How?? Recently my parents suggested I watch this series "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZIHlZ_DSLs" target="_blank">Kalangalil avan vasanthan</a>". I must've listened to those songs mentioned there a thousand times over in my younger days. B/W, TMS, old songs were a turn off in those days! Those same songs made a different effect this time and I'm digging for more now! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In the good old DD only days, I used to be glued to the TV even watching 'vayalum vazhvum' but not the news. I couldn't even stand the few minutes of 'seidhi surrukkam'! That was then! Now I'm bugging the kids turning to NPR on the car, checking bbc news, twitter news, google news... eppdi irundha naan! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Karma is real, beleive me! I am begging my teen to watch my favorite Kamal movies with me and she acts the way I did to my mom's Sivaji movies! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Age is catching up at the tastebuds level too. After years of abusing the system with sugars, <i>norukku</i> <i>theenis</i> & stuff, the lowly upma seems heavenly now!</span>Me toohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07850925207266058211noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031750.post-78888961364021758462017-12-24T19:14:00.001-05:002017-12-24T19:14:48.729-05:00To laugh or cry<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To laugh or cry - has been the theme of 2017. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The political scenes in US & TN are competing each other with unimaginable twists everyday. After the initial blood boiling feeling, the memes and talk shows bring the much needed covfefe relief only to relive the whole experience all over again the next day! 😢😊</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After more than a decade of being one among the many bloggers, <a href="http://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2017-silence-breakers/" target="_blank">metoo</a> is Time person of the year! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">😢😊</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Annathey testing the political waters and that too through Twitter?? His <i>narambu pudaikkum </i>tweets shows his genuine concerns but probably his '<i>manidhar unarthukolla idhu manidhar </i>tweets <i>alla... alla... alla... adhaiyum thaandi punidhamana </i>tweets needs <i>ko pa se(s) </i>like metoo to decode!😜</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Second millennium is inching closer to be a major(oh..., I missed posting the millennium singing "I'm 16 going on 17" last year)! Enjoy the silly teen(y) years! </span>Me toohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07850925207266058211noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031750.post-6956971419416219472017-02-16T16:31:00.001-05:002017-02-16T16:35:09.477-05:00Kanden Seethaiyai!!! I am a big fan of old S V Sekhar comedy dramas. Such a huge fan that I use many of his drama dialogues in everyday conversation. Comedy relief is especially the need of the hour!! Listen to his "Aayiram udai vaangiya aboorva sigamani" to find that the current political situation in TN is not all that different!<br />
<br />
Listening to SVS drama <b>cassettes </b>on <b>tape recorder </b>was an entertaining passtime in the early 90s. It all started off with "Ellarum Vaanga". Logic less mindless laugh riot! "Periya Thambi", "Kadhule Poo", "Oru sondha veedu vaadagai veedagirathu", "Mahabharathil Mangatha" are my favourites. I think I can confidently say I've listened to all of his dramas now. I'm not sure of the chronological order but dramas with SVS & Sunda combination are the most enjoyable.<br />
<br />
Now with youtube genie, I've also found video of some of his dramas. Looks like these are recently recorded ones. While trying to match those familiar voices with faces, I couldn't find the lead female character of the old dramas. The lady who lent her beautiful & awesome voice to characters Narasamma alias Seetha in "Ellarum Vaanga", Viji in "Kaatule Mazhai", Champa Devi in "Mahabharathathil Mangatha" was nowhere to be found!<br />
<br />
After exhausting all full length dramas, I started on his TV serials. While listening to one of the episode called "Priyamulla Philomina" in "Nam Kudumban", I heard that lady voice again as "Philomina"! After finding the video of the episode, kanden Seethaiyai!!! I felt so overjoyed as if I found a long lost friend!<br />

Any one knows the name of this actress??Me toohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07850925207266058211noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031750.post-91448694831065914712016-04-02T16:23:00.000-04:002016-04-02T16:28:53.722-04:00Out of hibernationI have been wondering how blogging went down my priority list. It is not like I don't have anything to 'polambi'fy about or reminiscence or share! Then, why? I guess, I have to blame it all on Steve Jobs! If not for his smart(y pants)phone introduction, I would've lived happily ever after with my lap/desktops! Now since everything can be done at the fingertips, nothing gets done! I turn on the phone remembering something important to do and then go awry clicking all the notifications and alerts and waste precious time and forget all about that important task(especially the replying to teacher's emails!)!<br />
<br />
Don't know why I am still scared of the quicksand social networking sites when all around everywhere everyone is happily splashing in them! This same comment hungry blogger who blogged week after week, month after month to get reactions & comments from unknown blogger friends is wary to post anything on fb, twitter knowing comments could pour. When orkut shut down, I thought fb, twitter and the like would follow suit but inspite of the cropping up of new, new social networking sites like instagram, tumblr, davara etc., the front runners are showing no signs of slowing down!<br />
<br />
Talking of front runners, interesting election circus going on now and this time around, with a super funny analysis from the "Daily show with Trevor Noah" team. I was not fortunate enough to know about the daily show when Jon Stewart was around and I love Trevor's show with his outsider point of view. The whole TDS team is so hilarious especially <i>nammooru</i> <i>paiyan</i>, Hasan Minhaj! Please don't take too many breaks guys!<br />

