Finally! A time to lay your back bone on the bed...
Vacation time. My coaching classes have been over now. It's enough - One month of consistent coaching with just a single day holiday every week!And now, since its over, I'm happy. Well, those people never left me enjoy... A TEST? Oh my god! On all the three subjects? For just three hours? I curse that all those people should be blown up by tsunami. Well, I have completed my class and my exam... Oh my god.... It was tough and I have studied nothing. I badly want West Mambalam center 'cause this place is where the director, K.K.Anand trains us. So, I'm praying that I get a seat in that branch. But, I have lost my hope. Because of my applaud-able performances in my class and my test, I have guaranteed myself that I will get Adyar branch. Lets see... I'm leaving it to God's hands for now... By the way, I'm not so cared about it right now, because I will not enjoy these holidays at least...

MNIK – OUT OF EPIGLOTTIS
'My name is Khan. Not Kan. It's Khan. Khan. From the epiglottis.' Capturing line. Well, SRK has been replaced by Aamir in my favorite actor list. Well, I am longing to see the movie once again.
Autism affected Rizvan Khan is the first child of his mother. His brother, being agitated to be with Rizvan, leaves America. Well, Rizvan might be mentally affected, but he is really intelligent. His mother gets expired due to some disease, from where he takes his oath to go to America.
He works in his brother's company. He sees Mandira and says he wants to get married with her. Mandira is a women living lonely with her son because her husband eloped with a girl to Australia. She gives Rizvan a challenge and marries him when he wins it. Life went smooth with Rizvan for her and her son.
It was this time when the 9/11 attacks occurred. Everyone in San Francisco blamed and tortured people belonging to Islamism. This is the time where a big upheaval took place in their life. Their son died. Mandira, suspects Rizvan Khan to be the main reason because their son turned to Islam from Hindu only after Mandira marries Rizvan. She thinks her son could be dead only because he was a Muslim boy. So she yells at Rizvan to leave her soon.
While the first half is smooth, the second half reveals the reason why Rizvan wants to meet the President of United States. Almost at the end, Mandira comes to know that her son was killed by the seniors who ragged him in the football court. She returns back to Rizvan where he gets assassinated before her eyes. Fortunately he recovered from the injury. But still he says he wants to meet the President.
Second half is very poignant where Karan carries you to their feelings. You must applaud for Shah Rukh and Kajol for their very, what you call a, natural acting. The cinematography is very brilliant and of course, music by ShankarEshanLoy carries you inside the movie. With songs like 'Tere Naina' and 'Tere Sajna', they have proved themselves.
Genre: Romance
Time: 2.30 hrs
Reason to watch: 1) SRK and Kajol's acting after a long time.
2) Argument between Shiv Sena and SRK
Storyline: Boy meets a girl, marries her and leaves her 'cause she thinks it is him who caused his son's death
+ Points: lovely story, awesome acting, good music, worth applauding direction, location.'
- Points: exaggeration in some places.

Give a way for Harry Potter.
Man, you must read the series. I will ensure you that you will be tethered to the story till you finish it. And even after you are done with it, your mind ever will plead for another read.
I am excited today because I finished all the Harry Potter series. For reviews, see this:
1. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone : J.K.Rowling explains who the boy is and how Harry engages himself in the job of discovering the philosopher's stone. He meets his nemesis-Voldemort for the first time and gets entwined with adventure from the very beginning.
2.Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets : Ginny, Ron's sister, gets a diary that belonged to Tom Riddle and puts herself into it. Later on , she realizes that it is safe no more having the diary with her and disposes it off. Harry gets it and gains an introductory knowledge of Tom. When he finds his friends shocked and stunned on seeing something, he guesses, whether it could be by seeing something that was hidden in Chamber of Secrets. Of course, Harry would never rest until he finds information on it and goes off for the adventure. Finally, the story bangs to an end that Harry was a brave and chivalrous(somewhat) boy.
3.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban : Harry who is an orphan, finds out the reason behinds his parents death. We all know, it is Lord Voldemort who murdered them, but here reveals the truth on who betrayed them. The primary suspect is Sirius, but the final one is different. As a matter of fact, Harry gets to know that Sirius was after all his God father. Mixed with dilemma, Rowling keeps you to tied up to the story with lot of feelings till the last page.
4.Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire : Though it was forbidden for any underage wizard to enter the Tri-wizard Tournament, Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire indicating him to participate in the game. Harry faces great adventure here and lives up till the final game. The truth on who put Harry's name in the Goblet, as always, gets revealed in the end. Reading the book takes you to another adventurous world. The only good advantage is that you don't have to face it.You just have to see it how Harry is facing it.
5.Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix : Continuous searches of Harry Potter by Voldemort and his men(Death Eaters), made people realise that Harry must be taken to the Order of Phoenix(an organization than deals with keeping Voldemort away). However, he goes back to school and faces tremendous challenges at the end. However, I wasn't pleased with the first half, but that doesn't mean it is boring at all. The ending was superb.
6.Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince : I have no additional point to put forth. So please refer to the review posted previously. The past of Voldemort and all the information on Horcruxes(Voldemort's lives) forms the story. Past is certainly a good one to read.
7.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : At seventeen, Harry loses the protection on him. He faces the desire to meet and assassinate Voldemort. He gets a lot of messages about Voldemort who can control Harry's dreams. Ron and Hermoine stay with Harry in a forest and help him to succeed in his plan. While there is one side, crying for safety and another for killing Voldemort, Harry faces a complexion and confusion. Finally, he strongly believes in destroying the Horcruxes that would enable Harry to kill his enemy off easily. But the problem is that Harry faces a problem of killing himself because he is a Horcrux. So he dies, but Harry kills Voldemort after that. Confusing? Well you need to read the book. The twist at the end which reveals the true side of Snape, is awesome. God! Never believed that J.K.Rowling can carry you to the next step without shading off the adventure.
My Rating:
Well, though I loved every book of Harry Potter, I loved some books more than others. My rating is completely biased. So kindly don't take that in mind.
Happy Reading!

