Love and Other Drugs – Unexpected

By gautham | Published: March 21, 2011

I generally find it hard to believe in love. Fact is I’ve found very few things in this world that believe in. And I still can’t believe that a movie – a movie ! was the reason that has made me write after such a long time.

Love & other drugs

I was pleasantly hooked in to the movie – when it diverged from the cliched I’m the one – You’re the one run of the mill love story. The people are purportedly real, properly disillusioned individuals who are not holier-than-thou and make mistakes. It’s a romance for adults – rather than the usual ones aimed at teens, which is akin to finding a traffic-aware cyclist in Madurai.

With me …

By gautham | Published: October 1, 2010

As she kisses each tender tendril of mine
Each little pinch she gives makes me smile
With her around everything seems so fine
I wish she was with me every mile …

Girl in rain

She kissed me so soft and sweet
All the way till I could feel it in my feet.
She is cold and unbrazen
Yet she is warm and never frozen.

She shattered me and made a misty din
Her voice is like a merry djin
She makes me feel as if I’m a king.

She has these deep dark eyes
Looking inside as far as I could
Lost amongst them, long I stood.

By gautham | Published: May 3, 2010

There aren’t many movies which you like from the start. And even if you do, there are very very and I mean … very few movies you like till the end. 500 days of Summer is one among those movies. Movies you treasure and remember.

500 days of Summer

Ok, the movie officially starts with this …

This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy grew up believing that he’ll never be happy until he met ‘the one’.
The girl did not share this belief.
Again, This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know up front, that this is not a love story.

The story of Toosh …

By gautham | Published: March 13, 2010

Long long ago there lived a dragon called Toosh. Now Toosh was young, intelligent and fun to be with. He wanted to explore the world,enjoy all it’s beauty and become a fire breather. So, he tried hard to become one and was always puffing and huffing.

Sneezing Dragon

But, sadly fate as usual had something different in course for him. He still couldn’t breath fire by the age of five. So, Toosh’s parents compelled him to go to flyers-school. While, Toosh loved learning new things, this school he had to go wasn’t at all nice. The classes were never fun, good teachers were rare and the bad ones acted as though they were the best in the world. Most of the students slept during the classes and were always fighting amongst each other. However, Toosh had no other option but to go to school.

8 things to learn from Vinnai Thaandi …

By gautham | Published: March 7, 2010

Since, almost everyone I know raves about the film and it’s sweet romanticism. I thought about making some observations just in case you get caught in a gautham menonesque love.

Vinnai Thaandi Varuvayaa

  1. Always think twice before you choose Mechanical Engineering, cos there is a huge history there.
  2. Trains. Never miss an oppurtunity to go to a place in a train, especially long ones in the night ! But beware
  3. Slim, beautiful looking Malayalee girls ( especially those who look angelic in sarees ) are very very, and I mean very dangerous.
  4. You better have some money ( i.e. have a friend who has money) when you’re going to fall in love cause you’re probably going off to some place far far away which might even be America.

By gautham | Published: October 5, 2009

This isn’t a must-watch movie. There is no action, no pace, no thrill and nothing dramatic. But this is a story which is heartwarming, makes you glow inside and get back your belief in love and life. :)

Watch it - the Holiday

The Holiday simply deals with love. Of how two women across the ocean, desperate to escape from the pains of love decide to switch home . And how inexplicably love creeps in and sweeps them off their feet :P
