I was happy when I read Yesterday's TOI,for there was a mention of the famous female actor of South India,Khushboo.It said the charges pressed against her were dismissed....finally!Sex is a taboo in India,speaking about it is forbidden(especially for Women of India) and pre-marital sex is non-existent(yeah,rite!)
Khushboo was accused of corrupting the sanctity(??!!) of women by talking about pre-marital sex and not making a big deal if they are not virgin at the time of marriage.How could this possible corrupt anybody's sanctity.Do men find sanctity between the legs of a Woman? So if she keeps her legs crossed till she get married,could she be labled 'Holy Cross'!!!!
The Tulsi plant is,botanically,named as Ocimum Sanctum.Is it because of the nature of the plant or on the virginity basis....too complex,isn't it? Sex is the integral part of a committed relationship beyond the wedlock's,one of the ways to keep your partner happy,part of life.Then how could it be corruptible???? Forget about the act,in India there are these kind of men who think of it as a crime if a woman talks about it.They want the Indian women to remain innocent about it even if she's married and had kids.Are you nuts or have you lost some???
I'm happy atleast now that the supreme court met the expectations of sensible people.
I'm sure Vatsayana will be happy too ;-)(I'm confused,isn't this guy an Indian?)

It's natural for man-to-man love to exist..!!!!
It was like watching Tata Sky when everybody was watching cable TV!
Last Saturday night,RCB had just secured the third place and we weren't sleepy.It was not an overwhelming match,it's just that we were not sleepy,at the same time we were scared to watch a movie as our previous history of selection of movies was proven to be very disappointing.With great courage,we decided to watch GOA(a Tamil Movie).
There was no one well known in the movie and the story was not built around any dynamic southern hero,actually there was no story !!!!...."again???" you might ask.
That was the key point people,there was only a screen play formed around a set of people.Basically,movie was neither crowded nor loud.It was a fun movie which had no food for thoughts but only laughs!They finally proved that no-story movies could also be made with that effect.
Three friends land in GOA with the sole intention of fooling any white girl into wed locks to get exported.Three guys who are from a remote place in TN are joined by two veteran Tamil Goans and their journey through their women's heart(!?).With so many guys around,it's natural for man-to-man love to exist which forms another love story.
It has a tinge of (hilarious)thriller masala as well.Derivation - "good to watch"
And my friend Sriram,Simbu has made a special appearance with his Manmathan Killer role reference and according to me,this is Simbu's best movie! Those guys like us(Ed and me) out there,it's a must watch weekend movie and I'm sure addition of alcohol will have a reeling feeling !!!!!

Intentionally Intensified !
"And then he took out his gun, aiming at his head.It didn't look like the job of a professional but the intentions were quite strong.He was not sure whether his fingers were rightly on what's known as trigger and neither did he know the kind of stuff it was filled with." The story goes a long way but nobody knew his moves and the only reason I know is I'm related to him and I was right there when he was trying out something like that.
It was one of those hot summer days with sweat dripping across the forehead and when people hate themselves for wearing anything.It was his b'day and he knew there would be a lot of people at home to celebrate.One of those occasions he was expected/told to behave and oblige.He ignored the outfit kept for him at the corner of the bed and peeped from his room through the drapes to get a glimpse of what was coming,more people to tell him what to do and judge him(according to his parents) by what they see.He pulled the drapes and his curious mind remembered what he saw in his parents closet.The thought was more exciting than the party which was about to be taken place.
He checked to confirm there was nobody in or close to the room and opened the closet with the keys he had already found when none was noticing.He found the box and without any delay ripped it open.He knew what would happen for not obeying the orders but his excitement got the better of him and that's how he found the gun finally he was looking for.He ran outside holding it between his fingers without anything on him.....naked! The guests were surprised to see something unexpected like this.He shrieked with joy standing in the middle of them with the gun pointing to his head.It was the first time he was using it and I was quite surprised to see his ability to use it with such a comfort.Just then he pulled the trigger and the water started sprinkling out from the gun ! Yes,it was my 3 year old son trying his water gun bought as a gift and should have opened during the party.Anyway,he was very happy to see what he had got and so were we !

I was Head Over Heels with Kishore...!!!!!
It was raining this afternoon and hence the climate was cool.Most of the time we all prefer to get inside the blankets and stay put until we are tired of lazing or sleeping.But there are those rare moments when you think of the company while experiencing a pleasant weather amidst hot summer days.Rain,Coffee and Music what a great combo,none of the multiplexes can offer a thing close to that.
We generally like the kind of music we grew up listening to.There's a huge difference in the music now and then.Probably my son will cherish today's music but for me,it's always the era of Kishore and Rafi......These days,people are in a hurry to compose music to make it popular and we have singers like Anu Malik and Himesh.I don't know if anybody wants to listen to their music when it's raining.You don't worship your music,it won't feel divine; as divine as Kishore makes me feel with 'Rim jhim gire saawan...',or Rafi with 'Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par...'....it's a pretty big list.
It was the kind of music/voice that touched people's souls,made them fall in love.It was no fault of mine if I were head over heels with Kishore or felt like saying 'Qubool' to Rafi!!!!!They always made sure everbody had their heart in the right place.They have almost covered all the areas of human emotions with their song,so it's like there's a song for each season.I would like to say a lot about Lata and Asha as well but it won't fit the frame in which I adore the male singers! Hehehehe,but that's not an excuse not to talk about them,probably next season!
(It's just a rainy day and a post under the influence of caffeine).

