Arya 2 Movie

Yesterday I was so excited to go to a Telugu movie after a very very long time. There are very few theaters in our area that air telugu movies, so I was little more excited to watch Arya - 2 mainly the reason being "a Telugu movie".

Read the review before hand but kept every thing aside and watched the movie. The movie goes like this, allu arjun(Arya), and navadeep(Ajay) are orphans. Allu arjun randomly picks navadeep as his frined by placing bubble gum on steps thinking that who steps on bubble would be a friend for his life. Unfortunately its navadeep. Then a couple wants to take custody of one either Allu Arjun or Navadeep and Arjun lets go Navadeep.Some how Allu Arjun joins Navadeeps Office where they both fall in love with Kajal(Geetha).Finally it is who wins Kajal.

The movie's director Sumkumar done a dirty job in portraying the hero's character. Allu Arjun puts pressure on Navadeep to accept his friendship which really never happens in Life and which is totally opposite what actually Arya's motive(In Arya 1, according to arya  if it is true love nothing comes in between them, but here he constantly pester's Ajay to feel his friendship eventhough Ajay says he does not feel him as his friend). In   But in Arya 2 it has no clear idea what it is going after. At least if director has shown in the beginning of the movie that Allu Arjun was brought up alone with no one in his life, his friend ship value towards Navadeep would have justified, since the beginning of the movie hero was shown with Negative shades and as a Psycho. No body in real life would love or make friend ship with psychotic characters. Navadeep's role was practical and it is apt for the movie. I do not know what Kajal is doing in the movie. Her Characterization is poorly molded in the movie she does not have a opinion of her, she does not know whom she loves, she just takes decision according to particular situation. I find no reason why she gets angry on Navadeep in the end and goes with Arjun, even though from the beginning she supported Navadeep instead of Arjun, that really does not make any sense at all.

But it really needs a mention that Allu Arjun's dance was fantabulous, he nailed it and I am glad that we have such a good dancer in Tollywood. Needless to say about his acting skills, he is at his best.

The only thing I liked in the movie is Arya(Allu Arjun) expressing that he wants to be true to his character either good or bad to his lived one Geetha(Kajal). Literally I had head ache after watching the movie and had to spend on Coffee, a pain relief tablet and half day of sleep to get rid of it.

Thanks giving and Black Friday!

Just woke up and guess what it is 71 F outside, finally it is cold here, read in the forecast and it says would be same till the end of the weekend. Hurray!!!!! Enjoying every sip of the hot coffee sitting in the corner of the couch and writing here, OMG I cannot explain how I am cherishing this moment.

Past two weeks saw a lot of ads for thanksgiving and black Friday, especially yesterday night my brother in law Chaitanya went to best buy to snatch some deals on his favorite electronics and came home, told us that a lot of people had their tents in front of shops to grab the deals.

Not having born and brought up in America, I do not know the meaning of Thanksgiving and BlackFriday, hence I had a glimpse of what exactly are they. Found out that Thanksgiving day is to thank god for blessings of the last year.But the first Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the piligrims survive the brutal winter. And the Black Friday is Friday after Thanksgiving. Black Friday the term refers to the heavy traffic in Mall, Shops, on the Roads. But originally September 24, 1869 was deemed Black Friday, a day of stock market catastrophe.

Had a cup of coffee, Had my moment..... Catch U Later.......

Little Memories of Big Life

In my child hood during summer holidays we (bro, sis, me) used to visit peddamma's, babai's house. We used to play with all my cousins and have delicious food. One day we went to my Saroja Peddama's house, they had a dog, they used to call it sony. I really love pets, but then I was so small that the dog looks taller if we stand together, that apparently made me fear of her. One after noon we were talking about movies and other stuff and suddenly my bro vikki and my cousin sripriya changed the topic, they started talking about characters in a novel(I still ask them the name of the novel.. haha..).  My sister vinni and me we were staring at them as it sounded to us like a foreign language. Later that day I saw some books in their house I tried reading a book but I could not as I did not understood a single word they meant( I remember I was going to high school then).

Days passed and I was left alone with  my mom and dad, as my bro has to leave for usa for higher studies and my sis to a hostel for her degree. My father used to do a business and so he rarely used to stay with us and my mom is a working women and I go to school. I still remember the days we celebrate when my bro or sister comes to home for holidays.

