Ross Island @ the Andamans and few Thathuvams...

On day two of our trip to the Andaman Islands, we went to this tiny island called Ross Island, which was just few kilometers away from the Port Blair.

In short the history of the island goes like this - During the British rule, this island was like the administrative capital of the Andaman Island. The British had all their offices, church, hospitals and residents constructed in this Island.

Then during the second world war, the island was attacked by the Japanese, who later took control of the island for next few years. After the world war, again the Ross Island came under the British control.

Then there was a big earthquake in the island - ruining all the buildings in the island. Today only the ruins of these buildings could be seen in the island. The damaged Church in this island have already come in many tamil movie songs (Uyirin Uyirae in Kakka Kakka)

What was more interesting to me were - the trees that had grown over the ruined buildings. The roots of these trees could be seen spreading all over the walls of the ruined buildings.

We grabbed the island from the nature and fought among ourselves to control it, but finally the Nature itself is taking the control over its property.

The Andamanz...

We went to the Andaman Islands after our marriage. If compared with the dirty beaches here in Chennai, the beaches in Andaman are real heaven.

Our long time desire to fly in an aeroplane and to travel by ship got fulfilled in this trip. The trip was fantastic.

The Mumbai Attack...

Another sad incident in the recent times. As a normal citizen, I can only pray, such incidents should never happen in future.

The Indian News channels used this incident as an opportunity to increase their TRPs.

By the way, why some of them were searching for Raj Thakre during this attack? May be they wanted to spoil the already spoiled situation.

Varanam Ayiram

The first half of the movie was good and the second half was boring. Surya's acting was good. He had put in plenty of efforts for this movie, but nothing of that was needed for this story.

I have a feeling that some other actor should have played that father's role.

When compared to her other movies, Sameera Reddy looked more graceful in this movie.

back @ work...

back to work after 3 weeks break. Its almost one week, since I have reported back at work, but still haven't pulled even a single nail. Trying to figure out the first nail for a loooooooong time.

Hope I will find that soon :-)
