Can i please use the loo plzzzzzzzzzzzzz veri urgent.....................how many might muster courage in asking our guests or even places we visit when in need. Most do now. But most (not sure if there would be a protest for 'MOST') merrily wet the nearest and publicly visible wall-thicket-bush-rubbish dump (which many in India can spot easily) and corporation playgrounds. When i say most i do not include my close friends because i know my friends, but often near my home or on way to work i find well dressed especially with a silk tie around their neck struggling to negotiate a tie from getting wet rather than my glaring eyes. The man is in no mood to resist his urge. Most Tamil speakers conveniently mutter ' Aatarathe adakalaam anaal avasarathe adka mudiyaathu '. And after saying this legally approved phrase, the peeing continues and that too with a gang of peers with sound of approval and the guy who questions them is a pariah for that m

Tryst with Western Ghats- Karnataka Story

Image
Western ghats are the lifeline for Monsoons, bringing rain to water starved plains, feeding many wild forest reserves, agriculture, plantations and rural and urban settlements. This year(2018) we chose Madikeri to spend close to nature and avoid going to coffee plantations and artificially infused wildlife surrounding the plantations. yet we still could not avoid the coffee plantations for want of good private space to spend quality time. we chose a location close to nature and it was located a good distance away from the bustling town hence the need to wait patiently for transport to ferry us to the location. the steep slopes and typical hill houses added charm to the location. the place we were staying was called Kabbinakad. This story is meant to talk through images which we captured throughout our journey. We explored less trampled paths and reached few heights which got us to admire the nature without much humans milling around. We start our journey from Chennai by train

Jil Jung Juk- 3J's to good entertainer

Wow i am at last feeling comfortable watching Siddharth's acting. What do you mean, he's the darling of many lovely damsels, young oozing females of Indian ethos, and envy of many a talented actors-male. Siddharth's stereotype kind of angry frustrated looks of Boyz/ Bommarillu/ to other movies has made me feel move away from this talent hotbed's exploits. The KaviyaThalaivan/ Jigarthanda has pulled me back to sit up and see his metamorphosis. Sure its bit hard on a actor with prodigious talent and out of box thinking in an industry hell bent on formulaic offerings. The carefree attitude to try new things seems to synchronize with the Tamil movie audience too. The title has hit a jackpot and character introduction too is offbeat, but one thing is 3 main characters must have been balanced well Siddharth is all over the movie, other 2 characters get a minor part to play in a plot which could have been more involving with other 2 protagonists.  Problem with s
