Being Crazy - Being Me..!

I had been thinking on this, Filling my Blog with empty ideas that applies nowhere.
Well,i don't mean to say that i should be posting "Theory of Jupiter's cosmic-force with some Red-Giant..!!", if so, i had to be a guy somewhere in NASA with Big Spectacles hanging balanced-over my nose and where i would have more interest in Propulsion mechanism than Shakira's Belly-Dance..!!

Well, I really don't know why exactly i m typing down this non-sense,and even if some guy comes across my blog by accident,He would die of an heart-attack after reading my Posts.

There are a lot of questions,uncertainities hovering in my mind... Like how would be my life in coming years,and what would have happened to the doggy of my neighbour's after she was attracted towards the pokkiri styled Stray in our street.

Look,What my mind is doing here ,Wavery,Jumping out to make a responsible step on my future and the next second jumping to the most idiotic DOGGY LOVE-STORY Going on....speaking about my mind, it has really been behaving odd since my college days.
Sometimes,I really felt that i should have landed myself at an asylum - a lunatic - i was - a crazy buff - An Insane Guy....!!! -- Hey wait, It seems i have got the clarity now...So,that's what it was all about..!!

Okay Chill...!!!

I would like to fill up a little more on the empty space down here,

Now how did my Life - my Mind began their journey in the past...


*************************************************************************************

Date : 29th July 1984

Time : sometime around when Veerappan would be brushing his teeth or possibly When ManiRathnam was reading news-paper in his rest-room

Location : Dindugal,A then remote town in the sub-urb of Madurai.

A Nurse comes out of the ward and says to my dad (Who had arrived from Bangalore) "Saar,Paiyyan Poranthirukkan"..(To the people who don't know tamil , it means ,"It's a Boy..!!")

My Happy and Proud Dad comes in with a smile as I lay there in a little cradle,and lifts me gently in his arms,I start crying "Booo...!! Someone save me...A Giant is Kidnapping me..Help ,Help...Booo...waaaa..!! ".



*************************************************************************************

Well,That's how "my Life -my Mind " combination 'duo' began their long journey some 22 years ago... and they are still working perfect(Perfect - Well what does that mean..?)

If i start putting in such Crap - Some Blogger would track down and Shoot me,for such a horrible post..!!

I m still wondering,wondering a lot on lot of stuff's that matter much and some of those which will never help me anywhere,..But..it just won't help.... That's How INSANE GUY's are supposed to be..!!

"A Call To Happiness"



This is one of the questions that everyone ask themselves at some-point of time in their Life..."Am i Happy..?"

Really, are you...??

Of all the primary-emotions,..

--anger--fear--sadness--joy--disgust--surprise--curiosity--acceptance--

...'joy' or happiness', that is most sought after,...is it the right thing to do..??

Compare the scenario to the three primary colors,-Red-Blue-Green, well, if here,importance was given to only one of them, can you ever got to see,the billions of beautiful colors that are produced due to their combinations...??

To be a little clear,..Can you imagine the world in a complete Red Shade,everything red around you, Your Skin, Your eyes, Your wear, Your Bike, Your home,Your Girl-friend(A Red Girl-friend-- Must be pretty HOT..!!), or Your Boss (My Boss normally appers Red..!!)..Red Flowers --Red trees--Red Sun -- Red Moon--Red Everything and Red - The Only Thing...!!


Hope you re getting my point,

To make it more simple... "Why does a Man Runs after Happiness,Whole Life..??"

Will a person be able to value 'Happiness', without the influence of any of the other emotions..
I ll make it simple again,all i like to say here is..
" The Perfectly 'HAPPY-World' would become a BORING Place to live after some-time.."

The real taste of Happiness can only be understood -with- 'defeat', 'tears','feeling-insecure','missing someone special',....

If a man had been happy from birth to death.. then he'll never know what exactly Happiness means...

According to me, God must have been crazy...!! -- HIS design of human-life must have a reverse cycle -- Imagine, A man comes into world with Old-age -- Grows Young to Middle-age (Is the word grows right-word to use here...??) -- Then Slips into his careless-adolescence -- Then goes into is ignorant-childhood -- Then to an infant -- and finally disperse into an unfused-material...

Well, If i were GOD... i would have engineered life as suggested.... Well, I m not the GOD here, So i have no authority to Challenge the System designed by HIM...

... Sometimes , i really wonder... does this world we live in-- really exixts -- i still doubt this....


Every single thing in world gives a doubt whether GOD really exists... and those same things say me with a clear under-tone... HE really does exists..!!

Well, My question was not this... it was...
"Why does a Man Runs after Happiness,Whole Life..??"

... Happiness, is just a perception,a personal-view,an abstract-emotion and it's not a goal..!!..

