எந்திரன் – The Robot…… Chittis show… :)

இது வரை கண்டிடாத அளவுக்கு தமிழ் சினிமாவை ஒரு புது பரினமத்துக்கு எடுத்து சென்றுள்ளது…

The over hype given to the movie was no wrong.. except for the few things that could be avoided..

ஆர்ப்பாட்டமே இல்லாத superstar entry… A simplest intro for superstar so far in all his films.. ஆரம்பத்துல கொஞ்சம் slowa ஆரம்பிச்சாலும்.. எந்திரன் உருவானதும் படம் பார்க்கும் mood கிளம்புகிறது..the real film starts from the intro of endhiran to the world.. மொத்தம் படத்தில் ஏராளாமான ரஜினி.. ஆனால் முக்கியமான கதாபாத்திரங்கள் scientist vaseegaran and robot chitti.. வயதானாலும் ஐஸ்வர்யாவின் அழகு குறையவில்லை, இன்னும் ice உலக அழகிதான் என்று கூறினாலும் மிகை ஆகாது.. ஆனால் சில இடங்களில் இருவரின் வயதும் வெளி தெரிகிறது,ஆனால் அது தவிர்க்க முடியாது… நகைச்சுவைக்காக சந்தானம், கருணாசும் படத்தில் இருந்தாலும், chitti rajniyin நகைச்சுவை அருமை.. சிறு குழந்தைகளின் ரசனையை ஈர்க்கும்.. வசீகரன் chitti யை உருவாக்கின நோக்கம் india ராணுவத்துக்காக போர்புரிப்பதர்க்காக.. ஆனால் வசீகரனின் professor அந்த chittiyai நிராகரிக்கிறார்.. அதற்க்கு அவர் சொல்லும் காரணம் – சித்தியால் மனித உயிர்க்கு ஆபத்து.. ஒரு கட்டத்தில் வசீகரன் chittiyin மீது மனித உணர்சிகளை பதிக்கிறார்.. பின் அதன் விளைவு என்னவென்பதுதான் மீதி கதை…. தியேட்டர்ல பாருங்கா…

அமைதியாக உட்கார்ந்து படம் பார்பவரை கூட சில பல காட்சிகள் கைத்தட்ட வைக்கின்றது… குழந்தையின் deliveryai பார்க்கும் scene சூபர், mind blowing… கடைசி 20 நிமிடம் நம் இருக்கையின் நுனியில் உட்கார வைத்து ரசிக்க தோன்றுகிறது.. Great visual treat..

Kadhal anukkalin பாடல் காட்சிகள் அழகு என்று சொன்னால் மிகை ஆகாது.. Kilimanjaro கண்ணுக்கு கிளிற்சியாக உள்ளது… மற்ற பாடல்கள் நன்றாக இருந்தாலும் அதை தவிர்த்திருக்கலாம்..

ஒரு சில வேண்டாத காட்சிகள் – kalabavan mani ஐஸ்வர்யாவிடம் வம்பு செய்வது, chitti sana(aish) vukkaaga kosu pudippadhu.. இந்த காட்சி பெரியவர்களால் ரசிக்க முடியாவிட்டாலும் சிறு குழந்தைகளை கவர் வதற்காக சேர்க்க பட்டுள்ளது என்று கூறலாம்…

ரஜினி படம் என்று செல்லும் அனைவருக்கும் ஏமாற்றமே தரும், இது முழுக்க ஷங்கரின் படம், அதில் ரஜினி அற்புதமாக நடித்துள்ளார்..

Superstar has prooved that there isnt no villian greater than him... that too d scene in which chitti finds vasee in his gang.. chance eh illaa.. adhukkagave palamurai paakkalaam...

நிறைகள் – Rajni, ARR – rerecording and songs, camera, visual effects, sound effects…

குறைகள் – சில இடங்களில் கொஞ்சம் இழுவை, பாடல்கள் (திடீரென்று பாடல்கள் முழிக்கின்றது)

மொத்தத்தில் எந்திரன் இந்த ஆண்டின் பிரம்மாண்டத்தின் உச்சம்.. Logicillaa magic…

Your belief window

We don’t see things as they are; we see things as we are. You may not be aware of this little-known but highly important part of your person that affects many of the decisions you make and how you behave in different situations. It is your Belief Window.

You cannot actually see your Belief Window because it’s invisible, but we all have one. It is figuratively attached to your head and hangs in front of your face. Every time you move, that window goes with you. You look at the world through it, and what you see is filtered back to you through it.

