For a Happy and Joyful Life

"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go." 
                                                                                      -  Oscar Wilde 
On reading the above quote from my friends what’s app status, two people popped up on my mind. Person 1 - who cause happiness wherever they go and Person2 - who cause happiness whenever they go away! No one loves to talk about the Person 2, neither I. But need to mention about Person1. A person, who always carries a big smile not only in his lips, but in his eyes, cheeks and in his walk. One could actually sense a positive vibration whenever he comes.  I always see him very happy and smiling.
My curiosity did not let me stop from asking him, "I just wanted to ask you. How you are always happy?”
"Will tell. But you have to pay session fees" he replied with a big smile.
“If happiness is brought and learnt from coaching lessons, then everyone would afford for it.” I thought and agreed to pay the session fees and the fee was a free coffee from my office cafeteria.
“We will talk in detail but one important thing, you have to do what I say” he said as he pressed the Espresso button on the coffee machine
 We sat on a chair and sipping his tea he said, “First thing. There is no such happy thing or magic that you need to do to be happy. It’s just realization and truly speaking you are one of the person in our office who is full of energy”
He continued, “We never allow anyone to do good or bad without ourselves. Whatever you think you will become and god/Universe will offer you that. If you think, you are suffering; you will find all this in your life. If you start appreciating what you have and you find all this in your life. Always be grateful for what you have. If you can’t enjoy this world, then you are doing bad to yourself. Never waste tears for anything + anyone. You born alone and will die alone. People in today’s world have nothing, still they are living. They try to learn many things in life, meet new people. There is no magic in this world and no one is special. It’s what we do decide our present and future. No one can change past. You can live crying or you can life with a smile happily. You can die crying or you can die smiling. Choice is yours.
And Start helping people. Help as many as people you can. In all possible ways, not just by giving money. Buy happiness for them. life will buy happiness for you. And there you will start to live life then everything will start to change.  Buy food for old. Give clothes to them. Spend some time with poor kids and look at their face.
Your wish your life!!
Always listen to inner voice! Break the rules!! And be the change!!!

3 Things to realize before it’s too late

There are three things in life that everyone should realize at the earliest in order to achieve success and peace in life.

I have a big Financial/Family/Health/Emotional Problem:
                   If you are the one who says the above statement, then it’s time to burn those negative thoughts into ash. All problems tend to be gigantic just by over-thinking. There are only 2 things in the universe.
The things which are beyond our control - The so Called "FATE" The things which are under our control. Things such as accident, falling sick, losing a valuable thing/person are beyond our control. Why to give importance to those things when is not in our control. Just accept, learn to "let go" and stay positive for the next good beginning.
Second, that is in our control.  - Be wise and take cautious decision in the all the things you chase. Be wise in choosing friends, eating habits and thoughts. When a person starts doing it, even the things which are beyond the control can be restricted to certain level.

Talent/Lack of Time/I am not lucky pal:
“I am not lucky enough”, “It’s too late to start now”,” It’s not the right time”, “I am not a wannabe” are only the road blockers for achieving the passion and dreams.

I don’t have time- If that’s the answer for achieving the passion, come-on... It means, it’s treated as least important. Because Have you ever stopped yourself from brushing your teeth? Because its very important for you( if not at least for others )

I am not talented: There is no such thing called "talented person." There are only people who just practice and work hard. And add a spice of persistence to Practice and hard work. You will become the talented person that world would envy.

Not lucky enough - just because you are struggling does NOT mean you are failing.  Every great success requires some kind of struggle to get there. so stop finding excuses for pursing your passion.
On your marks, get set and go...

Final, but most important one.
Love yourself! Love yourself!! Love yourself!!!
Love and admire yourself than anything and any person in the world and Stop expecting love from others. No one can give you the care and love you need apart from yourself.
Secondarily, love, Appreciate and care for the people truly whoever you meet. But learn to accept and move on when they are not with you and learn to move on happily. Relationship and the people are the ones who keep moving and changing and trust that you will meet better person always.

