Sugar as ussual

Will I be cutting sugar now that it cost 25cents more?. This was a poll being carried out by the star online.
Sugar is an essential item for most people and maybe for some its just a ‘no’ item. . Someone who loves coffea probably will have kopi o (coffee without sugar) or kopi kurang manis (coffee with less sugar) or kopi biasa (coffee with normal sugar). And no matter what price you have to pay for sugar, people are going to have coffee as per their preference stated above. So I think its not going to matter if it is going to cost a bit more now since most people will be able to adjust to the price. Perhaps people in business probably would feel the pinch. Like those in confectionery etc.  It would be unlikely they would want to reduce the sugar to make confectionery since the taste will be different. Follow the recipe right?

Raavanan 2010 - Review

Release Date: 18 June 2010
Language: Tamil
Genre: Action
Running Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
Director: Mani Ratnam
Music: AR Rahman
Cast: Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, Prithviraj, Prabhu, Karthik, Munna.

Synopsis: Raavanan is a modern day adaptation of the great Indian epic Ramayana, which tells the story of Rama (Prithviraj), whose wife Sita (Aishwarya Rai) is abducted by the demon king (Vikram) king of Lanka, Ravana.


The movie was somewhat high quality but ‘eccentric’. I was not feeling bored. Yet, it is not the kind of movie that will keep you glued on and not wanting to miss any scenes.  (At least for me, I went outside to grab something to eat and eat because the cinema was hall was damn cold!)
This movie is for those who can understand the artistic and intrinsic value. It’s an awesome, creative and realistic movie which touches on psychology, the human mind and emotions. There is just no one clear divide between evil and good. Like the mist in the harsh forest, your psychic are blurred and confused. Was it love between Ragini and Raavanan?. I think not, its probably one way love from Raavanan and sympathy from Ragini!. Here is why. Ragini asked God to give her strength to be remain in  anger and not succumb to her captors kindness; she was willing to exchange her self to stay on so that her husbands life will be spared and finally she only returned to look for Raavanan, to get an explanation and truth from him on her husbands allegations about her chastity!. It is certainly a very loose adaptation from the Ramayana story. No disappointment and worth the sacrifice missing the World Cup Match between Uruguay and Ghana that evening. Honestly speaking, for this sort of Tamil movie is what i will find time to watch in the cinemas. If anyone wants to watch it, just say no to piracy and watch it only on the big screen.
