Do you read the message right?

People here used to blame the quality of Tamil Movies. General complaints that they used to make are, they are more glamour oriented, sentimental, violence, no message to the society, misleading youths and etc...

Ironically, no-one bothers to appreciate a good movies. To name few of the quality, message oriented movies in the recent times

Indian
Gentleman
Ramana
Samurai
Anniyan
Muthalvan
....

All these movies suggest changes to the society to bring out the humanitarian in each of us. All these movies were big hit at box-office, still there is no big change in the society.

The messages are conveyed correctly, but the individuals are not ready to accept it because they don't want to change themself and/or the society.

Can the producers/directors be happy for the money that they earn in making such movies? Or should they worry about not passing the message correctly that the movies intended to? The first one gives the status in society and the second gives the satisfaction in one's self.

The real success of these movies depend on how many people read the message correctly. Even if it is one, that is a success. To me, if anyone changed their mind on reading this blog, it was a success to me.

After seeing Anniyan, I stopped violating traffic rules and small small mistake that I used to. If I can, why can't you?

Everyone expects Miracle to happen...

Can anyone of you name a company that has a 100% happy and satisfied workforce in this part of the world? At least, workforce without complaints?

Every employee has a range of complaints that they used raise during chit chats and when they are part of a mass. The complaints varies between the kind of work/technology he is put in and his pay package. If you wake-up anybody and ask him "what is wrong with your company?". He can give a big list.

I do live with a group of employees with the same mindset. I used to wonder whether these complaines have ever been raised, if not addressed. They usually say that they were not given an oppurtunity to raise these issues.

Given an oppurtunity, will they address? If you ask me, I would say that they are using lack of oppurtunity as an excuse for their lack of courage.

For example, no one turned up to a meeting with our HR in my company to raise any issues they might be having. I was wondering whether all my colleagues became happy on one sudden day? All their concerns were addressed even before they are raised?

Still people used to raise their concerns in mass. The worst part of this is that they all know they are raising their issues to the wrong audience.

If you wait for oppurtunity to knock your doors, you will get one or two in your life time. If you go out and search for oppurtunity, you will get enough to miss one or two.

How secured is your life....

Everybody is talking about the IT boom in India. Every state government is working on inviting foriegn companys to start venture in their state.

Student are happy to get a job imm. after graduation, to earn their own packet money. Parent are happy to know that their son/daughter are earning more than what they have earned during retirement.

When you see this industry from outside, it will blossom with light breeze. It is decorated with bright colors & fancy glasses and you love to be with this for a long time. But when you are in, you are like an elephant that got in a trap hole.

How many of us have a courage to look into the dark side of this Industry? Let me try to list few
1) You are earning more than what you expect from day one. Probability of you developing bad habits are high because of your stress in office and your earning power. Staying away from home also adds fuel to fire.

2) Your expense habit increase because of usage of credit cards. Now-a-days, all banks offer you credit card with attractive limit and free for life time. It means, you are also be trapped by banks.

3) Not only credit cards, banks are offering glamours rates on loans for Houses, Cars, Personal Loan. It all pulls you deep into the sea so that you wont come out with flesh.

4) Because of late night work, you travel back home at hard hours. No matter whehter you are a male or a female, it sends invitation for robbery and all other anti-social activities.

Still, this industry is attractive and have the same glamour as before. It is up to each individual to decide on what they want to be.

Real Meaning for life...

How many of you have the habit of saying "Hai" to the visitor/relative of our neighbours?

How many of you really mean to ask "How are you?"? Infact, you are asking this to everyone you meet in office. We never bother to wait for thier response.

But when I went to meet my wife's grandpa, who is getting treated for his mild throat cancer in "Aringar Anna Cancer Institute" near Kanchipuram last Sunday, everyone greeted me with pleasure. Ironically, I don't know anybody even our grandpa didn't know anybody before they met each other in this hospital.

All fall under the age group of 75 and above, whom we call as "Perusuka". They all knew that they might have already started counting their days, but they learnt to lead a happy life. They share every happy moments with each other. They are carying the value of Indian Culture themselves and defining the mean for living. I am afraid we might loss them after their days.

Can't we carry the torch for rest of our life?

Found answers myself....

