Actors with real life objects and events.

Firstly this is my opinion, so hate all you want.

Aatharva- A new item in Market. Need more Products to know its real quality.

Bharath- He is like a pencil, we don't love the pencil or hate it even. But we use from time to time. Sometimes just to scribble gibberish and sometimes to draw beautiful diagrams. Unused.

Simbu- He is like a bitter gourd. Most of the times its bad and we hate it but at times when the cook or maker is good, we get delicious dishes. Though it’s mostly bad dishes.

Siva Karthikeyan- We can compare him to Maggi. Maggi is good, though not that good. We love Maggi but there are lots of dishes that we can prefer than Maggi. Okay Enough.

Vishal: Now this is a Pen drive. Very useful and Very handy, but due to its users it gets all kind of virus, malware etc. etc. Totally used based.

Arya- Arya is a Fountain pen. Filled with stuff that is messy, but when implemented properly can be used to make a great impression. Inky.

Karthi- I would compare Him to a 2G network. Very bad and very good. Need more Signal to work well. Satisfying though.

Vijay Sethupathi- He is a Very famous android app. Very good to use. Very user friendly and easy to use. But few glitches and bugs. Will be straightened over time.

Dhanush- Dhanush is a Good dress set. He can be a Tuxedo, a jeans and T-shirt, a Formal set and even lungi and inner vest. But very useful for the appropriate place. Though sometimes get worn at inappropriate places. Contextual use needed.

Surya- Surya is your phone. You love your phone, you wouldn't want it to go. It works hard for you, and makes your life a bit happier. But sometimes goes slow or hangs at times. Probably due to overuse. Handle with care.

Vijay- Vijay is your Bike. Stylish with usefulness. But Petrol and maintenance takes its toll. All your friends have different opinions on it but everyone likes it. Ride on.

Ajith- Ajith is Wikipedia. Came up on its own. Loved by everyone hated by few (though silently praised). Simple and pleasant to use. No comments.

Vikram- Your computer. Has been devoting its life to you. Lives for your good. Can be made to do anything with its power. Sometimes works over its capacity. Though its occasional flaws don't matter. Should be favorite.

Kamal Hassan- The only person who can be compared to two objects. First to a really well written book. You don't get what the book says in the first read. But every time you read you'll explore a new world. And next to a Rubik cube. Fun to play with though tough to understand and learn at the beginning. Once learned. Every time you solve is a challenge.

Rajinikanth- Now he is nothing but Diwali. Diwali is fun every year constantly. You wait for Diwali from months before and relish it when it comes. Though there might be some crackers that don't burst. It is always a hell load of fun. Only thing sad about it is it comes once in a year. Fun and Frolic Guaranteed.

~hope I didn't leave anybody.

The Twinst-2

Yin was in tears after she read the letter, though it wasn't as traumatising as the events that occurred 5 days ago. It hit her pretty hard.

Her parents weren't what'd you'd consider normal. Sure they were high school sweethearts and almost eloped, but they were the best parents anyone could ever get. They would play videogames with them, drink with them, and even arrange random dates with their boyfriend and girlfriends. The loved them what ever they did.
But their blood ran cold when they found their parents hung upside in their garage.

The biopsy report read:
"The Juh's household Homicide case
Both Wu Ting Juh and Chen Zhao Juh Were victims of homicide on 25-october 2014.
Time of death is around 11.33 p.m CST for Chen Juh and around 12 a.m for Wu Juh.
The mother (Wu Juh) endured the murderous torture longer than the father(Chen Juh).
Both of them were Cut rather surgically incisioned in various places on their body but strangely the incisions were stitched up. They were beat up badly while hung upside down.
The motive of  this action is unknown but it proved fatal to the couple.
Another strange event was that they were drugged  with an unknown chemical agent after the torture.
Drugging them after the torture doesn't make any sense and the lab technicians are working to find out why....
."
The report read so on.

When Yin and Yang had returned from the Doctor after a mystery attacker had hit Yang in his head while they were walking home back from school. Though Yin was unharmed, Yang was bludgeoned at the back of his head by an unknown attacker on a bike. They Visited their Family doctor and God-parent, Heilen DeCruz, but they learned from her P.A. that she had already left to India today morning. With first aid done to Yang they went home to witness the slaughter.
Yang fainted on Yin's shoulder.