My beautiful food with Borosil

My beautiful food with Borosil 
Food flavors better when it looks all adorable and when severed with Borosil products. This year I had a pleasant surprise by my friend for my birthday. The living room was arranged with tulips and pear blossoms and the room was Lightened up with elegantly designed diya. Roses were placed in swirl tumblers allover the dinning table.

The cookies were decorated like a melting snowman with marshmallows and the chocolate donuts were pretzels to simulate reindeer. Chocolates were melted in microwave and cooled to 90°F.

The cake was covered with a  bright color of fondant like pink and red and rolled out into long ropes to create rainbow like waves that can surround the various layers of the cake.

And Finally got a memorable gift - Sandwich Maker

Dad My Role Model by Deepika Muthsamy

Sivakarthikeyan - The Inspiration and Role model

I am writing about #MyRoleModel as a part of the activity by Gillette India in association with BlogAdda.com.
Sivakarthikeyan – “The Green-eyed monster”
His growth as a participant in a comedy show, to mimicry artiste ->Dancer in Reality dance show -> Anchor -> character artiste in 3 Movie -> a Lead role in Marina -> multi-starrer in Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga -> solo hero in Ethir Neechal and finally 'Maan Karate' Peter with Haniskha with a mega combo of AR Murugadoss's story, Anirudh's music and Escape Artists Motion production is definitely an incredible journey and an inspiring one to most of the youngsters and yes for me too...

“A lucky guy” People just quote a word without knowing the hardships he went through to stand where he is today.  Curiosity to learn new things has showered with success. People believed him only as a "mimicry artiste" but when he was given a chance to dance in "Jodi Number One" and to host the TV shows. He saw it as an opportunity and grabbed it just for the sake of exploring. Today he is a playback singer, a good dance, and a notorious actor.

He took his failure as a stride for the success. He messed up his first audition and was literally chased away with a statement, “anchoring wasn't his game”. After the rejection as an anchor from a leading television channel, he walked back home weeping all the way. That moment he promised himself that someday he will become a great anchor. After a lot of rejections and being a mere substitute, he finally made it as an anchor… and now a hero.

To be successful, it is also very important to be humble and never let fame or money travel to your head. And because of his humble nature, I like him personally too.
Like wine, he is getting better and better with each film. And like his journey it leaves me motivated and inspired.

As he says "We should never allow ourselves to believe that we are incapable of something.” 
His saying are not just a word... its a proof from his journey.
He is a symbol of hope for the common man. 

Rajinikanth hypothetical shopping experience

"Kadhal Anukal udambil etthanai? neutron electron – unneelakannil mottham etthanai?unnai ninaithal thisukkal thorum aasai sindhanai..haiyoo....
(A Tamil song from the film Enthiran(ROBOT))

Rajinikanth was strumming with guitar looking at Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in a beautiful oasis.
"Sirrrrrrrrrrrr!!!" The mellifluous soul-stirring song was interrupted by an unexpected sound of a high pitched male voice.
"Cut!!!!!" Director Shankar yelled. All the assistant directors pitched to find the person.
"Who's the Black Sheep? Mehhhhhh!" Ranjikanth too began to find the person.
A Man in his late twenties, completely drenched with sweat came running towards him with mobile phone in one hand. It was none other than Rajinikanth's personal assistant.
"Seeeviduven (I'll chop off your head)". Why did you disturb me in the mid of ROBO shoot" Rajni screamed.
"Sir, Drop this ROBOT movie. After years, Robot will Release a Film with your name. But there is a burning issue coming up.. "

"Sabba" Everybody in the set needed a break and Director Shankar announced 15 minutes tea break

Rajini's P.A continued, "Today is your wife's bday and you wish to forget her.... Madam angry angry..."

