Paiyaaaa

Finally we watched the Tamil movie Paiyaa yesterday. My husband was planning to watch this movie, since the launch of the movie's audio release, the reason; we watched the audio release live. This happened, when we came out of the theatre hall after watching kanden Kathalai, when we were walking through the way to exit the theatre, on the left hand side of the theatre mall, there was an other movie hall which was crowed with video cameras flashing at the crowd and the crowd was anxiously waiting for some people, I did not know and I usually dont pay much attention to anything once my work is over.

My husband sneaked and said that it is the audio release of Payiya movie, I asked "So ?, he said come lets go in and see it live. I was very hesitant as I was thinking that the entry is allowed only with a gate pass and also did not have much interest to watch it. But my hubby, pulled me through the crowd near the hall and said "its fun, chumma va , its nice to have cheap thrills, I have not seen and audio release before, va polam". His honest explanation broke the barrier of my brain and said ok what’s in it pooi than parkalame" lets go and see". We entered found 2 seats which was not very far away from the stage. Though I agreed to go, I was looking around to see if any one was looking at us as we did not have any pass or invitation for the show.

The host began with his usual introduction and praising the director of the movie and called each guest at the dais to talk about the director and the film. It was for about 1 and 1/2 hours, I enjoyed watching and appreciated my husband for his brave task :).

After that audio release we went home and me and my husband were thinking that we will watch the movie immediately after its release. The movie was released, from the day one, we were planning to go but did not find time as some thing or the other came on our way. Yesterday both of us were jobless and were thinking what to do?, so we thought that we will implement our long term plan and watched the movie.

It was a typical commercial and Lingusamy's original version, I enjoyed the songs, its picturisation and the dialogues, but it’s not a great one to review as far as I am concerned. A time pass one, so finally we watched it :)

Auto fare or fair??

Last evening, I was waiting for an auto to my house which was 1 and 1/2 kms of distance.

I halted an auto and told the driver the location to my house and asked for the fare, he said 15 Rs Madam, for a second or 2 I looked at him and repeated the same question, he said Rs 15 Madam, I was still in a state of shock and got into the auto. I still could not believe what I heard I asked him again “did you ask for Rs 15 ?, he said yes madam.” I asked him, whether he is new to auto driving?, he said “the place you wanted to go is on the way to my home, and if you would nt have come, I would have gone empty so I did nt want to charge you much”.

I was thinking that when I leave the auto, I will pay him an extra Rs 5. My place came, I gave Rs 20 instead of Rs 15, he immediately gave Rs 5 back and said this is enough Madam.

I still could not believe and said to my self the famous Vadivelu's dialogue "Evar romba nalavaru" he is a gentleman.
