Destiny...

A friend of mine was talking about this to me ...
There were times when I had wondered why it happened to me, when I have thought ‘how I wish I was there ..’ and moments when I look up to the sky and ask ‘Why am I here ..’ those were the times when there were no answers to any of my questions. But now, its more different and nice. Its different because time has healed everything and its nice because, there is no better way the questions could have been answered. Strange, that destiny brought us together, made us friends and then kept us distances apart, yet near at heart. Little did I realize at that time that there is something that’s going to change my life in a profound way. There have been many boisterous, exciting, exhilarating tuesdays through all these years, but none as unanticipated and overwhelming as this day, the day I read the email. The email that changed my life. The email that showed me what my future was. I was dumbstruck reading the mail and was struggling to keep my foot grounded. I paused that moment, clenched my fist, gave my heart a thump, looked heavenwards and reeled away a flying kiss as a saluting gesture celebrating this strange destiny. It is in his moments of decision that our destiny was shaped. A heart warming moment that will remain evergreen in my heart and bloom everyday in happiness. I thank the destiny for that moment and thank god for gifting me love...
And thats when i realised destiny surely has something in store for everyone. Just that each of us meet that at different times. She met her destiny now ..

Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya...

With the excitement of Vinnaithaandi varuvaya yet to settle down, its perhaps not a
bad idea to write about the film. Gautham Vasudev Menon’s latest flick VTV has created a wave among the people as always with any movie of his. It’s a common man’s story where Karthik, the hero aspires to become a film maker, unexpectedly falls in love with Jessie, a mallu christian girl and is ready to sacrifice. It s all about what he sacrifices at the end.
Absolutely simple in content and substance, the film appeals to the refined sensibilities of our next generation. The director has consciously tried not to divulge too much of these sensitive feelings and happenings that has close connection to reality that’s been portrayed in a refreshing manner. The film is surely a visual treat devoid of harsh melodrama, slapstick comedy and violence that is very commonly seen in contemporary tamil movies.
Not to forget the cast, both Simbu and Trisha has lent a lot of credibility to their role which the situations demand in a more spontaneous way, so much of effort involved. They have lived as Karthik and Jessie in the movie, portraying the practicalities of life. As a young boy, Karthik is ready to do anything to make the relationship work. So much so like the current day young men who are head over heels in love in a girl. But Jessie is indecisive about making such emotional decisions and she is torn between her love for Karthik and reliability to her family. Typically like the girls of today. So much confused she is that Karthik is unable to understand her actions and words. One which men always complain J. What we understand out of all this that the world of a man and a woman are so much different that it really needs a lot of effort to connect oneself to the other world. Neither of them attempt to put themselves in the others shoes to find a solution for the situation. If one does that, things become so easy. Jessie and Karthik have surely made the people of the current generation think about all this. Hats off to both of them for their awesome performance.
Manoj’s camera and the aesthetic colour sense is top class, one of the kind. Not to our surprise, the background score by ARRehman is a honeyed symphony which accentuates the romantic feel of the film. The director has crafted a movie in such a way that will stay in our hearts for a very long time. The beautiful heartrending tale of love with memorable characters exemplary in nature makes the movie stand out unique among the other mindless movies of the time.
