Of Canuck Relationships and preferences

When I came to Canada I was under the impression that Indian women are highly regarded and  sought after in Canada because they are well educated, cultured, have good culinary skills...self boasting .. I know :). But I was in for a surprise..... I came to know that white guys don’t really give a second look to Indian girls. Guys who pursue Indian women are mostly from the Caribbean :)Now I know why i like Chris Gayle....
I remember the first time I went for lunch with my colleagues in Toronto. One woman announced that she recently got divorced. And with that conversation I found out that all the women at the table were divorced with the exception of me and another girl whose fiancee backed off before the wedding. That conversation scared me on the whole relationship aspect in this part of the world. Couple of unmarried guys i worked with told me that they have no intention of marrying because of the fear of paying huge alimonies.

Seven and Nila- Netflix review

I saw Seven over the weekend and thought it was good for a short movie. Most of all I was glad to see a good looking Tamil actor for a change. I am so tired of the all the ugly Tamil actors that i have pretty much stopped watching Tamil movies.
However more than the actor, I liked the performances of Nanditha and Regina. I am impressed by both actresses and feel that they should be getting better movies with this movie. I did not like Regina before because of how she came to be known as a lookalike of Ileana but hey she is better that Ileana. I like Ileana but she does not know how to act but Regina does a good job I must say.
Its a pretty ok - once to watch show.

Nila was another movie I came across through my desperate searches to watch something worthwhile on Netflix. The actor is funny :) but i guess he just played the character he was supposed to. The actress was pretty and did her role well. What i did not like in the story as to  - there was no reason to what the female lead did what she did and why she did even though she did like what she was doing. Movie was kind of realistic but not enough to engage a viewer.