Happiness can be translated to a Chemical-equation, it just kindles your deepest-hormones and stimulates brain... finally ends-up with a curvy-smile showing up your teeth... is this the final state of being happy..??


.. I really don't know...

so, What exactly does happiness means, and why is everyone running after it...

My Dear Life,..I have no complaint against You and My Maker(if He really exists.!!)...

Okay, Then what is my purpose being here...To Run after happiness madly...

Though not sure, i can define something here....

I was Happy - "..When i saw two lovers,at a food-stall.. the lady jumped with hot taste hurting her-- and her lover instantly ran down the street to get her some water.."


I was Happy - "..When i saw, two old-aged friends in park, had their jaws spat laughing-remembering their childhood pranks.."


I was Happy -"..When i saw a Husband teaching her wife to ride a bike, treating her like a child,seated closely behind her,.."


I was Happy - "..Listening to Mitwaa song from KANK played in a local tea-stall.."


I was Happy - "..Watching Liverpool FC win the European Chapionship.."


I was Happy - "..when my friend,after a long wait - got a decent job.."


I was Happy - "..Seeing Happiness all around me and feeling the good inside me.."


I was Happy - "..Though i was not able to know what exactly happiness means,but to feel it around me all the time, and i have not acknowledged it.."

.... Just Live your life... At it's own pace ... Don expect happiness to reach you.. Just feel the spontaneity around you... A simple laughter from an infant breaks into thousand pieces, skipping all the way,contagious,forcing you to smile-back..

..Life is all about living... living even if you have lost.. even if you have failed miserably.. even if you are rejected.. these things though painful.. will let you know the Real-Feel for Happiness...

... rather too confused after reading this...?? - well, so am i..!!

...Everything is just a perception... enemity,hate,jealosy,greed,happiness,anger.. all are part of this life... but nothing is true or real,since all these exists only in a person's mind.. not as a living-form...

"Life is Beautiful" - Terms and conditions apply :)

MOZHI - A Perfect Farewell for Jyothika ..!!

There are certain times in life where.. explanation, words, and sometimes.. language means nothing..- at that moment Silence speaks the loudest..!!


Last week, i happened to watch "Mozhi" - Supposed to be Jyothika's last movie- after she announced to settle down and believe me it was a complete accident that we went to this movie, and we still consider this 'accidentalplan' to be a blessing.

Normally, at college, we used go for movies on the very first day of release , there was some prestige problem in college.."Watching movie on first day-first show.."


Well... forget it... i can speak here, about everything.. from Mumtaj and T.R's dance in "Veerasaamy" to Angelina Jolie's legs in "Mr.and Mrs.Smith"..and let me say you.. ..i m not here for that..!!

Instead, it's about one of the most beautiful of recent tamil movies--Mozhi(Music of love) ..!!


Two people.. Karthik(Prithiviraj) and Vijay(Prakashraj).. Musicians from Vidhyasagar's Band.... they like to talk about love.. and wish that the moment they fall in love must be a monumental happening in their life.. like bells ringing or a flash-of-light from heaven..!!

According to these lines our hero's love-story begins... Karthik ,while walking down the street witnesses a dispute between husband and wife.. and decides to sort the problem... at a point the man starts to physically abuse the woman. Suddenly, a pretty young woman enters the fray(hey wait--- here's where jyothika gives entry- it's comparable to any Telugu hero's entry......!!) and, enraged, starts beating up the husband and rescues the wife!(you must notice the poster of english movie in back-ground saying "Mirattal-Adi"--Humour forms the Essence of this movie in every-frame)

And this forms the complete atmosphere of 'love at first-sight' for Karthik with a monumental occasion.. An ice-cream vendor rings BELLS and A Flash of glowing-Bulb gives the required spark..!!
Karthik is most awe-struck with the young woman’s courage and presence of mind and tries to walk up to talk to her, but by the time he gets across the traffic-filled street, she’s gone.

Later,Karthik and Vijay come to a new apartment, and the apartment-secretary Ananthakrishnan object's Bachelors staying there and he wants them to leave, the situation gets worse after a 'dramatic towel-dance' and 'drunk-night' by Vijay..



Karthic finds Archana(Jyothika) in the same apartment and tries to get friendly with her,but she ignores him and moves away.
He is puzzled, until one day,when he has to take Archana’s grandmother to the hospital for treatment. Here he finds out that Archana is deaf and mute! Karthik is shocked and deeply moved.But his feelings for Archana becomes stronger after this.

Archana,is a self-reliant woman,who doesn't want anyone to have sympathy towards her and she wishes to live her life in her own way.

The major part of the movie is pure-fun and comedy,-at one point of time- Karthik wishes to know how it feels like being 'unable to speak' and 'not able to hear'... and his efforts to try this will make you jump out of seat laughing..!!

