Wonder Woman - Girl Power!!!

Wonder Woman - One of the many super hero movies from DC comics and for a change, the super hero is actually a Super Heroine!!! Yes, I accept that one of the reasons I went to watch this movie is for the heroine - Gal Gadot. She was a part of the F&F franchise and I was bit sad that she was taken out from the F&F series, but, glad to hear that she is part of the Justice League!!!

As always, Wonder Woman movie is slated as the origin of Wonder Woman and the only expectation I had is to know how are they going to link this with Justice League. The beginning of the movie provides you the justification and also sets the tone for the journey. The movie is all about a pre-historic event that happened which gave way to the introduction of Wonder Woman. If you had seen Batman Vs Superman:Dawn of Justice, you would be able to relate the sequences.

Coming to the movie, it is an action packed entertainer and as usual filled with logic defying action sequences. However, the choreography of the stunts are amazing, especially, the Slow-Mo in-between the action is very much to be appreciated. Special accolades to the CG work to showcase the kingdom of Themyscira, which was amazing!!! The sequence of explaining the creation of Themyscira is to be appreciated (told by the queen as a bed time story to her daughter) which forms the crux of the daughter's belief and the understanding of Go(o)d vs Evil.

The war sequences (1st World War) is well taken and is visually well planned and executed. The dialogues between Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) and Wonder Woman, in the first half, is filled with great sense of humor. If compared, this is the only super hero movie to have less action sequences. Especially, towards the end, the director could have avoided few dialogue exchanges, which are not required and I saw them as clichéd.

It's is very hard to remember a super hero movie without Danny Huston (General Stryker of Wolverine series) and he does his role to perfection (Gn.Ludendorff). Also, the performance of Patrick Morgan/Ares (David Thewlis) is also respectable and fits aptly.

Overall, the movie is a fun filled action entertainer and as always, go with your hands full (with popcorn and beverages) and mind free!!!!

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!!! View from the Top  Police Headquarters  Right Side View from the Top Yeah, you won't survive the fall Calmness of the Sea!!! The Green Corrido
