Woohkay! The first week of college after a one month break is definitely a little tiring.Probably because of the travelling and all. So far, we have had intros of the respective subjects for this sem and a slight peek into the initial chapters. Anyway, college is okay minus the long breaks in between each class. It's very very boring and I miss my foundation mates a lot!!! Seriously!!!! But, of course, I have met some wonderful people and they are really good people to say the least ;).
Oh, and the drop-out rate of my course is certainly terrifying!!! Almost 50% of the students from the previous intake dropped the course after going through the first sem. First SEM!!!!!!!!!
And another thing, got to watch "Arai En 305-il Kadavul" the other day. It was a nice movie. Certainly not one which will be listed under the typical,commercial flicks but it was based on a different theme. Simply put, a story of two useless youngsters whose room mate is THE ALMIGHTY!!! Sounds interesting?? It defintely is!!! Minus the songs, the movie is watchable and enjoyable in parts.
That's all for now. Chao!

I can't believe that my one month holiday is going to be over in another 12 hours!!! Yes, I am gonna start college tomorrow!!! The past two days were filled with a lot of news!!! I can't actually tell what they are exactly.Let's just say that I got some unexpected news about some things that I really really wanted to know. It used to be a very serious thing but I just forgot about it as it didn't really matter because the issue got resolved somehow. But, now I got to know what exactly happened and all and it's a little shocking. But, I guess its alright!
Oh yes....I got my results!!! WOOHOOO....I am happy!!! extremely happy!!!! (referring to the sem results not my overall grade points,sigh!) My fault...Repeated the same mistakes but I m glad I managed well this time! Thanks to THE ALMIGHTY!!! :D
That's all for now! Chao!

I am tired. Not physically. Just that I am tired of sitting at home doing practically nothing but watching TV and surfing the net. Not that it's bad...honestly, I love this but its getting a little too monotonous. I miss my college mates. Its pretty irritating to know that I am the only one from my class who will be in the same campus when I go back next week. All the others are shifting to the other campus!!! ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I will definitely miss all of them!!! It has been only a year I hv known them, but all of them are such nice people. Right from my class-rep, Jun On till the ever-quite John....all of us were something like a big, noisy and playful you know, class...much like how it was like at school...Not to mention Ni2 and Pavi (Fuyoh!!!),Kavitra ka and Yuvhen...we did a lot of things together at college...had loads of fun...will definitely miss all these wonderful people...They were really good friends....They won't be reading this I'm sure...but, just wanna wish all of them all the very best!!!

Dear TD16, thank you for all those good moments...it was fun...even the silly arguments that some us had...the time we spent bbq-ing those chicken wings (of course, there was another story behind it which only the fuyoh people knw of)...the times we spent arguing for marks....and also those funny moments recording the 'unique wedding' for our PS presentation...Thanks for everything...It was a wonderful year!!! Good Luck and All the Best Peeps!!!

200 Pounds Beauty

As I am a movie lover...the language doesn't really matter. Whatever the language may be, as long as the story or the movie is good, I will watch it. Now, this time... I have never heard of this movie before, 200 Pounds Beauty...I was changing the channels...from 212 (Sun Music) to 702 (Hallmark) back to 212 and I accidentaly got to 122 (Kirana). Astro Kirana showcases popular Asian movies I think but I never really bothered checking it out. Now, I am officially an avid fan of Astro Kirana.

200 Pounds Beauty is a Korean Movie starring Kim Ah-Jung and Ju Jin-Mo. As you can see, the title itselfs reveals that it's a story on the struggle of a overweight woman. It was a different story in the sense that the overweight girl, Hanna opts for plastic surgery rather than the usual diet & exercise regime to all beautified. The interesting part is how she gets to undergo the plastic surgery and she practically changes her whole body.She even gets to choose the kind of eyes and nose that she wants! All this fuss to get all pretty and glamourous is to get her crush, Sang Jun love her. Sang Jun, is the manager or something like that and Hanna is in love with him.Sang Jun treats her well but he's not in love with her because you-know-why. So, the rest of the story is about whether Hanna gets to win Sang-Jun's heart or not.
The aspect I loved in this movie is the screenplay after Hanna becomes Jenny ( the slim and pretty Hanna). Jenny practically suffers hiding her past and it shows how desperate she wants to bury her past as the overweight Hanna. They also have some funny elements on plastic surgery and the mentality of men who don't mind women getting plastic surgery to make them prettier but just not their girl friend. Overall, the movie was enjoyable and pretty much showcased the hardship an overweight girl goes through. And right after that, I watched Oprah talking about drastic measures taken by parents to help their overweight child...what a coincidence!!!! Can anyone believe that a 12 year-old got a gastric by-pass to lose weight!!!???? I just think that it's not the right way to solve a problem...
Anyway, chao!

Why???!!!

I just don't get it. Seriously. Sometimes, I just feel like the world has just turned into something that doesn't recognise genuineness, honest needs and fairness. I am confused right now. I would probably delete this post in a couple of days time but I am still gonna continue typing. Afterall, everyone deserves to rant at times,right! I feel that some of our needs are being destroyed or are being taken away for various unacceptable reasons. And to get back those "needs", we are expected to do certain things which are not supposed to be asked from us. It irritates me, angers me to come face to face to the fact that life is, most of the time, unfair. There's a reason behind everything. It could be true, but what's the point if you know that the reason is not at all logical??? I mean, why can't the world just give people what they need. I am not saying that everyone should get what they want just like that. But, what about people who have worked hard, what about people who deserve some things but are denied of it for reasons unknown to them.Reasons unknown here means reasons that should not be questioned. Isn't that inhuman.
Pardon me for posting such a crappy thing, you might not see this post tommorrow actually.

