Subbu's code

This is the book which I bought with all hurry and completed in one swing ,crazily at office.Subbu's code has cartoons throughout with witty lines engulfing  message and fun.Author has got good comic sense which we can smell it from acknowledgement to epilogue.Pictures were speaking to readers in their own style.Author has built a strong character for Mrs.Subbu though she comes less frequently in the plot.Her explanation suppressing superstitious thoughts with her rationality is cool. As a whole,subbu's code is a book of fun ,pictures and message.worth a read.
P.S: Author Balasubramanian ,friend cum wellwisher deserves hip,hip hurrah for bringing back the culture of graphic books.

Mary Kom Movie for a gentle push

Mary kom movie is the last unvisited movie in my laptop as of now, hence went in a jet speed with fast forwards after a mediocre lunch.I felt this movie as like any other A to Z fighter types  Bhaag milka Bhaag,Chak De India.Similar  storyline where survival of fittest works. A poor girl from small hill town traces her interest,ran behind it and how she stays with it is the crux.Priyanka chopra has done a good job capturing local slang to rigorous shots ditto as an athelet. I really admire mentor-mentee relationship,which has come so well in this movie too.Sunil Thapa  has lived as coach throughout the movie .Craftmanship has come out incredibly well.Thin but stronger line of love and emotions has come out  well too.Songs of all genre,real life story with philosophicals here and there makes everyone to say worth for a watch at the end.Though there were many other characters to narrate about,I found impact out of Mery Kom and her coach.

Impressions

I have painful laughter with kids and pets.I made a practice to spend at least few hours with them everyday.Whenever I read quotes which I enjoy, I notice superficial quotes on love,affection et al.Probably all speaks one and the same socalled sadness and sorrow.As people grow up they write quotes,but kids and pets expresses it without holding it.I find this kid who usually says "love you" and "take care" to me,fellowmates and of course to our street dogs.I learnt many from her ,how to express beautiful emotions without a wrapper around it.And these are called my lovable moments.

crystal clear

Whenever I see people with clear vision,I have unusual happiness.Just a simple talk with them clears my mind from thousand thoughts.when people shower clarity in equations,mathematical models  they are bit clear with personalized equations too.Had a healthy conversation with my boss where topic touches everything as a whole.Grey areas are  clearly visible in my eyes compared to black and white.Sometimes harder to put all thoughts in words.While speaking with clearheaded people,it soothes me ,Strengthens me  and makes me to take life less serious.

fortnightly movies

I have become a movie buff again,bunking mid semester exam for a sake of movie.Here goes collection of movie reviews
Sigaram dhodu:
 Had a good watch with my M.S folks after bunking mid semester exam.Its a pleasure to watch movie in my native language,where local jokes can be felt as it is.storyline is good with vikram Prabhu as hero.Again a thriller movie from his side ,this time dived deeper into ATM robbery.loving thrillers all the way,as it gives puzzles for my brain.Neverthe less,songs are not promising but enjoyed trekking spots pictured.One time watch with  pals.
Finding Fanny:
From my perspective, movie has nothing in it..I expected much similar storyline of Letters to Juliet movie but as a whole,its a big mess.As I am hardcore fan of Deepika ,I thought of watching it in bigscreen but thanks to my room mate ,who brought movie to my lap.Literally bored of with dull music ,monotonous scenes and nothing more than so called term love and lust.Never I recommend anyone to watch,not even a try

Jigardhanda:
      Its one such good movie again in my native language and movie revolves in and around Madurai.So much connected as I am after all maduraivasi.It has a good storyline with lot of for loops.Director Karthik has done a clean literature survey of Madurai from local dhadhas to kodhu parotta,from sourashtra clan to sundaram sarees.Serious scenes are diluted with comic sense. Director is inspired by Tarantino's style and it's clearly visible in most of scenes,good try .Limited philosophies,lot of actions inplace of words .As a whole nice watch for Saturday noon.


To kill a mockingbird

Took such a long time to write review on "To kill a Mocking bird",doubting my wittiness while condensing it .One such book I enjoyed thoroughly where nearby voices became mere sound.Author Harper Lee has given life to characters by her casualwords and powerful ideas.Its a book which made me feel the intangible thing lying beneath every soul which is rarely exposed after a threshold point.Let it be black,white,kid,lunatic,father or a friend everyone has a view ,that need to be respected ,can be negated without crushing their view.Author has penned down  her beautiful experimentation with human behavior.Atticus,Scout and Jem Finch are memorable characters.I found a great impact on me by this solid book.Atticus has a powerful convincing skill as a father, as a lawyer,as a citizen,as a fellowmate and he can do justice to any role he gets at any point.I am impressed by his graceful context switching.
                         One such read might take quite longer time to forget.

