The serious malayalee and a light movie.Perfect retardation!




Aanandam a movie portraying the story of a college tour, released in 2016 is not the talk of this write-up. But yes it is! 

Being a lazy movie buff I often get into this habit of prolonged movie watching spree. And that's how I got to see this movie a few days back on Television. During the time of it's release, I still remember my "over-hyped" movie critic friends tagging it as an extremely "Panjara" movie. One of the DQ(aka Dulquer Salman)fan who was all praise for a movie like "Bangalore Days" seemed very disappointed by this effort. In fact, I thought his gang in college would like this movie the most. Given, the fact that they were the No.1 "Panjara" team in my class and the first thing I was reminded of was their gang, after watching the film. Now that college is over this discussion is irrelevant. Sorry "Panjara" team!

Coming back to the movie. Honestly speaking(Oh! Forgot the fact that I was writing), I wished If my college tour had a tinge of "Aanandam", after watching it. "A-light-romantic-tour-Breezer",is the phrase I prefer to wrap it with. But why was it not glorified among the target audience, mainly college students. I think I know the answer. 

We are malayalees! We find pleasure in pointing out imperfections and we are damn serious; except while flirting. We are romantic at heart but hates anything explicit. We value friendship a lot but, we corner the weaker of our friends like wolves and bully them. We are incredibly possessive and mischievously jealous. We can never be coward but can easily slip out of any situation.

Hence it is proved that we cannot accept "Aanandam".In case if you didn't know, our tour was better!

PS: My views are entirely based on my friend circle and this blog is weakly based on the above mentioned circle.

Prologue

  Silence, pin-drop silence! I knew someone had to initiate a conversation, otherwise the situation was not heading for a “bright future”. The sound of cool air pumped out from the AC vents and some aggressive gear-shifts made by Ravi’s father, that was the only audible thing until then. The old Hyundai Santro had a really nice AC that, even I was shivering at the back.             “Lucky me! Just missed! Otherwise I’d have been taken by them too. Man, you are having a really bad time.” At last I broke the silence, by delivering the carefully made out sentence which I had been thinking since we got into the car from Police Station.             “Exactly! What worse could happen? We were just discussing things at the shop next to the college entrance. Seemed like it was all planned. Somebody sold us out.” Ravi replied with a gust of anger and disappointment.              “Like it’...

The Indian Judicial System-How can you fly without wings?

Let  me present to you an analogue to the Indian Judicial System. Once upon a time exactly 64 years ago , during one of the celebrated hours of the day a child was born.Sonny was actually born on  26th January 1950.The same day his jubilant dad bought him a gift ,a 1950 model car. Even though the gift was brought in with a prologue that it would commemorate his son's birthday,it was actually meant for the whole family. The car was treated to be a priceless possession and was flaunted every time, given an opportunity. Things went fine,since Sonny's 10th birthday. They had their occasional drives,rides and party.Until that particular day,no one had actually realized about their ailing member in the family.Yes,the car.It was showing glimpses of ageing. All of a sudden it had started producing noises as creepy and irritating ,at times even overtaking little Sonny's screams.But his da...
