My thoughts on Rouvnjith's Suicide

I wonder how someone who is just thirteen can commit suicide . When i was thirteen , i knew only to play sports,study and have fun in my colony that had four houses.We were taken care of even by the caring neighbors when parents were off to work .I did not have any clue about what are the methods that can be used for a suicide when i was so young !!

So , is this a blessing of the advanced technology that we have .Children have access to everything these days - Movies on net, TV and I was surprised that google has pages on how to commit suicide .Parents these days too are so busy running behind the best schools and best stuff for the children but forgetting the best thing that they can give their child is their time and love. I know this kid's parents will be in so much distress now, but at least things would have been different if they could have stayed in constant touch with what was happening in their son's life .A mere school disciplinary action has taken away his life ...??? And coming to talk about school..Oh, that is a place which makes or breaks one personality . Many teachers these days are coming to the profession to teach not because of passion but because of no other career option , then what is that they can do to stop their frustration.I learnt from one of my friend too that her daughter was spanked at school and when she was back home , she noticed a wound on the spine .This kid who looks lovely as a princess is just 5 years old -what could she have done to take such cruel beating at this tender age ??

I feel this is another classic example of modern day boon which has become a bane.
Advanced technology , a great school system and more money making opportunities which are keeping parents busy making money for their children but leaving them with no time to do the little things that make a difference to their children who end up watching wrong things from the television or the internet.And teaching system ...what is the point in having all the advancements in technology when the core person -the teacher has evolved in to something totally different .

In our days , we respected our teacher and looked upon them to learn something .And even they Set an example for us . But what i observe today is totally different ...
Many children are becoming so snobbish and they have little respect for their teachers and i wonder if the teachers are setting an example for them yet!

I only wish this happens in a few places and hoping this is not the trend everywhere

Ironies of Life?

Applying that face cream , we are not going to become fairer -still we make those commercials? watch those commercials and sometimes we buy them too

We are talking about gender equality time and again but still woman want a man to give up a seat for her in the bus or anywhere and also they use the woman tag to
get things done / make it easy for themselves.And they are the first to gossip about woman too !

Man wants to flirt-around with the happy go lucky ones but marry only the sitas little do they realize their sitas were someone's gita earlier

We know the media hypes everything , but still we cant do away with those programmes or the news

We speak so much about our passion for the country , but we grab whatever
opportunity we get to go out of it

And we know that all the people in the filmdom/ page 3 circuit live almost a fake life ..still we adore them and want to have a life like them

These are some common ironies in life that i witness almost everyday...

Mesmerising Songs

Felt like listing down the songs that mesmerize me !!!


Have been hooked on to " Usurepoghuthe " from Raavanana from this morning..
Its like Karthik is singing as if he is really gonna die in her love-so much depth in the lyrics and voice ..and i dunno if its because of just music or lyrics or the voice ..oh after i watch it ..it wud be adding on to this list on the photography / direction of Manirathnam aswell

Nenjukkul peithidum song was like growing along with Vihaan in the tummy , have listened to it literally every day in my pregnancy :-)) And loved the bit of Oh Shanthi Shanthi by SPB Charan !!

Kiya hua tera wada...a wonderful song from Mohd Rafi is like i am making a wada to the song itself ..that i will never forget to mention in my list of favourites

I love "Am Alive" by celien dion -It really makes me alive in times of low feelings

And these songs makes me feel so light at heart ... Minsara kanavu ones -to be specific Manamathurai -Ooh la la ..so so nice n peppy! Pretty woman -the one from kal ho na ho ..Golmaal ..everythings gonna be golmaal .

Some at nites ..i can only relate to ilayaraja songs..
oh..when u drive down the besant nagar theosopical road during a rainy day ..
It has to be an ilayaraj song playing in the car nd my evening is perfect if the song is " En iniya pon nilave" ...Yesudas has some honey in his voice i think :-)
It feels so sweet and makes such a pleasant experience to listen ..
Ilaya nila pozhigirathu, Pani voizhum malarvanam , Idhu oru pon malai pozhuthu ,
Anthi mazahai all these are SPBS bestest songs in his career ..No wonder they made him such a big hit ...What voice !!!

Ooohhh ..Guess , high time i work on my singing skills too -as Listening Songs becomes better when you can hum along :-))

Rajneeti -Hindi Movie Review

I wanted to watch this movie because i was too fascinated by the lovely trailers and an awesome starcast.Also a little interested in politics but i dont have any clue what happens out there.. Finally we made it to the movie .Only then i realised, it was a narration which took inspiration from Mahabharatha too!

I would call it a Modern Day Mahabharata.However, i wish i had known better hindi to get charged up for some of the best dialogues.Though with the broken hindi and the expressions i figured out the story and the narration .The actors did justice to their roles.Loved Manoj Bajpai's attitude , Nana Patekar's effortless acting ..Arjun Rampal's Charisma , Ranbir n Karishma's Freshness.And Ajay Devgan did so much justice as the leader of the dalit .He was rugged ,angry and delivered a performance that was brilliant.I always thought Katrina to be the dumb doll but she stunned me with making her acting work in this movie .She carried off the politician bit so well . And the politics drama was played off so well in the movie that you are waiting to watch what is gonan happen next .

Totally , a nice movie -worth watching is what i would say about RAJNEETI !!

Singam -Tamil Movie Review

"Singam" , this name itself got me excited as my son Vihaan is a LEO and it so happened that his favourite lullaby happened to be "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" from the movie "The Lion King". And after seeing Surya in the movie stills and trailers , being an ardent surya fan.. will i give the movie a miss ?  Also i was super excited as this was my kutty singam's first movie .

Now to the review... Singam is a total masala ,family entertainer. It starts with the setting as a backdrop of a village and Surya's diction in tamizh language enhances the role played by him -Durai Singam, the dedicated but also wise police officer .Why i say wise is because he avoids the unnecessary false cases and avoidable  battles on petty issues very well. And delivers the heroic punch dialogues very well. You feel some excitement inside you when he gives some physical punches too. Surya has some charisma onscreen for sure else i don't know how he can strike such good chemistry with all his heroines. As for this movie, Anushka
fits in perfectly as the Hero's lady love . Only thing i wish , is to see tamizh cinema change the stereo typing of its heroines from just singing to dancing. Anushka did some daring heroine oriented subjects in telugu and i hope to see that she should get a bit of it in tamizh too .As far as this movie is concerned, she did her part very well .. I was happy at least there was a part where she motivates the hero to not give up but fight against the wrong ones and emerge victorious ..That was appealing !!

How can i forget talking about the bad guy who competes with the hero equally in the acting and also the characterisation . Prakash Raj is excellent,  He just gets better with every movie that he does yet has not bored us playing the bad man time and again .He performs like as if this was his first appearance as a villainous guy ...Music score was ok but the background score stole the show .Devishri Prasad had some echoing compositions for the train chase and the police patrols.

Totally the movie is packaged very well and has got everything that a movie needs .. A nice cast of actors , story, screenplay , music and everything that a movie needs.

Worth a watch ..Actually i can even watch it once more..

Totally , Singam was a  Super Duper Movie ..Now , get your tickets booked :-))
