It all started with a simple forward in our WhatsApp group to remind us about our earlier trip and I replied "next trip when" without any intention of even going to a trip, but to my surprise everyone said yes. It was my previous company's gang, where no one is working there and few people are not even in Chennai now. But, everyone immediately said yes and I didn't even expect it.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjg2g66NmJDiAKSjJrCAI81KhE-DCJnVF0Dcn2z_vO-BXjvlaowrPq7V4PINXXK2SoC4Fnnab2NOHy3mKKBaDfLX6QVJs44BW-sYkEhSOLGBh6Q1YzDdJRC5IpMGVqG-7UdWKOlwhxuyDM4Z6Ia4K91otQfAdwukc0or8ut1U7h3MTHNn_Xgn2EnUzNA/s4000/1653477712823.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjg2g66NmJDiAKSjJrCAI81KhE-DCJnVF0Dcn2z_vO-BXjvlaowrPq7V4PINXXK2SoC4Fnnab2NOHy3mKKBaDfLX6QVJs44BW-sYkEhSOLGBh6Q1YzDdJRC5IpMGVqG-7UdWKOlwhxuyDM4Z6Ia4K91otQfAdwukc0or8ut1U7h3MTHNn_Xgn2EnUzNA/w640-h480/1653477712823.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /><b>The best pic of this trip was clicked by a random person - Kolukkumalai Sunrise Spot</b></td></tr></tbody></table><p>We decided to go to Kanthaloor and Kolukkumalai, the Kolukkumalai Sunrise spot is the only place we all wanted to see. Actually I didn't even care about the places we are going to visit, I just want this get-together to take place since haven't seen most of these people since the lockdown. Unfortunately one person had to drop out at the last minute so 7 members were on for the trip. Everyone was coming to Coimbatore from Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore on Saturday morning and we planned to start as early as 4 to 4:30 from Coimbatore to Udumalpet, where we will be picked by a jeep arranged by our travel agent. </p><p><b>The Twist</b>: Then comes the twist that I was expecting since the start, since everything was going smooth since the start, on Friday night I got a back pain and become so severe. When everyone arrived here at CBE, I was on the way to hospital. And, after getting some injection and in half mind I asked them to come and pick me up. I was in no position to even sit in that car and even my wife wanted to ask me to stay back, but since I was preparing for this trip for almost a month she didn't say anything. Our next stop was to stop and pick another guy which was some 10kms from my home. And, after reaching there I decided to come back home and took a call taxi. I know I am going to regret missing this since it won't be easy to get everyone together for another trip in near future, but my pain was unbearable. Right after reaching home I felt better, before even dropping the bag, I was like I would like to go back and join them again. My wife who couldn't even process that I came back was totally confused when I asked should I go back :D. Then, after thinking for about 2 mins, I decided to go back and join them at Udumalpet and asked my gang to wait. Luckily the calltaxi I came home was waiting in front of my home itself and asked him itself to drop me at Udumelpet, hoping I wont get the pain again since this trip has some trekking and off road rides.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPXXN60HdRisiuQQELVYuXUC-jLTH9EHvSIoTaWVTmGFND11nWPRtYBoPEnUlPoFInySsS7Zboz5zPdFNmIoH2t-P_ndbb98xTeFDi_TuGBfcWRLinY6OmIpnWkJKfjpzGyuw-TgrGIScvcIGd_NUOKSdZLAPcUQzRn8pZgPbcBp3-JaMuFyQfB9f5fw/s4000/1653477212643.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPXXN60HdRisiuQQELVYuXUC-jLTH9EHvSIoTaWVTmGFND11nWPRtYBoPEnUlPoFInySsS7Zboz5zPdFNmIoH2t-P_ndbb98xTeFDi_TuGBfcWRLinY6OmIpnWkJKfjpzGyuw-TgrGIScvcIGd_NUOKSdZLAPcUQzRn8pZgPbcBp3-JaMuFyQfB9f5fw/w640-h480/1653477212643.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /><b>Thoovanam Waterfalls<br /></b><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><b>Day 1 - Thoovanam Waterfalls</b>: Finally, I joined back with my gang in Udumelpet and they were also refreshed and waiting for our pickup in a Jeep. I was just in time as well. And, our first stop was at Thoovanam waterfalls. It needed a 3 km trekking, I was skeptical, but decided to go on. It was mildly difficult, mostly due to my weight :D. But, it was all worth it, the waterfalls was too good to miss. It looked exactly like what we saw in the google. Once we reached, as usual after clicking some pics, we all went in to bath and luckily it was only us until we finished. Then, after another long session of photoshoot, we decided to go back since it started raining. The return wasn't as difficult for almost 80%, we took a shortcut to reach the road, which was steep and drained all of our energy. The first spot itself was the best and it was more than I expected from this trip. We didn't plan anything for the day other than reaching our stay at Kanthaloor, mud house. And, in the night we went on a most boring night safari after enjoying camp fire and barbecue, we were expecting them to take us into the forest, but we just rode in the same road we came and returned without seeing any animal. A lorry driver warned us there was an elephant while we were returning, but we didn't witness any.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8wgcUtopbz5QwrkCSzleaAow_U2xMl8x4hms1Rv8KklL9VAL8kG67LtVfDvqMpJ9n0Qz1upOBtEcn9U9d8GvXytOBzcJKCwcnrCaFMZGJ4fItf8PjxW2q-6xqYMIya3K3kdwIGlcUC6tEz3FQUAPA3TYojKzj7XoA-dlryC517sPXXth1qqKLzXcodA/s4000/1653477331684.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8wgcUtopbz5QwrkCSzleaAow_U2xMl8x4hms1Rv8KklL9VAL8kG67LtVfDvqMpJ9n0Qz1upOBtEcn9U9d8GvXytOBzcJKCwcnrCaFMZGJ4fItf8PjxW2q-6xqYMIya3K3kdwIGlcUC6tEz3FQUAPA3TYojKzj7XoA-dlryC517sPXXth1qqKLzXcodA/w640-h480/1653477331684.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><b><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKUHtAQO_Mbz4_bHQczUDQOT_FCaruEX3Au9QFpxU0Pk65nf2h38EccuckCDHq7GaoiMhCG7FQI9dJFmcq9bzLTIi47j5TAVZSHNnZ59hOWhWQGyQftoFvC5Qv9WqBOVIj0sLeekIz-ZaF62baJnJMxqH0fwjpx9DPUW_FSz5H9SHslOtoVqcTkKIAyg/s4000/1653477355779.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKUHtAQO_Mbz4_bHQczUDQOT_FCaruEX3Au9QFpxU0Pk65nf2h38EccuckCDHq7GaoiMhCG7FQI9dJFmcq9bzLTIi47j5TAVZSHNnZ59hOWhWQGyQftoFvC5Qv9WqBOVIj0sLeekIz-ZaF62baJnJMxqH0fwjpx9DPUW_FSz5H9SHslOtoVqcTkKIAyg/w640-h480/1653477355779.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><b><br /></b><p></p>Day 2 - The Otha Malai Spot</b>: The next day we all got up fairly early and decided to go to see a spot instead of a waterfall. And, we packed our breakfast as well to have it there in a scenic view. Our jeep got stuck and so we were made to walk little extra than it was needed and decided to have our breakfast. That was not a good spot, it was full of leeches and we all were jumping and hopping and constantly checking each other legs to spot the leeches. Then, we walked even further to get to the spot and the view was spectacular. As usual no one came there, spent a little time there and we got back to our room and packed to go to our next spot Suriyanelli. And, we all tasted Passion fruit for the first time before leaving our room, it was too good. We stopped at Munnar town and it was freaking cold, had bajji, bought a jerkin. And, also stopped some of the spots on the way to take some pictures, like Lakham falls, and we reached our place, tent stay in the middle of a tea estate it was almost dark. Two more groups were with us for a common camp fire, but it was ruined because of the wind and after dinner we all went to sleep early by 10:30 into our tent, which wasn't good, so that we can all get up by 3:30 and proceed to the Sunrise spot.<p></p><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY6_A6YAbN6_D4JDrqHZSB0QS-oPZ4toDR9yQyPu3zUyriNYy0LVSOqTfG5YPHNMvahRFZ4jNcaYHG3ypiREfYDWowzFAPun6YQ7GzZoJtd3LyOrXPIaVIE7LoMtQYEuowJfiC_gPCbTA40tkNBthm-19aFmHpdU_rMh5mNy66fFPjrKctmc7HqHeCBA/s1280/1653477678612.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY6_A6YAbN6_D4JDrqHZSB0QS-oPZ4toDR9yQyPu3zUyriNYy0LVSOqTfG5YPHNMvahRFZ4jNcaYHG3ypiREfYDWowzFAPun6YQ7GzZoJtd3LyOrXPIaVIE7LoMtQYEuowJfiC_gPCbTA40tkNBthm-19aFmHpdU_rMh5mNy66fFPjrKctmc7HqHeCBA/w640-h360/1653477678612.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiBapD97fEIJc7NLCAqzpdoxLoEFVO271fuDzF0GZL4duy8mehElNAJOZTddgE2LK-Q3qrlnw6I3VdqsXliUPlmabdzkXP7H9XWIWmtMG66R2g_vHV0U_9HI3ENzWTbTJjwmy0iRWm62xE3ZWcizdDc1F6kteHsJbkzwSSzW8oej05vYKZGRfl4j3z1w/s4000/1653477678618.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiBapD97fEIJc7NLCAqzpdoxLoEFVO271fuDzF0GZL4duy8mehElNAJOZTddgE2LK-Q3qrlnw6I3VdqsXliUPlmabdzkXP7H9XWIWmtMG66R2g_vHV0U_9HI3ENzWTbTJjwmy0iRWm62xE3ZWcizdDc1F6kteHsJbkzwSSzW8oej05vYKZGRfl4j3z1w/w640-h480/1653477678618.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhurBPKvYyGN98LWKei3VQL_zjV6nxQbiK1x4QmizxdqeQ0uMuJMQdZGElY52beeLv4264fWAb5SwlNU114VnqV8CQFSL9DXw7SvnS9uzicoPa22UbMatCz-SISUjETjh-SXTW4keROexUdGOUGMruDRyYYFBbty87vn3IqocvTbHIM5pNgy7LZFCQYew/s4000/1653477712803.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhurBPKvYyGN98LWKei3VQL_zjV6nxQbiK1x4QmizxdqeQ0uMuJMQdZGElY52beeLv4264fWAb5SwlNU114VnqV8CQFSL9DXw7SvnS9uzicoPa22UbMatCz-SISUjETjh-SXTW4keROexUdGOUGMruDRyYYFBbty87vn3IqocvTbHIM5pNgy7LZFCQYew/w640-h480/1653477712803.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqsczh2axt-2IL6kA4-l1xkyS3wzXqWFdAXr1ovZ3Pd17v-T0HlSFMpu4Z6UgngOFceBOGUxJQMBTPz9l949CdQoWNxqwgUCv7TrjlHXXYaGGlCkWCYMiZXwPeAlgk1OhWj5lOHZwhKgHV7GWyaMHq8LqZuvNxuiTrHSeLBr0RuT5Fz23DTFN5uV7aA/s4000/1653477712810.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqsczh2axt-2IL6kA4-l1xkyS3wzXqWFdAXr1ovZ3Pd17v-T0HlSFMpu4Z6UgngOFceBOGUxJQMBTPz9l949CdQoWNxqwgUCv7TrjlHXXYaGGlCkWCYMiZXwPeAlgk1OhWj5lOHZwhKgHV7GWyaMHq8LqZuvNxuiTrHSeLBr0RuT5Fz23DTFN5uV7aA/w640-h480/1653477712810.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPLj26D2krFhcfDjLs-5aQKWfbkSYajIcPT_4W1hvrPPPS1YHNMo9K67VtSJ_Y36ONUZDQM88bNmgd0m4mPIursWhbS71daYvnqrW3kOWBvktO2VjTf4Uj1i8zUzElMdoGS4UbY_3POA5F22556gnZgcHUPf_spuP3HILtfBbeYGsWCGRfnkN_OYXEw/s4000/1653477712818.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPLj26D2krFhcfDjLs-5aQKWfbkSYajIcPT_4W1hvrPPPS1YHNMo9K67VtSJ_Y36ONUZDQM88bNmgd0m4mPIursWhbS71daYvnqrW3kOWBvktO2VjTf4Uj1i8zUzElMdoGS4UbY_3POA5F22556gnZgcHUPf_spuP3HILtfBbeYGsWCGRfnkN_OYXEw/w640-h480/1653477712818.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>Day 3 - Kolukkumalai Sunrise Spot</b>: We all did actually getup at 3 and got into the jeeps by 4:30, which was really unbelievable in that freaking cold. Then, we proceeded towards that Kolukkumalai spot in an off road ride, which was easily the most off road I have ever traveled compared to my other jeep rides. It was literally just rocks and we reached the spot before 5:30 and had to walk a little to reach that Jaguar rock peak and we all waited and witnessed the Sunrise, this is the first time I have ever visited any Sunrise spot. The view was excellent and a little scary as well. We spent most of the time there in and around that spot and some photoshoots and videos, yes a newly added DJI Pocket Osmo from this trip for the videos. Then, came back to our tent, again took some pics and videos and left. We thought we could visit one more spot before leaving, but after reaching Munnar and finishing our purchase we didn't have much time. So, we all proceeded straight to the Coimbatore Railway station earlier than their train departure. We all had our last supper in a hotel and gave piriyavidai to everyone. <p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgQojX1pKxFdRqhBPBuMPPR8i1-08UC7fWHgdzKMORy0Ie2hSquIIiYI6VbYOh-vRaj578XHWOHSI9NFMFVdKfocGjoM4PzQwAVOcieBHbniQWkisTYdLNGIter0Yu69csGRlzpmvHXAqUzHKeiDX7yyL-W_OhgzN5peBdEtfNs-C3lPwYVIlWxxbCYQ/s4000/1653477539362.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

They were invincible like the Aussies in their prime. What seemed like an impossible tournament with a lot of doubts turned out to be wonderful entertainment and kudos to everyone involved for finishing it successfully without any glitch.<div><br /></div><div>For the first time, <b>CSK</b> didn't get to the playoffs, <b>RCB</b> went to the playoffs after 4 years, <b>DC</b> into the finals for the first time and <b>MI</b> won the championship in an even year, but <span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">it's <b>2020</b> we shouldn't be surprised by any of this.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">Here are some of the highlights from this year's IPL.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">MIvsCSK </span>Started with INDvsPAK of IPL and Dhoni was playing after 434 days in his new look, but it was an anticlimax with the bat. And, the first ball of this year was bowled by covid recovered <b>Chahar</b>. CSK<b> </b>won it after MI's 4-0 last year thanks to <b>Rayudu</b> and <b>Faf</b>. Overall a fantastic start, little did we know it gonna be a contrasting season for both the teams.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">DCvsKX1 start their campaign with a thriller. Shami was best with the new ball and <b>Stoinis </b>rescued DC at the end. And, while chasing <b>Mayank </b>singlehandedly took them to victory, but playing Bangladesh player shot playing in the air when a single would have been enough and match went to super over thanks to <b>Stoinis</b> again for that final over with two wickets. And, <b>Rabada</b> just like last year picked two wickets in the super over for just 2 runs and <b>DC </b>won it eventually. </span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">SRHvsRCB, RCB start with a win thanks to a fantastic 50 on debut by <b>Padikkal</b>, and once again it was <b>Chahal</b> with a ball who triggered a collapse when SRH was at 121 for 2 chasing 163 and eventually got all out for 153.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">RRvsCSK, <b>Sanju </b>Samson hits 9 sixes in Sharjah and RR reach 216, but CSK decided to play for NRR after 12 overs especially Dhoni, who finished with 3 sixes of the last ball which was utterly useless, if only they have won this, things would have been different towards the end of the tournament.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">KX1vsRCB, <b>Rahul </b>scored 132, from 90 of 60 to 132 of 69 thanks to</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"> Kohli for dropping him twice, and RCB while chasing fell short of KL's total itself.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">KX1vsRR, <b>Rahul</b>, and <b>Mayank's </b>opening stand were 183 and they reach 223, once again <b>Sharjah Samson</b> played an excellent inning of 85 off 42 balls, but it was <b>Tewatia </b>who stole the show with a remarkable turnaround. This was the best <b>moment of this IPL</b> easily, from 17 of 23 where everybody expected him to get out, he scored 30 off Cortrell's over and finishes the inning with 53 of 31.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">RCBvsMI RCB scored 201 though Kohli failed to score thanks to 50s from Padikkal, Finch, and ABD. But, <b>Ishan </b>playing his first game for MI scores 99 along with <b>Pollard's </b>60 of just 24 and almost won the game, but it went to super over. <b>Saini </b>was excellent in the super over and MI was able to score 7 and RCB won it.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">CSKvsKX1 After a hat-trick of losses CSK makes comeback with a 10 wicket win against KX1, <b>Watson </b>as promised on Twitter delivers a perfect game for CSK and he finally made a major contribution in this season.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">CSKvsKKR, but in the very next game CSK lost a winnable game. First, it was <b>Dhoni </b>11(12) who struggled against the spin and got out to <b>Varun, </b>and then came this season's most talked-about CSK player, <b>Jhadav </b>with an excellent inning of 7(12) who has the audacity to refuse the second when Jaddu called. KKR bat first in 5 years and 69 matches after winning the toss in this match and delaying Narine's entry worked wonders where they pulled off a heist.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">KX1vsKKR, KX1always does a reverse <b>Tewatia </b>during the first half of this season, chasing 151 they were going comfortably at </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">115/1</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">and lost by 2 runs. Needed a six off the last ball for super over, Maxwell's hit was just short of few inches. Once again KKR won the impossible match where KX1 needed 21 off 16 with 8 wickets.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">SRHvsRR, Chasing 163, RR lost Buttler, Stokes, Samson, Smith they were 5 for 78, but <b>Parag </b>and <b>Tewatia </b>again do it for RR. Both the players were playing strike rate less than 100, but in the end, they made it, especially Tewatia's two reverse sweeps against Rashid was the turning point.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">KKRvsRCB, Sharjah's pitch has slowed down and everyone was struggling to score, then comes <b>ABD </b>and scores 73 of just 33 at an SR of 221 where even <b>Virat </b>was struggling with an SR of 117. Nobody got going KKR and they lost by 82 runs and it was solely ABD's brilliance.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">KX1vsRCB, the universe boss <b>Gayle </b>is back from the hospital and starts with a 50, but as usual, KX1 almost choked this as well. With 2 runs needed from the last over with Gayle run out and they needed 1 from the last ball, Pooran clears Morris to win it, it was just inches away from getting caught.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">RCBvsRR, freak <b>ABD </b>does it again for RCB, when they needed 60 from 26 balls and AB Devilliers was 8*(9) and then he scores 6,0,6,2,4,1,1,6,6,6,1,2,6 and took the team into victory.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">CSKvsDD, CSK didn't want to get <b>Dhawan </b>out they keep dropping catches of him and he went on to score his first century in the IPL and with 17 needed off the last over and with Bravo injured, it was Jadeja who bowled against the two left-handers and <b>Axar </b>hits 3 sixes to seal the game.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">KKRvsSRH and KX1vsMI, that was super over Sunday, with <b>Warner </b>playing in the middle order against some ordinary bowling by Russel's in final over he couldn't cross the line and in the super over <b>Fergusson </b>were great and KKR won it easily. And, in the second game for the first time, we saw two super overs and KX1 finally won it thanks to <b>Mayank's </b>incredible stop at the boundary line and hitting the winning runs in the second super over. The first super over, saw both Bumrah and Shami executing the yorkers, especially Shami. Overall a Super Sunday it was.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">CSKvsRR, after a string of worst performances Dhoni keeps <b>Jhadav </b>in the eleven, but not trusting him enough to send him ahead of Jadeja, with zero intent from Dhoni and Jadeja CSK manages just 125 with 5 wickets remaining. RR had some trouble losing early wickets and <b>Buttler </b>came and shows them how it is done by scoring 70 out of the target and finishes it.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">KKRvsRCB, RCB's new ball bowling was unbelievable with two consecutive maidens from <b>Siraj </b>who picked 3 wickets and there were two more maidens with a total of 4 maidens for the first time in IPL, and KKR manages just 84 from 3-3. </span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">CSKvsMI, after a lot of debate on "spark", CSK decided to drop Jhadav and opted to go with the young guns and both Ruturaj and Jagadeesh failed to score and the scorecard read 3-4, worst start ever and thanks to Curran they go past the 84 and reach 116 and MI finishes it in no loss with Rohit's absence <b>Ishan </b>was promoted as an opener and he delivers with a 68 not out.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">KKRvsDC after a collapse in the previous game KKR turns it around with the bat thanks to <b>Rana </b>and <b>Narine</b> and they post 194, but DC collapses 135 with <b>Varun</b> taking a 5 for.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">KX1vsSRH, SRH does a KX1 against KX1 itself, chasing just 125, they choked by losing 7 wickets for 14 runs and lost the match by 12 runs.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">RRvsMI, RR sticking with Stokes as an opener eventually paid off chasing 195 against MI, thanks to Pandya's 60 of just 21 balls, <b>Stokes</b> scored a century and <b>Samson</b> too scored a 50 and they won it with 8 wickets against the mighty MI.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">SRHvsDC, who would have thought replacing <b>Saha</b> for <b>Bairstow</b> will be the turn around SRH needed, Warner and Saha came out all guns blazing and scored 219, with 77 runs in powerplay, and Saha top scored with 83. DC never got going and <b>Rashid</b> finished with an excellent spell of 3 wickets for just 7 runs.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">KX1vsRR, <b>Gayle</b> proves he still got it with a 99, who fell short of a century against Archer, but RR once again chases 185 handing KX1 their first loss after their 5 consecutive wins.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"> </span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">CSKvsKX1 CSK once out of contention started winning with <b>Ruturaj </b>hitting 3 consecutive 50s while chasing, showing some much-needed "spark" and ending the KX1's chances of entering the playoffs as well, also they made sure they didn't end up at the bottom of the table.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">MIvsDC, in the first qualifier mightly MI once again reach 200 though Rohit and Pollard got out for a duck, DC's scorecard read 0 for 3 and they just couldn't win against MI at all. <b>Bumrah's </b>yorker to Dhawan was fantastic to watch.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">RCBvsSRH, Virat finally decides to open, but couldn't score big and RCB reaches just 131, but with some tight bowling they were in the contest till the end, but cool-headed <b>Williamson</b> sees them through with an unbeaten 50. Also, <b>Nattu's</b> yorker to clean up well set ABD was an excellent ball of the tournament.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">DCvsSRH, in the second qualifier DC decided to open with <b>Stoinis</b> and it paid off eventually and none of their openers got out for a duck, and once again Williamson threatens to take the game away, but DC manages to win and reach the IPL finals for the first time.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Final, just like last year they did against CSK winning all four games, this time MI won all four games against DC, with Stoinis getting out of the first ball and <b>Rohit</b> coming to form they won the finals easily without much drama. It was hard luck for DC though after losing initial wickets Shreyas and Rishab Pant rebuild their inning. After a disappointing season, Pant finally scored a 50, but it was not enough.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">Looking forward to next year's IPL, hopefully in India, and wonder how CSK's gonna go with their approach. With Raina and Bhajji deciding to leave the tournament wonder whether they will be back to CSK next year with Watson already announcing his retirement, it could/should be a new <b>CSK </b>next year. Even in their worst season, they were just one game short of qualifying, so things should return to normal next year.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><b>My Best XI of the tournament</b></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"> 1.

