Yet another blast and its casualities made the headlines in this weeks newspapers..the perpetrators still at large or taken into custody etc will continue to haunt us every time we open the newspapers for days to come.S Such heinous acts of violence ofcourse has to be condemned,but what irritates me is the graphic presentations and the dramatic interpretations of the whole event in some leading news channels and newspapers.Its as if they were waiting for such a tragedy to happen to fill their columns and airtime with hearsays and actualities..Two days ago news channels were agonisingly focusing on the lamenting mother whose 9 year old son perished in the bomb blast.will it melt the already petrified hearts of those behind the hideous crime? NEVER..instead they will double up their celebrations thoroughly enjoying the magnitude of devastaion ...one channel was showing the iron nails added in the crude bombs to increase the impact.it had ripped apart a wooden door almost 20 meters

"wow,it stunned me.did that Director take a sneak peek into my life?!!!" quipped my friend when i told her i watched the movie.Surely ,it did touch certain chords in my heart too.But then this is the story of hundreds of Indian women,treated as doormats,their time and talent wasted to satiate one mans ego...oh,my..before i get carried away.i enjoyed the film to the hilt...After some hard to laugh comedy movies with some usual comedians trying hard to keep their comic mantles straight , this one was a refresher.Akku Akbar has done his homework thoroughly. the movie is serious with a social message,but at the same time a light hearted family entertainer. All the characters have a purpose..Even Suraj Venjaramoodu has some substantial message to convey.Gopika is a wonder.her character is not fully the docile ,shy and modest wife that an indian wife is supposed to be.In an interview the Director was heard saying that she surpassed all his expectations and initial apprehensions
