Tutorial days- 3

This was the third day . Vijay was sitting next to joshy.There was this new fellow who looked yo yo by his looks. His name is Benny and he had a chain in his hand which was meant to hold his key so that it does not get lost. He was much older than vijay. He had been working in a software firm in trivandrum. The thing is that he worked in a rare platform which uses small talk as the language. To avoid signing a contract in this company he resigned from the company and wanted to pursue a career in bank. His parents were forcing to take up a govt job. In these days of recession this kind of things are understandable as parents are more concerned about the future of their kids.

He spoke of his worries not being satisfied about the job he had and he says that the job was too demanding. Its difficult to survive in IT industry after an age.'Then you should either take up management or be in the project lead otherwise life sucks!!!.'Thats what he had to say. Most of the people in the group had a feeling that it indeed is true. why is a man earning so much if he is not able to spend it or live happily...

The class almost began and vijay's glance landed up on a fellow who was sitting on the row on his left side. The face looked so familiar. Vijay asked that fellow 'Dude I have seen you some where but i am not able to recollect it where.'
The fellow replied 'even i too remember your face but damn it i am not getting where we have seen each other.... Any ways nice to meet you I am shibin. we might have seen somewhere in a theater. are you a movie buff?'
'yeah sort of... mostly i watch english flicks i even bunk classes to go for movies'
The class began.It was maths class.
'dude i don't know anything other than adding and subtracting ' shibin lamented. 'The effort i had to take to pass b com only God knows'
'don't worry dude its only 10th standard maths and its all about how fast we calculate. and there are no differentiation and integration. attend some practice tests and you will get that speed ... believe me'

It was afternoon time i.e the test time. practice test was over and its time for every one to go. These three fellows vijay,benny and shibin were talking and were stuck in a topic. yes you guessed it right "Liquor".
Benny-'Dude I still use the old time and tested brands like ocr opr rums'
shibin- 'don't drink that i heard that it contains turpentine and tar'
ben- 'doesn't matter. we should not forget our roots. i am not going to forget it.'
Vijay-'brand doesn,t matter to me all i want is to drink what ever i get'
ben- 'have u seen romanov its in a orange bottle its a beauty'
vij - 'i have never heard of that stuff , must be expensive'
ben- 'yeah it is available only in select bars. now i don't even go to bar. i drink it in public places. just be beware of the police. checking is too much'
shibin- 'such a pity....i had stopped it to an extent but this talk is too much for me.come on guys lets go to the bar'
vij-' no dude there is time for everything we will have it another day'

suddenly raju and joshy sprang up .
' you kudiyans(alcoholics) is the brandy, whisky talk over . can the normal people join you?' joshi said.
' I don't drink but i certainly want to see you guys drinking. it will be a terrific experience' said raju

Again its 4 o clock time for all to leave.

Mis castings

I have always been in awe of holly wood movies. The quality of the hollywood movies are unmatchable. Most of the scripts are original and are not duplicated. Stories are genuine and interesting. Even the art movies have the power to capture the imagination of the audience which is great. Most of the indian movies are adaptations of hollywood movies and lack of exposure to holly wood is often exploited by the indian film makers.

Everything is nice about holly wood the script, music, action sequences, plots, graphics. But one thing they lack these days is that the type of actors that are casted in the movies these days. holly wood means perfection in lots of sense. but sometimes it lacks good casting. for example the recently released robin hood had Russel crowe in the lead. He looked like a robin hood who is about to retire from robbery. he was such a huge miscast. No offence to russel crowe but this kind of favourism is doing no favour to holly wood. Russel crowe is the favourite actor of director ridley scott. but this movie looked like a sequel to the gladiator and was a dark movie. I am sure nobody enjoyed it watching it in the theatre. But the robinhood starring kevin costner which was released in 1991 seemed to be a much better film compared to the latest version. There was so much fun, adventure and frolic involved in that movie which was badly missing in this one.

Another example is the recently released predators starring Adrien Brody. Brody who is considered as an intense actor and an actor with immense talent. No wonders he has won the oscars. But i think he has done a blunder by acting in an action movie like the predators. Every movie if it is a sequel will always be compared to its original. like wise its certain that the audience will compare brody to schwarzenegger who had epitomised the earlier lead character in the first version of the predators. critics even complaint that how can adrien brody who hardly fits into the biceps of Arnold could take up such a role. was there any need to damage the reputation of his acting skills?...An action hero like jason statham could have done much better. But before blaming these actors lets blame the directors who chose these actors because these are total miscasts. I hope holly wood won t go astray over casting suitable actors to fit into the plot of the movies.