Coming To The Restaurant?
'My God! Pranav is taking so much time for him to come here. Damn him.' says Ranjay who is standing next to me at the bus stop.
'Why, are you busy with something? I spoke. 'Can't you wait for some time?'
'Remember, this is what you said a half an hour ago - "some time". So, some time means an hour or so?'
27G came by the way, Finally, Ranjan relished. From the bus jumped a short, shabby haired, blunt nosed fellow.
'Hey Sanjay! Hope you are fine.' cried Pranav's voice. 'I'm so sorry for that time delay. Gotta climb two buses you know!'
Knowing Ranjan was about to counter that, I questioned, 'Fine, where can we go?'
'Oh well. By the way,' he was opening his bag pack and pulled out a small box covered with wrappers and a card stuck on it, 'Happy Birthday dude!' he said.
'Oh well, thanks mate. Where shall we go?'
'What about McPlottis?' Ranjan encountered. 'I just went a week before and it was so good. Reasonably priced as well.'
'What do you think Pranav, I asked, brimming with enjoyment and happiness.
Pranav understood us. Just a small nod was enough to make him and his friends happy! - However, it was my treat.

'Paneer Frankie, Chicken tikka and Tom-yam soup would do for me.'. Ranjan was the first one to pick the menu card.We all agreed to the same. We ordered them to the waiter. The notice board opposite us clearly noted that we all had to wait for twenty minutes.
Meanwhile Pranav picked up something from his bag. And that turned out to be a rotten bread enveloped with cling film.
'Look at this. I am going to the lab tonight and and examine this.' whispered the bio-tech master who sat with us for lunch. Yes, it is Pranav. It seems awful when someone takes rotten breads for observing in labs.
'Labs aren't opened on Sundays.' said Ranjan.
'Well, I think I have to do it tomorrow then.' disappointingly spoke, Pranav.
I smiled at him. The waiter served us the dishes and we kept ourselves busy and occupied with munching and tasting them. As a matter of fact, Ranjan seemed correct. The prices were less. Thank God, I can save some money, then.
After we washed our hands, the waiter kept the bill book on the table. Not bad. It had cost Rs 275 for all of us. So, I opened my purse and ...
'What the hell! I just have ten rupees! I cried quietly. No one else heard me except my friends. They had no money either.
'Bloody shit! Gonna get screwed up.' Ranjan swore burning with tension. Pranav spoke nothing but hung his head down. I didn't understand what was that feeling supposed to be.
If you had seen cartoons, you would have discovered bulbs glowing on top of of the heads when they get some ideas.
Same thing happened here. I saw Pranav's rotten bread and Ranjan's soup bowl with soup filled half the cup as he couldn't drink anymore.
I called the manager and showed him the soup. On sniffing it, he was half dizzy. The mixture of the soup and the rotten bread worked well.
'Sorry sir, It it our mistake. Please don't call out loud and drive away our customers. Maybe we can offer you a free meal today...'

Eeram - A Review
Ah! My blog has been flooded by lots of reviews! But this one is going to be the best one, I think.
Just now, finished seeing the film. The film is a suspense thriller then kills you till the end of the movie. Mixed with romance, this film is surely a melodrama.
The story begins with the death of Ramya, Vasu's lover who is now married to Bala. Vasu, being a police inspector, investigates the crime. After Ramya's death, many residents of the flat get murdered. People have no idea on the reason behind it. At the end of the first half of the story, Vasu suspects a person, and it becomes that person who is the culprit. Audiences might think there would be nothing in the second half as they culprit is found so early, but you are wrong. The whole of the story which includes Ramya's death and the death of others is portrayed only in the second half.
About the technical matters, direction by Arivazhagan is awesome. Everything looks real and scary. I think that is more than enough. In addition to that, the cast is superb! Even though the people are not so famous, they did a fantastic job. The cast was completely appropriate. The BGM was splendid! Very apt for a suspense thr(k)iller. Have any guesses why this film has been named 'Eeram'? Well its because the killer uses water as a medium to kill others.
Well not satisfied with the information right? Want to know more? Watch the movie then.

3 Idiots - A Review
Just a couple of weeks before, I saw this film. Wah! How can I describe this movie? This movie was simply superb.
Its about how three people get into a college with different family backgrounds and become close friends. Farhan is from a middle class family who wants to become a wildlife photographer(but unfortunately, he is forced to study engineering by his parents) while Raju's family is very poor and his character resembles Alok's(if you have read Five Point Someone). Rancho is a from a very rich family and is friendlier towards the other two. He believes that learning is something where you experience a lot and enjoy, not something done for becoming whatever the father says. Rancho falls in love with Pia, his prof's daughter. Exciting situations and unhappy moments circle them all the time. Wish I would like to go to a good college and enjoy my life. For further details about the movie, just watch it. Keep chanting the only mantra: Aal Iz Well(not all, it's aal).
