Hi friends
It is nice to meet u all back in blog! nice to know u like to blog with your English teacher. For this posting i wd like to discuss about the latest sensation(or isn't it now)slumdog millionaire. by now most of u wd have seen the movie. apart from indians getting oscars, i want your honest comment abt the movie and compare it with tamil movie on similar theme 'naan kadavul'. i havenot seen bala's movie yet, but i have heard it is dark. i personally felt slumdog was a typical hindi 'feel-good' movie, very superficial lacking depth but still entertaining. what is your views? did u read ur juniors' views? do u agree with them? pls feel free to comment.

presentation
dear friends
i wd like to all students to post comments on all topics. i see only 10 comments. why is it so? This week topics have been assigned for presentation. hope you have started working on your topic. i expect students scheduled on monday and tuesday to be ready with ur material by friday. if possible as we are working even on saturday u can come and check whether audio visual material is working in the lab.
This week discussion topic:
What is essential for an effective presentation? Pls give ur comments as this will be useful for ur friends when they are presenting.
Personally i feel brief content can be made interesting if it is presented well. Delivery makes the difference. you can give ur personal comments on what aspect is more important for effective presentation.

group discussion skills
Hi friends
it was interesting reading your comments. karthik u can definitely comment on others' views. that is the main idea of this blog. i cd agree with many of ur view points. Dasavatharam though i didn't hate it on the whole, it was narcisstic and did not need 10 roles. but i cdn't trash it completely. i commented on this movie because as teacher of English we were analysing for text and subtext. for an atheist, who hates God, this was a movie which glorifies God. kabhi alvida na kehna - definitely joins the list. There are many such dumb movies. there were few who were giving comments like as so much money is invested i don't want to say anything bad abt movies, which i think ridiculous. it is like 'emperor's new clothes' if u dont tell the truth such ppl will inflict similar movies on us. With so much money as investment they shd take care with all aspects of movie making.
This week i wd like u all to comment on the group discussion u participated. how was the experience? did u learn anything new abt ur group members?

movie u hated!
Hi guys
I read thru your comments. It was quite interesting and I thank you all for ur appreciation. I hope u all will co-operate to make our lab classes interesting as only with your comments blog becomes interesting.
Sheeba & Alice got the chr’s complete names – how did u two get?
Many of u found jamila not very interesting – true she does come across very flat but is she over acting? By the way the French girl’s name is Danielle not Daniel(that is boy’s name)
Karthik has asked whether this cd be viewed thru projector but swaminathan’s comment answers this suggestion. He says he found it comprehensible as it was clear thru headphones.
Janani, English man will be bemused by our pronunciation of English itself not our languages.
Karthick krishna’s and ram mad on Hollywood(?) give their `1000 apologies
Who is phenom? And why did u list Taro,Anna Schmith ,Juan Cervantes,Chung Su- as negative?
Prashanth’s comment is good – mind ur language helps us to mind our language
Soman’s suggestion of middle east is a gd idea and Senthil raj? Lateral entry?
This week
Many of you have commented about ‘Mind your Language’ not being a great comedy. Some of you infact found few scenes very annoying. Can you share about a movie that was appreciated by masses but you found it irritating. For example ‘chandramukhi’ was one movie which was liked by many people. I found it very badly made movie with clichéd scenes and revolting comedy. It fared very bad when compared with the Malayalam original Similarly can each one give about ur choice of over-hyped movies.
