Biggboss Tamil

I didn’t watch Bigboss Tamil when it had started. I don’t exactly remember the reason why I went back to it but it was the week of #Harathi got evicted. From the time I got on to it I was hooked onto it.

Mr. Kamal Haasan is a legend. A master of many arts as I had read somewhere. He is widely known to be an intellectual whose appetite for knowledge is insatiable. If that were so there is little doubt that the amount of research the man would have put into understanding the concept behind bigg boss (or the original franchise with its orwellian name - big brother). I want to believe that he knows what he's doing and his belief in goodness.

I don’t know Oviya and the kind of person she really is but from what I have seen, I like her. She showed us people that even though she was made of many things good and bad, just like the rest of us, she controlled the bad as much as she could. I felt that at the very end, more than anything else, she was scared that the devil might slip out. You have to give it to her...She did what many of us wished we did in our daily lives. As Oviya says “it's not easy”

The other thing is I became an active twitter reader off late. I’m simply amazed by the sheer number of people who wants Oviya to win. In a way the truth and the good to win. We don’t know if it's all scripted or not but either ways we, the people, cheered for Oviya because of what she stood for - the good, truthfulness and love. Even though at the end you might have (I definitely did) felt that she was losing it, you cheered on. Again it was not easy for us but we did it because we want the good to win. It is nothing less than an amazing reassurance about people.

During one of the days I was thinking about this concept of continuous surveillance and how that would affect us all if we are subject to that. I was wondering if we in our minds think that we are being constantly watched would we lose our instinctive behavior. In the case of biggboss - You can call the cameras as the eyes of god or higher authority or our very own subconscious. The host a messiah or just a friend and the people are the ultimate being, the gods.

Will we be honest and truthful at all times? Simply put, If we know that if we speak ill about someone and that person will know will we still speak ill. Will we do ill to others? We still might in the beginning but the greater question perhaps is will we evolve?

We are nothing but an evolved animal and even after millions of years we still retain these characteristics. The society or the social group has helped us to set rules which on a very high level is divided into the Good and the Bad. The rules becomes the Law and the law clearly states the “Do Not” on one side and puts everything else on the other. But we know, inside us, there are god like characteristics - truthful, cheerful, courageous, affectionate, loving etc & a devil - liar, pervert, bully, racist, angry etc.

Will we try and let out the god, the laughter, the truth more out than the devil. From the way the people have cheered Oviya, I believe we can.

Decorating your Apartment? Part One (Tips from So You Wanna Guyz)

You finally have a place to call your own. A crib. A pad. A love nest. You're not sure what to call it, but it's better than your parents' house, and it's all yours. The only problem is, it's kind of empty. And you want to fill it with stuff so you can, like, have a party and impress your friends. And a little feng shui to bring you some luck couldn't hurt either. But you're no Martha Stewart (thank God), you don't have a lot of money, and you're also kind of busy. That's where we come in.

First off, first apartment decor - or first dorm room decor for that matter - doesn't have to be limited to beer posters and stackable storage crates. With a little imagination and the benefit of our guidance, you can put together a place you're proud of without breaking the bank. Just be sure to thank us by inviting us to your housewarming party. We'll bring the salsa.

Since many first digs are smaller than closets and darker than medieval dungeons (sorry, we're a little bitter), it helps to know how to play down your apartment's bad points. Then take a look around your new surroundings and make a list of its aesthetic pros and cons. Does it have big windows but low ceilings? Great wood floors but a boxy, square feel? While emphasizing positive qualities takes little or no effort, counteracting undesirable elements is a bit harder. Here's some help:

One-room living (studios and dorm rooms)
Dark rooms
Tiny rooms
Boxy rooms
Low ceilings

One-room living (studios and dorm rooms)

You eat there, you sleep there, you watch Who Wants to be a Millionaire? there - all in that one, single, solitary room. Can you say "stir crazy?" While studios and dorm rooms can be a bit claustrophobic, they suck a lot less if they're pleasing to the eye and well arranged. With single-room living spaces, you have two options. You can either keep the room as spacious and open as possible, or you can divide it into areas of activity by using screens and/or large pieces of furniture that appear to "section off" one area from the next. Depending on the size of your place, the décor you choose and your lifestyle (whether or not you'll be doing a lot of work there, entertaining often, etc.), you can decide which option is better for you. Either way, be sure to keep it simple. Limit your color palette, and avoid clutter and excess furniture. Consider getting a two-in-one piece like a sofa bed or a futon to save space.

Dark rooms

No, not rooms where you develop your photos, silly. We mean rooms that resemble prehistoric caves. Don't know what time of day it is until you go outside? Well, brighten up dark rooms with light-colored walls, sheer curtains and plenty of plants. Mirrors also help by reflecting light and limiting the appearance of shadows. Opt for blinds instead of shades on your windows, and choose minimal lampshades with a translucent effect.

Tiny rooms

We can relate to the shoebox syndrome. Go with pale, cool colors, and fill the space with as little furniture as possible. Instead of a free-standing bookcase, for instance, try a shelf that's mounted to the wall with brackets. Also, if your room is really small, avoid busy patterns on items like curtains, tablecloths and bedspreads.

Boxy rooms

Adding character to a boxy room is fun because you get to break all the rules. The key is to create a focal point in the room. Paint one wall a different color than the rest, or hang up a funky mural or tapestry. Other focal point ideas include an attention-grabbing piece of furniture, or a ceiling covered with gauzy fabric and stick-on stars.

Low ceilings

Feel like the sky is falling? Raise the roof by using up-tilting lamps to cast as much light on it as possible. Paint the ceiling a shimmery, satiny, pale color, and do the walls one or two shades darker. Draw attention to the bottom half of the room with floor cushions, interesting rugs and low-to-the-ground seating.

I went for some shopping and got back home to realise I was penniless, and the instrument that gives access the ATM is not there and the bunch of keys that let me into my compound and my house and the little currency I had just slipped away into oblivion...anyways thanks to my tribal instincts I went into my house through the window and got the spare key. So I had a roof over my head. Since I am still in love with the work I do I got back home in the wee hours and there I find the gate locked and my land lady fast asleep oblivious to the door bell. I have made some useful relationship here so got some place to sleep for the night.

What do you expect to have happened the next day... I came back home to find the gate locked again..and me being too good don't want to wake ppl so tried my gate and bruised my knee and was still outside the gate. Then I jumped in the neighbours( yeah I did that) compound (well if they found me I would have been mince meat) and into the security of my four walls.

Well next day I like a good girl confessed to my landlady and she made a duplicate key for me.
