The little one has a new fad now. Walking around wearing daddy T-shirts and claiming "I am daddy!" It is hilarious. Caught her on video when she was least suspecting it.
We had fun yesterday at Big Trees state park which was a 3 hour drive away. We also visited a mining town that has been preserved to look like the early 1900's called Columbia on the way back that reminded us of our trip to Ballarat in Australia many years ago! It was one tiring trip for the kids who did 2 mile walks and some steep climbs to get to the Stalinslaus river. Now the little one has a cold and both kids are going through Daddy withdrawal symptoms as I make my way to spend this work week in Austin. Time for her to grow up and be daddy! .
Someone has made it big?
It looks like our wedding Videographer has finally made it big in the movie industry!
Watched the latest Ajith movie yesterday and it did not impress me. Yes, it is impressive that Ajith (who is a mainstream hero with probably 3 hits out of 50 films that you can name off the top of your head) decided to play an anti hero role in his 50th movie! That still doesn't make the movie good or different.
There are lot many movies today that are more experimental than this one which are not getting the same hype! Most of the scenes that got claps are copies from other movies, even the song in the background score with the movie title sounds like a rip from Kaminey!
Anyways, it is very difficult for someone like me who has seen way too many movies and remembers things to appreciate "imported" scenes in Tamil movies. If you have seen Angelina Jolie pull James McAvoy into a car as she spins it towards him, it is difficult to appreciate Arjun doing the same thing and clap.
Folks who have not seen "Wanted" will jump up and clap. Again, this post meanders into a movie critique. That was not the intent..
There is one song in this movie, which is a take off from a beer commercial where everything except the people builds itself (the walls, furniture , etc. ) in some kind of self assembly format. The focus is so much on the special effects that you miss the song, the actors and everything else.
Classic case of overdoing a special effect.. kind of like our wedding video!
Ajith multiples in much the same fashion I did in our wedding video! That leaves us to the inescapable conclusion...
Wedding videographers, keep practicing your special effects and one day you too can make it big in the movies!

Prayers
Little one after waking up : Daddy, you know something?
Me : What?
LO : Last night I came and huggied you and thaachamed (sleep) with you right ?
Me : Yes.
LO : You know, I was praying in my brain that you don't leave me and go to Yoga in the morning! and you came back just like I prayed..
Looks like there are forces at work beyond my control. This morning for reasons unknown, decided to go back to sleep when the alarm rang. So did MIL.
Guess someone's prayers got answered!
