Peranmai.. Story different from tamil melodrama

I went with a friend today to watch the movie-"Peranmai" And the movie did have an impact on me. The story revolves around the protagonist (Jeyam Ravi) who hails from a tribal group but is working as NCC trainer. He has a perfect balance between conserving his culture while being modern in his thoughts. The story is about how 5 girls and this man stop the foreign intrusion in India's rocket launch. Although the action sequences at some instances were indigestible, yet movie had a lot to teach.

Here are a few lessons I learnt from the movie :

1) Girls are more fond of men's ass than men are fond of theirs!!!

2) Girls share/steal undies..(phew..guys dont!!!).. so never ever try to steal your girl friend's undies for your fantasy. you might end up with one of her frenz!!!!

3) Girl's would do the most smartest things & the most stupid things when you least expect it from them! (the point where the girl dies by drowning and the other one gets killed by Mr.Universe! In the latter case, the irony was that she killed a few foreign armed men using wits but gets killed because of one "cuckoo" sound!

4)If you want the girls to bring revolution or get some work done, motivate them by saying "You are durga, you are kaali, you are shakti, you aer..well.. the list should go on unless you see the pupil of the girl's eyes enlarge to the maximum!

5) Once she takes the hybrid form of above mentioned avatars, she will have such a ferocious appearance that the cops will run despite the fact that he will have a gun in hand while our durga,shakti,kaali will be chasing them completely unarmed!

6) Girl's keep repeating mistakes and act foolish. The only smart thing they do is to fall in love with guys!

7) tribals walk on their hands when they get angry! I guess that's how the tamil phrase " thalay kizha ninnu aathu senju kaatanum" came int existence. meaning- i will do it even if i have to stand upside down.

Well..the movie did teach me some serious lesson. .

1) It taught me that I should never care about who takes the credit. I should do my best for the welfare of the people of my country.

2) One must keep cool. It is a known fact that people around you will pull you down to come up. But you must keep working and helping others. If others dont help you, make it a point that you help others!

3) you senior officials are dumb and would always insult you. Never bother yourself with that. Explain things to your conscience and no one else!

4) Patience is one of the biggest asset. It pays well.. infact very well

5) Anger is the best weapon. never show it by shouting or fighting. Accumulate it as energy and show it in your work!

6) finally, as mentioned above, dont care if you dont get recognition for the work You ultimately made some contribution while living and that is important in life than getting fame!

Apart from few flaws, the movie was a good one. I was happy that it was not one of those village type of love stories where they keep going round n round on giant wheel in a stupid fair when they fall in love. The stunts were awesome and the way Ravi acted was really marvellous. Worth watching once.

Abusing power...

Gandhiji said, "Be the change you want to see in the world". I want to see the change in all those officials who abuse powers. I encountered few incidents in my college which had put me to shame. Groped with frustration & irritation I dint know how to respond and felt forced to pour down my heart's content through blog. So this is what happened:

I am applying for internships and need a no objection certificate and transcripts. These two are essential to complete the application procedure. With a enthusiastic mood and a smile, I approach my dean. Our dean is a sweet heart n readily signed and forwarded it to the registrar. I approach the registrar who enthusiastically approved it and asked me to meet his assistant to get the letter. And now the story begins...

I go to the office and introduce myself to the Asst registrar

Me-" Good afternoon sir, i am R.Shrinivasan doing my M.Tech in Industrial Biotech, 5 year integrated course and i am applying for an internship & require a no objection certificate from head of the institution. Registrar has asked me to meet you concerning this issue.." "smiles"

He looks at the letter which was signed by all the higher authorities. Name the person and the signature was there. After listening to my entire intro he says," I am not the person in charge, meet that person"

Now, the room is very small.. with some 7 officials sitting across one round table. All their eyes on me. I approach the person directed and say i need NOC.

2nd official(angry tone)-" is this the way you ask??? who are you? hw am i supposed to know what you need" I repeat the entire intro with few sorry n excuses.

He looks at the letter n says, " I am not incharge of Biotech contact him"

i approach the 3rd, the fourth, the 5th, the 6th official. Every time I approach a new person i repeat the intro. The irony is that all know my need but they wanted me to suffer! They were deriving a pleasure by all this. this wasnt funny to me. Finally the guy with a nonchalant attitude (both hands behind his bald head, relaxing on chair) asks me to get it signed from registrar!!!

I said-" its already signed" oh shit. what did I do?? i am not supposed to back answer. and i face the consequence

he- angry. "keep it on the table n leave" i keep it on table and ask him wen can i collect it

him- frustrated. u cant be given letter whenever you want. it takes time. dont you know dat???

me- sorry sir. and i leave

i wasnt sure of how to respond but task ahead was much important. I had to apply for transcript. For transcripts, one is supposed to apply 20 days before. I had applied it on 19/10/2009. I had been begging them to give it. People who had applied after me got theirs but mine seems to be missing.

I went to the office today.

Me- Sir, i came to collect my transcript.

he looks at the 400 rupee receipt and date. "You people dont know the timing to approach. I have been working right from morning. come after 2 hours. I will give then

I wait for 2 hours in the lobby and approach him again

Me- sir transcript?

