Man-Madhan-Ambu-fied

Disclaimer: This is not a review, just a biased babble of what I liked and what I disliked about the movie.

First on the laikeys :

1. Kamalhassan- how does this guy do it NOBODY knows. Though just for mere seconds, he braught the same unnaipol oruvan's flashback effect through his down-with-cancer friend.
He looked AH-MAZING in white. Not exaggerating, I couldnt take my eyes of the poster. For his age, he still looks stunning undoubtedly. And the number of different things he wants to do and try in every movie of his is worth an applaud. poetic legend he is. period.

2. Funny, one would probably expect the hero/heroine here.. but na-ah. Sangeetha. Apart from the fact that I have immense respect for her dance competition judging skills (thanks to SK for openly lauding it on AIE), her boisterous attitude in this movie has to be given credit. It just blended in so well. Good choice, great performance.

3.Madhavan. Oh what do I say about him. Superb to the power of infinity. On a totally different note, I am soooooooo glad he disagreed to take up the tamil 3 idiots version.

4. Surya jillu appearance

Now for the no-laikeys cum indifference:

5.Surya bringing Diya and Jo up (yes even here -.- )

6. No comments on the heroine. I was/am/will be never a big fan of trisha. Any barbie-doll face would have done the trick. I applaud the idea of going all-manirathnam and making her use her own voice.. Yea yea we admit her tamil isnt bad but frankly, she has a spooky voice. The poem recital says it all.

7. URVASI. I am thoroughly dissapointed. How could ks ravikumar do this???? when we see her on screen our mind goes on auto-switch to chirpy, bubbly, ridiculously funny mode. Oh for the love of god, why do u need urvasi to play a crying wife role???? I mean, for an actress of her caliber and credentials, they ought to have considered her for some other role and put her to better use! *hmmmps or that*

8. Crazy mohan's dialogue was the missing ingredient. It was the ummph factor of most of kamal's comedy hits.

9. I should have followed the advice of a very wise friend and watched it in India. Sitting in a malaysian theater and being the only one laughing hysterically for the "kalla kadhalan=kavi shirt" joke was a bit awkward =/

If I were to recast, I would choose Jayaram and Urvasi to play Mr.and Mrs.Kurup. And the taxi driver as Yugi Sethu! =) Oh but it was nice to see glimpses of the panchathanthiram cast here and there =)

You know maybe it was a good movie but having seen great movies like panchathanthiram and PKS which lifted the expections way up high. So, I give it a "good but not great".

p/s:Madrasapattinam will still top my list in 2010.

Lord Chubby Pruneface

Its not that I am not talented, its just that people around me are fantabulously talented. I was chatting with this friend of mine who was very specific that his name is not mentioned so he shall be called Lord Chubby Pruneface. So our hero is a super romantic ( bf cum bff for his gf ) spun a song out of random word.. added a tune to it in less than 10mins. The lyrics might not be fab but still, 10mins is pretty good a gangaiamaran style =) Here goes..

makathai pinni eduthu koonthal seithayo.. minnaleai koorthu kangal seithayo.. eyarkai alagaiyae unnil kondayo en valkai vannil natchathiramai vanthayo.. pinvarai enrupayo, bimbamai marai vaayo un orae paarvai poothumae, un oorae ponakai poothumae.. un orae sol koodae poothumae.. aanal pena, unnodu vala oru jenmam poothathey devathaiya, unnai paarkatha naanum oru devdasthan pookalai paarthan pidikavilai, vellai purakalaiyum pidikavilai unnai paarthru viden, ipothu en mannathaiyeh ennaal pidika modiyavelai vaarthaikal varavilai unnai kandathum, moochu kaartu sadru sikiyathu unnai paarthathum.. en uyire ennai pirinthathu un orae asaivil apoothu vanthu serumo, athu varai unnedathil ulathu en nelai kavithai ellutha naan kambanum aller, algae unnai padatha bhramanum naan ellai.. pithan endru kooda solla en manam ennedam illaiannal pena, un valikai thunai endru sollae koodiya varam midum kodupaya?

If only someone can tell me how to.

