He was an awesome actor and had added a specific attitude to the character. Why didn't his character reach the audience as much as Michelle did?
This question popped up after seeing ovarian cancer as a plot twist for Radhi to earn back the love and trust she lost with Reena and Vijay.
When Vijay - Radhi - Dev plot was going on, I was a bit scared that writers would follow lazy writing and show one person as a villain, so it would be easy for Radhi to choose another one and still justify it. And I'm more than glad that it didn't happen that way and the plot was maturely handled.
Now with everything against Radhi, I was more interested to see how they'd resolve all the issues one by one. And boom, the lazy writing entered. Now everyone will be sympathetic towards Radhi and all the earlier issues would become inexistent. Though I badly didn't want this to happen and I want people to talk their emotions out, fight over it then reconcile and bond, I'm afraid it would just be a sympathetic way now.
It's just my opinion and such tracks in movies too are a major turn off.
Bringing in an accident to unite the lovers (அலைபாயுதே)
Third character just for a jealous track.
Making one the complete villain to make the choices easy.
Though these are plot drivers, but using these tropes hides the actual issue under the rug and people just unite, which is not I want to happen with Heartbeat.
I'm oscillating between the two choices I have.
Stay in the current remote role and fear layoffs
Or move to a new role in the city for a 12% hike.
Other points to note :
The current org is continuously laying off. But the severance is a good package.
I am continuously applying (even with referrals). Not many are converting to recruiter calls. Even if they did, most of them couldn't match my current comp. And I flunked some of the really good ones.
I have switched multiple times already. Soi have to be mindful of my next switch as I cannot afford another short stint.
Please help me decide team.
​
Now my org is undergoing restructuring and there's equal chance of my role being a part of it in the near future (3-6 months).
Now I got an offer from another org. The role is kinda step down but the salary is on par with my current one and the future too looks good in terms of industry, roles and responsibilities.
I applied to multiple other orgs, resume got selected, but unfortunately I couldn't convert them. Also
I have made multiple switches in my career and the max I have stayed in an org is 2.5 years.
So I'm not sure if I should go with the current offer I have or wait in the same role and try for better opportunities. The issue is I cannot afford another quick switch due to my inconsistency earlier. So I cannot afford to make mistakes in this switch.
Also since I couldn't crack some of my dream jobs, there's an inherent fear that I'm not good enough for the role so I should better take what I have.
What's the way to go?
Stay in the current role and prepare for better roles (in spite of layoff fear)
Go with the other offer (though it's not what I expected).
Currently watching Vadhandhi 2.
And one of the police is supposed to speak in Tirunelveli accent (correct me if that's wrong) because he's from that place.
Now I just couldn't follow what he's saying and I'm completely relying on subtitles.
So in a moral trade off, how much do we expect native representation at the cost of user experience? Is it okay if everyone speaks in normal Tamil, so everyone can follow.
P.S : this is no community hatred. I come from a community which has its own accent and I couldn't stand (or understand) that too.
The new RK hospital team has earned their spot in the series. It doesn't feel like a miscast anymore.
Loving the banter between Rocky and Manasa.
Kathir is slowly growing on me and would love to see him more.
Gayathri is a great addition but whenever I see her and Reena together, they almost look the same age. Maybe she might have a backstory too of any failed relationship and why she is single still.
Though the final scene with Arjun and Madhu looked cute, the college portions were a bit stecth and doesn't fit into the flow. Can't shake the thought of this ending up as another Kiran - Nilofer unwanted track.
Radhi is yet to be explored, not enough character range yet. So I'll wait for it.
Possible match mixups that could be interesting:
Rocky - Madhu
Arjun - Amala
I was allotted an emergency seat in the flight near the airhostess sitting area.
Flight land aanadhuku aprm when I was packing my book, she enquired about it, like what's the book name, do I like reading etc. Naanum avanga kitta keten, her preference and authors she likes. Then she said she doesn't read these days because she doesn't get enough time.
Then the topic got diverted and she told about her work, how she wanted to be a model, her parents said no, so ended up here and there's no way going back and she started making peace with it.
Then we talked about being in the service industry, dealing with people always. She said she is an introvert and now she's forced to be an extrovert.
Also she has just a single day off and this is her second session for the day and she still has two more. She never gets a chance to go home etc.
Meanwhile she got called by a passenger for help, she then again came back and asked me to continue where she left off. I told her about my reason for travel and she wished me luck.
Avlo dha.
I work in a job with near to 0 human interaction and it felt like a good wholesome conversation when people were just ranting. Also it felt like a confirmation that I'm not really an introvert as much as I think I am.
Just felt how the grass is so much greener on the other side until you are on the other side.
Pala varuda kanavu.
Innaiku first round of interview. Idhu vara ivlo nervous ah irundhadhu illa. Ella interviews um casual ah dha attend pannen. Innaiku edho do or die maari thonudhu. Pray for me friends.
Just coming back after seeing the promo with Arjun and Reena. I badly want the story to stay with Reena and how she navigates her relationships, and am not really onboard with a separate track for Arjun.
Why can't we accept that some people are temporary in our lives? I see a lot of people wanting Arjun and Reena to unite. But why can't it be like he's someone who gave Reena the courage to fight for her relationships and moved on. Also Reena is someone who course corrected Arjun's path and moved on.
I'm tired of seeing all the love stories as Kaaviya kaadhal and people getting united at the end, one way or another. It's okay to move on. It's okay to embrace the pain, learn from it and still move into a new chapter.
Just my thoughts. Open for healthy disapprovals.
I recently watched the movie "Lockdown" and really loved how Anupama's friend stood by her from the start to the end of her survival story, without any judgement. And it reminded me of my girl gang when she said "Naa iruken la"
And that reminded me of how much we do not see any female friendships as much as we see male friendships like girls laughing together, shouldering each other, navigating misunderstanding or just being with them throughout their life.
Some of the other movies I remember
Bad Girl (Ramya - Selvi)
Neethane En Ponvasantham (Nithya - Jenny, it's so wholesome to see them starting from school to their wedding)
Lockdown
Please throw in some suggestions to compile a list.
Just wrapped up the series and God, I love Amy so much.
It was the initial meet cutes between Amy and Jonah that got me invested in the series and the dialogue - "Tomorrow will be just like today and how do I know that? Because today is just like yesterday". You cannot not want to watch a series after such words.
Coming to Amy, I loved how she was so dependable, organised keeps everything under control (at least tries too). It was so wholesome until her divorce but I lost interest post she and Jonah got together ( some series have this curse where once the leads get together, it stops being interesting).
But I really loved the finale season. Her dilemma in choosing Jonah was so obvious. She "had to" marry Adam because she was pregnant and now she again "has to" marry Jonah because he's leaving everything behind him for her and moving to a completely new city. Her decision was so justified and it was so "Amy", thinking through all the possibilities and picking the safe one.
And I'm glad they were reunited too as she now knows she doesn't "have to" marry him, but she "wants to".
Started watching the series recently and I'm not sure if I missed any cues.
The leadership team has gathered to plot the layoff and everyone can smell it from far away and Blind is completely filled with this information.
I would like to know from the experienced folks - what should be done before the layoff, how will the job search strategy change once you are laid off, anything to be mindful about during the transition?
Though I'm prepared mentally, I couldn't hide the nervousness. Please share any checklist to successfully come out of this.
Thanks.

Came across a post on this sub, asking for some dad - daughter/ son relationship movies.
When I thought about the other spectrum, movies on mom, I could only think of mom - son movies like VIP, Raam, M Kumaran etc.
Do we even have any movies portraying the love between mom and daughter?
Why is this not talked about?
