Dasavatharam - More of K.S.Ravikumar movie than of Kamal's The movie is a masala movie with too much of bad graphics.

They call this movie trend as butterfly effect. You know what is happening, but cant predic...

I feel like following a long followed tradition for the first time. When most of my friends started writing blogs, I didn't know what it is for. When I knew, I don't have the time for it. Let me see if I am able to dedicate some time for this. I will be completing 25 years of my life in a month. Quarter century has passed by. No one knows how many left. Hard work and live your life. Thanks for reading my first blog, though nothing useful.
