A Week To Kill

So the college has been suspended indefinitely and we are all sad that we cannot enjoy our college lives in campus. So we came up with the next best thing, that is going out the whole day and laying around in veli tourist village, trying not to get stares and verbal abuse from the guards and the passerbys. We ended up having a wonderful time and taking about a 100 pics. So I thought may as well post some.



Thats the gang. From left Kulu, Malu, Anjana, Lekshmi, Mag and Muthapa. Madavan is missing from the pic. And Dasan joined in later. 

The chicks and ducks. :P 

That's most of the gang. So its Muthapa & Lekshmi in the back and Kulu and Anjana in the front. 

Muthapa found a nice spot to pose. He was positively esctatic afterwards. 

Me lougin' on pavam Kulu's leg. I was on a short break from being the official photographer. 

The lunch was at the local five star hotel and chayakada. Apparently the meen karri was superb but I stuck to my good old mirinda.

Mag and Anjana swinging, trying not to drag their feet on the ground, cos the swing was obviously for kids under 10. They both fit in mentally :P. 

The old monkey inside comes up once in a while in Anjana. Letting it all go after the tension of the elections, the S8 representative candidate. 

Madavan and Mag flying in the wind. 

Fed up with this world. Everything is upside down. So thats me trying to turn everything right. 

Ofcourse, finally the beach. It was extreme fun. 

Day at a shoot : Pics

My gang at the shoot. 

Thats philiposes shot. For most of the night he was in that condition. And it was damn cold out there. 

The shoot going on, with philiposes tied up solo scene. 

Rage drummer Midhun. He was a cool dude. 

The Actress putting on her makeup. 

Thats the so called band in the water. Jonathan is on the left, Philipose in the middle and Rage bass guitarist Pramod on the right. 

Perfect Shoot

We were on my bike, me and podiyan, he with a Manvetti in one hand and a laptop in the other. We were on the way to one of the darnest days of my life.

Philipose had set up the shoot of "Thalarathe" video (Thallae Vid for short), which he had set out to do on his own without any help from professional production handlers. So we (that is about 30 pro film unit guys and some guys like directors, camera man etc, and ofcourse then us 6 guys, a beautiful chick and Philipose's grandma) went to our first location in nagercoil. So Philipose being himself was late, and the outdoor unit guys started to set up all the filmy stuff out in the jungle, while it was already getting dark (remember in the jungle no lights).

So this is when it started going crazy, and the mammoth flaws in the producer's aka Philipose's planning started to dribble out. It turned out the permissions that he claimed he had already taken did not exist and now there was no way to shoot in the forest. I had fun walking around in circles three times trying to find Jonathan and the guys in the pitch dark forest.

So a local pandi annan (kumarettan) came to the rescue and finally got us a new location. By the time philipose and jojy (new entry) showed up with the actress, bringing Sankar and more importantly the food with him in his omni. The new location turned out to be about 8 kms into the wilderness, by the side of a pond with a, made for shooting 'single tree in the middle of the water' look and a lot of good sceneries nearby. The time was 10:30 pm when the shoot began, and philipose was running about with his chest painted with red scars by the makeup man. The so called band was made to stand in the water and philipose was tied to the tree with chains and mud sprayed all over him.

The shoot would have been pretty boring if it were not for the actress and her gimmicks, which Indian Board Of Certification would not allow me to publish online. Anyway Sankar and Jojy made away with the girl in the morning when the shoot was over and they apparently got married (atleast exchanged rings, and dont look at me like that). I had a fun time with Jojy's nikon D50, his laptop and his mini dv cam, so I was not complaining. Anyway after a few more very interesting events the day came to an end with me storming out in an auto saving myself a lot of unbearable scenes (unlucky for him vishnu got away too late) and I got back to college in time for lunch. And finally yesterday I got my lost sleep. I'll post the pics as soon as I get them.

Sex of the target : Female ofcourse

My lover
1) Me being Hans Solo in my outlook first the physical part. She should be under 5' 3'', dark, slim and slightly athletic (if you are particular 34 26 36 would be perfect!). She should have clear, clean cut features and clear skin. Her fingers should be slender and perfect (I love girls with beautiful hands). I must be able to look into her lovely eyes for hours and be eternally happy.

2) Intelligence ofcourse is a pre-requiste for being even considered seriously as a lover. Logic is one of my favorite words and should be her's too. Atleast she should be logical enough to fight about it with me some. I wanna be able to have long discussions with her, hours and hours talking, holding hands (wow).

3) She should be cool about things, and not be fussy at all about things. She should not be after me to be cleaner, neater etc about my room/clothes/plates etc. Maybe a little. Not too much.She should be efficient and calm about the house and share my peculiar tastes in food.

4) She should read me before I put the words down onto my mind. She should understand things, understand when I need her, understand when to give in, when to take a stand.

5) She should support me in what ever I do. Constructive criticism. Intelligent Discussions. Wise advice. Thats my girl. Muahz.

6) She should have a strong spirit. A spirit to keep going. A spirit to live. A spirit to stay happy. A spirit to make everyone around her and especially me happy. What would I do without her?

7) She should be basically good. Must have a good heart if you may. Actually that is infact a personal definition I do not wish to discuss now. Anyway she must fit in perfectly. I know she would, why else would I ever fall ever so madly in love with my baby.

8) Well, I know everyone is waiting for the punch which is missing. What would my baby think if I were to disappoint my readers? So ofcourse, she would be one hell of a tigeress in bed!!!

That ends my first tag. So now to pass on my tag..
1) Magneta
2) Shruti George
3) Rahi
4) Duttan
5) Meenu
6) Frantic
7) eMJay
8) Roshan

Life 2 Waters Of Kerala, part : Deux

Well, I have been talking about it for a while now. Now finally I can say "We did it. We got the samples. And we've got pics to prove it!".

We traversed about 60 kms of coastal roads of kerala on our quest (quest as in collection of muddy water) for a cause, cause that is the revival of a forgotten yet glorious inland waterway connecting Trivandrum to hte central and northern parts of kerala. At certain locations we were sure why kerala is called God's Own Country. At certain parts we had to run from the locals who were teasing the girls with a variety comments of varying degrees of bad taste. We even helped a 70 year old grandpa guy get his moped over moulds of rocks at a bridge construction site ( Grandpa's gratitude - "aniyanmaare vaa.. oru single tea okke adichittu pokam aa kadennu.." ; sadly we had to refuse due to time constraints).

Luckily for us we never took a wrong turn even though it was unchartered territory as far as we were concerned. The locals were helpful in giving directions, but getting to the site with the girls was a constant attack on my nerves. At one place (Thaazhu Vettoor) we had a bunch of kids tease the hell out of us in original Raayamaanikyam style. But they did show us the way to get down to the very very stagnant water (they mistaked Maneesh for a teacher, though I cant blam them, as he was slight misfit in the group). And the last station and last of Maneesh's photographs on site were taken at Anjengo (Anju Thengu, and we could not figure out where the five coconut trees were) by 2:30 and we had ample time to get back to Varkala have our chikin biryanis and move onto Varkala beach. There we had our fun before our trip back to Trivandrum.

Next stop > Socio-Economic survey + Probably naatukarude thallu .. (Weekend job from now) on.
