This is the first of its kind of entry. My mind craves time to connect to self (to see whether the fire is still there under the ashes or just the remains of once so-called conquer-the-world daydream) – but you know that the current lifestyle gives anything but the time we Read more…
I didn’t expect I would be going to the theatre again for another Dhanush movie (I rarely hit theatres for Tamil movies). Only difference this time is, I didn’t go for Vetrimaran and Dhanush combination. From the initial portraits, the movie indeed sounded like slightly depressing type – which by Read more…

There were lot of times I wanted to write about the movies or TV series but the lazier side of me got the best. But this one, I shouldn’t really let that join that list. Lets say I try to avoid family drama genres, as my own is enough. 😀 Read more…

Thursday, June 27, 2019 It was drizzling and raining intermittently and I self-appreciated myself for stretching yesterday with many sight-by covering many sight-seeings as it could have been tough to cover with the rain (The rain forecast worked).
