I am talking about the super hit Malayalam movie MAnichithrathazhu directed by Fazil in 1993. This is the brief summary of the movie.Husband and wife (Suresh Gopi and Shobhana) coming to a village to spend a vacation. They are planning to stay in husband’s old bungalow. So many superstitious incidents are related to the bungalow. Wife decides to open up a locked room, which is not supposed to be opened. So many unnatural events take place inside the palace. So many black magicians are coming to solve the problem. But the ghost is acquiring more power by each day. Then the husband’s best friend Dr. Sunny (Mohanlal) comes. He’s going through the issues and studying each people in the bungalow. This is the story behind the bungalow. The ancestor of this palace brought a dancer called Nagavalli from Thanjavoor, Tamil Nadu. She fell in love with Ramanathan, another dancer staying next to the bungalow. The Karanavar (eldest member of the family) became obsessed with her. When he knew about the affair, he killed both the dancers in the south facing room (thekkini in malayalam). But Nagavalli came back as a powerful vampire and tried to kill the Karanavar. He escaped somehow and with the help of many sorcerers trapped her spirit in the Thekkini. This is the room opened by our heroine.

With painful heart Dr. Sunny realizes that Ganga, his friend’s wife only showing this dual personality. Her childhood was with her grandmother who was a superstitious woman. She got some mental depression when her parents took her to the town from her lovely village. Her suppressed feelings and sympathy towards the killed lady Nagavally made her like this. Dr. Sunny is really skilled and tries to bring her back to normal life. And the Nagavally in Ganga announces that she will kill her husband on an auspicious day because she is seeing that old Karanavar in him. Nagavally promised the doctor that she will leave Ganga after this murder. With the help of a powerful sorcerer, Dr. Sunny makes some plans and on that auspicious day, they are doing some black-magic and a dummy of the husband is presenting in front of the wife turned Nagavally. She applies all her angry, agony and revenge on it and goes from Ganga’s body. After some hypnotism sections she becomes all right and all become happy.

Sobhana got National award for best heroine for her character Ganga in this movie. Nice melodious songs sung by Yesudas & K.S Chithra, the scene where Ganga gradually changes into Nagavalli and her Malayalam changing into pure Tamil, and the bharatanatyam dance sequence are the highlights of the movie. This movie made 15 years ago. I have seen it minimum 5 times. I never missed it when they shown it in cable channels. Whenever I am seeing this title in TV, it can easily glue me to the seat.

According to George W. Bush “The march of democracy will lead to world peace” and according to Leon Trotsky, a Marxist theorist, assumed that the world revolution would lead to a communist world peace. But I feel thinking about the uncertainty of your life will lead to peace. If you can find peace in you, then you can spread that peace to your family, society and at last to our whole world. All the wars and terrorism are the creation of some peace-less minds. And the cost we are paying for that is too much. So many innocent people are victims of some other people’s cruelty and entertainment. Some people are thinking that they are doing some “Holy War” – Jihad. Jihad is an Islamic term and is a religious duty of Muslims and the word meaning is “striving in the way of Allah”. It doesn’t mean to kill others to reach the top. All the recent happenings forced most of the people and officials around the globe to watch Muslims with suspected eyes. It is really painful. I don’t think that any of the spiritual books like Qur’an, Bible or Vedas want people to destroy fellow beings and make their stand safe. If you are ready to forgive, 99% problems will be solved. See the condition of Palestine and Israel. The common people are afraid to come out from their houses. Anytime bombs will fall on them. Kids can’t go to schools. I don’t know whether the condition has changed or not.

In my India also there are too many bomb blasting and terrorist attacks now a days. Many places are under the shadow of terrorist attack. Too many political issues also. I don’t like other country people only when they plays cricket against us. That’s the team spirit. Otherwise I love all.  Think about people in Africa and other poor countries. They are struggling for food and water. If the developed and war liking countries can save something by stopping the disputes and contribute that to these people… I know you also have some feeling for them at least the time when you see the forwarded mails explaining their life battle.  I don’t know what I can do to stop these wars, disputes, conflicts and poverty. Still my prayers are there. If you believe there’s a power over all these, no matter what you call that power, pray for the world peace.

I have only one thing to tell the terrorists and war lovers – Jiyo Aur Jeene Do (Live and Let Live).

This is one of my favorite movies. My friend had a DVD and he gave to me. Still I don’t know how many times I have seen it. Such a beautiful musical movie. Whenever I get time, I listen to the songs from “The sound of music”. “My favorite things”, “I am sixteen going on seventeen”, “So long farewell” and “do-re-me” are my favorite songs in this movie. It is heard that the movie is based on a real incident.

