A Little North Of Normality

Not of the minds....Yes inspite of the mind blowing aesthetics of SLB and the awe inspiring sets used Saawariya lacks the final push that makes a block buster differ from a petty average...The film is really a treat to watch with the brilliance of light and shade and the exquisite display of antic jewelery and chiffon... Soonam is too sweet but her dialog throws are quite faint and as shy as the character itself..Ranbir adds glamour but its actually "gulabji"...Rani who adds a tinge of vintage SLB to the movie... The songs are the best part of the movie...And overall it was worth the bucks but you do not come out of the hall feeling happy...The final happy ending or "Picture abhi baki hai bhai" theory does seem to amuse SLB much...For me it was just a good m ovie but sorry to say cannot add a brilliant tag to it....Poetic brilliance and great sense of showmanship might pull it through to match the budget a hit in Bollywood is still far from the sweet Sonaam and mach...

I confess that the camera was a bit to bad to be takin pictures with but sorry my dad wouldn let me touch the better ones....;( Anyways try to figure out whatever you can from this stills..... Supposed to be some sort of lightwork...Too smoky for me so I stayed out...behind the lens... Me with a conch shell which i tried a lot to play but am still trying without any success.... The flame of a dimming candle on Kali Puja... One more of those......... Goddess Kali in all grandeur......

Cannot wait for friday to come....Sawaariya and Om Shanti Om....It will be a real diwali bash..Inspite of all the difficulty managed to sn eak two Saawariya tickets in CC.....Me and my mom sorry do not have someone else to go with :) Saturday will be OSO for me at a cheap hall with a pal of mine and to be very frank i am just to excited..Can't wait to lay my eyes on King Khan..The music is already become my bathroom anthem but the movie hope will be even better...The house-full tags in both halls displaying Saawariya And OSO all promise a real clash of the Titans...On one hand we have The Rawalpindi express whistling towards the real master on the pitch while in the reel world its Bhansali's magic with debutants and SRK's wizardy with the gorgeous Deepika.... 6 packs or towel whatever you call it this year the biggest blockbuster just has a day more to be awaited for.....its gonna be awesome and be it cobwebs or dobly digital that i see it in will surely have caught both ...

Happy Diwali......The festival Of Lights is back again and i am off to my "mamar bari"...The grand celebration of the festival there with all family and friends is really an integral part of my life...The preparations have already started and the fun is yet to begin..With India Pakistan match providing the an auspicious introduction to festivity we can all expect some bedazzling display of crackers and diyas..... The true sense of the festival lies not in the display of power and authority but also in the ability to light up the hearts of nears and dear ones....its farewell to the awaited "debi pokkho" and the beggining of "Pitri Pokkho " from Saturday....... Next year I will be in 12...The career demons will be over looking my destiny but I still profess that may all be fine and " Asche bochor Abaar Hobe".......

Well I had to read this on the influence of a friend who kept pestering me a lot..but i would not as i had heard lots of warning about it...Most told me its too disturbing and gross but well i would still say Thanks mate ...That you asked me to read this cause i would have surely missed something had i not lapped through this amazing novel.Its the most amazing and powerful novel I have ever read and it sure left an indelible mark in my mind... The story not only made me cry but also through every page i realised how riches can turn rags one day but the only that thing remains in a man is his conscience ...sense of contentment...Money and Position are nothing but the infringements of those exploiters who ravish us everywhere in life but the true sense of love, compassion and guilt is something pure and divine above all such lowly cribs. The story is touching and Amir and Hassan really make you feel that relations are not always about what a person is but rather what a person means to y...
