Kannammaa Writes

  One line review: Dude tries to please both progressive and regressive audiences and fails at both - while succeeding at being shallow. 1. A woman proposes and the man she proposes to cracks a bawdy joke. Progressive: Woman proposing - appeals to progressive audience. Regressive: Man uses a blue film reference to the kneeling position  - appeals to regressive male audience. 2. Kural proposes marriage to Agan without even asking if he has mutual feelings for her. She assumes that he loves her because he's her first cousin. I saw this in Romeo Juliet as well. How can people assume such things? It's like an arranged marriage setup - everything works presumptuously.  3. Nuptial thread isn't important - what's important is the girl's heart behind the thread - then proceeds with a dialogue that yarn can't thread a needle without the needle's consent. Honestly, it was exhausting and confusing at the same time. The film tries too hard to round up divisive audiences...

 Trigger Warning: Graphic Descriptions. Reader Discretion is Advised 🌸 My Ordeal at 19 At the age of 19, just as I was taking my pre-university public exams, mysterious symptoms emerged from my unknown disease emerged. I couldn’t walk, and write properly – and constant body ache, tremors, and joint pains beleaguered me. I wrote the exam in the hospital with great difficulty – my beautiful penmanship was reduced to vague scribbles. As I didn’t get better after hospitalization, my extended family were convinced that I was possessed, not ill. They took me to various small temples to be “exorcised.” For now, my exam result was put in the backseat as I was taken to temple after temple. ⛪ The Exorcising Rituals Priests get into a trance in those temples, and they perform exorcising rituals. So, I was subjected to various “rituals” like: • Walking wearing slippers embedded with nails 👣 • Beatings using a lash 🪢 • Cutting my hair ✂️ • Hosing me down in the middle of the night 💦 • ...

So this friend of mine, a tall, fair guy 👨, grew up in a family that bragged non-stop. His parents would always say “engaluku male kids dhan, relatives ellam aasai paduraanga.” Basically, their pride was that they alone had sons while all their siblings had only daughters. From that, he grew up entitled. Always acting like an “aanalagan” — as if girls were after him. He never had a single girlfriend in school, college, or work though. Still, when it came to marriage, he rejected girl after girl. His dream girl? An architect, raised in a house with grandparents. 🙄 He finally got married. At that time, he wasn’t even earning. Just running an “architecture firm” with his brother and parents’ money. Meanwhile, his wife 👩 was independent, working, and earning steadily. Within 8 months, she got pregnant 🤰. That’s when the drama started. He suddenly called me and another friend saying there’s a problem. He complained his wife was “acting too much” and staying at her father’s place. ...

Priyasakhi one-liner plot: An overgrown male baby couldn't leave his mom and family - but still wants a wife and a kid, villainizing her for wanting an independent life with him. Yep, the whole movie is a big pain in the neck. But the climax takes the cake for being the biggest pain in the a$$. So, toward the end, Priya (Sada), realizes that she loves her daughter and couldn't abandon her, going through with the divorce and full child custody to Sakhi (Madhavan) and his family. When she says that she can't leave her 3 month old daughter, Sakhi says the absurdity of the Indian family system. "You feel pain for leaving your child you gave birth to only 3 months ago. I'm 30. You tried to separate me from my family. How much pain I must have felt?" Hello, didn't Priya leave her family after marrying Sakhi? If men can't leave their families after becoming a married adult, just marry your family - not a woman. Lol, equating himself - a grown a$$ man who beca...

In conversations around divorce and alimony, there’s a new, patronizing trend of men listing “non-financial contributions” as if they’re the unsung heroes of family life. Things like driving to the pharmacy, offering “rational advice,” fixing appliances, or carrying emotional burdens are suddenly framed as noble sacrifices that deserve compensation. Let’s be honest: this isn’t labor. This is ego management. This isn’t caregiving. It’s PR spin. These aren’t daily, grueling, essential responsibilities—they’re occasional tasks inflated into self-importance by a system that’s always been biased in men's favor. And here’s the kicker: none of this would be necessary if men hadn’t created an unsafe, unequal world in the first place. 🚩 1. “Ensuring safety” – Against whom, exactly? Men claim they protect women and children from danger. But statistically, who is the danger? Other men. You don’t get to play both arsonist and firefighter and then demand applause. 🔥👨‍🚒 Women are the ...
