Yennai Arindhaal

First time stepped out, after almost settled at the shifted house, to watch Yennai Arindhaal – an excellent Tamil action thriller film, from the director (Gautham Menon) who is popular with his cop subjects and this is supposed to be the conclusion of his cop trilogy. Ajith who wore the khaki shirt/cap this time, even though he’s seen almost in casuals, has recreated an image for himself and battled well parallel to Surya in Kaakha Kaakha and Kamal in Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu.

Yennai Arindhaal is portrayed around the protagonist named Sathyadev and apt to the name (Sathya, which means truth), the character has consciously tried the best in establishing the same. Ajith comes in four different look and style, according to the phases of his character, has exhibited smart and intelligent to admire and also a person with intense while combat and gentle like wind when patting his loved ones.

Next to Ajith the most impressive was Arun Vijay’s performance, as anti-hero. He has acted more than dozen films as hero, but he couldn’t address well in industry rather being son of veteran actor, Yennai Arindhaal will lead him where he wants to be. Although his character and hairstyle reminds Pandian of Kaakha Kaakha, Arun’s hard work is bright enough.

Trisha comes as bold and beautiful, and allured, although portrayed a character of pretty young mother, her romance with Ajith look matured and rejuvenating at same despite their relationship that sounds odd and many couldn’t get what. I think the best and most exciting part of the film was the 2^nd half from where I feel the real movie starts. The film kept moving at the rear was very interesting and engaged, even though the progress was predictable.

One of the blissful parts of the film was the music! Harris Jayaraj’s background score, as well the beautiful songs are caressing the heart as fascinating as cinematography, which hold some unique light presentation. Though the film was captured mostly under low light and many scenes composed in night, there’s something enrich in tone and light to cause thrill and admire.  Like they say, last but not least, Gautham Menon’s way of filmmaking is something worth watch whatever the subject. 

Monkeys on neighbour’s terrace

As you all know there are monkeys in my neighborhood, here is couple of photos on few monkeys perched on a terrace of neighbor's house. 

A little one climbing over the railing of an open balcony... I am also expected to see these monkeys in my yet to be shifted residence, since the canopy of trees (that spread behind this house) extends to the backyard of the row house that we planned to move this weekend.

Another house shifting event ahead!

A month less than to utter a year, another move waits ahead in form of house shifting. Like the previous one, where we lived for the same period i.e. we are moving out of this house as moved in eleven months before. Though the reasons aren’t same this time, I think the move could be for the betterment of life, peace in environment and nostalgic with memories. Shifting to a place I was familiar and very close (120m) to my native home – where I grew up and lived till I age 20 and started blogging – and a street adjacent to the current one, brings me to feel closer and nostalgia.

We aren’t stressed searching house this time and the house that we suppose to move in next 2 days was the only one we checked and liked at the initial step itself.  It isn’t a great bungalow or spacious house, but the compact in size (I think) is more than enough for 4 members to stay comfort. The house positioned in ground floor is a kind of row house but built with enough space between each duplex house to park cars. What impressed me as usual was the environment. The house in a backstreet or street away from the main road is quite calm and very less expose to pollution, seems to have good ventilation and light.

Being the first house on the row of three, I hope to catch with things happening on street looking out through the windows. I could also come out and wader in the open space, as well go on street without fear. I hope I could write more about the place, the happy old days and the memories that I always cherish as best and many things to connect while transferred back to origin. Even while shifted to this house (the current one) we weren’t quite comfort or content, but to put an end to the house hunt which has been constant and unsettled for quite some time. When things were settled on its own, very lately, the owner of this house raised their voice for reconstruction.

Though we aren’t in force anyway and their announcement and request weren’t harsh anymore, but our intention (to shift home esp. due to water problem and expose to nuisance created by the school as we staying opposite to) has been fuelled by their pre-plan although a year still left according to their two years agreement. The broker who showed us this home never said or he too ignorant about the lease contact, but being committed we aren’t to go back immediately then. Gladly all doors open for us this time, there is no broker fee, anymore conditions on keeping pet or restriction in food, because most of the ads on houses for rent these days prefer only veg.

