Identity

More than “Who am I”, I get choked with the question of “What am I”. I get so much confused with this question and searching for an answer. If I know this answer then I would be one of the rishi’s sitting in one eternal place. I am puzzled in finding what I came for and what I am doing is what I am for. Should I be living a life doing 9-5 job, then going back home with briefcase? Making some money, saving for buying a home, ending up in seeing the children grown up and making the way to graveyard.

I see many varieties of people, one who just see his family and forget all his passions. Neither he learns or has some interests to do something new. Only thing that concerns him is his family & be a bread winner. So he comes to job and goes back that’s all he does. What spark is there in it, I don’t find one. But I think one way oh! Is this what life should be and should I also do like this?

When I do some work I think do I mean in doing this? Am I here for it and is this what I am good at? Everyone will get a turning point where one would know what he is meant for. Did I get already this gyan or am I yet to get the opportunity? Where to find the inside and how to really pursue what am good at? But I believe everybody has this type of insider but nobody reveals or expresses. All just live as the reality pinches and stops them from pursuing their aspirations or the search for what they are. Some just live without even making this attempt as they don’t want to and completely avoid it. With this state of confusion going to bed am I meant for sleeping? :-)

[P.S.:- This post might be confusing as I am confused]

Fanna...

Weekends and weekdays are routine and same story runs throughout. Either a break is needed or something new is to occur around. Same people, same stuff, same house, same bath, same habits...gosh...Sometimes you look life in a different angle. This is a boring window I am looking at. With a lazy outlook I was browsing through the Youtube for something interesting. Came across Madurai Muthu’s Comedy series in "Kalaka Povathu Yaru" show. Muthu is a person who can interestingly elucidate pocket jokes. He has a database within him where he has tagged the jokes by personality, situation, characters and so on. So when you assign him with a tag say doctors he would be cracking jokes related to doctors in a lucid manner. Sometimes the flow is spontaneous and you will enjoy it. But what annoyed me is the way Sun TV presents the show; it is so artificial and unnatural that you puke on their creativity. Basically Sun TV doesn't have much of any creativity and only can impose its ideas by repeatedly showcasing in its advertisement. If you look at its shows, papers, magazine anything of such will not have any creativeness or analysis. It can just do a copy paste or buy off the creators from other channels. Kalaka puguthu yaru is actually from Vijay TV and the entire crew was bought from Sun TV. The irritating part of the show is, it cannot set real people to watch the show and like in the movie "Speed" sets a clapping audience clipping. This clipping is repeatedly shown whenever required. Also the crappiest idea I have ever seen is the way the chits are selected for assigning a random performance to the performers. How Muthu always gets jokes to perform and similarly other showers will get same chits for which they have practiced. All these shows, that Sun TV thinks the viewers as fools. With this kind of creative thinking if it goes on then the day to close its channel one by one is very near in the future.

The Sky is Falling

The recorded news of the BCCI meeting on the recent world cup debacle of Indian cricket was flashing in the laptop. Ravi Shastri, Sharad Pawar, Whatmore and to surprise Viv Richards faces were flashing on the screen. I was eyeing on the sketches of the story on the meeting. But was keen on completing the book I was seldom reading for the past two weeks. I was in the edge of the chapters and wanted to complete. It was really tough to read the binded piles of paper after quiet sometime. But the author compels you to do so due to the journey he takes you through.

The novel I was on was "The sky is falling" by "Sidney Sheldon". The story was about a TV journalist solving a murder mystery of an entire family. Dana Evans was the main character around which the story revolves and the story is about the murder of Winthrop family. The story has a good plot, paced move and makes you to read the next chapter after completing one. The language used is not subtle and makes the reader comfortable. The novel has several twists with right mixture of imagination, suspense and fiction. I was really impressed with the relation and logical reason it has for every point referred. It was really a pleasure to read this thriller and it has the advantage of you getting into the mid of the story. It makes as if you are watching all the happenings undoubtfully. That’s the success of the novel.

I dare not comment on Sheldon as his accolades speak about. He can be referred as a Hi tech Rajesh Kumar who is famous in writing Tamil crime pocket novels. What is interesting about Sheldon is the way he approaches each sequence in the novel and he obligates the reader to finish the novel at a stretch. The language he uses is lucid and lively to the situation. "I try to write my books so the reader can't put them down," he explained in a 1982 interview. "I try to construct them so when the reader gets to the end of a chapter, he or she has to read just one more chapter. It's the technique of the old Saturday afternoon serial: leave the guy hanging on the edge of the cliff at the end of the chapter." Yeah! this carves the key for his booming stories. Luckily read his novel from the place where he was born :-)

Meanwhile SPB is really troubling me a lot and causing me to tap my feat always. SPB introduction songs are the most welcomed and suited for a Rajini movie. The good thing about it is it exactly fits Rajini on screen and most appealing when he sings the introduction song which always holds a message to society. The song "Sooriyanum Santhiranum yaar" from the latest hot flick "Shivaji – The Boss" is the one disturbing and the top in my play list. It’s awesome! Balelaka!!

HILLS HAVE EYES II

"Get me some tea ya...Empa Tamil naatula iruthutu tea venumnu kekama empa englishla kekara...Dei nee teanu sonnathe english thaanda vennai...hee hee" listening to this song from Englishkaran drove to Regal cinemas to watch "Hills Have Eyes II" last Friday. Came back after the movie unsounded and thrilled. Knowing about the part I of this movie is a different story. When I used to bring DVDs from a near by library somehow picked up the part I, but never intended to watch. My roommate exhausted his DVDs for the week and took the part I for his night show. Next day came to me and said just watch it dude it’s our preferred type of movie. I was impressed by the movie with its sheer arrogance and bloodshed scenes. After a while when watching some other movie saw the trailer of part II and determined to go for it. My calculations didn't go wrong and as expected part II was even more violent and gore. If you are a person looking for thriller with gore then this is one such movie. When dug deep in wikipedia what was released in 2006 is actually a remake of 1977 movie and there were sequels in 1985 and 1995. The 2006 part I introduction starts with a logical reason as the US conducted nuclear tests in a particular region and the effects caused the people with changes in their genes.

BTW apart from Hills Have Eyes terrifying you, Google made a surprise and I was a victim, People talk more about agloco, The Boss exhibits its songs and stills....Lots of excitement waiting...
