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.

Modern Girl
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.

Preity Zinta in IPL
The auction of IPL threw new controversy when an unknown Chennai guy called Karupasaamy made himself available for auction and was sold to Kings XI for a prize of USD 750,000 dollars which is the rate equal to West Indies sensation Kieran Pollard. Karupasaamy, who is the leading run scorer in Marina beach cricket is also an opening bowler. He was very happy about his price in IPL. Lalit Modi, the commissioner of IPL told the press “Today totally 12 players were sold, 3 players fetched the maximum amount. They are Pollard, Bond and Karupasaamy”. When asked who Karupasaamy is, Mr.Modi told “Karupasaamy is a promising Under 19 cricketer who plays for India. you guys dont know him??? You guys should start concentrating on Under 19 cricket too” laughed Modi thereby insulting many journalists there in the conference room. Priety Zinta and Shilpa Shetty who were there at either side of Modi, as usual laughed as though Mr.Modi cracked the joke of the century.

Creative Block

Hai Guys... It had been a while I had updated my blogs and not that I had abondened it. Change of residence to Bangalore proved as deterrent to blogging. An unusual worktime (UK Shift) that disturbs a lot with my creative evenings is the major reason, which is further compounded by a serious creative block. This block is the reason why my blog oflate is becoming like a personal diary. It had been sometime I had read the books I bought with love from the Chennai Book Fair. Also I seriously miss travelling because of the on going wood work at home. So I was catching up with the missed out movies like a maniac on weekends - 2 per night (Kandein Kadhalai, Unnai Pol Oruvan, Nadodigal, Ishqiya) so life is quite erratic and I hope that it will take sometime for me to get settled to this timings.

Anantha Sayanam
Ananthasayanam


Only silverline of this dark cloud is that I had started my third Kerala Mural - Anantha Sayanam, which had been my dream painting for a while. However the best part of this rough patch is that I am able to spend more time with my kid Buttu Singh (Aadhithya) till noon and making my parents settling down a relatively simpler process. Like any phase I am just waiting for this phase to "pass by" soon. - 1356 reads!!!
