Hey Jude - Malayalam movie

Hey Jude - Never before emotional connect               

         

       You don't get to watch many movies that can get you immersed fully into it. 'Hey jude' got me hooked to it right from the beginning to end. Emotionally it got me so attached that a lump in my throat never left me even after I finished watching it. The movie is directed by Shyamaprasad and the lead characters are played by Nivin pauly and Trisha. Though I knew about Nivin Pauly before watching this film but I did not know it was him who played main role in the movie. I realized why he is rated so high. About Trisha, this was her debut movie in the mallu cine field and this is one of her best in her long film career. 

        Some times it so happens that there are no big reasons why we get connected emotionally to a story line. Hey Jude is a kind of movie that is not normally made in other languages esp. tamil or hindi. Only malayalees have the guts to take up unique and special subjects for their movies. This is a movie about the story of two special people. One is a mathematical genius who has phenomenal talent with numbers and has a lots of interest in oceanography.  This man has special talents and brilliant in solving maths. But when it comes to social life, he comes a cropper. He has huge difficulties in understanding basic tenets of normal social life.  The other is a girl who is a daughter of a professor of psychology who has bipolar disorder. Her mood swings from best to worst in no time. The story is all about how these two unusual people meet and befriend each other.  


       As I said before I did not recognize Nivin in the movie. I started watching the movie more for Trisha as I thought she would not act in a mediocre or bad movie at this stage of her career.Nivin was totally into his character. Initially I thought of Jude in the movie only as an unknown malayalam actor. But the playing of the characterization was so brilliant that I thought the guy deserved an award. His portrayal of the role was so complete that nobody could have done justice to the role better than him. Trisha was so real in her role that we forget that she is a star actor and we could see her only as the disturbed girl who breaks down emotionally so easily. Technically also this film is made perfectly and camera work is so eye catchy and pleasant and it is difficult to take our eyes off the movie. All in all, this is a movie worth watching and in my limited film watching I would rate this along with great movies of all time for the quality of time I spent watching it and for emotional connect.

Hindus in Hindu Rashtra book - my impressions

Hindus in Hindu Rashtra book - my impressions       I got this book through one of my relatives whose political leanings I do not know. Anyway it doesn't matter here for reviewing this book. Except Historian Sitaram goel's book 'Hindu temples - what happened to them' , I have never read any book by a hindutva writer. The author of this book "Hindus in Hindu Rashtra" is Anand Ranganathan. I already knew about him as a Right wing propangadist and writer in English along with people like J Sai Deepak & Vikram Sampath. These people are very popular through their speeches and discussions on Youtube channels and I have watched some of their videos. They were all very articulate and communicative to drive their points hard. The agenda, of course is Hindutva.       Let's come to the book. We will see the some of the arguments put forth by the author on the plight of hindus in India and my views on them. 1 Hindus are treated like Eighth class citizens ...

கொடைமடம் நாவல்  - சில எண்ணங்கள்       நான் மிக விரைவாக படித்து முடித்த புத்தகம் சாம்ராஜ் அவர்கள் எழுதிய கொடைமடம்.  படிக்க தொடங்கி    இரண்டு தினங்களில் 600 பக்கங்களை கடப்பது என்பது எனக்கு ஒரு சாதனை தான்.  சமீபமாக ஒரு பத்து பக்கம் வாசித்தால் எனக்கு தூக்கம் கண்ணைக் க‌ட்டி கொண்டு வந்து கொண்டு இருந்த நேரத்தில் படிக்க தொடங்கிய புத்தகம் இது.  வாசித்த மூன்று நாளும் வேறு எண்ணங்களே இல்லை.  கதை மாந்தர்கள் முழுமையாக மனதை ஆக்கிரமித்துக் கொண்டு இருந்தனர் . ஆகச் சிறந்த ஒரு வாசிப்பு அனுபவத்தைத் தரும் ஒரு புத்தகம்.  சந்தேகம் எதுவும் இல்லை.        இடது சாரி இயக்கத்  தலைவர்கள் மத்தியில் 80 கள் 90 களில் கதை ஓட்டம் செல்கிறது. முக்கிய கதை மாந்தர்கள் ஜென்னி முகுந்தன். அவர்கள் வழியே கதை ஓட்டம்  பெரும்பகுதி சென்றாலும் ஏராளமான கிளை  துணைக் கதைகளும் விரவிக் கிடக்கின்றன.  அவைகள் ஏதோ ஒரு வகையில் main storyline உடன் தொடர்பு உ‌ள்ளது.

Spectrum of Left - Part 1 / Time to retrieve left from orthodoxy

Spectrum of Left      We were discussing politics in a family function some months ago. One of the persons in the casual chat was a district level RSS funtionary. As I am a known left sympathizer,  the rss guy tried to provoke me by strongly criticizing the Marxism based parties' activities and movements. I didn't fall for the trap. I said though I have left leanings as a trade union functionary, I won't blindly defend all that the left parties do nor do I fully subscribe to Marxist ideas. My support is only a qualified one and I further said that I was entitled to difference of opinion on some of the conventional left views or policies. One of the participants then said that there are many shades of left - or spectrum of left views among people. It provoked me to attempt this write up on the left thinking.       Debate with fundamentalists       And in the discussion I unambiguously told that, yes, I have some differing view p...
