Recent Attractions-Malayalam movies.

As a result of being vetti for so long(porandhadhula irundhe apdithan),Ive come across few interesting things in recent past...

first one malayalam movies...

Dont think I know malayalam.Then u could ask how I could understand those movies?...I also had the same doubt(ennamo engilipees padam mattum full-a velangi paakura maari..ellam oru kuthu madhippa purinjukka vendiyadhuthan!).But after watching the movies i understood that there is no big difference between Tamil and Malayalam.The malayalam movies that I saw are mainly mohan lals movies like kilukkam,bharatham,sanmasullaaruku samadhanam etc and few cult classics like elipathayam!

regarding those Lal movies...especially kilukkam...the comic sense of Lal and jagathy srikumar is just awesome.This man jagathy srikumar is non-stop riot..completely hilarious...I watched certain scenes of kilukkam over and over and enjoyed the scenes!
Bharatham is a completely different movie with some heavy melodrama...I havent seen such an "underplay" in any other movie....but I also felt "why did he act like this...any normal man would react more than this at that situation"at certain scenes..anyway thats typical lal style of being verrrrrrry subtle.remember he got national award for this movie!

elipathayam(by adoor gopalakrishnan) - I already knew the story and read abt "why the movie is soooo great?"...so while watching the movie Im not wondered by the scenes that are meant to be wondered!but onething,the acting is too slow at times...if u watch the movie u would understand!in a scene the protagonist will take 1 min for his hand to reach his "meesai" to dye that!is it deliberate or what?...anyway as they all call ...its a classic(edhukku vambu...nammalum accept pannidalam hehe).just kidding...u would love the concept if u dint read it before!

Its good to watch malayalam movies as they mostly dont make us to read subtitles...normally they are understandable!then the locations-heavenly!wherever u place the camera in kerala...thats a beauty(I meant the nature...romba yosikaadheenga).

Is Cricket a boring game?

I have heard people say "cricket ...sema bore...football maadhiri varadhu"..especially they did during football worldcup time(indha maadhiri pesuna paadhi perukku ronaldo,becham,ronaldino thavira foot balla-la vera endha naayayum theriyadhu)...they would have started watching foot ball only during that time...urudhiya soldren...indha maadhiri pesura paadhi naaikku football rules eduvum clear-a theriyadhu...chumma scene poda vendiyadhu...orkutla yedhavadhu pEr theriyadha photo vechukka vendiyadhu...becham commoonitila sera vendiyadhu...ipdi oorupatta scene...shabbaaaaaaaaa

Ive loved just one thing in that football world cup...zidane....i expected him to lift worldcup :)

let me ask one question to them

1.tell me one game other than cricket which entertains people completely for 8 to 9 hours greatly..one game!(that too we watch test match for 5 days)

2.i accept football is interestin...but is it possible to watch a match for 8 to 9 hours if it is played(it cant be as the players would have been exhausted after 1.5 hours)

scene podalam....adhukaga cricket-a mattam thata koodadhu..especially during sachin's era :)

7.namma kaatula - pattiyal

A fast number from pattiyal.Ilayarajas voice made it hear too good.

Is English New Year Really a New Year - Importance Of Tamil New Year

started this blog on the ENGLISH new year day.Lets see whether English new year is exactly a new year.

English new year is not exactly a new year.while Tamil new year is perfectly a new year..how?..lets see

[thanks to virarajendar and sudhaama sir of hub for providing many information]

Lets look at the perfect Tamil calender :

Earth rotates the sun in an elliptical path through 360 degress.The circumference is divided into 12 arcs ...30 degrees each(these 12 houses are called raasis ...these mesham,rishabam etc).The period the earth takes in each house is called a month.The names of the months are named after the star which coincides in the full moon day of each month.

now the important thing is we have about 29-32 days in each month in tamil calender because the orbit is not circular..its elliptical..so the time varies.Thats why weve got no extra days for a month in leap year etc...days are calculated exactly for each month and so there is no need for a leep year(like english new year) because in tamil new year the earth completes the 360 degrees exactly which is not the truth in english new year!

Comedies in English new year

first of all during english new year the Earth dint complete its rotation fully.Its incomplete...this incompleteness is filled once in four years by adding a day to february as leap year. Because they give constant dates 30 and 31 to each month which is not accurate.so that gap is filled with the 29th february of leap year.

next thing their start for each day is starting at the midnight of previous day...while in Tamil calender the day begins exactly during sunrise!

this is scientific point of view!

now astrological point of view (for believers ...hehe)

Astrologically speaking...on April-14th...the planet Sun changes House from Meenam the Guru's own House ...to the next House, Mesham, the Sun's exaltment(Uccha) House. Both the Planets Guru(Jupiter) and Soorya(Sun) are the most important planets to render Success in ones Life according to astrology. So the influence of both these Good planets will be available to us in our success as per astrology.

some tit-bits:

~Tamil calender is the calender based on SUN as for us SUN is the prime GOD.thats why we have marriages in tamilnadu held on morning with the presence of SUN.

(It is adopted by malayalese and begalis)

~importance is also given to moons rotation around earth as we name the months after the stars coinciding on each full moon day

~Telugus,kannadigas and north Indians except bengalis calender is based on moons rotation! (note that their marriages held on nights)

thats it!

just thought of posting the significance of tamil new year which is so perfect than the vague english calender!

This is new year day...adhan new year pathi...hehe

thank u
vicki

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