Yin was scared to death, but being the bold girl she was called in the police and ambulance. she searched the house for missing stuff but there was nothing specifically missing. It seemed as if they had come just to kill.
There was no strong evidence to denote the killer and but it is said that two of them were there.

Heilen came back from India that night and she tried to console them, in vain. She said she had to leave to India tomorrow for an emergency case, though she tried cancelling the appointment, Yin felt that she better go and attend the case for it might be another children praying for his or her parent.
Heilen left the next day first flight.

'It was 2 a.m, early morning or night if you wish, She did not hear any sound, but she wished she did. Usually around this time she would hear her dad carpenting in his workshop and his mom playing playstation rather very loud with her. But there was only dead silence. The silence of her parents being dead She was also plagued by another issue, but she thought its best not to think about him now.'


2 days later.
There was no word from Heilen nor they were able to reach her. Yang seemed away from all of the world happenings, she knew he was moody and cloudy always but he seemed aloof now. like he was blank. Heilen had said she'd take care of the psych eval of Yang after his head bump.

She knew they had made a mistake. Yin knew they musn't have ignored the repeated threats in the form of beheaded  and skinned pets and dogs.

A week prior to their parent's death their pug limbo was found skinned on their porch. Yin's parents came in running after they heard her scream so loud. It took them an hour to console the twins. But it was not the twins they were worried about.

And few days after that Yin slipped over a pool of half-dried blood from a beheaded goat carcass.
Her trauma increased exponentially when the saw all 15 of their cattle and pets slaughtered and disfigured in her barn. The police and the media channels buzzed about it for two days.
The Juh's household was in dismay. No one spoke in the home and all were shaken up badly by the sudden events that had transpired in the past week.

A day Later Wu and Chen were found hung upside down by Yin and Yang.
Flash news read "Father and mother of Three were killed in a bizzare murder yesterday night.
It is said that there is a possible link between the homicide and pet massacre from the week before...
almost a week ago the was a mass killing of pets and cattle in the Juh household. Around 15 pet animals and cattle were killed and beheaded by a unknown killer. They were later moved to...*static*"

The police filed in a case and linked it with the cattle massacre.
The whole town talked abut the Juh's.

But what baffled the townspeople was the Missing third Child, Yo.
The Youngest of the triplets, the unjoined triplet.

~Final Part 3 to continue.

The Twinst-1

"almost *static* ago the was a mass *static**static* in the Juh household. Around 15 pet *static* *static* *static* and moved to * static*..."
Yang woke up with a shudder and found himself on his bed sweating profusely. He switched off the annoying old TV. The dream he just had was very vivid and detailed, and gory. He was thankful that he did not wet his pants.

'He had a knife, like none he had seen in his life, it was long and slender and very sharp, it had already made an incision in his thumb when he touched the blade.
He lifted something, something alive. It was a dog, a small pug and it looked familiar. Suddenly he realized that he was not in full control of his body.He felt as if someone was controlling him, as if someone was handling him.

He lifted the dog up by its collar violently, it whimpering with fear, and made a small but deep incision on its neck. His heart stopped. The dog yelped and thrashed about in his hand. He tried his best to take over his body again but in vain. The dog bled slowly and fell unconscious. His hands made minute but accurate cuts on the neck and he Skinned the dog.
He saw himself walking towards somewhere. He walked for around 10 minutes and he dropped the skinned pug on a house's porch.'

His alarm buzzed 5 a.m. and woke him up. Groggily he stood up from his bed
He heard a thud from his front door. When he found a skinned dog. It was his pug, Limbo.
Fractions later a guttural scream echoed through the halls of his house.

After the exhausting day,Yang went to bed and fell asleep almost instantly. The dream came back.

'This time he was in a barn. The were lot of cows and horses. and then there was this small goat.
It stood as if it was waiting for something. Yang knew that something horrible was going to happen again. Something horrible by his hands yet uncontrollable. This time around he took out something that looked like a saw, a saw sharper, thinner and stronger than the usual saws.

As expected he took that small goat on his lap. It was bleating slowly but calmly. it was as if the goat knew him beforehand. as if it was his pet. Now the control over him was stronger. He felt as if his hands were being forced to work. Yang's heart screamed silently when he pierced the goat's belly with the saw. The goat was in mortal pain. its bleating faded after he broke its neck forcefully.

He cut the young goat's head and threw it away. He dragged the beheaded body and entered the same compound he entered in yesterday's dream.'