When I was young, I used to have lot of unanswered question about being lonely. how people can stay alone at home without a company? How can they stay without talking to someone? or without seeing human faces?

I thought that if I am in that position, I would become mentally distrubed, can't live anymore and become mad.

Things have changed drastically and the life forced me to accept the loneliness. Finally, I am at staying at home alone for more than 50 days now and I know I should alone for at least next 3 -4 months. Ironically, I am leading my life with lot of expectations, thinking of how should I react to that magically moment. :)

What made the difference? What made my life interesting while I am alone?

I found the answer by being in that position.

If your own expectations forced you to be at a position that you don't like, you will start loving it...You will enjoy each moment being in that position...

or

If you are forced to be in a position that you don't like, for a reason that you like, you will accept it with all hands, heart open...

I am not an exception...

Whenever you think of "Whatz Next" as a bachler, "Marriage" will be one of your agenda. If you say "No", then you might be a GOD :). I am not an exception for this.

As a family man, if you think, you can have a good break on weekends and can find enough time to spend with your family. I am sorry to say this, you are dreaming too much.

Now your parents expect you to attend functions, get to-gethers, take care of visiting friends/relatives. Your wife expects you to take her out for movie, shopping, etc... Don't forget the pressure from your in-laws. Friends expect us to spend sometime with them always. Since, we don't have time to manage all these during weekdays, we schedule it for weekends. We might need more than 48 hours for Weekends and our watch should run in slow-motion.

No one bothers you, when you are bachler. Also, nobody says "No" to marriage proposal knowing all these trouble.

Being a husband, father & friend, it gives lot of pleasure and everyone enjoys the responsibility and don't worry about the above pressures and I am not an exception...:)

Should I cry or laugh???

It took so long for me to host a blogging website. But day after it was launched, all the blogging websites were banned here.

I am not criticising the ban imposed. I dont know whether I should laugh or cry thinging of my fate...

Expectations Vs Reality

Whenever I expect something, I don't forget to remember the golden lines of an old Tamil Movie "Neenaipathu yellam Nadanthu Vittal, theivam yethum illai..." It means "If all our expectations come true in life, then there is no need of a GOD..."

By the above statement, I didn't say that having expectations are sin. Without expectations, one can't set personal goals to acheive. Without goals, the life will not be interesting and will be monotanous. You will fail have the killer instinct to acheive more. So, expectations and goals setting should be part of our life style.

Please remember that one's life is a road between his birth and death. It will be plain and smooth, sometimes with lot of ups and downs. So, please be prepared to travel on any roads.

Whenever you failed to acheive goals or your expectations failed, your reaction shows your level of maturity and your personality. Always have a "Plan B" to execute.

A deserved break...we made it bad...

At work, we used to have a monthly releases and that doesn't give any time to breath between releases. By the time we realize that a release is over, we have to turn our attention to the next release.

We have just completed our July Release and thought of going for a movie to relax ourself. Since the decision was taken at the last minute, we were not able to gather all 10 of my teammates. Anyways, 7 is not a bad number.

After failing to get tickets for "23th Pulicasi" we managed to get the tickets for "Acharya" in Devi Kala. The story was all about a Acharya boy who struggled to live his life after losing both his parents. The first punch of the movie was impressive and was moving at a lighthing speed until the interval break. The director comproised a lot on the story and screenplay to finish the movie in given time.

No strong story line to support "Thevar" decision to support the police during encounter, the death of the heroine and the Kanja Karuppu. The heroine, as a policewomen, is a bad choice. The music looks good but lacks variety.

I am human and dont want to be...

It is human mind that has lot of enthusiasm when something is new and fresh. When time passes, the samething fails to get his/her attention.

I am not an exception for this. Whenever my dad presents me a yearly dairy for New Year, I used to make a commitment of writing my day-to-day activities/expenses without fail. I hardly crossed March.

Now, blogging got my glamour but don't want to be another dairy of mine. I would like to break the above rule and try to maintain it for a longer period.

I can promise you all that me2atblog will be a clone of my mind.

I reached here finally....

Hi All,

I am very much excited to write my first ever blog. When I am typing this, my subconsious mind is asking me "Why so long?".

I tried hard to find an answer. Whenever I read others blog, I think of owning one but never gave a try.

May be I was afraid of criticism. Now I am matured to accept and handle it.
