Crazy Night


 

Awe....

'Awe' written over a storm in a teacup.... rightly justifies the refreshing thriller that the movie has been... More than anything, the characters are molded so well and the director has played to the strengths of each of the actors while portraying their respective roles.... The casting team need a special mention!! A good watch!! More power to such entertaining cinema that requires the audiences to carry their brains as well as their artistic eye while walking into the theatres...

Valentine


 

Priya Varrier

The first thing that came to mind after watching the clip is to check whether I could do it... I have been largely handicapped in this regard. Animated impromptu emotions are my forte (the random clicks say it all). Subtle expressions and dance-y movements have never been easy for me. I envy as well as appreciate the people who can do those effortlessly. Priya Prakash Varrier has nailed the eyebrow gesture to perfection...

Secret Message

There is a secret message in the way people treat you..... Read the status of a friend... Sent a 'Thumbs up' in reply... However, the gyan only got a chance to sink into my mind after experiencing it....
Extending it further.... They either show you your value or your place through the treatment meted. When in good terms, we tend to consider every which way to be an illustration of our worth and while in a negative frame of mind, receive it to be putting the wobbly peg back in the intended position. It's just a matter of perception contrived depending on our situation and attitude. However, being reasonable, neither the treatment nor the perception truly matter when we maintain a balanced perspective and not get carried away by the actions or the unmentioned dealings of others... Read it, smile and push the message to the 'unread' folder!!

The Roller Coaster Ride of 13 Insane Years....

After 13 years of courtship,
I've lost a precious friendship!!
The person who then meant the world to me,
From him, all I want today is to be again 'me'!

I was that timid and shivering creature,
With a shy, silent and sensitive nature.
Wear and tear of life took away my confidence,
And the people around took advantage of my meekness.

As I even struggled to put my words together,
He spoke with regard for me and patted my shoulder.
When everyone could only comment on my broad forehead,
He has seen that every inch of my soul felt complimented!!

He stood beside me when I cooked,
Gently pushed the hair behind my ears.
Had long discussions sleeping on my bed,
And slowly calmed down all my fears.

We walked hand-in-hand to every place I could imagine,
Gave me liberty in every possible way, without any bargain.
Whenever I displayed my attitude or threw fancy tantrums,
His calm and composed reaction would melt me down into tears.

He let me be myself,
Made me realize my inner-self..
At every possible instance,
He ensured that I took a stance.

The warm embrace brushed away all my anxiety,
The kisses on the forehead shooed away fright in it's entirety.
I surrendered myself to his endearment and amiability,
And started loving all the aspects of his personality.

He showed me my strengths and vision,
Encouraged me to pursue my passion,
He inspired me to speak my mind,
And let my imagination get wild...

But, everything evaporated in a matter of few years' time
Mutual respect grew into sarcasm and then into public abuses
Conversations became arguments and verbal wars real-time,
Nights are the times for mud-slinging followed by loud snores.

The bitterness just grew into animosity,
All I want now is to digest some dose of reality,
After thirteen years of observing his transformation,
I think separation is the best solution!!

What about the wedding vows we made??
How about the nest that we have created??
Should I be gratuitous for the good old times?
And bear with the present as a phase that would pass?

The beginning has been humble,
But the years added multiple complexities,
Let the time itself resolve the trouble,
Could we be BFFs again or merely one of those annoying couples...