He woke up again at the 5 a.m. alarm buzz.
He slowly opened his front door but nothing was found. Thankfully, he retreated into his kitchen and took the garbage opened the backdoor. He slipped over something and fell on the hard ground. There was a pool of half-dried blood from a beheaded goat carcass.



Another scream was heard 2 blocks away.'

Yang did not wake up completely, he lay there still with his eyes closed, images of the dream were lucid but faded away soon. He hesitantly pulled himself up from the bed and he heard his door bell ring. He did not feel like attending the door, but a force dominated him and seemed to make  him work. The ringing had stopped but he found a letter below the door.

It was from his family doctor and god-parent Ms.Heilen.
"Dear Yin,
I hope you guys are fine, I hope you guys are dealing the loss of your parents good. I wish I was there with you people.
How are you managing yourself? Are you eating well?
Your brother's psych and bio report came in from the lab.
 It says that he hit his head over a hard object. What actually happened that day? Are you hiding something from me?
It says that he is suffering from a very rare condition.
Added to his somnambulism he also has 'Ultamnesia'.
Though this might kind a bit crazy,  your brother cannot register current memory for atleast 8 days though he will react he won't remember.
It doesn't mean he is fully amnesiac but His mind doesn't make memories for a week or so.
This has been in research for a long time but no absolute cure is found yet, this can go off anytime.
But it appears that you do not suffer anything harm from his injury with you Both being Con-joined twins.
Concentrate on your academics since its your final year and you have to start your practice by next year. Hoping Yang is doing well.
I always wish the best for you three and hope to be with you soon.
with love,
Heilen."

The Late Review -Jigarthanda

First Let me get Straight to the point.
This Movie is really great.

GO get the tickets.
But oh. it is late. Download it. It is really really good.
A class apart from your classic movies.

And this post is full of spoilers.

For every movie, the spine would be its story. Where the characters revolve around the plot, which is entwined by the music and the direction. The direction includes every aspect of the film technically, like the cinematography, the  lighting, the effects, the set etc etc.

Now a Great movie would satisfy those above three lines properly. And that movie is your Jigathanda.

Jigarthanda starts with an aspiring young director, promptly named Karthik Subbramani, who is given the task of directing a bloody and gory Gangster movie. So to write this story he searches for real life gangsters. With his sources he finds one such named Sethu in the all-famed Madurai. How the director gets the information and how he falls into his own doing is the movie's gist.
The female lead Kayal (Lakshmi Menon) serves as the necessary evil and love in the movie.

The portrayal of Bobby Simha as Assault Sethu is done in a way you'd not expect him to be.
As an actor He is relatively new to us but as this Sethu Character he has already established himself very much.

This movie is laden with plot twist classic cult moments you expect from a Gangster flick.
But one thing this movie has unlike other gangster flick is its Unique way of Plagiarism or adaptation.
I feel that this movie had the style of Sergio leone or Quentin Tarantino in filmography and music.
Especially the interval scene and the music preceding it, though it was stunning, looked like something out from a Tarantino movie.

But it was enticing to see someone use those tricks in South Indian cinemas rather than copying a whole film for no good.
The Music by Santhosh Narayan is Ecstatic and rebellious. the background score for Sethu is done perfectly and in an unconventional manner.

Karunakaran as Karthik's friend has done his role excellently and how it was expected from him.
The uncanny appearance of Vijay sethupathy is Sleek and surprising.
Anthe support characters have done superbly well with a special mention about Guru Somasundharam as the Acting Trainer.
This movie has some of those dialogues which would stand out for years to come.
The betrayal of a goon, the deaths, the music, the transformation of the Sethu, is all overwhelming as the movie ends.
You'd really want another movie like this.

Can we expect more quality films like these from Karthik Subbaraj in future?
Lets hope.

Assassin's Creed Series -The Late review.

