Awesome movie

A very decent movie with lot of turning points.

As a whole the movie is good. But has lot of flaws with many scenes.

The lead female actor's (Amala) mom addresses the lead actor (Vidharth) as "marumagan" meaning son-in-law from the day he helped her and her daughter. But why is she not willing to get her daughter married to him ? I feel this is the first flaw.

Vidharth was hand cuffed with the sub inspector till the restaurant scene, which I don't think is not practical. The bus accident scene was not appealing. But it was needed to create the bond between Vidharth, ins and sub-ins.

The movie should have had a positive end. Just to have a negative climax, the climax is messed up.

On reaching Peria Kulam, sub-ins should have taken Amala with him and should have ended it positively.

After Amala suicided (she should not have done this ! I don't understand why she suicided), Vidharth also ended his life. After this, the ins kills his wife and her brothers, father (What the heck !!! The scene well shows  how anger can turn down any person).

The ins's wife should be rational. Atleast for being a police personnel's wife, she should have understood him atleast a little. The inspector character is very good. He showed the right emotions. The sub ins, as the experience speaks, really showed maturity for his experience in the field.

Overall the movie is worth watching.

A good job from Prabhu Soloman.

Growing Good Corn

Another nice article from an office mail :

There was a Nebraska farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon

...

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. "How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.

"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."

He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves.

So it is in other dimensions. Those who choose to be at peace must help their neighbors to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.

If we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.

Love and Time

Another wonderful article got in an office mail :

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?”Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!”

“I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.”

“Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her. 

Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who Helped me?”

“It was Time,” Knowledge answered.

“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.”

Bad Temper

This is a nice article I came across in a mail at office :


There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day, the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.





Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. “


When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.”

Lecturers at college

It is been quite a while to write a blog.

Well, it is 12.30 am 20th Dec, Monday. Just reading "five point someone". While reading just thought of writing a blog listing all the lecturers I could recollect now.

1. My HOD. Aww, what is the name ? I forgot. Friends : if you can give the name I would post it here :-)
2. My Tutor. Christie mam. I indeed respect her a lot. She always cared a lot for me personally about my health. I still remember those meetings where she stressed on health.
3. Manoharan sir :-) One of the lecturers I respect for his attitude rather than anything else. The first subject he handled for us is Electro Magnetic Fields. A lovely subject it should be. I never mastered it. But I love the concept of electro magnetics.
4. Radhika madam. She handled Mathematics in first semester. She is one of those I would want to meet when I go college anytime if possible.
5. Lalithambigai mam. She handled C Programming in first semester. She indeed had a lot of info on C language. She taught well. But I got only 7-C. My worst rating ever, meaning I scored only 60 to 69. Hmmm. I am yet to master C :-)
6. Communications skill mam : Again I forgot the name. Friends : Your help needed again :-)
7. Kesavamurthy sir : He did not handle any subject I think. But still he is one of those I cannot forget.
8. Ramanathan sir : A very hard working sir. I love the way he handles and controls his class.
9. Sivaraj sir. Another hard working lecturer.
10. Rajalakshmi mam. She handled VLSI in third sem i think.
11. Engineering graphics sir. I forgot his name. He really was a geek in that subject. I scored 10 S (90 to 100) in this subject. I love this sub.
12. Krishnaveni mam. She handled "Signals and Systems" and "DSP".
13. Faculties from Mathematics department. I could not recollect even one of the names.

I am not getting anymore name. I do remember the subjects rather.

If anyone is going through this blog, help me in recollecting all our lecture names :-)
