Another Letter

My dear blood mother, How could you do this to me ? They say, "Charity begins at home". How cruelly true. Your neighbour's foster child, Handkerchief P.S. Ammani's Quick Tale 146

A letter to G U R U

Hi G U R U, When you come the next time, don't forget to treat me with a mug of water and a piece of cloth. Strikingly yours, Bathroom mirror P.S. It's been six months since I saw you clearly.

It was the Director who killed 'Maya'

I believe Gautham Menon had shot an alternative climax for Kaaka Kaaka. Realising that it was too cinematic, he eventually decided to retain the one we all see today -undoubtedly, the one that's more realistic. I think that was a phenomenal decision ! I remember my English professor often quoting the phrase, "If Cleopatra's nose were one inch longer or shorter, the history of this entire world would have changed !". Going by his rationale, what if 'Maya' were not killed in the end as shown in this video ? Who knows, the movie may not have become such a huge hit. What say ? The Director speaks...hear it from the horse's mouth....

My life

T he day before yesterday, I had no clue of what I wanted to be. Yesterday, I wanted to be someone. Today, I am not what I wanted to be yesterday. Tomorrow, I wish I atleast be what I think today. But the day after tomorrow, I know for sure, I will look back at the 'yesterdays' and the 'day befores'. And smile. And probably nod. Maybe even laugh ! And just be content that am alive for another day. Yes, I can see that. Very clearly. Disclaimer : Readers are requested not to misinterpret "My life" as the author's life. The "I" in the post could also be read as "you".
