The Tree

Once upon a time there was a kid having the good company of a Mango tree, every day he hugs and enjoyed playing around, climb on its trunk, sleep under its shadow, and eat ripe mangoes, more he played around; more the happier the tree, he enjoyed and loved the company of the tree.

Time passed on…

He become a boy, one fine morning walking across the tree, the tree tenderly called him come and sit with me, he riposted I am no longer a kid to play around you, I need money I want to buy many things. The tree replied sorry I do not have money to offer you but I have mangoes which you can pluck, sell, have the money you want, the boy was really excited he grabbed all the ripe mangoes and left happily, the tree also very happy.

He had not shown up for some time, Time passed on…

He become a man, one fine morning he returned to his home town; by seeing him the tree was really excited, lovingly called him come near me, he replied I do not have time, I have to take care of my wife and children, I need money. I want to own a house, can you help me out? The tree replied sorry I do not have house to offer you but you can chop off my branches to build your house. The man cut all the branches and left happily. The tree was very glad to see him after a long time.

Time passed on…

One hot summer the man returned, the tree was delighted and shrieked happily, and yelled come on, sit with me, the man replied I am getting old, I want to sail in a boat for relaxation can you help me, “use my trunk to build your boat, sail around the world, be happy”, said the tree. So the man cut the tree trunk to construct a boat, sailed around, not returned for a long time. The tree was happy but it must not be the truth.

Time passed on…

He returned after many years, the tree earnestly welcomed him back and sadly informed “Sorry my boy I do not have anything for you to offer any more, no more mangoes for you, no more truck for you to climb up,”. “No problem I do not have the energy to suckle, too old to climb also”, the man replied. With tears the tree asked the man to take its dying roots, “I do not need much now, just a place to sit, I want to lean on you, I want to speak my heart” the man replied. “Come, sit down”, the tree was glad and smiled with tears.
Note: I have seen a Mail apple story, I am a tamil, Mango Jack fruit and Banana are the king of fruits, so here is a Mango story.

வாரணம் ஆயிரம்

A Déjà vu, initially difficult to accept it as a good movie, ugliest looking simran, fit Surya(father surya), a new fresh looking(Bengali failure) heroine, wide hip bone second heroine(Kuthu Ramya) , no logic in story still ..... still good fantasy, like to associate ourself with protagonist.

Good Music, Videography, Acting, Dope scenes, Anjalai song, and nicest lyrics are my favorite next to colourful portrayal of first love and US Campus scenes. May be I would like to watch one more time If it continues running in Mumbai for one more week.

Ananth Eswar

Ananth, Salem Ananth, easy to notice his presence where ever he is, if u not still he will, that s the way it happened my first time meeting with him in my first day at SRM, asked about my admission to Crescent and Maya, a preppy look damsel, who also took part in admission process (written test and GD) later not joined, Ananth too attended on same still I am pondering how I missed his presence. When ever I am in some critical task, now It’s happening in daily routines too, accustomed to forgetting the surrounding world easily forgetting the road traveled, people around, music heard, movies seen, posters landmarks everything, contrary to my way the stark contrast I noticed about Ananth is his memory and inquisitive mind, eye on small matters like movie background dancers, flying dress and underwear colour of a foreigner in mount road while riding fast in a bike for a movie to childhood friends even what happened fifteen years back in school to yesterday evening a new face (read girl) walked on the colony park thirty past nine in pink tops with black jean, hmmm memory matters but not to this extend. About sirs academic excellence, kind of Mr. Cool the moment exam arrives sir will feel totally uncomfortable because of the antics and dramas of other inmates particularly Malai and Mani, due to this artistic skill for small things if I write a exam for twenty pages sir will do sixty five, note-that days exams were introspected by us by the number of pages written.

Sir and his mobiles were inseparable; kind of Karna’s Kavasa Kundalam God only knows who is on the other end, as long as mobiles were ringing or beeping it is the indication that Ananth is around, later I realised why people are keep on calling him, matter is simple, Sir is a great story teller (for everybody) and a family counselor (only for woman) result every body want to have his tidbits for the day or pour there trivial scuts. The busiest friend among many I had, I have.

The same Ananth is now here in Mumbai jobless, I am not talking about money earning Work; that is plenty, jobless means ….. Close friends know very well.