( Reviewed Till present game)
Okay I write this after playing every possible game and DLC known to me, and available for PC for almost 2 months. Multiplayer excluded, Since pirated.
Firstly, I played the whole series Chronologically and Read in a few comics, reviews, watched 3 movies to fill in the gaps left by the Game's story line.
The whole Story of the Assassin's Creed Series inside the animus Happens roughly over 700 years ranging from 12th century to the 18th century. The in-animus and ex-animus Story is almost always about the Assassins vs Templar war, with scenario respective to its time period.
There are 6 Main games in total available for pc and a HD port from PS vita.
Though the Assassin's always seem to win every single time, theoretically or practically or psychologically or physically, the Templars seem to come back from the grave even Stronger and more Powerful than last time.
Right from the first game, comics and movies its always about Assassins killing the Templars and the Templars trying to erase out the Assassins. So This serves as your story line for all your games.
All games consist of two major parts -the present and the memories relived. For the first 5 games the present day protagonist is a Desmond Miles who supposedly has Assassin and Templar ancestors and relives them by means of the Animus - a machine which decodes ancestor's memories from his DNA. He fights against present day Templars who run the Abstergo industries
He relives the memory of three ancestor's namely Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (AC), Ezio Auditore da Firenze(AC II, AC:BR, AC:R) and Ratonhnhaké:ton or Connor Kenway(AC III).
Now lets not ponder into the stories of these legends. Desmond, by reliving their memories, finds artifacts called 'Pieces of eden' using the Guidance from the first civilization to prevent earth's destruction on 21-12-2012(I know).
Now, The first civilization flashes are annoying, irregular and doesn't give you a clue about themselves properly.
The HD port known as AC Liberation HD has the first female Assassin.
The Latest game, which is AC Black Flag explores life of Edward Kenway via animus memories.
Both Liberation HD and Black flag tread from the usual Desmond storyline and explore the memories via Abstergo entertainment.
The Games as a whole are a delight to play, and each game varies in its own way.
as a gamer I felt that there was more originality in the first Assassin's Creed and Assassin's creed III. Though some of you would beg to differ these games changed the way Stealth, open world and AC games were played.
The original AC game you the freedom to execute your target where ever you wanted unlike every other scripted assassinations in other AC games.
Altair is the most skillful assassin in the creed makes a mistake and is stripped of his weapons and ranks as he becomes the Master assassin of the creed, he finds the apple of eden and hides it later in life.
The Renaissance Trilogy Showed you the life of Charismatic and Daring Ezio Auditore with new innovations and vehicles.
Ezio with his Power of influence and skills remade Italy into a beautiful and safe place from the templars.
There are a lot of Historically important characters in these games and you also Have Leonardo DaVinci.
Almost all the set pieces were fun and challenging The Double blade was a killer and bombs were fun.
The games were full of new innovations which were being tested upon innocent players. but some of them like the hook blade were really good.
The trilogy Gave a powerful story when it lacked in gameplay.
As a whole the Best game in the trio was definitely AC II with its Solid story and Innovative gameplay.
In Assassin's Creed III you play as an American Native During the civil unrest in Americas, you are a common enemy for both loyalists and patriots though you help both at times. again you relive the memories to find an artifact to get to the final solution to save the earth in present day.
The game is surprisingly good looking with eye popping changes in Graphics, and fair changes in gameplay, with naval Battles
Though the story is weak, the ending in present day is satisfying and twisted.
There is not much to say about the PC port .i.e. Liberation HD. It serves as a link between AC III and AC Black Flag via Aveline de Grandpre. Aveline is the first and only female AC character till now.
Black Flag. This possibly might be the most fun game and gripping game in the AC series. but it did lack the punch in the storyline. The game drops you into the beautiful Caribbean sea and its bootyful glory.
The game takes a detour from usual Assassins vs. Templars concept.
Edward Kenway, the grandfather of Connor is more of a Pirate than an Assassin.There are Epic Naval battles, which is a major attraction to the game. There is not much to do or learn in the present day part of the game which is in first person view.
From the series as a whole My favorite was AC II.
And the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Unity happening during the french revolution Lets hope a Better and stealthier Assassin's Creed From Arno Dorian.
I take leave as I wish to return to the High Caribbean
~Comments are welcome.

Fraction.

"Just throw the bait and wait son, he will come to you", Stein remembered his father’s words from the fishing day festival.
He was slowly able to flex and move, he worked his muscles at full strength and started running at Isaac. He swiftly picked up the sharp piece of glass that was floating and jumped at Isaac, fractions later,
The next time wave hit them.
An hour earlier...
"How did he manage to set it off?!” Stein wracked his brain over and over, he went over every possibility of how it could happen and how Isaac would try to escape its consequences.

He knew there was only one possibility for all this to happen. He must have embedded a quantum Chip to his brain like himself. The Quantum chip enables the user to use the brain normally even when time has slowed or speeded up.
This chip enables brain to become a quantum computer, i.e. work or rather think outside the time-space fabric.
"He must be puzzle how I managed to detonate the CHRONO BOMB.", Isaac mentally appreciated himself for what he had done.
Though it was a suicide mission of stealing Stein's Blueprints for the quantum chip, it was a 99.9% possibility of death remodeling it for himself.
The feeling of realizing that they were the only people who were surviving the Time-Space Disruption caused by the bomb, must have given him goose bumps if the time had not slowed down.

