Aruvi- a heart-touching tale

 Aruvi (2017)


Cast: Aditi Balan, Anjali Varadhan

Director: Arun Prabhu


Synopsis: Aditi stars as Aruvi, a bubbly, enthusiastic girl having a close family who grows to become a sunny, carefree daddy's girl until one fateful incident after which her family shoos her away.



 Aruvi is a masterpiece of an out-of-the-box thinker. The social anguish of a rebellious young woman is rightly expressed here. Anjali Varadhan plays exceptionally well. It is a bundle of emotion and joy. One is taken on a roller coaster of life, undoubtedly a bumpy one. It is definitely not happy. It takes us through a journey of compassion, The name Aruvi fits the protagonist's personality and the film perfectly. 


Aruvi is broken but firm, chaotic but calm, brave but fearful, an angel but a devil. 


Aditi Balan is surely the best person to portray this role. Her display of emotions when her doting dad suddenly starts hating her to the core is very realistic. Perhaps no debutant would want a better debut. 

The film is a hit-the-head-hard, thought-provoking one and is very unique too. A highly recommended must-watch for everyone! If you are wanting a sensitive, social film, then this is the right one for you.

Thank you!

Throughout almost two years of Fledgling, you might have read about several people and places. This is my story. Since childhood, I have always been an ambitious child who yearned and burned with the passion to create an identity for myself. I was a sensitive child too, often bullied for my complexion. Though academic life was always a breeze, my social life has always struggled for stability and it still does. My conversations are rarely with people and my peers have always been in the form of a paper and pen. I needed something. My only comfort was music and literature. I delved deep into the literary universe and soon found myself intoxicated with the solace it gave me. Immersing myself in books and listening to other stories did help me take the weight off my mind, but these emotions, filled with inferiority, often overwhelmed my tiny brain and pushed them out in tears. It threatened to dangerously gnaw away at my confidence, which I could not afford to do at any cost. ...

The first shower

I sit beside my window My eyes gazing at the clouds up above Dark and heavy as Earth Ah, and the fresh smell of parched earth Laced with the subtle scent of petrichor Awakens the playful child within I reach my arm out And feel tiny droplets hugging my skin The moisture oozing in To quench the thirst of the parched soil Droplets of pure blessings and joy The cool breeze caresses my cheek And ruffles my hair playfully Dragging along dark heavy clouds A cool blanket to snuggle in The sweet scent of mango blossoms Adds a pinch of delight to the air Every drop echoes a ripple Leaving a legacy of its own I sprint across the moist meadow My feet sloshing in the dewy grass I twirl like a dewy petal In pure happiness and bliss While the heavens pour their grudges And watch the thirsty saplings Greedily gulp down mouthfuls And their hearts gladden The drops of blessings of nature. As I gaze at the grieving skies A tiny droplet trickles down my cheek And the ...

Our last day at Kodaikanal

Good morning! It is Day 3! What's up? We are already preparing to leave the hotel. It is around 7:30 in the morning and we will be checking out within half an hour and embark on the last leg of our journey. I took one last stroll around the vertical garden, the room and my favorite spots. I was leaving with a heavy heart, I knew. This was our last day at this beautiful place and today will write my final memories in this place. And? We boarded the cab to spend our day seeing the last few attractions saved for the last of our trip. Our first spot was quite far away - about 35 kilometres away from our hotel. We were headed towards Poombarai, a beautiful hamlet in the outskirts of Kodaikanal. This wasn't just a spot - it was once home to the notorious Seevalaperi Pandi, a Tirunelveli goon who once was the king of headlines in the 1980s.  This hamlet had a lot in store for us - beautiful carrot and garlic plantations dotting the borders of the hills. The villages...
