Kasappu Inippu - Review


 I'm not so much of a critic and was never an ardent fan of Short films. Ive seen many but only a few have amused me. Having the Lead Character as my team-lead at work, I was invited for a Short Film Preview screening in AVM Studios." Kasappu Inippu (Bitter-Sweet) " as it is named, is a story comparing two couples and the way they handle problems in Love.Beautifully crafted in terms of Screenplay, the film which runs for about 10 mins, starts in a coffee shop, with the first couple parting each other which is then followed by the second couple handling their problems casually. Both the couple have done exceedingly well, in terms of acting and was so lively. I'm not so much into Technical stuffs on Films but the camera angles and editing were perfect adding emotions and an overall feel. It was a feel good movie which doesn't say a lot about the dos and dont's of Love though portrays a situation which everyone feels on . when asked on    what was the inspiration for the making, the director replied that, he was inspired b the words of a famous cartoonist; during hard times when a happy moment arrives, we overlook the happiness and would be dragged into the sadness that exists, and that's Bitter-Sweet.

Managing Apps

I have become a real appaholic since I got the Iphone 4 and daily free apps makes me spoilt for choice. One wrong move or decision on not downloading that app that time, may result in lifelong regrets.. So everyday I get some time before starting for office and my webbrowser gets filled with tabs of various app-blogs and gizmo sites. Pity that some say the truth while some dont. when you search for those apps in the indian market, it says otherwise. Having an app in the US appstore for free and not in India.. Now THATS racism.

Idiots Idiots Idiots

 I witnessed this Incident a couple of months back. It was the Last day of my exams and I was returning home with two of my friends along with the driver driving the car. On taking a detour thinking we could avoid the 8 O'clock Traffic we ended up in a Stand-still Traffic Jam. We saw a Benz crawling to the side of us and came to a halt. Chauffeur driven, It had a guy in French Beard at the back. Probably in his forties this guy was in his formal shirt tucked in his pants and should definitely be one of the Chennai millionaires. He got down from his car, and was cursing "Idiots,Idiots,Idiots". Obviously I was quite startled. I began cursing him  myself, thinking this is the problem with rich men. They blame People for the miseries happening to them but wont take a step forward to resolve. But to my surprise, I found him diverting and controlling the traffic a few cars ahead. Its not everyday you see someone rich controlling traffic on Chennai roads .I was really surprised and felt quite guilty for my presumption . Even though his car got way and passed the traffic, he asked the driver to wait for him on the side of the road and left the place only after the Traffic was manageable. Now that's some true social responsibility.
