VTV

Actually, iam like the jessie(Trisha) in the film. Enakku pidikkarthu, aanaalum illa mudiyaathu, ennala innoru tharam paarkka mudiyaathu... Its just a feel good film for the lovers and the romantic people who have been there. But, more than the feel good thing there should be substance, and definitely it is missing.
Its definitely not like minnale, and even in cop films like kakka kakka and Vettaiyadu vilayadu, the romance in-built was smooth and had some substance for the hero/heroine to fall. Ofcourse, love at first sight for one of the person but when he tries to convince the other or rather attract the other there should be some solid ground.
The flaws as in my opinion:
1. When hearing the dialogues only the scene from "devar magan" came to my mind. "Verum kaathu thaanga varuthu" - Konjam saththamaa ellarum pesalaaam.
2. Revolving only around two characters and after sometime it becomes monotonous and they could have better reduced the timing like that of 1 hr to show the whole story. (That means we have to miss the songs - athukkum oru vazhi irukku - they can do the songs like that of unnaipol oruvan - oru album maathiri )
3. Songs - Not upto the mark - enakku ennavo manjal veyil and adiye kolluthe simbu version la paarkaraamaathiri irunthathu. The picturisation and the songs should be fresh in memory to attract, IMO. But, ippovum intha song eppa varum, antha song eppa varum, en varuthunnu oru confusion irukku, since there is no uniqueness in the picturisation. If u look at alaipaayuthe, each song would be of different genre and would have been given a seperate treatment. (heard in some interview that GVM himself choerographed some songs - pls ungalukku ethukku intha vendaatha velai)
4. How did Simbu impress Trisha - the so called rationale, cool-headed girl . Just pesi pesiye oru train journey la impress panniduvaara -seri okay - but atleast ennathaan pesaraanga nnu kaatti irukkalaam- hmmm not impressing me though. Given a chance, he always hugs and kisses her, its more of infatuation than love,i feel.
5. Trisha family and simbu family kku innum extra screen space kuduthirukkalaaam. After some time, oh ithu annan illa appadinnu revise panna vendi irukku. Characters expect the friend manasula pathiyave illa.
Ippadi ellaaam sonnalum, i watched with my aathukarar whole movie even skipping my daily routine of giving food to P (asked paatti to give him while he was playing games in the system).
And without ARR's music , sure the movie would have sank without a trace....

Review of 2009

Generally 2009 went without any hiccups, it was an ordinary year without any extremes. Neither it was too bad nor it was too good.
Let me analyse it chronologically
1.First pongal celebrated without any sugarcane or sweet pongal. We celebrated with molagu pongal for a change.
2. P joined his dance class and (thank god) continues till date.
3. One of my aathukarars cousin got married and met all the relatives (athellam ippadi ethavathu kalyanam kaatchinnu meet pannathaan undooo). Kandipppa ellar veettukkum varomnu promise pannathoda seri.
4. Was off and on with co-sis and became pretty close with her. Lets see to what extent it goes.
5. P got his tonsillitis and adenoids removed. And it was the second time i saw my aathukarar crying (first during his fathers death) . I was shocked to see him crying profusely outside the operation theatre. I carried him inside and made him to change to the theatre dress and P found something was wrong and clung to me like a kangaroo and started crying. I controlled myself and left him with the doctor and came outside just to witness aathukarar crying and sobbing uncontrollably.
6. Went on a religious trip and long pending venduthals offered (Anthaa post innum complete panna padu illa) Innum konjam venduthals pending - karnataka side and kerala side.
7. Made peace with my father and visited him and his family. Went to the car festival of perumal koil after a gap of 12yrs.
8. P made smooth transition from Lkg to Ukg and in fact excelled in his class. (I love u P whatever it may be)
9. Three of my friends welcomed their angels into their family. So my son is odd one out among our circle of friends. So far only girl children.
10. Swine flu scare forced everyone inside their home and due to this was not able to celebrate P's birthday as requested by him by inviting all his friends
11. Two nightmare incidents happened and it taught me a good lesson.
12. Have been into serious blogging of late.
13. So many relatives visits happened and two marriages are due.
14. Made friend with S and she was first colleague of my aathukarar and later joined us in the beginning of this year. Though i knew her for the past 10 yrs met her in person just this year as she joined our organisation. Since then, she continues to be good friend and a confidante of mine.
15. First time spent a week-long vacation without my aathukarar and the beauty was i didnt miss him much. (Athu konja naal aanaa appadithaan polannu avar polambarthu kaathula kekkarthaa?)
16. Renewed my long time passion - reading books. At times iam even awake till 4.00 in the morning reading just with the help of night lamp. Illenna P yoda thookkam kettu poidume. Looking forward to visit the Book fair. Hope to visit this weekend.
16. Last but not the least we were featured in one of the IT newsletter - Couples as such in Sp business being partners and the role of the spouse.

So many international events happened and many bloggers have listed them and i wouldnt be doing justice by re-listing them, though the order may change. Though there were few incidents here and there , as in my opinion, no major disaster except for the befall of LTTE happened.

Stepping into 2010 without any major plans and wish to take things as they come.

Wishing all of you a warm and fun-filled 2010 ahead.
