Missing College - renewing poetic license

Not that I was regular student, who got 95% attendance, like several of my friends... but whatever little I attended, and more so the thought of having to part with several of my college mates is making me more than just nostalgic...it is giving me a feeling of having lost something which will never return again in this life...

When I woke up this morning, I was bombarded with memories, which is quite rare in my case... perhaps I had a dream, where I was preparing to go to college...and when I awoke, it took me a few seconds to realize I have finished my college life..

I called a few of my close friends, but it was quite early in the morning (10 am) so only a few answered, but it was great talking to them.

I happened to meet my very good friend Ketan online, and asked him to transfer me a few pictures taken on the last day of college.

While the pictures were being downloaded, I read his blog, and was dumbfounded by his poetic skills, which was again a nostalgic journey for me, as I too was once taking the poetic route when for reasons unknown and quite unconsciously I shifted focus to prose.

I now feel like shifting back and renewing my poetic license, how else can I express what I feel about missing college, without using seemingly exaggerated language and out of the world figures of speech??

Beyond Nostalgia.... COMING SOON !!!

Mozhi - An exception to my conception of tamil cinema

In the very first few days of my landing here in coimbatore, I was made to watch a tamil film. It was a very bad CD, and more so, a very bad film, made by one of the persons in cinema, whom I very much respect. But the most surprising factor was the amount of commercial success, as well as public infatuation towards that kind of "formula" cinema.

Within a few days after that I watched a few similar films...and trust me I still cannot distinguish between them !

In a situation so pathetic, and so painful that I had come to hate tamil cinema from the" bottom of my bottom" ( a statement often used by my friend Clive), I happenned to watch a film that not only restored my belief in tamil cinema, but also made me salute the director and producer for daring to make such a film in the "formula" world of tamil cinema.

This film also restored my belief in tamil audience, who have made this film a commercial success.

The film which I am talking about is Mozhi (language). Directed by RadhaMohan and produced by Prakash Raj, it is truly a must watch.

Its a very light hearted film with great elements of ingeniuosly conceived comedy, which revolves around a musician falling in love with a deaf and mute girl, supported by his friend and her friend.

"Kaatrin mozhi..." is a beautiful song penned by Vairamuthu and set to tune by Vidyasagar, says language is no neccesity to live this life. Today where the world is heading towards a revolution in communication, the sharp irony of this song surely lingers in the minds of the viewers for quite a while.

A salute to Mr. RadhaMohan and Prakash Raj for this mind blowing effort.

Another thing that struck me in the movie is the video of the logo of duet movies. It can be interpretted in various ways, but simply put, its interesting.
