Munni.. Sheila.. Jalebi Bai!!!

Munni badnam hui!!! Yes she earned a huge name after becoming BADNAM. How fortunate! Her mass and class appeal doubled and tripled and box office collections were also ringing high. Though not entirely cause of her but cause of her darling who set the screen on fire.

My name is Sheila!!! Her introduction was pure seduction. Sexy and classy, she wooed everyone with her graceful dance moves and innocent looks. Sheila did not gyrate indecently yet she became the numero uno name on everybody's lips. Sheila and her jawani.

Naam? Jalebi Bai!!! Wonder how many have heard of her. Probably many. She gyrates and makes imaginary Jalebies, for which an entire crowd is shown to be waiting and wanting. She mixed the gaon ki chori look of Munni and the my name is Sheila  style music and lyrics from Sheila. To this she added a lot of her OOOOOMPH and vulgarity (my opinion). End result is that there is an almost copied song with a wannabe that gets shoved-at in the face of the audience.

There are people who like Munni, Sheila and Jalebi Bai equally, whereas I would give a thumbs-down to Miss Jalebi.

Recently got to see a comedy scene from a movie. It was not funny and seemed like some scene. The strong and confident woman in me wants to chide these women, Jalebi Bai and Miss Gold H, for commoditising themselves. No further comments on their choice but just that it irks me to think about it.

Unaku yen ivalavu akarai?? Actually yes, I can just change the channel and ignore.

With all this happening on one side, saw two trailers for upcoming TV shows.

Toddlers and Tiaras - Pathetic. A Beauty pageant for little girls who still talk childish gibberish. They are already competing to look beautiful and throwing diva-like tantrums and commanding star-dom. What will happen to the life of these children????

Cheater - Guess the Original American show behind it's Indian version, Emotional Athyachar. I am ashamed to admit that used to watch it regularly including another good for nothing show, Big Boss. You will realise the uselessness and artifice of these Reality shows the minute you tune in. I would equate it to a Mega Serial, Dumb and Artificial. Can be watched only to laugh at the dumbness at display.

Please don't stop following my blog!!!!! I will write something better soon. Please!! Till then just hum the song "My name is Sheila, Sheila ki jawani, I'm too sexy for you, mein tere haath naa aani, no no no no..."

Tagged....

Was late from work today and rushed to catch the train.. it was crowded and the ladies' compartment was almost full.. as i found a space for me and my legs.. i saw Ms.Fernandez...

Wondering who she is?? Well she is.......... I don't know...

So madam is wearing her office id while in train.. and i a perfect stranger, now her know every detail.. her name and where she works.. Cognizant which is different from Cogzidel where Sangeetha works...

So there is every detail u need about this stranger... and not just her but many of her colleagues were on the train wearing the tags..

Dear Stalkers maybe this information will be useful to u...

i hate wearing such tags... especially when it says "Visitor" cause it feels more of a burden than anything else...

why i would not want to wear it on my neck???

1. it will hide my Gold Chain under it...
2. it won't match the color of my dress....
3. if i want dip tea i would also get dip id...


these id cards are funny.. esp when u have to just display them to the sensor to open the doors for you or to mark your attendance... i have seen enough people Do the DANCE...

not the ones that need delicate movement of the feet and intricate expressions on the face.. but rather the ability to move your shoulders... not up and down... but forward and backward...

to accomplish this dance routine, you will have to practice activating the sensor with your id card in your shirt pocket.. always fun to watch.. sometimes bit irritating to see how lazy the other person is..

all this tags business lead my thoughts away to Rocket Raja style imaginations... well not exactly.. but got me wondering what other tags we use....

like maang mein sindoor... a tag for being married...

shades on shirt collar on your back... a tag for "I am VIJAY fan"

by the time i finished analysing the tags and the science of tagging my station arrived and i had to hop off..

as i walked back home.. i put my TAG on...

My EARPHONES.. tries to be COOL and LOVES MUSIC... :)

The art of conversation

It was lunch hour and was supposed to be like it had been on any other day... my company for lunch was the audit coordinator.. poor fellow.. he gets tossed around between the management and the auditors...

i did not feel like eating a silent meal.. and didnt want to discuss the boring news on tv there.. and so i asked him whether he listens to music... that conversation opener led to a lively and fun lunch all the way..

