Review:

This is yet another signature piece of Kamal- Ravi Kumar combo following Panchathanthiram, Thenali, Dasavatharam. Apart from comedy it has a strong story line with various emotions and sentiments. Kamal puts on his favorite avatar as a commando depicting his love and patriotism to his country. With no Pompous entry of characters, the screenplay is unique. Madhavan has proved his talent again being away from chocolate boy role. He plays a role of a lover who doubts his fiancé because of her profession. Trisha who plays his fiancé has no major role in this movie, but must say she has done justice to her role being calm and subtle.

Sangeetha plays Trisha’s best friend and she fits exactly for her role, who has honed her skills with her experience. Urvasi and Ramesh are the creamy who make their mark even with limited appearance. Kamal has been the one who tried to brings new rays of vision to Tamil cinema and here is cruise stands as the highlight. Music by DSP makes our feet tap at certain instances but it is not extra-ordinary. Who’s the hero song by Andrea is a noteworthy number. Though the climax resembles Kamal’s previous venture Sathi Leelavathi, this is an exceptional story from Ulaganayagan. Kudos to him!! He rocks!!

A family entertainer and a feel good movie with variety of emotions injected into the script.

Our first Step together!!

Strangers were we sometime back

Tracing life on our own path;

Then we met in the name of matrimony

Beginning to search our future hand in hand.

There were times we yearned to see each other

Separated by long distance

Now we are in each other’s arms

Enjoying the marital bliss

I knew I was leaving my roots

To start a new chapter of life

But you replaced the most

Precious people in my life

You are my mother when you care

And my father when you recognize

You cherish me amidst your busyness

And understand my weakness

Today we have crossed a year

Giving us more of you and me

Knowing better and wanting each other

Overcoming our differences

I owe you these verses

As my love for you

To stand by your side

To reach our life’s pinnacle.

This is a tribute to my loving husband!

As we sow, so we reap:

A beautiful video that I came across in Facebook,a dedication to all the citizens and mainly parents. We live our lives the way we desire, not realizing the mistakes we do and producing a justification of every action we do. We influence the next generation by every action we do. Young minds are like the wet fertile soil. It would accept any seed that we sow and will hold it forever. 

We should be careful with our actions and stand as the right example to live life in the right way.Let us all be responsible and make our influence positive. Here is the video to remind us that children see. 

Cervical cancer Awareness:

Cervical cancer is considered as the second major cancer in women next to breast cancer.  It is caused by HPV (Human Papilloma virus). The main cause of this cancer which killed Jade Goody was the lack of awareness and ways to prevent it.

What is cervical cancer?

It is the growth of cancerous cells at the cervix, the mouth of uterus. It starts as a pre-cancerous cell and would take years to develop fully to show out symptoms. If developed and untreated, it could spread to bladder, liver, intestine and lungs.

Causes:

HPV is the main reason for the virus and it spreads through sexual intercourse. There are many strains of virus, only types 16 and 18 cause death. The rest cause genital warts. Some other risks are:

·         Having sex at an early age

·         Multiple sexual partners

·         Weakened immune system

·         Poor economic status(not able to get pap smear)

Symptoms

Early cervical cancer has no symptoms. Symptoms that may occur can include:

• Continuous vaginal discharge, which may be pale, watery, pink, brown, bloody, or foul-smelling
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause
• Periods become heavier and last longer than usual
• Any bleeding after menopause

Symptoms of advanced cervical cancer may include:

• Anemia because of abnormal vaginal bleeding
• Weight loss
• Pelvic or back pain
• Heavy bleeding from the rectum or bladder
• Leaking of urine or feces from the vagina

Tests & Diagnosis:

Pap smear tests are done to study the cells from the cervix. If unavailable, visual identification can be done by staining to detect the abnormalities in cervix.

HPV test:  The DNA cells of cervix are studied for cancerous growth. It is much accurate than Pap test. But this can be done only for women above thirty.

Prevention:

HPV vaccine: With girls getting sexually active early these days it is advisable to get them vaccinated at the age of 11-13. This Vaccine is effective only if administered before first sexual intercourse. It is administered as three doses, each costing around 3000.

Delay intercourse:Another way is to stay safe from intercourse and wait till you get married.

Sexual partners: Use of condoms can reduce the risk of infection. Having less number of sexual partners also can prevent from other STDs

Regular pap test: Pap test is recommended for women who become sexually active at young age. This cancer is common among women aged between 30-45. So it is better women go for pap test annually or once in five years after first negative test.

Prevention is better than cure. Let us know about the disease, prevent and fight back.

White Fairy!!!

An exquisite fairy peeping out

As an ocasional guest

Spreading around the merry

To kids and teens

Falling down as flurry flakes

Each one unique from the other

Reaching the ground without

Thrusting each other

Spreading a blanket uniformly

Without any inclinations

Calling out the kids to jump

 And play to mark their footprints

Making Snow mans at every corner

Kids Play throwing snow balls

And couples enjoying the weather

With a hot cofee and hands held together

Retreating from the sight

She turns the snow into crystals

Making them sheen

On the tree tops reflecting the sunshine.

Adorning the nature's beauty

Much in every different way

Awaiting to see you

On your next visit dear fairy!!

Magic wand - Technology

Technlogy has been in its pinnacle in this century with millions of inventions and upgrades. This gives a hand in bringing the enormous world closer. Especially for the relations separated by distance, technology is an "akshyapatra"(because technology keeps growing and never empties). 

I am one of the yearning individual for my loved ones overseas. For my parents issues coming up with the system and the so called system engineers grab the money in the name of service taking advantage of their ignorance. But with the help of remote control software, i was able to fix many issues with regard to installation, system security, etc,.

Thanks a zillion and hats off to the technology,my parents felt my real presence when i resolved the problem by myself. I was so elated to hear those words fro them.
Way to go "Technology" !!!

Hello My Dear...

She looked at me with love

Even when i was unable to move

She taught me to behave

With all those i have

She cried when i was hurt

And taught to be unhurt with all.

She made me grow

Standing by as a ladder

Herself  staying stunted 

Sacrificed all of hers'

To watch me shimmer.

Then came the day

She sent me away from her

For my betterment

With my memories lingering

In her thoughts and

Waiting for the phone to ring

And say "Hello kutty ma..."