A decade back, I would've saved this for an Aug 15th post but now I have to post it when I have the link, when I have the time and when I remember!! ;-)Me toohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07850925207266058211noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031750.post-49195856503114799442015-05-29T13:56:00.002-04:002015-05-29T13:56:36.722-04:00Old school girl!!On a North Indian friend's high recommendation that I would absolutely love "2 States", I decided to overlook & tolerate its hero to watch the movie. But before that, like a <i>periya pista paruppu, </i>decided to read the novel. I have to admit that it was mostly hilarious if the author's digs at Chennai city, Tambrahms are overlooked! Nice quick read and a timepass book but nothing spectacular that I had expected from India's best seller! After reading couple more of his books, realised he is like the junk food that is popular and everybody's favorite these days! That's so clever of him to write his autobiography in installments!<br />
<br />
Next bulb was at the hands of "Tanu weds Manu (again!??)"! Enjoyed Kangana's hangam-ous performance and nice songs and what was the point of the sequel? Oh, just a time pass movie? Oh, ok! Poor, old Madhavan!<br />
<br />
Do you hear the younger generation singing to me,<br />

Recently watched the trailer of Maniratnam's 'OK Kanmani'. Maniratnam trying an <i>indha kalathu</i> "Mauna raagam"? Even Nithya Menon seemed to resemble Revathi, <i>ille</i>? Anyway, that reminded me to watch this Revathi and Prithviraj malayalam movie, "Molly aunty rocks". Revathi Chechi still rocks!Me toohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07850925207266058211noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031750.post-74062509877061965502015-02-27T22:35:00.000-05:002015-02-27T22:35:32.935-05:00Big and small screen Manju Wariar's comeback film in Malayalam touched a chord or 2 in me! Though started off in the same lines as "English Vinglish", the daughter's refusal to reveal the question, the first meeting with the President of India(played by Siddartha Basu!!), the slow but believable recovery with the support of good friend and the much needed highlighting of pesticide and chemical laden produce, all neatly done!! Hats off to the director!!<br />

While still on the movie subject and even though very late, felt amazed, bewildered, confused, dazed, exhilarated, fascinated (and innum pala pala solla neram illadha!) after watching Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar"! For a while, for any outrageous requests my answer was 'worm hole <i>vazhiya poi </i>black hole <i>vazhiya veliya vandha</i>..."! Ada, <i>namma </i>mythological brahma lokam's 1 day equals 1 earth year is sci-fi-ya!!<br />
<br />
What to say about PK? <i>Paarkey</i>, <i>rasikkey </i>and <i>sindhikkey</i>! Had gone to the movie with low expectations(I consider Hirani bollywood's KSR!) but came out thoroughly entertained! Total Dhamake! Drishtikku Anushka!!<br />
<br />
After "Friends" and "Everybody loves Raymond" ended, my live TV watching also ended. After many years revived TV watching with 'The Big bang theory'. Who wouldn't love Sheldon! Right next on my favourites list is an old TV show 'Psych'. The best part is this is one show that I can watch with A1!Me toohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07850925207266058211noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031750.post-42141037919284757392015-01-02T08:00:00.000-05:002015-01-02T08:50:14.672-05:00FM - KB TributeKB-MSV<br />

Nowadays I introduce myself as from the land of the Chennai super kings(Dhoni <a href="https://twitter.com/msdhoni/status/526585433581297665" target="_blank">tweeting</a> in Tamil!!) to non-Tamils and some Pakis even surprised me that they knew Chennai because of Chennai Express!!<br />
<br />
Spent the summer vacation visiting a lot of places in India this time experiencing almost all kinds of weather - sweltering heat, monsoon, cool and chilly. Traffic, crowd and an upcoming metro rail is the common factor in all cities. The highlight of the trip was celebrating anniversary, birthday, rakhi and friendship day with kith and kin!<br />
<br />
More malls and multi storied chains stores in Chennai now but our traditional trip to Landmark book store was a big flop. First got disappointed to find the Nungambakkam branch closed and the branches in Spencer plaza and City central malls had hardly any collection. Surprisingly the Kotturpuram library has been well maintained facility-wise though next time I should consider volunteering at the children's department to organize the books.<br />

God's own counrty's newest attraction Lulu mall is so fantastic that A2 commented "I don't know if I am in India or US, Amma!"

