Poo Movie Review

By Siddhartha
Nesagee Cinema’s latest offering “Poo” is an adaptation of the short story “Veyyilodu Poi” written by S. Tamizhselvan. Director Sasi who had given hit films like Sollamale, Roja Kootam and Dishyum has tried his hand in a story that is very realisitic and rustic in nature. The credit has to be given to the director for choosing such a subject but when it comes down to the screenplay a lot is left to be desired especially when the final product falls in the genre of commercial cinema.

Mari (Debutant in tamil cinema “Parvathy”) is head over heels in love with her maternal uncle’s son Thangarasu (Srikanth) right from her childhood and her ambition in life is to marry thangarasu. The director had decided to give the viewer a realistic potrayal of the mindset of a village girl who spends most of her time thinking about her sweetheart. The screenplay revolves mainly around Mari that the movie literally stands out for the performance of the new comer Parvathy. The actors in the movie have lived their charecters as each and every member of the star cast have given a wonderful performance.

Parvathy potrays the charecter assigned to her with finesse that in certain scenes one really feels for her ignorance towards things happening to her and Srikanth as thangarasu infact plays second fiddle to parvathy in the scheme of things. Cinematographer P.G.Muthiah has captured the rustic looks of the villages perfectly as is the Art director K. Veerasamar who has made sure that his department adds more value to the final outcome. Music director S.S. Kumaran has also come up with a respectable score but one hopes that he has more to deliver in the future.

Director who had decided to make this movie on the Commercial genre should have given more importance to the screenplay as things tends to drag too much to the liking of the viewer. Though this movie is not the run-of-the-mill types but in certain periods one feels really let down towards the treatment given by the director.

On the whole a movie not for the masses but for the select audience and the critics who were waiting for a movie which stands out from the ordinary.

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

By
Going back to work is tough for any new parent, but the transition is especially difficult for those suffering from postpartum depression. (Remember, postpartum depression affects both women and men.) If you manage someone who has recently had a baby, pay close attention to how they’re doing — a parent’s struggle doesn’t always show on the outside. Some people may overcompensate by working too hard, while others may show a loss of enthusiasm. Familiarize yourself with the services your firm offers — which may include groups for working parents, health care coverage for counseling, or post-natal yoga or meditation classes — so that you can help your employee access support. Offer options such as flex time, telecommuting, gradual return, or peer mentoring. In fact, it’s a good idea to offer these things to all team members so that the new parent doesn’t feel singled out.

If Your Team Is Overwhelmed, What Can They Stop Doing?

By
Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
