The ill Humored

Last weekend I went to a college football game and watched NFL football games on television. On Saturday I went to a football game at the new TCF Bank Stadium located on the university of Minnesota campus. Before this 11am game I tailgated with a bunch of friends. We made food and threw some footballs around. The Minnesota Gophers squared off against the Air Force Academy. This new stadium was absolutely beautiful. The field has great sight lines overlooking the campus on one side and the Minneapolis sky line on the other side. The football game was exciting the game was tied up at 3-3 at half time. In the second half the Gophers offense got going and they pulled away to win their first game in their new stadium. On Sunday I went over to my friend’s house and we watched the Minnesota Vikings play the Browns. This was Brett Favre`s debut as the Vikings quarterback. Favre did his job and the Vikings were victorious. During the half time break we went outside and played a bean bag game that was really fun. After the game we went out to a sports bar and had hamburgers and fries. I then went home and watched Sunday night football. The Packers played the Bears at Lambeau Field. The Packers ended up beating the Bears. This was a fun and relaxing weekend of college and NFL football.

Story: Group of friends sacrifice their life and love for the love of a friend’s friend, but that friend’s friend parts with his love due to practical difficulties of life. You may ask so what..? What is the story..? Believe me that is all is the story. No prequel or sequel. Screen play: Samudra kani was a better actor in Subramaniapuram. That he depicted Abinaya successfully (who is deaf and dumb) as a normal girl, is a credit to him. But then that credit goes to Abinaya too. Direction Depiction of scenes and characters has been good and similar to subramaniapuram. But then what is direction..? After consuming 80% of our time, director did not know how to proceed. Actor: Sivakumar fails in the sense he is as usual and one cannot find any expression in his bearded face. But Chandran and Pandian, Pandian in particular excel. Anaya is cute, impressive and emotes very well. I liked her round face and sweet mannerisms. She seems to have a good future if she sticks to her current frame. Abinaya is really pretty and acts well. No way can one find any shortcoming in her performance due to her disabilities. She has a good future definitely. Ananya and Abinaya are the best part of this film. Music/Songs: Actually there are intervals in the film filled by some music and song to ensure the film runs for a specific duration. Better to go to look or catch a drink during this time. Overall Impression: Could have used the resources and capabilities of the team to tell a different story or a better version of the same story. Nadodigal are not the group of friends in the film. They are the audience who come to watch this film and go out looking for something else somewhere. But Hats off to Ananya, Abinaya, Vijay Vasanth and Bharani.

Currently I am working on two different projects and due to this my whole day was very hectic. In the morning I went for a client meeting to discuss various pain areas in their system. That was very long and we discussed many functional areas such as Human Resource Management, Customer Relationship Management, etc. After this meeting I went to review the preparation of a demonstration for another client. This review was ended in two hours and after finishing this review I went to home to take some rest.

I make jewelry in my spare time. I prefer semi-precious stones and gold or silver. Sometimes I use shells in my designs as well. My main expertise is wire-wrapping and what I like to call wire-smashing. Basically I take 12-gauge silver wire, bend it into strange shapes, smash the heck out of the shapes with a chasing hammer, drill holes in them, and then link up the shapes with chains and beads. I don’t know how attractive it actually is, but so far my friends and family have been very diplomatic. So maybe my jewelry isn’t all that bad. The great thing about making jewelry is that it channels my more aggressive impulses and keeps me from taking them out on my coworkers. So I consider it a win-win situation.
