WordPress on android

Just downloaded WordPress on my Samsung Galaxy S2. Now does this mean I will blog more often. In this case, maybe I should just say restart blogging.

Avan, Ivan and everything in between

Posted in Films, Tamil, Uncategorized on July 6, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

I knew I had to watch Avan Ivan. Despite the reviews. Despite reluctant companions who cribbed any film that was not booked out on a weekend was bound to be a disaster. I knew a Bala film could not be bad, however violent or foul-mouthed it might turn out to be. And yet, I was [...]

Google Plus-sed!

Posted in Uncategorized on July 4, 2011 | 6 Comments »

And thus, with Plus, Google owns us whole. That is, of course, only one way at looking at Google’s labour of over one year. So for the one year the Google guys sat writing codes, eager to make as big an impact in the social media sector as it has in the mail, search, photo [...]

Raavan – In defence of the saint and sinner

Posted in Film, Uncategorized, Vikram on June 21, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Raavan is a good movie. Not great. But good, with reservations. Maniratnam is a good filmmaker. Very good, in fact. He has potential to make that perfect movie, but it certainly is not Raavan. Ideally, I’d like to watch Raavanan (Tamil) too before I write a review, but I’m going to give it some time [...]

Essaying a career

Posted in Uncategorized on June 16, 2010 | 6 Comments »

I owe my career to a school essay. When I was in the sixth standard, I’d have been about 12 years then, I made a decision that was to have a far-reaching impact on my life. I mean, no one takes a 12-year-old that seriously, and even less, take a school essay. However, as these [...]

The notion of peace

word climbs on word, in a spiral, chasing up: each fighting to be the first to be fired peacefully against violence.

Two movies: One take

Posted in Uncategorized on April 15, 2010 | 8 Comments »

This year’s Oscars were about slumdogs too, just like the last year. Though I suppose they can’t really keep naming films “slumdog” year after year, can they? Watched Precious and The Blind Side nearly running on these past weeks, and you must be blind not to see where the two converge, and of course, diverge. [...]

OMG, Change can be disastrous.

Posted in Uncategorized on February 23, 2010 | 2 Comments »

OMG! Change can be disastrous. Calamitous, even. I mean what about the monotonous routine we all set our lives into? The patterns we respond like the Pavlovian dog to? The unerring bell that seems to add much morassic meaning to life? There is a point to the purposefull purposelessness of the assembly line after all. [...]

Destroying the Buzz

Posted in Uncategorized on February 17, 2010 | 1 Comment »

It hasn’t been quite my creative phase yet, these past few weeks. First I tried to cheat with some arbit pics; and then I thought I’d cheat with some of my Twitter stuff (the #sss series) and got too busy or bored with that. And, then there was the Buzz. By Buzz, I don’t only [...]

We are like this only!

It happens only in India! And another… If you do click pics that, in some ways, capture the essential Indian-ness, you know, I could host them here. If they are net-viable pixels and carry a brief note…Mail ramya_kannan@yahoo.com Of course, being the Lord and Master of this blog, my decision on whether to use or [...]