'Twas a good fight

I am seriously considering erecting a statue for Suresh Raina next to the Petronas Twin Towers. 4 wickets in 2 overs! What a match it was.. yes they lost but it was ahmazing and personally I felt it was a deserving win for the Victorian Bushrangers. By far, this probably was the most interesting T20 match i've seen. CSK signed off with a stunning 162 which looked little coz of the expectation they had set in previous matches. And then came the Bushrangers (thanks to Finch and Hussey) roaring them to a good score. Vijay was good but wasted to many overs. I felt Bolliger was not fully in form yest. Actually the whole team's fieling was not as firey as it always is. Muralitharan missing a catch, that definately doesnt happen often. I could keep watching the last four overs time and again. It was such nail-biting moments. 2 overs 12 runs needed for the VBs to win. Hell the 4s and the 2s were so irritating at that point. Then came the saviour angel Suresh Raina (great strategy by MS dhoni).. 1 over and 3 wickets down.. it was like celebration! haha.. almost! but they tied, yes 162 exactly so they had to bring the super over. This is the most brutal and cruel part of a cricket match. 6 balls for each team and they see how much they score. I am sure many fans just like me would have strongly violently openly objected dhoni bringing in ashwin to bowl this over. Their strongest man in Bollinger. Either him or Muttaiah would have been splendid. If he so wanted to take a chance, Raina should have been the pick. But alas, the 3 sixes at the superover takes the Bushrangers high up in the team standings. It ok the lions would roar again in the next match! love u guys :)

Ads thats you wouldnt change the channel for =)

What is the point?

I was up till 2am yesterday searching for journals articles on adiponection. It was still alright till a peek at yahoo india. then i went seriously?? like seriously? You undergo such turmoil through your uni days and there a mba-dropout is apparently going to be the world's richest man by 2014. wth. Yes ofcourse you can pacify yourself by the whole oh-its-not-about-money arguement, but pls give it a break. at the end of the day, yes it is ALL about money. I am begining to sound like y yip. argh.

How to be a Damon Salvatore part 1

1. Make ur siblings feel small, like super tiny and yet still care for them

2. Put urself 1st (very important)

3. Have a nonchalant look (ALWAYS)

4. oh u have to be really really really hot 1st so move this up.

one day match in s'pre =)

As I type, I can barely keep my eyes open but it all seems worth it, every bit of it... yes it is tiring tedious exhausting but putting a smile on a person's face is undoubtedlty the bestest most satisfying thing to do =)

There will always be a few people who'll make me feel absolutely comfortable even when I am swimming under my "stars and moon" pyjamas in a ballroom filled with gentlemen in their best suits and ladies with their poise and elegent dresses *bear hugs*

On my way back, I was watching some random movie on the bus (hail the first coach officials who have added 200 new movies to the catalogue..love u guys like totally ;)) and this song is stuck in my head since. the lyrics the orchestration everything is so soothing and comforting..

Dissection

I feel both cruel and accomplished. I may never eat again.

Asia cup?

I dint know it existed till I saw the featuring news in yahoo india. Anyway hats off to the Indian cricket team! Asia cup winners after a long time. I think the players owed us one after the huge dissapointment they left us with in worldcup '10. May our majestic mahi shine as captain for a longggggg time =)

what malaysia is and what singapore was not..

With all the "I am home, pamper me" syndrome I almost forgot that I had a blog till recently a very sugary sweet friend on mine reminded me of it :)

SO yea.. back in malaysia and totally loving it.. not sure for how long though... but i can see a good long year waiting ahead. We'll think about what comes next when we come to it.

Obvious reasons to love Malaysia more than s'pre :

1. Friendly rapid kl bus uncles who offer to stop the bus right below my condo just so I don't have to walk the stretch of 500m from the bus stop under the scorching hot sun =)

2. My prof, a double PhD holder, who makes yummy chocolate muffins for us 'cause we impressed her with our progress in our experiments =))

3. Flexible application deadlines (this is more for small unis rather than m'sia as whole)

4. Food, yummy finger licking mamak stall food. No words can summarize this luxury in a line. But still, I have to say that s'pre mamaks were just too clean to be mamak stalls.

5. My new friends at the spastic society who drew the most beautiful colourful and touching poster =') (shall upload it soon)

Parapappapaaaaa.. I am loving it. Indeed. more =)

AND THATS HOW ITS DONE! GO CSK!!!!!!

My stomach churned when I saw the disturbing 142/7 on the Chennai super kings vs Deccan Chargers scoreboard lastnight... but man what a match! CSK roars itself to finals against mumbai! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAW we are there! thats a good six matches in a row swept clean! Go CSK GO! lalalallalalallaaaaaaaaaaa.....



