LIKE A GENTLE NOVEMBER BREEZE

"For the first time, I felt a drama calming my nerves down; Zero anxiety; No stress; Nill cliffhangers. It's like sailing on a boat in lovely weather listening to the sounds of rumbling waves. The author Cathy Kelly had exquisitely created the characters and relationships among them. It's also not like a fairy tale all is well sort of a Novel. It is very believable and unfeigned. The writer's inventiveness truly lies in places where she had tried to bring in a little suspense and drama but still managed to create a pleasant bearing for this book.

Of course, it has been a wonderful experience getting teleported to the imaginary city Kinvarra and enjoying the glimpses of Ireland. Watching the happenings in and around the lives of 3 amazingly contradistinctive women for the past few months made me truly enjoy reading this book and imagining beautiful things.

MOVIE REVIEW-POSSUM

Possum (2018) Director: Matthew Holness Starring: Sean Harris, Alun Armstrong A defamed children's puppeteer who is emotionally unstable and psychologically scarred plans to dispose of his grotesque puppet. Every time she tries discarding it, the puppet comes back to haunt him emotionally by being there in his room the very next day. This disturbs him in turn and deprives him of his sleep. His step-father also lives next door with whom he has an estranged relationship. Meanwhile, a young boy in the same neighbourhood gets kidnapped and the policemen start suspecting the puppeteer for it, given his weird behaviour and constant trips with the bag. The climax of the movie gives answers to the following questions, -Who kidnapped the young lad? -Why does the possum keep chasing him? குழந்தைகளுக்காக பொம்மலாட்டம் செய்து வாழ்ந்து வருகிறார் அந்த நபர். தற்போது அந்த தொழிலுக்கு அவ்வளவு வரவேற்பு இல்லாததால் , தனக்கென இந்த உலகத்தில் இருக்கும் ஒரே துணையான "Possum" எனப்படும் அந...

ALL FOR NOTHING

A text's verbosity reaches unfathomable grandiosity when poetry meets prose. Michael Ondaatje is gifted enough to weave a tale that's tragic in parts but wholly serene. At its core, "In the Skin of a Lion" treads the rugged path that courses a life chart making the journey somewhat worthwhile. Patrick Lewis is wildly swayed by the situational currents while what he truly yearns for is an ounce of regulated love. Love that is messy, uncompromising and effusively profound enough to make him feel things. At the fag end of his life, Patrick understands the universe's twisted sense of humour. In Patrick's case, timing plays a cursed role. Expectations are detached to deadlines. Everything has to run its course. Alignments don't care about our whims and fancies. "Trust the process", we've been told. But here's the neat part. By the time the pieces fall into place, everything ceases to makes sense; all dwindled down to a bunch of baloney. Al...

MOVIE REVIEW- MODIGLIANI

MODIGLIANI (2004) Director: Mick Davis Starring : Andy García, Elsa Zylberstein, Omid Djalili Biopic of famous Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. The movie is set in Paris in 1919 and takes you on an artistic journey showcasing the life and works of Modigliani. During that era, Modigliani's biggest rival was another world-famous artist, Pablo Picasso. Their competition, self-centric approach and ego project them as mighty contenders and arch-rivals in the field of art. This eventually leads them to face each other in a famous competition that the whole world was waiting for Modigliani Vs Picasso. The works of Modigliani stood the test of time and were celebrated because of the emotions they radiated. To this day, this is being examined. All of Modigliani's works were the manifestation of his own emotions and experiences. This movie beautifully captures the personal story of the artist and closes with a climax that will leave you feeling heavy. Andy Garcia amazingly impers...
