I went to watch Jailer for a 3:30 pm show in Bangalore on Sunday. It was a packed theatre and there was a roar that I had never heard for any other Tamil movie in recent times as soon as the "SUPER STAR RAJNI" animation was played. That was just the start of the fun.
Jailer is a complete entertainer for the majority of the Tamil mass movie fans.
These are just some things I could remember. Overall, the experience of watching a Rajnikanth movie amidst 100s of other Rajni fans who are hooting and whistling for every action scene is something to cherish.
Overall, I would encourage the young people who haven't yet experienced Rajnikanth's aura, should go and watch this movie in the theatres.
Ever since I started following Cheeky Vlogs, Youtube has been silently pushing all her other channels. And I am glad to say the least.
I have also been browsing Cars24 to look for cars and their prices in Bangalore. I have a 5 years old Maruti Celerio X ZXI(o) AMT model that I bought in 2018 and basically I am just contemplating whether I should upgrade to a SUV because, how do I put it decently, doesn't feel so safe on Bangalore's pot-hole filled roads. The amount of head bobs one gets in this car is not even funny.
Anyway, that was a short context but the main thing I want to talk about is this video Subha and Vignesh (remember them from my other post here ) posted 7 months ago that Youtube recommended to me today.
It's a 43 minute long chat/narration that Vignesh and Subha give us about their car upgrade experience. I literally feel like the universe is giving me signs via them now :-) Though video looks long, it's entertaining to someone like me who likes conversations.
The way they narrated all their stories about hopping car showrooms for test drives, to Vignesh's first car delivery accident with 'Cooper' (yes he names his cars and that's so cool), to the moment when they sat in that Jeep compass in the showroom and looked at each other with a smile, etc, etc, etc.. All the scenes played through my head like a movie - with lots of humour filled moments.
It's also fascinating to see this young couple and the aspirations they have and the determination with which they approach life. They are so confident about attaining all their goals -- slowly, but definitely. That's kind of inspiring too. They bought the Jeep (and called it Butter) for ~34L and are aiming for an upgrade to a German car in next 5 to 7 years (all the best for that V & S).
I have never sat in a Jeep compass, but the way S & V spoke about it, I felt like I must definitely consider Jeep compass for my upgrade - so far, me having the middle class mindset, was considering Brezza/Creta as an upgrade to my Celerio. But this video has inspired me to look at Jeep too - perhaps Jeep should sponsor this vide ;-P
Lastly, V also spoke about that emotional moment when he sold Cooper and related that to a 'Bidaai' scene in a marriage where the girl goes away from her parent's house to her in-laws. I will be prepared when time comes for me to sell my Paprica Orange Celerio!
In any case, all I want to say is today I had fun watching this long chat and I would definitely recommend anyone who understands Tamil - whether or not you are looking for a car upgrade - go and watch this video. Just for fun.
This podcast is a very recent discovery for me - about 2 months old discovery as of today :-D
As the name of the podcast suggests, this podcast discusses movies from the 90s and 2000s mostly. It's main hosts are Abbas and Urjita and they are super funny. They usually invite another guest who chooses the movie that gets discussed on the podcast.
I have been addicted to this show mostly because its super funny and all credits to Urjita and Abbas for keeping the show's mood so light. Though its funny, it also discusses a lot of serious issues from the se yester-year movies. The podcast ends with the panel giving their verdict on whether the movie has ages well or not.
Also, shoutout to Urjita - she is the game changer on this podcast and without her and her vivacious and bubbly personality, the podcast would not be the same.
I have watched almost all the episodes and here are my top choices for whoever wants to get a glimpse of the vibe of this super cool podcast.
To all the Bollywood movie buffs out there, Enjoy!!!
I have been an Abhistu fan for the longest time, ever since I saw the "Double meaning Tamil songs" videos. A year or so ago, Youtube started recommending me "Cheeky Vlogs" (run by Subha who is another popular Indian Youtuber and also Abhistu/Vignesh's wife).
The cheeky vlogs are quite addictive and a provide an extensive look into a modern Indian family of 3 - Subha, Vignesh and their doggo Bigil :-)
Subha's vlogging style is the perfect blend of confidence and vulnerability. She is modern yet traditional, an independent working woman yet a loving and caring wife.
Watching her vlogs provides a lot of insight about how the people born in the 90s are leading their family units. Here are some of the things that I noticed as a fellow unmarried 90s kid who still lives parents.
- They have a pet to start off with. That seems like a common trend among this generation to have pets before they have kids.
- They have a lot of house plants.
- There is a lot of online shopping of course. There is also a sprinkling of luxury shopping that is new to Indians in general but common among upper middle class in urban cities now a days.
- There are a lot of mini weekend vacations/dates. This is quite a welcome change from our parents' generation.
- Spending time with friends has become as important as spending time with the extended family.
- There is a lot of focus on health - both physical and mental health.
- There is also a lot of effort and time spent in keeping their house clean and well decorated.
- This generation is entrepreneurial and ambitious. They invest a lot in their career in terms of time, effort and money.
Overall, Cheeky vlogs is a very enjoyable channel - Like a hot chocolate drink on a rainy day :-)
