Appu's Song

It's time to write about my Lil one very naughty and cute and doesn't get scared to express what he thinks or feels.
He is in L.K.G., He is blessed with a good teacher who is very supportive and admiring in such a way the children are happy in school.

One day, this nice teacher asked my Lil one, Appu to sing rhymes in the classroom, and immediately he said, "My Mom doesn't want me to sing in school".

She was fine by the way he told her and passed it to the next child, she took them out to the playground. One boy asked her, "Can I dance?" the teacher said, "Yes".

That's it, Appu immediately stood up and started to sing and dance for, "Dandanakka nakka nakka".. teacher was shocked as he was so loud.  Children around him started to dance and sing the same.  The teacher soon controlled the kids and asked him not to sing that song, he looked at her for a sec and said, "Ok!" and changed the song to "vaata karuvad.." Teacher could not control her laugh and had to immediately take them all back into the classroom before anyone notices.
When I picked him up she told me the above story and we both laughed.

"Puli" Trailer



All these criticism kindled my enthusiasm. OMG! Watching the trailer alone made me "A POET" . Super trailer! Lovely makeup! Wondering why Vijay is in police cut when rest of them are in ancient cut ;)

Glad to see SriDevi back in tamil films. I am a huge fan. I heard that she had her nosejob. Looks like the movie was taken before that.

Puli Trailer

I guess our "Illaiya Thalapthi" Vijay took a BIG leap from Tollywood to Hollywood.

Cannot wait to take my kids to this movie. I am sure they'll love it!!!

It's definitely"Maleficient" magnificient!!!

April 1st!


Everywhere someone is celebrating their birthday on this day. When I came to know how much embarrassment it causes to them I stopped paying attention to this long time ago.

I recall one of the incident happened in my college. Which was very funny. My friend who is a very good boy hardly plays prank on anybody decided to pull a prank on my friend on April 1st. My friend immediately said , " hey today is my dad's birthday." It was hard for him to believe. He thought she was fooling him and immediately responded, "oh yeah, he must celebrate his birthday today for having a fool as a daughter." It bothered him so much because she just ignored him after that.




 With guilt he asked me, "hey, do u know when is her dad's birthday ?" I told him,"on April 1st. Why?" Later he narrated the whole thing to me. I burst into laughter and told, "now u are the actual fool for not believing her!" .
I don't think he pulled a prank on anybody after this at least not us.

Why sandwich?!?


One day I was enjoying the Subway's  Tuna sandwich' after a long time. My daughter asked me, "Amma, What are you eating?". I said, "It's a sandwich. Do u want to try it?" She said, "No!" and few seconds later, "Amma, Why it's called a sandwich?". I was surprised by her question, because of all these days I never thought about it. I said, "I'll tell u after I finish it!". Simultaneously I googled, 'Why sandwich is called sandwich?' 


The story of sandwich:
It seems like John Montagu, 4th earl of sandwich was very hungry. He doesn't want to mess his hands while gambling and asked to serve meat in between 2 slices of bread. Since he had the title, 'Earl of sandwich' it got it's name.

P.S. The picture is my very own Tuna Sandwich

No peeking!

Thank you all for making me reach my 50th post.

I'm so glad that this is about my little girl, who surprises me everyday with her innovative 'good ideas' (that's how she'll start her conversation)

My five year old is ready to read on her own. So I thought I could teach her some simple words so that she can read her 'Dora' book.

Everyday I used to teach her 3 words and will make her write down in her notebook by looking at them. This was going for  a week. One day I thought of giving her a test.
So I taught the same words, which I taught her the previous day to her and made her write those words by looking at them. After that, I got her notebook and gave her a paper.

 I told her, "Kuttyma, ipo nee amma sonna words ezhuthanum, aanal paarkaama ezhuthanum!" She refused.

