued curious word that I stumbled upon on a quiz show where one of the teams were named the same.

Little drops of life

Than muyarchiyil satrum manam thalaraatha gils, spent another whole weekend on movie watching binge. But sadly none of the movies made the cut to qualify for a review. In simpler terms, they were rubbish. Had a chance to read one of the best non-fiction book i have ever read, though. Courtesy a fellow blogger recommendation, i happened to check out "God's debris" by Scott Adams. Not sure how many of my friends would like it, but me felt bit happy after reading it. His thought process and mine were alike on quite a few topics and the book raises some very interesting questions. Its quite a small book, under 150 pages and makes a quick read with even pace throughout. If you are game for an intriguing session of questioning things go for it. It may not answer your queries but will surely make you wonder :) The reason behind this post was an interesting call i had. It was from a long lost friend :) It had been a while since we were in touch, contrary to the heydays when we us...