Your Belief Window is always there with you, filtering what you see - the oceans of data and information helping you make sense of the world around you. It influences the way you perceive others, the way you read situations, and the feelings you have about yourself.

The tricky thing about the Belief Window is that you have placed perceptions on it which you believe are absolutely true, whether they reflect reality or not. For example, your experiences and social feedback may have caused you to believe that you are smart, stupid, beautiful, ugly, competent, incompetent, creative, or dull - regardless of whether they are true. And because you believe them you unquestioningly act as though they are. That’s why changing our behavior is sometimes such a difficult task.

Until we realize that we view the world through our Belief Windows and that it constantly filters our experiences, we will continue to think that we see life “as it really is.”

One of the most important things we can do is to make sure our Belief Window is as clear as possible and truly reflects the reality. This may be the most difficult thing to do. You will probably have to swallow your pride, and admit that you do have a Belief Window that affects much of what you do, and recognize that some of the things you’ve placed on it are incorrect. In doing so, you will have achieved the critical first step in freeing yourself from erroneous self-ideas that may be impeding your progress.

Paradox of our time in history

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

Are we going to take some time to think where we are up to??

Our greatest enemy - Lust

In a certain place the fishermen were catching fish. A kite swooped down and snatched a fish. At the sight of the fish, about twenty crows chased the kite and made a great noise with their cawing.

Whichever way the kite flew with the fish, the crows followed it. The kite flew to the south and the crows followed it there. The kite flew to the north and still the crows followed after it. The kite went east and west, but with the same result. As the kite began to fly about in confusion, it tired itself out and let go of the fish in its mouth. The crows at once let the kite alone and flew after the fish. Thus relieved of its worries, the kite sat on the branch of a tree and thought, “That wretched fish was the root of all my troubles. I have now got rid of it and therefore I am at peace.”

As long as a man has the fish, that is, lusty desires, he must perform actions and consequently suffer from worry, anxiety and restlessness. No sooner does he renounce these lusty desires than his activities fall away and he enjoys peace of soul.

The kite cannot live without the fish, for it needs the fish to survive. But luckily for us, there is no compulsion. Lusty desires and suffering come bundled together in a take-it-or-leave-it package.

Think of what you have than what you want

One of the most pervasive and destructive mental tendencies I’ve seen is that of focusing on what we want instead of what we have. It doesn’t seem to make any difference how much we have; we just keep expanding our list of desires, which guarantees we will remain dissatisfied. The mindset that says “I’ll be happy when this desire is fulfilled” is the same mindset that will repeat itself once that desire is met.

We want this or that. If we don’t get what we want we keep thinking about all that we don’t have -- and we remain dissatisfied. If we do get what we want, we simply recreate the same thinking in our new circumstances. So, despite getting what we want, we still remain unhappy. Happiness can’t be found when we are yearning for new desires.

Luckily, there is a way to be happy. It involves changing the emphasis of our thinking from what we want to what we have.
Each time you notice yourself falling into the “I wish life were different” trap, back off and start over. Take a breath and remember all that you have to be grateful for. When you focus not on what you want, but on what you have, you end up getting more of what you want anyway.

Make a note to yourself to start thinking more about what you have than what you want. If you do, your life will start appearing much better than before.

A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires—that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still—can alone achieve peace, and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires.

More seriously you take your mistakes, the more you make them

Have you ever noticed that the more seriously you take your mistakes, the more you make them? And the more seriously you take your problems, the more you create them?

This is because your behavior follows your attention just as surely as baby puppies follow their mother. Wherever the bulk of your energy lies, your behavior is sure to follow. When your mind is full of confusing or conflicting details, mistakes, and problems, your attention is riveted in a negative direction. Thus, when you make a big deal out of something you have done wrong, you are actually setting the stage to repeat the mistake.

Mental energy is a very powerful and potentially useful tool. However, energy cuts both ways. If your energy is directed exclusively toward problems and concerns, that is what you will see and what you will tend to create.

If your energy is abundant, however, your mind will be in a more creative mode – searching for solutions, seeing opportunities, building on strengths. Your mind will be open to suggestions to new and better ways of doing things. You will have a winning attitude.

Learning to forgive

Kathy, a girl, became physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually ill by justifying her hatred towards her father. Her father reportedly abandoned the family - Kathy, her mother & six other children. While at home, he physically abused everyone and they were all terrified of him. None of them knew when he would lose his temper and turn violent.

Kathy was affected by chronic state of anger which caused lots of imbalances in her own life more than anyone else's. She would lash out at those nearby with only the slightest provocation like her father. Her actions cost Kathy heavily, ending up with strained, unhappy relationships and changing job after job.