My bro (before going to usa) used to come home for two days, he used to come on friday night and leave on Monday morning or Sunday evening.Then my sister was in hostel doing her degree in cuddapah and I was doing my intermediate. I still remember the day when I got Chiken pox my brother was not allowed inside my room as he might get. One day when my brother came home he said he will take me out, I was so excited and very happy. It was so funny when my brother took me to his favourite place Visalandhra book I was shocked and so upset. Then came the real shock when he said we were going home by walk, as it was in the afternoon it is hot and I could not walk and he finally bought me a Maaza fruit drink to make me stop crying and we took a Rikshaw to go home. Can you believe it was Rs5.00 then. My brother started preparations for his GRE and he got admission from a university. He came home after his completion of degree and made preparations to go to chennai for F1 Visa. Then as it was holidays my cousins, babai's, pinni's from hyderabad and Nellore came home to visit us, we all went to railway station to wish my brother to get Visa.
Than my sister and me went to Nellore to spend the rest of the holidays and my brother came from Chennai to Nellore on the way back home to pick me and my sister. I remember the incident that my sister and I were in my babai's home with my cousin Ujwala and Saran and we got a phone call from my brother asking for the address of the home. We waited for him outside for a very long time and not able to stop the curiosity to see my brother we all four walked on the road to meet him and it was like in a movie that we all four and my brother were on both ends of the road and we ran towards him with excitment and as we reached him he told that he got Visa. Then I did not know what Visa was except that he would be leaving us soon. We went home and my babai Kumar gave us 300 Rs to celebrate the occasion. My pinni, cousin's Ujwala, Saran, sis, bro and me went to Babu Icecream and celebrated the day. The day came when my brother has to leave for America and my family  was happy and sad for him. I still remember I went inside restroom and weep after my brother left. Everybody was sad to leave him. :(

After my brother left, I was home alone with my mom and dad in Tirupati, my sister was in cuddapah and she used to visit us every now and then as cuddapah was only 5 hr journey to Tirupati. My sister is full of energy and my mom and sister always used to fight like kids. But I believe that made them bring closer and made their relation ship stronger.In hostels they do not have Television to watch and they need to do all the chores, so when my sister comes home she does not want to do anything. Most of the day she watches Television and my mother shouts at her not to watch Television, rather read or do chores. But my sister she hates doing them and even today she does not like to do the cleaning.I remember an incident that happened when one time my sister came home. After spending time at home she was not at all ready to leave for hostel and she was making some excuses to avoid the leaving. But my mom some how made her leave for hostel as it was the end of semester and she had to write the semester end exams. Later my mom got call or my sister knocked at the door I dont memorize exactly, but it seems that the bus my sister got into met with an accident. So my mother cancelled her trip and my sister was also feeling home sick to leave the home, hence my mom did not force her to leave. Later the next morning my sister got a phone call from her friend that my sister was selected as the project leader for her group and they will start working as soon as she attends the classes. My sister in a nick of time forgot the home sickness every thing and that afternoon she left to cuddapah( Hahhahahha). There was one funny incident during her project, as a part of the project they had to do some on field work, Cuddapah is a very hot place and the more you expose to sun the more you will get sun burn. My sister came home and my mother started crying  seeing her, the truth is my sister turned coal black after her on filed project work. It took a month or two to get to her natural skin colour.Days went by and my also started her preparation to make her step in to USA. She worked very hard and finally my father and sister went to chennai for her visa and she got it. We started shopping for her trip and I really felt sad and cried  :( after her farewell. My mom and dad missed her so much especially the little fights and arguments they had.

We three me, mom  and dad were feeling lonely without my brother and sister. Than there were my brother and sister visits to india every year and I used to feel so sad that we have to take the permission from schools and goverments to spend time with our own family which literally is 3 weeks of which 4 days are spent in travel and 3 days in rest and the reamining we get is 2 weeks. It is a pity that 8424 hours of waiting is equal to 336 hours of spending time with our family. Is this the importance given to human emotions and family in this world created by none other than US?

A Day Spent With My Memories

After a very long time I thought of updating my blog, as I was doing my routine "applying for jobs" I came across a job posting from an elementary school in Florida, I completed the formality of reading the requirements, attaching my resume and then finally sending it to the employer. Since the time I saw the posting  from elementary school I was not able to control my mind from thinking about my past especially my child hood. So I gave a quick pause to my work and was glancing through my old emails  I wrote to my mom, my sis, my bro, my father and my friends especially  after coming to USA.

It was my brother in my family who started the tradition of coming to USA to pursue higher education, he has great talent and ambitions that he wanted to achieve in his life, I am glad he did and happy for him.Afer him was my sister, she is as talented as my bro, but the reason she came here is, then she was so crazy about coming to USA and living here for the rest of her life ( but after spending couple of years she lost the interest ). After my bro and my sis it was my turn. I had no interest in coming here and pursuing Masters, but it was my family who made me change my mind and finally I landed here on Aug 22 2006.

I am so glad I came here, made so many friends, can see my family, most of all I had many adventures here. Love you All.
