Velicham delivers the message that “Happiness can be found anywhere"

Velicham is a 2023 avant-garde Tamil short film that immerses the viewers into the lives of two young siblings, Bujimma and her brother, as they handle life with all its harshness in a dump yard in Tamil Nadu, India. This heart-wrenching tale invites audiences to empathize with the experiences of these children and prompts deep reflection on societal attitudes toward marginalized communities. This 24-minute short film is produced by a joint venture of DN Media Productions and Haritham Movies. Directed by Sanu K Chandran and Nidhin Salgunan, Velicham is a unique blend of music and emotion, presented in an unconventional style.              

The two siblings are portrayed by Master Davinchi Satheesh (Best Child Artist at Kerala State Film Awards 2023) and Baby Thennal Rithu. The rest of the crew comprises major names that include cinematography by Vishnu Panicker (Mikhael, Valatty), production design by Appunni Sajan (Malik, 4aam Mura), editing by Ayoob Khan (Drishyam, Athiran), music by Varun Sunil (Founder of Masala Coffee Band, Valatty), sound design by Nixon George (Minnal Murali), final mixing by Fazal A. Backer (Churuli, Ajagajantharam), etc. This roster of extraordinary talents has made the viewing experience a powerful and moving cinematic journey. The main setting for the movie was Chennai, Tamil Nadu, with a few scenes filmed in Ernakulam, Kerala as well. Filming concluded in January of 2022, and the film is now all set for release on Apple TV and Google Play Movies & TV in 2023.

The short employs minimal dialogue, relying instead on gentle background music to accompany most scenes. Velicham has a significant impact by drawing our attention to subtle issues of the class system and inspiring discussions on how we can work towards a more equitable and compassionate society. The story prompts us to count our blessings and be happy no matter how much life crushes us down. Velicham is going to be one of those artworks that is going to make us think as well as bring about a change within.

बिना तलाक लिव-इन रिलेशन में नही रह सकते विवाहित लोग, पुनर्विवाह की भी अनुमति नहीं; इलाहाबाद हाई कोर्ट

बिना तलाक लिव इन रिलेशन में नही रह सकते विवाहित लोग, पुनर्विवाह की भी अनुमति नहीं; इलाहाबाद हाई कोर्ट

Allahabad High Court: एक लिव-इन जोड़े ने इलाहाबाद हाई कोर्ट में सुरक्षा अपील दायर की, लेकिन इसे अस्वीकार कर दिया गया क्योंकि दोनों ने पहले से ही अन्य लोगों से शादी कर ली थी और उनके संबंधित विवाह से तलाक का कोई दस्तावेज नहीं था. जस्टिस रेनू अग्रवाल की बेंच ने कहा कि अदालत इन अवैध साझेदारियों को नज़रअंदाज़ नहीं कर सकती और चेतावनी दी कि ऐसा करने से सामाजिक व्यवस्था ख़राब हो जाएगी. अदालत ने इस बात…

Kat's Top Books of 2023

Was inspired by someone else's post to do a Kat's top 5 books of the year post culling from my #recently reads. I read a lot this year and encountered a lot of great titles, but these ones were particularly memorable:

Vagabonds! by Eloghosa Osunde. Interconnected short stories following the lives of queer misfits and outcasts in Nigeria. I have a passage saved on my phone. I read this back in January so I don't remember the contents as much as the feelings it evoked, but it was beautiful and haunting.

Don’t Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones. Read My Heart is a Chainsaw first if you haven't already. The books pit Jade Daniels, a young woman with a trauma she's refusing to face head on but instead buries in an obsession with the moral logic of slasher films, against irl slashers who keep coming to town. Bonus points for wired jaw representation, aka my future.

Brotherless Night by V.V. Ganeshananthan. Set during the Sri Lankan civil war following a young Tamil woman who's caught in the middle as loved ones join the Tigers. It starts with a striking passage that you think means one thing and then comes back later in a way you don't expect that's a huge gut punch.

The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez. A high fantasy story that is also a diaspora story as the characters' scattered descendants watch history play out. Dips into everyone's thoughts to create a chorus POV that's really effective. Note - incredibly gruesome. Organs, lovingly described, etc.

The Golem of Brooklyn by Adam Mansbach. A stoned art teacher accidentally creates a golem who decides his mission is to stop an upcoming alt right rally. Explores the interactions between the old world and the new and the weight of historical trauma - every golem shares the same ancestral memory. Carries its tensions to the very last page and leaves the reader to supply the answers.

