Easter Memories

As it’s Easter eve, I decided to tap open that Pandora box of memories and reflect for a bit

Mine would be the memories of rushing back home after Easter dinner that’s offered at church, having a good night’s sleep and waking up to devour freshly made appams and stew. 

The dream during the day of Easter would be waking up to smiles and good food. The ride to and fro church through the roads past midnight are also etched in my memories

Amma would never let us touch the stew that she prepared before church-going, even after the lent had finished! We had to wait until the next morning to experience her mastery 

Then the get-together party that we / our relatives would host later that day, with laughs, meats, sweets and alcohols flowing. Then the drive back home dreading school the next day

How can I forget the Easter bunnies that my relatives used to gift us?

Also the hard boiled eggs that we used to peel at church for Easter dinner?

Good memories, that can’t be relived

Now, on the eve of Easter, I can’t seem to enjoy recollecting those memories. Like it was something that happened from a past life

Anyways, I just had to share my memories and smile to sleep, with an ache in my heart

Happy Easter everyone. Heading to church tomorrow at dawn. Hope you had a blessed and fulfilling lent

Black (2004) - Raw, Gritty and Stylish

                                                                       "Black: The man from Darkness" Neo-noir films have that magical allure to excite people and to compel them to explore the greyer areas of the drama called life. For people that enjoy and have a sense of morbid curiosity about what happens in the darker avenues of life, this genre is a definite route to escapism. Black is one such attempt from the famed Ranjith-Mammooty combination and I respect the superstar for choosing such a dark and complex subject and playing the role to perfection. Churned from actor Lal's own Lal Release, Karikamuri Shanmughan or Kumari is an iconic character in Mammootty's long alley of iconic career characters and holds an undoubted sense of swag to this day.   Credits - Blac...

Rosapoo (2018) - An Offbeat attempt at something bold

Rosapoo Movie Poster Source: IMBD Being an avid fan of films that handle quirky subjects, Rosapoo is one such effort from Malayalam Cinema, that remains unexplored by many. Handling the subject of the adult film industry that's set on the backdrop of the late nineties and early noughties, and it's impact on churning films that reigned supreme in the cinema kottakas (theaters) at that time .  It provides a curious snapshot of those forgotten and indecorous days of old, in the Malayalam Film Industry. Days that the Malayalam Film Industry would like to forget, memories that are stowed away into a silent and forgotten shutter in the attic of our minds.
