Empuraan

I watched the movie on 01.04.25 because there was a hue and cry on scenes getting cut or removed to meet everyone's sentiments and also all the people in the WhatsApp group had already watched the movie.

Compared to the 2019 Lucifer, I felt this movie was not upto the mark and it has definitely not lived upto the hype the movie makers created.

The movie has been made in a Hollywood style and the scenes have no interlinked connection. If one scene was short in Yemen then the next was in USA. 

I also left and the next time I wish to go for a movie then I wouldn't look into the social media as I was able to understand the singers artists behind the movie. The things that I had as a surprise was missing here.

I always feel like Mohanlal looks good in the nadan get up and not as a macho guy wearing pants or trousers. 

But the award for best actor goes to Manju Warrier. I had goosebumps when I saw the handcuffs Priyadarshini being led away and the namaste to the people speaks volume of her calibre as an actor.

It's a sad ending to Tovino Thomas as the CM. I wonder what could have happened to a young CM to go ultra bad?

Overall, as I told earlier, it's not as great a movie as Lucifer but I didn't feel a need to get scenes of the Gujarat rape or the NIA because those are inspired from real life incidences

An FY 2025-26

Another FY has started and it's already look ok. Not great not bad just ok. 

On a personal front I was this year to go great. Hopefully it will

February 8, 2025....The day I met a real Prince

On 7th February 2025 I wasn't even sure if I would travel to trivananathapuram because I was suffering from a severe cold for the past couple of days. But I was it to vande Bharat and the next, on 8th February 2025 I first had a drashan of the great Padmanabhaswamy temple which happened in 45 minutes thanx to the direct call of the Prince. Even then we weren't sure if we could meet the Prince but as luck should have it we were able to meet the Prince for a good 30 minutes and I bought the book " The history librated - the Sree Chitra saga". It's a book to cherish forever like the 30 minutes we had with the Prince Shri Avittam Thirunal Aditya Verma 

A forgotten birthday

On Saturday when I was travelling in my car I came across a college where my friend had once studied. She was a friend, a roomie and one of the first buddies in an aliented world. I remember her crying when I had to go to my hometown and very excited when I come back. Someone who used to be very much happy with my birthday or any other occasions for that matter.  I used to wish her a day in advance coz I used to forget the date. But this year, I think for the first time she has forgotten my birthday and it hurts.Its as if everyone has moved forward, become busy but I was still in my hostel. I know I shouldn't be sad and just accept the fact that people change but somewhere changes like these hurt
