Chocolate Krishna
I have been itching to see this drama by Crazy Mohan for some time since it was first stage some eight weeks ago -- there were some insights to this drama on TV as well and so the urge to watch it was high -- It was a bit of a struggle to get tickets at the right price-- this was one of the Tamil dramas that was being staged at a premium-- I got to see this drama at the right price, thank to my elder Brother in law ( BIL ) who along with like minded people has started a cultural academy at Ambattur ( we call it suburb but it does not look like one for the development that has taken place in the last three years ) So BIL managed us front row seats ( if he cannot do that what kind of BIL is he !! ) - BIL is also the President and so …. They had taken pains to get this staged - originally scheduled to happen at a open air ground , thanks to threatening rains they found a theatre that was running a movie that had no watchers-- they persuaded the owner to cancel a evening show and then made the stage up for the drama and everything was set -- it was a laugher riot for 90 minutes and Crazy Mohan cannot disappoint --With added magic tricks , the kids were zapped -- By doing such things , Crazy Mohan and his team are blending comedy with other things and brining audiences to the shows -- Do not miss this one and go with your kids -- they will simply love Crazy Mohan who is the chocolate krishna in the play-- After the drama was complete , my daughter and her cousins wanted to see Chocolate Krishna but by the time we got to Crazy Mohan , he was in a shorts and T Shirt and the girls refused to believe he was the one dressed up as Krishna -- My daughter refused to shake hands !! So simple are Mohan and Madhu Balaji brothers who have been doing stage plays for so many years
Humour Club-
This was a overdose of humour having watched the play on Saturday -- I stayed only for the open session-- the session was good except for the fact time was spent on reminding people on getting their act together and deliver jokes that do not hurt anyone or cross the limit -- This was done after a bad one was delivered by a very Senior citizen ( in the last month ) and that had lot of negative vibes and got criticism-- I for one enjoyed the joke that he said and if you guys want to hear it , see me
Formula one racing
What a week end it was !Monza the Italian GP is the home race of the Ferraris --The team would like to forget this one for sure although the consolation could be that the winner Vettel who races for Torro Rosso have Ferrari engines on them- the comparison can end there-- It was rainy and the track conditions were treacherous-- Vettel took advantage and got the pole position in the qualifying -- Massa was sixth , Raikonen at 14th and Hamilton 15th-- One thought it was a just accident that Vettel was on pole and the rest were far away- vettel proved everyone wrong in the race ion Sunday-- he lead from the start and had advantage -- first there was no start of the race -- The safety car went around for the first two laps --This prevented effectively any one from doing a charge at the first turn for which Monza is famous and has lead to accidents as well- So Vettel was protected and then when the safety car was off ,he had a clear vision and for the rest , the car in front was throwing up water and they had difficulty in vision due to this - Vettel took both the advantages to his stride and never cracked under pressure except for one small incident and took the chequered flag -- He is the youngest driver in formula one history to win a GP-- Hamilton for his part charged , did some great overtaking manoeuvres and finished seventh- Raikonen finished 9th - Massa finished where he started sixth-- The lead for Hamilton is just one point and the next race at Singapore is a road race on Sept 28th and one needs to see how it goes -- it will be very interesting since it will be night race and how the track gets illuminated -- Watch out

Comments

Sri,
It was so bad to see Raikkonen struggling to overcome after starting 14th while Hamilton made the overtaking look so easy. Had it not been for the poor selection of tyre type, hamilton would have made it to the top 4.
