I have come across few movie reviews where the reviewer says that the movie left him speech less. I wonder does any movie really makes us like that or its just a way to prise the movie. But yesterday even I had the same feeling after watching the movie "Gandhi, My Father". The movie deals with the relationship between our Bapu(M.K.Gandhi) and his son Hirilal Gandhi.
When we look things from Harilal’s perspective whatever he does is correct. But when we look things from the other side, most of the things that he does are wrong. The movie doesn’t justify Harilal’s action or support Bapus reaction/action on Harilal.
Every politician should watch this movie to know what true service to the society means.
I have one general doubt. How come the Nehru dynasty family got the Surname Gandhi.

Sum Of All Fears
Date : 23rd April 2009
Time : 5.50 PM. (40 more minutes for the end of day)
A person whom I have seen only very few times in my office comes to my desks and said "the HR want to talks to you. Meet him at the X floor immediately "
A moment my mind went blank and started to think about all the weired things. Is the worst nightmare become true?. How long can I survive with my current bank balance? What will be my future? How my parents will react? How to face my friends and neighbours?
My hear was beating at very fast pace and I can clearly feel it.
Time 6.00 PM
I'm at the HR's desk. There were few papers on his desk and a spread sheet with employee names was open in his computer. My heart started to beat even very faster.
When I introduced myself to the HR, he said "We don't have the NDA agreement that you have signed when joining the company. Can you please fill the form and sign it immediately".
Gosh...... Thank God.
Once I filled the form and handed it over to him, he asked me "can you ask some of your team members to come down to fill the form". Now I understood, The fool who asked me to meet the HR should also said for what the HR wants me.

Charles Rane Vs Chris Fletcher
Sometimes back, I was watched Wisley Snipes, Passanger 57. Bruce payne (Chrales Rane) played the villain role. When I saw Bruce on the screen, suddenly Chris Fletcher of Dasavatharam came into my mind. In every aspect Charles Rane reminded me Chris Fletcher. I think Kamal should have taken Charles Rane as the model to develop the Fletcher character.

Is Congress a secular party?
Today in several places in Ernakulam (kerala), I can see the poster of CPI Candidate Sindhu Joy with Taslima Nasrin. I'm sure this is work of Congress. I think this is not the right way to canvas the people. What congress is trying is to split the votes. I'm not a CPI supporter, but still I oppose what congress has did.
If AIADMK led alliance started to use such practice in TN, even winning 2 seats in TN will be very difficult for Congress.

What to say.......
Life is getting tooo hard and demanding these days. Even couldn't get time to twitt. Almost spending 10-11 hrs a day in the office.
I'm wondering what will be running inside the brains of project managers/ceo/coo of IT companies these days. Every where people are talking about recession and layoffs. The total workforce of my office is more than 1 lakh and I'm not sure that every one are allocated in some project?. People are forced to move across various cities.And even 2 days before there was a rumour about layoff in my organization. I'm really worried about my future. What happens if the current economic condition worsens. How can we cope such a situations. These questions often come in my mind and spoils my night time.
Last week i saw vennila kabadi kulu . Very interesting movie. If you get some time try this movie.
Last year I got Fuji finepix S5700 Digital camera. The main reason for selecting this camera is 10X optical zoom. I would say the camera is worth for every single paise that I paid. The digtal viewfinder is not so userfriendly/good. I feel its difficult to focus using the digital view finder. Other than that all the other features are excellent.

Naan Kadavul - Aham Brahmasmi
At last I too watched this movie. This not a movie review, but my thoughts that rose after watching this movie.
Normally we people doesn’t like to watch the darker part of the life in the movies. Naan Kadavul deals with such a subject. This movie deals with the life of beggars. Bala did an excellent job in portraying their lives. Dialogue of this movie is penned by Jayamohan. Some of the dialogues are very sharp which can raise several questions inside our mind. Music by Illyaraja, and Lyrics by Vaali. I haven’t heard the songs from this movie before. In theater, even during songs, the visualization is so effective such that I couldn’t remember the lyrics or tune.
No hero in Tamil cinema has got/will get such a wonder full introduction. I never expected such an introduction for Arrya. For Arrya and Pooja this is a Lifetime movie.
Arraya as Rudhran: I can see the amount of hard work that Arraya has put for this character. I feel the voice of Rudhran is not so effective. When he chants the Sanskrit versus or while talking in the court if the voice is not so effective. Pooja has done an excellent job. Her voice, action everything is superb.
In all the Bala’s previous movies, the hero characters are somehow similar. Even in this movie Rudhrans character is similar. He has too much power; he doesn’t bother about the law. These are the common characters of Bala’s hero. Even Rudhran falls in to the same category. The other common thing with the other bala’s movie is climax. In all his previous movies there is no happy ending. Even this movie doesn’t have happy end. When I left the theater, my heart was paining. Only very few movies in the past made to feel like that before.
Tamil cinema has got a new villain. Thandavan. I don’t remember this guys real name. He did an excellent job.
Overall, the movie is good. But the violence is too high.
