I was so bored today that I searched for a topic to scribble about in my Blog. This topic under Indiblogger kind of looked like a fun topic to write about. So here is my take on it.

Well I for one feel that, as a Human everybody has both Good and Bad qualities in them. As we all love to break the rules, the bad things (as labelled by society) always amuses us.

The world we live in is so cruel that all our acts are looked upon, tagged , stereotyped and labelled as either good/bad.

But in the End, its upon oneself to think about others opinions or let it go.

Why ask for others opinions when it doesn’t even matter?

Define your own definitions of Good and Bad and Be yourself.

As everyone at some point of their life does at least one BAD thing, the below picture does hold true 😛

Predestination – Let’s get mind fucked

predestination

predestination

Predestination is a recently released English Sci fi film staring my favorite Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook in the lead.

This is an incredibly crafted creative film which contains all the aspects of a Sci fi thriller. This predominantly deals with time travel and the twist at the end will leave you mind fucked.

The spierig brothers have done a great job with directing such a unique film.  The acting from the leads were top notch. The story is original and unique and Climax is breathtaking.

This is a treat to science fiction fans. Time travel movies can sometimes be boring with multiple loopholes and defying logics.  But this one is beautifully narrated and that makes it a must watch in my list.

My Verdict : 4.5 out of 5 stars (4.5 / 5)

One among the top ten movies in 2014!!

Jessabelle – Movie Review

Jessabelle

Jessabelle

Jessabelle is a recently released English feature film under genre Horror. It has Sarah as its star cast who played a memorable role in the film Predestination.

It follows the similar formula of horror films and much used cliches to scare the audience.    Story is okayish but the screenplay is disappointing. The movie tries to end on a high note similar to Skeleton Key but fails miserably at it.

The acting is good but overall the movie misses something which makes it a below average one.

Verdict 1.5 out of 5 stars (1.5 / 5)

Watch it if you are bored and got nothing else to watch.

It was a Saturday evening and our hero was roaming with his friends in a nearby shopping mall. It was their routine every weekend to visit the mall to kill the time by window shopping and sightseeing beautiful girls who visit the mall.

That day was a special one.  Our hero like always went to the mall in his  Kakhi shorts with a casual graphic v neck tee with wordings “YES BABY I AM ALL YOURS”  with a matching flip-flop sporting a stubble. He was sitting with his friends opposite to McDonald’s as many people cross that place to the elevators.

Suddenly his eye catches a beautiful girl who was walking with her friends giggling about something. He looks at his friends and every single one of them was looking at the same girl with awe. He shouted guys she is mine I have finally fell in love and it’s true love.  His friends made fun of him.  But our hero said wait let me go and propose. All guys again made fun of him.  Our hero took all that as motivation and followed the girl.  She went into mochi and her friends were trying various footwear. Our hero took the courage and said Hi.  She turned back and responded WHO ARE YOU?.  Then he introduced himself. She said SO WHAT DO YOU WANT? .  Our hero said YOU ARE LOOKING SO PRETTY I THINK I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE. she immediately replied WELL I DON’T DATE CAVEMEN.

Our hero was ashamed and went home sadly.  Even consolations from friends didn’t help him to forget that incident. Days passed and our hero went to movie with his friends for a night show.  So he came directly from office.  Due to his strict manager he used to go clean shaved with tucked in shirts with a complete professional attire.

During the interval he came out to buy popcorn and Pepsi for himself and the gang.  And then an angelic voice asks him HELLO DO I KNOW YOU? Our hero turns back to see where it came from.  It was that same girl from the past whom he fell in love at the first sight. He smiled back and answered YES I AM THE CAVEMAN.  She replied WOW YOU ARE DASHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THAT DAY. Both laughed at that and had a small chat and shared their mobile numbers.  And the rest in history.

Uncle Uncle

Sharing is Caring !!

It was four years back when I was doing my third year in college. It was semester holidays in November and our college gang decided to go on trip down south for a few days. Upon multiple discussions most of them agreed to it. It was finally decided as a trip to Munnar in Kerala as one of our gang member’s family had a resort there. So to reduce the expenses and to also enjoy the scenic beauty of God’s Own country we started the Journey.