Rajini realize that he had forgotten his wife birthday and thinks of an idea quickly.
He calls his wife immediately and says, "Honey.. There is a pleasant surprise for you in an hour”
The worried PA asks how it could be possible, as he is miles far away from home.
“En Vazhi, Thani Vazhi" (My way is my own)” he again throws a punch.
Sir, what are you going to do?
Rajini looks at him and says, ""Naan enna pannuven, epdi pannuven yarkum theriyathu. Aana panna vendiya nerathile correct ah panni duven" (Nobody knows when or what I will do, but I will do when the time is right)
This time the PA literally gets pissed off on hearing his punch dialogues.
ARe you going to catch next flight and purchase something in Airport mall and surprise your wife?

"Kannaaa Pani Thaa Kutama shopping mall pogum...Singo Singala... online shopping pannum. " (Only pigs shops in groups through shopping mall, a tiger shops alone through online)

Now, the PA thinks he got a chance to pull his leg and says, "Sir, we have Yebhi, filpkart, Myntra, Jabong, shopping.indiatimes,Homeshop18, Zovi, Yepme  eBay   over 500 online retailers ...Before you finalize which one your wife’s next bday wil come"

Rajini laugh out with loud and takes out his phone and type "BAGGOUT" and immediately the phone vibrates.

"Summa pere ketta athrudula" (Doesn't Doesn't everything quake at the mere mention of the name)
He search for a dress, earring and shoes for gift his wife and place the order online through Baggout.com.
He finish his purchase with a punch, ""Andavan solran. Arunachalam seiran" (God commands, I act )
His wife receives the gift immediately and get excited on seeing it. She makes a call to Rajini and says, “Love you Sweetheart”

Manja Pai - Movie Review

Manja Pai - Movie Review 
There are "N" number of movies in Tamil cinema, which projects the love/bonding between a  mother and son , father and daughter. Here comes a new attempt from the Debutante director Raghavan about the love between Grandpa and his grandson. We miss the grand parenting due to our lifestyle, and the movie “Manja Pai” will definitely makes us to long for Grandparents love. 
Plot (From Wiki) Tamil (Vimal) was raised by his grandfather (Raj Kiran) single handedly in a village and 25 years later the boy is working in an IT company, Chennai staying in an upmarket posh apartment. Tamil meets Karthika (Lakshmi Menon) a medical student at a traffic signal and it is love-at-first-sight for him. He follows her and in no time she reciprocates. Tamil is now selected to go to US in three months and he brings his grandfather to the city to spend quality time before he leaves. The rest of the film is how the old man with a heart of gold creates havoc and nuisance in the life of Tamil, residents of the residential apartment and even in the American consulate!
Review:
It’s a must one time watch movie to understand how we lost our emotions and feelings for our elders. The tolerance level which Vimal shows towards his grandpa is definitely a take away.
Thank god!!! Steve jobs is dead, otherwise he must have got heart attack when Rajkiran thinks MAC as a sandwich maker and keeps it on stove to toast the sandwich.
His behaviour on seeing American flag at the U.S embassy (wondering why Vimal takes him to embassy during his interview)
Of Course, there is no wonder that people who are filled with innocence and pure heart are the ones who suffer a lot.
Thank god.. The climax was not typical Tamil story…

Pros:

Rajkiran's Characterization and his acting.Humour quotient and sentiment. 
Cons:

US Visa approval was so filmy… (what are you trying to say!?)Lakshmi Menon characterization was little realistic but at some places it was over dose. Costumes could have been taken care.Vimal ..Please stop doing the "Software professional" role. The climax was draggy 
Verdict:
A must watch movie to understand the emotions and feelings of human beings.. Be it our parents or grand parents

Rating: **** 4/5

Idhuvum Kadandhu Pogum Movie Review

Idhuvum Kadandhu Pogum Movie Review 

Not very often everyone gets a chance to watch a movie on the first day of the release.  If AVM productions treasures us with one such gift?
"What!? Was it released in ALL screens worldwide?" But, what if I don’t get a ticket?
Getting released in TV? I am too busy with my own schedule and can’t make it to watch at fixed program schedule and more over I hate ads that pops up in every 10 minutes.  