 I told her again, "Paaru amma vunnakku milk eduthuttu varaen athukullae nee 'This', 'That', 'Was' kku spelling ezhuthanum. Aanal paarkama ezhuthanum".

She said, "Oh no!".

I told her, "U have to!"

I went into the kitchen and got her milk. When I came back.  She was writing the words one above the other. I was puzzled and looked at her. She was closing her eyes while writing. Then I realised, when I said, "Paarkaama ezhuthanum!" she literally took the word for it. I couldn't control my laugh.

Forgotten or not known?

Recently, I watched "Aezham Arivu". It's really nice to see that a monk from India, that too from Tamil Nadu, travelled all across the country to China and is remembered by them ever since. In the beginning of the movie, people from TamilNadu and China are asked questions about 'Bodhi Dharman'.
Only the Chinese seemed to know him but all the Tamilians said, "Antha paeraiyae neenga solli thaan theriyum!".

In the climax, actor Surya blames all Tamilians for forgetting such an awesome monk.
My question to Director Murugadoss is, "It's really great to watch such a movie, nice effort and lovely direction. Congratulations!!! but why blame us?". It's like asking us, "Who is Zhang Ziyi?". (For those of you who don't know who is Zhang Ziyi - she is a chinese actress. Remember our "Paayum puli pathungum naagam"? ;))

Ofcourse we don't remember who is 'Bodhi Dharman' because we don't know him. How will we know him when he learns everything in our country and goes to another country then sacrifices his life for them? Did we forget our great kings, leaders and poets? Ofcourse we learn about them in our books and through our grandparents because they left their foot prints in our country and served our society. Now we teach our kids about them.

So I think it's better to stop blaming us for forgetting the 'monk' who did nothing to us.

Self Confidence!

  I recently had my c-section and delivered a beautiful or should I say handsome baby boy. Unfortunately my family could not come over to help me. My friend suggested me a Gujarati lady to help me around. She gave me her no:. I thought I could manage somehow without help and my husband took care of home for three weeks. After he went back to work I tried hard to do stuff all by myself but it was difficult. So one fine day I decided to call the lady.

She came home and I called my friend to help me with the language. Unfortunately the lady spoke only Gujarati and Hindi, except 'no' and 'OK' in English. To my surprise not even numbers. She know only 1-10 in English. Even the word 'Twenty-Five' was too complicated for her. I have to say '2' and '5' separately for $25.

She comes with her Sister-in-law to work. Since she comes along with her I thought she is helping her around with the language problem ofcourse she does, she is her chat partner. She sits there in the kitchen and while the other lady works. She doesn't even help her. That doesn't mean she is a 'mean' SIL, but a very business calculative people. Because for an hour it's $10 and if she helps her around she can complete the work within half-an-hour. Impressed!!!

U all know from my other post I don't speak Hindi. I can understand though! The funniest thing about me is I can read and write hindi very clearly because I have completed my Prathmic in 5th Std. Yes!

She came for the first time and understood I don't speak hindi  and to my surprise she told me, "I'll teach you hindi so u won't have any problems". It's kind of funny because she is in USA where people don't speak hindi, she doesn't know a word in English now she wants me to learn hindi to communicate with her. She must've understood those with the look I gave her so after 5 mins she told me "I'll teach u hindi and u teach me English". I said, 'Ok!'. She cooked and cleaned the whole place. She is so confident about her food, she said me not to worry about anything and leave the cooking to her. Believe it or not I understand the whole thing she spoke in hindi. I asked her to make Chappathi and Chenna.

As soon as she started, I couldn't resist it. The whole house is filled with the aroma of her cooking. She asked me to taste it. I loved it. The food spoke for her. No wonder she is so confident about her work. Without knowing a word in English, she is working in more than 3 houses in my neighborhood. After tasting her food and seeing her work I would definetly recommend to my friends around here. Now this I would call 'Self-Confidence'.

P.S., Now I'm communicating with her thru 'Google:Translate'. Trust me it works.

Error!