கடமையை செய் பலனை எதிர் பார்

"கடமையை செய் பலனை எதிர் பார்", தலைவரின் புதிய மந்திரம், ரஜனி's interview- trying time to fight with laughter challenge program, answers some how better than kuselan interview, audience myself and ananth evening sun TV program. Nice to watch sweaty kanth saheb answering fans questions with nervousness and his trademark dry humour, fan's are losing there hair over rajini confusious's confusions. end of the show I asked ananth what he is trying to say 'hmmm he want to become a politician' and 'reading all the books related to political science' vow my view is he may be waiting for Babaji's views in his dream or some mallu astrologers prophecies. Finally he made his fans happy by informing he will give dharshan and interact openly yearly once!!!. Thalaiva politics requires visiting jail, losing marriage halls, joining hand with common man, speaking with clarity, travelling all over tamilnadu not Himalaya finally spending money for thirsty hungry party man unlike ரசிகர் மன்றம் where fans will take care every thing from donating blood to spending money on posters and cut outs.

Better try acting in more and more commercial movies atleast fans wishes will be fulfilled, your coffer too will be full.

Blood Diamond

English films are usually action and thrillers, which is difficult to watch even for few minutes - experience based on childhood day roadside morning show movie posters and TV movies of Bruce lee and Jackie chan. This perception still continues bcos of the kind of prime time movies telecasted by HBO and STAR MOVIES.

Sometimes we are destined to get different kind of experience which may blown up our idiotic perceptions, at the age of 18 first time I realized while watching Titanic that they too can make movies with emotion- not sexual and relationship based stories, after that again I drifted back to my shell, many of the flight movies also not opposed to any my perception, ‘The water horse’ is the last flight time movie I watched as there was no any other option (consider dud Hindi movies and cartoon shows are the other option).

A few days back I happened to stare at a ‘Blood diamond’ in HBO then continued watching, Protagonist Hounsou-Best acting with perfect body language of a slave, and a faithful dad, husband, De caprio with his Huh, huh hard breathe slang, little bit funnier and street smart character portrayal, a good looking Jennifer, many rape and F words censored by film board, making it a tad difficult to understand the conversations, still the movie is a gem, one of the best emotional family drama movie I have seen. “Dia, You are from the proud Mende tribe, ..” the dialogue from father to his young son with Gun in hand targeting Decaprio and Hounsou one of the best screen moments.

Rarely a movie makes you think, ‘civil war, rebel forces, diamond mines, journos, lots of emotions, family values, innocent people, blood, cruel punishments’, this is one is of that rare kind.

Dasavadharam

One more frustration from Kamal.
I think Kamal reads lot of Indira Sowndarrajan Tamil novels, the twist and turns become unbelivable comedy(Tragety), poor graphics, worst music. Where is KS Ravikumar?
Kamal occupied every corner of the screen that is the big drawback, people want good entertainment for the money and time, not his make up expeiments at our Paisa.

Earlier Dhanu now Poor chap Oscar Ravichandran.

Alert:If the movie latter dubbed in Hindi and at all released It will become big flop of the year. Here People are accustomed to enjoy the movies like Munna bhai series, Rang de basanti and Dhoom series.

We the people

India might be the super power in another two decades, wow wonderful!!!, we will be having the world largest population of young educated people who can work and earn maximum and economy will become world second largest, that too fine.

Everything fine for me from the above lines except some dubious distinction which we are going to achieve parrallely like world largest womanizers, rapists, child molesters, country of smarts (cheaters) due to our value system and what we are preaching to the young minds today, like don’t drink, don’t smoke but who will teach about the importance of Individual discipline-The trait of being well behaved while in a group and as a individual alone and while with strangers.

The painful result of our past preaching is the largest number of cloaked smokers, drinkers who are more in our country than any other part of the world and raising population of woman molesters and rapists.

Few days back I was chatting with a college going young man about summer vacation and about visiting Goa, the discussion drifted to Scarlette murder and rape, he equated her with a sex bomb (media effect)? And further added that what she got is the punishment for her dope and drinking habits. I questioned about the rapist and foul play played by administers, he simply replied ,”why she was going to wrong places in the wrong time” and further added Its India not UK then one more addition ‘her mother married five times have more than seven children’.

The way we are giving respect to a woman because of our so called value system is either they can’t walk alone after sun set or they can’t travel alone for a small distances. A woman who is living alone and trying to stand on her own is still considered largely as a easy catch and seen with we can try once attitude, Now my question who is wrong Scarlett for her drinking and doping interest or the rapist who raped and murdered her on a opportunistic moment, what is wrong dope (the bad habit) or rape (the bad behavior) which one is bigger crime, a habit which may affect a individual or a manners which may affect others.

The media (the latest moral police) too have to feel shameful for their portrayal of scarlette and her mother Fiona as glamour doll and villains/ enemies to our land value system and further strengthening the age old moral and no discipline value system for the dubious distinctions which are awaiting for us in near future.

God please save us.