We went by train and then took a cab to the resort. We were welcomed warmly by our friends family and then began the picnic. We freshened ourselves and took appam with kadala curry as breakfast and went to nearby waterfalls in a taxi. After taking bath in batches in the waterfalls and playing nonstop in the water we sat down in a tea stall nearby for some time off.

There came a cheerful family with a naughty kid who wasn’t obeying his parents commands and running here and there. All of a sudden he ran into me and made my tea fall all over me. His mother came rushing to give two slaps and I stopped it saying it’s fine. And then to my shock the lady told to her kid “SAY SORRY TO THAT UNCLE” . And the kid also did the same. All my friends burst out laughing and started teasing me UNCLE for some time.

It was weird for me as I was just twenty and already people started calling me uncle. And then I looked my reflection in my mobile. I was too lazy to even shave and followed the No shave November moment. Then I realized beard and being unshaven isn’t cool and it will only make you look more mature and old. From then onwards I always take some time to shave regularly and it has boosted my confidence too.

My Ultimate Dream Destination

by 27 Comments

Sharing is Caring !!

Its a gloomy morning after christmas, 26th of December . I wake myself up immediately when the alarm buzzes at 4:30 am. I get ready so fast as I was filled with too much excitement as I am finally stepping outside of India, to my dream destination. I go as early as possible to the airport, completing the hugging formalities with family after double checking the luggage’s as it is going to be trip of around 3 days in solitude.

I rush into the counter in airport to check in the luggage and get my boarding pass. Then I sat down in the waiting lounge eagerly thinking about all the adventures which awaits me in the destination. The wait elongated due to the long journey. It was an Air Asia flight with 1 stop at Kula lampur. The four hour journey to Kula Lumpur went in dreams with superb hospitality. The seven hour wait between connecting planes was excruciating. I tried to watch a movie in my iPad. As I couldn’t concentrate fully on it, I switched to music and played some games to keep myself busy during waiting hours.  Then the announcement came and its time to board the flight without any stops to my ultimate dream destination. I ran through the gates and sat at the window seat allocated to me. Took a nice little nap in the comfort of  cushions. It was 27th December morning around 9:30 AM, the flight landed on the ground, I jumped out of the seat and got down from the flight to keep my foot on MELBOURNE just like a Superstar 😛

kochadaiiyaan

Then began the most wonderful 3 days of my life.

I kept my luggage, got little freshened up and completed my breakfast at the Holiday Inn nearby the airport. I wanted to begin my journey by getting some history lessons about the Amazing Australia. So I headed to the Melbourne Museum which helped me gain knowledge about the history, Indigenous cultures, science and the environment about AUSTRALIA. The Forest gallery had amazing living creatures like kolo and the skeletons of dinosaur just reminded me of the movie “Night at the Museum” 😛 . I wandered into the Mind exhibition. It was such an unique experience with so much emotions and memories. After these rides, to relax a bit, I rested myself at the Museum cafe and had a sip of coffee.

Being alone, I joined in a conversation with a group of people at the cafe. They were also tourists and they came all the way from UK. They were planning to take a bicycle tour near Swanston Street & ST Kilda road as their next stop. I too joined them. The place is full of architecture marvels. The street arts, the public arts, all the buildings just looked like a wonder to me. It was so amazing. We took groupfies , selfies and so many photos to fill our memory cards. After spending the day enjoying the architecture wonders, the heritage and wildlife, we went to the pub called ‘The Standard’ and had a delicious dinner and parted ways.

After a decent enough sleep, it was day two of my adventure. As it was a Sunday, I started my day by going to the cathedrals and visited few churches also on the way. Then I dedicated this day to perform some outdoor and leisure activities. I went to Commando Skydivers to do what I dreamed I would do. Yes I did the Skydiving. The adrenaline rush was awesome. To keep the excitement going, I followed it up with the Balloon flight. It was wonderful to fly in a hot air balloon. The views were breathtaking. Later I went to Luna Park and Watermarc to get amused from these amazing amusement parks. The roller coaster ride was a legendary one. The Usage of trams to travel was a new experience for me as its non existent in where I come from. After a tiring day of adventure, I ended my day with an Australian BBQ. After a tummy full of delight, I went to bed looking at the pictures I captured the whole day.

