Nice to see, Good to comment (from a distance), But everything within a boundary

Place: Chennai Guindy bus stand (Next to Sangeetha hotel)
Time: Somewhere around 6:30 PM


I can still remember….

When I was to about to catch bus for Ambal nagar (waiting for some D or M70’s)…. As usual (when) I was admiring girls and Chennai’s traffic, two girls crossed me by chitchatting…

(Cut it…. Moving back, before I got to see those two girls, I also watched some group of useless fellows, making fun of whomever they can.)

Coming back, it was an exact intersection of a couple of boys from that gang with that of the two girls (I knew that, they may pass some comments), when I moved further, there was a loud noise behind me and what I got to see thereafter was two “2 Liters” Cola bottles completely filled with water where rolling down and the boys seemed to run away.

Though I have not seen what happened, every body can guess what might have happened. Later while traveling bus “Nalla Venum! (They need it), once the boys pinched the girls hips, you have to see the FIRE in both the girls, they just smashed the bottles against the boys back and they were running like DOGS”.

It’s the Age, Hormonal and Social factors, which sometimes gets overflowing for some and others get them self-controlled.


Place: Chennai to Pondy bus Via ECR

I got only the last seat this time, along with my cousin (It wasn’t a preferred (or advisable) route for me to go to my native thru Pondicherry. I really hate traveling by bus during festive seasons. As we don’t have any reservations to our city(?), we have to do some maneuvers to get a seat from Koyambedu (South Asia’s largest bus terminus)).

There were three College girls (and a ‘kutti’ girl, seemed to be one of the girls, Sister’s daughter) sitting in front of us. (It’s quite easy to trace (not judge) a girl by her look and the way they she projects herself particularly in public places)

They were just discussing about everything, without even trace of feeling, that they were traveling in a public transport (DO agree that, when a group of friends either Guys/Girls Get together, they will gossip)

The conductor came towards us and we got our tickets and so did they (but only for three, they did not buy for that “Kutti” girl), again once the bus conductor came for checking he got to notice that small girl and asked whether they got ticket for her. He did not ask anything rude or in undesirable manner (U might have seen, some Conductors to use foul languages in such cases).

He also, asked nothing is too late, get a half ticket by now, else “U” might be caught into trouble when the checker comes. He asked for the age of the Kutti girl and pat came the reply “I don’t know?” and she replied “How will I know her age?” she is my relatives daughter, I don’t know her age and all those things (the fact is she was own her sister’s daughter). Also, as though the conductor made the mistake, the girl was shouting, “If needed, I will take the ticket and don’t shout at us?” “What is the need for me madam, it is you, who are going to get into trouble and not me?” the conductor kept his head cool.

They were college goers and the future pillars of India, is it necessary to get into such act, I have to confess that, I have made some petty thefts during my young days and would get it justified my selves saying that “Why not? Does not the Shopkeeper is cheating the customers, with wrong measurements”, so I have been appointed by someone (I would say him to be “GOD” at that time) to pay back him”.

Down the line, we have to grow along with the responsibilities and duties.


Place: Near Hyundai Showroom, Ambal Nagar, Ekkatuthangal, Chennai - 97

I was walking from office to my room by 08:30 PM; a girl was going by walk a few steps in front of me, Opposite to us, a middle aged man (riding a bicycle), was wearing a monkey cap, covering almost all his face, except his eyes, he had a banana in one of his hand (which he was eating), when no one expected, he came some what closer to the girl and threw the banana peel, over her feminine part (below her neck and above her stomach), She was shocked and didn’t show it outside. We were standing, side-by-side at the signal and I thought of asking her, “ Why she didn’t react to it?” Before this I asked myself “ Why I had not stopped him?”

Yaavarum Nalam (aka) 13 B & Shall We Dance?



Any body out there trying to link both the above movies, by some sort, Ooops!, I’m sorry. There is nothing in common to both the movies.

They are ways far apart, right from the Genre, to Cast, storyline and everything. But the reason for relating these two movies is called theory of Non–relativity, which we everyone might have experienced in our life.

Theory of Non–relativity:

“We wait for a specific numbered bus, but we got to see all the other bus no’s, which were needed yesterday for us, Searching for a particular file will result in all the non-sense but those non-sense’s were once sensible and wanted ones and it goes on….”

I got to watch the movie “Yaavarum Nalam” at Sri Nidhi Rathna theatre(22/03/2009) in our Township, Neyveli. (Why not? it can be called as Neyveli’s SATYAM cinemas).

13B:

‘YN’ will be one of the few movies, which I watched without reading any reviews and the talks about the movie were up to the mark and beyond expectations.

A bilingual film, based on the plot of suspense and thriller(where the idiot box plays me of the character) were the need of the hour, rather than the run of the mill kind of action and romance films. They got the pulse of the audience to be rightly tested and tasted the success too. I’m not here to comment about the movie and describe it scene by scene, but the money you pay is getting justified and you are entertained. The news that the movie is going to be remade in Hollywood is topping the cake with ice.

Shall we Dance? (Thanks: Zee Studio for the movie and its Sub-titles)

A Richard Gere / J. Lo starring, Drama. This will be the movie, to the broken hearts, who are in need of a good light-hearted feeling through some other form, which is not got through his active counter-part.

Jenifer Lopez as Paulina, She is damn good, I have not watched her acting skills (its ridiculous to talk about her dancing prowess), the way she gets into the skin of Dance School instructor (actually an assistant to the School), is natural.

The storyline is neat and simple. Richard Gere, a married man, thinks he is in loss of something, which he could not figure out, he founds it to be happiness, he thinks he might gain it by joining the Ballroom dance school, which he finds daily through the window of the train he travels, while returning from the office. But he misinterprets J.Lo to be the instructor and he could learn from her.

