Jairam's Jives: No Reservations - Movie Review

A Reminisce…

East, West, North or South, people breath air, drink water, eat food and need light…They have feelings and sentiments….

Depending on the whether and circumstances, food, clothing and shelter differ, and depending on the culture, education and the surroundings, the behavior…and life pattern….

During the past couple of months, could sleep at night, work during the day..no cooking, cleaning required.... There is these favourate quotes of mine send once by Paul, which is by Henry Ford: Innovation isn’t made by hard workers, but by Lazy people, trying to find easier ways to do the same.....So be proud to be lazy....
Cosy bed, microwave, dishwasher, cooked food, cab, hot/cold water of your choice for anything and everything except to go to the lue.., paper, paper and paper everywhere...., People here are so polite and what not....They will:

Tell you 'Thank You' for anything and everything.
Open the door for you...(Just imagine this happening in India, that person will have to stand there for ever)
Say 'Bless You' when you sneeze.
Say ‘Thank You; when someone tells bless you.
Turn around and Say ‘Excuse me’ when you cough…
Never mind doing any thing...

There’s warmth in everything that they do. Workplace is just workplace for them. Wasn’t there a change in our response to such people, and also in the dealings between us too? We also tend to behave like them. We too stop minding opening door for them, saying thank you for every help that we get, smiling at everyone, and laughing loud! What can we derive out of this thought? Do we need change?? Necessarily not….

True, there were people loosing jobs, and their reactions were obvious…

And we were:
1. Vishwamitra or Krishna: set with a smile, asking every one to please tell in English ….'Two good neighbour'
2. Munshi, Mr. Sing,Sleeping hugging the clock, is it what is called round the clock?
3. Single Slip of the tongue, busy with love meeting….meow meow….
4. Father, dreamy, homely trying to be ‘happy’ missing home….'To good neighbour'
5. Ha, ha ha…coli nose, dekthey hey dekthey soo janey wala,
6. Snowman, maveli, santaclause, photographer,
7. Apperances are often deceptive, baby of the team, is busy DFS…incredible, unbelievable…hero...when he came he was a batchlor and now he is........
8. Awaiting to return and hunt for a bride, finally all smiles, when sme left??
9. Wire transfer means stomach transfer, all set to teach Malayalam here.
10. Dreamy eyes, happy that there is someone to entertain his children back home with similar dress that he had brought here
11. Home alone, boosssyy booossy, all set to create a record of process maps…
12. Theen Thigada Ladies, khay yee log kam bigadega ya sudarega?? One somalian pirate, the other bloggini, and the third...yap yap yap....


....I remember someone having said:

1. Visa interview is like engagement.
2. Getting into and reaching US is like marriage.
3. Stay during transition is honeymoon and
4. The real life starts when the project goes live!!! Life can be pleasant or unpleasant…

Hoping and praying that it be pleasant one without misunderstandings, confusions, and extensions….

… Shankers will be back on the coconut tree soon!!!

I take the good with the bad, Smile with the sad,
Love what I got, And remember what I had.
Always forgive and forget, Learn from my mistakes,
But never regret. People change, things go wrong,
I just know one thng .. That the show must Go On....

Picture abhi bhakee hey mere bhai!!!

Spring Egg Hunt!!

On 31st March 09. in each of our work areas, there was a hidden plastic egg with chocolates and a number inside. Beside our area, there were eggs hidden in the common areas of the department. For opi folks, they had kept separately 16 eggs.

We had to Find the eggs!!

There were prizes for each egg that we find and 96 eggs all together!!

A great surprise....Like treasure hunt, all were searching for the eggs.... and prices given per the number....I could find 5 eggs....

Inside the eggs there were numbers 1,2,and 3...what I had got was
2 violet, with 3 points each
1 Pink with 3 points
1 White with 3 point
1 Green with 2 point

and the prizes were for 3 we could select from a bottle of hand wash and plastic mug,
and for 2 point it was a lottery, if there were three identical nos, out of 12 we would get that much money, but for me all numbers were only 2, no luck, in that!!

Yup, searching the eggs was interesting.... Egg poachers and Swipers may have ventured outside their legal territory and swiped eggs?? Though it was said, Swiper no swiping!!

There were some who were not at all interested in this….Some though interested thought they were late, but there were eggs not found even after the scheduled time was over….

That was indeed a great event organised by the Fun committee...like our S & C committee....

And after the pize distribution, there were variety cakes for all....

Saare Jahan Se Achha....