Current favs...

I am talking about music,songs..
First of all, I love MUSIC. love listening to SONGS.
I listen to Tamil,English and Hindi songs but right now, am kinda outdated in the English and Hindi music industry. For tamil, I am a die-hard fan of tamil cinema songs. love AR Rahman, Harris Jeyaraj, Yuvan and the latest GV Prakash.
Anyway, I just felt like listing my current favourites...they are not in any particular order though.

*Pallanadhu Pallanadhu from Kuruvi.
Vidyasagar has churned out just the right song one needs to listen to, to get some energy...lift up their backs and start dancing. seriously. Oh, fyi... he sang the song too!

*Adada Adadaa from Santhosh Subramaniam.
OMG...this song is just amazing. It's peppy and really, really nice. Siddarth (from the movie, Boys) is the singer, and really...he has a really cute voice! BTW, the video of the song is cute too.

*Venmegham Ponnagi from Yaaradi Nee Mohini.
Not sure who sang this one but its really haunting. It's kind of a sad song but worth every bit of it. love it.

*Saghiyae from Dhaam Dhoom.
Okay, this one is by my favourite singer, Bombay Jeyashree and Krish. If I am not mistaken, Krish is the one who sang the big-time hit, "June Ponal" from Unnalae Unnalae. On Jeyashree, her voice is simply beautiful...I still remember one of my friends saying that her voice sounds rough, but seriously I find it unique and pretty much haunting as well!

*Kannadhasan Kaaraikudi from Anjathey.
Okay, I don't really like ghaana songs. but really like this one for its lyrics (it's weird but somehow, I like it) and also the music. Somehow, just somehow it's really nice.Even the dance steps in this song are kinda cool...hehe.Oh, watched the movie yesterday night btw. Will definitely post my thoughts on it asap.

Ok, it's May already and I have not really done anything about "something really really important that I should have started long long time back". Anyway, watched "Vellithirai" yesterday. It was one of the movies in my "must-watch-during-this-holidays" list. The main and probably the only reason the movie was on my list is because of the Raj-duos, PrakashRaj and PrithviRaj! My liking for them increased even more after Mozhi, an amazing movie which starred my ever-favourite actress Jyothika and also these two people.

Coming to "Vellithirai", although I did expect much from the movie, my expectations toned down a little after reading a few reviews. This movie is another product of Duet Movies, Prakashraj's production company which also produced Mozhi. Now, the story. Vellithirai (Silver Screen in English) is a story about cinema, Tamil Cinema. The story's theme is based on how things happen in real in Tamil Cinema, or so they claim ( The narrator says so) and is dedicated to people who strive to make good cinema, good movies.

The story is definitely something new,something different than what one could normally see in Tamil movies. But, being different doesn't mean that it will turn out good always.Not that this movie was not good, I would say that it was a good effort but just wasn't enough. The movie tells the story of Prakashraj who has been on the look for a 'hero' role for the past 16 years and his room-mate Prithviraj is an assistant director, striving to make his own movie for the past 10 years. One day, frustration creeps in and Prakashraj steals Prithvi's "story" (one that he wrote to direct by himself) and uses that to buy himself the 'hero' role. Soon, Prakashraj becomes the "Thalapathy" of Tamil Cinema. He has various fan clubs around the world and becomes super-popular.

Prakashraj's dirty act does come to light, but no one can do anything since Prakashraj smartly registered the story uner his name. Meanwhile, Prithviraj marries Gopika, a popular heroine introduce by him. Unable to find a break for himself, Prithviraj becomes dejected and sorts to drving cabs to make a living. Once, when he goes to meet a producer, the producer casually comments that Prithviraj should cash on on his popularity as the 'husband of an actress' to become a hero and forget his ambition of becoming a director. This frustrates him further and results in Gopika moving out of the house hoping that things will be better for Prithviraj thereafter. I honestly don't find the logic behind this, but movies are not always logic anyways!

Now, Prithviraj is given a golden chance by a producer who knows everything ( about Prakashraj stealing the story and bla bla) and says that Prithviraj should 'use' Prakashraj himself (his popularity and star-status) to become a successful director.Then, the rest of the story is how Prithviraj wins Prakashraj.

On the performance, no one really caught my attention, I mean no one performed well, for me to call them amazing or superb. Really. Prakashraj's role was different with a villainy touch but he wasn't up to mark. I am not a pro to say this but Prakashraj was not his usual self there. He's definitely one of the best actors in Tamil I have seen I must say, but not in this movie. Somehow I felt that none of the main characters of the movie were shown in-depth. The characters say that they are struggling or that their are sad or angry but somehow you can't relate to them.They somehow don't show it clearly.

Btw, there's also another confusion on who exactly the hero of the movie is. Not that we do need a hero but based on the screen space given, Prakashraj looks like the hero of the movie.Moreover, with two song featuring him. Now, on Gopika. She's supposed to be the popular actress.But, she doesn't have the screen presence to potray the role.Rather, she looks like this poor little girl who has been forced to wear all those "movie outfits".Oh, one must also watch-out for 'Jeyam' Ravi, Trisha and Sandhya who make guest appearances as themselves. Songs were nice, particularly "Uyirile" and "Kanji Paanaiyin". These two songs were picturised well too.

Overall, Vellithirai was not strong or impactful enough to be called a must-watch movie. It can be watched if you really don't have anything to do but not a must lar.I was kinda dissapointed but let's just hope that Prakashraj's and Prithviraj's next endeavors are good!!!

Chao!
