If you are looking forward to reading yet another review that is going to rave about this movie, then go ahead and skip reading this post.
Stunning locations & the vibrant colours of Trisha’s lovely costumes captured beautifully on camera and, of course, the songs and the background music are all I liked in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. I just loved the BGM parts that had Aaromale and Hosanna.

I had been to Guruvayur on 31st Jan, a Sunday. Guruvayur is about 28km from Thrissur. We reached the Guruvayur Shri Krishna (Guruvayurappan) temple at around 4:25 pm. The temple is usually closed from 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm. So, almost half the queue complex outside the temple was already full by the time we reached. There is no concept of buying tickets and getting a special darshan here either. If one doesn’t want to go to the inner sanctum of Guruvayurappan, then there is another entrance through which one can go near the dhwajastambham of the temple alone. The temple has a tank called rudra tIrtam, which is next to this entrance.

While it’s easy to try to take it lightly and laugh and forget it all, when the same thing happens the next day too, you end up feeling as though you’re the stupidest person you know! Two days in a row is too much to take. Hope this doesn’t continue tomorrow as well! I have had enough bulbing moments!

This line in the very-frequently-aired advertisement of ‘Alive’ coffee seems to be the most-heard line on every other channel! Couldn’t help remembering it as I drank a cup of piping-hot water which felt heavenly for my throat, which is on the verge of being struck by cold. Inhaling the steam and later drinking the hot water is one of those unsuccessful attempts at trying to ward-off the cold & fever. But nothing works like Vicks and a good night’s sleep. Falling asleep with the aroma of Vicks engulfing you is pure bliss! Good Night, folks!
P.S.: The last few weeks have been a mix of hectic, fun-filled, memorable & great days. I am really trying hard to get back to regular blogging. Let’s see if it happens at least this month.