AWESOMEEEEEEEEE! all credits to the fielding. They guarded their small 142runs like an angry snake!! Hats off to Bollinger and Suresh raina! I could just watch the fall of wickets again and again and again. Haha at 2am I was whistling away like a mad girl. Surpringly I was reciprocated with another whistle from lord know which block but definately a fan of CSK! YAY!

I know I have watched this video like a million times but I sooooo want to watch it again! =)))))

Alice in the wonderland

Sorry underland. Very much normal, nothing extraordinary. Maybe I just kept my expectations too high seeing Tim Burton's name.

Alice (Mia something her name is... ) what amazing hair she had.. locks of curls! It made her look so gorgeous! But she was portrayed as some super confused personality till the end ( Like Trisha in VTV! =P) the whole china thing is crap if there isn't going to be any sequel to it.

Hatter is the saviour! Johnny Depp was amazing, as always except for his non-human looking eyes. but even with that, he did manage to pull off a very moving scene towards the end.

Anne Hathway, ah my all time favourite! Sadly she was too fake in this. She needn't have tried so much with the "I am floating" look. And seriously with the pale look as white queen, makeup designers really should have opted against the contrasting lips and brows, because it makes her look ridiculous!

overall, its not bad a watch. I give it a 6 for 10.

Asian lecipe

I found a Chinese restaurant, while trekking in Tibet,

the chef was Japanese, and very nice,

he cooked me Thai risotto with Korean vinaigrette,

it tasted like an Asian Paradise.

I begged him for the recipe, he looked at me in vain,

and waved an arm to somewhere East and South,

his semaphore of gestures told the story straight and plain,

this dish was handed down from mouth to mouth.

Although he spoke atrociously, I memorized each word,

then jumped upon a plane and headed west,

the owner of a recipe no western man had heard,

I couldn’t wait to put it to the test.

My kitchen was a work of art, a European brand,

a Swedish stove the best that one could buy,

four hotplates flown from Finland in this cooking wonderland,

with microwave and fryer from Shanghai.

I conjured up the words that he had told me with a grin,

then looked through all my cupboards with no joy,

apparently, I didn’t have the right stuff to begin,

and couldn’t find some Paks or any Choy.

I didn’t have the lice that was the basis of the dish,

no rhyme juice could be found, or cully splout,

I found a can of tuna – but I had no Jerry Fish,

and shitty yucky mushrooms? I was out.

I had no bloody brackbeen sauce, no reeks or rotus reaf,

no remmon glass in bottles, bags or canned,

my kaffir rhyme was out of stock, the toe few brought me grief,

and kneecap maniss wouldn’t raise its hand.

I had no stinking cheery sauce, was out of cully crove,

I didn’t see a laddish anywhere,

my brand-new wok stayed empty, and I didn’t need the stove,

for special Asian food, my cupboard bare.

A two-hour search had yielded me some Chinese soya sauce,

some tuna and one measly coconut,

but all this food talk made me famished – I could eat a horse,

I grabbed the phone and rang the Pizza Hut!

Designer piece! =)

Most exclusive exquisite designer model u could ask for :)

Problem-free... dream on!

I quote my friend, miss whishwhush's fb status

how nice if i can transform to a new born baby again..sleeping peacefully and nothing at all to worry...Hmmmmmm..

wait.. wth who said babies have nothing to worry about? ...
1. I would like some variety in my menu!!
2. which super huge hands is going to come pinch me next!
3. why do these uncles with huge moustache come this close to my cradle and traumatize me!
4. (exclusively baby boys) Heck u think its funny dont ya to watch me toddle around with a pink ballet dress and pink shoes to go with it! now dont blame for if i am confused about my sexual preference in future!


This doesnt only apply to miss whishwhush but everyone indeed. The point is, all of us suffer from problems .. but after a point of time, we just learn to live with them. If we were to lead a prob-free life, trust me its going to be bland and super dull. Imagine u plan something, and everything goes EXACTLY as per the plan! how annoying is that! so spiceless!
So invite dramas with open hands =P

Norman Rockwell tribute..

I didnt know who this guy was till I saw his pic on google's homepage a few days before. And I should say I am quite impressed with his art work. Here are a few. Some of these pictures look extremely familiar ..Maybe because most of it are centered around everyday life genre or maybe I've just looked at it for too long a time. wo pu che tau!