‘If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power and beauty that nature can bestow-in some parts a very paradise on earth-I should point to India’
-Max Mueller, German Scholar, 1883.

The seventh largest country in the world. Its fast growing economy. Home to the ancient civilization of the Indus Valley, The Taj Mahal, Mother Teresa, the philosophy of Gandhism, and myriad schools of art and architecture.

The symbols of Indias greatness are as numerous as they are diverse.

The opening shot:

1857. The year India rose to break its shackles. The year the first step was taken on the long road to freedom. The year that say the First War of Independence. In more ways than one, the rebellion of 1857 kick-started India’s struggle for Independence. It made people realize the importance of unity to overthrow an oppressive regime. It resulted in the dissolution of the East India Company and replacement by direct ruel within the British Empire. Rani Lakshmibai, revered heroine of the great rebellion, is an iconic figure for all the brave warriors who fought and died striking a blow, to free India. Their dream is our reality now.

‘Bundelay harbolo kee muhu humney suni kahani thee, Khoob ladi mardani, whoo tho Jansi wali rani thee’.

An Immortal Life:


The impact of Mahatma Gandhi on the world has been extraordinary. His use of non-violent resistance in leading India to freedom inspired future leaders like Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, and set an example for freedom movements throughout the world. As a pioneer of the philosophies of Satyagraha and Ahimsa, Gandhi’s life is an example of unfaltering commitment to non-violence, even in the most extreme situations. He had in him the sublime sense of simplicity, gentleness and inner strength that characterized his life.

‘Raghupathi raghava raja ram, pathitha pavana sita ram, ishwar allaha thero nam, sabkho sanmathi dee bhagavan’

The religion of nation:

To say that cricket is the religion of the nation is to acknowledge the fact that cricket, more than any other single activity or belief, profoundly affects the whole country as one. Cricketing stars are heores to all, and success and failure on the pitch brings universal euphoria or sadness in equal measure. Winning the world cup in 1983 was the highest honour ever achieved by an Indian sproting team. Captain Kapil Dev received the Cup at the Lords, watched by fans all around the world.

‘Kadham Dagmagathey nahi, sheesha juktha nahi, Jab chah hey mathrubhumi khee, najar jukthey nahi’

Epitome of Indian Beauty:

Madhubala, often called the Marilyn Monroe of Indian Cinema is possibly the most breath-takingly beautiful actress of India ever. Born as Mumtaz Begum Jehan Dehlavi, Madhubala, even today remains the most enduring and celebrated legend of Indian Cinema. Her acting prowess coupled with her exquisite looks made, not just India but also Hollywood take notice. Despite Hollywood beckoning, Madhubala decided to stick to Bollywood. With the release of Mughal-E-Azam, Madhubala soon became larger than life. In fact this was the film that marked what many consider to be her greatest and definitive characterization as the doomed courtesan Anarkali. It would be an understatement to say that Madhubala still lives in the hearts of millions.

‘Hajaro Kwaish aise khee har kwaish pe dum nikley, bahuth nikley mere aarman, lekin fhir bhi kum nikley’.

The Timeless Art:

In 1952, by sheer chance, a bundle of paintings, wrapped in cloth were found dumped in the corner of an old fort in Kishangarh.On inspection they turned out to be one of the great treasures of Indian art, the Kishangarh miniatures, inspired by the divine lovers Radha and Krishna, and lost to the world for over 200 years. Flawless artisty, spiritual yearning, and eternal love and devotion all combine in the sublime mysticism of the Kishangarh school of art. It is recognized as the very pinnacle of the vast scope of Indian art and acclaimed by connoisseurs around the world.

In 1778 the great exponent of the art of miniature paining, Nihal Chand, created the legendary face of the Kishangarh Radha, the quintessence of Indian womanhood and grace.

‘Dastan-E-Muhabat bhani tasveero main, jab payee koyee amanath deewaro main’

A love story and a legend:


The most beautiful monument of love. The international symbol of India. The finest example of Mughal architecture at its peak, and recently voted and re affirmed as one of the seven wonders of the world. Built as a white marble mausoleum for Mumtaz Mahal, the favourite wife of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, Taj Mahal has grown to be the universal symbol of true love. Millions of tourists visit every year from all over the world, and most of them leave a little of their heart behind.

‘Muhabat chees hey aise, jo pather kho mom khar dee, khore kagaz par sahee see nam likey ya Tajmahal bhene dhee’

Indeed we can be proud of our countrys rich history and accomplishments, and hope for a peaceful, prosperous and happy future.