So we are happy to move to a different home and I am excited about the new environment and people, although it isn’t quite new but within 10 years don’t things change anymore? The landscape of Adyar has been turned to certain extent and exists alongside equally with old residence and buildings.  Not all people we are familiar with exist. And when I left this area I wasn’t wheelchair bound and not many would have confronted me after I become confine, but my memories behold many faces and moments fresh.

P.S. Since shifting house, I could not access to internet for less than a week or so... putting off to all online activities and blogging. Hope it doesn’t take a month to reconnect like it happened last time with shifting. I will blog until I am available with net or shifted quite. 

Sunday Photos: Volkswagen Beetle

There was a heritage car rally happening in Chennai this weekend, where the old cars are drove to and fro to Pondicherry. Being close to Elliots Beach in Besant Nagar, I couldn't visit the venue – where cars are parked in front of the promenade – although I was interested, I wasn't intended to go to be the truth. But I have been to one of the rally held in VGP (Golden Beach) parking lot, few years back on ECR and got chance to capture some of the vintage cars on park, as well as on move. Follows one of the cars I found in rally: a yellow color Volkswagen Beetle, a 1964 model!

The Volkswagen Beetle, also known as VW Type 1 or VW Bug, is a two door come four passenger car with rear engine manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003. The need of this car and its functional objectives were formulated by Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, who wished for a cheap, simple car to be mass-produced for the new road network of his country. He contracted Porsche in 1934 to design and build it to his exacting standards was one of the first rear-engine cars, which was on designing for four years.

The bug on move

With over 21 million manufactured in an air-cooled, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive configuration, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design platform, worldwide. Although designed in the 1930s, the Beetle was only produced in significant numbers from 1945 was internally designated the Volkswagen Type 1 and marketed simply as the "Volkswagen". The model became widely known in its home country as the Käfer (beetle in German) and was later marketed as such in Germany, and as the Volkswagen Beetle in other countries.

Wow! A tag after long back

DestinationInfinity trapped me in a tag, but to say the truth I took this into my favor as I was out of idea what to post in my blog today. Actually I don’t have a thought to write about me because my blog is a part of myself but still I like to make some notes. So here are 7 things about me. 

1.  Liked to be simple, I like things related to same and also like it to be compact and neat. And to put it simple I even received a certificate while in school for coming neat to school.
2. I am very easy/happy going guy and ever looked serious or can’t even act like that. I too forgive easily (esp. to avoid hurting others) and always try to give change to see if they could adjust or repeat it again.
3. An atheist! But I don’t exhibit it to others unless it needed and also don’t interrupt others belief and accept the dear ones come up with scared ash/saffron in affection and love. Though I know nothing going to change by letting those, at least I don’t hurt their feelings until they understand me quite.
4.  I am a Complan boy, but love coffee more than anything and lately addicted to butter biscuit and tea! :D  A non-vegetarian on limited intake with recipes/dishes but the favorite one is fish.
5. I always go for things and think which is only possible; because I don’t want my life to lead stressful and let others suffer for my intention and desire. I feel content with what I have.
6. I always want to go out exploring places and an adventure seeker, who likes to venture into the wild and take roads that less traveled. An off-road enthusiast who believes the true experience lies only out of comfort.
7. I have a passion for world cinema and for me the films are not just entertainment but there’s lot to understand/learn and admire. I don’t like watching films in pirated DVDs or downloading a film before it crosses 100 days. But these days the TV Channels don’t let me wait long and as soon or even before the film is out of theater they drop at our small screen.  Quality is very important for me when watching a film in theater/television, because I don’t watch films just for that although my list of films watched are very less.

I am not going to tag anybody and I think many followers have been tagged for the same by their friends. So those willing to share about you can do :)