<br>
So, this year I've seen <b>231</b> movies and in that <b>67</b> in theaters, which includes <b>Avengers: Endgame </b>four times. And, that's my best English movie of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And, in Tamil, it is <b>Asuran</b>, which was outstanding from the combo which never disappoints.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Kumbalangi Nights</b> was the best Malayalam movie for me which was so beautiful with some amazing songs and fantastic performances by Soubin and Fahad. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div>
And, <b>Gully Boy </b>was terrific, with Ranveer and Alia in top form and the underdog rising to success was very well made.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<b>Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya </b>was unexpectedly funny and also turns into an excellent thriller with another Indianized version of Sherlock and it's my Telugu movie of the year.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Saw a handful of foreign movies (mostly Korean) and <b>Parasite</b> was outstanding and the only Kannada movie <b>Kavaludaari</b> was an excellent thriller too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Asuran</span> - </b>Vetri Maran and Dhanush give us another fantastic raw revenge drama which was more than revenge and talks about the caste system is my movie of the year.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Thadam</span></b> - This double action thriller kept me guessing till the end which void of all the cliches associated with double action movies once again proves Maghizh Thirumeni was an excellent director.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Sillu Karupatti </span></b>- The four heartwarming tales about love were cute and sweet just like the title.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Super Deluxe </span></b>- TKR returns with another wacky movie that had some terrific moments and Rasukutty.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Kaithi</span></b> - True to its genre without any unnecessary songs or flashback with Karthi in brilliant form. </li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Game Over </span></b>- Another movie which never lets you predict anything and also let you take away with whatever you </li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Oththa Seruppu </span></b>- Parthpan who tries something different which sometimes clicks and this movie took me some time to get used to its style and kept me interesting even though we get to see the only character.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Kaalidas</span></b> - Another one of my favorite genre which actually didn't give a clue till the very ending and I was really frustrated.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Monster</span> - </b>Just a house and a rat, but the movie was fun and interesting.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Jiivi</span> -</b> The concept was really interesting and with some known faces it could have got more recognition it deserved.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Sivappu Manjal Pachai </span>- </b>Story about 'brother-sister', 'maman-machan' but without too much drama, but it could have had some better climax.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Irandam Ulaga Porin Kadaisi Gundu </span></b>- Actually got to know some shocking facts and the movie delivers some message without preaching and in an interesting way.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Peranbu</span> -</b> The most difficult movie to watch which was depressing and ends with some hope. But, I will never revisit.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Vellai Pookal</span> - </b>My favorite genre and it was interesting till the end though it was little amateur at some places. </li>
<li><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Bigil</b></span> - Entertaining!! Yes, with all those copied from many movies it was still fun :D</li>

Yessss, finally, GVM's <i>Enai Noki Payum Thota </i>got released and <b>Maruvaarthai</b> is easily my most heard song to date and the whole album was fantastic. Mr X didn't disappoint. And, it is <b>Uyiril Thodum </b>from Kumbalangi Nights and its video must be my most-watched on YouTube this year since it was a ritual to watch it every weekend during my lunch.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga</b>, the remix which was still fresh just like its original and in Telugu it was Justin's <b>Kadallale</b> which was catchy from the instant I saw its teaser. And, the best album of this year across languages easily.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And, this year completely moved onto online streaming and to Gaana from Saavn since it has more albums. So, I've given my playlists which has the Top 20 followed by my other favorites as well.</div>

My third trip within two months, this time with the KONE boys. Yes, the sequel to our <a href="https://sujathanesan.blogspot.com/2018/10/rajapalayam-and-then-mala-thea-vera.html">The Vera Level trip </a>is here thanks to the guy who's back to India and another guy who's going to leave India, unfortunately, who couldn't make it to this trip at the last moment. He was the organizer of the V.L 1.0 and also the planner for this trip who never shared the actual plan till the last moment. This also turned out to be a sequel to my <a href="https://sujathanesan.blogspot.com/2017/07/vagamon-wow-what-beauty.html">Vagamon</a> trip which I went a few years back.<br />

The Plan: </h4>
<div>
When a group was created out guys shared an extraordinary itinerary which I guess could take at least a week to cover, but after few days we booked a resort for a day in Vagamon and booked a tempo traveler. Other than that nothing was planned or at least not communicated to me till I boarded that traveler.</div>

The Start:</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
As planned we all started on Friday night from Chennai, the final count was 11 and the destination was to reach Kumbakarai Falls, which was the only thing planned. The traffic was too much on every toll gates even with Fast tags and it was 11:30 when we stopped for dinner near Chengalpet. We finished our idlies, chicken kuruma, veg kuruma, etc. But, before reaching I have been having all the "side dishes" which you can find in a shop near any Tasmac that too after having my dinner at home before the start. And, meanwhile, we were thinking about the plan for the next day. I asked our driver about how long it will take to reach Vagamon from Kumily and he was like "what and where is Vagamon?". When we booked we communicated about Munnar and he had no idea we are heading towards Vagamon. So, I was like there is a change of plans we are going to Vagamon, but still, we are not sure where we are going to stay on Saturday.<br />

Day 1: Kumbakarai Falls and Vaigai Dam</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
After a few stops for tea and to sleep, we finally reach Dindugal for breakfast and to refresh. And, after checking all the possibilities and decided to go to Megamalai and stay there and canceled our plan of staying in Kumily. And, we reach the Kumbakarai falls and I haven't been there before. The place wasn't crowded at all so we had enough time to enjoy there and the first location itself was fulfilling so we decided to skip Surili falls from the plan. And, when we returned we found out we couldn't find a stay in Megamalai and it wasn't feasible to go to Megamalai and comeback to Kumily.<br />
And, our driver suggested there's a farmhouse nearby and we can even stay there tonight, we were open to that plan as well. So, our driver was wondering whether we are going to stay in Megamalai or Kumily or in that Farmhouse since we are open to all the plans. Finally, we decided to stay in Vagamon itself and go straight to Vagamon after Vaigai Dam without stopping.<br />

<br />
After Kumbakarai Falls, we went to Vaigai Dam, the dam was so big and fortunately, it had so much water so it looked good. After the dam, we started to Vagamon itself and on the way, we booked for a stay on the way and also purchase for the barbecue again just like the last time. And, we will never forget the tea we had after Kumily before heading off to Vagamon. So, we kinda skipped Suruli Falls, Megamalai, Kumily, Thekkady and also Munnar from the initial screenshot. And, it was very late when we finally reached our resort. The weather was so good, it was very hard to stand outside in that chill weather and we booked two jeeps for tomorrow sightseeing and all were so tired and adjusted in the available place to sleep.<br />

Day 2: Vagamon</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We asked our jeep driver to come by 9 even though he said he will come by 6, but yet he reached there by 6 itself and made everyone to get up so early.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally, everyone got ready and started for our sightseeing maybe by 8 in the jeep. And, unlike the last time, our jeep driver was driving so fast even in those off roads. It was a thrilling experience, looks like this is also a part of the package. We stopped at Idukki Dam's backside view first, with so much water it looked like a sea. Then, we stopped at waterfalls, I've been there before, but this time we went a little farther in and had a fantastic bath, once again without anyone's disturbance. And, we were supposed to return to the room for breakfast, but there was an only shop at that waterfalls' entrance which had idly and Tapiaco with an awesome chilly chutney, so we all finished our breakfast there.</div>

Then, we stopped at few more viewpoints which didn't have any name and back to our hotel. And, we had a break before we head out for the remaining spots in our sightseeing. I've never had a break during the day whenever I was on a trip, but it was nice. We all gathered around outside our resort chatting and had some "side dishes" like chips, mixture and some fruits.</div>

And, we head out for lunch, where everyone wanted to have lighta, but ended up eating as usual. And, it started the second set of sightseeing and this time the riding was more thrilling. We stopped at Kurusimalla and Murugan malai, didn't bother climbing any malai. Then we went to another viewpoint where our jeep climbed a mountain and he made a two 360 degrees spin at the top of a mountain which was an awesome experience followed by another viewpoint. After taking a few pictures we moved to Thangalpara, which I've been before and last time it was covered with mist followed by rain, but this time the weather was sunny and had a good view. And, the next spot was the same Vagamon Meadows which was less green than I saw last time and more crowded. </div>

After finishing the sightseeing, we went to the only resort which we booked before the trip. But, it wasn't easy to find since the roads were too bad and difficult to find as well. And, we somehow reached there once again late and we were expecting them to prepare the barbecue with the ingredients we bought, but they asked us to prepare. And, our chef Joeseph, just like last time jumped into action and meanwhile, we started gathering around the campfire, oops firecamp, with songs in BT speaker and "side dishes". It went for some time and we went to sleep after having that awful dinner given by that resort.</div>

Day 3: The Returrrnnnn</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The last day was nothing, but to return to Chennai. After getting ready and having the surprisingly good idly and chutney, which was a complimentary breakfast, took some photos around the resort and started our return to Chennai by at least 10 in the morning hoping to reach before midnight. And, of course, we had too many stops on the way, starting from Kumily where people bought Chips and stuff back home. Then, at a grape vineyard where we went and had a look around the grapes plantation, bought some grapes. Then, our people decided to have "lighta" lunch roadside, which was nothing but the ice-biriyani made from the rice provided for our dinner and finish the rest at Venu Biriyani Dindigul. </div>

We decided to play "Alex in Wonderland" to kill time in the TV available and it was the first time for many of us. But, sadly the audio format wasn't supported, so we connected the phone to the audio and played the video on the TV and took some time to sync both and we finally achieved it. It was my 3rd time and I've seen it live also, but it was still enjoyable and the process of syncing the audio and video was even more enjoyable :D :D.</div>

And, we did reach Dindigul in the evening and the quantity of a biriyani was too little so we just bought one and everyone tasted it for the sake of reaching there and decided to go Trichy for dinner itself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And, we reached Trichy and had dinner and said goodbye to the NRI Ram and a guy did call him to ask "Romba Thooram Poitia Ram?" once he left and said goodbye to all of us :D :D. And, I didn't know whether they stopped after that before reaching Chennai, it was almost 3 or 4 am when everyone reached their homes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall, another satisfying trip which was much enjoyable in a tempo traveler which started with a big plan or without a plan and without any tension of catching trains. Looking forward to the 3.0 next year. And, I've already started planning for my next trip with my Visteon guys.</div>

My passport was supposed to get expired by next year and till now I've only used it to make photocopies to submit in my companies and as proof for getting a marriage certificate. Same fate for my wife's passport as well. But, finally, we have used it to travel outside India. On my last trip, I got close to a foreign country was Bangladesh border and this time I successfully crossed our border.<br />

And, the destination <b>Bali </b>was my wife's dream destination, I didn't even have any idea about this beautiful destination.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Day -1: The Start</h4>
<br />
Our flight to Singapore was on Monday midnight, we started as early as possible. While on the way Uber driver asked as "Domestic ah International ah?", we both were waiting for that question since we started and answered in chorus "INTERNATIONAL". Hearing our enthusiastic answer he would have found out it was our first time. And, after clicking selfies and check-ins finally found that lounge for HDFC cardholders where you can rest and also have a buffet dinner for a mere amount. It was like a myth to me since I've heard it many times and never experienced it. Finally, I found that lounge and had that buffet before boarding.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Day 0: SINGAPORE in a day.</h4>
<br />
The first stop was Singapore on Tuesday morning. Since our flight to Bali was on Wednesday morning we had 23 hours of transit time, we decided to use that time as an opportunity to make it as a Singapore trip. Singapore was not even in our plan, but this was the cheapest flight available to Bali so we have added Singapore into our itinerary. We have already booked tickets for two attractions in Singapore.<br />

After finishing the immigration, our first country outside India, we decided to look around the world's best airport. But, we were able to see only that giant artificial waterfalls inside the Changi airport and we proceeded to our hotel. It was hot already and after having breakfast in a hotel full of Tamil people from Madurai we took some rest and went out to explore Singapore. We had too many places on our list, but too little time.<br />

First, we visited the Red Dot Design Museum to collect our tickets to <b>The Gardens By the Bay </b>and decided to walk towards that. We visited the <b>Flower Dome</b> first since it was about to close. It was beautiful with so many flowers, we pretty much covered everything before they could kick us out.<br />

