Classmates - A Review

Long time since I went for a Malayalam movie..
Which was the last good movie I saw on big screen ?
Probably , this traces back to a year back .. Perumazhakkaalam ?
(okay, if you kick out the keyword 'good' from the statement, there are plenty to list)

The theme is interesting. You may say, its a campus movie. But more than a mere campus-movie, its a get-together movie.. A campus get-together after a long 15 years. The kind of life the characters in the movie had, the get-together makes a lot of sense. And there is a 'cause' behind the get-together, over and above just a meet...

I wonder, if such a get-together will ever happen in my life..
Two reasons:
1. Till my engineering, I dint have a 'life' at school/college.. These places were just 10 to 4 study machineries.
2. A get-together of this sort is out of question, at least now. Coz all my friends are with/around me itself :-) .... Of course, the scenario after 15 years is totally unpredictable. Cant really tell, what kind of growth these guyz would have gone thru - financially, career-wise, family-wise, and sideways :-D

But trying a time machine , let me map some of these ppl..

Dipu -> Happily married, have got a flat in Sarjapur Road. Is a project manager. Handles 3 projects. Is 39 yrs old.. Interestingly, no grey hair. in fact.. very little hair :-P
Enjoying life with his wife and a smart lil girl. She is in 3rd grade.

Sand -> Again, happily married. to whom, is very clear. They have a flat too in Bangalore. Sand has jumped company twice, and is now at a senior manager post. Had rejected 2 onsite offers, coz of family pressure. Jr Sandy is in 4th grade. Sand owns a Hyundai Accent !

Geo -> US-returned and got married in quick time, somtime in June 2k7. She is working in an IT firm in Chennai. Post marriage, she got xfered to Blore. Geo is still in rented house. No plans to get a flat. Of course, he now owns his favorite Tata Safari.

Sho -> He had the chance to celebrate his honeymoon on company expense in the US. Returned with a bunch of kids.

Gasper -> He is in Kingfisher Airlines. Asst Manager. This guy is 40 yyrs old, and has put on a lot of weight. Has specs too.. Not sure, if he is married or not :-S

KK -> Not a black hair on head. But no stopping to his authoritative style of talking or style of living. Lives life kingfisher style :-S Drinks like a pig , even post wedding. This guy, btw is settled in his home town, kochi. KK jr is studying with his mallu friends in his hometown. Lucky chap!

Finally, Rat -> 15 years from now, he is sitting in front of a dumb PC, typing a fresh blog
LOL

2.29AM is printed on right bottom corner of the screen..
Head is spinning ?!
Head drooping ?
Is it chicken guniya ? (thats a different blog topic, altogether)
Oh, Its coz i'm sleepy :-P

Tails:
Song of the day -> Ente Khalbile...
Face of the day -> Raziya
Scene of the day -> Raziya running towards the auditorium when Murali sings 'Ente Khalbile'. She is draped in a parda, but the uncovered part of her face tells a thousand and twenty three stories.
Act of the day -> Love letter exchange technique of Murali and Raziya. Keep the letter in a book in the library with the yellow book mark peeping out.
Style mannan of the day -> Pazhamthuni. His formal attire. A major part of his body way beyond his reach, but still manages to tuck into a green full sleeve shirt.

2.35AM!
Gud Nite (Gud Morning?!)

OH. forgot to add this.
Sho : did you check out the site photothing.com ? It lets you store full resolution pictures.
Rat : Check out new.photos.yahoo.com. It allows unlimited true resolution storage. Downloadable at the full size/resolution !
Alex : Oh , is it ? can i use my existing yahoo id to access it ?
Gasper : No, you have to use your neighbours id.
