For the uninitiated, this is the title of a Tamil movie made by noteddirector Sridhar. A gentle comedy involving two pairs of young lovers.I had the pleasure of watching this movie last weekend, and it left a very pleasant feeling in my mind. Doyen actor Balaiah plays the rich,mercenary father of two girls Kanchana and Nirmala. His son Nagesh is keen on getting his Dad to finance his obsession to make a movie with hisquestionable directorial skills. Muthuraman and Ravichandran are two young menwho are in love with the two girls.
Muthuraman is a rich young man, while Ravichandran is impecunious. The story is about how Balaiah's son and daughters get married to the partners of their choice.
Recently I had been reading some of P.G.Wodehouse's novels. Why can't I help thinking that this movie might have been based on one of his novels ?

Blogging is fun!
Blogging is a wonderful thing to do - a great vent for feelings, a great pastime that costs nothing and is totally harmless. There was a time when I thought blogging was done by loafers whohave nothing better to do. And therefore I had a really poor view of blogs and their creators.
But now my views have taken a U-turn. Blogging is an amazing anti-stress thing. Probably one of the best things to do when you are alone. Infinitely better than sitting in front of the idiot box.Develops your language. Relaxes you. Refreshes you. The sheer bliss of expressing whatever you wantwithout caring two hoots to what others think about you. I think everyone needs an outlet for theirthoughts. Some people get sloshed and blabber their hearts out. Some people rant and rave.Great poets express their sublime feelings through immortal poems. Modern poets write out their feelings in prose without regard for punctuation and grammar, and call it poetry. Great painters create masterpieces of art. Modern artists slash at their canvasses with brushes and then crumplethem up. Then they un-crumple the canvas, spit and stamp on it for good measure, and call it modernart. Their unquestioning aficionados go ga-ga over the modern art, and buy their works for millions.Bottom line is, everyone needs to unbottle their feelings.

Trav-e/ai-ls of a restless young man
It is barely September, and yet this year I have been in five countries - India, USA, Taiwan, Singapore and Macau.Endless hours of packing, unpacking, repacking, going over checklists to make sure everything is packed, calling hotels in advance to make sure they have the amenities I need, endlesstrips to and from airports! My passport reads like an atlas. I have been through http://www.lonelyplanet.com/a gazillion times, making a mental note of places I want to see in the countries I travel to, and checking them out with uncompromising efficiency and meticulous planning.
On one hand it pains..all the burden of travel. On the other, who would get an opportunityfor free travel at this age - undisputedly the best time of life for travel. And yet, why doI feel like a rolling stone ? Unable to buy the things I like much and can afford easily because I can't carry them around with me.
Travel is fun, travel is a friggin' pain. Like everything in life, it has its pros and cons. What a cliche! Why am I rambling!What the heck, this is my blog. Ah, this leads me to the topic of my next blog.
