HP & the OOTP - Movie review



I'd always say that the book Order of the Phoenix is of a wondrous kind.
Everytime I read the final 4 or 5 chapters, I feel the surge of excitement.
Probably the best  one, a fantasy reader can ever get.

And now talking about the movie... I was just taken aback by the teaser trailor and was wondering
when it would hit the theatres..yet I knew the movie's release date.As every fan I too had a strong anticipation for the release.The day came..I made my way to the theatre nearby with my cousin who was another follower of the saga. We got into expecting for a class movie and it proved as it was so close to the mood of the book. Scenes were skipped, naturally in the way of covering all the matter.

I should defanitely quote about the stupendous performance of Helena Bonham Carter[Bellatrix Lestrange]...she portrayed a death eater very well.And about the settings they were
mind-blowing... they gave visualizations to my imaginations especially the Fountain of Magical Brethren...

I'd fail if I didn't mention Oliver & James Phelps for their animated fun scenes.
They were awesome. And Umbridge, she was less exaggerated in the movie...she was kind of
okay. David Yates has certainly rendered light on almost many of the chapters from the novel.
He showed how Harry thrives amidst encircling blues....

T'was quite neither  a great movie nor an usual one but somewhere in the middle.
Can't wait for the next one...

Simple, yet poignant lyrics (II)

I've got a knack of discovering pleasant songs, excellent movies, endearing books very late in time, sometimes even after it's fad fades away. One such song is Perunthil nee enaku... The beauty of this song is that it relates to some very simple, unnoticed but pleasing moments in a our day to day life. The duet is of two people who sing about  what they mean to each other. There are some cute imperfections in Madhushri's tamil pronunciation but the male singer makes up for all that. Duh! Why do I even have to annotate the lyrics? It speaks for itself. ;) Perunthil nee enaku jannal oram Pin vasal mutrathil ne tulasi madam Vidumurai natkalil pallikoodam Vilayattu pillaigalin chella kobam Aalilla nalliravil ketkum padal Anbe anbe neeye (hmmm....)

Quote Wonderment (I)

I'm totally sick of examinations and stuff. World's worst stressors are exams. I've always had this opinion right from my childhood. Hmmm... So to get a break I was running through my old memories and thoughts. One such is the admiration for this quote, "Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are." --Markus Zusak The quote itself is amazing. Reminds me of so many things. And note that Markus Zusak's wonderful book called 'The Book Thief' which was a good read. Laziness blocks me from writing more. ;)

Modern Parenting and how to gear up for challenges.

As a youngster you might have had an idea of parenting, like how you would want to raise your future child different from your mother's way of child rearing. But when you fail tremendously in the act and seek your mother's, grandmother's help, you have passed as a modern day parent facing innumerable difficulties bringing up your little munchkin. There is certainly no one particular way of parenting which could be deemed as the best.You must follow a realistic type which suits your own family and lifestyle. Old-fashioned parenting can never be shunned from your entire agenda, because at various situations it actually makes sense, not to mention common sense. Yet, insensible in some ways compared to the contemporary methods. There is no village There is an old saying, “It takes a village to raise a child”, meaning in olden days, it takes a whole community of different people who interact with children in order to raise and make sure your children grow in a ...
