My Views, from Movies to political.
..the urge to let the realm know, is mine, its mine. Will even let the green grow spread dark, will even let the thunder go faintly, in the deafening stormy rain.. My war is not it. .. will let the sand pull me, work me down, boasting with best it Read more…
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…
I do at times design some posters. I just do this as hobby not a professional, so no judgements please. 😀 ..and all these started when I started designing below cards..
Me before you..and your complete inability to ever hidea single thing you felt. You never saw me before.I loved my life.I really loved it. Nympomaniac Love is not asked for, erotic is asked for. (Love comes automatically) There are only two kinds of people. who starts cutting nails in left Read more…
Okay, assume this setup. After a long tiring day, you settled back to your man cave with a brew. It’s been a while since I watched a Tamil Movie (thanks to covid, nothing is coming out). When the Maara trailer was released I felt it should be something I needed 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…
I forgot the whole story whats it about, when the Netflix announced that your season 2 is here. Scratching head, I recollected that the first season was good but had zero clue about the story. That’s what happens if you binge watch a series and the way you watch, it Read more…
Yes, I watched ‘The OA’ and am joining the queue of people asking netflix to renew its. Please, Yes!. I have watched multiple TV series (not that am proud of, but not regretting too as my list is just the top rated. Okay, then how The OA got in then?. Read more…
Why did you think? even? A serious dark grey swell stiff or late rage dying fire falling sky. See again, seldom clear aren’t thy. Thought,’ you were beyond, less I know beneath you were wicked. Wicked enough to pierce the swell, with the least you got, wanted revelry? Look down, Read more…
“Time“, I heard in a tone that weaves your heart. That’s the name of it and I wouldn’t have asked, I didn’t dare. No one knew, carried it, so deep. And so shallow, when rains, so hard. First sign, gulp of cold wind, then magic unswirled. Spirals of droplets, neat Read more…
The Wanderer Stop not, Rest not, thy said Fear not, forever not, I said Cry not, pry not, he said Walked between nots and nots. Mirage kept alive, red thickened more Soul indurated, wanderer failed again, to stop. Wanderer spoke to me, knowing he is me, Silly you, still smiling, Read more…
The gulfoss gorge was formed by flash flood waters that forced their way through cracks in the basalt lava layers. The average water flow in Gullfoss is 109 cubic meters per second, but at times it reaches 2000 cubic meters per second. This flow is enough to fill 60 transportation Read more…
I have a clear policy on when I write about movies. “Unless it impresses you, keep it to yourself”. It’s not a review; so I hope Mrs. Suhasini Maniratnam can ignore it. I had big expectations ever since the teaser hit the social media. That was one of the best Read more…
At times, I end up seeing people (never met though) with whom time failed miserably to gift the effects of aging. Their radiance defies age; they carry an aura of mystique as if they meditated for ages. Trust me, my words cant express how jealous am to see them. For Read more…
Kids these days! I never talk about work in blogs. But couldnt resist to share an event, at an event from workplace. I was one of the committee members for a Bring your child to work programme. It was such a lovely event to spend time with the kids. They Read more…
How not to cross Malaysia from Singapore At the time of writing in 2014, there are many options 1) Numberous cheap flights, 2) Bus travel, 3) train travel and the last 4) the wrong-way (legally still good). 4th option is still good with a light backpack!. I found a good Read more…
Why iphone 6 and iphone 6 plus will be biggest success ever! well, take me for an instance, few weeks back, jumped with joy for a oneplus mobile (truly, still best for the price), routing – not just routing, waiting like a scool boy for the annual vacation for iphone Read more…
..it was a typical warm evening at Chennai. It was on my vacation time. I was on the rooftop holding the little one in my arms which I can quote as the most soothing thing of that hour. Down below, the street (road) was filled with auto rickshaw noises. Hazy Read more…
One of my UK friend asked what is OnePlus one when I mentioned that in social media. I would have asked the same couple of months ago. Same goes to the word Cyanogen! All of a sudden my Note 2, gave up on me and resisted any sort of battery Read more…
Often I was asked how do I enhance the picture. Honestly, I prefer to get the perfect from-the-camera itself. However, in real world, we produce anywhere between 2000 to 3000 pictures for each trip. Selecting the right ones and slight enhancement is often becomes mandatory. I was used to these Read more…
It was my lunch time and my walk towards my ‘favourite’ (??!!) restaurant came to near halt and got distracted from my phone call. Near to the Singapore river, UOB building hosted sculpture show was the reason. Am generally biased when it comes to metal art and this was intriguing Read more…
I did. Exactly thats what I did. Generally I give down time during my vacations but there are times, I leave it that way and go. I never had any troubles. Until this time. Mine was a custom built – where I chose every one of the smallest components and Read more…
It was long pending. Last year, my ‘written’ goals for a 6 pack didn’t get me anywhere near. Furious I was, decided to take on this year. Either its me as I like to be or the lazy goose!. Am definitely going to save a lot of time to you Read more…
Its been sometime I wrote something about a movie; which obviously does not mean that I didn’t see any good movies. I liked “Gravity”, Ender’s Game, Thor – Dark world, and even Hunger games. Not just that, I watched more movies at home, “Jagten” also known as “The Hunt” Read more…