(Honorable mention to System Collapse which didn't make it into the #recently read posts, but I had a great time!)

Nonfiction shoutout to A City on Mars which sourced so many delightful space facts and gave me a lot to think about re: SF worldbuilding that is at all grounded in reality. Plus it was really funny.

Kalingattuparani

A parani is particular kind of Tamil literary composition which eulogises a warrior who has killed a thousand male elephants on the battle - field. A curious thing about this genre is that it is named after the vanquished foe.

Kalingattuparani is the most famous of all paranis. Composed by Jayamkondar, the poet laureate of Kulottunga Chola, it depicts the Chola invasion of Kalinga. It celebrates the triumph of  Karunakara Tondaiman, the lord of Vandaiyar, a general of Kulottunga. Karunakara Tondaiman defeated the Kalinga king Anantavarman and planted a pillar of victory in Kalinga. However, we should remember that these are literary works produced under the patronage of rulers to appease them.

I would like to present a short extract from this great work used in the 2010 film Raavanan:

Let us begin the war Let us begin the war Soldiers on both camps shouted War cries reverberated like the roar of the ocean! Charge the cavalry here! Send the elephant division there! These war cries went on increasing!

They stringed their strong bows Rending all the directions by their noise! In the battle-field War cries struck the world dumb!

Both the armies dashed against each other Like the confrontation of two oceans; The charging of the cavalries Like the confrontation of foaming waves!

Warring elephants dashed against each other Like the clash of the mountains! Chariots charged against each other Like the clash of the clouds!

This is from Tamil Nadu

Rainny Aesthetic Photography!

Hey there! Happy Sinhala and Tamil New Year!!🙏❤️

These days I haven’t been updating the blog much because I’m on holiday🥳 But of course during this holiday period I have to keep in touch with my blog so I’m doing that now.

From the title of this blog you can already tell what I’ll be posting. It may not seem too important, but since we learned about lighting in film, I thought it would be relevant to post these pictures I took when it was raining in the night day before yesterday!

For context, day before yesterday I went out for a drive with my fam. It was raining cats and dogs. On top of that, there was thunder and lightning. While I was sitting next to the car door, I noticed how beautiful the rain drops looked on the shutter. So I decided to take some pictures!

I also took a picture of Tea Avenue while we were passing by. The blur in the photo makes the shot look aesthetic.

Once we reached home and I had open and close the gate before going home, I noticed how the red lights from our vehicle bathed the tree branches close by. I had to take a picture.

I have to admit that I did a few edits to some of the original pictures to make them look more eye catching in terms of brightness, tint, noise reduction, saturation, etc.

It's safe to say that I have a liking towards cinematography and lighting. I still have a lot to learn about these two topics, but I believe these pictures are a good start.

That's all for this post! I hope to post the three short videos I made with Thameena, Shiza and Ayodya on an upcoming post.

Thank you for reading! Have an amazing day! <3

TAG 9 PEOPLE YOU WANT TO GET TO KNOW BETTER

Got tagged by the ever effervescent @waitmyturtles (on this post linked here). Thanks dearie! 💖

THREE SHIPS 🔹 It wasn't intentional but mine are the same as @waitmyturtles–

Pat and Pran

Kurosawa and Adachi

Togawa and Nozue.

FIRST SHIP 🔹 The legendary MaxTul.

LAST SONG 🔹 I can't just put one down here; my taste is eclectic and random, and just the last song will paint the wrong picture.

A selection paints a fuller picture (but it's still curious): Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson's "Symphony" (because it was playing in the gym, and the music video is a masterpiece of an LGBT short film that brings me to tears every time – do watch if you haven't yet. It's beautiful). Also Miley Cyrus' "Flowers", the MSP boys' "You've Got Ma Back" and Tilly Birds' "Just Being Friendly." Gonna mention Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" and Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man" too because they both popped up on YouTube. And Adam Lambert's version of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" because Tumblr decided to take a complaint about bots and set it to music (blogpost linked here).

