Toxic

In the past I have avoided many things just to have some peace of mind. This includes avoiding people as well. This habit of mine started long time ago and I find it's relevance increasing day by day. 

Everyone is wired differently, agreed, but some stands taken by people are highly irritating. Even if you beat a fool nothing will go into his head. So there is no way we can change the people. The only thing we can do is to change ourselves. 

But everyday my circle keeps reducing. I started avoiding Television, News paper, certain whatsapp groups and certain webites which I used to visit frequently. I am not there in facebook for the same reason. 

I am a Twitter addict. In Twitter we can follow only people who are like minded which is the best part of it. But somehow toxic news finds my timeline through some route. I do not want to get out of Twitter as well. It is going to be a test of my tolerance.

Pariyerum Perumal

There were lot of good reviews for this movie and this is the first movie I watched post my Amazon Prime subscription. I was actually disappointed as I didn't feel how the other reviewers felt.

From the time Tamil Cinema started we have seen love stories between low caste and upper caster girl and boy. Sometimes it will be religion sometimes economical differences. This movie also has this as the main story plot. The story didn't move cohesively I couldn't gel with the flow.

The movie has some really shocking moments. I agree to that but that alone cannot make a movie interesting.

Some filmmakers make violence look so good that you will enjoy it even through you know it is not possible in real life ex: Kill Bill. Some filmmakers don't do that and show violence as it is. Sometimes this can be interesting sometimes it can go blah. For some reason I felt Pariyerum fell into the not interesting category.

I also couldn't figure out why the old man did what he did in the last scene.

I don't know if this feeling is because I didn't watch it in one stretch. It took me four days to finish it.
