As I Look Back….

As I look back,2009 wasn’t all that a great year for certain reasons but it was simply a Life Altering year for a lot more reasons. “Pappu Pass Ho Gaya” would be the first thing that I would say when it comes to my academic stats,finally with lot of pain and grief I am now a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering(That’s what my certificate which is yet to come is supposed to say).So the year 2009 has made me a ‘Bachelor’(I am, yes I am…lol) who is yet to ‘Master’ his world.

New year

As I look back, the first thing that comes to my mind is the New Year celebrations 2009;I celebrating thebeginning of yet another year and of course “My Birthday”(Yup,lucky brat I am…???) with my partners in crime, all of them in fact. Our celebrations started at Ramada & Loungevity on December 31’st and went on four days which was Archana’s Birthday too(Yes, she’s a Capricorn too) and how can I forget the days ahead, cos technically we all were broke badly after that LOL.(so technically we were the first to be hit by Recession  ..LOL). And a lot has changed since then, a lot ….

IMG_0149 copyYes Indiavision had already loosen its grips making me and Asif technically ‘Jobless’(We were program producers cum VJ there ya see). So unlike all other men who would probably look for another job, we were quite geniuses-We did nothing. Asif had decided his destiny, he was just waiting for the path to show up and yes the year 2009 did show him one and now he has taken the first step towards his destiny.DSC02375

And the movie “Ritu” just gave him enough push for everyone to see the “Actor” in him or in his own words to see the “Kutty Tiger” in him(means small Tiger….Really ! he is …LOL).The picture put up was taken when we went wish Asif “All the success” as he was leaving for the shoot of ‘Ritu’.

Archana was already expecting a call for the movie, “Patanathil Bootham” which she apparently did not take up and she was the Chairperson of our club-“the Jobless club”(LOL..i just made up that now). But then her Life too took a U-turn when Lal Sir, asked her to play Kunjumallu of Neelathamara. So there goes our chairperson (LOL).

I am going to miss them for certain but I am very happy that they have been bestowed with what they deserve. As for me, my transition from Program Producer of Yes Indiavision to Director (Operations) of my own startup firm took its course of time and my journey so far been Fun & troublesome.

Yeh hai Duniya !’ and I ask back ‘Yeh Beta Kaun Hai’(Ah ! OK …..Bad joke, I always try you see).a lot has changed around Shruti(@shrutikutu) has now migrated to Trivandrum, Jyoti now in UK,Anup now thinking of quitting smoking & Alcohol(I forgot the last time he took this decision..LOL),Shweta now doing her final Semester, Ajeesh still not got laid in UK(someone find him a Chic .Please!),Rakesh(stuck somewhere),Mathew at Mumbai,Anitha decided to reduce her weight by 4 Kgs(I bet she still would be like a 100 Kgs..LOL) recession, Re.1 for Twitter SMS’s in Airtel(LOL..Now that was a good one ).Something’s still unchanged though Sithara(@SitharaP),Abilash(@abbbii ),Sunil; Happy everyone still here for me ! Thanks Guys!

As I look back,I learned that Life ahead is more back…….

“No shortcut to success”:Asif Ali

Asif would seem to be just the guy next door but what makes him different is the career he choose after he finished is BBA at Marian college,kuttikanam.while others choose to go for higher studies or hunt for jobs he knew he was born for something else and may be his will alone was his strength to actually make him different.

Asif Ali,one of the new faces introduced by Shyamprasad in his upcoming film RITU has more than what he looks like.He likes to be called”kutti-Tiger” and i guess that name suits him well for what he is.We got few minutes with him to know what’s he made of ?

How did it happen ? Did the movie choose you or where you after it ?

Well ever since my not so great results of my first semester BBA exams came in i made up my mind that pen,paper etc are not my best freinds. It took me some time to actually believe the”actor” in me but after the results its was more or less like my only choice like you have that feeling or something in your head tells you”Kid you’re made for cinema”…you know something like that.

So then joined Indiavision as VJ/producer and then i never had to look back.

Sound liks another moviescript but was the journey very rosy ?

Not at all,My parents wanted me to go for higher studies and the even people around were pretty not so encouraging about choosing this career.But then there were people who believed in me especially My mom who’s been my strength.

So how did RITU happen ?

Well since i was in television building contacts was easy,Cuckoo mam had actually promoted me for attending the audition of RITU and the Shyam Sir saw his charcter alive in me.

So how was the experience ?

Working with Shyam Sir was like the greatest thing to happen to me.He is the most cool director one can work with and the entire team of Ritu was unique.I myself feel so lucky to be associated with such a project.

What plans ahead ? new project ??

Well,Ritu is just releasing next month and new projects are still in discussion.

Any messages for youth who wish to come in similar line ?

Stay focussed and have strong faith in yourself and understand that there is no shortcut to success.

Story of Kunjumallu who stole our hearts in Neelathamara

Archana Kavi sure knows to cast spell on audience with her eyes and that innocent smile but her ticket to Neelathamara as kunjumallu also had one very important factor,that was the strong resemblance to Ambika,the kunjumallu of the first Neelathamara.

Ah,she’s always been God’s favorite throughout her Life. But then its truly an amazing aspect of how “Timing” is important in everyone’s Life. Archana never aspired to be an actress,she wanted to be a journalist like her father @Josekavi. She was a VJ for more than a year in a channel which never made much of a mark,she did a couple of Ad’s but the call from Lal sir came after her album with Asif Ali got out. She was supposed to debut in a small role for another mallu movie. I still remember the first time she went for auditions, Lal sir’s daughters called her “Achu” just when she got in.(they used to watch Bloody Love-where Archana portrays herself as a Love Guru). So it’s all about “Timing” & God’s blessings i think. But then for her i would say its well deserved.She’s like the heavy lifting champion of talent with the right mix of confidence & will.

And she’s still the same female who loves to cook to have junk food.Though now she’s busy shooting for her next movie “Mummy n Me” at cutticanam,she can’t resist talking to her fans. She had somehow found a computer between the shoot and this was her tweet :

@archanakavi: sorry 4 not being in touch… take care coz i care… love!

Lets wish her all the best for her future and her Birthday is nearing too.(Hope to wish her,is @josekavi back from north pole ?? lol )God Bless !

Gallan Story:I am now at Kochigallan too

Now this is a very small story about how I became a Gallan !

When I was given the honor to write in Kochi Gallan,it was a mixed state of reaction i had within. I used to contribute for Cochin Square before i started my personal blog site. Now that I was concentrating on it,i was pretty confused.Along with all this I had to also maintain blog sites of Smiley & Archana Kavi,so the confusion was what would i write.

Well these had been running in my mind and I finally found an answer to it today as I was on my ride on way back home.The traffic was unusually scary today and it was also a Tuesday,which only makes it more bad. Anyway as i was traversing through South over bridge I saw some strange movements going on. Finally the police started using the Traffic system installed which had people in debacle over curiosity. i don’t know if it was actually the first time they used it but my guess about the system was true.So it happened then to me “Wow ! i just got my first story to be a Gallan” and i just finished writing it. You can find it here.

And yes i am officially a Gallan ! LOL !