Day 3 began with me going to the Yarra valley to experience the finest Vineyard in Melbourne. The wine tasted like honey and I couldn’t control myself from buying one 😀 . Even though it was only 3 days, I felt like I was missing my home food. So I searched in Google for some Indian restaurants near by. I was so surprised to find so many Indian restaurants. I went to the ‘Biryani House’ and got myself a yummy tasty biryani. Its was time to visit the penguins at the Philips Island. The Penguins were so lively and the parade is not a thing to miss during the visit. Coming from India, where cricket is a religion, How can I miss the MCG? On my way to Great Ocean road, I visited the MCG & its Museum to take some snaps. Then I went to Great Ocean road to take a peaceful short walk. The rocks and the settings were so picturesque which made me take so many snaps. As it was my last day, I had a lot of shopping to do. So I had to rush into Queen Victoria Market and The Rose St. Artists’ Market. I shopped so many things to fill my baggage. I even bought multiple Vinyl records which my dad loves.While shopping, I saw a sign in nearby salon  “Free beer with haircut”. So I took it as a souvenir and had a hair cut in Melbourne 🙂

I took the tram one last time and then a cab on my way to airport. All through my flight journey back home, I was going through the pictures to cherish the plethora of memories I gathered in these 3 days short trip.

Why it is my Ultimate Dream Destination?

I would take some time to explain why Melbourne is my Ultimate dream destination.

My Stand on Pre Marital Sex

by Leave a Comment

Sharing is Caring !!

Ever since this topic has been listed as a contest in Indiblogger, there has been a heated debate in the forum about how controversial the subject is and the views of many of them seems to vary from north to south pole. Even I did not want to take part in it as it seemed very controversial at first. As days went by I was thinking how INDIA which gave kamasutra to the world, and so many ancient temples which has exquisitely carved and crafted sculptures of sexual nature suddenly became a place where even speaking about sex and related things became a taboo. So here I am sharing my views on this to the whole world.

Being a teen in my early twenties coming from a traditional south indian family, I couldnt conclude immediately to say whether its right or wrong to engage in pre marital sexual activities. Even though my mind said its wrong, heart couldn’t agree completely on it. So I started thinking about all the positivies and negatives to make a conclusion. So here are my findings.

Benefits of Sex:

Science has proved that sex can improve the Immune System , it can lower the blood pressure, Lowers Heart Attack Risk, counts as an excercise, improves sleep and eases stress. As Sex is a powerful brain stimulant, it can boost ones self-esteem and happiness too.

Now lets see how it fares when it happens pre maritally.

  1. It runs the risk of conceiving illegitimate children (Unwanted pregnancies).
  2. High risk of contracting one of the many venereal diseases such as STD etc.
  3. Usage of multiple contraceptive Pills can cause Infertility.
  4. Breakups become more hurtful and painful.
  5. Having sex at a young age without proper sexual education, can lead to potential dangers.
  6. It can arrest their psychological, social and academic development.
  7. Coming from a religious background its also considered a Sin.
  8. The worry about pregnancy & diseases.
  9. Feeling guilty.
  10. Having regrets.

When we compare the positives and negatives, the benefits do outweigh the negatives.

If Pre marital sex happens between adults with mutal consent and they practice ‘safe sex’ then its fine.

Sex is something which is a very private affair happening between two people. So either its pre or saving the virginity for marriage is their own decision to make. Finally they have to accept the decision and live by the consequences.

As far as I am concerned, I stand against it , as it doesnt comply by my own religious and moral values.

The Spark

Sharing is Caring !!

Kids are full of energy and always fun to be with. When they are part of something, the energy spreads across and cheers everyone surrounding them making it a happiest place on earth.

Let me take you back six years in time. It was just another normal evening in my home, I was playing counter strike in pc, and my sis and my mom were watching their favorite serials on TV. My dad just came from office and changed TV to boring news channel. After drinking some coffee he asked, as annual exams are ending in few weeks, where can we go for picnic? I shouted from computer room “ANDAMAN”. My sister wanted to go to Kerala. But as we went to Kerala earlier after a long discussion we concluded on Andaman. I was so excited. My dad booked flight next week. And finally the day of travel arrived.

