The Tender Coconut Water of Love

Movie : Anuraga Karikkin Vellam
Year : 2016


“Love comes and goes, but even when it goes, it leaves something good in its wake.”
These are the words Raghu says to his son Abhi when his love leaves him. It definitely sounds a little cliche, but it’s a truth that many people fail to realise.

It took Raghu years to realise the importance of affection and fondness in a relationship. He definitely cared for Suma, his wife, but never showed the affection she always wanted from him. What it took to overcome this inertia was the return of Raghu’s lost love in his life. What Raghu needed was someone with whom he can talk freely. And when Nandini, his lost love returns, he gets that missing piece of his life.



Abhi is exactly the same as his father. He doesn’t show affection. On the other hand, Eli is super affectionate. She cares too much about Abhi. This affection and possessiveness always irritated him. And it was his only reason to break up with her. Eli reminds us a little of Dimple from Ladies vs Ricky Bahl.

Anuraga Karikkin Vellam, as the name implies, shows us that love is like tender coconut water. It is sweet, but at the same time it is immature too.

Wake up, Life is calling

Life is not a pre-planned story. Like in film or drama, you can’t decide or plan the next scene. Even if you planned everything, there is no guarantee you will make it work. Every character in our life is not pre-decided. They come uninvited and leave unexpectedly. They make us feel safe but sometimes strange. Either they care about you or not. And it is unpredictable that who will remain by your side. They may be there when you need them or maybe not. The too much expectation of your s can leave you shattered. Sometimes the actions we do are the things which you didn’t intend to do, but end up doing so. The impact can be good or bad. But only know if we do it. Some of these can change our lives. The impact they make is unimaginable. If it results in tragedy, even if it is in the past, the incident will haunt you like a cursed soul. It could damage your whole life, but only if you let it do so. You are the one who has the ownership of your life. You can decide what should happen

They blamed :: That was harsh, he was a good guy.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I replied :: Just because he is a good guy and he cares for me, it doesn't mean that I too should feel same for him.. More over it is impossible for me to love him back with the same intensity as he do.. He deserves someone better than me, who would love him back with the same intensity as he do..

Movie : The Sky Is Pink (2019) Director : Shonali Bose Family is all about love and support. Having a sibling is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world. Even though we hate them for very little things, we can’t picture a world without them. An elder sibling could play multiple roles in our life. He or she could be our parents, teacher, best friend and an advisor, all at once. Sometimes, they are the only one to read you like an open book. The love they have for you is unconditional! When Ishan first got to know he will soon be an elder brother, his happiness had no bounds. From the day Aishi was born, unknowingly he started to become that loving, caring elder brother. Even though his little sister’s arrival only made things difficult, he never complained about it. The absence of his mother’s presence at home definitely made him sad. But he recovered that too because everything was doing to make his little sister happy and perfect.  Throughout her life, Aishi’s Giraffe stood be
