Iron Man

My son and I spent the Sunday on the new Iron Man Movie. Movie was OK nothing spectacular. One thing I don’t understand in these new age movies is the philosophy of unmasking the superhero. For me, to be superhero, being “stealth” is one of the necessary point. But in today’s picture, No!!! In the movie at the end, Iron Man addresses a News conference and says “Yeah, I am Iron Man!!” What’s with that? The same thing in Spiderman movie!!! (Well at least it was not a news conference)

And another thing, Why try to show the human side of a superhero. Well, for that I would see Mahanadhi and cry for about a day. We go to Rajnikanth and Spiderman movie to see the hero kicking some bad guys butt….

ya're ryte..
there's nothin elusive about unmaskin a superhero- it's such a mood-spoiler, it removes the element of suspense and interest..

i think that's where iron-man failed cos otheriwise, the movie was pretty good i thought..

Well, I thought it was OK. I didn't like it that much. The Indian looking villain in a village in Afghanistan; Well that was funny!!! For a moment I thought I was in a Rajni movie.

Gayatri-
Vijay Movie :) But, I do think Vijay would have fought the villain without the Iron Suit!!!

Time to let it go -

After 12 long years, decided to let go my habit of fasting every Tuesday. Right underneath your thoughts and negative emotions exists an ocean of love. You have but to quiet the mind to experience it. - A Buddhist Saying I know for someone outside, there is no link between my habit and the Buddhist proverb, to my mind there is...

Dravidians –

The so called Dravidian states have been the saviors of Hinduism for hundreds of years and that’s the truth. If not for South India, Muslim rulers would have converted majority of India under Islamic fascism. For the past 40 years the leaders of Dravidian parties and Islamist have somehow managed to hide this idea and are proposing a deep rooted division between the sons and daughters of our country. Caste based suppression – Right now in Tamilnadu who instigates caste based suppression? Is it Brahmins? Is it the so called North Indians? No it is mainly done by a caste which is dominant in any given state. If you go to Madurai it is Devar, if you go to northern states its vanniyars, if you go to central states it will be nadars and so on. Brahmins are absolute minority in Tamilnadu, and I do agree that just like Jews they tend to help within their community but even if they do in our current state there is nothing they could achieve. So where is this fear of Brahmins some how trying t...
