Imsai Arasan 23aam Pulikesi

Hi All,

The title says it all. Saw the movie yesterday.

Liked it a lot. The chief reason being, Vadivelu.

An amazing actor. Real fun to see him with the curved up mustache.

The whole movie is just mindless and senseless humor.

For people who expect movies to be logical, better avoid this one.

The movie's strength lies in its irrationality and illogicity ( For those who are wondering whether illogicity is a valid and established word, I checked it. It is :)).

Whatever the critics might say, worth the money you pay for a ticket.

Though it isn't as funny as one would like it to be, the movie still entertains.

The plot is very simple, twins are separated during birth by the scheming back - stabbing

Raja-Guru ( Chief- Tutor). While one ( the 23rd Pulikesi becomes a puppet and a pawn in the hands of the Raja-Guru , the other twin, Ukkrabuddhan goes on to become a great warrior ( who later becomes the savior)

Meanwhile the innocent Pulikesi is brain washed to extend full support to the British regime in India. Ukkrabuddhan saves the day, by the age old double-act. By swapping places with his twin, defeats the British and reforms the Raja-Guru . All live happily ever after.

The movie is simple and straight forward.It doesn't carry stupid sentiments and is a welcome change. A decent movie which can be watched by anyone. After so long a family entertainer in its truest sense. The movie has its own setbacks too , like for instance the music could have been better. The plot could have been made lot funnier . But if we don't encourage such movies right now, then there might come a time, when only "Dada"type movies are produced.

This may not be the best effort, but nevertheless it is undoubtedly a good effort.

Can definitely be watched once. :)

Moody, touchy and irritable

Hi All,

Feeling moody as I post this.

I put my trust in you,
Pushed as far as I can go,
For all this,
There's only one thing
You should know..
I tried so hard and got this far,
In the end, it doesn't even matter.

My brother keeps telling me, that whenever he's down, he listens to this particular song of Linkin Park's.
And for the first time, I can't argue with him .:)
So true.. So very true. Just play the song with max volume. It helps. It really does.

New "old" template

Hi All,

First, feels nice to back in my turf. ( He he :) Nice to have good things beside you ).
Since I changed back to my old template, thought of writing about it.

Disclaimer : All statements that follow are exaggerated and intended only to make others smile :) (Yeah you can laugh or cry. Depends on you much you can tolerate mokkai's;)

Note: Mokkai is a word in Tamil meaning -Superlative usage of "blaydu". Jokes that literally kills or capable or causing extensive damage. Source - Wikipedia )

Made a blunder in changing the template.
Didn't feel like making a post after the change.
Felt alienated(???) in my OWN blog (!!!).
It defeated the whole purpose of blogging for me( Which is to make it as personal as possible . To find my own space, my own identity )

Learnt some important life lessons (???) from this incident.

1) Never go for something that looks good on others. It would not suit you in most cases. Things that work for others does not always work for you. The other template looked professional, nice and is obviously a better choice. But it didn't suit me at all. For the simple reason my blog is not professional. Its personal, the space for my over flowing thoughts ( yeah that's in the header).
Go for only those things that suit you.

2) Never feel ashamed to turn back , once you made a blunder. Its never right to live with a wrong. Once you correct yourself,it gives you immense satisfaction.

3) Always embrace the good things that shaped you into who you are now .In my case it was my blog.

4) Errr.... Don't have a fourth life lesson to write about :)

Feeling light and bright .

Till my next post.

CIAO.
