Drishyam2 - Movie Review
What I had witnessed was not just the peaks of exploiting the rules of our judiciary system, but also the passion of crime-story telling. I was falling short of words to appreciate Mr Jeetu Joseph, the writer & director of this movie. Yet I decided to pen down this post.
After witnessing India winning the cricket world cup in 2011, I almost stopped watching cricket. Not that cricket became uninteresting but I experienced an ultimate joy during the world cup win, that I felt I might not get the same level of pleasure ever again from watching cricket.
I'm right now in the similar state of mind, this time about crime thriller movies.
Drishyam 2 is a kind of sequel which is neither made for the sake of it, nor made because the story couldn't be fitted in under three hours. It's made after years, with a breathtakingly convincing storyline in which everything is perfectly weaved. Any remaining imperfections are taken care through that mention of 'risk elements' towards the end. Every actor did justice to their character's portrayal. Back ground score uplifts the thrill to the peaks. I loved the screen play!
It's not easy to succeed with sequels. That too for a movie like Drishyam, which has been remade in many indian languages and no one could even make small changes to the story line. That tightly binding the whole script is. Now Drishyam2 is nothing lesser. Credit to the director and his team. Thank you #JeetuJoseph for this great pleasure

The words that I used the most
These are not the words I have used the most in 2020: Corona, Mask, Sanitizer, Work from home.
The words I have used the most in 2020 are: Bharat & Bhuvan.
Indeed, 2020 is a memorable year.

Rafa and the Rolland Garros!
If my kids ask me what Covid-19 pandemic could not change, I will tell them that it couldn't change the dominance of Rafael Nadal on clay, at the Rolland Garros. Astonishing display today. A memorable match I watched, after a long time!

I own my dad a lot
What the actress Shruti Hassan said reminds me of what my dad said when someone asked him, why would you want to send your only child so long away to Delhi for further studies.
He said "I myself studied in Meerut, long away from home. How would it be fair to not send my child now?". I do not remember him ever telling me to study well. He always said I must educate myself well and develop all-round capabilities and communication skills.
I owe him a lot; so much that I cannot ever return. All I can do is to give it back to my children.

One thing has remained constant from those Btech days, Mtech days and now the working-mother days!
The "Mid Night Maggie".

Happy retirement, dear sir!
I think of school days and I think of those times spent practicing and playing under the coaching of Ammaiah sir. So many beautiful memories from those four years, representing our school in Central zone and winning it for our team. Those are some of the blissful memories I carried with pride all along.
Many students were moulded into awesome players by Ammaiah sir, some even represented India on various international stages. Every student from our school has certain level of fear, respect and love for him.
Everytime I play, watch or even think of a match, I think of him. And everytime I think of him, I regret not choosing sport as my career. Life would have been entirely different and most importantly, I would have got a chance to make him proud. Well, the motivation I take from sport is something that keeps me going in whatever I have chosen to do.
I wish Ammaiah sir a happy, healthy and joyous retirement life. Hope he will continue to enjoy the successes of his students. I'm proud to be one of them.

M.S.Dhoni - The untold story : Will I be watching it in peace, ever!
This is the most watched biopic by me and I consider it as one of the best biopics ever made. Great tribute to the former Indian cricket captain and also to all the support system he had in the form of family, coaches and friends.
I'm not sure when will I be able to watch it in peace again. I doubt if I will ever do!
Its not about what depression does to us. Its not even about what people do to us. Its all about what we do to ourselves!

A great story is in the making! Day after day, the determination is multiplying.
And,
