Urumi- An Example of Quality Cinema

-

Urumi, a Malayalam historical film is based on the warriors who wanted to kill Vasco da Gama.Directed by Santhosh Sivan, this film has all the ingredients necessary to be categorized as a legendary movie. Urumi also mesmerizes the audience with its technical finesse and awesome characterization making it "a must watch" movie.

 The movie begins with what most of us have learnt in our history books; The Portuguese Exploration into India by Vasco da Gama in search of spices and minerals.Then, the scene shifts to present day Goa where Krishna Das (Prithviraj) comes to know that the lease period of his ancestral property in Kerala has lapsed and a multinational company offers him an advance to buy that property.There are some tribal people still living in that area in Kerala and when Krishna Das comes there he's kidnapped by them.The tribal chief Thangachan (Arya) explains to Krishna Das that he's a descendant of Chirakkal Kelu Nayakar and narrates to him the entire history.

The superlative thing in this movie is the Santhosh Sivan's cinematography and characterization.Every pixel of the movie is superbly crafted and certain scenes of the movie leaves the audience spellbound.Prithviraj as Chirakkal Kelu Nayakar and Prabhu Deva as Vavvali totally drown themselves into their characters and have acted very well.The acting of Genelia D'Souza as Princess Ayesha needs a special mention as she has showcased her acting prowess in the numerous fight sequences throughout the movie. From playing a bubbly heroine in many movies to playing a warrior women in Urumi, shows how talented a actor she is!! All the credit goes to the director Santhosh Sivan for extracting the talent from each of these actors.

Though, this movie is largely based on historical facts, it would have been nicer if the climax had been made fictional showing Chirakkal Kelu Nayakar victorious; the response for this film would have been better.Apart from that, every department of the movie had delivered their work flawlessly.

This is a guest post by an promising fashion blogger Anu Mohan. She has learnt immensely about blogging, fashion (her strong point) and maintaining healthy friendships on social media in past few months. With less than a year of blogging, she has given an interview, her post got featured in an e-magazine and has secured the Liebster Award. I'm so happy for this bubbling fashionista and wish her success in all she does!

Her Article! : To start with this is Anuradha Mohan A.K.A Anu Mohan and I am a fashion blogger. I promised Ram long time back that I would write up an article on Indian clothing for men , yes I did delay but here it is .. :D To start with overall Indian ladies are associated with Sari but when it comes to men things are little different. I would broadly classify it into North Indian Ethnic Clothing and South Indian Ethnic Clothing; let’s not go too deep into it... ok?  :) To be honest I love men who embrace Indian wear and carry it with a style, it can be a Veshti or …

Comparision between Indian Education Framework and Australian Education Framework

-
This article comprises of some comparisons between our system of education and Australian framework.For the Australian part got suggestions from my buddy Pradeep Cholan currently pursuing his Biomedical Honors at Griffith University, Australia.


First Of all, the primary difference between our dreadful system and their's lies in Understanding.There in Australia, students first do the concepts practically and then learn the theory part of it. This is an amazing method considering the fact that, students tend to do a lot of mistakes when attempting something practically and then when they follow up it with theory their thorough knowledge about the concept is achieved.That's the reason why students in abroad are good at problem identifying and we Indians are good at solving it. For example, in case of a parallel connection in circuits students there first do it practically, try different methods then achieve the results and finally learn the theory part of it.As they can do it prac…

Sometimes I wonder!

Sometimes I wonder-
When I squeeze myself into that lift pensively,
With a bunch of people yet feeling lonely,
Will this lift ever attain escape velocity?
That takes me away from this Melancholy.

Sometimes I wonder-
When I scroll on my smartphone aimlessly,
With my thumb encircling the same apps stupidly,
Will this smartphone ever work intuitively?
That takes me away from this digital Cacophony.

Sometimes I wonder-
When I'm standing in that bus stop; solitary,
With dried leaves swirling around viciously,
Will I ever get that one bus immediately?
That takes me away to paradisiacal Arcady.

And then I wonder-
What I imagine my world to be is perfect and idealistic,
But what will remain in this world then will just be "Monotony".
The Friction, the Resistance, the Cacophony, the Melancholy -
Are the things that makes me uncomfortable, but I still persist
Because, in the end makes you awesome and keeps you alive.

Love,
Ram Thilak
