Disgrace

A life had gone no one could bring back and what I request is at least stop humiliating. It’s news about a college student who committed suicide in Chennai because being disgraced by her teachers suspecting her to be stolen money from her classmate. The news published and comes to everyone’s attention and the teachers were arrested after a group of protesters highlighted to issue in front of the college.

But things never stopped there... the newspapers highlight the news everyday with its progress mentioning about the girl being shamed. What an intense cause could feel the dear ones who repeated to review the disgrace conveyed by the newspaper which could be something more than being lost her.

I condemn such act the media continue to handle esp. the Tamil newspapers and there way of describing the incident as if they had witnessed is worse. Whether or not such a treatment given by teachers should be condemnable and they are our responsible creator of a better future and whoever unveils the secret without their permission should be contempt to crime.

We have the law and the thing we need is courage to fight the battle... one can easily point finger on others and we never know are they enough to bear the critic to sustain and this is something that stops us from blaming others even they are suspect. A life is indeed important even they commit mistake or done something wrong.

Aadukalam (playfield)

Based on the story of traditional cockfight the movie has some enchanting moments of cock fights which causes an excitement about which one defeats other. The first half carried off through the competitions between two cock fighter teams involving traditionally into the plot once got vigor to clash with cocks to showcase who’s is top in this prior and one end up winning the match with an envy within themselves which crack up in the next half with ego, jealous and provoke to rule the field.
There is no better field to showcase this south Indian traditional game that nearly belongs to Madurai and the Aadukalam had done something to the dying game to cause an interest and deliver a special feeling for cocks. Danush as one who let go cocks into the cockpit had well suited the roll except for his low voice modulation and unclear dialogue which seems necessary for his character to drop us in need and Tapsee as his girlfriend light the movie through her appearance which seems somewhat shady. Anywhere she resembles latter heroines of Mumbai.

I must say something about the director Vetrimaran who interests me through his speech in a talk show and the way he picks up the plot was very different and I liked his latter movie for using a Bike (Bajaj Pulsar) as a main asset and holding the cockfight this time he resembles again being distinct. Except couple of identified faces many characters portray the essence of nativity and esp. the old man who renowned as Vettaikaran (hunter) does a great job supporting the suspense (even apparent) till last and arrogant become very nature to him.

To talk about songs and music, it comes along the movie wherever it needs and doesn’t take part particularly the movie to boredom or slow pace. The Yathea yathea song was lovable while listening... The background score for certain moments are superb and cause an energy perhaps the effort taken for cockfights which somehow seems like graphics was the best part of the movie and we couldn’t appreciate quite which has its part of discrimination and unfair feeling among characters dilute consequence.

Perhaps the movie is a welcome move towards south with a caught of cockfights and the treatment given to it to the outcome result which means something... The government has restricted these cockfights certain and a proper permission is request to hold it despite the aggravations comes from those working against animals being agonizing.

127 Hours

The time rolls on his wrist and any cost or effort couldn’t move the boulder to save him along the trapped wrist among the walls of Utah’s Canyon. The Jai Ho feel of enthusiasm leads the story of a real life mountain climbing hero Aron Ralston’s struggle with the incident and how he saves himself by cutting his wrist at last to survive was portrayed well by James Franco!
The dramatic screenplay disclose the hero as a fun loving and careless among the mountain climbing and how he treat the girls with an exciting slide into the hidden pool was amazing and cause a sense what gonna be next. As we expect there weren’t many adventures to follow and the way camera expose the canyon and man trapped with boulder looks awe… and the crossing jets across the blue sky were added fabulous.

The man not alone trapped he tapes the intense struggle and reload the collected videos taken with friends and girlfriend by recalling his childhood days with canyon and handy cam sustain the movie with sentiments despite realizing his ignore for not being informed. What’s entertaining was his funnier way of recoding his trap as a reporting news journal and the flashflood releasing him from the boulder which seems very true yet good dream.

Crashing his bones and cut through arm was something despite somehow disgust but it cause a great relief as if we had trapped with a boulder and James Franco’s expression to each part was obvious but quite not serious and thus it exuberates. The cousin who was giving me company wasn’t sure interested about the movie and just being called he sits beside me to watch.

One thing that tempting the movie was A.R.Rahman’s music and he again proves to be jubilant and somewhere in silence I were searing for his thrum and thus was his back ground score, but somewhere I felt the initial tunes of Raavanan’s Usure poguthe… which somewhat inspired him to recreate a album recently. It won’t wonder if the movie wins Academy because of its fabulous visuals and portraying a peculiar character despite moved by debut score… but somehow I enjoyed the team’s previous movie Slumdog Millionaire!

