Despicable me

Obviously, I don't mean it literally but I too want to steal the moon someday and I will :) [there goes my noseless smiley]


 

So, is that the only connection between the main character and me? Perhaps no, I empathized with Gru, each moment he was on the screen. He was the super villain, the heroic villain, the cute villain, the loveable villain, the sweet dad villain...err I'm not saying that I'm any of these but of course, we have a lot in common.
Now you my dearest reader shall ask, ('dearest', because you are one of the very few who destined to read this blog) "You guys have a lot in common, like what?"
hmmm...like;
  1. The dream of getting (call it stealing, if required) the moon one day
  2. Rutheless against the worthless/nerd/heartless villain vector aka victor (Oh boy!, you got a superhero friend :P)
  3. I got my own army of cute minions (not as much as Gru has, but at least 4-5)
  4. Rejections/insults faced (not from banks though)
  5. The love for kids
  6. Last, but not at all the least, some goodness in our heart, which is sometimes a vulnerable point, but as the movie says, will be a long time refuge for you, me and the world.
I have not enjoyed a movie like this for years, each and every moment of it. Even if someone thinks that i'm despicable, I have my own group of minions and three cute kids with me always. Such a soothing thought!

Later :)

'THE' Wednesday

Image
Obviously you know what it would be about, yes the big match today. Normally Wednesdays are like the half finished medicine bottles when you are ill; you know that you are getting well by the end of it but you still have to go through the torture and finish half of it. But this Wednesday, excitement is in the air, as India confronts our neighbour Pakistan in another head-on sporting battle. As we know, India-Pakistan matches are normally considered as the mother of all cricket matches and when it is the semi final match of World Cup, it acts as a natural pacemaker. Just like anyone else, I want Team India to win and it will be extremely delightful to watch Sachin and the boys (don't expect Dhoni and boys from me!) beating Pakistan in this spectacle. But let us keep it in a level where we can see it as a game, with pure sportsman spirit. Yes, I will be sad if anything goes against India in this game, but then we can try and avoid comparisons to terr...

"The green beer hashes onomatopoeia in the urge. Ailurophile fails after onomatopoeia. Will the expertise offend around onomatopoeia? The wonder renders the ruler. Ailurophile destroys the dirt next to the sober tone. How does onomatopoeia struggle after Ailurophile?" Before cursing me, or yelling "WTF!!" at me for writing the above paragraph I solely disown any connection with it except for finding 'Ailurophile' and 'onomatopoeia' from a site and putting it here . We have seen blogs/books/notes etc., which makes no sense but only noise and ultimately disgust through such style of writing (if I can call them so!). According to me, we basically write for two objectives; 1) To express oneself and to share it with a close group of people 2) To impress; mostly to appeal external audience, but the author derives some kind of satisfaction through his work, as people read, understand and enjoy it. There is a third type which is a mix of both, but ultim...

Fragile egos, failing society

We have failed as a society. Damn it, we have failed as living creatures. Malayalis can bury their head in the sand and flash their golden HDI card, while accepting that we are a morally corrupt society. This might come as a surprise, but Madhu would have been beaten to death regardless of his tribal tag. A majority of Keralites find it amusing to pamper their fragile egos by putting their nose in to others business. Ocassionally, this ends up in mob/group violence. Trust me when I say this, we are a coward lot if not in a group. We are apathethic towards stronger enemies. However, when we have our chance, we pound upon the weaker prey, and even kill him. You would not belive when I say that it is difficult to go out with my wife in certain parts of my town (Kottayam) after 7 PM. Young boys would come and peep through the car window, 'ensuring' that nothing illicit is going on. Madhu's case was a tad bit different. He was poor, moreover he was hungry. He had soci...