He checks the record and says " Yours is not ready yet"

I get frustrated. I ask him when can i have them. I tell him that i urgently need it. Its been more than 20 days but others have got it. Why not me? what is the problem. Now he doesnt anwswer but the other official shows his authority.

Him-" Get out. Dont you know exams are going on?" you cant get it. How dare you ask such things to us??? get out. come after exams. go now"

I was treated as if i come from some slum or some creepy worm of a gutter. Damn it. For god's sake, I am a technocrat!!! My dad pays the fee. this is not the way you behave. You mint money but dont pay heed to the student!!!! How fair is that? i leave because i cannot shout at them. They have powers and abuse powers. All the higher officials are humble but their assistants roam with a fake pride and attitude. It is these assistants who grin and derive pleasure by torturing students.

I was frustrated because i wasted my time. I wanted to take rest after my exam but i spent 2 hours waiting just to hear a NO. When i enquire, i am called rude, arrogant and spoiled brat.

Once upon a time i used to pride myself to be associated with an elite institution like this. Today I feel ashamed to be studying here.

Today Gandhian laws may not seem to work. But i still stick to them. Silence is the only weapon but my beliefs stagger when I see people abusing powers. I know this is a small and trivial issue. Government officials are worse. But what is the solution to all this?? what is a common man supposed to do in such situation? ??

These trivial things are crippling the society and nobody seems to do anything. I can be the change by not abusing powers, if given to me. But what about my needs at the present?

.silence.

Watz in de newz??

well the very first thing that i do when i wake up in the morning is to check news, usually at google.. these days im at home so why miss a chance when tv is there.. so wats in de newz?? the great Maha Shame.. Maha as in Maharastra as well as Maha, sumthing thats huge... Azmi was taking oath in Hindi and ppl from MNS party were against it. As a rule they must take oath only in Marathi.. How lame is tat? Hindi is our national lang plus ppl over there in north can understand hindi unlike in Tamilnadu where everythin is in Tamil... So why bother if he takes pledge in hindi or marathi... another news was about a 5 yr old kid trapped in a borewell for 34 hours in jaipur and how they had to retrieve him...then came the 20th anniversary of the Berlin wall..wow few months ago i was madly in love with germany that i learnt german or rather Deutsch and have even passed in the first exam.. but wats the point.. its so damn difficult to survive in Germany... die, das der aahhh its so damn frustrating...
nothin much on the other channels so opened my laptop and started reading new moon, the sequel to Twiligth... well well well, i badly wanted to finish reading the book b4 the movie so that i can compare both.... i havent even read my univ materials with lot of interest..
thus passed the rest of the day

halo!!

One tree hill

One tree hill is an American teenage drama revolving around five main protagonists... Its about the lives of two half brothers called Nathan and Lucas and about their relations... It starts from being dead enemies to becoming a family and trying to outdo their dad... btw u can read it in wiki if u want..... what i really wanna say is that how i fell in love with the character called Brooke Davis which is played by Sophia Bush... Oh my god!! She is the ultimate girl, she's the cheer girls captain, student counselor president, a best friend, popular in school and ofcourse very pretty and sexy....
right from the very first episode where she comes and till now I have never been able to take my eyes off her... she plays the character which such ease and it appears amazingly easy for her to play the character... she has such grace and i keep thinking as why i dont get a gf like that.....
Being in final year you mite think if its necessary for me to watch all these damn serials.. well all credits to akash ladha... he's one serial freak and actually made me into one too... It all started with Lost, went gradually to How i met ur mom to supernatural and then to House MD and now one tree hill.. Im bloody not able to concentrate on anything else.. just stuk to my laptop and watching it.. I finally graduated to season 4 but my damn system... files got corrupted and not able to watch it.. adding more pain is that "has started to rain again".. wat a life!!

arrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh RAIN!!!

I think i must be the only one who wants the sun to shine brightly... well wat can i say? after finishing my practical exams and after taking pains in traveling in a day train to reach home but only to see that it has been raining for the past so many hours and that i can step out of my house.
I very badly wanted a break from everything, especially from watching this English series called one tree hill, about which i will blog sometime later.... I just wanted to stroll outside and just loll around the neighborhood but thanks to rain god... It has been raining incessantly for the past 3 days and I am not even able to go out...
Actually it stopped raining at around 2 in the afternoon so i got ready in a jiffy and as i about to step outside... yeah u guesses it rite, it started to rain... still i wanted to leave but what can i say, the martinet in my house dint allow me... was stuck up in the house doing nothing....

Nosy all day! !! !!!

Achoo... well.. I am sitting here writing this post with running nose. only god knows where i kept my hand kerchief cuz m wiping my nose on the bed sheet now.. mmm mmm.. it feels so soft to my nose..what is this anyway???? well..it was my sisters soft linen bed sheet which she newly bought...but wait..what is it doing on my bed????? who cares..After the groping effort to understand the reason, i decide to have a hair cut! wat a dumass idea to have hair cut with running nose!! but i still do it !!