Blow a Gum Bubble!!

Bubblegum is a type of chewing gum especially designed for blowing bubbles. Since childhood I was always fascinated and wanted to learn to do this, and finally did it now….Thanks to the trainer…
" Nothing worthwhile ever happens quickly and easily. You achieve only as you are determined to achieve... and as you keep at it until you have achieved.”

Blowing gum bubbles will require time to get it right, but it’s a multitasking, you can do anything with it. Keep in mind that many people can't abide the sound of bubbles bursting or gum-smacking, and it's extremely rude to make either of these sounds in public places.

The step goes thus:
Step 1:
Chew a fresh piece of bubble gum until you've worked it to softness. Push the gum around with your tongue so that you make many different shapes with it in your mouth. Keep your mouth closed at all times Use your teeth and roof of your mouth to pull and push the gum around as well.

Step 2:
Using your tongue, make a ball out of the gum using the roof of your mouth as a rolling area. Your mouth should remain closed and don’t make noise, some may not like it.
Bracing the edges of the ball with the back of your teeth and gums, gently push the middle of the ball with your tongue so it makes a small patty-like form as if you were rolling dough If you need to, help flatten the ball into a patty against the roof of your mouth.

Step 3:
Transfer the gum back to behind the front teeth. Brace the edges of the gum patty against your gums and top and bottom front teeth. Now push, with your tongue, further through the patty until a very thin layer of gum covers your tongue. Withdrawal your tongue out of the layer.

Step 4:
Blow in air, preferably not with your mouth but lunges...

Hooray! You blew a bubble! But may not be in first few attempts.. Repeat many times until you lose interest..I am sure if you enjoy it, you will not lose your interest soon, and its awesome, when the bubble is not broken you take it in again...

Keep in mind that absolutely no hands are allowed at any time in the process. It's strictly tongue-in-cheek.

Step 5


Dispose of your used gum properly. Don’t put it here and there, return it to its wrapper and throw it away.

Step 6

Cleanup
Gum that came from a bubble tends to be the worst to clean, because of its thin and extremely clingy nature. But don’t worry, it can be cleaned.
• From the carpet, try hardening it with an ice cube and then scraping out the gum with a dull knife. After most of it's out, try a warm, wet sponge and a very small drop of dishwashing liquid to gently rub at it in a circular motion.
• From hair work in a little peanut butter or cooking oil and comb it out with a fine-toothed comb.

This ought to be dedicated to my traineer...

So why delay, start enjoying the bubbling experience now…..Undoubtedly, I am going to cherish it!!! What about you?

Forbidden Broadway

For me it was the first experience of viewing, though had read a lot about it, and it was daunting and awesome! Had some difficulty in understanding how and the what of the first half, though was enjoying, and by the time, it got over was fully into it!!! It was a musical number, for two hours, 3pm to 5pm, divided into two parts, named ‘Forbidden Broadway’. Good did not cancel it, as was not very much interested in the beginning…



The time and speed and the way, the cast changed their dresses and the kind was incredible!!




It was basically a ‘paradey’ of many well known plays and songs namely: Intoduction, Chicago, Sondheim, Carol channing in Hello Dolly, Chita/Rita, Audition Sequence, Wicked, Gypsy, Mandy Patinkin, Les Miz in the first part, and



The Phantom/Merman, Mamma Mia, Rent, Liza, Spamalot, Cats: Memory I enjoy being.., Fiddler, Les Miz, My Favourate Things from Cameron mackintosh as My Souvnir Things, back to Broadway, Hairspray, A chorus line, what I did for love, and Tata….



There were some thought provoking things like, why do people have ambitions? Its either because of rejection, for projection, or because of complexion or for attention…then, the use of phone these days, diamonds are girls best friend…every now and then there were laughter and claps echoing the hall…



The cast were 3 Male and Female, namely, Bredan Foley, Kevin Pollack, Jon Landvick, Heather Miller, Katie Siri and Amy Malouf, who play various characters, young old, animals and others…. It is created and written by Gerard Alessandrini, Directed by Ty Perry, Musical Direction by Michael Frain; Designed and Produced by J. Spencer Greene at Cutting Hall, Performing Arts Center 150 E, Wood Street, Palatine, IL.