These days simple mistakes are the reason for breakups in many relationships.
Alexander Pope said , "To Error is Human to forgive is Divine".  My point is you don't have to be a divine to forgive everything, but be a human to understand that mistakes are part of your life.

Song!

           My daughter loves the song, "All the single ladies" by Beyonce'. She used to listen to it all the time. Whenever we travel in the car she always ask me to play the same song over and over till we reach the destination. She never saw that video. So yesterday while she was dancing to the you tube videos, I thought of playing this video. As soon as she heard. She came runnning to watch the video. I thought she will be happy but to my surprise she looked shocked. She turned to me and said, "Amma, they forgot to put their pants!!!"

Paati's Pancake!

         Reading a story at bedtime to my daughter has been a everynight routine in my family. Usually we used to read a story from a book. This time my husband thought of telling our famous, "Paati vadai sutta kathai" story. He is too tired to read a story from a book. The story begins with an unsual twist. In this story our paati is preparing pancakes. Since pancakes are my daughter's favourite. We used to call my daughter 'Kuttyma'. The story begins,

Appa : Once upon a time, there lived a paati, who makes the most delicious pancakes. One day a crow was sitting on a tree watching these pancakes. He was waiting for the right time to take a pancake from the paati.
Kuttyma : (Shocked!!)
Appa : (More interested in her response, continues with more suspense) The crow flew down , took the pancake and went back to his tree.
Kuttyma : So did the paati climbed the tree to get the pancake?
Appa :(Didnot expect this question, replied) No sweetie, how will the paati climb the tree. She is too old. So...
Kuttyma: She can use a ladder to climb the tree
Appa:  Illai kuttyma, the paati didnot get a ladder or the pancake. Now lets go to the story... Apuram....
Kuttyma: Appa wait wait, you don't know the story. Let me tell you what happened. Then the paati brought a ladder. She climbed the tree and got the pancake from the crow. Returned back to her home. The end.
Appa: ?!?

Engeyum Kaadhal!!!

Director    : Prabhu Deva
Actors      : 'Jayam' Ravi, Hansika Motwani
Producers : Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, Kalpathi S. Suresh
Music       : Harris Jeyaraj.

'Engeyum Kaadhal' , a movie starts with the director Prabhu Deva dancing for the title song. Apappo Prakash raj shows his face and gets insulted by the director saying, "You are not in this movie". I still wonder why?!?

Jeyam Ravi acts as a successful business man who enjoys his vacation once a year in Paris. By this time he enjoys beyond the limit with girls no matter whether they are single or committed. The director says that he can attract them by his charms.Seri!!!!

Now coming to the heroine. This girl looks so cute but she looks ridiculous when comes to acting. As per the movie she falls in love with the hero the very first time she looks at him. Her father is Suman. Being a love detective by profession, files a case on our hero. Heroine who is always curious about her father's investigations finds out that a comedian (who suspects our hero is his fiance's lover) plans to kill our hero. So she decides to save him. That's how they meet.  She develops friendship with him and loves him more after she finds him a good man at heart. Our director proves that to the heroine with the stunt masters. Since she understands that he is not interested in love and relationships, she plans to make him fall for her. Ta-dah, the story begins from there.

There are many stupid logic in this movie and one of them is, hero after such a long friendship with the heroine asks for her name only when he leaves back to India. Then he guesses her name as 'Lolita'. I wonder how he got that name for a tamil girl.

The only funniest and honest thing in this movie is, Jeyam Ravi accepting the fact, "Intha vulagathileyae enoda kural pidikumnu sonna motha ponnu nee thaan!".

Raju Sundaram comes as a comedian in this movie who is a very dearest friend of our hero. He has a worst sense of humor and his jokes are disgusting.

Somebody must have told Prabhu Deva that fat guys are funny. So he puts a fat guy in this movie who is a dearest friend of our heroine. This guy has a crush on her. Whenever he is upset with her he eats. All of a sudden he vanishes from this movie.

