Often, when we attempt to prepare a fried rice, no matter however we prepare, we cannot even get close to how it's prepared in Fast Food or in any top star Hotels. But the following receipe will assure you that you get the actual FRIED RICE.

Deal-a No Deal-a?

Ingredients

Basmati Rice (Double Deer Brand) - 2 Cups

Chopped Onion - 1/2 Cup

Spring Onion - 2 nos
Chopped Capsicum - 1 Cup
Carrot (Cut Vertically) - 1 Cup
Cabbage (Shredded) - 2 Cups
Beans (Cut into tiny pieces) - 1 Cup
Egg - 2 Nos
Agino Moto - 2 Tbl Spoon
Sugar - 1 Tbl Spoon
Black Pepper - 2 Tbl Spoon
Soya Sauce - 1/2 Tbl Spoon
Oil - 2 Tbl Spoon
Salt - As needed (தேவையான அளவு)

Note : Ingredients quantity are subjected to ONLY one person. ஒரு ஆள் மட்டும் தான் சாப்பிட முடியும். Please increment the ingredients if you want to prepare for more people.

Instructions :
Take a frying pan. Before that please light the stove. Keep the frying pan (something that you use for frying pappad). Add oil in the pan and leave it for a minute. Now, add the chopped onions and fry the onions until the பச்சை வாசனை goes. Now take the raw egg and break it on to the pan. Keep beating the egg with a கரண்டி as the egg easily sticks to the pan which will make it difficult to scratch. Keep beating the egg in the pan so it becomes like a burjji. Now add the shredded cabbage, carrot, capsicum and beans to the pan and keep acting as if you are cooking something with the கரண்டி. This is very important or else அடி புடிச்சிடும்.
Now keep the stove in slim mode as you are going add a few more ingredients without disturbing the setup. Add the boiled basmati rice. Make sure the basmati rice is boiled in the correct format. I mean, the rice shouldn't stick. If you blow the rice, it should move and that's the பதம். After adding the rice to the pan, add salt, sugar, agino moto and soya sauce.
Why are we adding all these things? Salt, as everyone knows gives taste. Sugar will give color. Agino Moto gives flavour. Soya Sauce again gives color.
Now keep the stove in full flame and keep mixing the contents nicely and throughly. If you are an expert, you can even lift the pan and flip flop the contents but make sure you don't dump the contents on the floor by doing this circus.
இந்த மாறி பண்ணா சும்மா அந்தரா வரும்.

Inglorious Basterds - Quentin Tarantino is the best of them all

To start with, I am not a great fan of Tarantino's work. Of course his Pulp Fiction remains to be in my list of top 100 movies of all time, but with Inglourious Basterds, he defintely proved that he has not lost his bloody brilliant screenplay. Here goes the story as IMDb says so, In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers. If one would want to know details about World War II, please visit World War II. But that doesn't act as a pre requiste to understand the movie. The movie is in deed deals about WWII, but since this was made by Tarantino, one who mastered in non linear play, you don't see any visuals of a war battle except a few which is shown in a different way in the movie than it's actual content. But yes, this movie is highly fictious that WWII which is considered as one of the tragic event is conveyed probably in a more funnier way and more interesting manner.

Who is the best basterd? We have a huge list of top class actors in the movie from Brad Pitt to Diane Kruger to August Diehl. But there is one man who steals the show. Col. Hans Landa, performed by Chris Waltz literally steals the show with his witty nature and splendid performance. This is probably a clever and smart casting by Tarantino to pick a german speaking actor to play this role. This is in fact the first American movie for Mr. Waltz. The way he builds the anxiety towards the end of the scene is something remarkable. He just blew me in the very beginning of the movie in the chapter 'Once upon a time in Nazi-Occupied France'. In fact in most of the scenes in the movie, which is comprised of chapters, the chapter starts in a slow pace with an ordinary conversation and slowly it picks the pace and finally it ends with bang bang bang!!!