But when he, joins the school, there waits an elderly women, who turns out to be the instructor and things turn head over heels.

But, later during the course, J.Lo also turns out to teach dance. Meanwhile, Gere’s wife gets doubt over his late night arrival and goes in help of a private detective to find out reason for actual delay, those Straight detectives, confirms his wife that he has a illegitimate relation with J.Lo (Actually he doesn’t have that thinking at all, and all he wants is to learn dance and which he is ashamed of telling to his wife)

I enjoyed the scene, when Gere asks J.Lo “I haven’t eat, If you also have not ate, Shall we go to the restaurant” pat comes the reply, “Are u looking for a date? If it is so, and you are not here for dancing, then just wipe it off and don’t be here again with that thought”

Later during the end of the movie, when Gere is getting readied for the yearly dance competition, J.Lo responds as “I thought you might not turn around from the next day, when I said so?” It really meant me a lot while watching the movie.

Also, finally, he explains everything to his wife and they are all once again a happy family. They way I have described the movie might or might not be the same which I have in my mind. But, it’s touching and will touch everybody’s mind. Do watch it whenever possible.

I have not written lot about 13B, but quite a lot about “Shall we dance?”. SWD is close to my heart and it is like a breeze, which you can feel along the river side.

Gen X Y Z #%*()%)_

I was watching this movie, and my mother was sitting along side of me, I used to laugh my selves, and was enjoying the movie, though my mother does not understand the language completely, I still had a small urge inside me, when there were some of the scenes, when J Lo and other casts where a bit too exposing (which is quite natural for their audience and crossing the life for us).

Finally my mom said this to me “ It’s quite a difficult dance. Isn’t it? And it is this perfectionism, which we lag?" Huuuh. I was shouting inside me…. “Not alone me, my mom too have become Gen X Y Z #%*()%)_.

‘+’ve Pressure

“Pressure” will not be the same word and it wont give you the same meaning hereafter, if you would take it positively.

Just add a ‘+ve’ symbol before it and you would love it afterwards.

Take an instance,

You die to do a thing or two, like jogging, workouts at the gym, leaving back your prolonged habits of smoking, drinking or so. But everything is set right in your mind and nothing into action, even into action, living not more than few days.

Now here comes the tool, “+ve Pressure”. Keep on saying about “What you are going to do? / What you wanted to be?” to whomever your find, particularly to your friends, who often criticize you on your good and bad.

That’s it. Your job is done, then after, even if you try not to do your duties, you will be forced to do so. Not necessary to explain the aftermaths, when you get tired or feel bored about your fascinations, the constant bullying from your friends, often remind you to be on the track of where you actually wanted to be.

No, It wont work in the case, if you take everything light in your life or an easy-go guy. At least, when you use this tool, you have to pretend that, when some one says, you can’t or won’t, it sound as you Can and You Will.

In life, some times, it’s necessary for us to have our own boundaries, inorder to enjoy the being of Human.

Oscars – It’s damn easy for we Indian’s………….

When “Slumdog Millionaire” can make it to Oscars, we can very much boast of ourselves that the Big ‘O’ is not very far from us.

When Vikas Swarup’s “Q&A” is being made into ‘SM’, we have really a lot of Vikas Swarups’ in India, whose work when being made into a more realistic cinemas, can fetch us more Oscars.

My suggestions for getting an OSCAR:
First and foremost, let the movie be of the International standard (doesn’t mean to take the whole movie in English, In SM, HINDI rules for more than half of the movie).

Reduce those lengthy songs (yes we have to compromise on some grounds, in order to make it to the Kodak theatre – Songs one of the reasons for Lagaan, TZP not making it to Oscars)

Let the movie be precise and strictly with no MASALA matters.

Let our heart and soul be put into the project (Of course needed for every movie)

Never think of OSCARS, while we are marking the movie, but think of getting a worldwide accreditation for our work

Dust up all our old and new literature works and lets paint them new with red and blue

Let there be life throughout the movie


Counter Question’s to those who question SM’s portrayal of INDIA:

My ‘Q & A’ against SM:

SM has ruined, INDIA’s portrayal to the foreign world
‘Why? Have not our Pelvic-thrusts movements and Boob shows done this already’

Mumbai is being shown, as though it is made up of only Slums and its rich heritage and Global importance are left out.
‘What about Underworld don movies, shown over Mumbai (atleast a dozen movies every year)
It creates a Bad Image of INDIA and they still find us as a country of ignorant, illiterate and ‘X’ ‘Y’ & ‘Z’s.
“Bull shit”.

Note: After all, Advice comes free of cost.

CAUTION: Sheer waste! - Please dont read...

I always wonder how come a poet can convey a lot through his poems which he has not gone thru his life... It's true that "Kavithaiku poi alazhugu" . I tried my mind out on some of these lines....

Please don’t even try to look at me….
Because I’m looking at you…


He: I will try my best to marry you….

She: If I say no…

???????????

I will make my Son/Daughter to marry your Daughter/Son…I Swear…


I have got a lot to say

But, I say very few (when I see you)

I don’t know why

Is this called the four-letter word or AMNESIA?

Babe

Babe!

you are making my day
each and every day..........

the dimple from your smile
makes me crumble

the mole on your hand
fills my soul

the dwindle in your hair
makes me rumble

i wait for the moment you ought to call, kiss and hug me...

I never wanna hear
“YOU HATE ME”
I never wanna say
“I HATE YOU”
We ever wanna say
“I LOVE YOU”

Make hay while the sunshine’s -
this is proverb
I make myself whenever u shine (smile) -
this is my verb

Surprise waits to those who can spot this babe…

I can’t completely deny that she might be my sister’s 5 months old daughter Vibashini!
