Unbreakable - Strong yet brittle!!!

Even though it's been a while since the movie was released (almost 17 years ago), I watched it over the last weekend (thanks to Hotstar). The urge to watch this movie came from the movie Split, directed by the same director. The story line of Unbreakable is bit simple yet complicated, that's because, of the way the director had treated the pace of the movie.

It will test your patience, yet, at the end of the movie, you will feel that the time spent watching the movie is worthwhile. Having seen Bruce Willis in most of many action movies, it was quite extraordinary to see him perform in the most subtle way possible. Right from the opening sequence, the director has envisioned each and every scene and it was quite methodical in the way the camerawork and the actors have performed.

Having read and heard about this movie, I knew the plot but the most exciting aspect of watching a movie knowing the plot is the eagerness to know how the director has delivered the content. One of the most intriguing scene is the one where the kid (Bruce's son) believes that his dad is a super hero but tries to prove it. The follow up to that sequence is when Bruce informs in an exquisite manner that he indeed is the hero who saved the family. Both the sequences deserves a round of applause not only for Bruce and the kid but also to the director.

Overall, the movie is on the slower side but if you love the intricacies of direction and screenplay, you will have a good time watching this movie.

DRIVE TO KODAI IN THE BE(A)ST BIKE!!!

For a very long time, I have been wanting to go on a drive in my Royal Enfield 350. Everytime, the idea will be dropped at the planning stage due to some constraint. However, few months back, myself and my friend wanted to get this plan worked out and decided to go on the trip on Jan 26th 2017. Basically, the plan was to do a round trip, Chennai - Kodaikaanal - Chennai. Planning Phase: During the initial period, there were many who showed interest in joining us for the trip. However, as the days passed by, the interest level got drained off and it was myself and my friend who decided to go on this trip. Finally, it was 2 bikes (2 Royal Enfield 350cc), 2 people (Myself and Sudhakar), 4 days trip. The plan itinerary was to start our drive on 26th Jan early morning 4:30AM and reach Kodai around 5PM the same day. Next day (27th Jan), local tour of Kodai (Visiting all the primary spots). By 28th Jan morning, around 8AM, start our journey and head towards Salem for our night halt an

THE BEAST UNLEASHED!!!!

In the month of Jan 2017, I was happy to have accomplished and share with you all, my first ever bike trip to Kodaikaanal and it was an amazing experience. By the end of the Kodai trip, myself and my friend were contemplating the idea of going on another trip probably few months later. And now, after 7 months, we have completed an awesome bike trip and I am very eager to share the trip along with you all. Ever since we completed the Kodai trip, whenever we met, we always ensured to remind ourselves that we have to go on another trip somewhere, sometime soon. Finally, we decided to use the long weekends in the month of August 2017. As always, there were initial hiccups on deciding the places, between Wayaanad/Ooty and finally out of nowhere the thought of Coorg lit us bright. Planning Phase: After much discussions, the date was fixed and by 25th July 2017, we decided and confirmed that we shall be doing a bike trip to Coorg (Madikeri) and the route plan will be CHENNAI - CO

A Bird's Eye view of Chennai from Light House!!!

Most of those who have Chennai as their birth place, might not have visited the light house and I was one among them till 6th Dec 2013. I have to be honest, it's been more than 3 years since I visited the Light House but still I am able to recollect the memories as if it happened recently. Situated at the beginning of the world famous Marina Beach, it was opened to public after a gap of 2 decades. The view from the top is absolutely stunning, especially the sea side view, provides a different outlook about the sea. There are totally 10 floors at the light house and the 9th floor alone is open for public view. You can reach the 9th floor using the elevator service. Pictures should speak for themselves and I hope you too will agree as you go through them!!! About Light House!!!
