ANANDATHANDAVAM

I went to the movie willing myself to like it (as I was going to the film against the opinion of several friends who were quite sure the movie was bad)and almost managed to convince myself the film was good until 20 minutes into the movie.Tamanah is one of my favourite actress but her character which was supposed to be innocent wide eyed wonder,turned out to be a cross between stupid and innocence neither endearing nor acceptable only ended up being irritating.The hero's body language never seems to potray the anguish he feels over his lover choosing another man over him for marriage and his reluctance in letting her go.He just talks to her as if it is a duty.Rukmini the other heroine had good expressions and looked beautiful,but the awful story sequence and the dialogues were irritant.Sterotypes were reinforced as how an indian should feel in america and a potrayal of all the recent controversies such as school shootings ended up confusing the viewer about the point of all this ,when the hero was supposed to be in america trying to bounce back in life and at first sign of trouble decides to go back.To think this was adapted from a sujatha's novel is comical.

REVELING IN COMFORT ZONE

I am writing this at late night ,frustrated and happy at the thought I am doing nothing.Irritation is creeping over me in floods ,starting from my class which I whiled away playing games .But things are not looking up and I am in cross roads ,not being able to make up my mind what to do ,happily repeating the same thing(reading meg cabot mediator series ,,surfing the net) again and again both joyous and frustrated.I cannot snap out of this unless I face a dire situation ,like if there is a test tomorrow that I have to pass and I am happy to have scrapped anonymously and finding a reply to it from my secret crush.WHY CANT I CHANGE MYSELF? The reason is I am averse to change but somehow I should try to prove myself to either me or the world that I can be competitive ,but at the rating at i am going ,I will be happily sad that I will fail rejoicing at the failure and feeling the pain.
