Reviews on anything I read, ate or saw. Not something that would influence anybody but wanted to record it somewhere
So recently I got into a crazy reading spree and read the Heaven Official’s Blessing series. It is a series of eight books and it is about a “failed” god and his journey where he comes across a ghost king who seems to want to help him. It is the translated version of the Chinese…
It was the year 2004 or 2005 I think. There was this serial on sun TV called Sivamayam. It was about siddhars and how they exist even at that point of time and what their powers are. It spoke of Ashtama Siddhi which roughly translates to eight levels of yogic achievement I suppose. Like it…
A few years ago I came across this movie named Amélie. It was playing on some random channel in a hospital room. Since it was a french movie, I could do with the muted version and just the subtitles when my father slept on his bed peacefully. It had been such a depressing couple of…
Another gem in the Nandanam area. The Chamiers Cafe is such a nice place to hang out with friends, meet up with business partners or even sit by yourself and have a nice cup of coffee. The place is situated on a busy road and yet the cafe lets none of the noise get inside….
Located in prime Teynampet, this was a place I just stumbled into one fine afternoon when I was absolutely famished and had no food at home to go to. I had heard of this place a lot from friends but always thought that it was a date night or a girls brunch kind of place….
I am known to roam around by myself. And I love frequenting cafés with a book as my company. Now not all coffee shops are okay with a single customer using up a table for a while. So I thought why not identify places that are nice for a solo trip…. I had been hearing…
Well towards the end of the year I kept seeing people debating about a certain mass entertainer movie. Whether it was good or not, whether it was a women empowerment movie or not, whether it was a sports movie or not… In that a lot of people missed out on an actual sports movie that…
I am sure this title would be self explanatory on what I am trying to talk about. It is this series called Modern Love that is streaming on Amazon Prime. It was making its rounds on social media and I was intrigued. So I sat down to watch it during some free time. And dayuummmnnnn……
Normally I don’t catch festive release movies as soon as they come out. Just for the fact that I can’t hear any of the dialogues. I go to the movies to watch them in peace and appreciate the characters in it. But one lovely fan that I recently got acquainted with wanted me to watch…
I hadn’t read and finished a full book in a long time. I kept buying book after book wondering if this would be the one that would keep me hooked till the last page. And then the harsh reality hit me. I didn’t like most modern stories. I didn’t feel up to the modern ideas…
When the music album was released a friend of mine said one of the songs matches a scene in a Murakami novel. And it did. The song in question was Iravingu Theevai and the novel was 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. I badly wanted to watch this movie before anyone spoiled anything so I silently booked…
There is this small part of me that’s pro geek. Almost as geeky as the guys in The Big Bang Theory who gush on and on about comicon. Guess I will have to thank my brother for that. This franchise was one of the few things that helped me share a tiny bonding moment with…
So basically this guy put like some 20 movie scripts in a blender and got a final script and decided to call it his. Also add a few good actors like sathyaraj and s.j.surya to make the audience feel/relate something with the characters. ##### SPOILER ALERT ##### I would like to start by requesting someone…
Kingsman paathutennnnnn!!!! (I saw Kingsman) So the Kingsman join hands with the Statesman and try to save the world. This is basically the story. Add in some awesome actors, a little bit of sentiment and some cool robot stuff – you get a nice enough spy movie that mocks itself. *SPOILER ALERT* The first…
I saw this trailer like a few weeks back and thought it was an interesting movie. Didn’t think much about it beyond that. I am not a hard core movie buff to know Edgar Wright (Actually any movie buff would know him I suppose) But I did not follow this particular director or his works…