Hold on!!
You can’t say your Ifs and buts for the AVM’s “Idhuvum Kadandhu Pogum”. Because the production giant had come up with a new concept: Can watch the movie on your convenient, anytime, anywhere and any number of time and more over on the first day of the release. Yes, AVM has released the movie Idhuvum Kadandhu Pogum directly in YouTube on April 14th. Hmm, Okay so first full length Tamil feature film to be released directly on Youtube. What’s so special about that movie other than this? There are many more interesting facts that would tempt a person to watch IKP

Srihari Prabaharan who had directed the short film “Kasappu Inippu”, was such a beautiful poetry portrayed in just 9 minutes and garnered positive accolades from viewers.
Anil Krishnan whose debut short film “The lost paradise” trailer itself was prodigiously good and went viral. These two exceptionally talented people have joined hands for this project in which the story is penned by  Srihari Prabaharan and ably directed by Anil and Srihari. They have shared the responsibilities well and have come up with a beautiful portrayal of love and hope.

A movie can give you an aesthetic and profound feeling only when the cinematographer captures the director’s vision exactly and reflects with engaging visual treats. Saleem Bilal the cinematographer of The Lost paradise has donned the role again and has done a fantastic job .
If Directors and cinematographers are the one who design and create the soul of a story, definitely the actor and actress are the ones who projects them. Its is through their performance, the movie reaches the mind and heart of the audience. Shivaji Dev who plays the protagonist has projected the character by living it. It was not a complete shocker to watch him perform extraordinary as it has to be in his genes. You know why?!! He is the grandson of the legendary actor “Nadigar thilagam” Shivaji Ganesan. And Shilpa Bhatt the female lead has done exceptionally well for a first movie and had scope to perform more than most of the actress has got in their first movie. She has done incredibly brilliant.

So, AVM has done a brilliant job by taking up a movie with this young team and come up with a winner .
So above all are the reason for IKP’s expectation soaring. And now, coming to movie.

It’s easy to understand other people pain only when you have undergone the same state or  situation. Definitely almost 75% of the people would have  had a love failure or faced a situation of close one death. If your answer were yes, then all you do while watching the movie is travel along with Gautham role and you, yourself undergoing those emotional turmoil. The story is about hope, pain and emotion of a person who had lost his girlfriend. Dialogues are very soothing and motivating. Hats-off to the directors for ending the movie with a positive hope. Music by Umashankar is definitely a plus to the movie.



Direction, There will be always a wow factor and creativity pinned to Anil Krishnan film. And this movie did not fail to do that starting right from the start where the movie’s title is displayed in a perfect situation and the touch of creative brilliance runs through till the end of the movie. Saleem's cinematography and Anil Krishnan's editing has been to a new level and many scenes will be stuck in your mind for a long time. Such is a scene where Shilpa’s image reflected in Shivaji Devs eyes and shifting it to the present with tears in the eyes. A brilliant portrayal of love(Past) and pain(Present)

IKP conveys an excellent message that, "We cannot control everything in this world and we cannot find reason for all the things happening around us.” It's necessary message to all of us where we always try to control everything and trying to find reason for each and every action around us. Sometimes its too good to let the things just be the way they are and eventually it will be for good.

Take away from the Movie:
Idhuvum Kadandhu Pogum (Even this shall pass)  - Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place.Don't text and drive – Better don’t use mobile phones while driving.Cry out when needed - It’s always better to cry until the pain decreases. If you could closely watch the movie, the hero tries to return to his normal life when he burst out into tearsOverall the AVM has done an amazing job once again by producing this movie. A movie which beautifully expresses the love and pain. It is a must watch for those who believe in love, those who are in love and those who were in love, that is… ALMOST EVERYONE!!!

Watch the movie below:
