Ananthasayanam
Hai Guys, I had completed my third Kerala mural painting - Ananthasayanam. Ever since my batchmate Mr. Ian had forwarded the image link to me, it was my fantascy to attempt. Originally I planned this drawing for 3 ft x 5 ft but had second thoughts whether I can be able to pull it off. While the wood work was going on I took a remaining plywood (1 ft x 2.5 ft) and started the Ananthasayanam painting on it. But while progressing only I realised that it would have been easy if I had started in the 3 ft x 5 ft board because the drawing had so many intricate parts which took a toll while drawing them in still more smaller board size. Atlast when I finished it, it gave me a sense of satisfaction and a confidence to start boards of larger size. For Kerala murals enthusiasts, I have photo documented the stages since the basic outline, so that you people can understand what exactly goes into these paintings.

Shreya
Debate raised to the core on yesterday’s parliament session on the topic of who should be sent to Pakistan for peace talks between India and Pakistan. Congress has nominated South Indian actress Shreya to resolve this issue. Sonia Gandhi told the house that "After watching the movie Kutti we were impressed that Shreya should be sent to Pakistan for peace talks. The way she handled the tension of love between 2 guys in that movie is amazing. The decision was made immediately after she delivered the dialogue ‘ENNAKU KUTTI VENUM’. That is one of the best dialogue I ve ever seen in the movie. Similarly we hope she can go to Pakistan PM Gillani and ask him ‘ENAKU KASHMIR VENUM’ thereby getting entire Kashmir for India.

மறைந்த எழுத்தாளர் ஸ்டெல்லா புரூஸின் கன்னி முயற்சி - நாவல் எழுதுவதில். இது இவர் திரைக்கதையாசிரியராக செய்த முயற்சி கைகூடாததால் நாவலாக மாற்றி தன்னுடைய முதல் நாவலாக எழுதினாராம் ஸ்டெல்லா. ஆனால் இந்த கதையை நான் திரைப்படமாக பார்த்திருக்கிறேன். அதை பற்றி கடைசியில் சொல்கிறேன். தலைப்பே சொல்லிவிடும் - இது ஒரு காதல் கதை என்று. இது ஒரு முக்கோண காதல் கதையும் கூட. குற்றாலத்திலிருந்து சென்னை வரும் வைத்தியநாதன், அவனது மேலாளர் சூர்யா (பெண்), அவனது சக ஊழியை ஆனந்தி என மூவரிடையே பின்னப்பட்ட காதல் வலை தான் - ஒரு முறை பூக்கும். இறுதியில் யாருடைய காதல் ஜெயித்தது என்பது தான் முடிவு. ஒரு சிறந்த எழுத்தாளருடைய கன்னி முயற்சி என்பதை தவிர பெரிதாக சொல்லிக்கொள்ளும் அளவுக்கு இதில் எதுவும் இல்லை.

சில வாரங்களுக்கு முன்பு என் முன்னாள் சகஊழியர் அனீஸ் தான் துபாய்க்கு இரண்டாவது implementation-க்கு செல்வதாக கிளம்புவதற்கு முதல் நாள் அழைத்து சொன்னார். அவருக்கு எனது மனமார்ந்த வாழ்த்துக்களை சொன்னேன். சமீபத்தில் என் அலுவலகத்தில் சக ஊழியர்களிடம் பேச்சுவாக்கில் என் முன்னாள் கம்பெனியில் இரண்டாவது implementation project கிடைத்து வேலையை துவங்கிவிட்டார்கள் என்று சொன்னேன். அதற்கு ஒரு ஊழியர் “என்னங்க... இன்னும் கொஞ்ச நாள் அந்த நிறுவனத்திலேயே இருந்திருந்தீர்கள் என்றால் இரண்டாவது implementation experience-ம் கிடைத்திருக்குமே. கோட்டை விட்டுட்டீங்களே!” என்று ஆதங்கப்பட்டார். என்னை விட அவர் அதிகமாக ஆதங்கப்பட்டது எனக்கு கொஞ்சம் ஆச்சரியமாகவே இருந்தது. எனக்கு அது அவ்வளவு பெரிய இழப்பாக தோன்றவில்லை. இதன் விளைவு தான் இந்த “ஒருவேளை..” பதிவு, மேலும் இன்னொரு ”ஒருவேளை” அனுபவத்தையும் சேர்த்து.

Party
It is always nice to have guests at our place on weekends, get togethers as we believe that presence of others make a difference. When I recently saw the trailors of upcoming Hindi movie - "Athithi tum kab jaaoge?", I got reminded of some occassions where I had felt - why I invited certain people? It is sheerly their behaviours at that time which made me think like that but not having any hatred towards them. Sometimes certain people come to a get together but behave as if they had come for watching certain TV program alone, or having glued to the mobile making the rest's presence not mattered. So this post is about a couple of incidents where I felt when this guest will go?

"Ishqiya" Vidya
This weekend I watched all these movies back to back on a Saturday night, which had been overdue for a long time - Dostana, Love Aaj Kal and Achamundu Achamundu. Why I wanted to watch these movies now, that too after an year? Each had its own reasons - while 'Dostana' had the very strong Johan Abraham factor, 'Love Aaj Kal' was mainly for Imtiaz Ali's sensitive and refreshing script, "Achamundu Achamundu" was for its offbeat theme - paedeophiles. These movies reinforced the faith that still there are people who are there to attempt different kind of movies within the commercial format. Among the last batch of movies seen, Ishqiya appealed better to me. So rather than wasting four individual posts, I just thought I can pile up everything in one post.
