The fastest week ever

The week which passed seemed to be the fastest of all to me. Of course, nowadays no week seems to drag (excepting the 4 hours from 9am to 1pm everyday when the teachers come and torment us with their supposedly interesting topics) yet last week passed like a flicker of light. Three important things took place. No story books (I don't know why but I wasn't in the mood for books). Two most mundane films. And above all my birthday.

First my birthday. I woke up early (6am is early for me) to find some very surprising presents. I do not exaggerate by saying this is the only birthday ever in my life filled with such a lot of surprises and wishes. My friends arrived one by one. There was no bounds to our enjoyment. We had fun fully for the fast approaching hectic year. My parents were astonished to find me enjoying and rejoicing to the utmost level. Definitely this ought to be the most unforgettable birthday I've ever had. I myself couldn't believe that I had enjoyed so much. The only drawback was that our plan of watching movie had to be canceled due to the work of the TNEB, who chose that particular day for the power shutdown. But that didn't affect our enjoyment to the least.

Talking about the two dragging movies I saw, I feel astonished that they didn't make the week seem longer. The first was paiyaa. Karthik has got a decent role for the first time, but it does not suit him, probably because we saw him in a more dishevelled look in this previous films. He doesn't get the expressions properly. Tammannah has done a good job of what has to be done. The film would have become more popular only if it had come some one and a half decades ago. The story has become something out of date. The music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is good.

The second is Vinnai Thandi Varuvayaa. Better than the former, but not up to the mark.Though many say it is really good, I didn't find anything special in it. Just a simple love story. I had expected much more from the comments I received. But I don't know what people find something so special about it. For me it was a great disappointment. The music is brilliant. Well, I don't have to tell about the music being good when you know it is by Rahman. Still I want to express my views.

Well the other things that characterized this week are as usual the classes, tests (the not-so-interesting part) and enjoying with friends in school (the better part). I don't know why this week especially of all has seemed to drag. And forgive me for boring you with my own musings. I wanted to do something and I realized that it was long since I blogged. So I just babbled whatever came to my mind. And thanks for reading, with or without patience, my jabber.

Twilight

Every pathetic reader has books of their own interest. I, being an ardent reader of adventures, had a break when I read the Twilight. It was a far cry from the other adventurous books I've read. It tells a peculiar story about vampires, werewolves and humans. Of course there are many fables woven around such myths, which are told to young children to make them eat, but this stands out because it is a tale which could also be enjoyed by adults.

The story begins as seventeen year old Isabella Swan goes to continue he studies at Forks, her father's hometown. She has an aversion toward that place. The sun gives the folks there a gift of its rays once in a blue moon. She feels out of place there. But the others doesn't seem to feel so and shower their friendship on her. She has a strange idea that Edward Cullen doesn't like her. But soon enough they become friends, but Bella notices strange things about him which others fail to notice. For instance he changes his eye colour and he suddenly shifts moods. Soon she finds the truth about him, that he was not human. He was a vampire. Yet she continues her friendship. She feels no anticipation. But soon enough she gets into trouble with a bunch of vampires who are trying to quench their thirst by her blood.

The writing has three sequels- New moon, Eclipse and Breaking dawn. New Moon narrates Bella’s reaction when Edward decides to leave her for her to have some human happiness. She is also chased by a deadly vampire. Her best friend turns out to be a werewolf. But this is not so interesting as Twilight. The story seems to drag in the middle, but soon enough, it gains momentum. I’m looking forward to read the Eclipse and breaking dawn. But I can do so only when I find the time for it.

Last but not least, I would advise you if you're planning to read the Twilight to start doing so only when time is at your disposal, because once you start reading it you will not be able to move away from it.