I really like the plot. But the execution of the story is a disaster.

Harish Jeyaraj is the only best thing in this movie.

After seeing this movie, I have only one question for Prabhu Deva, "Seriously?!?"

As a whole, "Engeyum Kaadhal!" is "Engeyum Waste!"

Pathinaaru - Tamil Movie

Life is getting busy for me these days. So no time for movies like before. After such a long time I saw the movie 'Pathinaaru'. That lead to the following review.



'Pathinaaru' is written and directed by D. Sabapathy and produced by A. Sivasankar. Hero of this movie, 'Mirchi' Shiva. As soon as I saw his name I was excited that it would be funny like  'Tamil Padam'. But R-ambam warned me in the beginning, "don't even think about it, it's no way closer to that movie". Seri apadi enna thaan irukkunnu started to watch that movie.

Ipo kathai ennana, asusual parents protesting the young lovers. When the couple gets ready to elope, heroine's mommy gives them a novel to read. Anga thaan flashback, how the story of young lovers turned into tragedy. The new couple are least bothered about the story but things get serious when the heroine knows that novel is the real story of her father's. Her father gives some advices about love. The heroine than gets ready to go to Australia for her higher studies even though she didnot finish her UG. The hero gets frustrated and tries to find out what exactly happened to her father's love. Then there is the climax.

A good usual message for the teenagers. Love doesn't go wrong when you pay more attention to your career and life. Surukama sollanumna, "Duty first Beauty next!".

 Story starts beautifully and ends beautifully. A wonderful screenplay and a good direction. Heroine 'Madhu Shalini' is looking cute but she thinks before her act. Each time she takes a big pause before the next scene. Shiva is good but it takes a little time to see him as a serious actor. Abhishek is well trained artist and his performance is good. This time the actress who plays a role of Abhishek's wife is better. I still don't know her name, I've seen her in lot of movies with 'no acting'. She is good looking, so she is perfect for the role of Heroine's Mom.

'Vinitha' who plays the role of young Ilavarasi has done a remarkable performance. Even though 'Kishore kumar' the young Gopi didnot have much things to do in the film he had done his best. Pandi as  'Sakkarai', proves himself as a good character artist.  Kasthuri in cameo appearance. Good to see her after a long time. The two kids who plays the role of Little Gopi and Little Ilavarasi has done a very good job. Especially I like when little Gopi  runs away from school crying, he is co cute.The choice on choosing the actors are very good.

The explanation for the title is also neat.

Yuvan Shankar Raja has done a good job in music.

Mothathil intha padam ellarum kudumbathoda votkarnthu paarkalam.

Padam paathavangalukku voru question :  They may give thousands of explanation for this, but Ilavarasi accepted to marry Sakkarai in the end. Apadi irukkum pothu Gopikku guilty feeling vara koodathu thaanae ? Suspense vodaikaama pathil sollunga.

Netflix

NETFLIX is a company that rents us some DVDs via post as well as some movies online.
We actually got a free one month trial through 'Papa John's', a pizza company. We got addicted to pizza as well as NETFLIX. This company not only gives us movie DVDs but it also gives some TV serials. My family, we used to watch some of the Television series in US. They are pretty awesome. Sometimes we miss the continuation because of our vacation. We used to catch up on this NETFLIX.
You may wonder, 'why so many 'build-up' on this company?'. 'Are they giving any sponsorship for this particular blogger?'.
I wish they could but I'm not earning a single cent because of this advertisement. All I got is 'four' free one-month trial on Netflix for my friends.
I thought I could give that to my readers who keeps my blog alive. I could give this opportunity only for people who resides in USA. For those outside USA, I feel terribly sorry to say Netflix doesnot stream.

I appreciate all my readers for spending their valuable time reading my blog. Thank you so much!

