And then I watched Vallamai Thaaraayo

Stablishing myself through the Storm

As I had mentioned in my previous posts, February 15 was a disaster. I didn’t like the day even a little bit. It was not only that marriage day I hated but, the problems started happening right before it and the problems sustained even after that marriage day.

It was like getting caught by a storm.

Vallamai Thaaraayo was great escapism before February 15th and Cook with Comali helped me a lot in copping up with the events that followed that marriage day.

I started binging Vallamai Thaaraayo after watching a clip in Instagram. I am a great Fanatic of this YouTube channel called the Temple Monkeys. After watching their videos constantly and repeatedly, I started searching the works done by the actors in the Temple Monkeys Team.

I started watching Short Films of Rishikanth, Abdul Lee and even watched a Indian Mini Web series about Indian Military because of Badri from the Temple Monkeys.

That’s how I found Vallamai Thaaraayo when I saw a clip Abdul Lee had posted in his Instagram handle.

It a dialogue Abdul had spoken in the 70th Episode of that show. It’s a “FEMINIST SHOW”.

The Show is about the life of an Indian girl from her childhood to womanhood. The show depicts how a typical South Indian girl gets treated in the patriarchal society. And I love shits like these. It teaches you how to be a well-maintained closet misogynist. **laughs hysterically**

But Seriously, sometimes, the shows punched my guts by the true depicts of stereotypes of South Indian women. I can even say it felt like a serialized version of Great Indian Kitchen if I may. It’s a 15-minute episodic drama about a woman named Abi who evolves into from a shy girl to a normal human being with self-respect (And its very difficult to be a normal human being especially a girl in India)

I made my brother and my mother to watch this show. They both are a duo when comes to watching Tamil Serials. They both watch Pandian Stores and Bharathi Kannamma in Hotstar daily. Both were cringe fests if you ask me. I shouted and then pleaded at them to watch Vallamai Thaaraayo instead of that feminist wannabe Kannamma from Bharathi Kannamma.

Abi is much more matured than Kannamma in all aspects. **nods hysterically**

The last episode aired in the second week of February on 12-02-2021.

I successfully predicted Abi’s decision she would be taking at the end of the serial. Fun Fact: I got in a fight with one Boomer in the comment section of Episode 72 of Vallamai Thaaraayo. It’s a intense fight and I finally faked my defeat to maintain my sanity. I’ll post the Screenshots here to make it as a nostalgic reference. The guy with the Tamil text is my opponent.



On the same week, I read Right Behind You by Neil D’Silva. I had bought this book from the great Womaniser to read. It’s a collection of short stories on Horror. I was planning on giving it back to him when I meet him at the marriage function. So, I finished it that week. I also finished reading Why I am an Atheist & Other Works by Bhagat Singh FINALLYYY!!!

I had watched only two movies on the second weekend of February both on the theatres.

Kutty Story – I watched the evening show of this movie on a Saturday and this movie was a disaster. It’s an Anthology film with 4 short films by 4 different directors. Except Nalan’s movie, I hated all the other three. Yuck!

Parris Jayaraj – I watched this movie on a Sunday morning. I was supposed to go to the lodge to get ready for the wedding next day. Before that, me and my buddies watched this film and Surprisingly, I loved it. I loved all the songs in this movie. It’s a commercial comedy movie and I enjoyed it.

I finally finished a fictional novel that I have TBR’d on 2014 in the Goodreads. It’s the old book I have put in my TBR list in Goodreads. Its Train to Pakistan by Khushwant Singh. After the marriage function, my mind didn’t want to read anything. So, I temporarily stopped reading this book and started watching Cook with Comali.

Ranking of Harry Potter Books

  The End This book is my second least favourite book of Harry Potter series (I’ll explain why Deathly Hallows didn’t become my worst HP book while I give the ranking of HP books). I expected Harry’s character to mature a bit after he fucked up because of his recklessness in the last book. But guess what, he was the same and it costed Albus Dumbledore’s life. Okay! That’s a cruel thing to say. But when I read the book, I wanted Dumbledore to live. (It all changed when I read the next book!) And he deserved more respect from Harry. I knew Dumbledore never trusted anyone and all that shit. But Harry should’ve trusted Dumbledore (even though Dumbledore blamed himself in this book. This is mutual respect motherfucker!) And the climax was another tragedy and this time, I didn’t like the tragedy. Mainly because how the final book was set up in the climax of the sixth book. I didn’t want the trio to wander away to find some weird deathly hallows. I wanted them to stay in Hogwart...

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...