Now, we have to come back to <b>The Gardens By the Bay</b> to visit the final attraction of <b>Supertree Grove</b>, before 8:00, but the time was already 7:40. It's a long walk again so we were in a dilemma whether to try or skip that. But, <b>OCBC Skywalk </b>above that Supertree Grove was one of the places I wanted to visit since we booked a ticket, we literally made a run for it. We were completely exhausted. When we reached the Sound and Music show was already started and everyone was laying on the ground and enjoying so no one was there to show the way to the ticket counter. Finally, we found it and gave us the next time slot and when we looked up after settling in the line the show was over. The lights were switched off, we were very disappointed. After waiting more than 30 minutes in the line, we went up to that skywalk. It was another beautiful view. And, when we were on that skywalk, they started that show again and it was spectacular to view it from the top as well. And, I was completely satisfied.<br />

And, it was too late and we were too tired and we came back to the hotel. We missed that iconic Merlion Park, we were looking forward to that place. That place is similar to our Chennai Central, in every movie they show Chennai Central for Chennai and that Lion statue for Singapore.<br />
<br />
When we reached the hotel our cab driver warned us it was not a good area and asked us to avoid staying here next time. After hearing this I was unable to sleep and waiting to leave this place and go to the airport. And, we started at midnight 2 and reached the airport even 3 hours before. And, after self-check-in which was a new experience, we wanted to look around all those attractions inside the airport terminals. But, they said the trains covering the terminals will open only after 5 and we were disappointed. But, at 5 we decided to go around on that train to see the Butterfly Garden, Enchanted Garden. We went around the terminals 2 and 3 covering those spots, but it was still dark. At least that Skytrain inside the airport was too cool and we were happy we at least made to those gardens before leaving Singapore.<br />

The people here were very helpful and polite. The traffic was heavy in the morning. And, it was hot even for a guy from Chennai. And, we should come back to have a look around all those places in leisure soon.<br />

Day 1: Landed in Bali</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
The next day morning we landed in our actual destination Bali. Thankfully our guide was waiting with our name board. After welcoming us with garlands, we proceeded to our hotel while the guide spoke about Bali and also about him for some time. After, reaching the nice hotel, <b>Jani's Place Cottage</b>, we just roamed around that street which was filled with too many restaurants and spas. And, we couldn't walk much after our tiring day in Singapore and it was hot in here as well. We had dinner nearby and back to the hotel since we had to start early the next day.<br />

Day 2: The glorious and hot Nusa Penida</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
This was an awesome day and also one of the hottest days. We woke up as early as 4:30 to get ready by 6:00 to start to the harbor where we had to take a fast boat to reach the Nusa Penida Island. We were first to reach the harbor so we had to spend an hour there waiting to catch the boat. And, the boat ride was just 45 minutes. Once reaching that beautiful island it was clear that we are gonna get roasted in the heat. Our first stop was at <b>Angel's Billabong </b>and <b>Broken Beach,</b> two beaches with some fantastic views. Just 30 minutes in that place we were dehydrated completely.<br />

Then we proceeded to have lunch and next to "THE" destination of Nusa Penida, <b>KelingKING Beach </b>which was the mother of all beaches with some spectacular views. Number one in our bucket list when we decided to visit Nusa Penida. We can't believe we were actually there. The T-Rex shaped rock was mesmerizing to watch even from the top. But, because of the sun, we didn't have the energy to climb all the way down. But, still, even from the top the view was amazing which ends our day at Nusa Penida. Back to the harbor and back to the hotel which took longer due to traffic.<br />

And, today we were on the Northside of Bali, Bedugul. Our first destination was the most Instagrammed <b>Handara Gate </b>where we were given 10 minutes for the pictures. Another destination which was on our bucket list.<br />

Next place was <b>Git Git Waterfalls.</b> I didn't expect it to be this good. When we visited it was deserted and that tall falls were amazing which became my favorite spot in Bali. It was a little scary to get all the way near to that falls.<br />

And, after lunch, we went to <b>Ulun Danu Temple</b> which was by the lake with some amazing views. Contrary to the previous day it started raining heavily which was rare in Bali. And, it was amazing to experience that as well. Overall, another satisfying day and bathing in Git Git was an unforgettable experience.<br />

Day 4: Ubud</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
And, this day started with a visit to an <b>art market,</b> but things were costlier than the street shops. Then, next to <b>Kopi Luwak</b> coffee plantation place. Where we got to see the process and also we were given some 12 different varieties of teas and coffees to taste. Also, we tasted that famous Luwak Coffee and also bought some tea and coffee powders for back home.<br />
<br />
The next stop was <b>Bali Bird Park</b>, which we expected to be boring, but it had many colorful birds and also they let some birds sit on you to pose for pictures.<br />

Followed that with <b>Campuhan Ridge Walk,</b> where two rivers join and we can go on a trek in that mountain with some amazing views. Then, we visited the local Ubud Market to do that much-needed purchase of our trip with our excellent bargaining skills :D:D. And, the last spot was Saraswati Temple, where there was no Saraswati Idol at all, but the architecture was good. Which ends our satisfying Bali trip.<br />

Day 5: The END</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
And, this day was nothing but to rest and pack our bags. We boarded our flight to Malaysia (adding one more country to our list :D :D) and spent a few hours at that airport before catching our flight to Chennai. And, the news back home, it was raining heavily on "December 1st" just like it was that famous day. We were hoping to land in Chennai safely and the sky was actually clear and it wasn't raining as predicted. And, that ends our first and successful INTERNATIONAL trip without any hiccups.<br />

<br />
Bali was hot and the people here were insanely polite and helpful. Be it any time of the day they always greet you with a smile and they all were very religious as well. Ganesh statues were all over in Ubud. And, looks like they have their own version of Ramayana where the places were changed. And, none of the hotels offer you free water, you were supposed to buy bottled water. And, the landscape especially Ubud with a lot of rice farms looked very similar to our Tamil Nadu.<br />
<br />
And, finally, I am very happy and also relieved to finish an international trip. I was so afraid and nervous about my first international trip, but it turned out to be an awesome experience with a lot of sweet memories and we feel like we have achieved something big :D :D<br />
<br />
These are very few pictures from a total of 3K pictures we have clicked so far on this trip :D :D.</div>

When any of your colleagues announces his wedding obviously you feel happy for him. And if it's away from Chennai we also get excited because of the opportunity for another trip. We get into action very quick in checking the trains and also the possible places to visit nearby. And, yeah never forget to get permission from you missus before you do all these.<br>
<br>
So, this time the wedding was far south of TN near Courtallam and Kerala. So, we have decided it would be another trip to Courtallam. But, while we were looking for the spots nearby we stumbled upon a "Mohan's Resort" which was like right in the middle of greeneries according to Google Maps. So, we decided to go ahead and book that resort and go for some falls which were shown nearby in the maps. And, the train tickets too got confirmed from RAC right in time.<br>
<br>

<br>
The train reached right on time to Kadayanallur and we were welcome with a light drizzle. After getting into our cab we went to finish off the breakfast before heading to the resort. And, guys started with a nonveg special hotel in Kadayanallur. And, the way towards Mekkarai was beautiful and there was a dam on the way where we stopped for some photos. And, after reaching Mohan's Resort we had to shift to a jeep from our cab to proceed towards the place where we were going to stay. Which was an off-road journey for some 2 km and we walked the half a way which was much less tiring than the juggling jeep.<br>
<br>
Mohan (Mohan's Resort) already told us if you guys reach the resort you guys won't even think about going anywhere else. And, yes it was true. That resort/house was right at the top of a mountain surrounded by some more mountains and trees and lush greens without any person of course. And, after reaching, we went to that falls which was part of that resort and had a refreshing bath in that ice-cold water. It was small, but perfect for our small gang.<br>
<br>

And, the lunch was ready by the time we reached back. It was an awesome lunch, I am saying this because of the time my gang took to finish off the chicken, kaadai, etc. After relaxing a bit, we tried to go on trekking, but we weren't dressed for that. We were already warned about leeches, but it was real and it started biting most of us. So, we had to stop after reaching halfway into the mountain. And, we headed back to that mini-falls to just wash our legs and of course, take some more photos.<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
Then we had a campfire in that freezing cold weather and played some silly "yaar manusula yaaru" type of games and time flew. Yes, we didn't want to leave that resort it was enough for that day.<br>
<br>
The next day, we have to attend that wedding for which we actually came. But, before that, we went to Achchan Kovil which was at the border of Kerala. Throughout the way some river crossing that road we traveled. We didn't have much time to stop and admire. Then we visited another temple before going to the wedding. This was Thirumala Kovil which was at the top of a small mountain. We saw this when we were on our way to our resort and also from the resort. And, as expected the view from the top was fantastic.<br>
<br>
And, finally, we reached the wedding hall just in time for lunch. After the usual formalities, we decided to visit Courtallam, which was very near. And, the trip wouldn't be complete without visiting that majestic falls. It was a good time with less crowd so we were able to enjoy it and then purchased some chips and "Maskoth" Halwa, my new favorite halwa, before heading to that Senkottai station. The only thing we missed was a visit to the Border Parotta Hotel.<br>

<br>
<br>
And, that's it, the train once again left on time, we luckily got confirmed seats and we reached Chennai on time as well. If it wasn't for Deepavali, we would have spent a few more days and traveled a few more places, but something is better than nothing.<br>
<br>
Mohan's Resort was the best not in terms of the facilities, which was adequate enough, but for that location alone which made our little trip awesome. And, the next wedding is in February and it is time to plan for that.<br>

I was a Vijay fan, the kinda fan who had his posters pasted on a random window, tried copying his hairstyle, dressings, etc. But, everything changed after Kuruvi, Villu and after college, I stopped caring about his movies at all. And, then came Sura and the rest is history. After many years and some good, bad and ugly movies here we are at Bigil.<br />

<br />
Another Deepavali, another Vijay release, another Atlee film and another usual mass masala film disguised as women-empowerment-sports-drama. But, I must confess I thoroughly enjoyed the show with fans dancing for the Verithanam song which was shown once-more for the fans.<br />
<br />
I have my expectations right when Atlee joined Vijay for a sports film. And, right after the FL and trailer I know we are not in for a Chak De and I was right. It's about a footballer who couldn't make it big at the national level get a chance to coach a women's team at the national level and take it to glory. And, we don't have to mind about the opponent team's strategy or the players to win the cup, all he has to do is to handle the villain like any other Vijay film to win the cup.<br />
<br />
The first half was everywhere, we get a college student protests, a minister, Vijay, referred to as CM (Captain Michael), thrashing the goons, etc which has zero connection to the story just for the sake of a hero intro. Then the love angle, before we get to know about this guy, we get to know about the football team, then a flashback about the footballer Bigil. Even before I could register himself as a player we get another Vijay as a don Rayappan. And, everything ends with a tragedy just to know the reason for how Bigil couldn't make it big at the national level.<br />
<br />
And, the second half at least was focussed on the mission or on that football team and the players. It still got some fights, some "mass" scenes, etc. But, football matches weren't as interesting as it should be, we all know they are going to win. And, the pep-talk from the coach was the worst I've seen in any sports-based movies :D. But, at least after he was done with the villains, he gives some motivational speech to him as well, he let the girls play and win the cup though.<br />
<br />
And, it's high time cinema stops showing those who are fat will be always eating something at any given time. And, some thousand other cliches were present as well. And, Atlee tries to make it as interesting as possible and few things work.<br />
<br />
But, in spite of all these and despite the three hours running length, the movie works for me thanks to Vijay. He was so good as Michael @ Bigil. And, also good to see him show a little variety with the characters like Jeevanandham in Kaththi and Rayappan here with grey hair and stutters in this movie. But, it was hard to make him look old though. And, definitely, he is my inspiration to look fit.<br />
<br />
As usual, Atlee's film was colorful and GK Vishnu's camera makes everything look rich. But, most of the dialogues were just too old, we can actually find the movies in which those dialogues were present. And, the songs work well on screen than as an album. Especially the prelude scene to Singapenney was nicely staged. And, Atlee somehow found a way to keep the heroine involved by giving her the role of the team's physio. All other actors like Jackie Shroff, Daniel Balaji, etc were just there. None of them make any impact though.<br />
<br />
I think we have had enough of Atlee-Vijay combo. It's time for Atlee to do something more original with some other actors and I am already excited to see what kinda movie will be Vijay's next with Lokesh.<br />
<br />
Overall, I had a fun time at the theatre, the kinda movie I would like to watch on a festival day.<br />

