Guess what I am on my way to Cochin via Trichy Pollachi and Guruvayur . My family is know for its ill planned but by chance a pleasant and well executed trips.We started form Chennai today morning at 10.My father was insistent that we must visit the bird sanctuary on the way. On the way to Vedanthangal we went to a temple.It was by chance that we actually went there.It was Srinivasa Perumal temple. The main deity's name was quoted previously.However the Ganesha there was the piece de resistance. The Ganesh idol was called as Vara Sidhi Nava Graha Vinayagar .It was love at first sight. There are certain temples you feel close to very soon.This was one such a temple. I do not know if it was God's will or just plain luck that we went there but every second that I had spent there made me feel His divine power. The Vinayagar had all the Navagrahas in various parts of its body and narasimhan at its back. The presence of Lord Shiva and Srinivasa was to symbolize that the...

I am an ardent reader. I am not author specific of type specific. Any decent author would do.Lately when I had gone to the library I took a book called "Skipping Christmas" by John Grisham . I was impressed because the ides seemed great. Plus this novel has been featured as a movie hence all this motivated me to give that book a shot. As a book its actually a drag.First 150 pages of the 227 page novel shows the odds the lead couple have to face due to skipping Christmas. I must have know about it before though. I have read "The broker" and "The juror" by the same writer. Both the books were engaging but not exactly gripping. The writer has his own pace of story telling which takes some time to adapt to in each novel irrespective of the fact that you are reading nth novel of his. This is no revolution but the idea sounds great. Ask any kid what does Christmas means to you he or she would say :"Food, clothes, Decorations and of course Santa himself wit...

I had recently seen the 'Julie and Julia' movie.I must say it was a treasure.If you ask people what they liked it they movie then without hesitation most of them will say food. I do second that thought. However food credits are second on my list. The first thing which struck me was the beautiful relationships which existed it the movie.All relationships in that movie are worth mentioning.How ever by stereotype I too will place the love between the 2 lead couples on top.The next favorite is the relationship between Julie and her mother.That person never appears in the movie but it has been skillfully developed.It is not easy making yourself feel and look important when you siblings are signing off deals in billions of dollars and you having only a small yet secure government job. The actual transformation in Julia from a person who cannot even make boiled eggs to becoming artful enough to write a cook book on french cooking is very noteworthy.She has this never die spirit.She di...

I had recently gone to a stage play by Evam group. I had intended to see their Five point someone but could not find time to do so.I was immensely delighted that at last I was going to their play.I have heard my friends sing their parise hence they had aroused my curiosity.The play was in Alliance Franchise in Nugabakkam.I liked the was the auditorium was.It had wooden steps to sit on.It gave a nice theater feeling. Frankly speaking I had expected a play.Urban turban was a stand up comedy.I didn't make a face at first but not for too long.Karthik is indeed the hero of the troupe.He has this effortless delivery methodology.I m not conservative at the same time not broadminded enough to listen to someone talking about things like men's rest rooms or urinating or sex.But Karthik did make me listen.With a light hearted and jovial sense.It was hilarious i must say.His part was at the start and at the end.Clever placing I must say.Karthik! You not have an ardent fan. After Karthik wa...
