It has been a long time... some stray thoughts of madness..
Jab we met
is my movie of the year. It is such a beautiful movie that I thought that the director wanted to make a movie but instead without realizing started enjoying himself. I keep reminding myself that I should always enjoy my work and not drag my feet through the day. Nowadays, I have stopped reminding myself that, it has become a way of life.
Shivaji... absolute fab of a movie The movie.. totally without any connection, says a lot about tamilians.
Shankars, subbus, and venkats or vichus with a mind of their own, tend to be loud amongst the crowd of north indians or goras to make their presence felt.
Their humors are never subtle, it is always meant to make a person laugh heartily. If we like a place, it is the most Wonderful place, if we like a foodl, it is fantastic; if we like our boss, he is the best da; if he is isnt then he is the lousiest da. It is always their point of VIEW
But then we are like that only. I always wondered why this compulsion to live and be in a way which is politically correct in others point of view.
Shankars, subbus and venkats are a minority amongst the tamilians.. some 5 odd per cent. Rest 90 per cent are the politically correct ' Aiyam Iyer'... screaming out to the world that we have brains to...
type out correctly a two page letter without any mistake, which now is
write out a program without any mistake...
make a proclamation that ... In India the way to do business is..........

make a solomn declaration that only he or she can manage the department if given the Charge..
some 10 or 15 years ago, my biggest fear or rather hope that i dont get a south indian boss, who has started out as a steno but has worked (?) his to way to the top. Top means some 223 odd guys between him and the guy who has put in the money. By top, what I mean is vishwanathan or narayanan has conveyed to the society and his relatives that HE is The Head of the Dept., nothing moves without his knowledge in his company. Actually, a nice man to report to... but kithna lecture, kithna gyan, bardash nahi kar sakta..
Shivaji is a nice movie for we south indians. Such movies fight the demons for us, which we conveniently do not wish to....
Do you know our film makers have more IQ than any leading industrialist listed in NYSE..
Jaane tu..... people in 40s liked it because, they wanted to live like that.... but could never. When it comes to their kids, No way, they should focus on their studies.......