Hatred and bitterness percolated to her physical levels and she suffered from headaches, stomach problems and eventually developed arthritis. By her twenty-fifth birthday Kathy looked middle aged. She would re-live the miseries of her past each day and cry out that 'he was a terrible person'.

She knew she would be better off if only she could learn to forgive her father, but she just couldn't do it, nor did she wanted anyone else to forgive him.

Kathy started the process of forgiveness. Lead by her inner guidance and persistent effort, tried to soften her emotions and change her thought patterns. Slowly she came to understand how her father could have acted so violently, she began to feel pity for him, then compassion and then love.

A person can move forward with a renewed sense of peace when there is no longer the burden of withheld forgiveness. When Kathy learned to forgive her father, she began to forgive and love herself. Her life transformed into a better one and her physical problems cleared up.

Your moods can be extremely deceptive

Your own moods can be extremely deceptive. They can, and probably do, trick you into believing your life is far worse than it really is.

When you’re in a good mood, life looks great. You have perspective, common sense, and wisdom. In good moods, thing don’t feel so hard, problems seem less formidable and easier to solve. When you’re in a good mood, relationships seem to flow and communication is easy. If you are criticized, you take it in stride.

On the contrary, when you’re in a bad mood, life looks unbearably serious and difficult. You have very little perspective. You take things personally and often misinterpret those around you, as you impute malignant motives into their actions.

Here’s the catch: People don’t realize their moods are always on the run. They think instead that their lives have suddenly become worse in the past day, or even the last hour.

Handling mistakes we make in life…

In every mistake there is the potential for growth. Inherent in every problem there is a solution. When you take the process too seriously, however, you interfere with your ability to see answers.

The next time you make a mistake, instead of dealing with it in your usual way, laugh at yourself instead. You will be surprised at how quickly and easily you are able to resolve the issue.

A decision to make light of your mistakes, to remain lighthearted, doesn’t mean you don’t care or that you’re not concerned with making an error. It simply means that you refuse to compound a problem by making a bigger deal out of something than is absolutely necessary. It means that you understand the value of keeping your perspective and sense of humor even in the face of adversity.

The fact is: The more seriously you take your mistakes, the more you make them. And the more seriously you take your problems, the more you create them. When you make a big deal out of something you have done wrong, you are actually setting the stage to repeat the mistake.

Keep your mind open to suggestions to new and better ways of doing things. Learn from the mistake and keep moving ahead in life.

Many times we do not ask – why we do what we do

Eight monkeys are put in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling. Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder; all the monkeys are sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable.

Sooner enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up. Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder.

One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the other monkeys are doing the obvious, but, undaunted, he immediately begins to climb the ladder. All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea why. However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder.

A second original monkey is removed and replaced. The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder, but all the other monkeys hammer the crap out of him. This includes the previous new monkey, who, grateful that he's not on the receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea why he's attacking the new monkey.

One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced.

Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed by ice water.

None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea why.

God is at work in our lives

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.

The worst had happened - everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger.

"God, how could you do this to me?" he cried.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.

"How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.

"We saw your smoke signal", they replied.

It's easy to get discouraged sometimes when things appear to be going badly. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.

Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

How to get good sleep?

1. Try relaxation & deep breathing exercises

Put things into perspective before you become upset or angry. Look into some relaxation techniques and deep breathing exercises.

2. Exercise regularly

Exercise increases heart and lung fitness while reducing stress, anxiety and insomnia. It also raises your endorphin levels -- the natural "mood elevators" produced by the brain. Endorphins reduce pain, relax muscles, and produce feelings of well being. As a result, sleep will be deeper and more restful. Even something as simple as brisk walking can have a positive effect, if done regularly.

3. Keep mentally stimulated

Boredom can actually keep you awake! If you’re physically and mentally active, you’re less likely to have poor sleep problem.

4. Eat properly

Limit your intake of fat and fried foods. Avoid eating a large or heavy meal within two to three hours of bedtime. While such a meal can make you feel drowsy at first, you’ll probably toss and turn during the night.

5. Take a warm bath before bed

Just before bedtime (1-2 hours before sleeping), take bath with warm water. This will send blood away from the brain to the skin surfaces, and make you feel relaxed and drowsy. Your body temperature, raised by the warm water, will soon drop if you have a moderately cool bedroom. This will initiate sleepiness and more deep sleep.

6. Establish a bedtime ritual

Establish a bedtime ritual. Read good books. Take your mind off the day’s busy-ness by venturing into the sublime thoughts.