Indeed special Thanks need to be given to Sajeev, and guess also to Tom Brauer…



Had woken up late, called home, had homely breakfast, and set off for shopping to Macys, with Thara driving….Moved around the residence as it is in Lake Bluff which is located in the North Shore area, near Waukegan, which is also the name of one of the oldest communities in Illinois, you find small lakes in and around. Then, left for the Gut-bustingly funny, forbidden pleasure show… After that again some window shopping, saw many places on the way, including both of their offices, another airport, and finally back home, was preparing cakes and nankata (Indian Cookies) which turned out to be Nakris(Nankata+Cookies). The rum cake, that Sajeev prepared before I reached was scrumptious, ..… cut the cake we made today, on 31st, with CGA transition team...at Homewood Suites..



Flight was at 7:40 am, and the airport was at a distance of one hour drive, so left home at 5:40. Radio news forecasted the weather to be not very good…rainy. Had to contact the United airlines representative for the ticket, as I could not get it outright from the machine and for it there was a big queue. Then the bag was held back at the security check, and they kept on rechecking it with small tissue paper like thing, 3-4 times, might be because of things like harddrive and iPod. By the time I reached the point of entry, I saw the door closed and the plain was standing there, I thought I had almost missed it as it was already 7:35…But nope…due to some problem in the emergency light, flight was delayed which was informed only at 7:40…till then, I was with my figures crossed.



I was relived that I had not missed the flight. Purchased Tropicana juice from a lady, nearby, who happened to be a Gujarathi, spoke to her for some time, and there was a homely smile on her face on hearing native word ‘Avjoo’ in a foreign land. Then kept reading ‘Who will cry when you die’ by Robin Sharma while listening to the songs from Jab we met, from the pendrive like, Philips audio….



The flight took off after an hour and half…Then listened to Company Law notes by Jayaram Sir…At Connecticut airport, went to the shop, which I had been admiring since the day of entry…Then took a prepaid taxi to the hotel, thus brining an end to an unbelievable and timely visit, which am sure we will cherish for long:) Wishing and praying that the almighty keep her healthy, wealthy and fine...always...and the frequent consultion to doctor ends soon....Indeed would like to Thank almighty, a ton for this opportunity...

The Chicago Visit….

It was exactly a month, after landing US,Windsor Locks Bradley International Airport, on Friday 20th March 09, I got a drive to the Hartford/Springfield/Windsor Locks Bradley International Airport, not a big one. Indeed a great drive it was. There are may people who can do things, but very few have the heart to do it, and it does makes a difference….

From here I boarded the flight to Chicago O'Hare International Airport at 4.40 (EDT) pm, which took off at 5:15pm. And though it was to reach the airport at 7:04 (CDT: One hour behind) pm in Chicago as per the itinerary, the plane landed the airport at 6:05 pm.

There were big hoardings everywhere in the airport, 'Chicago: 2016 Olympic Candidate welcomes you'...As we drove towards Lake Bluff, where they stay, Sajeev said that O'Hare was the name of the Lake around which the airport was build...It was a very big airport....so was the parking area in number of floors..


Had never in my wildest dream expected to be to their residence.....on the other side of the globe....There was with them her colleague and friend, Naveen from Hyderabad. Had homely vegetarian food prepared by her, spoke for long, and they were watching the US English movie of 2002, Adaptation based on Susan Orlean's book The Orchid Thief, directed by Spike Jonze and written by Charlie Kaufman.Guess its an (auto)biographical movie, of two brothers, and the author.....

Me because of a duck's cold, and Friday Mania, went off to sleep when the movie was half way through…

And next day, was the visit to one of the worlds greatest city, known as the windy city, not because it is really windy but because of the Politicians.


As the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the Americas approached, many cities wanted to host the World's Fair, also known as the World's Columbian Exposition, after eight ballots, Chicago won it, leaving behind cities like New York, and Washington...New Yorkers were very angry, and started calling them by the name windy city.

After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed a third of the city, including the entire central business district, Chicago experienced rapid rebuilding and growth and build the first skyscraper in the world. The history of skyscrapers in Chicago began with the 1885 completion of the Home Insurance Building, which is often regarded as the first steel-framed skyscraper in the world. The building was originally constructed with a height of 138 feet (42 m) and 10 stories, and was later expanded to a height of 180 feet (55 m) and 12 stories before being demolished in 1931. It was near the Castle shape building….



Undoubtedly: ‘Chicago builds itself up…Knocks down, scrapes away the rubble and starts over….’

The journey began with the millennium park, with its beautiful landscape, the latest attraction created in 2004, with the shell shaped, Kapoor sculpture,

inspired by the liquid mercury, stainlessly reflecting the entire surroundings, both land and sky....alike...the cloud gate of Chicago..


To add to the attraction here was the free hugs by men and women...

