Movie Abiyum Nanum
This Tamil movie is a great watch for parents who have girls as their siblings -- Normally a heavy subject ( I still remember Sivaji -- Nadiya starrer that you could barely watch for the amount of sentiment and crying that went on in that movie ( name forgotten ) ) , this has been dealt firmly but with lot of practicality and humour to it -- Not many will relish this movie but all parents will -- The crowd at the theature also reflected this sentiment -- there was no youngsters - it was all Oldies , middlies and young parents -- Commercially it may not ring the coffers but a Prakashraj has the quality and passion to make a movie like this -- Again , he played the father role to a great perfection -- Lot of places , I was able to relate with my daughter as well -- You get the satisfaction of seeing a good movie at the end of it -- Mind you , not a single fight in the movie ( songs could have been avoided as well ) Wholesome family movie -- the son in law who steals the daughter away from the father , the beggar who has no name all are great characters that teaches you reality of the world and life - Incidentally the SIL 's name was Joginder Sing ( aha , FBSC guys does this ring a bell ? )
Watch the movie with your family -- brothers sisters , cousins parents , not with the mottai pasaga!!
Football
ManUtd did what I wanted them to do -- over the week , they beat Wigan and Bolton and after 21 games of the 38 have been completed are on top of the English premier league -- they still need to continue their winning ways -- they have lot of injury worries to their key players but being the ManUtd Fan expect them to manage and do well

Dear Sri, you said it right. A wonderful movie to watch. A revelation to parents who do everything to children to satisfy thier wish. Good measure of fun with a heavy message -- Be practical, trust them and prepare to set them free.