And as always tried to eat as much good food as I could to sustain until the next trip. Cream center in Chennai got our vote as it satisfied both the kids and grown ups. Lakshmi Shankar Mess in Coimbatore with its local and organic food scored big. Didn't have enough energy or enthu' or room to try out all that at Eat street in Bangalore, After all that extravagant food, back home, the cereal boxes mocked at me, 'hehe... welcome back!" :-(Me toohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07850925207266058211noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031750.post-84349484268573657142014-10-09T11:47:00.000-04:002014-10-09T11:48:09.532-04:00Super, super, super!!<br />

Don't know if it was too much expectation on my part or my tastes don't sync with mainstream now! Sad!<br />
<br />
After seeing the book "A history of the world in 10 and 1/2 chapters" in the must read list at a local book store, gave that a shot and ended up sea sick!<br />
<br />
After all that <i>sogam</i>, I don't know how I landed with the "Light between the ocean". I mean, it is an excellent book but I am not ready for this kind of sadness now! I was vaguely reminded of an old Banumathi Tamil film called "Annai" but the setting, an island in Western Australia in the early 20th century was new and unique. The two main characters, Tom and Isabella were such an adorable couple! Just couldn't digest the ending. The author could've atleast let her see her once before her, you know! Pch!<br />
<br />
To get out all that depression, I aggressively turned to humor of the highest order. With high ratings on all websites and the authors belonging to blog world(<i>orey </i>the kinship only!), started "Let's pretend this never happened" and "Hyperbole and a half". The first chapters seemed ligthly funny. And I get so angry with Athaan when he reads a few pages and gives his verdict when I endure the whole thing hoping (& failing) to disprove him!<br />

<div>
<i>Orey </i>the outrage(grown-ups more than kids!) over the decision to ban candy this valentine's day at a school in Connecticut! With left over candies from Halloween still lying around and the prospect of more sweet stuff coming home during Easter looming threateningly, this would be a welcome relief if everyone followed suit. And who cares for warnings like this - <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26014693" style="font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 34px;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;">Cancer 'tidal wave' on horizon, warns WHO</span></a></div>

Tirupathi trip, child birth and disney world during Christmas have a lot in common. Humongous pre and post planning, wait in queue/labour and the 3 seconds bliss moment - getting Venkatachalapathy darshan, looking and holding your baby for the first time and seeing the lighted Magic kingdom castle with your kids' faces all lit up respectively!<br />
<br />
People who are guilty about not having done enough workout during the year should make a trip to Orlando, FL. The whole year's worth of workout can be done in a few days! Even my toe nails were aching after a couple of days of theme park walking! How much ever I try and avoid not to get sucked in to the Disney mania, <i>summa solla koodathu</i>, the ticket is worth just for Mission space and Soaring in Epcot! Like the Princess in Arabian tales Thousand and one nights, we leave some theme parks every trip to explore for next time thereby not closing the account with Disney.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Black friday craze is getting crazier by each passing year. Last year it was slightly promoted to late Thursday and this year the online version started from the start of the Thanksgiving week! Each and every year one or two items will go in my temptation list but by the time I consider and reconsider the item/time everything will pass!<br />
<br />
Appappa! Even Sachin wouldn't have imagined this kind of a mega retirement party! Or else he would've decided to retire sooner! ;) Even after the official announcement when the last few matches were referred as his last match in Eden gardens, last match in Wankede I thought he would go around the world playing last Oval test, last Lords test etc. Wonder how his family is going to entertain him now?<br />
<br />
Before I got the chance to recommend/suggest books to A1, she has already understood my taste in books and suggests good reads for me from her list! Though it surprised me a little I realised that I neither had access to as many books as her nor were they as many age appropriate books when I was her age. "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Out-My-Mind-Sharon-Draper/dp/1416971718" target="_blank">Out of my mind</a>" by Sharon Draper was one of them and it was moving story of a 10 year old girl with cerebral palsy. Powerful writing, real characters you can identify with woven in an emotional story! For a lighter read, I enjoyed "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Eight-Keys-Suzanne-LaFleur/dp/0375872132/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386558122&sr=1-1&keywords=eight+keys" target="_blank">Eight keys</a>" by Suzanne Lafleur,<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEfGuFnDBSQ" target="_blank">Yaar Bharathi</a> - A recent gem I found in youtube mine and on time for the birth anniversary of Bharathiyaar!<br />
Like TTM mentioned in his last comment, youtube has become a video akshayapaatiram! S V Sekhar dramas are going in repeat mode. Haven't found that many Crazy Mohan dramas in there. Another latest favorite is Tamil 70s hits! Most not <i>park-</i>able but honey to the ears! This week I am watching Suhasini's Penn serial!<br />