Walking which was after a month, and through the down town, we passed through the Chicago river


which though not especially long, is notable for the 19th century civil engineering feats that directed its flow south, away from Lake Michigan, into which it previously emptied, and towards the Mississippi River basin.

On the crowded streets, there were people singing and collecting money, people with coat begging…



As you approach the down town you will find tall wall like buildings, and three of them equidistant and almost the same size, they being,
The Sears Tower, at 108 stories, stands as Chicago's tallest building since its completion in 1974 and is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.
The second- and third-tallest buildings in Chicago are the Aon Center and
The John Hancock Center with 100 floors, respectively.

Then we had lunch below the John Hancock Observatory…the way people smiled while taking photographs, and how soon the smile vanished was really astonishing…and the elevator within 40 seconds took us to the 94th floor observation deck where in was displayed exhibits about the city of Chicago.
Maps explaining the view in each direction…


And the live view:


To the South of the City there is part of Lake Michigan, ….Blue and lovely…..the navy pyre, amusement park, world fair place,

tall buildings..including the Sears Tower..


To the west are the big buildings, sports grounds, restaurants, Pizza originated here in 1943,


To the north is the Lake shore drive, restaurant of boat shape, with bathing suites, and the buildings….



To the east is the Lake of Michigan, 80 miles, away is the state of Michigan. Beautiful view….indeed…

The photo taken below, cost 22$, and they give it with the background of Chicago at various hours....

It seems there are people who climb the stairs and reach 100 floors, in half an hour….!!!

There it is written:
‘Butterflies in your stomach,
Tingling in your spine,
Raising your hair,
The view is sensational’

Come Kiss the sky….



Though The John is not the tallest building, the view from here is said to be the best.

We walked along the road side and on the beaches of the lake shore,


By the grace of God, the weather that day was pleasant..….

Before returning, we did some window shopping, and then to the parking area, which is a very huge one, like a multistoried auditorium, or even bigger…I don’t know…indeed vast place….!! Difficult to find the floor where the vehicle is parked….

Chicago: “As you are so are your buildings, and as are your buildings, so are you”.

Great pleasure, and opportunity it was…Thanks to all who made it happen….


Even the night view while returning was mismerising....

Well that was the end of day one, and there was yet one more day...in the state of Illinois, with Chicago in the northeast having 66% of its population, small industrial cities and great agricultural productivity in central and western Illinois, and natural resources timber, and petroleum in the south, is often viewed as a microcosm of the United States.

Lesson:
“Make no little plans, they have no magic to stir men’s blood, make big plans, a noble logical diagram once recorded will never die, but will be a living thing…”

Mindset of Sons of Sahyas...

One of my fiends said, if a dog is born, it should be in US, for they are loved here so much!!! Away from home, when you see, so beautiful and variety of dogs around, you are reminded of elephants …..In Kerala, when you are travelling, you will definitely see at least one elephant on the road...

Elephants in Kerala are often referred to as the 'sons of the sahya.' Western Ghats (Sahyadri) Sahya mountains Range. It is the state animal of Kerala and is featured on the emblem of the Government of Kerala.




Thrissur being the cultural capital of India, Thrissur Pooram, is an especial events full of elephants, on which I need to write..but may be some other time…







The temple elephants are decorated with gold plated caparisons (nettipattom), bells, and necklaces. People mounted on the elephants hold tinselled silk parasols (muthukuda) up high, swaying white tufts (venchamaram) and peacock feather fans (aalavattom) to the rhythm of the orchestra. People looking after the elephants are called mahout (Pappan).



Guruvayurappan, is said to be the owner of the world's largest number of domesticated elephants. The world's only Elephant Palace is constructed in Punnathur Kotta, 3 km from the temple, to house the temple's elephants.

Gajarajan Guruvayoor Kesavan (1904 - December 2, 1976) is perhaps the most famous and celebrated Elephant of Kerala.


Elephants have been important in human history for thousands of years. They were popular royal gifts. Appu was the mascot of Asiad in India, and we had Ammu in Veegaland…Young and Old, all love elephants alike...



Shown each part of it, one may not be able to identify, that its an animal, so huge, but its not wild….




Well this is dedicated to Anil;Guess who is his favourate…..whose picture will you find in his laptop and camera?? Asin? Aishwaria Rai? Nain Tara? Nope….None of them…..

It’s full of elephants…..

And it is from him, that I got all these pictures, they are taken by him. And its he who prompted me to write this one...




Why do people love elephants so much?
