Moana

Cast: Voices of Auli’i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson Direction: Ron Clements, John Musker Genre: Animation Review :   The movie is great. Every aspect of the movie is mesmerising. The lead character 'Moana' draws you into the movie with her charming attitude. Maui is cute and the tattoos in his body remind us of our childhood dreams and fantasy. The ocean and the animation are out of the world. The places display an ancient feel to it and the character has a modern approach. They are in the right blend without overpowering each other. Some dialogues are worth mentioning. A great movie

O thee mighty 100

With the ban of 500's and 1000's I rummaged my purse and bag for a 100 The minute I  found a 100 I was elated I thought of the day when I earned my first 100 Earned meaning Pocket money It was a treasure in those days Now history is repeating itself 500's and 1000's were a part of the adult's life Today they have lost its value And have become outdated Money had more emotional value back then It made us feel a stronger connect with the products we brought Today denominations have increased And value has decreased Maybe this change Will make us better humans

Lost Faith

Sometimes life reaches a point Where we can run no more We just lose faith in everything The society around us The people with us Even the earth we walk on Miracles seem like ancient history And even God seemed to have forgotten us Breathing becomes a burden And life is not worthwhile We feel lost and lonely And have just nowhere to go I just wish I could fight it back And restore my lost faith

Fisherman's Fare

Type - Casual Dining Review - The ambience is posh and elegant. The interior is simple. We ordered the Indian Sea Food Combo and Chicken Pulao. The Sea Food combo had a green salad, Fish Fry, Prawn Fry, Fish Masala, Naan and Pulao. The Pulao is aromatic and a little bland. The fish masala is spicy and goes along with the pulao. The prawn is dipped in a delicious batter and is crisp. However the prawn is not very fresh. The fish fry is a little soggy but good. Overall a fulfilling meal.

Silent Partner

I have always trusted you Good or Bad The first word my mind utters is your name Suddenly, my faith was shaken Not by ignorance, But by knowledge The knowledge turned my world upside down I have seen my world as your creation Joy as your blessing And sorrow as your way of testing me I accepted it with faith But however, when I learned that you were a spectator I was shaken badly My faith collides with my knowledge My conscience questions me Why will you allow it? Do you not care for me? I understand you are teaching us the good and bad But why permit it? Why be the silent partner?

Sandwich Square , T.Nagar - Almost Made it

Sandwiches are my all time favourite. Give me a sandwich any time a day and I will happily munch on it. But not all sandwiches are great. I love Royal Sandwich in Mylapore and was excited when they franchised it to many branches. I visited Sandwich Square in T.Nagar and order the usual ones. Corn Lays Cheese Toast and Chocolate Cheese Toast. The bread was fresh. The toast was crisp. The taste was almost good. The ambience was trendy and the service was ok

Inspiration

She did not plan anything in her life Nor did Plans work for her She wanted to be a lawyer She became an actor And a politician by fate Yet she fought all odds and exceled in every choice life gave her She accepted what nature had in store for her She challenged herself Her life was not easy Yet she shone in all her endevours She is a great inspiration to many She left a strong message behind You might not always what you expect Still that does not mean you cannot excel in it

Madras Kitchen

A budget friendly place. The ambience is cosy and has a family dining room feel to it. The meals menu is not constant . The place is hygienic. The service is good. However, the food taste is not that great. It is a great value for money

Mana Andhra

The first thing I like about the place is the ambience. Jars of Chillies from various parts of the world invites us. The wall is artistically designed. The shelves hold traditional dolls. A warm friendly host invites us. We ordered Guntur Bilal Kodi Biryani, Kheema Biryani and Gangaveli Aaku Royyala Iguru. The Kodi Biryani comes with an Omelette tastefully placed on the biryani. The biryani is spicy with the right blend of spices. The Royyala Iguru has a wonderful flavour and taste to it. The service and the ambience is warm. A great experience.

Artificial Intelligence

In the middle of the night My hand searched for the object vibrating near me I found it and silenced it I knew the time without opening my eye My brain was trained to react to the vibe every morning It never woke me up Still, it tirelessly irritated me every morning I got up and browsed through the messages We have lost human contact long time ago I check the messages most of which are forwards And some personalized wishes I plan my day and make a list of my work in Todoist Google reminds me of train schedules As I rush to get ready My day is filled with constant emails and phones I check my todoist and add more tasks to it Every thing I need is available is available on the phone Music accompanies me every where I go It is integral part of me That I almost forgot the human voice It reminds of everything Right from my friends birthday To every other memory in life It stalks me everywhere I go Asking me for feedback Sometimes my memory is never used And the ar

Shree Akshara Bhavan Egmore

The ambience resembled every other vegetarian place and it was full. Waiters walked around the place receiving orders and serving food. I ordered parotta and pomegranate juice. I specifically told the waiter to make it super cold, like I usually do. The parotta arrived first. The wait time was minimal. The parotta was hot but rubbery,  The gravy was good. The juice arrived warm and I had to replace it. An average experience

Dead End

     I walked down a path The road was long and narrow It was tiring and I wanted to give up Still, the mirage gave me the strength to move on I hoped for a better world And I pushed me to walk further Cool breeze gave me the energy Strom tried to blow away my determination Rain and cold wind threatened me Still, I moved on And somewhere along the path When I felt I almost reached the end I realized it was a dead end And my effort was futile The effort did not kill me The indifference did

Just run away

Everyone around me loves customization They like their own version of me I try so hard to maintain the relationship That I most times forgot the real me They want me to be emotionally strong They want me to financially support They want me to be independent They want me to be smart They want me to be sweet The list goes on and on And differs from every person The world around me Is so used to me being flexible That it just can't accept the real me They cannot accept my mood swings My crankiness My depression And noone of my darker moods The moods which would need their support and care I am so bored of this one way relationship That I want to just run away And start new..

Are emotions so out dated?

What is a relationship How is it measured It is measured in terms of the value it brings in Or is it measured in love and compassion Maybe love is an extinct word Every relationship I see around me Is measured by a different metrics It is measured in terms of profit and loss The market risk is deeply analysed The investment is taken into consideration The Return on investment is calculated And it comes into place If live has so much business proposals Then when will we real feel Are emotions so out dated? Does love no longer exist?

Just empty

Most things in life does not have a reason They are meant to happen They make us smile They hold us in times of distress They push us to the edge They make life worthwhile And they just fizzle away You were one such phase You created a impact in me You broke me into pieces And you just left me to ponder Now all I see in just vaccum And it is just empty