Am not Anti-Social at all, if at all the title raises your brow. If you are in a large team and generally eat with them, you will not agree with what am talking. At all! While I wanted to write about 1000 different things here, this came out of nowhere. Read more…
I will not beat around the bush for this! We will not be able to connect a router with BSNL teracom or Huawei modems, reason being BSNL modems connect as gateway where as routers expect it in bridge connection. I spent hours thinking router was faulty. Then I googled and Read more…
Movies are all about entertainment, isn’t it!. Over a period of time, entertainment mediums changing rapidly to keep audience enthused. One of the half dead medium is Magic. See this movie, and all you will feel is, there is still HOPE for it. Not like the way Obama says it though. Read more…
Generally I don’t go beyond advising people when asked about their career related questions. But this time dared myself to write a career development entry right here. Thanks to the session I have attended!. For the obvious facts lets just say I was lucky to spend time with some of Read more…
Came across an eye catching read today which talked about top 10 cities where tourists flock. With a curious eye where I have been and havent, I took a quick look and few werent surprising and few were. Here is the list first before I brag about what I feel Read more…
Nethaane En PonVasantham. Am writing this for just one purpose. Just to read this review when am old. 😛 Just for the sheer purpose to know how much of joy I got out of this movie and to realize how (much) I felt while watching this flick. I tend to Read more…
Khan came back. This time, with a gripping story anyone would fall for. Its dark, intense drama which wont allow you to yawn even if you have skipped two nights of sleep. Aamir always surprises. This time, for a change, without bothering about any ‘messages’ to the society, he gave Read more…
“Life of Piscine Molitor Patel” to be exact. I get super excited whenever a movie is made out of a book I read. And everytime, my expectations about the movie shoot sky high and come home with a slight headache as the movies generally FAIL to cover most of the Read more…
Let me be honest, I watch hindi movies rarely. Or I have started watching, ‘coz I get the subtitles in English here. 😛 I was on a ‘go for it’ mood/mode over this weekend and watched “Poda Podi”, “Thupakki” and on Sunday evening “Jab tak Hai Jaan”. First movie should Read more…
Am no big fan of Bond series but watched them motsly. Even the older editions have something in them – even now. Be it the location or the technology the imagined – makes you to watch it without forwarding them. When everybody claimed Pierce Brosnan is the best, I felt Read more…
I could have just ignored about writing this. But couldn’t do it, as its a compelling movie which is not to be missed. I told most of my people to watch it. Its that good. Barfi! is the character (our hero – Ranbir Kapoor) named after a radio brand Murphy. Read more…
Let me not beat around the bush!. Take it. Its Sridevi’s show. A conservative, typical indian house wife’s portrayal, I seriously doubt anyone else could have done better. Its a story of a mom who is happy making laddoos and plays by the book of a typical Indian housewife. There Read more…
My 10 year passion with learning atleast one music instrument still going. Slightly gave up on my Guitar but Pianos always stayed my favourite instrument for its grandness and mere simple press keys. However, Grand piano, or Piano would be a fatal mistake at this time considering my reputation of taking it Read more…

Purpose of the movies? To entertain, to make us think & to make us feel good. There are movies, gives all in small portions but fails to get recognized in individual expectations. I believed James cameron is the best until I saw Inception (Christopher Nolan). Am quite surprised he is Read more…
For a regular movie goer, at times, the posh, decent, quiet and mechanical experience makes to forget the past – how we used to watch movies in Indian rural theatres. I rarely go to Tamil movies here, considering the attitude of theatre building and the people out there. Its bit Read more…
Am going to bat for human in me and the Cylon version of me parallelly. A deep void was there after moving to new place especially when I had the whole place for me. It kept occupied (I hate the word busy!) for sometime and gave me deep and switch-off,switch-on Read more…
Its Friday! and the best possible way to cheat myself that am having fun time is to push myself to a movie!. Even when I feel sulky, sleepy with red veins in eyes. Madagascar is one of the movies I would never forget. Watched the first part with my brother Read more…
A friday evening was spent how exactly not to be spent. I dont have much options that my mind considers other than heading to a movie here in Golden Village. The trailor created lotsa interest and the ever promising Johnny Depp and the Tim Burton promised me something. Trusted that Read more…
Honestly this writing should have gone into Singapore section of this site. However, dont want to ruin the fun. So leaving it to your vivid imaginations. This long pending thing got into reality as my wife joined here for a short vacation and I ended up taking her there and Read more…
As of today (4th May’12) 65K users have rated 8.8 out of 10 for this movie. Deserves? Well, am sure its mixed. I keep my expectations at bay whenever the rating of a movie exceeds 8 in imdb.com. Reason is simple, either it lives for the expectations or fails pathetically. Read more…
A movie that really inspired me to start writing “My Views” section in this site. I follow both Dhanush and Aishwaya R Dhanush. I always felt Dhanush is polite, simple but fully packed. His national award winning performance in Aadukalam raised my expectation from Vetrimaaran and Dhanush too. I always Read more…
Am extending my writing towards non-travel related stuffs too. Just whatever caught my attention even its for a brief, here it is. Watched Marina movie last night (ofcourse this was released in Feb 2012) and wished I should write something about the daring efforts to get the real Marina Read more…
