VINNAITHAANDI VARUVAAYAA. (Will you cross the skies for me?)

Falling in love makes life complicated. But can falling in love itself be complicated. “Yes”, says Gautham Vasudev Menon in this Simbhu – Trisha starrer film. It’s all about love at first sight between Karthik (Silambarasan), a mechanical engineer with dreams to become a film maker and Jessie (Trisha), a Malayali Christian program analyst and the obstacles they face due to Jessie’s complex and confused character. Both the characters reflect the confused nature of today’s youngsters and the abrupt way in which they take decisions.

Simbhu handles the role of a youngster, with big dreams and irresistibly caught up in love, with élan. This film has definitely broken the stereotype and has brought out the performer in him. The confused young girl Jessie’s character seems like it had been tailor-made for Trisha. She definitely scores gracefully and with applause.

The first half of the film is feel good and pleasant with an unexpected twist just before the intermission. But the initial scenes of the second half, where the narration should have been racy, slow down greatly and fail to impress. At one point, I couldn’t help thinking whether the director has given the lead pair, a photocopy of their previous dialogues!

The cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa deserves a special mention. The soft romance between the protagonists and the beauty of the locations are evident in each frame. The chart busting songs by A.R.Rahman are aptly placed and the director has definitely done justice to them.

The ‘straight from the heart and true to your mind’ storyline and the outstanding performance by the actors make it worth watching. Even with a few flaws like repeated dialogues and déjà vu scenes, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa is bound to cross the skies.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hey guys,

I'm back........ with a bang o'course. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010! And o'course, here's my new year poem. Not much of a poet I am, but still......

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!

Last year was a rough terrain,

Of ups and downs, of loss and gain,

Of laughter and times without care,

Of sorrows that I couldn't share.

Half the year was kind of good,

With lots of work, li'l sleep and food,

The rest of it went like a dream,

With days that really made me scream.

There were some days I wish to keep,

Some days when I just couldn't sleep,

They made me lose my entity,

And finally changed my destiny.

Last year made me realize,

That I should always think things twice,

The words I speak, the things I do,

They make me wise or make me fool.

The lessons that I learnt from it,

They showed me clearly "This Is It,

This is My life, This is My way,

I'm here to make a Brand New Day".

And now my dear 2009,

With heavy heart I bid goodbye,

With love and mind full of content,

I welcome you 2010.

HOW IS IT?

THE KING IS GONE.....

Many people say that death is the end of a person's life. But, one death made me realize that, death is not only the end of life for a person but also the beginning of change in the lives of the people around them.

Michael Jackson was an ordinary person............................... An ordinary person with extraordinary talents.

If you ask me whether I'm posting this because I am a fan of MJ, I would say NO. It's because I wanna express my feelings about the loss of a great artist and show my respect to a good human being.

Whenever I say I'm not his fanatic, some of my friends will sarcastically reply, "Yeah, sure. You ain't no fanatic. You're a LUNATIC!". 'Coz after his death, I've gone crazy and I keep on jabbering about his wonderful talent, his music, his dance, his humanitarian efforts, etc., etc., etc. Some people even think that I've become his fan only now.But that's not true.

My passion for his perfomance dates back to 2003. Ironically, that was the year when the world's most successful pop icon faced his worst downfall in personal life - the child molestation case. There was something deep within me telling me that he wouldn't have done anything of that sort. And I was proved right (after trials, heartbreak and a great deterioration in Michael's health) after 2 years.

His sudden death came as a rude shock to me as I was one of the millions of fans who were expecting him to perform at the O2 arena. But his personal life was what shocked me even more.Before his death, I knew only about his incredible talent. But after his death, I started doing a little research(?!) on his personal life. Thanks to the websites Wikipedia, Youtube and Mjfanclub, the news channels CNN, BBC and Headlinestoday and the special commemorative edition of Times, I came to know a great deal about him. I felt so guilty for misunderstanding him so far due to the media speculations. He was not only The King Of Pop, he was The King Of Controversies and Speculation. As far as I know, no other human being has been intimidated so badly. It's a shame that the lips which accused him while he was alive are praising him after his death.

PREJUDICE IS IGNORANCE.

There are few things I learned from him:

• Be Yourself: Who else can make millions of people cry by a single on-stage perfomance, yet be shy of the spotlights.

• Be Optimistic: Who else can handle an early fame, a strict father, a love failure, a nose fracture, millions of crazy fans, vitiligo, an unstable marital life, three very little kids and a lot of debt with a smile on their face.

• Never Lose Hope: Who else can sign up for 50 on-stage perfomances with a really pathetic, drug dependent health.

• Follow Your Dreams: He did!!!

• Love: This is the most important of all. Love yourself and each and everything around you.

He changed my ideas about life.
Now I'm just returning the favour, changing the false ideas about him.

Before he became The Greatest Entertainer of all times,
Before he became The King Of Pop,
Before he became A Successful Solo Artist,
Before he became A Small Wonder in the Jacksons 5,
Before he became even a singer,


He was a Good Human at Heart.

And that why I like him.

His Music Will Live Forever

My Acrostic Poem

Sometimes ppl tend 2 be crazy. But in my case, I'm always crazy. Well a tiny info abt me is I'm a small scale murderer when it comes 2 writing poems. I jus tried out writin' an acrostic poem abt Harry Potter in February 2008 after reading the 7th and final book. J.K.Rowling really rocks. For the ones who r jus as INTELLIGENT as I am, an acrostic poem is the one in which the first letters of all the lines spell a word or name or something........ Guess what mine spells.....

HARRY POTTER

Harry, you're a friend of mine,
Always, making your wand shine,
Repelling the killing curse and
Running to the Hogwarts nurse,
You are sometimes just like me,
Patience is your success' key,
Often you made our lives bright,
Threatened us e'en in the night,
Teaching Defence Against Dark Arts,
Eating pumpkin juice and tarts,
Relishing at the Great Hall,
Rejoicing at Voldy's fall,
Olivander's words came true,
'Coz you did some great things too,
Kindness brought you all the fame,
Sweetly did you end the game.