This is the summary of the movie

A novice in a strict Salzburg Abbey, Maria loves the beauty of nature and always forgets about religious duties. She’s always late for prayers and mass. The senior nuns always think “How to solve a problem like Maria?” But they also agree that Maria taught them love. She’s such an enthusiastic lady. She’s always very active and energetic. Mother Abbess thinks Maria is suiting for life outside the convent and very kind to Maria. Once gets a chance, she decides to sends Maria to Captain von Trapp’s house to work as a tutor for his seven children.

Captain von Trapp is a widower and brought up his children in a military discipline. I really laughed when the children came one by one in a parade to introduce them to Maria. They all wear uniform at home also. Maria really surprised by seeing all these. Except the youngest one, all the others didn’t like her at the first meeting. She finds out that she is the newest of many tutors that the children have already driven away.

But the first day itself Maria can get the support of the children by her soft attitude and music. The very next day, Captain goes to get her fiancée. Thus Maria become very close to the children. She made them dresses from the costly curtain materials used in captain’s house. She teaches them to sing and dance. It was a new experience for the children. A puppet show arranged by the children really surprises the captain. Actually he also was a good singer. After his wife’s death, he never practices anything. Captain presents Baroness Schroeder as his fiancée to his children.

Children don’t like the new lady. During a ball, Maria gets a chance to dance with the captain in front of all the guests and while dancing she discovers her feelings for the captain. Captain also feels something. Baroness Schroeder wants Maria to leave the Trapp Villa immediately. She runs backs to the convent. The children suffer Maria’s loss and think ways to bring her back. They go to convent and beg. But she refuses to go back. She confesses her love to the Mother Abbess and she encourages her to go back. Baroness Schroeder realizes that the captain also has some feelings for Maria and leaves. In the presence of 7 children Maria gets married the captain in the same church where she practiced to become a nun.

When they come back from their honeymoon, the Nazis conquered Austria and force captain to do naval service. Captain refuses it and wanted to escape with his family in the darkness. But the force was there around the villa. After begging, they got a chance to participate in a chorus festival (for that they have registered before) at the Salzburg Festival Hall. The police also accompany them there. Captain and family sing a song which is a contribution to their beloved country before they leave it forever. The von Trapps make a dramatic escape after the singing. During prize distribution only the police came to know that the captain and family have escaped. They goes to Maria’s Abbey and with the help of nuns hiding in the cemetery. The last scene shows the Trapp family climbing the Alps. I felt it’s symbolic. It’s a climbing to the new life and independence,

Julie Andrews’s Maria is such a nice character. I think she only sang the songs of this movie. A talented cast. The captain, children, nuns etc made their part well. Nice music and songs, beautiful landscapes and sentimental story. “The Sound Of Music” won the Academy Awards for Best Picture of 1965 and Best Director. Try to see the movie if you get a chance. Surely you also will like it.

Today I am going to write my experience with my new boss. He’s Vijay Chakravarthy, an energetic young man who considers his office as his life and partner. He’s very much fond of dancing and a professional western dancer. Before coming to the interview, I checked the company website and saw his dance performance photo in CEO profile. I stunned by seeing that. As I was an experienced candidate, my interview was directly with him. Search engine genie was urgency with a Pay per Click manager and immediately I got appointed. He gave me a nice designation “Search Engine Expert”. That was my first interview @ Chennai and he ensured me that I will get good exposure over here. It’s really true. Till that time I was just doing the work which was assigned to me. My imaginations and creativity were narrowed inside my office walls. I never thought out of the box. He gave me nice opportunities to study and think. I have never been to the blogging area before. He forced me to start writing in PPC blog and now I am very much comfortable in blogging. He’s always supporting and appreciating me for even small achievements.

He’s a good friend of mine and finds some time to chat with me everyday. He’s very strict at office hours and going wild if he sees something wrong. He is a good player. I love to watch his expressions on game Saturdays. If some other team plays well, his face becomes a balloon. During games, he keeps on quarrelling with our HR or technical head. No-one else has the guts to fight with him. If his team members won’t play well, somehow he arranges a place within the first 4 places. He’s very particular about beauty of his body and very strict in his in-takes. He only explained me about all the advanced techniques in SEO. It is nice to discuss him with the do’s and don’t of Search Engine Optimization. He’s a really hardworking man and a self starter. When he started this company, he had only one capital – self confidence. His confidence and handwork made “search engine genie” and “Vijay” a top brand among our clients and SEO industry.

Here I have many more things to learn. I am getting good exposure. I am giving more importance to that only. Money will come and go. But knowledge?

