Why Sanjanaa goes to sleep soon after sunset

Sanju is just a kid. So she can afford to sleep longer..
Sanju wakes up at six. Therefore she sleeps early.
Sanju does not watch TV in the evening. Therefore she sleeps early.



The truth was something different and it dawned on me just this week.
Tennis on Tuesday evening, tennis on Wednesday evening and cricket today evening..
11:15 on Tuesday , 10:15 on Wednesday, and just managing to stay awake now….
I am feeling tired at sunset too..Sanju has been active all day everyday…while I have been warming the seat all day everyday… she has been playing all day, and I have preferred to have my eyes glues on the computer screen during the day and the TV screen after that..

This week has been like the one of those PT classes that were few and far between.. and in true McDonalds style “I’m loving it”

Come next week, and I will be reminded of those glorious childhood days…
“…. Porum veyilla thalai la vaangindadhu.. naaliku vera seekaram ezhundhukanum..”

Yeppppp…. As I am eagerly awaiting my parents’ arrival here, I already see what is in store.. atleast.. there is no homework to spoil my evenings I guess, but I am sure there would be moments of dejavu….

A few good...

Every time you feel alone,
The world feels like hell
There are a few good friends
Who listen to all you tell

It all looks far too serious,
Eveready to pour the cribs
There are a few funny moments
That constantly tickles our ribs

Whenever life seems unfair
Respite wanted is what you feel
There are those few good hearts
Selflessness is all it takes to heel

The cities look too cluttered
Moving at an incredible pace
There are a few good places
Where you can live your space

When all seems lost,
There are still ways
To enjoy what’s given
With those few good……

Making of Mooooosa Ali

Stautory Warning: Completely in Tanglish and for those who follow Kollywood

It is one of the quintessential roles in a Captain Action Flick- The Baakisdan Deevaravadhi (hereinafter referred to as BD)

Now, Paramasivan, the latest Ajit starrer had one BD to boast of as well, Moosa Ali (MA).

Here is the transcript of a brief interview with the actor, who played the role with great finesse:

Me:Saar…oru BD a nadikarthuku enna thagudhi venum?
MA: Thambi,.Rombakastapattu dhaan munuku vandirkom. Arjun padam Jaihindh la pinnadi nikkara oru theevaravaadhi extra, adhuku appaala, Vallarasu la Mukesh Rishi assistant..appadi padi padiya pala Captain padathula nadichu kadaseela indha kareterrru

Me: Saar, Ippa Unga kitta neraya padathula villain aaka demand eridicha?
MA: Dheevaravaadhi oru pecalist role…. Summa matha villa thanam madhiri illa… Inga kathavum seyyanum, sandayum podanum… Adhi RDX maadhiri summa overact mattum panna patthadhu

Me: Appo, BD characterku Captain venume.. Avar ippo arasiyalla erangitaare….
MA: Naangale appadi dhaan bayandhom… aana ippo avaroda Annan pilla Rajasimhan vandhutaar. Adhunaala konjam sandhosam

Me: Neenga rendu vaati shootingku oru manneram latea poneengalaame.. enna aachu
MA: Thambi, Deepavaliku thupaaki vaangi kudukallanu, en pilla theevaravadhi maceen gunna vechu vilayaada aaramichitaan. Adhu naala dhaan late aachu…

Me: Theatre la Vivek scenoda onga scenela dhaan jananga kai thati manamvittu sirichaanga nu kelvi…. Neenga en comedy pannakoodaadhu?
MA: Naan sonna maadhiri dheevaravadhi vesham oru thavam maadhiri…. Edho jananga sirikaranga .. adhuku naan comedy ellam seyya mudiyaadhu…Naan ennikume Baakisthan Dheevaravadidhan

Me: Adhukaaga indha interviewku kooda neenga andha pichakaara dheevaravaadhi costumela irukaardhu over…
MA: En thmanbi, indha kelviya Military la irukara hero karetarunga kitta keka maatengireenga…. Avanga Kasmeerlendhu gramam vandhum, Vayalla heroinea route udumbodhu kooda adhe uniformla dhaane irukaanga… idhu dhaan enga kalaacharam

Understandably, he was upset at the provocative questions, and I sensed trouble, and escaped from the scene by wishing him some good luck….. watch out for RAJASIMHAN
