flavor

Flavor: -

Yesterday after long hours of work reached home by 11:30. While eating, I started to browse the TV channels. In star Movies, a movie named flavor was telecasted. The story is based on 4 Indian families or group of friends working in US. Probably, there would be 12-15 characters. I will not say the movie was amazing but I laughed my stomach out and it was refreshing. The Indian accent of English, and ppl trying to make themselves as American wereas beautifully depicted.

A guy (lead role) is about to marry an American lady (jenny). His parents have come from India to attend the marriage. The feelings of parents, their behavior, their desire to take photos wherever they go, the mother's fear about the American lady whether will she be with her son without divorcing him etc, learning to send email were covered beautifully.

There was another recently married couple & the guy (Nikil) lost his job. After he has been laid off, he sends an adieu scolding his boss, and deletes all the technical folders mercilessly (That was practically shown) and the height is the facial reaction of other Indian GIRLS when he moves out of the office was excellent. These girls saw him as a piece of shit. This guy's spouse (sangeetha) is a house wife and she does not have any work to do... she keeps cleaning the house, stow the books and magazines etc. every 10 mins she adjusts the flower vase on the tea-table... the height of vettiness was well shown. GIRLS beware of marrying a US guy and being a housewife... ulaga maga vetti.

In another gang, 3 guys are staying with a girl (candy). This girl is employed and her company provides the accommodation. She sub-lets the house to the 3 guys. Typical girlish stuff. She write "Rules to be followed" and pastes it in the door. And amongst the guys 2 were jobless and 1 (Vivek) was just asked to move out of job (Not fired). The attitude and having beer at late nights etc were good...

Yet another 3 character were there, Karthik, rachana, and ramana. Karthik and ramana are in west coast and this rachana is in east cost. Karthik and rachana are frnds on phone email and chatting.... ramana is filthy rich guy want to marry rachana and Karthik is in love with rachana. And this lady goes behind ramana for money...but later, turns to Karthik... the emotions and feelings were typical Indian...

As a whole the film was an entertainer and brought laughter. I felt better after the day long work... :)

swimming

Swimming....

After a long time, I went for swimming. The pool is not too big. I guess it should be a 30X20 mts pool. . It is in level 4 of my office tower. Though I have not self-learnt swimming, I could not swim smoothly. I have a problem in breathing. Guess it is the fear of drowning in the water. On land, I can hold my breath for more than a minute. But in water, I could not even hold it for 10 seconds. I made three full laps but it was not continuous. I took a long break at every other end of the pool. I knew, I have to be bit slow and rhythmic in swimming. But once I give a push and start, I only concentrate on my suffocation and loose the rhythm. Practice makes perfection. I have to be bit regular in swimming. After 3 full laps, I guess, I got some confidence in myself. In the last half lap, I went comparatively slow and peeped my head out of water as a duck and breathed. But that is wrong. I shall concentrate on my breathing style. My immediate concentration will be on breathing techniques and increasing the number of laps.
