Things that crossed my way!

Hi Guys,

I was busy for the last few days and I was not able to observe and follow lot of things, including my favorite F1 race held at India for the first time.

A mixed post in my blog after a very long time.

7am Arivu – My View

I watched the movie 7am arivu today morning. The reviews I heard before were mixed. People who watched it first day said it was very poor (due to the over promotions). But in the following days, the movie started to get good responses and I went with a neutral mind. I found the movie interesting. The movie had quite a huge number of flaws, but it was compensated by a good story line. With 3 songs less and better back ground music, the movie would have been much better. Comparing to the current commercial movies, the movie was better in many ways. I would rate this movie higher than many of this year’s hit commercial movies.

Auto Up gradation in Trains

Whenever I used to book train ticket, there would be an option known as Auto Up gradation. Passengers booking in lower classes will be updated to higher classes if the higher class seats are unoccupied. I often think why this option is there as all the seats are occupied generally. Last Sunday I travelled with my friend from Chennai and when I booked, the status was RAC. When I checked the chart, to my surprise the ticket was updated to First Class from Sleeper. I never expected it and out of nearly 100 confirmations, only 3 were updated. It is interesting when something that we never expect to occur, occurs.

Vigilance Awareness Week (Oct 31 – Nov 6)

On October 30th, we were celebrating the success of Indian Grand Prix and it was a proud moment for us. On the other hand, October 31st marked the beginning of Anti corruption week, a phenomenon in which India has been at the bottom of the table for a very long time. It is probably one of the worst weeks celebrated. Government officials (who are also citizens of this country) must have a social responsibility and it is shame that they have to be remembered by creating awareness for a week. This week is observed for the past 10 years and I see no difference (or rather to say, the corruption has only increased).

That’s it for now.

45 minutes of a movie

Hi Guys,

It was very boring yesterday noon and so I switched on the television and all the programs were equally boring. One channel was telecasting an old Tamil movie (from the color, guess it would have been released by 1985 or so). So, I decided to watch that movie. I started watching by 12 pm and it was over by 12.45 pm. I have seen quite a lot of movies and I can definitely say it was the worst.

I was not able to recognize any of the faces and hence it was definitely a flop movie. There are 4 main characters in the movie, Hero, hero’s wife and another heroine who is hero’s friend and also a cancer patient and last but not the least a doctor who treats the heroine. Let me say the story from the time I saw it.

Hero and hero’s wife decide to go to a movie. When hero’s wife goes to change her dress, our hero sees a newspaper ad about a saint who has the talent of curing cancer. So, he decides to visit the saint and leaves without even informing his wife. He visits the saint, who says that liquid extracted from neem leaves and another powder will cure cancer. So he takes the leaves and returns back home by 3 am. He himself prepares the liquid and goes to the hospital. In between he visits the doctor who also accepts the saint’s medicine and says that he is nothing before the 94 year old saint’s experience.

Hero’s wife is of the opinion that he is in love with the other girl. There is another group who is planning to separate the hero from his wife and until the end they don’t do anything to separate them. Our hero daily travels 3 hours in his bike to pluck neem leaves, as there is only one neem tree. The girl’s cancer seems to get worse and she is all set to die soon.

Finally the doctor says that the symptoms are complicated and the time has come for doing a complex surgery. He does the surgery and takes a piece of red cloth and says that the cloth was left inside while doing the surgery for tumor and that was the one creating all the symptoms for cancer and she doesn’t have cancer.

At this time my frustration was at peak and I thought the movie was over. No, it wasn’t. The girl gets better day by day and sometime later our hero’s wife gives birth to a baby and she goes to visit the baby and there is a song there. After the song our hero’s wife faints. Doctor checks and says she needs to be taken to hospital. At hospital, the doctor opens her hand to find that a very poisonous centipede has bitten her and there is no way to save her. So she dies and leaves her baby to the girl and the movie ends there.

Though, I had lot of questions pondering in my mind, the main one is - இப்பிடி எல்லாம் எப்பிடி படம் எடுத்திங்க!!!