Thus I reached Bangalore. I joined Blue Flame Internet Services Pvt. Ltd on August 1st 2005. Bangalore was my dream city that time. As soon as I got a job I accepted the offer and joined there. My boss’s name was Ashwin Iddya. He’s a real internet savvy. He only helped me to find a nice and peaceful accommodation. On the first day I was really tensed. That day was enough for me to feel that I reached in such a nice workplace. Harishkumar (we usually call him BP) taught me how to do PPC. I got nice friends like Binny, Madhu, Mahima, Ashok, Krithi, Mamta etc there. These people are still finding time to contact me through phone calls, mails and orkut. So sweet. In my 2.8 years life in BFI, I never saw Ashwin in an angry mood. He doesn’t know how to speak roughly or rudely. He was always so soft. He loves chocolates and coke. We used to keep bottles of coke and boxes of chocolates in fridge. He accepted our repeated request and turned to Appy Fizz instead of coke. He loves popes and rocks. I sometimes quarreled with him for keeping the music in full volume. He used to reduce the volume even if I After completing my 1st year there I asked him for my feedback. He told me “You have to change one thing” and stooped for a minute. I thought I made some mistake and starred at him. Suddenly he told me “try to enjoy loud music. Allow me to put music in sound volume”. There was chance to enjoy every small occasions. Many times I felt that he is a man who knows all the big things in this world and doesn’t have idea about the silly matters. If you see him gloomy, it is sure that the stock market is down and his shares have less value. Nothing else can make him blue. All the girls in my hostel were jealous in the privileges we are getting in our office. Weekly eat-out, tour in 6 months, movies, gift vouchers, bonuses…

Only because my husband -to-be was here in Chennai, I left my job there in Bangalore. All the people in Bangalore office tried to get a job for my husband there. But god’s plan was something else. He got a better job in Chennai itself and I also had to come over here. Still, whenever i get a call from my BFI, the first question they are asking is “when are you coming back?” In future, i won’t think that I will get such a happy working atmosphere. I thank Ashwin and all my team members there. And a special congratulation for Ashwin as he’s going to enter a new life on September 1st. This is your marriage gift in advance.

Last Sunday was my brother-in-law’s son’s (Joel) baptism. You know what baptism is? If you know just check whether what I have written here is right or not. If you don’t know what baptism is then read ahead.
 
Baptism is a Christian spiritual ceremony. This sacramental act turns one as a full member of the Church-Christian. Most Christians, for example Roman Catholics (we are Roman Catholics), Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, and Methodists are baptized as babies.
Baptism normally will happen anytime after 7 days of birth if there are no emergencies.

In New Testament we see, John the Baptist baptized for repentance, baptizing Jesus and many others. In apostolic era, baptism was usually by immersing or pouring water. The candidate had to stand in water and water to be poured over the upper part of the body. To replicate the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan, early days Christians choose rivers for performing baptisms.

According to Christian belief, all are successors of Adam & Eve and so born in sin. So during baptism time, we believe that our sins are washed off and we are born again in god. It is some what like a naming ceremony in Hindu culture. In Kerala, the first baby will get the name of his/her dad’s father’s/mother’s name and second baby will get his/her mom’s father’s/mother’s name. I am not 100% sure about this. In our family it’s like that. For catechism and church related purposes, we usually use this baptism name only.

As our Joel is my brother-in-law’s first baby, he has given the name of my father-in-law. He’s now 5 months old and was crying by seeing all the preparations and crowd. After the ceremony he got many gifts and there was a nice lunch for the invitees.

Currently where I am working is my third company. I am working in Search engine genie for the last 3 months. Here I would like to share my experience with my bosses.

My first office was Indlaw communications pvt ltd. I will tell you about my first interview experience here in another post. I was working with that company till I left Delhi. Mr. Joseph Pookkatt was my boss over there. He is a famous advocate in supreme court. I always wonder how a man from law background could think about a law resource online 10-15 years before. Now indlaw is one of the best law resource in world wide web. Evenif his parents are keralites, my boss born and bought up there in bangalore and then settled his work and living in delhi. He was not that much comfortable in takling in malayalam. He knows malayalam only because his baby sitter and car drivers were keralites. whenever I went to him, he used to speak to me in malayalam only. He might think that as I am a fresher and new to delhi, It would be difficult for me to speak in english or hindi. It has increased my confidence when spoke to him. I could approach him directly and tell him any difficulties. He allowed me halfday on saturdays to go to my study centre. Some times I asked him permission to go to church. Then he told me “If you will pray for our company then only i will send you”. I did so. I am very happy to see indlaw at the top of all law sites. I use to check their website and still receiving their newsletter. I got somany good friends over there. ut the extreme climate cheated me. Otherwise I was still working for indlaw. I don’t that noone before or after joined me got such a nice send off party and gift. I got a job in a new field and flew to IT city of India.

I Will tell that story tomorrow.