handful of ashes

Slightly when I turn back and see,surprised with who stands back.Bagful of memories,ashes,dangling pointers, yesterday's echoes and different versions of Bye at different stops. Its a hallucination period between two endpoints.Foolishly romantic with life inspite of knowing its a mere humbug

My acceptance

I rejected a lot before months from bedsheet colors to pens.Still choosy as of date from friends to attire but with good level of acceptance installed.I accept now whatever comes on my way.I have friends in all ages ,I learnt to start my dwelling in a new place,I accepted visible stitchmarks on my hand.I accepted death and changing colors.I accepted easy sorries and solo travels.I accept the word orphan.I accept my color,castes ,history and  my dogmatism.I accept a lot now but with few if's  and but's.Time to pat on my shoulders for accepting as it is.

beautiful souls

A small help sometimes makes us to wink our eyes.It creates immense respect over the person when its been done at right time.There were couple of incidents yesterday which triggered me to write.My Boss offered a tissue paper for the server who spilled few servings on his shirt,touched by it.
My senior colleague who sensed my medical emergency, drove me all the way to medical shop amidst her schedules. I learn a lot through beautiful experiences. Genuinely beautiful souls.

Its a melody

When people are in the venture Of finding fat cheques,Adding one more name behind names,welcoming newcomers to their world,I wake up in that same rhythm with half turned pages over my hands and happily treating inner kid with books,meaningful travels,challenges,exams,music,healthy diet and red wine.I like speedy thriller movies,but not in my personal life.Great feeling when  u feel gentle breeze in land of hurricanes. When we have nothing to loose,that's a tipping point.content with the place I sleep and food I eat,but I always need a guru in all my ways ,can be as simple as having a photo in my wallet .

zone of discomfort

I update my versions,I follow few protocols which I expect it from any being.I can't give an excuse to me to live unstructured life.
Few stuff which I really expect as ethics from receiver side
1.placing the bookmark in same page while returning any book.
2.abiding mobile ethics(deadly mistake to surf any buddy's mobile even with their permission)
3.providing realistic timelines in whatever the say.
4.integrity in words and actions.
More than above all,in the name of any tag penetrating into personnel space .Its not a rulebook but my zone of discomfort when people break those at least with me

Arima Nambi

Quite after a long time watched Tamil thriller movie "Arima Nambi".Handful of thrillers with ancient tamil name nowadays and now it's arima, "Man with the power of lion".Happily enjoyed anand shankar's stream of consciousness technique through out the movie.Heroine has nothing much to do apart from her native sentiments .Hero vikram Babu has done justice,not less not more with his acting style.Movie is so fast which any thriller demands.
Expected opening scenes where people like me easily bored of but then director tied with lot of twist and turns in upcoming scenes.Found lot of shades from Davinci scenes, National treasure and so on.good try in Tamil cinema with its own if's and but's.
Thanking my friend for suggesting a better movie to forget my sickly day.Its a good watch for any thriller lovers.

formless compassion

It means a lot when we give glass of water  for a person suffering from hiccups.compassion can be defined in any form, for me its formless like air.It can be a simple touch over abandoned dog, mug of water for a starving plant or can be phone call to sooth a sick friend.I love my small cute world where defined traditional relations are hardly found instead filled by admirable souls and jingle bells.

folk flavour

There can be many poems,sonnets and on.when poems merge with background beat(swaras of carnatic,fast beats of folk) it gets it own charming life.I love folk songs of  my native Tamil language which is all time favorite for rich lyrics and its own medhalam(native instruments). Freestyle folk is splendid to dance.I infered few
1.There is no protocol for dance as well as for folk beat.
2.Lyrics are written on the fly where over -thinking is kept aside.
Keeping all the manners I learnt under the carpet,enjoying with my pure village folk songs.
Whistles,kottu,kerchief ,urumi(native prop) makes me to take those dance floor at anytime

who moved my cheese

This time I started up with this tiny book "Who moved my cheese" by Spencer Johnson.In two sittings I am done with it.writer starts with a story using mice and little people as his characters adding lot of strategies to move their cheese.As a whole its about change and adapting to change wherever we go.very simple book to consume it ,if energy level is low.As a whole its a one time read with lot of cheese diagrams and tiny messages for the day.

Mirrored flaws

I feel really bad whenever I break invisible things,though I am so conscious in taking care of  it.This is my first post pointing my flaws.want to really reduce my temper with close folks,don't know why might be I placed few folks just next to me.Sometimes my words do injustice .Bit ashamed when I be an armchair advisor few times.