LAST MOVIE 🔹 This one is way out of left field: Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 (the first Tamil movie I've watched in years, and it was SO GOOD). The book it's based on is also a classic. I'm not Tamil (or even of Indian ancestry) but the culture and language have a special place in my heart because of a childhood housekeeper/nanny who was more like family. Now thinking of watching RRR, but don't know if I will get around to it, because the energy in the clips seems a bit overwhelming. (Yes, I'm aware it's Telugu and not Tamil.) Prior to this – it was either Dune or Encanto (no hang on, maybe it was Everything Everywhere AAO; have been avoiding the cinema for a while since I couldn't get vaccinated earlier due to allergies and had to stay indoors quite a bit).

CURRENTLY READING 🔹 Don't hate on this – read the full explanation please – but with a tinge of guilt about the ethics of it all I'm re-reading a book about a certain boy wizard and his journey to self-actualization. Yes, I'm aware the author (whom I shall refrain from naming – like a Voldeuxmort) has in recent years fallen out of favor due to her views on trans issues, and is now a pariah among vast swathes of Tumblr, so please don't come at me, but I have my reasons.

When the books first came out I was fascinated by the world-building and concocted etymologies, but that's not the reason I'm re-reading. Thing is, I'm trying to learn another language (vastly different from the ones I do know) and the books are very useful for this. They have translations readily available in almost any language you could want, and I can cross-check any difficult bits with the English version, and I already know the story anyway. Plus there's lots of dialogue and the original author's style (or lack of it) isn't hugely literary – the prose is mostly functional, even pedestrian. And the plainness of the language helps when you're not ready (at learner level) for any leaps of linguistic trickery (except for the fantastical made-up bits, which you wouldn't need to learn anyway).

Also – and this is a big reason – my late mom loved these books, and they were the basis for a lot of shared memories for us. I remember watching the films with her and visiting the memorabilia stores too. They made her very happy, and this in turn made me happy. Mom also passed before any of the author's less savory views became public. So having them about reminds me of Mom a lot, back when things were simpler and without the current climate of nastiness.

So yes the books have become tarnished in my view, but the way I'm looking at it – these are books I already had even before the author's controversies broke to the surface, so it's not like I bought them recently and am indirectly supporting her here. I used to treasure these books for their imaginative content, rather less so now. There is still beauty in them, but they're also devalued in other ways. I'm not going to throw them out just yet (not right now anyway) – because for now they're also portkeys to happy memories and happier times.

I think of them like this – they're like the heirloom antiques passed down from generations before, but then you get them appraised and suddenly you find out they're not quite the precious artifacts you thought they were. But just because Mom's old clock or statue turned out to be a dud, it doesn't mean I can't use it as a doorstop or paperweight (or just another decorative tchotchke). You don't have to give it pride of place on the mantelpiece, but you can keep it for different uses that bring utility to your life in other ways. (And as always the other voice in my head is going "Yeaaah well, but that clock face has radium and the statue is flaking lead paint! You have a toxic doorstop that could kill the dog and that paperweight is also poisoning the worktable!" OK, valid points; just give me a little bit more time to figure this one out, please. 🤷‍♂️)

For now I'm using these books as functional learning aids, rather than throwing them out straightaway (it's better for the environment too, I tell myself). When my grief over Mom's passing fades (as it will, it must) maybe I can let them go of them then. 😥💖

CURRENTLY WATCHING 🔹 These shows:

Moonlight Chicken

My School President

Bad Buddy (always coming back to this one – but I watch my favorite bits on repeat, rather than going sequentially in full chrono)

The Amazing Race 34 (missed out on this when it first came out, so it's a binge watch now).

CURRENTLY CONSUMING 🔹 Gluten-free fruitcake – I have one in the fridge being quickly depleted and two others stashed in the freezer awaiting their turn; a dear friend and relation is a great baker, and when we recently got together after a years-long break (kept apart by the pandemic), he gave me several of these delicious beauties because he knows how much I love them and covet quality baked goods that are also GF (not always easy to find). SO GOOD with hot coffee and Thai BL. Also munching on the odd slice of gourmet bak kwa from a secret source, plus arrowhead chips.

CURRENTLY CRAVING 🔹 Chicken rice because of Moonlight Chicken.

ONWARD TAGS 🔹 Would like to get to know you more: @miscellar, @colourme-feral, @theheightofdishonor, @airenyah, @crzshaly437, @dribs-and-drabbles, @gennianydots, @faillen, @bengiyo. Ah and @respectthepetty too! Oops, I've gone past nine. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

As always, no obligation to play! But fun if you do. 🥰
