Yercaud - lake forest

Yercaud Get together

I am one of the daughters of Mother Nature. My name is YERI KADU The englishman dubbed me as Yercaud.

I am normally chill in this time of the year but I was warmed by the presence of a family called STANLEY VETRANS 78.

They came in groups and singles, Nestled themselves into the cozy warmth of SHEVOROYS HOTEL, hands were shaken and hugs were shared and smiles reciprocated, I could hear whispers" hey u look the same" One sounded "hey i thouoght were the daughter" One was even bold to say "u could model"

They lit my dark starry sky with rockets and flowery pots and doom dammm deeem music.
They jiggled to the tunes around the bonfire with their kids leading the shakes, the organisers were quietly moving to see all felt at home,I was happy to be the HOME.

They walked around my beauty spots THE LAKE , KILIYUR FALLS, LADIES SEAT, MONTFORT SCHOOL,POGODA POINT Each trying to find them selves in me, I was willing to share myself.

I sneaked into the conference hall,
A beauty named Janaki sang to invoke the divine,and many came to share their hearts,
Geetha to say that things have changed and she is no more like old times quiet and timid, others to say things havent changed and all like old times.

While they posed for the group and family picturesI wanted to be one of them too, realizing that i am in all of them .

Selva sang "mounameeee" ... and "antha naal niyabagam vanthatheee..." They were with deep emotion and nostalgic feelings i guess.

They shared pictures of old times and new.

It was getting time to leave, but they wanted to meet again next year with more of them I was willing to honour them again But mother nature has more daughters like me, Where ever they are i will be with them.

That night I prayed to mother
"To grant the family of' STANLEY VETRANS 78 ' HAPPINESS AND HEALTH"

P.S. I Love You, 2007 [* * * * *]

A touching love story about a man who dies from a brain tumour and leaves letters for his wife for an entire year to help her cope with her loss.

Death is so final, leaving so much unfinished for those who love. Dealing with the loss and moving on is made much more difficult by the crippling emptiness of being single again.

Well worth a watch. As her mom says in the movie,"We're all alone. Sometimes it makes me feel better to know that we're all together in that too." Thanks to Bo0m- for suggesting this movie!:)

2012 [* * * * *]

Though this movie has a very poor script, the special effects are stupendous! I bought tickets and saw it on the big screen because I heard so many people talk of it on the net. It was well-worth it just to see entire cities burn down and tidal waves smash up countries and continents drifting.:)

The ethics of the movie are what make you a little disgusted - it's a capitalist, all-american selfishness from beginning to end, with anyone raising a "what about the rest?" question being knocked down with a bullying sneer. In fact, that question never gets answered. So the plot suffers from self-doubt, and everyone's left thinking it's each woman for herself in 3 yrs... but so what: just watch the skyscrapers fall with blinkers on! It's kewl.:p

Vicky Cristina Barcelona, (2008) [* * * *]

A typical Woody Allen take on sex and love. Two women take a long holiday to Barcelona and one finds love and the other sex. Find out what happens. It's pretty steamy and mixed up emotionally - I really dislike Woody Allen for this kind of urbane confusion - all his movies have this unresolved conflict feeling to them. They make me restless to straighten the characters lives with some spiritual direction!:)

It's very interesting - but most of all, it has fantastic scenes of Spain, a country I fell in love with for it's rural idyllic beauty.

He's Just Not That Into You (2009) [* * * * *]

This is a lovely girlie movie - I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the fluffy, yuppie humourous take on modern dating. It was absorbing, like all movies about Love and finding a mate. I think they give us something to compare our own experiences with. Well worth a watch.:)

Coraline, 2009 [* * * * *]

Wow! If you think fairy tales and anime are mild entertainment, you should see Coraline's action-packed adventure!

I confess that I've never seen anything like it and I doubt if I ever will. Here's the fairy tale: Coraline has indifferent and very mundane parents (like we all do ;) and which kid doesn't go through an impatient phase with their everyday parents wishing for two more exciting people instead? Coraline does and she gets what she wished for - and how! Her new parents lives revolve around making her happy and giving her the best of everything ... only, they want something in exchange - her willing participation in a macabre ritual.

I don't want to give any spoilers here, but if you have kids who look at you with disappointment or argue with you all day - this is the movie for them to see and learn to appreciate that your honest best is better than the best dishonesty.:)

17 Again [* * * * *]

This is a feel-good movie that's quite terrific. You know how you lose your way in life, lose focus?

Mike [Matt Perry] goes from being a hot high-school basketball player to a has-been salesman who can't get past the glass ceiling. He's on the verge of a divorce, his kids are out of his reach.

He 'did the right thing' and gave up an opportunity to go to college to marry his high school sweetheart. Now he blames that decision for having held him back all these years.

By magical transformation, he gets a chance to be 17 again [done by Zac Efron]. He gets to do his life over. But ...!!... being the same affectionate and protective guy, he decides it's a chance to put things right for his family.

You should see it for the warmth and affection in it - it could have been so ordinary, but Zac Efron makes being a teen look good. Part of the fun is his friend and his older mind and old-fashioned values coming out of a young mouth. Loved it.
