This has to be there on my blog.. as a memory of my days back in Vivekananda college :)
Under the same tree
By R Prasanna Venkatesh
It was under the same tree
The days of youth, carefree
Hours of fun, right under the scorching sun
What was there to fear, with many near and dear
A craze inflicting aura, dangerously contagious,
All books lay forgotten, the fun voracious.
It was under the same tree
The bond developed, defying differences
It was under the same tree
Egos clashed, then dissolved
It was under the same tree
dreams became reality, lived through words…..
Rain or storm, it stood, just like us
Rooted from deep within, togetherness
like birds we were, seeking shelter
And the day came, when we needed to part
flew we did, fortunes sought
Under the same tree
I sit now, thinking deep
Would we all flock again, under the same tree……

what exactly is the purpose of life? Does is exist?
what exactly is the purpose of life? Does a purpose exist at all? Why do we value something which is temporary? why do we have to attach ourselves to something and then feel the pain when it is taken away from us? why exactly are bonds made? Why do we have to look forward to things.. what is the whole meaning behind expectation and hope. Why are we being tricked day in and day out? Why do we wake up thinking today will be better? Whats the difference between living a life of accomplishments and a mediocre one.. cos death is still the same… Whats the fishing difference? why this struggle.. why this pain.. why this agony.. and most of all.. why so many questions?

Its been really long since I have waited for a movie with so much anticipation and excitement. the movie is worth the effort.. its just magical!!
The basis for my excitement and anticipation are three fold:
1. Gautam Menon – arguably the best romantic movie directors in the post maniratnam era,
2. ARR - the songs were mind blowing
3. Simbhu – totally different portrayal and he rocks.,,ok now dont stop reading this cos I said this.. :)
and each of the above three factors lived up to much more than my expectations!!
The best thing about the movie i feel, is the plot. The plot is pretty simple – hindu boy loves christian girl and the girl loves her parents too much to let go off them..what happens next is what the movie is all about.. There is no separate comedy track, no fights and no villan. 95% of screen time is given to the lead pair – their love story.. this sometimes gives you an impression that its kinda dragging, dull and monotonous. But with that kind of emotion (love) you need that much time to give it its due. The dilly-dallying of Trisha towards Simbhu, how they decide based on such temporal factors and how love binds them even beyond reason and rationale are brought out so perfectly. Hats off to the director !!
Given that its going to be a simple love story with no masala or heart racing action, music and cinematography become very important. ARR’s music is as soul stirring as the chemistry between the lead pair and the locales and shots just add to the momentary pleasure! Right from the title credits you can see the amount of work which has gone in to ensure that they give a fresh feel to the movie. Like I said there is nothing innovative about the plot, it is the presentation and other accompaniments which make the experience truly memorable and refreshing. Speaking of which, please dont enter with a thought that you have come to watch a movie.. keep an open mind..cos its an experience of two people who are desperate to walk the aisle but are pulled back due to social constraints.. The 1st person account type story telling actually adds to this experience.
Of late I felt that Tamil movies were losing their plot with respect to dialogues. The catch in VTV is that its an attempt at bringing out the love between two people and irrespective of their facial expressions what they say will have a huge impact.. and this I think is another plus point for the movie. The dialogues for most part of the movie capture the underlying emotion. Be it the scene where Simbhu is professing is love for the first time or the climax where he describes the girl he has moved on with.. the “ezhuthaalar” has got it bang on!!
Overall VTV is a poignant, picturesque and practical attempt to bring to screen one of the most abused emotions – LOVE.