Trivia : Guess who was supposed to do this role? It's our chocolate boy DiCaprio supposed to play this role but later QT decided to stick to the tag that he wants a german speaking actor to play this role and The Jew Hunter just did a cake walk.

The first chapter gives us a lot of symbolism and some director's trademark sequences. Director gives us a realistic feel by allowing the English to speak English, Germans to speak German and French to speak French. Addition to that, when playing the subtitle in English while the characters converse in foreign language, you could notice a few words abdruptly translated in their native language. For instance, you can see 'Oui' meaning 'Yes' appearing as 'Yes' (translated term in English) in a few places and wanted appearing as 'Oui' in French-English in some places. Likewise, you could notice the same in other words in other chapters as well. As the conversation starts, Landa greets and treats the French family in a polite manner and opens a room to the family to speak about himself where he is of a character who wants to know what people speak about him. This is evident as he asks LaPadite to tell him about the rumours that he heard. As the conversation gets deeper, you can notice Landa once again asking for milk and once again greets his family and their cows in French. There is actually a different notation conveyed there. 'A votre famile et a voas vaches je dis Bravo' means he thanks the ladies in the family and the cows for the milk. 'Vache' in french means cows. 'Vache' also means Vagina. Hope you got what Landa wishes to convey to LaPadite. He somehow threatens politely to make LaPadite admit that he is hiding the Jews.

Now comes Aldo, the Basterds. Their clean aim to not just killing Nazis, but leaving a fear to the world that there is a group exists which brutally kills Nazis. This is clearly shown in the way they kill each and every Nazis that appear before them. And the scene where the Basterds teases the Nazis is one of the top notch funniest scene in the movie. The way Aldo introduces his men about their bravery and why were they part of the Basterds was conveyed in one of the most funniest manner. Special mention to Hugo Stiglitz. Not to forgot Donny boy who breaks the skull with his baseball tushy. We just missed his introduction scene like who Hugo had!

We have Shosanna, the girl who escaped from chapter 1 comes again in Chapter 3 after 4 years. Now she owns a cinema and changed her name. Mr Zoller, the german soldier who is known for his bravery in the recent war where he killed more than 300 enemies single handedly approaches Shosanna for a different reason. But this suspense was maintained in the initial scenes between the two. Our Jew Hunter doesn't miss Shosanna. He comes again as a security officer appointed for the premiere. We have the director's trademark here as well. Landa orders for a milk and that makes Shosanna to hiccup. He keeps increasing the anxiety when he asks Shosanna that he wanted to ask something to her! But alas, he says he forgot may be that's not important! Shosanna sighs with a big relief! This shows how fearful the Jew Hunter is!!!

Ah, I am getting more deeper into the chapters, let me just try to input a few thoughts and nuances alone. Let's get inside the premiere of 'Nation's pride', Shosanna's move, Aldo's plan and Landa's clever and cunning step. The final chapter of the movie, this has almost all the characters in the picture. The conversation between Landa and Bridget von Hammersmark is a great tease play inquiring about Mountain Climbing in Paris. The Italian character names played by the Basterds are real time directors and they are of course Tarantino favourites. The Nation's Pride movie which is a movie with-in the movie is actually directed by Eli Roth. Shosanna sends a message to the German with her footage at the end. The plan to burn the germans and kill Hitler are good to watch though they are very artificial if you had to think logically. Clever Landa goes for an agreement deal with Operation Kino via Aldo. All just happens in a GO.

Inglorious Basterds is truly a movie with great fun and real surprise.

Garbage Express - Rotten movies analysis Part 1

Don't get surprised! It's about movies movies movies! Yes, the following movies have hit the silver screens and I had a chance or rather volunteered to watch them in big screen in some local theatres. I am sure, I will come with more bunch of stupid cinema of 2009 when I have time.So, where shall we start with!