Karthik's attempt to impress Archana by going for jogging..(ends up with archana's dog chasing him all over chennai) and his attempt to show his football skills at beach..Vijay's futile attempt to teach Ananthakrishnan's son Music..forms a continuous part of healthy-laugh for the movie-watcher's..

But this is not all the movie about... It's more about "The delicacy of love".. and there are many scenes that will make you fall in love with the the Movie itself..
..and one such is -the way Karthik places Archana’s hand over a speaker so she can feel the vibration of the music he plays,and after that the way he proposes her in the most determined and endearing fashion, is really expressive....


.Finally Karthik finds Sheela(Swarnamalaya)-Archana's collegue at Sign-language school ( yes, Archana is a teacher in sign school.. and may be that's why she like's hitting people--first the quarrelling husband--then the guy who proposed her--third is our hero Karthik-after his proposal....).and sheela understands karthik's love for Archana and decides to help him, and gives the depiction of how Archana as a child had undergone a difficult-life, due to her disability,she was abandoned by her father(and this forms archana's deepest fears.. and this is the reason , why she hesitates to accept Karthik's love for her.. and she doesn't want the same thing to happen to her child, if she were born with same disability..)..sheela also reveals to him that Archana is an extremely self-reliant and hot-headed person. Her physical limitations sometimes leads her to frustration and she fiercely tries to overcome her emotions(one such depiction is towards the climax ..where she screams , after Karthik's persuation to come her to Vijay and Sheela's Wedding..Karthik leaves her home with broken-heart....Archana unable to bear her pain screams out.. Her Scream echoes all over.....beautifully narrated), her psyche has been scarred since the day her father had left her mother and her at a very young age.Sheela means to say that- Archana despises and distrusts men.

But nothing seems to stop Karthik from these statements, Karthik is a determined man and he goes all-out to win Archana’s friendship and eventually, her heart and he even manages to learn sign language for her cause.

Meanwhile .. our second hero ,Vijay experiences the same kinda Love-bells and Love-spark with sheela..
and the way he proposes her for marriage will surely make your tummy-ache with laugh..

The rest of the movie is still beautiful,simply how Karthik wins Archana back in a most poignant and endearing manner, yet, without any unnecessary melodrama or exaggeration.

Best part of the movie is that you will find humor in every frame of the film.. and even in songs...
Well.. i almost forgot about the songs.. This movie will mark Vidhyasagar and Vairamuthu's best performance together.. from "Sev'vaanam selai'katti.." to "Pesaa Madandhai'ye.." every song is beautifully scripted... my favourite being.."Kaatrin Mozhi.."-(The eternal song of silence....!!)

The minor characters like, Professor- A Mentally affected father of lost son(played by Bhaskar),the Apartment watchman(Balaji)and Mr.Ananthakrishnan's wife,(well.. i dono her real name)..and her son..everyone comes alive on screen with seamless performance..

Applause for Director Radha Mohan(in the sign language way..!!) has done a commendable job with a story and screenplay that is simple and sweet as a 'Sugar-Candy' and the movie depends more on the performance of the actors rather than any English movie kinda "special effects" or Mass-Hero based “masala”.
The story-writer,of course Radha Mohan, has taken a very simple but a admirable effort,The leads being exactly 'two extreme opposite-ends' , one being a musician-'sound' in short-is his passion,career and almost his very part of life.. and the other being a 'deaf & dumb' -to whom sound, music,voice,arguement,everthing means the same--Silence..!!



To be Honest, Mozhi- is one of the Best Film i ve ever watched,it's simple, loveable, real-romance..!!
Mozhi is a light hearted-musical,romantic-comedy and a refreshing story of a self-reliant woman,for whom physical challenges are no obstacles...all in one..!!
I am waiting for the DVD(well, the original one's) to get released to grab a copy..!!


The Final Good Bye...


Speaking of Jyothika, She has led a much different life, Her first film was "Doli Sajake Rakhna" in 1998 by Priyadarshan-the movie was a remake of tamil blockbuster "Kadhalukku Mariyadhai"(though her movie didn't do well in hindi ) However, she found success in Tamil movies. She had maintained a clean image on and off-screen, free of controversies.She found her love in Tamilnadu and married Tamil heart-throb 'Surya' in 2006.Besides that, Jyothika is a well known name in every 'Tamil-household' around the world these days, due to large Tamil dispora, having fans as far as Japan and Amsterdam.

Soooo..Coming back to Mozhi , the Crown goes to Jyothika.

In Mozhi, her role of a fiercely independent deaf mute woman is moving and seamlessly done. It is more like poetry....and as she reminds us yet again of what a loss the movie-watchers are going to face with her moving away from films...MOZHI- A Perfect Farewell for Her..!!
