Indian Modia

So much news about Narendra Modi these days , I doubt whether its Indian Media or Indian Modia !
Newsmaker of the month is definitely Modi. Whatever he does , whatever he utters is making news these days. The media is taking on the man by all means. It seems its an election between media (both TV and print) and Narendra Modi. Who will triumph at the end will be known once the results of Gujarat Elections are out.
Till then all the best Narendra "Bhai" Modi and Indian Media !!

A movie about you

Happened to watch "Evano Oruvan" last Saturday. After reading the reviews I went with an expectation that I am going to see a different movie.

The movie starts with a brief overview of a normal middle-class person's daily life. Sridhar Vasudevan(Madhavan) is a guy who works for a private bank and his wife Vatsala(Sangeetha) is a house wife. They have 2 kids.They live a normal life at Nanganallur, Chennai. Sridhar is a normal middle class guy who fights for day to day living.He sees lots of happening in the society which people take it for granted.
Incidents like a shop keeper charging 2 rupees extra for coke, a road side shop keeper dumping things near hospital, a bike parked in no parking area, a water tanker guy asking 100 rupees extra to give water. Madhavan asks question to each and everyone of them in a violent way.

How he transforms back to a normal guy and being treated as a fool by the society forms the rest of the story.

The way Madhavan deals with problem is what a normal guy would do. Its very natural.

Madhavan fits the role of Sridhar Vasudevan as a tee. He hasn't over (re)acted in any of the scene which is good.He is ably supported by Sangeetha and Seeman. Everyone in the film has done their job with perfection.

This movie is about you and me who sees atrocities in society day in and day out. We generally satisfy ourselves with whatever we get and that's what forms the theme of the movie.

No songs, No dance,No heroism, No fight sequence, No villain, No romance. Even if the movie has so many "No" I would rate this as a "Yes" movie .

Ps: Those who want entertainment can ignore this movie . Its not for you.

...Of the year 2K7

End of the year will always spur up polls across television channels, web sites on choosing news maker of the year, song of the year, movie of the year etc., etc.,
But why all these fuss at the end of the year. Its like appraisal happening at the end of the year for guys working in private sectors. Media is appraising the celebrities. Who made the news throughout the year. Which movie is the best , which song is the best so on and so forth.
But as an individual what good you did in the year, What bad you did in the year. Who is appraising that ? where will I get that report card from ? You might tell me that you have to appraise yourself and you have to rate yourself.
As an individual I always put high rating for myself. I want someone to do that. According to Hindu Mythology "Chitraguptan" in heaven is having count of all your good deeds and bad deeds. If he is having I would like to have a look at my page in his Y2k7 diary :)