Do you know that we have got a Tarantino already? Bala Ganesha is TN Tarantino with his debut movie 'Eesa' with non linear screenplay with something very close to Pulp Fiction. He has led a very good example to giant directors who really wanted to be QT. I should have recorded the comments when such irrelavant scenes hit the play. Well, you can and allowed to try QT, but you got to be little sensible at least with the jumble. You cannot insert an item number during the climax which is a tragedy climax. And surprisingly you call it a non linear narration. That's non linear bull shit! Anyways, even with a linear narration, the movie is definitely a trash product.

Next one in the list is 'Suryan Satta Kallori'. Well, all of a sudden I listened to one 'Gaana' song which had these lines 'Jeansu paanta avuthu puttu lungiyathaan katti puttu kitta vaaayendi'. But I did not watch the movie for this song, it was quite surprise that when I was watching this movie, I came to know that this song belongs to this movie. Director Pawan, tried to address the real life scenario that TN witnessed with Law College Students in the movie. But poor fellow, he doesn't know direction. Well, what did the actors do? Except for some known villians I seriously wonder whether the lead actor, oh yea, the hero is the producer for this movie!!!

Jagan (na)Mogini, the diwali's dark horse with once again Vadivelu who starred in all the three movies released for Diwali. Well I actually caught this movie a week after Diwali for lone reason :-P This one is the remake of yesteryear movie with the same title. We could recollect all faces whom we would have seen in Vittalaachaarya's movies. Though Namitha had to shed lot of weight in this movie, Jaya Malini, Jaya Malini dhaan. We also have Jothi lakshmi, yesteryear item queen casting as Nami's mom. For those who doesn't know about the story, we have Nami - Raja as lovers in the past, Nami will be killed by Raja's relatives. Madam takes a revenge after death. But now Raja will be in love with Nila. Who wins the battle is the story! The director blindly trusted on Namitha who can bring audience to this movie but he has chosen a wrong film to remake. It's a pain in the wrong place for die hard fanatics of Namitha.

This one that I am going to point is perhaps the Eiffel tower! Yes, it's the different man, Sivagiri! Holy christ, can a movie erupt laughter in the title card? Sivagiri does. Opening scene for the Macho Man, will defintely make you fall from the seat and roll on the floor and you need someone to control your laughter. Story about two men, one will be on a revenge mode and other obviously tries to save or defend. Well one guy is supposed to be an IPS with waist size scoring an half century and the other guy is a scientist. Now who is the good guy and who is the bad guy? I guess since the hero comes in the kakki uniform is the good guy, oh yes, I forgot to tell you that he is an IPS in the movie. You know something, first ever in Indian cinema, the IPS officer comes as a college student for an OPERATION KINO :-P The bad guy goes to an extent of making bio weapon. Did I tell about what the revenge is all about? National integrity? He wanted to kill the guy who married a girl whom he had a crush in the past! He goes to the extreme of making bio weapons. Holy Christ!!!

I promise many would wanted to watch this movie on seeing the posters on the road side. Yes, I am talking about 'Madhavi', the homely looking women in her bathroom costume poster! Well, for those who watched because of the posters, same pinch :-P The story is closely looped to K.B's classic 'Moondru Mudichu'. Please don't scold me, it's seriously have a similar or kinda similar plot. Well you don't have a role played by Kamal in 'Moondru Mudichu' but we have Rajni, Sri Devi and Rajni' dad. The anti hero's acting is more than enough to call this movie a piece of crap!

Hero - Heroine misunderstanding. Love blossoming between them. Deciding to marry. Girl's father against the marriage. Sending henchmen to kill the hero. Hero somehow escapes from them. Hero loses his girl. Hero dies/finds another girl/becomes mentally retarded. This theory of basic equation fits a movie called 'Nesi' where the director chooses the option C in the climax and has taken the movie from the climax to give a flash back feel. THE MOVIE IS A TRASH. PERIOD.