He knew it was mere survival, because he knew he had to make his move before the next wave hit them or else he would be slowed down again quicker since every time the wave hit them, the time or distance between the waves would decrease exponentially thus making it even difficult for them to react when time flows normally.
Stein immediately regretted creating the quantum chip and the "The Literal Time bomb", as they called it at the lab. Stein knew that a radius of 5 miles was caught in the Time-Space disruption.
"The quantum chip is your amulet to make yourself all powerful god and the Time bomb is your super weapon, Stein, pray it doesn't fall into wrong hands", words of Nikol echoed in his mind. she was his Lab partner and Partner in life.

He was previously slowed on his way towards the direction of the bomb by the wave that hit him, but thankfully the quantum chip that is embedded in his brain allowed him to stay outside of the Time-Space Fabric. He had won his Nobel Prize for this discovery.
Time began to return to its normal state slowly.

Isaac was slowly able to see things, he had only one thought "I must get out of this place and as far as possible to escape from the Permanent Time collapse". But of course he knew it was not going to be easy with Stein on his tail. He moved as fast as he could towards his door. He waded through the rubble that was still floating from the time disruption.

Stein ran as fast as he could with all his might, and he spotted him, "Stop right there Isaac! I will eventually catch up to you".

Isaac have a mild laugh and retorted, “Don’t you still realize that I also have my own version of your quantum chip?".
"How did they even give this guy a Nobel Prize?” Isaac rolled his eyes.
"You were never bright in school either Stein".
He raised his gun and shot at Stein, the first one missed him by an inch and the second one slowed down before it could reach Stein's face.
The next wave had hit them. It was sooner that they thought.

If it was not for the disruption he would have had a hole in his head right now. Stein ironically thanked for the time wave that had hit now.

"Damn, I have crappy aim!” thought Isaac to himself.

Stein took in the picture and he knew that bullet would stay there long if he doesn't move next time.
His brain was working rapidly and he was calculating every scenery possible for the next few moments

Isaac was hoping that the bullet would hit him. Time began to unreel slowly, but faster this time.

In a Matrix-Special-effects style movement Stein had thought up a scene of evading the bullet, but he knew it would impede his further movement.
He Slyly Tilted his head and let the bullet slowly accelerate beside him. Now he moved rapidly towards the glass that was floating nearby.

Isaac was bewildered at the speed of Stein's movement. He had to escape.
The next wave had hit them even quicker than before.

The expressions of both Isaac and Stein was of pure shock.
It had dawned upon them that they had only one chance for them to escape or react.
After the next wave, the disruption would reach its saturation and they would be stuck in the time lapse infinitely.

It was beginning to return to normal. Stein forced his body to move opposing the time flow, every bit of his muscle was under strain and was screaming for release. He began moving with a burst of speed at the glass shard, he picked it up, and clutched it strongly. He now directed himself at Isaac who was surprised at his swiftness. With a shout of angst Stein jumped at Isaac "Isaaaaaccc!"
The Glass shard had made an incision on the skin directly above Isaac’s heart. Blood was slowly seeping out.
The Next wave hit them.

Fractions before...

A shot was heard. Tip of the bullet had already entered Stein's chest. The blood splashed and froze. The Next wave hit them

They were stuck in the Time Lapse.
But Fate had other plans. It always has.

Another wave hit them.

Both were surprised. Time began to reverse to the point before the bomb was set off.
Isaac had entered the safe room where the Chrono bomb was kept.
He used the fingerprints he stole from Stein's blueprints to set off the bomb.

The bomb ticked off and a voice played from the bomb, "Do not turn back if you want your face to be unharmed"
Stein landed a punch on his face, instantly breaking Isaac’s nose.
The police that had arrived there apprehended Isaac. "How is this possible?!” cried Isaac, stupefied.
"I love surprises, don't you dear Isaac?” said Stein with a smug.

Little did Isaac know that his version of quantum chip was not guarded against reverse time flow.
Stein had Improved his quantum chip after it was stolen which allowed his brain and memories to stay intact. The bomb was dismantled the pieces were destroyed carefully.

Stein did as his Father had advised him, “Just throw the bait and wait son, he will come to you".
