Inverse Karma

I am sitting in a corner of my hostel room. There goes the 1st ring. A shrill tone of “Siragugal Vandhadhu” echoes in the corridor. Occupant A next door. She attends the call and starts the now famous walk-while-you-talk (Thanks to Abhishek Bachan.. What an idea Sir ji!). Then comes a crude mumbo-jumbo remix of [...]

Aiyayo! – This was the barber’s initial reaction when I walked in for a haircut. “Enna thambi romba naala aalaye kaanom?” came next. He was right, I hadn’t been there for a year! He discussed how to cut my hair with his assistant for 10 minutes before picking up the electric razor.
As I had been [...]

Been a long time since I wrote something in IK! And it’s been long since I watched a movie in a theater too (Yeah, I did watch some on DVD though ). My last few movies at theaters were a string of flops and I almost gave up on Tamil movies. I predicted that Kanthaswamy [...]

As I was parking my bike in the theater’s parking lot, Anand told me a joke. One guy coming out of the theater had just told him that the movie’s name should have been “Ninathale Kasakkum”. That was seriously the only funny thing that happened during the entire movie experience. Or maybe not.

I recently saw an interview that was filmed a few years ago. It really provoked me and I sat down and I wrote and I wrote and I wrote. This post has gone through hundreds of revisions, really. Have a look at the video to know what I’m talking about and then read on.
Talk about [...]

I came across this totally kickass video and I thought I’ll share it with you. Its a remix of sorts, with bits and pieces of MJ’s music videos put together to beautifully match a Tamil song. This could well be my tribute to the king of pop. God, where did they get this song?!?
I’ve [...]

Why on Earth would I think of writing about this? Seriously, I never even took any interest in Tamil movies. But everywhere I go, whenever we chat and ramble, the conversation ends in an argument between Ajith fans and Vijay fans. I’ve listened to these intense word-fights (between two of my bestest friends too!) and [...]

I watched this dumb movie the very second day of its release in a multiplex; that too with another semester due around the corner. And it was a big mistake which I repented for days. Now whenever I hear people discussing on making it for this movie, I take up the responsibility of helping them [...]