After our successful trips to <a href="https://sujathanesan.blogspot.com/2017/07/vagamon-wow-what-beauty.html">Vagamon</a> - Scotland of Asia, <a href="https://sujathanesan.blogspot.com/2018/07/courtallam-and-golden-peak-rain-rivers.html">Ponmudi</a> this year we did up the stake a little and went a little further away from Tamil Nadu to the North Eastern state of India, Meghalaya. We visited Cherrapunjee aka Sohra - one of the wettest place on Earth, Mawlynnong - Cleanest Village of Asia, and Shillong - Scotland of the East.<br />
<br />
The preparation started in February itself and we booked the flights by March first week. Applied leaves right after booking the tickets. Then, for the last month, we were busy purchasing Jerkins, Raincoats, T-shirts, Slippers, selfie sticks and what not just to make this a perfect trip. Even booked Ola for early morning pickup to reach the airport on time.<br />
<br />
<b>Day 1: Sohra - One of the wettest places on Earth, but weird weather.</b><br />
<br />
So, we all started as early as 2:30 am on Wednesday morning or for me it was Tuesday night since I didn't sleep. And, we did complete the process and just in time for the final call and caught our direct flight to Guwahati. It was a smooth ride and Guwahati's weather was as good as Chennai. After getting into our pick up van, the driver who knows only Hindi stopped us at an excellent veg restaurant for the breakfast and everybody got their mojo back after that. And, we started clicking the pics right there. And, after a few kms, the weather changed dramatically and it started raining and our first stop was at <b>Umaim Lake </b>on the way to Cherrapunjee. So everyone got down with rain-cots, umbrellas since we were so prepared. And, after five minuted the rain stopped and it started sweating like we were back in Chennai. It was weird weather.<br />

The next stop was at <b>Elephant Falls</b>, it was just for sightseeing, but the fun part was we dressed in Khasi traditional attire and took photos and even a video of dancing like legend Goundamani for his famous "start music" from Sooriyan movie. It was more fun for than we expected for the 50 rupees rent for that costume and an unforgettable memory.<br />

Finally reached Cherrapunjee by night seven and the weather was good, it wasn't shivering and at the same time, we didn't require a fan to sleep.<br />
<br />
<b>Day 2: Awesome Pooris and the unbelievable trekking</b><br />
<br />
This was the most unforgettable day for me. After getting ready by 8:30 we found a small hotel for breakfast where we feasted on the most tastiest Pooris. Then we headed to our destination to visit the Double Decker Root Bridge. It was just 3 kms walk as it was mentioned, but they forgot to mention it was 3500 steps. It was mandatory to rent a bamboo stick just for support which I thought wasn't necessary, but thank god we did. We began enthusiastically and it was easy while going down those steps. And, after reaching over 2000 steps which included two hanging bridge, we needed to climb 300 steps. And, just after 50 steps, I couldn't move at all. That's when I realized the use of that bamboo stick and also I came to know it's gonna be a nightmare while going back.<br />

But, that place was worth the sweating, the <b>Double-Decker Root Bridge</b> was awesome, but there was an excellent waterfall to take a bath. And, that's the reward for the hard work we put in. We spent enough time on the falls, the guide we hired wanted to take us to another spot which includes another two hours of up and down in steps. I was like even if there's a chance to meet god there I am not up to it. So, we decided to spend more time in the double-decker itself and then began the return. It was almost noon well past two. There wasn't any rain and it was sweating like anything. I really wanted to time-travel to the time where I slept peacefully in our room instead of climbing. It took me more than two hours to finally finish the trekking. What I achieved was almost impossible for a guy who can't even move his a** to the kitchen from the bedroom to get a glass of water. It was an achievement of my life considering my current physical status :D. On the way to our room, there was a beautiful view of Bangladesh, thanks to the sky.<br />

And, after dinner, few of us decided to walk (what was I thinking) towards our room while a few went in the van. Then, we realized nobody actually knows the route to our room. And, it was fun when we followed the van and after some time, they followed us and finally they returned saying we are on the way to a dead-end. So, now everyone was onboard the van and somehow found the room. That was an eventful end to an already eventful day.<br />
<br />
Day 3: The leg pain was unbearable, I can't even walk normally for a few steps. And, the leg pain continued till I reached Chennai. The sun comes out too early in Cherrapunjee, like 4:30 or 5:00 and finally it was raining early in the morning and it stopped once I woke up. And, our first stop was <b>Nohkalikai Falls, </b>(From WiKi: Nohkalikai Falls is the tallest plunge waterfall in India. Its height is 1115 feet). The view was spectacular and there were another 150 steps to go down and get near to have a good look. And, then we spent the whole morning in that are thanks to the spectacular view all around that area. For every 100 meters, we go the view gets better and better. And, finally, we started from that place once the mist covered entirely. And, so we couldn't go back to that awesome Poori place. Everyone wanted that Poori so bad, but couldn't leave this view as well so we had to sacrifice that Poori.<br />

<br />
The next place was <b>Seven Sister Falls</b>, but we couldn't even see a single sister thanks to the mist cover. But, we did eat an awesome Maggi. And, then we left Cherrapunjee and proceeded to Mawlynnong. And, Cherrapunjee finally decided to give us the reason why it's one of the wettest places on earth. It rained heavily for the most part of our journey.<br />
<br />
<b>Day 4: Mawlynnong - The cleanest village of Asia, what should be Normal is an attraction here.</b><br />
<br />
We started early in the morning in search of a river to take a bath. After, inquiring to many and explaining what we were looking at we finally found the path. And, once again it was "steps" descending down. But, we did find the place which was awesome with another waterfall. And, nobody was even there except us. It was a morning well spent. And, that's the highlight of that village. After getting ready we did visit that village, but we almost covered it while searching for the river in the morning and the village has more HomeStays than actual Homes. The next stop was another root bridge which was the Longest Living Route Bridge, and another 250 steps. My legs are already crying. I wasn't impressed thanks to the hot weather and also the steps.

Then we proceeded to the <b>Dawki river </b>which was at the border of Bangladesh. After a boat ride in that picturesque location, we visited the <b>border</b>. The only time I ever got close to a foreign country. And, then we proceeded to Shillong. The ride was a little scary since we couldn't see anything in the road because of the mist, but our driver did a fantastic job and finally reached Shillong. Surprisingly the weather was colder than the other places here.<br />

<b>Day 5: Shillong - Scotland of the East, second trip to Scotland.</b><br />
<br />
Our first stop was to <b>Laitlum Canyons, </b>which was supposed to have some beautiful views, but it was covered with too much mist and was we were getting wet as if it was raining. But, the weather was too good to miss. The only significant thing we saw in that place was a dance by one of our friends which is a popular GIF in our group now.<br />

And, from there we decided to do something adventurous and decided to go that <b>zip lining</b> place which was almost near Cherrapunjee. We have to convince the driver and his owner to go back again. And, the valley was completely covered in mist, so we didn't see how deep it was until we completed the ride. After completing the ride the mist cleared for a few seconds, it was actually very deep. But, even with the mist, it was so thrilling since we couldn't see anything anywhere. We couldn't even see the destination for while we were zipping, it was surely a lifetime experience.<br />

After, that we were back to Shillong and visited the <b>Wards Lake, </b>which was the mandatory lake with boating in which we can see in every hill station. Thank god, I got into a boat where two guys were good enough to pedal me and take photos as well. And, after that, we started searching for the much heard about <b>Police Bazaar </b>for shopping especially for my wife without that I don't think I could have returned home :D. The Bazaar was very crowded which looked as good as T Nagar. It had street foods, clothes, etc. In the meantime, we were following India's innings while we were traveling and we all settled in our room to catch the Pak innings. But, it turned into a disappointing one-sided game. So, we got to sleep early.<br />
<br />
<b>Day 6: Back to Chennai</b><br />
<br />
The final day was nothing but travel from Shillong to Guwahati airport. The traffic was little hectic at the Shillong, but everyone was very disciplined and were following a single line, which was so heartening to see. The majority of the cars are modified Alto or Maruti 800.<br />

<br />
<br />
And, we boarded the flight without any delay and after a transit at Kolkata airport, which looked really good. We reached Chennai. And, Chennai's weather is like "You tried to escape, but where did that bring you? Back to me. I am.. Inevitable", which was at 33 degrees at 10:30 PM.<br />
<br />
Overall right from the planning till landing everything went so perfect and it turned out to be one of the best trips of my life easily. After visiting Scotland of Asia and Scotland of the East maybe we should visit actual Scotland next :D.<br />

That was yet another entertaining season. And, once again it was CSK in the finals and MI clinching the title by 1 run of the very last ball to become the most successful IPL team in the history with 4 titles and also completing a 4-0 whitewash against CSK this year.<br />

