Where Is ROMANCE?

Poet Kalidas wrote Meghadhutham -A story of a couple who live separated because of the husband being a sailor and his wife sends her expressions of passion,love and suffering through the clouds which pass through the sky imagining that they would convey her messages to her love.

Hearing to these stories may end you up with droopy  eye lids sounding like the next Cheran's movie.But these days even the big budget movies forget to add romance in its scripts.Take movies like Shivaji,Billa,Villu and even the latest Aadhavan , I still don't remember what was the strong reason to make the hero and heroin fall in love.The last movie I remember that expressed romance was Mani Rathnam's "Roja''.

Chennai during the 70's and 80's was like the lovely Paris where romance was expressed as poetry written on notebooks, thrills of impressing the lovers , long time spent in front of girls colleges to see that one special face, waiting the whole night to see that face at dawn,getting assaulted to the vicious brothers and fathers.

I had  a friend who once  told me that she was proposed on a Post It.Its become common these days to propose through SMS,Emails,phone calls and Archies Cards.But Sweetheart ,"Where is the Human Element?".Is  this new life style slowly making us forget the beauty of Romance.

Ok.. When was the last time you wrote a love letter to your loved ones?In this rate we might turn into robots like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator in the near future.But who can blame us where most of us are hooked up with finding a job,finding a better job,making an investment,attending interviews,running to achieve targets ,deadlines,gyming and starving to fit into a sexy outfit,visiting the doctor for hair fall and dandruff.

One cant say that love is out of stock in the City but ROMANCE ..... Nope....Not happening....The next time you think of your loved one Do something Romantic....

Send him a hand written copy of a song which recently attracted you  , cook for him his favorite food  ,.enroll a duel dance workshop on the weekends , hold her hand while strolling on the beach sand and what not......

If you still need inspiration ask mom and dad about what they did so romantic in their life .My parents still have the copies of the love letters they exchanges and don't forget to listen to Ilayaraja's Hits in the 70's and 80's....
Happy Romancing...

Welcome To All Of You......20's CLUB

Like any other Monday morning  the sun had no pity on the chennaiites and their complexion. Well half of us don't remember how it shines sitting in  cushioned seats in front of the computer and the A.C so chill making you visit the rest room quite often.The other half of us are on wheels heading towards voluminous tasks to be completed and to add getting cooked under a neatly tucked full arm shirt.But have we ever realized that  we are more in number than the other age groups.We are the active ones of this city .Motile but not futile.No wonder the Besent Nagar Beach and City Centre gets filled up so quickly on the week ends.

Being a part of the larger group is a fortune and some time may give you a nightmare.Speaking about the PRO'S we have a lot of choices available for both men and women in 20's .Long legs , straight hair , sharp nose ,  curvy figure , muscled arms,smoking, non-smoking, doping, non doping,conservative,party animals,nerds,geeks,dorks...and the list goes on.You name the kind ,its on the menu.

The disadvantage is simply one thing COMPETITION.There is always another guy to take your girl ,another girl to snatch your job offer.But still life goes on with hope , mp3 players ,little boos , weekend movies and nil result producing diet chats.I welcome you all to the blog that belongs to You.If you are in the 20's and belong to chennai you are closer than any one to this Blog-ME & THE METRO.Join the club,its quite big and Remember  ... YOU  ARE  NOT ALONE.
