A very different story. If you had been expecting some College rowdies, useless songs and ragging, students threatening lecturers in this ‘College Movie’ you will be in for a surprise. The film is very different from that.It is quite serious and worth watching. Arya has done quite well in this movie and so has Sonia agarwal. All old classmates plan to meet after a few years at a single place. Arya one of them comes there buy is mentally challenged due to some incident. His friends try to revive him and on the advice of the doctor, they try to …

It was one of the most anticipated movie by experts of the film industry and it did not fail to impress. The movie is a must see and you will not regret having seen it. The movie starts off at full speed and you start to long that the tempo should be maintained till the end of the film. The first half goes with the same tempo and you are now hoping and even praying that the second half does not slow down. It doesn’t but at the middle of the second half the film slows down, rather it becomes …

Surya sets again on a unique venture. If you did know that he directed ‘Kushi’, ‘Vaali’ and ‘New’, you must be well aware that he does things a bit different from others and that is what happens in ‘Anbe Aruyirae’ – referred as AA here after. The first unique thing is that the name was chosen by public. Then the fact that Surya tells the story up front even before the film begins. And that this is a unique story – not even heard about before. Throughout the film, you are reminded of the ‘Surya Style Dialogue Delivery’ that was …

Please go through Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 before reading this. Why would you want to know all about the Stock market? Why the hell are people desperate to understand its functioning. There is just one answer “To make money”. You and I are here to get some profit from it. If anyone wants to know the market, because he thinks it is fun, Goodbye to him. You are better served at the Casino. Stock market and trading are serious business. They are not joke or fun or something like riding a roller coaster. We are putting our hard earned …
Continue readingStocks – Lesson 2
As we saw in Lesson No. 1, shares that are initially launched as IPOs eventually find their way to the secondary market (the BSE or the NSE). It is like an auction place for the shares, those who have the shares tell an ‘ask’ price at which they will sell the share and those who want it will have a ‘bid’ price at which they would like to buy the share. If you had happened to see some news clips, you can find the BSE something like a local fish market with everyone yelling and running around. Why can’t they …

hat better time to talk of shares than now with the Sensex hitting all time high and the bulls are having fun at the Dalal Street.This is how most of the articles begin when they want to educate people on stocks and shares and eventually those who came to read will feel that it is not for them and flee from the place. So I thought I would do it a bit different and see if that helps. If you are one who had always wanted to know what stock market is and what they sell there or if you …

Producer AM Rathnam should be praised for choosing an apt movie for his son that does not highlight the weaknesses of Ravi Krishna. ‘Radha mohan’ who directed the ‘Azhagiya Theeyae’ does another spectacular work in this movie. Vidhyasagar’s melodies have come out really well. Revathy, Prakash Raj and Gopika have done exceedingly well in the roles given to them. As usual Ravi Krishna though does a good job, misses out on a golden opportunity of an award winning performance. Dialogues are of the top notch from Viji. Now to the story..Venu (Ravi Krishna) is a middle class boy who lives …
Continue readingChristianity and Christians
Kamal hassan came up with a brilliant and beautiful film called ‘Anbe Shivam’. The film conveys a simple message – ‘Love is God’. We are brought up as Christians, or Hindus or whatever for that matter. If all the religions teach us to love each other, to do good things, then why come we have so many religions out there and how easily we differentiate them. Christians go to church every sunday. Hindus offer poojas, they have a strong belief in ‘Horoscopes’. Muslims give namas thrice a day. Their life time ambition is to visit the holy place called Mecca. …

As of this writing India is populated with 1533701675 individuals. Though India is quite a big country, the surging population will render the real estate costs on the higher side year after year. One often hears that a plot (site) purchased a few years back for say 65000 is now selling at 2.5 Lakhs and so on. In most cases property appreciation is in the order of 40-100%. That is enormous considering the fact that the very risky stock markets also cannot give such returns on a regular basis. The risk involved is very less as a carefully chosen property …

A TV anchor meets a couple and the first question she asks is “Was yours a love marriage?” and the couple somehow feel bad saying that theirs was arranged. It doesn’t sound nice. And you should see the pride in the couple that say the other answer. For many the fundamental problem in life is ‘Should I marry the girl my parent choose’ or ‘should I love someone and marry him/her’. Somehow pride is attached with love, especially during the college days. A Boy feels proud to say that a girl is in love with him and the same holds …
