I Hate Love Storys – Review


Watched I Hate Love Storys this Sunday. To be frank i was little upset as we missed 20 min of the movie and that to because of a friend who is known for delaying things.

After getting settled the first half was little comical and zoom came the interval. Kudos to the initial minutes we missed.

To be frank I think we didn’t miss much as it was a predictable screenplay and the story was also Old Wine in a New Old Bottle. Only good thing is it has youthful characters.

I Loved the comedy part of the movie, watch Sizzling Sonam Kapoor, the concept of leading the life we need & fight till the last to win what we needed the most.

Yet another Work from Home


Today i had to settle to work from home. As both of my cars were off for service & the two wheeler is used by my sister. It is hard to believe how vehicles have become lifeline of our life.

There were times where I used public transport and there was no private vehicles. I got offer from many friends who spared their vehicle. Again my laziness to goto their home and collect the vehicle has made me sit and work from home.

But i made use of the time by having a facial done.

Why I Like Raavanan


I wanted to make a post about this a while back but it took some time. Itz better late than never. As usual we grabbed tickets for Raavanan on the first day and the immediate response from my friends were negative. I personally liked the movie very much. But as days passed I was getting only one feed back that movie sucks. Also what made me red was people started criticizing Mani Rathnam like;

  • He has gone old.
  • He doesn’t understand latest trent.
  • He is saturated.

But what ever the critic may tell. You cant judge a person with one movie. We all must remember that he has re-defined Indian cinema & one more thing is movie is not that bad. But still I’m unable to crack what went wrong that most of the people didn’t like the movie.

For me Vikram, Karthik & Prabu have given a great performance. Coming back to the point on why I liked the movie is because of the songs, the camera work, stumble comedy & typical mani’s screen play.

IBCD Generation


We all have heard about ABCD (American Born Confused Desis)… But offlate I see a lot of IBCD (Indian Born Confused Desis) including me. Yep i think we are in a generation where we are caught between Indian family values and the western culture which is getting embedded into our lifestyle.

Discos, Pub-culture, Private Parties, Western wear, Group outings et more have all started to become of lifestyle in this decade. Youths of this generation have been exposed to this new found entertainment and this has made them totally confused in balancing their new generation lifestyle with the indian family lifestyle.

This has posted a new challenge to this new generation when it comes to finding their match. This NG has been blessed with the opportunity to network, get acquainted, develop friendship, extend it to LOVE. But here comes the problem;

  • First they have too much options as they meet more people and they endup meeting a couple of people sharing common thoughts or people whom they have longed to form a relationship.
  • Second is to align their romantic life with the Family culture.

Most of my friends lack a lot of clarity while deciding their limits. They end up quarreling while deciding to draw their boundaries. Because of availability of options to form new relationships they end up breaking for small & silly quarrels. This has left a lot of people having strained relationship and made them a confused folk who are very poor in making decision.

One main reason for all this is because of getting raised in a Value System and suddenly jumping into a lifestyle which we were always told is not good or not a part of our life style. It is high time that our education system takes note of this new problem among Indian youth and start addressing the issue. Also there must be awareness programs / camps on the subject.

Until then I don’t see any respite as we are getting more western with our SKIN & stay Indian with our flesh. So, the sad part is when we peel the skin it pains, of we remove the flesh we die.

So we are all living a life by peeling our skin and accepting the trauma of pain to avoid death.

I love this short film!!! Wonderful performance by these amateurs


I love this Tamil Short Film “Kathalil Suthappuvathu Eppady” (How to Screw your love)…

My car engine seized


It is a tough time for me to commute. I didn’t realize that my small car’s (Zen) coolant water & engine oil got drained & I drove my car too much that the engine got seized. The result is;

  • Engine reboring takes 25 days.
  • Cost of repair is projected to be Rs.35,000/-

This experience made my check my big car & even that was running dry & I filled coolant & engine oil. Coming monday i’ve to leave my Big car for service too & i don’t have a vehicle to commute.

If any of you can spare me your two wheeler for 2 days that would be of great help to me.

How to cope up with failed love?


Now many people can cope up with failed / strained relationship. When i came to know about suicide of model Viveka Babajee I thought I must openup. I can understand how it pains with my personal experience. How I felt at that time was;

  • Was unable to accept the reality that the relationship is over. Kept thinking that some miracle would happen & the person would revert back.
  • Was always living on the virtual world with the golden memories spent with the person.
  • Wanted to be alone. Not even with close friends.
  • Felt there was no meaning in living.
  • All the better memories and better things on hand became valueless.
  • Thought of ending life also prevailed on the corner of the mind.
  • Brain stopped working.
  • Didn’t feel like going to office, work, sleep, eat etc.

To keep it short I became like a living dead body. All i ask such people is to hold the nerve. There is definitely good in every bad. But we have to live to see all the exciting new things.

After overcoming months of pain. I came across lot of good humans whom i’d have missed if I stayed with the person. I’m happy today that I got a lot of deserving things for the loss I had and sure to get more too.

These are the things I did to overcome the tough phase;

  • I travelled to places where I’ve never been with my ex;
  • Moved to a place which was totally NEW. The place didn’t give me any memories of the past.
  • Created an hobby in Blogging to express my thought. This was one medium which was really helpful.
  • Developed another hobby in photography & vagabond travel.
  • Joined a GYM.

Overall I kept myself engaged fully that I didn’t have time to think about her and over time we get beautiful things what were worth than the loss.

Last thing is we must not forget that the person who had left us has a lot to loose than us. Experience of over coming tough patch of life is a wonderful feel. We must be gifted to get to feel the fain in it. And i’m happy for what has happened to me.

For people who had broken relationships move ahead! experience! and document your experience for others.