I love to talk.. its so fun choosing the right words to express urself.. especially when u r having a fun argument..

there was once an English lesson where the narrator explains that u can open a conversation with a stranger by talking about the climate.. these days with sun frying our brains.. wonder who would be pleased to talk abt the climate... but surely they would talk.. the heat, the sweat, Ranjini's de-hydration and the 3 for 2 AC deal...

the intention of the lunch conversation was to spend the minutes of munching in a relaxed manner.. no work related topics.. as it turned out we did not differ much in the music we preferred... wonder how it would have turned out if we had different tastes... even then.. music always makes a good conversational topic.. definitely everyone would have something to say about it...

as lunch was drawing to its natural end.. the topic shifted to food.. a foodie gorging seafood on tv caused the change...that lead me to share a story of my little trip to a sea shore sea food hotel...and so on and so forth till we left the area..

keeping mum is good.. but a little talking is great.. now my audit coordinator is a dost... that makes my work far more easy...

conversation helps..the more natural it is, the more effective.. conversation connects people... conversation is the purpose Language was found...

Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya....

it was a thavam.... not just for the director... but for me too... i waited long to see this movie... and it finally happened nearly after a month n half of its release...


my first intro to the movie was based on its music.... and what to say about it??? AMAZING.... every song grips u and gets u into the feel of the story... without even seeing a single trailer... i could clearly picture every song... the mood of the film..including the kind of visuals that may be included.... and i did rightly figure that Anbil Avan was the climax song.....

not just the movie...but the songs and lyrics were sheer poetry oozing out... LOVE was never portrayed so simply and beautifully.... Aaromale.... when the singer cries out in angst... u cud feel the pain and yet realise that the hero is not angry with his beloved... just feeling helpless....

omana penne... afterall its a malayalee christian.... and wat about the song Vinnaithaandi Varuyvaya????? OMG!!! it is my favourite song from this album.... the picturisation shows the gentle exchange of love between the lovers..so neatly and subtly.... decently... the passion that binds them... the love..

the background score - outstanding... Jessie's been driving me crazy...

i never felt sad that they couldn't get together... the end seemed practical... karthik accepted it.. and decided to be happy that he got to experience TRUE LOVE in his lifetime... Jessie was again being practical in choosing to listen to her parents... it would not be easily acceptable to many lovers... but then thats what she did... and maybe because their love story didn't have the happy ending.. it became an epic.. it conveyed that TRUE LOVE can exist on its own... unselfish and without expectations...

i did have tears in my eyes.. not sad ones... and strangely very happy and peaceful at the end of it...

simbu and trisha have both lived their parts.... finally they have delivered as ACTORS... sinbu has exercised so much restraint on his expressions and fingers... he has finally proven that he is capable of meaningful cinema.... Trisha is now finally an actress and no longer an exhibition doll in movies...

GAUTHAM MENON... has done it again... looking forward to his next... the director with such a unique style and feel good movies... well grounded, plausible stories... characters well defined... music and lyrics chosen aptly for the story.... camera, costumes, lighting... everything done in line with the story and its mood... casting... he has truely laboured to deliver the perfect baby.... CONGRATS!!!

VTV!!!! must have in the film library...

marudhaani...a line that touched me

sakarakatti...the songs of which i am listening to daily now... somehow the song marudhani marudhani has caught my attention...maybe cos its a female solo... afterall wen am singing along i can emote wit it better...

there was one line tat touched me "vazhum payiruku thaneer vendum.... kadhal kadhaikum kaneer vendum"... i dono why and where it comes in the movie... but then... this one line felt so true... the simple meaning of it being tat a small heart breaks n tears are needed for the survival of love..cos love is not full of pleasant stuff n practically we are normal plp who wud in some way hurt the feelings of the other.. more often the feelings of the ones who are closest to us..

we all shed tears in life... but i guess the most meaningful of tears are wen u shed them for someone.. they stand testimonial for ur relationship...

but tears are also weird...u cry seeing movies..for sad endings and even for happy endings... funny are those moments wen u arent really sad.but cry cos everyone around u is crying...group psycology

gals have instantaneous and perennial rivers running from their tear ducts.. the biggest weapon of woman-kind..and the greatest weakness of man-kind..

back to the song...marudhani vizhil yen..adi podi dipaali... aagayam man meedhu sayaadhu....
