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.

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...

AWOL (The Red #2)

  “What the Hell, Ed” “Hey Babe! You look good” “Aff! Don’t call me Babe. And you look terrible! Wipe that cocaine off your mouth” “You got me Babe.” – She liked when I call her babe. Rolling her eyes, she helped herself inside my apartment. She knows all about my apartment. It was not long back my apartment was called our apartment. “This has to be something good, Ed. I never wanted to see you again. And I am tired reading all your drafts for all year.” – She never looked at me since she entered my apartment. She thinks that she is the reason for my lack of talent. She sat down on the sofa. “Babe. I know you feel guilty because you were the one who broke up with me. But it’s not your fault, Babe” – I can feel that it triggered something inside her. She suddenly looked at me, eyes blazing. “I feel guilty? Or I should be feeling guilty?” Shit! She took it in the wrong way. Before I can open the mouth, she started shouting. “It has been one year since we broke up. A...
