The Way I See It!!
సమయం: ఉదయం 9 గంటలు (కొన్నేళ్ళ క్రితం) సందర్భం: సూర్య గ్రహణం "తలుపులన్నీ వేసేయండి. కర్టెన్ లన్నీ మూసెయ్యండి." ఆజ్ఞాపించారు మా మామగారు. "వంటలన్నీఆపేయండి. టిఫిన్ లు ఏమి చెయ్యేదు. మంచి నీరు కూడా వద్దు. సూర్య గ్రహణం అయిపోయిన తర్వాత స్నానం చేసి 11 గంటలకి పొయ్యి వెలిగించండి" పట్టపగలు ట్యూబ్ లైట్ వేసుకొని అందరం హాలులో కూర్చున్నాం. "పట్టిపగలు పనులన్నీ ఆపి లోపల కూర్చోవడం వరకు బానే ఉంది. కానీ మంచి నీటి తో... Continue Reading →
Of all the pursuits in life, the one I seek most fervently is clarity. Not the kind that comes from information or knowledge or from any emotional observation, but the profound consciousness observed by a rational mind that is at peace with itself. My son, the other day, told me he was hungry and that... Continue Reading →
PreludeI abandoned the search of the English version of Kalki's blockbuster 5-part book series 'Ponniyan Selvan' when I heard that the movie is being made by Maniratnam. What more can I ask for when my favourite director is at the helm of making it. The trailer released, and I was impressed by it. It seemed... Continue Reading →

Saaho then clings onto one flying Jetman and shoots up to the sky before crash landing on a high-rise building. Later, he dons that Jetman gear himself and stands tall with that Jetpack...

"Do you have any tattoos?" "No" I replied "Do you have any metal implants?" "No" "Do you have diabetes?" "No" "Are you Claustrophobic?" "No" I said, not sure if I should be proud of that answer. Few more questions later I was taken into the room, and the technician asked me to lie down on... Continue Reading →
There is hardly any challenge in Indianising, or even Tamilising the concept of Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight'. All you need is a Friday night, a pub, and a talkative friend for the inception of a storyline. For the rest, such as screenplay and characterizations, you need Murugadoss of course. The Batman's take on the... Continue Reading →
“Life was going on well, and then common sense played along” The human mind is the most fascinating creation in this universe, far more mystifying than the universe itself. It is complex, chaos, prejudiced, and often confused. There is no single truth, but just perceptions. We can't master the mind that is housed within us,... Continue Reading →
"So sorry to let you go" I looked at the watch one last time as I placed it in the shelf. My sister gifted it 6 years ago and now it looks old, beaten, scarred as it endured through the sun, wind, rain and snow along with me all these 6 years. That was a... Continue Reading →
The Bahubali mania entered our house almost a month ago when the trailers were released. We have seen many larger than life movies such as Avatar, Avengers and The lord of the rings, but surprisingly none of them had the effect that Bahubali had – probably because of the emotional connect to the regional story,...

Very early in the morning “Are you ok?” I stifled a yawn “Yes” replied my wife “You don’t seem alright?” I further probed “Nothing, it’s just a Facebook post” she looked at her phone “What about it?” “Well, there is this post about an old age home back in India. They have interviewed few parents... Continue Reading →