For those who want this one month free trial kindly mail me to the following id:
kirukalgalblog@rocketmail.com

I just need your e-mail id to mail the free trial code and no address or phone number required.

First Day!

Disney Ariel Backpack
 9.9.2010
      This day is one of the most important days of my life. My 3yr old daughter is ready for her school. The most expected little separation. She was excited but I was worried. Even though she speaks english, I don't know how she is going to manage in her school . I didn't sleep the night before her school. They had the full day school. It starts from 8:45 a.m. and closes at 2:35 p.m. I was worried a lot. She never had lunch with a stranger and she always came to me when she wants to sleep. I was very much tensed. Even though she was excited she doesn't know that I won't be there. So I started to prepare her before a week. I told her I cannot stay with her in school because I'm a big girl. She said, "Ok! Mommy" but still I was not convinced. What will my little one do without me for the first few months in her school.
   The day came, I woke up early and started to get ready. Prayed God to give her and also me strength for this little separation. I promised my husband I'll be fine and asked him to go to work. We went to school. We were seated in the auditorium, the vice principal gave many instructions and most importantly she asked the parents not to cry. "Experienced people!" I thought to myself. After getting her class room number I met her teacher. The most kind lady shook my girl's hand and gave her a gentle hug, made her sit next to her. She asked me to place her 'backpack' in one of the provided shelf. When I turned around I saw my daughter playing with the toys in the room. I thought may be she feels safe in my presence. I filled out some emergency telephone numbers and address in the given form. I gave it to the teacher , she immediately said you can leave because your daughter is not crying.
  I donot want to leave. I just wanted to make 100% sure that she is ok. I called her, to my surprise she said, "no!". I asked her, "Can amma go home?" she said , "Yes!, bye". I said to myself, "She may feel my absence during her lunch and nap!". I left the class room. I went home and saw the emptiness in my home. I missed her a lot. Thought for a reason to go back to school. Got it!. Went back to school with some of the supplies given in the form. Found her happily having lunch with other children.
This time I was not at all worried instead felt very happy to see the sweet smile on her face.

Now I am worried how to get her back to home ;)

Boycott Sri Lanka!

            I know the title sounds a bit 'terror' wait until you finish this blog, it's really a 'horror'.

            On July 3rd to 5th, We went to the Tamil Convention, FeTNA in Connecticut. It was awesome. Everyone who gave a speech mentioned about the 'Tamil Eelam' problem in Sri Lanka. Tamilians speaking about saving Tamilians is a known fact. It was a slap on my face only when Americans spoke about this problem. To my surprise, they are 'requesting' us to "Boycott" just by selling $1 Bumper Stickers , $10 T-Shirts and free post cards for this process.

            The speeches were given by,
             Dr. Francis Boyle, 
             Dr. Adele Barker and
             Dr. Ellyn Shander.


            The following link leads to their speeches.
              http://www.sivajitv.com/events/francis-boyle-speech-fetna-2010.htm
      
     I was ashamed. When they can do that, I wanted to do something. So I thought of spreading a word about this. That word is "Boycott". It's enough for us to stop buying the products 'Made from Sri Lanka'. I don't think that's difficult or is it?.

            If you are living in USA, you must have come across the following stores:

  • VICTORIA'S SECRET
  • MACY'S
  • GAP
  • Abercrombie & Fitch
  • AMERICAN EAGLE
  • KOHL'S
  • BANANA REPULIC
  • LiZ claiborne
  • Limited Brands
While you are shopping in those stores kindly look for the label. If it read, 'Made in Sri Lanka' please choose another one.
      I believe that one step can lead to another. We can save our people.

India's National Language ?!?

