Why I liked gravity?

Matt Kowalski did not returned. But if he had indeed returned as in Ryan’s dream, the movie might have become sleazy. I really wished he was back though.

The dream sequence was so real. I used to get such dreams during nightmare situations. It is sub conscious’ effort to give us the few minutes of happiness and some hope about ‘what’s ahead?’

Obvious symbolism in the movie about motherhood. Is the movie one huge expression of a mother’s struggle to bring her child to the world?

Matt’s ‘Sun over the Ganges’ remark. I know its stupid considering Matt’s situation, but I couldn't help it.

Ed Harris — Apollo 13 connection. What is the retirement policy of Houston ground control?

Ryan escapes using Russian and Chinese ‘products’, kind of rare to see such acknowledgement in Hollywood movies ☺

Shift Alt Delete

It is amusing that the tenants always know when its time - to start looking for a new home and get things packing . Land lord's reaction towards the tenants change gradually. Rents suddenly increase; hardened faces and lesser greetings; water runs out in the overhead tank sooner, and it stays that way for some time; that is, motor will not be turned on for the refill (motor is always the key control and the most lethal attacks of the master); apparently our garbage lies strewn in the entrance and causes hardship to others.. and more such imaginative complaints. But we as the tenants always catch these signals earlier and effectively too, due to to the years of training the owners provided.

But it is not easy to shift a house. So the Mr.Tenant tries as much as possible to postpone the inevitable, by being extra polite. Like that of the employees to their manager when the rumors about layoffs are abound. But he knows, he cannot stop the inevitable, and slowly start the arduous process of looking for a new rented accommodation. First such step is to send out teasers to the immediate friends circle. Next is to keep open the eyes and ears for anything that is even remotely connected to a place available for rent. Unfortunately, the rents would have skyrocketed from the last time the move was made, so the new place would be further far off from the city limits thus resulting in longer travel for the entire family.

Then happens the actual task of packing and moving. Calling packers and movers was still not a choice known to the tenant, so the entire family join hands in implementing the impossible. After a worn out hard work, the family will rush off as it would be already late in packing things,

All the things will be left unpacked and only the essentials will be coming out of their boxes - intelligently placed by the ever thinking mother. But it will be days to get to the things we need and it is almost impossible to find anything at all; and a thing that they thought long lost will magically show up.

But the sad thing happens only the next day. While returning from the place of work, the tenant inadvertently returns to the old home and stop half way. And that is when it really hits them - how much the place was loved that is not really theirs.

Butterfly Effect

A farmer committed suicide today afternoon.


Yesterday, a fat man hit a fat dog with a fat stone, for peeing on his wall. The dog ran hollering back to its master, a small boy. The boy broke an expensive item, as a revolt in support of the dog's plight.


This resulted in some record breaking bashing by his mother. She gave tired cries at the end, frustrated. At this point, unfortunately, the father entered home, yelling at the mother, 'You are yet to prepare coffee? Don't you know it is time?'. This led to some forgettable events, and no one slept that night.


Next day i.e today morning, without 'break'ing the 'fast', the bank manager father left to his office. He dismissed all the farm loan waivers, new loan requests tirelessly that came to his attention.

My Tweets-1

I translated some of the tweets I published in my mother tongue, Tamil. Technically, this is my first post for Commixture. Hope you all like it!

Is it just a co-incidence that we get so many holidays during rainy season and left writhing without one in summer?

The one where it all began

I have two resolutions.

1. To write blogs regularly (Which is not possible)
2. To keep it as crisp as possible (Which is not possible)

Topics? as usual, covering wide gamut of topics...
