Chekka Sivantha Vaanam - Yes !

Hello everyone.

July is about to bid goodbye. Here I am. As always. Trying to beat a monthly deadline. I am an ace at procrastination. Yes, I am. On days, when I am way too lazy, I gift myself extra extra time to idle away.

I watched Chekka Sivantha Vaanam today. Finally. I was glued and didn't leave the sofa even during advertisement. It was an awesome one. Mani Sir must be a perfectionist. This movie is an example. The flow doesn't stop. It is fast paced, interesting and mind blowing. His other revolutionary gangster movie, after Nayagan, I feel.

I have heard of the BGM before. But, listening to it, today, in the movie, was a whole new experience. How apt for each situation. Fit in so well.

A friend of mine - Arti, has been asking me to watch Gully Boy. A Hindi movie. I don't understand the language. I like good movies, though. I have yet to but I promise I will. She has such great taste and we share the same thoughts on many movies.

Super Singer 7. As Benny Dayal said, it is the very best of seasons. I root without fail for Mukkuthi Murugan or Mumu and the ravishing Puniya. What great talents. And there is also, Sam Vishal for his exotic coarse voice. And Roshini. Did you see her performance during the Devotional Round ? I had goosebumps and tears. It was astounding.

The link for Roshni's performance is here - https://youtu.be/T_vwxKNFJ3w

Bigg Boss 3, Tamil ? I don't follow. I have watched a couple of times. Recently watched only to see what Kamal had to say regarding false accusations and character assassination of the very respected Cheran. I felt what that Meera did was utmostly wrong. To not react at that moment but to dwell on it later and create a ruckus out of it is so inhumane. My opinion.

It's hot here on most days. My cousins in Tamil Nadu said it rains every few days there. And the climate is awesome for a vacation. Yes, we are in the midst of planning. Our tour operator, Indian Panorama suggested Vijayawada, Vizhag or Karnataka, since we have hardly ventured there. Planning still. Will update once finalized.

I want to watch Aadai. The beautiful Amala Paul. She is a great actress. It's not playing anywhere near my hometown. I heard all the noise regarding her nudity. I wish people will stop being hypocrites. I did see the trailer. Didn't see anything vulgar in it. Some Tamil movies project immense vulgarity despite the heroines clothed. Some movies, you can't sit and watch with kids around. But did Aadai do that ? Even the trailer is bizarre. Just that. Not vulgar. But people.... Argh...

Kadaram Kondan is a banned in my country. Do not ask me why. Just like Super Deluxe, this too. I have no comments. But as told in my earlier paragraph, people are just hypocrites. I have no further comments.

I love the song in Kadaram Kondan. Thaarame. Sid Sriram. So beautiful. Marriage is life long promise, come what may. It takes so many things to make it last forever. Patience is one. Lots of it. I'm smiling. And motivation for your other half. Even in your angriest, do not mock them. Love accepts the person as they are. We learn all these in lessons of marriage. I'm smiling again because I sound like a philosopher.

Good night everyone.

Love,
