Enthiran

This was the first time I knew so many south Indians live in this part of the world. There were only 2 shows. I have no clue how G picked up from his friend that it was happening in a downtown theatre. I don't know if I should call him a die-hard fan, but he enjoys all Rajni movies. He made me watch Sivaji as well. This one...well, let's see I survived because of Harry Potter. I was almost at the end of the last book & used G's iPhone light to read the book in the theatre. I would've been stoned to death if I was doing this in Chennai. That's for sure.
The first half was over before I knew it. I enjoyed the comedy a lot. Rajni makes a good comedian. His innocence comes out. Specially the first Mariyatha electro-magnetic mode. It was sooooo funny.
But I just hated so many things.
-Ash was used as a doll. Well, when was the last time she wasn't? Not sure, honestly.
-The songs did not stick to my mind or heart or brain. I hadn't heard it even once before watching the movie. And I don't plan on listening to it again. So, it is ot going to grow on me...as they say for any Rahman song.
-Truly, I do not know the purpose of this movie. Hollywood movies are released in Chennai. Some of them are good & loads of folks go watch it. Why create another cheap T3? It so remminded me of Rise of the Machines.
-Having said that, our strong point is story & emotion(loads of movies to prove). But I do not expect such a movie from Shankar. So.
-When Sujatha's "En iniya Enthira" came out on TV, I think it created a craze. I remember watching it too. And I think I liked it. But not a full fledge rajni-like Robot.
There was some paper throwing, lots of whistling & yelling from some guys that G called as "bachelors". I don't know who they are, but they sure gave us a feel of Chennai.
I am biased. I have paranoia watching hit movies. And I am horrible with science.
I did not expect the movie to touch my heart, so I am not disappointed. I left the movie, or rather the movie left me at the theatre itself. Which is good.
I know I have quite a few companions here, but I have antagonized a huge majority. But really, just because it is rajni & just because it is screened for 2 shows, parents, you really did not have to bring kids in strollers into the theatre. I am sure you did not expect a lullaby inside.
It felt horrible to see all the toddlers/kids so sleepy having missed their afternoon nap.

  1. Hey! Same pinch. I too loved the metal maari-aatha scene. The single brilliant one that stood out in the ruckus.

    Paranoia watching hit movies! haha.

    This bringing kids to theaters has to be stopped... cruel parents

  2. quiet a similar feeling for me as well meera... but rajini did try to provide some entertainment... yes disappointment from rehman very much ...
    i too feel ash is too much of beauty to be used as anything else other than a doll .. she shld have just settled with modelling rather than acting which i think she cannot ever do !!!!

    anyway ... the kids bit true ,.. i usually dont like parents bringing kids specially for late night shows anyway ... may be they are helpless and need some entertainment as well !!!

Isha Yoga

Though I knew it, one of our family brought it to light that it has been a long time I posted here. I'd love to say that the last few weeks were pretty hectic & I just couldn't find time to write something here. Not so! The last few weeks have been totally different. I've had the time to do so many things that were in my "to do" list for a long time. Thanks to better management of time & sleep. The secret: a seven day yoga program. A very close friend forced me to join this course. I was hesitant & skeptical. I was not sure I was up for the 30 min twice a day commitment(40 days). I have a toddler & I really toggle between her & other work at home already. Plus what big change would come? But somehow, I registered for this class. Since I read somewhere that they give discount for married couples, I brought G in too(though the main reason would be to make sure I get through the 40 days). From the day I registered till the 1st day at class, this...

The Bishnois

They have been living in India for 500 years and there are 10 lakhs of them and I hear about them only today! I came across a neat article and would spare writing another of my own. Here it is. A hardy bunch of softies...precious. In it goes in my Bucket List!

Where the tigers dwell

Exploring India's premier national park in Uttarakhand was a long-held dream realized. Jim Corbett National Park not only acquainted me with its resident tigers but also offered insights into the life of Jim Corbett himself. His literary works sparked my curiosity and offered company during breaks between safaris. Numerous moments left me in awe: The gentle descent of golden leaves from the towering Sal trees. The profound silence enveloping the forest. To interpret the language of the forest. The majestic presence of the Ramganga river. Witnessing two fish owls unsuccessfully pursue a yellow-throated martin. Hearing the measured tread of a tiger through the dry leaves and finally seeing it in its habitat(more than once). Perusing Jim Corbett's books within the park. Recognizing the profound significance of such sanctuaries, benefiting both wildlife and personal introspection. At times, the safaris seemed like a quest, a fervent pursuit to sight tigers. The outings typically co...