For all these years I used to think "Hindi is our National Language(In India)", that was they taught us in school too.
Since I'm from Tamil Nadu, we are not insisted much to speak in Hindi. But when I went to Bangalore for my College Project,  it became an issue. People started to ask about it. Some even tease ( Whether they know it or not) by saying, "How come you don't know your National Language?". I felt insulted.
Whether there are people to help or not, but I am sure there are people to insult.
In my daughter's dance class, parents are compelled to stay there while the child attends the class.
Parents are requested to sit in the visitor's room.
Most of the parents are from North India. Hindi is the common language among them. I do not want to go through this trouble again, so I used to read a novel while others chat.
Yesterday, it was different. Since the summer classes are going to be over, we were discussing about the regular classes. At that time we were talking in English and one mother asked me my mother tongue. I told her. Then, we started to talk about each others mother tongue. Guess what,  I discovered that there are people in North India who doesn't know hindi.
I was really surprised and thanked the mom who told me that she learned hindi only few years back. Another Mom came forward and said, "if you want I can teach you". After all these years as soon as I heard that, I immediately said, "Yes. Thank You".
I told this to my husband, who thought I wanted to learn Hindi only to watch "Hindi Movies!". I was excited and told him, "So finally now I can learn my National Language".
He was shocked, he asked me, "What? Who told you that Hindi is your National Language?".
I said proudly, "My school text book, my teachers. I listen to my teachers you know."
My husband said, "May be. But it is not". Now, I was shocked. I told him, "I'm 100% sure. Wait until I'll GOOGLE and tell you" and to my surprise I found out this link,
http://www.merinews.com/article/hindi-our-national-language/126953.shtml
My husband after hearing the above story (above the link) told me, "the next time if somebody insults you for not knowing the 'National Language', tell them that India doesn't have any National Language and it is just one of the official languages in addition to English. Since you know English you need not worry about Hindi."

Now,  I take this 'post' as an opportunity to tell all the people who insults and got insulted not to worry about it.

P.S: "Shock Tamil Movie" a vida athiga shock intha blog thaannu naan ninaikiraen ;)

Vettaikaran!



After such a long time, I'm back with "Vettaikaran"!
"ssssssss, appa mudiyallai!"

Actually, I stopped seeing Vijay films long time ago. You all know the reason, few actors in Tamil industry can be referred as "Telugu to Tamil" dictionary and Vijay is one of them. I always prefer the original version, but this film is different I started to get forwarded mails teasing this movie, even before its release. I was curious "enna thaan mokka padama irunthaalum ipadiya jananga react panrathunnu".
Padam paarthathukapuram thaan therinjathu, some fwds are true and can be trusted.
While watching this film you will automatically say "dhillupa", "dhoolupa". These are not credits, these are the movies you'll remember for some scenes.Intha rendu padam mattum illai innum "Pudhiya mannargal", "Sivaji", "Saamy" apadinnu aduki kittae pogalaam. Paathi padathula you'll get a feeling voru vaela ithu "Tamil Padam" , "Lollu sabha" maathiriyo nnu.
"Masala padam" apadingarathukku this movie is the best example. I understand Vijay is a GREAT fan of "Super star", avara maathiri nadikka try pannrathu thapu illai athai apadiya copy adicha aetho fancy dress competition paakra maathiri irukku.

I was very happy to see the super villain, "Salim Ghouse" after such a long time. I still cannot forget his role as "Jintha" in "Vetri Vizha", it was the best.In this movie he had done his bestnu thaan sollanum paavam avar enna pannuvaru script apadi.
The actor who acts in the role of "chella", should be mentioned. He had done his best but I think he is from another state, he reacts like he doesn't understand the dialogues in most of the scenes.Enakku voru doubt, enna thaan voruthangalukku swimming theriyalana kooda, thannila vizhuntha try koodava panna maataanga...

Heroine Anushka is pretty. Her role is more like a girl with only looks and ofcourse she does a pretty good job in songs.

Sathyan and Sukumaari kudutha rolea correcta panni irukaanga.
Music director Vijay Antony has done a good job in music.
Vijay imitates pretty much all the Tamil actors.
Mothathil "Vettaikaran" voru "Veshakaaran" .