<br />
Yeah, this year I didn't support <b>RCB</b> and just like last year they played very poorly and couldn't even figure out their best X1 till the end and finally crashed out without even making it to the playoffs. (And, I copied this from my last year's <a href="https://sujathanesan.blogspot.com/2018/04/ipl-2018-cee-yess-kayyy-and-whistles.html">post</a>, except the didn't)<br />
<br />
And, the runners <b>CSK</b>, they just couldn't figure out a way to win against <b>MI </b>and they lost to them 4 times. (And, I copied this also from my last year's <a href="https://sujathanesan.blogspot.com/2018/04/ipl-2018-cee-yess-kayyy-and-whistles.html">post</a>, except CSK was at the receiving end this year)<br />
<br />
Here are some of the memorable moments from this IPL.<br />
<br />
This time <b>CSK</b> didn't start with a thriller like they usually do, but with an easy win over RCB. It was the worst start for <b>RCB</b> getting all out for 70.<br />
<br />
And, this year marks the comeback of <b>Warner</b> after his ban and he was phenomenal throughout the season winning the orange cap eventually. And, he started with an excellent half-century, but it was <b>Dre Rus</b> who stole the show with his excellent 49 off 19 to win it for KKR.<br />
<br />
Delhi with a new name and coach were a revelation of this IPL. From finishing at the bottom last year to third this year was phenomenal. And, they started with a win in their first match against MI, the freak <b>Rishab Pant</b> scored 78 off just 27, even Bumrah couldn't stop him. And, there was a glimpse of old <b>Yuvi</b>, he scored a 53 off 35, but he couldn't continue eventually.<br />
<br />
The first controversy of this IPL was during KX1 vs RR. RR was cruising towards a victory with <b>Buttler</b> going great guns and then <b>Ashwin</b> Mankads him and RR collapsed during the chase after <b>Gayle's</b> 79 of 47. And, then begin the spirit-of-cricket vs thats-the-law debates. He was well within the law to do it, but I felt he paused a little longer.<br />
<br />
<b>Dre Rus</b> at it again, this time KKR was batting first against KX1 and Russel got lucky to be bowled off a no-ball from Shami very early of his innings and he finished with another 48 off 17 balls. And, he comes back and picked two wickets as well.<br />
<br />
Another heartbreak for RCB, this time against MI. VK and ABD were going great guns in the chase and they lose it in the last delivery when ABD couldn't clear <b>Malinga</b> for a six. But, the controversy of this match was it was a no-ball and the umpire didn't spot it. And, if it was given a no-ball and if they managed to win this, they would have been in the playoffs.<br />
<br />
<b>Dre Rus</b> again 62 off 28 with six sixes, but DC chased it almost comfortably with Shaw's 99, but collapsed towards the end and ended in a tie which gave us the first super over of this IPL. And, Rabada with a ball of this IPL took Russel with an outstanding yorker and DC won it eventually.<br />
<br />
<b>Warner</b> and <b>Bairstow</b> continued their dominance against RCB by both scoring the century against RCB, chasing the 200+ they fell short by one run compared to Bairstow's score of 114, RCB all out for 113.<br />
<br />
CSK once against started poor 27/3, but ended with 175 thanks to <b>Dhoni's</b> vintage 75* where he finished the innings with three consecutive sixes off last three deliveries. RR almost chased, but Bravo bowled brilliantly in the death and sealed the match.<br />
<br />
DC's freakish collapse triggered by <b>Pant</b> while chasing 166 against KX1, thanks to <b>Sam Curran'</b>s hat-trick they lost seven wickets for eight runs. It was unbelievable from 144 for 3 chasing 167 to 152 all out.<br />
<br />
RCB did score a 200+ against KKR, but they couldn't defend it thanks to <b>Dre Rus</b> again for his another 48 off just 13 balls which included seven sixes. He was a monster.<br />
<br />
<b>Alazari Joseph </b>of WI had a dream debut for MI against SRH, he finished with six wickets for just twelve runs and SRH all out for 96 chasing a modest 136.<br />
<br />
<b>Pollard</b> stepped in a captain when Rohit got injured and with the help of KL's 100 and Gayle's 63 KX1 scored 197. And, Pollard took the match single-handedly scoring 83 off 31, which is for the best innings of this IPL. But, it was a thriller when Pollard got out, but Alzari Joseph's calm head got MI through the line.<br />
<br />
<b>Dhoni</b> and <b>Rayudu</b> pull off a chase against RR, but another controversy of this IPL when Dhoni storms into the pitch to argue with the umpires regarding a decision on no-ball. Which was not the typical Dhoni we know and I didn't like it as well. <b>Santner</b> finished with a Six to win it off the last ball after <b>Jadeja</b> hit a six while falling down.<br />
<br />
After six consecutive losses against six teams, <b>RCB</b> broke their curse against KX1, eventually winning their seventh match.<br />
<br />
Another CSK classic thriller, with 26 needed off last over <b>Dhoni</b> did score 24 off <b>Umesh</b>, but couldn't connect the last ball and RCB won by 1 run. Dhoni almost pulled off this single-handedly scoring 84* off 48, third best innings of this IPL.<br />
<br />
<b>Ashton</b> <b>Turner</b> finally scored his first run against SRH after three consecutive golden ducks this IPL.<br />
<br />
KKR scored 200 thanks to <b>Dre Rus </b>80 off 40 balls in a must-win game against MI. But, MI almost pulled off thanks to free-flowing <b>Hardik</b> scored 94 off 34 balls. He was simply unbelievable, the second best innings of this IPL.<br />
<br />
RCB never fails to entertain even in a five-over game. After starting with 23 runs off the first over, they almost tried to get all out with <b>Shreyas Gopal </b>getting a hattrick and ended with 62 for 7. Then,<br />
RR almost chased it thanks to the rain which saved RCB.<br />
<br />
<b>Manish Pandey</b> who came to form after Warner and Bairstow left pulled of a chase against MI, but ended in another super over. But, Hardik almost made it effortless in the super over.<br />
<br />
<b>Heitmeyer</b> finally comes to form towards the end and Umesh with two boundaries off the last over to win it against SRH. Hope to more of Heitmeyer in the coming years.<br />
<br />
KKR, especially <b>Uthappa</b> wasted their opportunity against MI to reach the playoffs and helped <b>SRH</b> to be the first team to reach the playoffs with 12 points, just one point more than the RCB which was at last position.<br />
<br />
DC reached playoffs after a long time and they won the first eliminator against SRH, but once again Pant almost triggered a collapse after taking them too close. But, they managed to win with one ball remaining. Heartbreaking for SRH and Kane, but it was going for Thampi over Khaleel cost them badly where <b>Pant</b> scored 22 runs.<br />
<br />
Finals, once again a CSK thriller went down to the wire and lost by 1 run of the final delivery. <b>Watson</b> just like last year final he played another brilliant inning with a lot of luck. Rohit's trust of <b>Malinga</b> and <b>Bumrah's</b> gun overs at death won the fourth title for MI. But, some CSK fans - that is not a run out = that's not a no-ball like Bangladesh fans from 2015 WC.<br />
<br />
<b>My Best X1 of this IPL</b>: Few of them were part of last year as well.<br />

This year CSK's batting was totally dependent on Dhoni's, but at least Thahir, Bhajji, Chahar chipped in the bowling department. And, Thahir was outstanding winning the purple cap as well, but more famous for his celebration. It would be interesting to see whether Raina, Rayudu, Jhadav, Watson continue to play next year. And, also looking forward to the changes in RCB as well.</div>

<br />
<br />
<b>Day 1:</b> Actually we were very reluctant to book for the day one since it was just some dance performances by heroines for Raja sir's songs. Since we were able to book only season pass for both the days we went on day one as well. But, oh boy, if at all we skipped, we would have missed one of the most important events of this century. ARR and Raja together on stage. ARR playing "Punnagai Mannan" theme on his phone first then on a keyboard, followed by Raja singing "Mandram Vantha Thendral" and ARR playing keyboard for that. That's it that was worth every penny we have paid for that day. And, whatever else happened on that day was a bonus.<br />
<br />
The day started with a formal welcome speech from Vishal, followed by the Governor's where he genuinely surprised when he spoke about some of the records Raja has made. Followed by the first event of performance by "Nattupura Kalaingargal" with Thavil, Thapattam. Nathaswaram, which was a rousing start for the day.<br />
<br />
Apart from that, we enjoyed Vijay Yesudas's performance where he sang a few of his father's songs with music director Nivas Prasanna on the keyboard. Also, Ramya Nambeesan and Andrea's singing performances as well. And, Roobini danced for her most famous "Sivarathiri" song, of course, she looked old though. Vedhika, Sayesha, Namitha, Poorna, Manjima, Iniya were the others who performed for Raja sir's songs.<br />
<br />
Actor Karthik along with actress Radha was blabbering on and on and on which irritated everybody and fittingly Raja asked him "you are a hero da, why are you trying to speak like a comedian" and switched him off. And, Bhakkiyaraj was trying to talk about to experience with Raja sir and he was cut short by Kasthuri and he was never given time to finish his story.<br />
<br />
And, BlackSheep team RJ Vignesh and others presented a skit on what if Sundar C, Shankar, Hari and TR worked with Raja. It was really hilarious. And, the final performances by a band, I think <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ytwTa44pbY">ORFEO</a>, where they presented a medley of an instrumental version of Raja sir's songs starting with Rakamma and few more songs. We were expecting Kamal and Rajni, but they didn't make it.<br />
<br />
So, as far as day one is concerned everyone left with the memory of ARR and Raja on stage together.<br />
<br />
<b>Day 2:</b> The much awaited day was here. Ilaiyaraaja's live in concert, the only reason for booking the season pass. We were seated almost two hours before the start of the actual event. And, there was some ruckus from people at the Executive lounge for not providing a proper screen for viewing since they were too far at the back. And, everyone ran to the front along with the chairs and finally settled before the event started. So, as promised Raja was ready to give us treat, he even bought the Budapest orchestra from Hungary. They were outstanding throughout the show.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Raja, as usual, started with the "<i>Janani Janani"</i> followed by "<i>Om Shivoham"</i> by Haricharan. Then Mano for "Ilamai Idho Idho" and we were already missing SPB. Wish Vishal and co have done something and made peace between SPB and Raja. Next on stage was Chitra for "<i>Ninnu Kori</i>", followed by "<i>Poove Sempoove</i>" by Madhu Balakrishnan. And, Usha Utup sang "<i>Vegam Vegam</i>", followed by "<i>Anandha Ragam</i>" by Vibhavari, she was so good. Raja told us she's from Pune and doesn't know a single word in Tamil.<br />
<br />
Then Raja sang "<i>Idhayam Oru Kovil</i>", and Maniratnam came on stage after that, where Raja kidded "Enna Mani vayasayurucha?". And, Mani didn't take much time, Raja told a trivia about the song how he ended up writing lyrics for this song when he felt the lyrics given by the lyricist didn't do justice for the situation Mani Ratnam told.<br />
<br />
Singer Prasanna and Bhavatharani sang "<i>Oliyile Therivathu</i>", followed by "<i>Poove Ilaya Poove</i>" by Mukesh. I really liked Mukesh much, he was so perfect and wish he had sung a few more songs.<br />
Raja sang<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Raja called Rajni on to the stage and he talked about Raja and how he started calling him Swami. Also, Raja told Suhashini there's only one Superstar when she called Raja also as Superstar. Also, Rajni complained he gave better songs to Kamal's films. Raja says Kamal complains the vice versa and Kamal too said the same when he was on stage. And, Raja further added, I don't mind the heroes at all, I have great songs for Ramarajan, Mohan, etc. It was friendly banter went on when Rajni asked about whether he's getting enough money from the copyrights.<br />
<br />
Mano, sang "<i>Madai Thiranthu</i>" and Kamal was seen sitting next to Rajni during this song. And, someone gave him a mike when the song was about to end. We were expecting him to speak from his place itself, but he started "<i>Raghupathi Raghav Raja Ram</i>" from Hey Ram and he proceeded towards the stage, it was a fantastic entry and continued the song along with Shruthi Hassan who joined his father. And, Raja made them sing the last part since they made some mistake. They continued "<i>Ninaivo oru Paravai</i>", but both of them really struggled. And, then Chitra joined Kamal for "<i>Onna Vida</i>". It was a pleasant surprise for me, I didn't expect Kamal to sing and that too three songs. Then, he later sang "<i>Kanmani Anbodu</i>", that was legendary. Also, the starting portions of "<i>Vanithamani</i>" then Chitra and Mano continued.<br />
<br />
Kamal also said it was Raja, who asked him to join politics, but Raja said I said at a different time :D. And, he expressed his love hugging and kissing him, Raja joked saying, "heroine ku kodukka vendiathu ellam enakku kodukkurar".<br />
<br />
Madhu Balakrishnan came back for "<i>Raja Raja Cholan</i>", he was later joined by a group of girls, they continued the song and also "<i>En iniya Pon Nilave</i>" by Raja. Then, they gave an acapella version of "<i>Naan Poranthu Vanthathu</i>" song from Maya Bazaar. Later, Raja told these girls performed well when he visited some colleges like MOP Vaishnav, Ethiraj, Queen Marry's and they were interested in performing with Raja so asked them to join them. Also, he took a dig at Kamal saying they sang perfectly.<br />
<br />
And, Raja sang the much awaited "<i>Thendral Vanthu</i>" with Chitra, followed by "<i>Ennulle Ennulle</i>" by Vibhavari. Then Haricharn and Priya Himesh rocked "<i>Rakamma</i>", followed by "<i>Kanmaniye Kadhal Enbathu</i>" by Mano and Vibhavari.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile some musicians DSP, Vijay Antony, Mani Sharma, Dheena and actors Karthi, Vijay Sethupathi, Bharath, Vikram, Vivek, Kushboo and directors RK Selvamani, RV Udayakumar, Shankar also Siddique and Satyan Anthikad from Malayalam industry and actors Mohan Babu and Venkatesh from Telugu industry came on stage and a few people talked about Raja. Especially Mohan Babu went on and on in Telugu. Also, Pon Radhakrishnan went on stage and talked about Raja and few more people felicitated Raja.<br />
<br />
Mano and Srinisha sang "<i>Oh Butterfly</i>", which was after Vikram sang a few lines from the song. Karthik Raja sang "<i>Kadhal Oviyam" </i>with Vibhavari and then they called his brother Yuvan on stage and he sang "<i>Hey Unnaithane</i>" with Anitha. And, Mano and Chitra sang another much-awaited song "<i>Sundari Kannal</i>", but still SPB was missed.<br />
<br />
Then Usha Utup came back to sing "<i>Rum pum bum</i>" with Mano and Kushboo joined them to dance followed by "<i>Thanni Thotti</i>" with Haricharn and she really got the crowd dancing and clapping along. Madhu sang "<i>Kanne Kalaimane</i>" and Usha continued the song in Hindi and crowd waved their mobile torches along, it was a wonderful sight. And, Mano and Chitra sang "<i>En jodi manja kuruvi</i>", and the crowd was erupting. Raja sang "<i>Kattu Vazhi</i>", "<i>Then Pandi Cheemayile</i>". And, then he introduced his music troupe. TIL that the singer Arunmozhi is none other than the flute player Napoleon. I know he was Napoleon @ Arunmozhi, but didn't know he is the singer Arunmozhi. Also, Raja thanked Vishal and also all others who were against this program.<br />
<br />
Then all the male singers performed a medley of "<i>Singari Sarakku", "Adiye Manam", "Aatha Aathorama"</i>, followed by the female singers ended with "<i>Pothuvaga En Manasu Thangam</i>".<br />
<br />
So, it was almost 35 songs and the time was almost 12:30 and no one wants to leave and we wanted more. The seating arrangement and screens could have arranged properly, actors and directors could have spoken less and SPB should have attended, Valaiyosai and Ilaya Nila were missed. These were the only minor complaints otherwise it was surely an unforgettable day of my life. Thanks to Raja sir, Budapest orchestra and of course Napolean's flute.<br />

