This is how you start a New Year!

New year started with a BANG!

The title of this post might be a little bit misleading.

I haven’t lost my virginity yet. I am still a VIRGIN. I didn’t bang anyone to start this new year. Instead, I got the “high”, one would get after a bang (or love making, whatever!)

I started my new year by watching two movies at the theatre.

Them being – Aayirathil Oruvan and Pudhupettai.

I watched the morning 11:30 show of Aayirathil Oruvan and had my lunch in a fast-food truck. Post lunch, I watched the 3 PM Show of Pudhupettai. I didn’t have any holiday on new year. So, after reaching my home from the theatres, I started my usual work.

More about my experience with these two movies later (probably in another post) but, the weird and exciting part of this is…

My high didn’t end by watching the movies. To be precise, it was just the starting point of the most exciting, irritating, tired (or you name it!) line of events that are going to take part in the next 3 days.

One week before,

26 December 2020.

Me and my friend Mani Gundan were in the middle of the WhatsApp Battle that we usually have time to time. I didn’t remember about the topic we both were arguing. In the heat of the moment, I started losing my temper. And this was a sign of weakness. We both were best buds in the college because of our fights. Many a time I had lost my temper while arguing with him.

It’s not because that I lacked points in my side of argument. It’s because I am arguing with the devil himself – The Gundan.

In the initial stages of my college, I used to lose my temper on every topic we argued. But then I came to know that he was intentionally trying to make me lose my temper. It’s a fetish of that fat fucker. On hearing this, I kind of liked this fetish and started using it against him. And I kind of started defeating him on the later battles.

But the case we were dealing on 26th December 2020 was a different one. It’s something related to a cringe video about mother sentiment. After 30 minutes of heated argument, on the verge of my temper, I called him.

It’s better to talk it out then typing it out!

Planning a Trip

Of course, I won the argument. It’s our duty to make fun of those mother sentiment cringes. When a guy supports it, then there’s no way but to troll the shit out of him.

Finally, I won, and he started to change the topic to avoid the trolls. If it was not for that topic that he had chosen, I would’ve trolled him for sure.

That topic was planning a trip!

Ah!

It brings back a lot of memories when I think about planning a trip. We used to plan a lot during the college days, but never once have we done it! But there’s no harm in planning it right?

So, that’s how our plan began.

After our college reunion, I decided against planning anything. It’s one thing if you are a by-stander in party planner. But it’s entirely a different thing when you are the planner of that party. So, I didn’t mind planning something that would not happen anyway. And thinking about trips are more enjoyable that executing it.

After one hour of discussion, I started feeling to go somewhere on a trip. A hill station would be nice. I had already visited Kodaikanal during my college days. After that I haven’t had any chance of going for a trip. Though I had during my training period of my company, I rejected it because I was not in the mood at that time. But now, I was all for it. And I hate to think about the failure of this trip plan.

I desperately wanted a trip. This was not the first time I felt like going for a trip. Exactly a week before Christmas (I guess!), me and my Natpu – SJ were talking about going for a long trip to Kanyakumari in February, Goa in Summer and even Pakistan. Yes! We both planned to go to Pakistan for a day at the end of 2021. But that’s not going to happen.

The point is – after our conversation, my mood to travel was over 9000!

And Gundu mani’s conversation just added water to my boiling oil of excitement. It erupted and as a result, we decided to go for a one-day trip to Ooty!

Aftermath of a trip is worse than a hangover

  The Wrap Up The Ooty trip had taught me too things! One – To spend minimally. Two – To plan stealthily. I brought a Jumbo Loan immediately after my Ooty Trip. After my discussion with my mom, it was inevitable for me to take a loan. The loan helped me to pay my credit card, my brother’s last year college fees and we had bought a water purifier too.  Surprisingly, I decided to take a 10 Year Asset Insurance plan and started saving 60k each year. I started saving for my Kanyakumari trip too. So, I have created an RD account for 6 month (I am going to break it out in 3 months... DUH!!) and started saving 3000 a month. Though it had its disappointments, the Ooty also had its fair share of enjoyments. It was a great beginning for the year 2021.   I had never imagined that I would watch two Selvaraghavan’s films on a new year (that too back-to-back). It had happened this year. Even completing a one-day Ooty trip was also an achievement of some sorts, excluding its...

NOI – A Short Film by Naveen Selvakumar (Last Days of IBM #2)

NOI – A Short Film by Naveen Selvakumar In June 26, I watched a Japanese film called One Cut of the Dead (2017) It’s a movie about a director who directs a zombie movie in an abandoned building. But there is one problem. They have to shoot the movie in a single take, without any cut. While they were shooting, real zombies started to attack them and the movie was about the events that had happened before and after the zombie attack. It was an excellent movie. The hero of the movie (who played as a director) and the director of our short film, Naveen Selva Kumar (NSK) look exactly the same. Both look wise and skill wise.  It all started in the mid of July. 16th of July to be exact. I was planning on watching two Malayalam movies that weekend when NSK sent me a script and asked me to read it. The next day, I watched Nayattu (2021) and Malik (2021)  Both movies brought a lot of controversies. Nayattu dealt with making Dalit as bad guys (not explicitly) and...
