The Observer: June 2010
http://ram-theobserver.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Quotation of the Day. Friday, June 18, 2010. Do we judge the qualities of our lives and that of our own self with a contrast as simple as black and white, good or bad? That is what Mani Ratnam had tried to bring out with his densely shot 'Raavan'. It took Mani and his team a grueling three years to complete this flick, which says alot about the kind of effort it took to shoot the movie in the dense forests of Madya Pradesh. AR Rahman's music as usual carries the film forward almost single handedly at tim...

The Observer: September 2009
http://ram-theobserver.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Quotation of the Day. Monday, September 28, 2009. Pray for me Brother- India's reflection. What are they hoping for? I could take a whip at politics at the tip of a finger (which is exactly what my mom did), but I knew that would do gross injustice to those whom our concern is directed at, and to those who our wrath is directed that. At what cost does success knock your door- humanity? What desperation might have driven the parent to abandon her young daughter in a place like this? What will losers get?

The Observer: The warrior will be alright.
http://ram-theobserver.blogspot.com/2010/07/warrior-will-be-alright.html
Quotation of the Day. Thursday, July 8, 2010. The warrior will be alright. The thin haze that has been coating the horizons around the place on a consistent basis had also deprived the warrior of his most cherished view- a peek towards the top of the mountain- bright and glistening. Every time he witnesses that peak, he feels like he does belong to that peak, to reach there one day has been etched in his destiny. What is happening to his life? Where have his dreams brought him to? But then he thinks of t...

The Observer: January 2010

Quotation of the Day. Friday, January 29, 2010. Deciphering The Thousandth Man. My friends have mainly directed plenty of questions as to what they believe to be loose ends that exist in the film, and though all my answers may not be accurate, I do have a faint idea about all the ropes that ties the movie together, so here are my two cents. The Cholans are NOT zombies. Why then, are they so dark? Why did they abandon the Cholan city which is so nearby and live in caves? Well, this is the fishy part. ...

The Observer: April 2010
http://ram-theobserver.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Quotation of the Day. Saturday, April 24, 2010. Curtains raise.let the ten-headed evil mind come. Raavan has come, riding with it expectations as heavy as anything, yielding his ten heads and ten minds on a horseback. Two names is enough to make you swirl around with expectations at this album- Mani Ratnam and AR Rahman. Without giving verdicts, I'll get straight to scrutinizing all the songs. Now you are in the vehicle, you know the atmosphere, a solid start to the album. Look for the name Sukhwinder Si...

The Observer: The new rainbow
http://ram-theobserver.blogspot.com/2010/05/warrior-once-sat-down-bespectacled.html
Quotation of the Day. Saturday, May 15, 2010. The warrior once sat down bespectacled, wondering if at all he will attain what he desired. What he wanted. He is still making that journey, but the perennial doubts keep visiting him, throwing him into a whirlwind of uncertainty. Is this a battle that he has to fight alone? Will it be a futile one? Is he making a journey in which the destination will never materialize? And he walked on. The observer- my biograhy. The unusual and the beautiful. A man from the...

The Observer: October 2009
http://ram-theobserver.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Quotation of the Day. Saturday, October 31, 2009. Lost in Ganges- A reflection of my trip to India- part 2. I remember seeing a Hollywood science fiction film called ‘Contact’ once (if I am not mistaken), in which the human race’s attempt to establish contact with an alien race is dettered by many institutional beliefs that humans are different because they believe in God, while aliens don’t. If all religions head to the same destination- God; why do they have to kill each o. What I may say here might ma...

Quotation of the Day. Thursday, November 26, 2009. The Cybergypsies- Bear, ( (rrrree) )(llie* & Good. Best book I have read in my life? Maybe That was what I was telling myself some 2 weeks ago. Now, yes. It is the best. Indra Sinha's Cybergypsies is a stunning tour de force, entertainment in the form of book reading at the highest quality. What doesn't the book have? A big fat yes. Sattire? Everything one should and would ask from a book is in this 392 page of absolute great craftmanship. Here is your a...

The Observer: The whatever-ness
http://ram-theobserver.blogspot.com/2010/07/whatever-ness.html
Quotation of the Day. Tuesday, July 27, 2010. My hands and my brains can't take it anymore. The ludicrousity that is offered in a beautiful platter every night on Sun TV has been ringing alarm bells in my head for an incredible amount of time now. Let's get to the bug. We all easily have a laugh at the Tamil TV serials that are being dished out like candies but the day has come when I have to note what makes the world go round here. 4 They waste 5 minutes of each serial with a song. It runs 5 times a...
