If given an opportunity, we never fail to remind P that he is privileged to have the comforts and luxury which other under-privileged children are deprived of. Whenever he refuses to wear any particular dress, or finish of his food , we gently start the topic and vitta pothumnu he would comply ;) (such is our tactics , donot know how long we can use this )
Today while returning from class following conversation took place -
P : Amma innaikku naan school porache rendu kids paarthen , they were puppy shame.
Me : Oh, paavam avangalukku dress eh irunthirukkathu, athanaalathaan pola irukku.
P : Illamma avangulukku neraiya dress irukku.
Me : Unakku eppadi theriyum ?
P : Avanga amma dress potrunthaangale !!!!!!!!!! And avanga iron pannindu irunthaanga, so avanga ella dress um thoikka pottu , athu dry aagathathaala podale. Avanga kitta ellame irukku.
Me : @#$%$%^&^ muzhichufying for a repartee

Role reversal
Yesterday i went to Spencers daily - Ashok Nagar. It was literally empty with only one or two customers. They have changed the entire set up and the display patterns.
Logic and the strategy behind the display and arrangement of products were pathetic. It was not customer friendly at all. I could see so many unwanted products on display and a clutter of the products. The products were just thrown in their shelves and were packed. I think same disorganisation drove Subiksha - the once pioneer in the departmental stores segment out of the market. And it seems Spencers too is following the same mantra. The staffs were just acting disoriented and without concern.
This reminds me of the book "As the crow flies" - Jeffrey Archer. He would have dealt beautifully the rise of the conglomerate and the strategies and policies that goes into the upbringing of the largest store. Right from the AGM to appointment of directors to the motion study all aspects related to the accounting and commerce would have been methodologically dealt with. Even the world wars would find its place and the impact of the same on the trade and commerce would have been dealt. Instead of maintaining bitterness towards the British who held us, we, at some point of time would feel sympathy towards them.
On the whole I like Archer simply for the fact that he not only deals with the plot of the story but also with other information related.
Now to the original context of the post, In this story he would enlist how one should deal with the customers and the importance of display and strategical placement of goods.
Local departmental stores seems to have caught up with the trend with their personal attention to the details and customer friendly approach.
Is this called role reversal?

Movies
Watched both BEB and Endhiran. Two very contrast films. Where do i begin first?
BEB - Out and out entertainment. Even if i turn around to get the water bottle i miss a one-liner and deprived of the joke which P and aathukarar share. Surprise! Surprise! Nayanthara can humour us with her expressions rather with her costumes. She attempted similar in a sarathkumar movie and vishals satyam. Both cannot be sagichufied merely for the reason she tried to copy other heroines. This one was really original. Story - Why do we need one when you can laugh non-stop? Did we have any thing of that sort in Thillumullu or MMKR? All we had to do was laugh our lungs out.
Endhiran - Aathu being a hardcore rajini fan didnt like the film. He expected sort of - singa mugam, singam thaniyaathaan varum, bajji venuma sort of dialogues. And saying all this he saw the movie on first day first night show paying Rs.1000/- along with his brother.
Avaroda complaint ennannaaaa Rajini padam how do you suppose to hear the dialogues and that too first day athuvumaaaa people were quiet and at the end of the film everyone stood up and started clapping ... grrr.... is this the sort of response u give a rajini film.....Die hard fans are unable to accept in any other roles......His verdict was this is not chitti chitti robot film but chutti Tv robot film......
On the other hand, i liked the film. The thing is iam not able to appreciate the acting of Robot Rajini simply for the fact that i was not able to relate him to rajini or a character. I just saw him as robot. It is evident in the scene when he intends to find the black sheep in the fleet of robots. Your heart skips a beat when he slashes the robots trying to find the scientist. P enjoyed the film but said at the end of the movie that -Amma i liked the good robot only not the bad one.
P.S - A robot drawn by P while i was doing his holiday homework ;)