The flight journey was enjoyable as the view from above was breathtaking. We got down at Port Blair airport and took a prepaid car to get to the hotel which we booked earlier. Later we checked in at the hotel. After an hour we got down to check out the beauty of Andaman and Nicobar islands. To our shock it was raining heavily. We asked the hotel manager about the nearby tourist attractions and when the rain will stop. He responded its Andaman and it rains every day in here. Our parents started discussing, how we will go in rain, already we have cold bla bla and finally agreed to go when the rain stops. So we waited at the hotel looking at the window. We were bored, sitting with gloomy face shuffling channels in TV. Suddenly voices of laughter came from the window. We looked outside to see what’s happening. There were a bunch of kids playing in the rain enjoying .

Looking at the innocent faces enjoying without a care in the world, just ignited a spark inside me. I shouted let’s get out; we came here not to sit and watch TV inside a room, let’s go and enjoy. And I pulled them out of bed and we went on a cruise to coral island that day. I let out the kid in me which made that a most memorable tour of my life.

We adults think too much and miss the fun in almost everything. Kids don’t expect anything, all they care is about having the best day every day. They add the magic to everything they are part of. The way they enjoy and show their amusement makes the onlookers catch some of the cheers and leaves a long lasting smile on them.

Road Safety – Be the Change

by Leave a Comment

Sharing is Caring !!

Road safety is one of the  major social concern in our country. India being the second largest road network in the world also accounts for 10 percent of fatal road accidents worldwide. And the social cost of these accidents in INDIA alone is expected as $11,000 USD. We lag behind the safety norms of international standards.

What is the cause of it?

We  humans take everything for granted and misuse it. We mostly don’t wear helmets while driving two wheelers. Even when its mandatory, we are okay with paying 50 to 100 rupee fine for not wearing it, as it will make our hair look unkempt/sweaty.

We don’t use subways and bridges to cross the road and instead walk into the traffic as we are always in a hurry.

We also use footpath to drive our two wheelers when in traffic because that saves us a lot of time.

And when we walk also, we walk in the middle of the road as footpaths are dirty and even shout at people who drive near us.

When it comes to driving a car, we don’t bother wearing the seat belt as its treated as a hindrance. We also proudly say ‘I don’t even wear seat belts in flights’

How do we fix this?

As Mahatma Gandhi said ‘Be the change you want to see in the world“, the responsibility lies with us. We must start to follow the rules and let go of the chalta hai attitude.

Our Government has taken multiple steps to up the safety norms but we still find loopholes in order to misuse it.

Rash Driving, not using proper safety measures can take life in an instant.  We only get one life and we must not waste it by our silly mistakes. When we drive, its not only our life , other drivers and pedestrians life is also in our hands. So we must take complete responsibilities while driving.

When I went for getting my license in RTO office, that day around 40 to 50 people came. But only few (around 10) were asked to drive bike and car in the morning. When I went to collect the printed license in the evening I saw around 30 people came for it. I asked a guy who came in the morning but dint drive anything, he replied with a bright smile “I have paid 1000 extra machi”.  He had this sense of superiority about himself being able to get the job done with bribing. These things leads to bad drivers, who doesn’t have any sense of road rules and regulations.

The road safety rules and regulations shouldn’t be taken lightly as its a matter of life and death. These laws are for our benefits. So as long as we obey it, we wont be needing luck to be on our side.

Few pointers from my side:

  • Start early so you don’t have to accelerate and do rash driving.
  • Slow and steady wins the race. Drive slowly and smoothly as long as you are not in a race 😛
  • Always check for safety measures while buying vehicles (such as airbags etc).
  • Keep safe distance from front vehicles.
  • Wear helmet always while driving two wheelers.
  • We wear belts to keep our pant intact, why not seat-belts to keep our life intact ? – wear them always.
  • Follow the lane while driving in highways.
  • Never drink and drive.
  • Use dim/dip lights in high way and night driving.
  • Stop using headphones and listening to songs while driving as its the only time to hear songs.
  • Stop answering calls and using mobile while driving.
  • Use Zebra crossing , subways and bridges when its available.
  • Obey the rules and follow the signals.

Your Life is in your hands, take good care of it by following these 🙂
