Copy That!

So you sit and watch a zillion movies cause you are a movie buff. I mean myself. With nothing much to ask for entertainment, I end up watching one movie a week at least. That gave me a chance to come up on these few cases

1. Pazhaya pattu pudavai

The heroine is rushing to an exam and finds that there is a strike called by some political party. Hero comes up with an ingenious idea and takes her in a vehicle that is advertising money for old silk sarees. Hero takes over the mic and starts making an impromptu announcement supporting the strike. The advertisement recording takes over but somehow the hero manages to cover up the goof and manages to get the heroine to her destination. This is from the Tamil Movie - Ethir Neechal (2013)

Heroine has an interview and she and her mom arrive in the city to realise that a strike is on. Hero steps in an fetches a taxi for them however the taxi is a advertising one. So the hero improvises and speaks for the strike. The audio of the ad kicks in but the hero manages to out do it and successfully manages to get the heroine to the interview. This is from the Malyalam Movie - Achuvinte Amma (2005)


2. Body in a Jaadi - Asthi ke saath masti

Ashes of a beloved are in a Vase. The narrator takes the story forward. Thinking selfishly, she loots a vase containing the ashes and keeps blackmailing her step-brother with it. Finally she reveals that they have been moved in to another container and are safe.

The narrator and his friend take posession of a vase containing ashes and blackmails a guy for information. Finally they reveal that the same was in a different vase all the while.

The first is from 1998 movie The Opposite of Sex and the inspired version is 3 IDIOTS (2009).

Sure you will see more compilations elsewhere but these were my own observations. Not copied from anywhere else.

The February Roundup!!

February had just 28 days and thank God for that. Which only means the coffers will get re-filled earlier than usual

This was a month of celebrations and hence the depletion of resources. Yes! Celebrations.

Kicking off the events was Parents' Wedding Anniversary!! Did nothing earth shattering but went for a surprise visit. Then felt guilty for not doing much about it and therefore followed it up with a compensatory visit the following week. This trip was to mainly take my mother on a shopping spree and also get something for dad.

Mid-Feb was the World Famous valentine's day and in other news, 15th Feb was my wedding day. Yes, it was indeed. However with husband away and me at parents', it was an odd day. We couldn't even speak on the phone. Then come evening 6, surprise surprise there he is at the door! It turned to be a very pleasant evening and a very quiet and simple 6th Anniversary spent together.

The celebrations continued with Dad's birthday. We had a simple visit to the temple early morning and spent the day together with breakfast, lunch and dinner at home. Of course the new clothes were worn and lots of pictures were taken. Dad finally took his first digi-cam selfie and I was at my 689th.

Also in other news, visited bangalore after almost 2.5 months. Strangely it felt as if nothing had changed, that we had not moved out at all. But the visit was very short and was soon on the way back.

The last part of Feb was where I was exhausting reserves. I wound up with a low cash balance, low bank balance, low call balance and a low battery all on the same evening. It was a strange feeling to be stuck like that. Ofcourse on reaching home everything was back to normal.

The one thing lagging though is my Time Management. My reading and hobbies have taken a back seat and I just wonder when will I get back to them. It was only with great determination that I managed to pen this roundup.

Just praying that I find my RHYTHM by end of March!
