There is no such thing as love.....

It's 3 o clock. Wednesday prime time. I am sitting in my office comfortably though its terribly hot..I have a non stop talking kid next to me....using internet for free form the office below( wi-fi rules)...and i am bored...no great transfers(epl, serie a or la liga).....no hot news in the film world....bad times...

Well this year has had a lot of bad movies...let me start with bollywood....I have only seen two films-delhi 6 and luck by chance. I went for the premier show of delhi 6 and boy did i regret it...agreed that the scenes were shot beautifully but never expected such a lame movie from the maker of rang de basanthi....rahman's music was refreshing and brilliant and i personally think it was better than slumdog millionaire....(oh btw kudos to Mr A.R Rahman for winning 2 oscars and doing the country proud...nothing short of sheer brilliance)....in the end i think it was a waste of three hours and i was exactly like massakali in the movie not able to fly....Luck by chance is a nice movie....enjoyed it well but kinda thought it was slow and could have gone faster...was fantastic to see the whole of bollywood on screen in one movie(though each for two mins only)....

Kollywood-what can i say.....highly disappointing stuff... Villu was as pathetic a remake of soldier as aegan was of main hoon na...i think enough was said about the movie in various places...naan kadavul...typical bala movie...but was really comical to see arya gettin hardly 30-45 mins of screen space(he s worked on this movie for nearly 3 years).....bala has overused the number of disabled people...and if more on the life of arya s character was shown it would have been brilliant....must appreciate pooja's efforts.....nice performance....and last but not the least the one man army-Mr Sundar C....two back to back releases-thee and perumal...comparing the two i can say perumal was better.....thee was nothing short of waste of time....one contact lens can make a disguise so perfect no one identifies him....seriously whats happening to tamil cinema.....and i just finished watching perumal...too much of heroism for no reason....vivek's so called comedy track was pathetic...overall i believe its bad days for tamil cinema....

at this point in time i would also like to clarify that i dont think bad of madhavan....i don't know why but many of my friends have come to that opinion after reading my previous posts....he s a good actor with bad scripts.....and due to lack of proper full scale movies i feel he s going down....he was brilliant in run, minnale and even in lesa lesa...hopefully he brings some life into tamil cinema with yaavarum nalum...will give its review in a few days

Hi all.....its been some time since i posted anything here....2009 so far has already had a lot of ups and downs....and at the end of the eventful two month si am not exactly thrilled abt it....lets all hope it goes better than the way its been for the past two months...

Well the aftermath of the biggest terrorist attack the country has witnessed seem to be worse....Some comments from our so called leaders and my views on the same ....

1)BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has said.

"Some women wearing lipstick and powder have taken to streets in Mumbai and are abusing politicians spreading dissatisfaction against democracy. This is what terrorists are doing in Jammu and Kashmir,"

WTF is wrong with him....the whole concept of whether women wear lipstick or powder does not matter in such a situation....it just shows that no matter how your lifestyle is, what class you belong to we all unite in the face of terror against india...So I believe something is seriously wrong with Mr Naqvi who calls these women his sisters(oh yeah thats the icing on the cake....he specifically mentioned yeh humare behane mahilayen...)and had to bring out such comments at such an important time...


2)"If it had not been (Major) Sandeep's house, not even a dog would have glanced that way."

This was how Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan heaped scorn on Monday on the family of NSG Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan slain in the Mumbai terror attack during commando operations, igniting a controversy after smarting under the snub from the father of the angry officer's when he went to Bangalore to offer his condolences.

Mr K Unnikrishnan did not allow the Kerala CM into his house after what he perceived the CM's visit to be a political stunt(which i strongly believe) and the kerala cm had to resort to use of such pathetic statements....if the Kerala CM on showing his solidarity then he must have been present during the funeral and not so late...He deserves the treatment...I cannot even begin to imagine the grief that Mr K Unnikrishnan must be going through....I am sorry for the loss of Major Sandeep and hope that no other family has to go through all this...



3)“In a big city such as Mumbai, incidents likes these keep happening,” he told the media soon after Mumbai's 60-hour-long terror attack ended on November 29.

This was Mr RR Patil's statement of the Mumbai attacks which he terms as a minor incident...I fail to understand if this is a minor incident then what is a major one...I dont understand in how many "big cities" such things is a routine affair...and this person is supposed to be our leader...



The above are some of the most comic comments i must say and to top it all The Mahrashtra CM oops sorry former Maharashtra CM Vilasrao Deshmukh Takes Ram Gopal Varma on a tour of the attack...I know a film will be comin out soon but so soon with the full co-operation of the government when they could be doing something constructive is something one must question....

Hats off to Mrs Hemant Karkare who has actually denied Mr Modi's offer of Rs One Crore.....Seriously one cannot be so lost in politics as Mr Modi is when he actually turned the scene of terror into his own political playground....Our Heroes dont need money....They need the respect they actually deserve.....

This is not the cry of Mumbai, Its the cry of a billion people....Our fates rest in the hands of the above mentioned people....They represent our country, represent what we are, our ideas etc They decide our fate, take such strategically important decisions...I think the time has come for us to take a decision...I am not talking about the elections... Next BJP may come to power and we might have another such minor incident as Mr Patil puts it....We have to make a decision on where we stand...As the old saying goes...UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL...

Its 12.30 in the nite an dthe whole of mumbai is in a shock...Terrrorists are taking over random parts of the city....This is my first prayer in years and its is for my unknown brothers and sisters in mumbai...Hope u stay safe...

My name is Sharat and I am THE CINEMA ADDICT......the wonderful 3 hour entertainer(tamil cinema)....I am just back from a movie called Vaaranam Aayiram loosely translated as the strength of a thousand elephants.....Well i went for the seond time only because i said i will go with my brother who has been troubling me to get tickets since the film released and ended up doing it himself...the first time i watched it in a local theatre and that too was on the first day....well you can imagine the crowd and the film created huge expectations with its promos and to say the truth i was more than disappointed...the film was a flat 3 hours and there were too many useless boring scenes....so you must imagine how brave i must be to shell out another 150 bucks and go for the second time....well this time around things were different....i felt more than good about the film....20 minutes of the movie was edited due to popular request i believe...now it was in a very decent theatre a superbrand they say....the crowd was good....

This leads me to wonder did my opinion change because of the environment or was it because of the editing through which i felt more connected to the film....and i gotta say its a mix of both...Now i realise (more than ever) that a movie must be watched in tune to its environment....you can watch a boring masala movie with anyone in any theatre and still say its the best one of the decade, the hero was brilliant, blah blah blah.....but off late i have become more of the luxury type men....one who wants to watch a good movie with push back seating, in a air- conditioned theatre with good popcorn and pepsi.....however local i try to be i cannot change the way i was meant to be...well i am writing this post because i feel happy that i watched a good movie which made me smile and though it tried hard could not make me cry....i liked the actors (loved sameera reddy....[:-*]), loved the tone of the movie,the music etc....and now with this elated feeling i am signing off...

P.S...one more thing abt the movie...its one worth watching or to put it in better words a must-watch movie....

Today was one of the most depressing days in recent months....i dont know whether it is because dada has called it quits or because of the fact that i have been cooped up in the house for the past two days....and the worst part is i have stopped caring abt such stuffs....

Just to make it official i did like put it in writing the fact that i hate exams, hate work....i just want to do nothin....i dont want to have any exam pressure or worry abt work or constantly have somethin on my mind....i miss the 2 o clock sun tv movies....i miss my naps at odd times during the day....i miss hanging out with my frens.....and most of all i miss being a 19 year old.....and so i should just end by sayin my name is sharat chandrasekhar and this is my life.....