Nanjanagoodu Trip-2
Tried my best not to write the second part as it involved a lot of tragedy. It's basically shaving my year old son's head,so it's very obvious that the event was very traumatic for him. As I was watching him going through that it was tragic for me.Other than that nothing happened but we returned home safely and hence part-2 ends here !!!!

Why the hell people make romantic love-stories....
Have you guys heard of a movie 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaya'(meaning,Shall you come from the stars)...yeah,yeah wish we didn't too.Like they say,when something bites you generally tend to do stuff out of the blue.No,I didn't bite my hubby neither did he bit me,the derivation could be 'bad luck doesn't depend on bites'.
Since all 3 of us were down with bad health we decided to stay home last weekend and wanted to feel better before next week commenced.As a rule we thought of watching a feel-good movie.With reference to the past records(with a few exceptions) we decided on Gautham Menon's movie named Vinnaithandi Varuvaya,value addition was A R Rehman.
It was a pretty inspiring movie.It was so inspiring that I forgot about writing my Nanjanagoodu Trip - 2 and wanted to write about this one.Also it's so motivating that I wanted to kill those who reviewed and rated the movie.I don't remember the last time I watched a very romantic love story (in Indian cinema) since '........',well it turns out don't remember the name either.
A boy meets girl.....a girl meets boy....they meet agian....and again,well it was a long story(!?) their meeting ended when the DVD player switched to stand-by.As far as the 'love' was concerned,we had to look them up from the stars.For a hard-core romantic person,it's a great disappointment.It doesn't feel anything close to watching Amitabh-Rekha,Nasiruddin Shah-Sanjana Kapoor,Kamal-Jyothika,Julia roberts-Richard Gere,Meg-Billy.Then why the hell people make romantic love-stories and Rehman what's wrong with your music??????

Nanjanagoodu Trip - 1
As always happens(atleast with us)our well planned program didn't yield a good output.I had told a hundred people about our Nanjanagoodu-trip and was looking for the best excuse when we woke up that morning we were supposed to have left.
We were supposed to have left by 5:30am as per the plan and we woke up only by 6:30am with great difficulty.Eddie asked me if we were not going and I looked at him trying to say something with half opened eyes but that itself must have given a strong message that he shook me off in order to wake me up (like that would help!). He started in a tone which he might have gotten used to while playing a manager at work counseling his reportee. If not that what else can scare me off.....he knows me too well,hence I got dressed with in 15mins (I remember,one of my manager's,say Paul, used to make us wait for hours together with his post-shift meetings during the wee hours).
I guess we were meant to visit the temple otherwise how else would you explain a series of continuous events that took place in the favor of 3 of us. We hadn't interacted much with a Malayalee family in our neighborhood reason being,they could not follow what I was speaking ( I cannot put on a Malayalee accent even if I make 100 attempts....(sigh)) and I could not differentiate between many of the languages they tried to speak (Malayalam,Tamil,Kannada and English.....should have tried Hindi but it never occurred to me).When we got off the house to go to the nearest bus-stop
(Uh,first stop was at no where less than 2kms) the Malayalee couple were ready to go to work and were getting into their car when the man looked at us and said something we couldn't follow....owing to obligation we both gave a broad smile.I guess he was happy we smiled at his super joke of the morning and offered a lift.Again,obligation...so we took it :-) Once we were inside I could understand whatever they were speaking and was able to respond well. I was happy about my communication and listening skills (after all that was my work ;-)).
Once we got off I told Eddie how proud I was of myself to understand Malayalam though I knew pea nuts about it.He laughed and said the couple were speaking in English.I guess that man was really able to crack a joke.Well,good for him!
Within no time we got into a Volvo to reach bus-station to go to Mysore. Once we reached KSRTC bus-station we went looking for a custom-made bus for Ed (I mean,not the bus but the seats/space in the bus).When we got into one of the Volvos it was already packed with people and we had to take a backseat which kept other passengers wondering that why were taking a backseat when we looked married and already was carrying a kid.No kidding !
Soon after we got off in Mysore a not-so-custom-made but was waiting for us like we had booked it in advance.Nanjanagoodu is a religious place which is 21km from Mysore,so without a second thought we got in and reached the place.
Rest....???? Next !!!!!
P.S : No offense to Malayalees or the language,it is about this one family.