I go to the shop n.....damn it. before i could enter, i sneeze..not once or twice..but 6 times in a spree.. what is it? some atomizer fit in my nose?? the barber was holding a spray in hand to wet the customers hair....but it wasnt needed any more cuz my nose did the work for him. i sit next to a guy reading news paper. He turns d page n there it is- "Prevent H1N1!!". he gets nervous n leaves the shop immediately. i wipe my nose with my hanky n lo!!it was there in my pocket all this time n i was using sister's bed sheet!!! m sure she loves her brother n wont mind it!!!

Now this running nose has two types. One is the thick phlegm that has that yellowish tinge n very viscous. On the other hand i had this clear watery one which ran like tap water n was involuntary. No matter how much i breathe in hard, it would run down like a river. so i sit with this on that barber's chair, wiping my nose one last time. (Reciting dhanvantri mantra to save me from any embarrassment..)

i managed to divert my attention towards the TV.. i saw this cartoon about vikata kavi asking goddess durga- " How do you manage running nose with thousand heads!!"well..thats indeed a thought provoking question!!! i got lost in my own thoughts imagining top shot Actress sneezing n wiping the phlegm in the middle of the shooting a dance!!! did they invent naaku-mukka song that way??? :p or setting up a sting operation to capture a politician digging the nose n wiping it in under his colleagues desk!!!

my thoughts were interrupted when this tiny spec of hair got into my nose!!! n shit... its irritating my nostrils now. i was already having this Ganga-jamuna running down, now this triggered my immune response to double the activity !! If only i could construct a dam under my nose, it would have saved thousands of farmers from committing suicide n there would not have been a cavery issue ever!!!! sighs!!!

...its shaving time now!!! i m like-"whaaaaat!".... best part is that you have to keep your head in tilted direction which helped me in holding my phlegm inside d nose. but wait. what did i tell him?? to trim my mush?? am i insane? n there came this trimmer n all d hair went straight up the nose.. i get up n....achoo achoo achoo achoo... gave one last glance to my hanky.. n what the hell was that???!!! i could make a wig out of those hairs!! bloody hell.. i leave the place n go home...

Sister-" Mommy, i guess spilled the agar solution on bed sheet while making jelly for the project.. but how come i dont remember it.. Am i suffering from amnesia mommy???"

Mom-" No sweet heart. it must have been your bro"

Sis-" Why????Whats up wid him?? !@#$%^&**()

Mom-" Hes been Nosy all day :) "

Sis-" :O whaaaaaaat!!!!.. yieeeeekssssss...what the hell does he think is this?? just because it is pink doesnt mean that he considers it as his girl's panties.. ewwwwwww...hw cud he wipe the nose on this.. i bought this precious barbie print n you r telling me that he wiped his phlegm on it!!!! aaaarrrrrgggg & look where has he wiped it!!!!!!!! just on her privates!!!....grrrrrrrr...he better pay back ...." the voices trailed off.. it sounded like an orchestra.. standing on the doorstep, i make up my mind to wander out in the rain!!! :) ever wondered y it rains?? well, someone musta got nosy up there too!!! :P

Charlie chaplin said-" i cry in the rain so that people cant see my tears!" i say-" i roam in the rain so that i dont have to wipe my nose again n again!!! :)

Was it a dream????????

Lecturer- "Shrini, are u ready with your seminar?"

Me- ( is he nuts? i already took it yesterday.. oww wait wait .. was it the dream?? oh mann i had performed so well.. ahh, it definitely was a dream.. reason- lecturer was wearing a saree..!!! shit.. ) " yes sir".wait. did i prepare for it in reality???? what is the topic???

Well, this is what has been happening with me for the past few days. Lecturers stop teaching and load us with seminars.. I was too overloaded.. If only i had been named Herbie, i could use- "Herbie fully loaded" the only thing that was common b/w me n Herbie was, seminars were DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

Amidst all these confusions, i woke up this monday morning at 4 with a sudden gasp.. fish.i forgot to prepare for today's seminar.. spent the sunday watching movie.. wtf.. i log on to the computer with delirium .. all my brain instructed was- switch on to the internet IMMEDIATELY!!!! and dats what i did.. but wait.... WHAT IS THE TOPIC???? b4 that... WHAT SUBJECT DUDE???? it took me a minute to realise what was happening.. i was again dreaming about taking one seminar.. oh no.. not again.. i somehow managed to surf through some topics for safe side.. I reach college.. I happen to cross that lecturer..

After struggling with lots of should & shouldn't, i managed to ask him

Me-" Sir, I was wondering if you had asked me to take seminar on sterilisation quipments"

Him-"!@#$%^*. No shrini..We are not having seminar on family planning. ha ha.." (the poorest joke i ever heard u know!)

Me-Phew. thank god. i am safe. weakly smiling for his so called joke.

Him-"You were supposed to take on infectious disease of Type 4 safety level and recombinant vector vacines for them"

Me-"Type 4 Whaaaaat???????"!@#$%^&*()