<u><br></u>
<u><br></u>
<u><br></u>
<u>Petta</u><br>
<u><span id="goog_842695211"></span><span id="goog_842695212"></span><br></u></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Petta, as Kathick Subbaraj said in many interviews, this is a Rajni movie, from a Rajni fan and by a team of Rajni fans for the Rajni fans. I went in enthusiastically and yes really got what I've was expecting. I actually booked 10 tickets which includes a kid and everyone was completely satisfied. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Rajni was back to what he loves doing and he does it well. KS brings back lots of nostalgia and we can get the glimpse of vintage Rajni we were always hoping to see. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">Petta the story was another usual revenge saga which we all expected after watching the trailer and with some minute twists towards the end in KS's style. But, I don't get what made Petta so powerful, he knows only a collector. And, where was he hiding/waiting for twenty years. How's he getting recommendation from PMO office. Are we talking about the real life Rajnikanth there?</span><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Among the ladies Simran had a role similar to Aditi in CCV, she disappeared mid-way. But, as a Simran fan I'm glad she did one movie with Rajni as well and she looked much better than Seema Raja. Trisha role was as good as Thamanna in Bahubali 2 in a blink and miss role. Among, the big star cast I don't think anyone make any impression other than Thalaivar in Petta which includes VJS, Nawaz, Sasikumar, etc.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Anirudh, scored really well here for all the mass moments and he was so impressive more than the songs. And, DoP Thiru sethukified most of the frames. And, good to see Peter Hein back for the stunts.</div><div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Now, I really wish KS to do more movie with Rajni and maybe with more substance than just the style like his Jigarthanda where you couldn't predict what comes next and ofcourse in the same mood as Petta.<br>
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
That one "உள்ளே போ" was absolute gold and I'm totally Rajnified.<br>
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Viswasam:<br>
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
On the other hand, Viswasam, which didn't even excite right from the announcement. Since, it was Ajith joining again with director Siva for the fourth time after an unbearable Vivegam. And, I'm not a big fan of Vedhalam or Veeram either. The first half was so bad that made it look the second half better. And, yaaru yaarukku Viswasama irukanga? <br>
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Just like that Wig in Bhairava here too Ajith's look made me hate this movie right from the start. What the hell is actually happened to him. How can you make him look so bad. For me he looked much better in that atrocious Thirupathi comparing to this. He looks like a guy who stays up all night without any sleep and comes to the shoot the next day. It's so difficult to see him in close-up shots. Now, <u>imagine</u> Yennai Arindhal's opening scene with Anushka. And, if she utters those dialogues to someone looking like this.<br>
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Nayantara was terrific with her looks and performance as well. She's really getting better and gets a role with some importance which was so rare in usual mass masala movies. <br>
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Robo Shankar's comedy was okay comparing to Thambi Ramaiah, Vivek, Kovai Sarala. Why would no one tell Kovai Sarala about her OTT acting she does in every movie. And, that girl who plays Ajith's daughter was good as well. And, their version 2.0 of "unakenna venum sollu" which is "kannaney kanne" was a good song on screen as well.<br>
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Just to raise the melodrama Imman's BGM were straight out of mega serials. And, for the mass scenes, none of them sticks in my mind now.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
You can guess the story from the very first scene. Siva, played safe with lot of sentiments and as usual without much logic and looks like it's working comparing to their previous films. Barring the Soori type Vivek-Kovai Sarala comedy, the movie has some good moments in the second half involving Ajith-Nayanthara-Their Daughter. It really saves the film and also the villain Jagapathy, thank god, he isn't after some property just like another corporate villain. And, Siva includes another daughter-father angle there as well. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I feel Ajith should save himself from Siva and do some better projects. I don't think if Vijay does two movies consecutively with Bharathan after how well Bhairava was received he will get the same response from his fans as Ajith gets for his movies with Siva.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So, my vote is for Petta which I would definitely love to see again. Though, both the films have done to death stories. I liked the Rajinsm and the energy he bought to this otherwise regular revenge story. Of course he's looking old, but oh man he can entertain. On the other hand, Ajith who shouldn't be looking so old looks like someone who can easily play Indian thatha role in Indian 2 without any foreign makeup artists. It's high time he takes care of himself and gets back in shape and looks as charming as he used to be.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Petta - 3.5/5.0.<br>
Viswasam - 2.0/5.0.</div>

And, it was totally worth the wait and it was just an intro to Anbu and looking forward to the next parts. </li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://sujathanesan.blogspot.com/2018/10/pariyerum-perumal-ba-bl.html">Pariyerum Perumal</a> </span></b>- "நீங்க நீங்களா இருக்குற வரைக்கும்.. நாங்க (நாயாக) தான் இருக்கணும்னு நீங்க நினைக்கிற வரைக்கும் இங்க எதுவும் மாறாது"</li>
<li><b><a href="https://sujathanesan.blogspot.com/2018/10/ratsasan-high-intense-thriller.html"><span class="" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ratsasan</span></a> </b>- Ratsasan, a well-researched movie with a gripping screenplay which doesn't lose it intensity and doesn't have any unwanted comedy track or love track or unwanted songs. Keeps you hooked and it will make you follow Vishnu for the clues in finding the killer and also in constant fear of what might happen.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Merku Thodarchi Malai </span></b>- It was like a poem on screen without any deviation from the plot. Few years from a life of our protagonist which gives the idea of their life.</li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://sujathanesan.blogspot.com/2018/10/96.html"><b>96</b></a> </span>- And, the most beautiful part of this movie is even here there's a 'what-if' portion that comes in the second half where Jaanu narrates her imaginary story of VJS's proposal to VJS's students. Both, of them, know that was a big moment which changed both their lives. 'What-if' Jaanu had seen Ram or 'what-if' Ram have waited and met her in person. So, we get Jaanu's version of 'what-if'. No other visual could have justified the "Kadhale Kadhale" song as well. That was literally the best part of this movie for me. I wish the movie ended right there I could have just imagined Ram and Jaanu are now together in some other parallel time.</li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Kolamaavu Kokila</span> </b>- This wacky comedy had some good music and well performed by the small team.</li>

In Tamil, this year surely belongs to Santhosh Narayanan. Albums like <b><i>Pariyerum Perumal, Vada Chennai and Kaala</i></b>,. Govind Vasantha of Thaikkudam Bridge also made his mark with his <b><i>96 and Seethakathi</i></b>. And, <b>Anthathi </b>was my favorite, most heard song in Tamil. And, it was between Inkem Inkem and <b>Pilla Raa</b> in Telugu. And, <b>Jeevanshamai </b>from Theevandi in Malayalam and <b>Aahista </b>from Laila Majnu in Hindi<br />
<br />
Didn't have enough time to hear all the albums and even some of them in repeat. And, also I hate this single culture where CCV kept releasing songs till the release day and I almost lost interest to go back to those songs.<br />

Another trip with my KONE gang after more than a year. All my previous trips were "Krishna's Wedding Trip", "Dharun's Wedding Trip", "Muthu's Wedding Trip", but no wedding this time and this trip is called "The(a) Vera Level Trip" organized by Mano, co-organized by Ram. First of all, I didn't even believe this trip would happen even on Thursday when we are supposed to start on Friday night. We fixed the date months ago, but didn't even talk about it. And, I have even decided to go on another trip with my Visteon friends on the same date and that's when Ram pinged and reminded about this trip. Then, we even got lucky with Tatkal tickets to Rajapalayam and five members grew to eight and we were set to go.<br />

First surprise Ram reached the station before all of us, which was certainly once in a lifetime for him. And, when the train started these guys started their dinner and it went on even after we crossed Chenagalpattu. And, I didn't know this would be the theme of the whole trip. Eating.<br />
<br />
Right after reaching Rajapalayam everyone wanted some Vadai with Tea. But, we settled for "muttakos" bonda, Bhajjis, Banana and Coffee. Little did I know this would end up as my breakfast. From station, we went to R. Mano cottage, our organizer's house. On the way, we stopped quite a few times to purchase, charcoal, fish, chicken, masala items, etc and finally reached his house. I thought these guys were joking when they said they are gonna be barbecuing, but they were really serious with the purchases, even bought a barbecue grill and started seasoning the chicken and fish right after reaching his home.<br />
<br />
So, we decided to go to our first destination "Thalaianai". On the way, we plucked some leaf to eat, then stopped to get some lunch, where we had some "Pearl Millet porridge" (ya googled) and kinda finished everything he had and got some parcels of Parotta, omelets, and gravy and finally reached the destination. And, then the twist in the tale was it was closed and no one was allowed inside. Then, we tried someplace near only to find a pump set and a thatha. And, we had a DSLR and the memory card we had didn't suit, so the DSLR was useless. Then, when we decided to eat the parotta, we found that the gravy and omelet cover was missing.<br />
<br />
After these series of unfortunate events, thanks to that thatha in that farm we started bathing in that pump set and guys started barbecuing in that hot sun, thinking it's going to be easy. Meanwhile, our organizers found the river nearby that farm. It was wonderful, the flow was too good and nobody was there. We spent enough time then finished the remaining things to cook and took some photos in that lush green and started to Then Mala. Thanks to that thatha to help cook it fast and also for giving us the gravy he had. So, that's the end of our Gramathil Oru Naal and I won't forget having Parotta with curd.<br />
<br />
<b>Then Mala</b>: On the way stopped for a tea and had that Vadai which we were looking for in the morning, then some murukku, omelet which we lost, some parotta as well and ended with the tea which we were supposed to have. And, reached Then Mala and went to have the dinner and back to the room. The dormitory was so hot and we thought of switching to AC room, but they said, the "mist" will reach by 12:30 and it would be cooler later. And, it did reach it seems cause it got cold later in the night.<br />
<br />
Next day, the morning we decided to go to Mekkadu falls, Isfield Estate which we missed during my last trip. So, Once again it was closed, but thankfully there was an old man who opened the gate after we bought tickets. It was a small, but wonderful falls amidst rubber trees and since it's a private falls, nobody was there and no one came until we left as well.<br />

Then after the breakfast and some tea and fruits and some mixtures, we went to the adventure zone in Then Mala. It was fun all the way, and one man Joseph really became a child and enjoyed every adventure ride there. He was planning to take his family there, but I am sure he's gonna enjoy more than his kid. And, if he attends police selection, I think he will pass them with flying colors. The Flying fox where we crossed the river in the air and Ball Roller were too good and too much fun.<br />

<br />
After finishing the remaining oranges and apples, we went to have the "kulukki" sharbhat which I had the last time. This time there was a different shop, but the taste was not great. And, some buttermilk, pineapples, mango, amla and one awful fruit called "bubbly mass".<br />
<br />
The next destination was "13 kannara bridge" where Tamil M A climax was shot. Last time we crossed this spot without knowing its significance. And, Ram, came out from his 96 "Life of Ram" and became "Prabha" of Tamil MA here.<br />

