Some Vetti Clicks - 3

It's been a while since I wrote something, so to overcome the block or to break the ice in my blog, I'm posting few pics which I took recently.

These are playing with the light and shadow. Please excuse me for the darkness.

Friends, who are in my Facebook friends list might have already experienced it (some called it as torture!).

I took up a little challenge to myself (no body can challenge me!) to capture & post 30 pictures for 30 days.

OK, when I set a challenge to myselves, I ought to set some rules right. So here are the rules.

The picture should have taken within 24 hours while I'm uploading in my Facebook.
Minimum one or two takes for a shot. No on-site experimentation.
The scene has to be from my daily routine, like my home, office, shops which I visit for my daily needs, streets\roads on my way to office\home\home town, bus which I use for daily routine. So in other words, don't go to a place for the sake of taking picture.
Use my own devices (Moblie & digicam), no eravals.
No stopping in the middle of the challenge.

So, here are the images. (Click on the image to enlarge it)

Let me know your thought! ( My friends mind voice- Evvalo vetiyava iruku!)

பாட்டி வடை சுட்ட கதை

பாட்டி வடை சுட்ட கதை. இந்த கதையை நம்ம தமிழ் cinema directors எடுத்தா எப்படி இருக்கும் என்று ஒரு கற்பனை. ஒரு producer-ரிடம் அவர்களே கதையை சொல்வார்கள்.

----

முதலில் Selvaragavan- Sir opening-ல சோழர் காலத்த காட்டுறோம். ஒரு பாட்டி தென் கோடி தமிழகத்தில் வடை சுடுறங்க, அதே நேரத்துல Jupiter பக்கத்துல இருக்குற Kipiter planet-ல ஒரு தாத்தா வடை சுடுறாரு…

Producer- செல்லாது செல்லாது. அடுத்த ஆள் வாங்க !

----

Shankar- Sir.. வடை சின்னதாதான் இருக்கணுமா ? நம்ப பாட்டி 100-அடி size-ல வடைய சுடுறாங்க. அப்போ பேரிய size dinosaur robot வந்து தூக்கிட்டு போயிடுது.

Producer- வடைக்கு budget பத்தாது தம்பி. நீங்க வேணும்னா சொந்த காசு போட்டு சுட்டுகோங்க. அடுத்த ஆள் வாங்க !

----

Manirathanam room உள்ள வந்து உட்கார்ந்து, producer-ர கொஞ்ச நேரம் உத்து seeing..

Producer- (அப்புராணியா asking) கதை எப்போ sir சொல்லுவிங்க ?

Mani- பாட்டி…..(silence)…. வடை….(silence)…. காக்கா…..(silence)..

Producer- அய்யோ தூக்கம் வருது. அடுத்த ஆள் வாங்க !

----

Hari enters the room with his 10 assistants, all carrying அரிவாள்-s

Hari- பாட்டி சுட்ட வடைய காக்க துக்கிட்டு பறக்க, பாட்டி “எஎஎய்ய்ய்ய்ய்…”ன்னு ஒரு பேரிய sound விடுது. அத கேட்டு ஊர்ல இருக்குற எல்லா பாட்டிகளும் 10-15 Tata Sumo-ல காக்கவ துறத்துறாங்க.

Producer- தம்பி முடியல. அடுத்த ஆள் வாங்க !

----

Kamalhaasan- கதைக்கு போவதற்கு முன்னாடி, பாட்டிக்கு காக்கவுக்கு Hollywood-ல இருந்து வரும் Micheal Westmore 4-hours make-up போடுவாரு. OK-வா?

Producer- Not, OK. அடுத்த ஆள் வாங்க !

----

Goutham Vasudev Menon- (Only English) Before going into the story, let’s decide the title. Working title will be ”பாட்டி55” and the actual title will be “வடையை தாண்டி வருவாயா”.

Producer- தம்பி. Me no English. அடுத்த ஆள் வாங்க !

----

Bhagiyaraj- Sir, நம்ம பாட்டி கொஞ்கம் மாற்கமான பாட்டி. வடையில எப்பவும் முருங்ககீரைய தான் use பண்ணும். இத ஒரு நாள் திருடி சுட்டக் காக்கவுக்கு கசமுச…

Producer- நிறுத்து நிறுத்து.. நான் படமே எடுக்கல. பழயபடி நான் கிளி ஜோசியமே பார்க்க போறேன்.

Unlike Poles Attract

I did a play on some personalities, who will never meet each other. Some were contemporaries on their time, some were separated by ideas. Unfortunately, I can think on only three as of now.

Charlie Chaplin – Adolf Hitler

This is my only hand drawn work in this series. Pencil Art.

Jayalalitha – Karunanidhi

This is a photoshopped work, it fact this was done using pixlr.com, online photo editing tool.

Periyar – Pillaiyar

This is again photoshopped, created using the basic, good old MS Paint.

17 secrets of Tamil Cinema; Dedicated to the fans.

I made this list after a very long research. It took me two decades to compile the list. I started this when I was in 6th standard. I knew that one day I’ll be a blogger and will write about this as a post. The below 17 are the some of the best kept secrets of Tamil cinema. There are more secrets, but I don’t want to bore you with a long list so I’m limiting with 17.

1. A marriage scene, when the iyer says "naazi aiuduthu ponna azachinduvangoo". Then we can conclude that the marriage for sure won’t happen.

2. Villanu'ku birthday party will have oru scene\kuthu\club-dance. Hero will be in the same party in maruvesam, but villain gang can’t identify him, because hero will be wearing coolers!

3. Villain will always have a 2nd job, he will be selling junk goods like- tube light, carb board boxes, old tyres, glass work, ice factory, welding work...

4. If police remove their cap then they are going to convey a bad news, usually someone is dead.

5. The hero irrespective of his profession will handle a gun\pistol\AK 47\grenades as a professionally trained military man.

6. In comedy films, if someone hits with an orutukattai the person who gets the hit will faint instantly without blood.

7. In old films, the servant name will be always Ramu.

8. If hero teases it’s called romance, but if villain does its eve-teasing.

9. Hero will fight for poor people. He’ll fight against the area dada. During the fight they’ll destroy the shops ( Poori kadai, aluminium pathira kadai, rice shop, paanai kadai, tea shops and shops selling color rangoli powder).

10. If the hero is police then he will always be Assistant Commissioner. The Commissioner will be always a black sheep. New trend- Hero (police) will always wear a kappu in his hand.

11. If you see a happy family or twins in the beginning, then you can be sure that they will be separated. One boy will become police and the other will be with villain (Old trend).

12. The villain will always change his mind after 2 hrs 30 mins.

13. A flashback will have song and comedy track. Sometimes a flashback will have a flashback.

14. Eavesdropping (ottukekuradu) is a very important part in the film. Sometimes this is how the story gets the twist.

15. If the story moves to Andhra, for sure we are going to see some villain. Story is set in North India (Mumbai), for sure there will be a scenes of Vinayaga Chaturthi and Holi.

16. If villain dies in the end, it will be always by his mistake or accident- like, when hero & villain are fighting; villain will fall from the cliff or a tall building. If someone is going to kill the villain, it will be his wife\chinna vedu or by hero’ mother.

17. Climax- The heroine will be happy in romancing with hero even after seeing her father (villain) death.

What is your top 3 moments in the above list ?