Commit suicide (a debate)

It looks like life’s becoming tough everywhere and its common that everyone want to get away from any trouble and commit suicide is not a certain way of relief. Lately many people take this decision or I come to know certain that people had developed an impatient and unbearable towards suffering or pain which caused by anything. We are easy to blame others with uncertain about their situation and even thought we learn to work against such attitude we couldn’t do anything unless people realize it on own or think positive.

The thought to commit suicide mostly happens on desperate and mental torture when things go out of hand and it mostly happens among students and youngster who can’t succeed there courses or unsuccessful love or lead a struggled married life but rarely things come to unveil there are people too who suffer a unbearable physical pain or fall into fatal illness or accidents. Sometime or many a time there are chances to reduce the desperate or insane by expressing or sharing with someone or counselors who are intend to do that.

Expressing is a way of reducing stress - a gateway to immense trouble, and people who are open minded are easily come out of trouble but faces critics from outside to setback. I just think seeing such increase in incidents are the cause of inexpressive about their crisis or lack of listening power or impatient to be to understand one’s situation to aid or support the cause. I understand it’s easy to advice somebody to seek inspiration from others who struggle to survive or fight for living with immense trouble but its inaccurate to match one with others crisis and everyone has their own attitude to look into life.

It’s nature to think that ours is the largest trouble among others but what we see and sense could not be understood by anyone unless we expresses our desire which can’t be quite similar to understand. Whatever was the wisdom does not help here when we are unconscious about our decision. The thing of suicide is a matter of second’s decision to let others struggle for life time and again we can’t totally blame others for their right or wrong decision, but overall it’s unacceptable the concept of suicide... the debate continues in mind for some time.

Heritage Rally 2011

The Chennai-Pondicherry Heritage Rally 2011 inaugurated at VGP Universal Kingdom on 8th January was a remarkable display of vintage cars. I always wish to check such a rally which reaches me only after it held somewhere in the city and come to my sight through the TV and newspapers. Thankfully this time the newspaper carried an advertisement in advance so that I make it sure to check the vintage cars and rally.

I wake up early to not miss the chance and made a wakeup call to my cousin and got ready along with mom. We geared up at home and reached the venue in time before the rally was suppose to flag off but being postponed an hour from the actual time we had much time checking the vintage cars which are less than 40 and arranged neatly at radiant colors.

A well modified jeep that stands in front of the venue was pretty added to the show and being an 4x4 enthuse I was attracted by it and wanna go a ride in it. First we parked the vehicle outside to check whether vehicles are allowed inside, and we are glad to go nearby by parking the car inside to check our vehicles ancestors and the way they are maintained and polished looks awesome.

The cheerleaders sweeping the air with colorful pompoms and dressed in short and sweet and shaking to the vibrant of drum beats promotes the show with a charm and smile and makes fun by coming across every vehicle. Getting the whole picture of the vehicles wasn’t easy since more people visiting the event and getting nearby to flash themselves and few owners allow others to check inside the vehicle and most of them are closed windows.

The vehicles are all belong to vintage category and the dodge brothers was one of the oldest on the display and there are countable Morris and number of similar vehicles belong to various companies. The Mini Cooper, Fiat 125 S, V W beetle and Thing and Jaguar are very different and fun looking vehicles and overall I like the Austin which is small like an auto and the classic one with a royal look! (place the mouse on pictures to know the car names)

The cars are vintage and old, but the visitors are more youngsters and children coming around the vehicles interestingly and wearing up trendy. The other attractions of the show was two little kids who were so photogenic and carries a smart pose for pictures but only we couldn’t get it in right way. Two participants accompany with their Labradors, who were seems scare to the drumbeats and bark with a roar later went a breeze ride on one of the topless vehicle.

I thought will all these vehicles run up the compete rally and live up to its name and energy, but the rally flags off by the special guest (DGP Letika Saran) at last proves these vehicles are no less to others in speeding and attracting in style. We left the venue in advance and went further to check how these vintage cars carry themselves on roads by parking somewhere on the road side, and the rally wasn’t constant to follow either and the vehicles where racing like Ferraris to click somehow motion pictures.

Overall it was a fantastic journey across vintage cars and each vehicle is a model for everyone how to maintain a vehicle however old they are. In a situation of buying cars in mind of resale values… these vehicles are invaluable before money!
