Sunday - After lunch movie..

"One of the symptom of your problem is sudden-suicide-feeling"...Dhanush tells to Vivek who is sipping his drink,drops the glass out of shock, vivek "Suicide ?!?!?! Am already married man. Why will I suicide again.."

After quite a while I enjoyed,thoroughly, a Sunday after lunch movie (DVD) with so much of stomach pain due to laugh. Movie is "uthama puthiran". I wanted to watch the movie only for the angel in the movie - Jenelia. Interestingly the movie is a good laugh. A typical Telugu movie backdrop, and logic-less stories - but no worries..the movie is full of comedy. Especially the second half is completely ruled by vivek. Most of the time with his witty dialogues and rest with his innocent and being unaware of what-comes-next look. Give a try a good entertainer. And needless to say Jenelia...very cute in this movie too.

I feel quality of south movies has increased a bit. Especially, lot less violence, good subjects and at times some good remakes too. Yesterday I saw this movie chikku-bukku, Arya and Shreya starrer. Its a quite interesting movie to watch. Its again a Period movie (am I right is saying this?) with parallel narration of two love stories - one happening now and the other in yester-generation (80s). Yes, for people who thinking this is a remake of "love-aajkal", you are not right completely. The original theme of the movie was from Koren - "The Classic". I have seen this movie and is really a classic. In Chikku-bukku the story was well adapted to south-indian viewers. I think the director was little worried in the climax that audience might miss the best part of the story...hence he is stretching the climax a little more than the normal, both by more shots and dialogues - especially the one that details the finer point in the movie - to the last section of audience who has not got the point. I wish the director would have left that understanding to the viewer - am sure an above average viewer would have got the point. Explaining things so explicit may adverse the taste. Nevertheless its comfort of the director and trust he has on the viewers intelligence. (I think ManiRatnam is the master of it - he never tells things explicitly and leave it to the viewer).

I think the director change the plot slightly by adding a "road-trip" part to the movie. Is this present in love-aajkal. Dont know.




But I liked the lead-role actress(am not referring Shreya) very lovely. With such a beautiful plot, probably music could have been better.

2010 is a luck year for Arya..two movies with nice story (Madarasipattinam, chikkubukku) and a full-blown-comedy in "Boss aka baskaran"



Am still keeping Nandala for tonight. I dont wnat to bogg this movie with any other nonsense.

What drives?

Its almost end of the year 2010..with no significant achievements an year is slipping away...and life changing its calendar.A decade from the Y2k...hard to believe.

December is so boring...dull at work...very dull climate..cold outside..and raining too this year..not so interesting changes happening in office.

thank got it started 2 and half men in starworld..going to watch it..will c u latter.

being proactive..

My friend cum colleague was upset during our regular tea-time in office. We were bit relived that our free-coffee will continue for some more time after our blue-merger. (BTW I was having home-made-vada with T in Sunday brunch...man u got to live with family)

Even though we were doing the same type of job, he (sh) opted to pursue the project management side while I continued to be in the functional side. Don’t know who and when someone will register my story in their blog like this. Ok back to the tea table. Our friend is upset to the core that he don’t want to do the PM, ever and he is in fact ready to go back to what he was doing an year before. It turns out that the problem is not with the role but that his mentor, or lead (not the reporting manager) is the trouble. Being a very career-climber its obvious his lead is finding all the options to criticize on him or make him look small. Well, being part of the game, our friend thought this would change soon and he will have obvious advantages - but his lead made sure our friend is just a unofficial-PA. Sensing this we did our part to rub the salt whenever we could.

For instance if there is an email from customer for which our friend, if responds, his lead will give 10 reasons why he shouldn't have responded so fast without her involvement. Makes sense, may be, next time he waited for his lead to respond, but only to see a feedback indicating he should have responded to the customer immediately as this was an urgent matter. Now Our friend is clearly confused. Should he reply or not. A third shocker came soon, where in a customer, by mistake had copied all relevant but our friend. Sh neither saw the email so / nor replied. This time the comment from the lead was the "you are not proactive enough to make sure that you are in all the emails from customer". There is an old saying when your senior desides to screw you, he will have all the options. So any emails, with or without his involvement will be an opportunity for his lead to ..use-it.