<br />
After spending too much time we started to "Border Parotta". On the way, we stopped to have some "Pathaneer" for 1000 RS, (konjam overa than poromo). Since we need some time before we eat in Border Parotta, we went to that place called Courtrallam which was near that Border Parotta. But, that doesn't stop us from trying some "ilai" halwa, nentharam chips and chilly bajjis. After, clicking some pictures in front of that gigantic falls we went to border parotta to finish the early dinner and ended it with a sweet beeda and decided this is the last item we would be eating before leaving from this trip.<br />

<br />
From there we reached Rajapalayam playing antakshari in some two hours and much earlier to our standards. We had more than an hour left before boarding the bus. But, I have never played Antakshari like this before thanks to the judge Mano. He does not just give the starting letter of the song, he even sings a song and both the teams have to just repeat it. He was playing antakshari with himself. And, also shared some funny story about his friend who might be the inspiration behind Vijay Sethupathi's character in iDhaba.<br />
<br />
The return journey was awful, I took the last sleeper seat on the bus and I was literally flying up and down. And, the driver was asking 5K from us to fill the diesel. Finally, he managed to reach Chennai on time to end our trip. I must say it was like a movie I went in without any expectations and without even knowing the genre. I really liked the twists and turns it had and it was really "The(a) Vera Level Trip".<br />

Another excellent addition to Tamil Cinema this year after Pariyerum Perumal, Ratsasan and 96. And, we get an epic Vada Chennai from Vetri Maran after his terrific Visaranai.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0J-GkWO5jJNVpCI5ICDNIGEEsT7kDhPPpkgGgu1deOKnlb1zLk9wijUoshAyzAtsEX85DLt6MG6mD33nGzXLvzEXhHRHuRX0MaSHA1csgS3V3OG4vTWb3od3pHORQRriFim7b2DyK59H9/s1600/vadachenn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="546" data-original-width="1200" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0J-GkWO5jJNVpCI5ICDNIGEEsT7kDhPPpkgGgu1deOKnlb1zLk9wijUoshAyzAtsEX85DLt6MG6mD33nGzXLvzEXhHRHuRX0MaSHA1csgS3V3OG4vTWb3od3pHORQRriFim7b2DyK59H9/s640/vadachenn.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Everyone was hearing about this Vada Chennai from Vetri Maran for quite some time, years actually. Dhanush, Simbu, Vijay Sethupathi, Jeeva and finally with Dhanush as an actor and a producer as well. I thought this film would never see the light of day just like Marudhanayagam, but I am glad it did. And, even more, glad that they didn't go for a U or U/A certificate and went with A certificate to make this movie as raw as possible with a lot of swear words not getting muted.<br />
<div>
<br />
If we see the story in just Anbu's pov, he was just a good carrom player and wants to become a national level player, but destiny had other ideas and he gets linked to too many things unknowingly which changes his life completely.<br />
<br />
Vetri Maran, once again he proves himself as one of the best screenwriters in recent time. Each and every character were so detailed. Even this first part itself could have been made into two different films since I was ready to know more about Kishore, Samuthurakani, Pawan, and Andrea.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The best thing about Vada Chennai are the characters. Each and everyone was unique and you don't get bored seeing anyone on screen. Right from Kishore, Pawan, Samuthrakani, Daniel Balaji, Aishwarya Rajesh, Andrea, Ameer, and Dhanush, everyone fits perfectly for their roles and their performances were so natural. I really wish to see Kishore in more movies.<br />
<br />
Dhanush has shown enough varieties during each phase as a carrom player, then in the jail and towards the end as a gangster. And, Aishwarya Rajesh and Andrea were terrific too. After the poetic much-loved heroine entry of Jaanu in 96, here comes an absolute shocking intro for a heroine, Aishwarya Rajesh because of her very first dialogue.<br />
<br />
The whole jail set was just terrific and looked very original. And, each and every area gives the much-needed authenticity to the story and everyone belongs to the story so we never feel anything was artificial.<br />
<br />
Once again I say this year belongs to SaNa in terms of music. After, Kaala, Pariyerum Perumal he's back with a bang here as well. It was a fitting 25th movie for this composer. Those two themes which were already part of the audio release were terrific and elevates the scenes perfectly. Especially it fits very well for the Rajan character (Ameer), whose portions were the highlight of this first part. As Vetri Maran said in one interview, I will be glad to see a prequel for this about the Rajan character alone.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj55Ne-gTJP1RQ8tBzPDb1aQTktuBVVq5xKDQUoAdr8I5GpKzSjjFWF4e7RC-shSDdZFcxBqO_msL6Jlmyq6eFraxUOmmIOzGLOsZytX3gB36f419S8odBfny_RX-YKwpFMBkpH5Fj9A7q/s1600/vada+chennai.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj55Ne-gTJP1RQ8tBzPDb1aQTktuBVVq5xKDQUoAdr8I5GpKzSjjFWF4e7RC-shSDdZFcxBqO_msL6Jlmyq6eFraxUOmmIOzGLOsZytX3gB36f419S8odBfny_RX-YKwpFMBkpH5Fj9A7q/s640/vada+chennai.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So, coming back to Vetri Maran, he turns a revenge and a gangster saga into an epic with his terrific characters. Though I guessed what could be the basic plot, Vetri Maran had enough surprises and twists which unveils whatever I have guessed. And, also the pace the story was unveiled was good as well. The story is nicely set up where the one line of the second part could be close to Kaala, but here the trouble is not external. So, waiting to see more about Anbu, Chandra (Andrea), etc and their plans.<br />
<br />
Vada Chennai, lives up to the expectation and hype it created since I've been hearing about this movie for ten years. And, it was totally worth the wait and it was just an intro to Anbu and looking forward to the next parts. </div>

That's a hat-trick of good movies in Tamil cinema I've seen in a week. This is rare, a very rare phenomenon. And, the hat-trick is 96 after Pariyerum Perumal and Ratsasan. It's not necessary that you should be a Ram and have a Jaanu in your life to enjoy this. Ram and Jaanu story itself was so beautiful we can very well feel the love. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
96, right from the title design we know it's going to kindle our 90s memories. And, even the story and what we can expect was pretty clear from that teaser and a trailer. And, also it was evident that the music was gonna play a bigger role. Never ever in Tamil Cinema, I've seen a musical piece receiving the applause as much as this "Kadhale Kadhale" musical bit got right when the credits rolled or when Trisha introduced. The third hero apart from VJS and Trisha is obviously Govind Vasantha and his violin.</div>

<div>
The story starts with "Life of Ram" song, where we see him travel around lonely and ends with a long shot of him writing his name and I think "Jaanu" too in a beach. So, that's Ram, unmarried, single, wanderer, who still loves Jaanu. So, who's this Jaanu? When Ram accidentally crosses his hometown, he visits his school and where he wanders around, but I was expecting them to cut to the flashback, no, the director didn't. So, it rekindles his memory and that leads to the get-together of 96 batch after 20 years. When Ram hears Jaanu's name, we get the much-awaited flashback and get to know that Jaanu. And, also a night Ram and Jaanu get to spend together after 20 years.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jaanu, short for Janaki Devi, who is a good singer, sings only S. Janaki's songs. These school days portions are cute and we see the innocent love that develops and how the friends find out and help them. And, Ram kept forming waves in his hands asking his friends to tell Jaanu to sing Yamunai Aatrile, but she keeps singing other Janaki songs which are subtle message to Ram. And, she does sing Yamunai Aatrile, but not when he expects her to sing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After seeing Jaanu in the flashback, everybody was expecting Trisha and there she comes after almost an hour with the much-loved BGM, the whole theatre erupts. I don't remember any of the heroine introduction this much loved like this in recent times. Then, like the famous red-velvet scene in Premam, we have a fried-rice scene here where Govind Vasantha once again just elevates it with his beautiful music. Another scene, where they go through his suitcase with his memories which contains his school uniform shirt, her dupatta which oozes "palaya vasanai". And, that end shot too, so good where her jeans and dress goes into that suitcase and this night too as a memory.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ram and Jaanu, both the young actors and VJS, Trisha have done wonderfully. And, their friends as well, Divya Darshini, Aadukalam Murugadoss, and Bhagavathi and their younger version actors as well. Also, nice to see Janagaraj in a small role.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And, half the credits and praise for Jaanu goes to Chinmayi as well for her dubbing and singing all the songs. Not just the songs in the album, those beautiful Ilayaraja songs as well, Thendral Vanthu and Yamunai Aatrile. Everyone clapped instinctively after her Thendral Vanthu rendition at the reunion. And, whoever sang for the younger Jaanu as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, Premkumar makes an excellent debut and also amazing screenplay to keep you hooked for nearly three hours with just two characters. A very natural VJS and Trisha, Govind Vasantha's music and songs help big time. And, so many beautiful shots around Chennai in that night by the cinematographer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
And, the most beautiful part of this movie is even here there's a 'what-if' portion that comes in the second half where Jaanu narrates her imaginary story of VJS's proposal to VJS's students. Both, of them, know that was a big moment which changed both their lives. 'What-if' Jaanu had seen Ram or 'what-if' Ram have waited and met her in person. So, we get Jaanu's version of 'what-if'. No other visual could have justified the "Kadhale Kadhale" song as well. That was literally the best part of this movie for me. I wish the movie ended right there I could have just imagined Ram and Jaanu are now together in some other parallel time.</div>

<div dir="ltr">
Not often you get to see back-to-back great movies in big screen. And, it happened this week. After Pariyerum Perumal, here comes another contender for movie of the year Ratsasan. Director Ram Kumar is back after four years with Vishnu Vishal, Kaali Venkat and Munishkanth again after Mundasupatti. And, oh boy, this is completely different and vera level.</div>

Ratsasan, right from the trailer we are clear that we are in for a treat if we love this genre involving Psycho serial-killer. And, yes those who love this genre are gonna enjoy this much, just like me. I felt like I forgot to breathe for the most part of the movie. I don't remember watching a Tamil movie with this much intensity right from the first scene till the very end. And, in these kind of movies the intensity could be missing once we get to know the identity of the killer, but director Ram Kumar made sure it doesn't slip even after we know the killer.</div>

So, the story, hero Vishnu was an aspiring filmmaker who wants to make a movie based on a serial-killer, but he couldn't get the green light from any producer. After struggling for years and due to his family pressure, he joins as an SI in the police department. And, then a murder happens and because of his research, he thinks it's a serial-killer. And, how he convinces his colleagues, who were not ready to take orders from "nethu-vantha-unnakku-ennada-teriyum" SI, especially his lady chief officer and proceeds to find the killer is the story which was told without even wasting a single second. Even the heroine character was not the typical love story which runs parallel to the main story, the director somehow involves her as well.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The two pillars of this movie are Ram Kumar's screenplay and Ghibran's music. It was absolutely spine-chilling. He just turns simple shots to a different level with his work. Those BGMs still rings in your ears even after you have left the theatre. This is not a horror movie, yet you have the constant fear of what's 'bad' going to happen.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is director's second movie after four years. I think he took so much time in perfecting the script and rewriting so many rough draft before locking into this perfect script. Even the title written on a piano has a significance and all the gift boxes as well.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Vishnu looks perfect as a policeman, but it is Munishkanth who impressed me a lot with not just his laughs, but also in emotional scenes, what a changeover. Even Vishnu's egoistic chief police officer was good who couldn't let herself to accept Vishnu is right. And, there was a creepy maths teacher as well. Whose character is to make people aware of whom might be around us.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I feel this kind of film doesn't need a soppy flashback to justify the actions behind the psycho killer, but at least it wasn't cliched or boring as well. The only logical question I have was how did the police department get that hearing aid of that girl? I don't think the killer would have packed the girl with that hearing aid or even the police don't know where the murder took place. But, it is just me nitpicking in an otherwise flawless thriller. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Ratsasan, a well-researched movie with a gripping screenplay which doesn't lose it intensity and doesn't have any unwanted comedy track or love track or unwanted songs. Keeps you hooked and it will make you follow Vishnu for the clues in finding the killer and also in a constant fear of what might happen.</div>
