Vannila Thennila Vadai Poonila from Kaaki Chattai


  • I have been rather busy. Or acting, so. No. I take that back. I have been truly busy. My vacation is less than a month away. Yippie. Yippie. Yippie. (I am shouting my lungs and heart, out, okay?)
  • Naan Ee is such a great movie. I have watched it more than 10 times now - and am yet to get tired of it. A wholesome family entertainer - definitely. 
  • I am down with a mild sore throat. My esophagus is as dry as the Atacama Dessert. Yes. I am drinking plenty of warm water. Yes. I am drinking the H20 like a fish. But, the sore is not budging. 
  • Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It is going to be ONLY four days of work. Yes - I am smiling. Long live Malaysia. Long live the plenty holidays you give us - your citizens. 
  • It gets dark, earlier now. Here, in Malaysia, at least. 7.30pm seems like 8.30pm. That dark. But, the days appear to move slow. Or is it, just me ?
  • The coming weekends are going to hectic. Mum dearest will be starting on her Deepavali cookies, and yours truly, is SUPPOSED to help, WILLINGLY. I do, most of the time, actually. But sometimes - argh, let me not get into it. You know..... 
  • My Deepavali shopping is practically DONE. I do not intend to further burn a hole in my pocket. That will be done - in my India. Shopping in Malaysia has ceased.
  • Illayaraja is a WONDER. No one can ever replace that unique voice of his. He colours my auditory range - with the rainbow. I can listen to him ALL DAY LONG. How I so wish he would have a concert in India, while I am there.
  • My favourite colour is STILL yellow. Whatever, hue. As long as it has any shade of yellow, I am fine. It is the colour of the sun. The colour of optimism. Agree ?
  • I have become a crazed fan of the song "Yenodu Vaa Vaa" in the soon to be released "Neethane Yen Ponvasantham". Lyrics are just - so me. And, no brownie points for guessing. IR is the MD. How can I not get mad about it, huh ?
  • That's all for today. Happy Days ahead. God Bless.....

En Uyire from Maalai Pozhudhin Mayakathiley


  • Hello. I am back. Last week was little hectic. Could not post. Apologies.
  • It is 2.45pm right here, in Sungai Petani, Kedah, Malaysia - right now. The day is beautiful - thanks to a 45 minute drizzle, an hour ago. Weather is awesome. Clouds are ample. Breeze is generous.
  • Mum is making eggless jam tarts. Mum is life time vegetarian. Me - until October 16th, the day the Tamil calendar month of Puratasi ends. Need to go help her, once this post is done.
  • Watched Maalai Pozhudhin Mayakathiley last night. 99.9% of regular Indian audience would have found it a bore. It was, slow moving, indeed. Abstract. I would be in the 0.01% category. Found it worthy. Lots of moralism and casual preaching in dialogues. Nice, it what I would describe it, as. Loved the last scenes.....
  • I have a new love. Don't pop your eyes. It's isn't with someone. It is with something. Sarees. The Indian traditional costume for women. Aren't they lovely ??? So, my India trip soon, is bound to burn my pocket. Ufff....
  • I miss my father. Still do. Always will. I must have been super lucky and blessed to have such a great one. Miss you, Pa. Lots. Lots. Lots.
  • 30++ days more to go. I am actually gigantically excited, but playing cool. Really. Oh, November - cannot you make it fast ???
  • Hmmm.... I am lost. On what else to write. In thinking mode, at the moment.
  • May the week ahead be happy and pleasant and blessed - for all of us. Prudence does not play a part in love and compassion. Right ? 
  • Take care. God Bless. See you all around
