My Diminutive Paradise

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine. Now!!  that's the line to start describing this experience with.  I'm not an avid follower of malayalam movies but the good ones doesn't get to evade me so easily. The first look poster,  DQ - Nithya,  and with the way the trailer leaves an impression with its wonderful music and an intriguing cinematography,  this movie went into my must-watch list instantly. Today I had the pleasure of experiencing,  as I would like to call it,  Jenuse mohamed's 100 days of love. What makes this movie special apart from the technical finesse is the great performance. The best thing about the protagonist, DQ is his subtlety and he fits perfectly into the role of BKN. You don't get to see a single scene where he either over-performs or under-performs. Nithya is gorgeous (if that word can actually define just the being she is) . "Her smile was magic" ,  exclaims BKN when d...

Nightingale Road !!! I stand on the road all paved and narrow . Tranquility and beauty was all i could sense . The sublime glow of a chimney lamp from a small cottage across the road , and the green blanket around it added to the beauty of that moment . I now have to find my way to the place and a steep curved walkway up the road will take me there . It was a place of antique beauty , will thick shrubs around , blue bells popping out from few of the them and the smoke rising up to the sky from the chimneys of classic old brick houses . But without the sun, this would prove to be a dark and brooding place we read about in novels , perfect for a crime  , witchcraft / wizardry . To the right lies Petersham , a beautiful medieval style hotel , tall and wide with a wonderful view to the other side .  I could see cars parked around and the hustle of people leaving in small groups for a walk . Up the narrow lane and a few minute walk to the right , i have re...

For me , a phone is something that is very difficult to stay away from .  Looks and the build quality has been my top priority when it comes to choosing a phone . All the beefed up specs that's gloriously packed in a wonderfully attractive design is the key for any flagship . To satisfy me after a round of unhappy stints, i arrived at the Glorious Galaxy Note 3 , and i proudly say that i am completely satisfied . There are thousands of reviews and specs sheets out there . This is going to be the key important things that i find with the Note 3 . For Detailed Review – Click here Glorious Stuff : Splendid high pixel density , HD 5.5” screen . Decent design with a textured plastic (i basically hate samsung’s design ) which makes it look premium in all ways . The S Pen , much better than the previous version and is what that keeps other flagships far far away from this . Jedi tricks like, scrolling email and internet browser with your face movements . Wa...

Can you live without your current smartphone for a day or two ? The answer is definitely Yes but its very very difficult for most people like me . In an era where smartphone has become an integral part of many lives , losing it or not being with it is not an easy task . So , what do i do with my smartphone ? Most important thing are my contacts .  I keep in touch with as many as i could and maintain my circle of friends , share things , hardships , fun , photos , etc., Email Accounts , Social networks , Chat services , sometimes banking apps . Imporant documents either as a primary copy or for backup . Almost 16 Gig contents (music , photos , and videos) And more importantly , my smartphone has become an extended part of myself that i would always keep with me and never leave it alone .. I mean never . Mine was also a priced proud possesion . It was sony's first waterproof , scratch proof and SHATTER proof smartphone and had an awsome 12 MP camera . It soon became s...

Long has it been . The feeling of togetherness,fun and frolicking almost forgotten but never cleared away as they are memories of a good time that always linger around . Memories that remain to provide company when solitude begins to suffocate . The blistering cold wind rips the color and life off things around .It also leaves a storm swirling in your mind that brings flashes of memories that bares the emptiness in you that you no longer feel the difference between the bare branches of a tree and the lifeless journey for money and fame . Scrolling through the contacts in phone , remembering and listening the past thats bonded with each name and the beeps , takes away the forced reclusion and brings life closer. The fight against this wilderness would have been lost long ago and made confinement hold my fort if not for my phone . The heads bent down and the fingers clicking the hard plastic or the glowing glass screen , in trains and buses , in places around , reminds a...

I write and now I realize . The flow of words or emotions can never be reproduced . I was writing , the flow of words eased my unsettling mind ....a network glitch and all those hundreds of words vanished with no trace .  I sit again trying to recreate it and my words are hurdled , my thoughts running berserk and me ashamed and fragile with no control over my words or emotions .

  Writing ,  always felt comfortable . The flow of words from your mind to the screen has a kick to it . I am not a good writer but i like to write . My London diary is not peacockery , its nothing but a way to share the experiences of a Chennai Paiyann in London . This is actually my first long trip ever , out of Chennai . Amidst a lot of emotions , tears , smiles , surprises , excitement , fear , big and long byes , i left Chennai . Everything beyond that line was a first time experience - Flight , the view from up top (Chennai looked lovely) , air hostess , conversations with a stranger , it was all new . A cold breeze , welcomed me to London , making me shiver, forcing me to wear my jacket and ruined my challenge to handle the cold . Shivering , i walked across a lot of strange faces , through a bunch of formalities and finally to a face , i knew all too well  - My colleague . Its been a long time since , a...
