Taare Zameen Par.



This movie, the way it was taken just took my breath away. The story is fabulous, it touches your heart so much that you leave the movie with a lot of things going through your head and a lot of emotion in your heart.

Hats off to Aamir Khan for not making any movie that comes his way. This movie deserves all the accolades possible. But, the real star of the movie was that young kid, Darsheel Safary. What a brilliant portrayal by him, he makes you smile and cry at the drop of a hat..

If you have not seen this movie yet please go out and watch it. It's fantastic.. Don't look for some dramatic story or any high flying action. Just appreciate the message that they are trying to convey. It's beautiful...

Probably my last blog of the year.. -- Random Musing

Hmm..

Well I've been quite moody lately.. Don't know what's going on but, well have been snapping at people more than normal... Have been a lot more on edge.. Well, I guess it happens from time to time...

There are times when I feel a lot less moody and am quite Sociable, this is one of those moments I guess, 'caus I'm taking the time to write this blog.. There have been a few people I have snapped at over the last few days.. Not really their fault.. I've noticed one fact about me when I'm in this state.. I either tend to get a lot of work done or do absolutely nothing, just sleep.. Man, I'm a guy of extremes..

Well the New year is on our head.. I started this year with a huge revelation to my folks and a few weeks of sheer torture before the dust started to settle and there was not hiding anymore.. But then before I knew it I was on a flight to the US of A. To a new world with new experiences and well, I'm not really embarrassed to say it but, yeah, I did shed a few tears on that flight, in that airport.. I was leaving behind everyone in my life who meant anything to me.. If you read my blog you know by now who I am talking about.. My family.. My girl, my sis, my folks and a few close friends.. I don't know, feels like I've been here so long, but it's just been 8 1/2 months...

I thought I'd adjust to this world quite easily.. Little did I realize just how much I would miss a certain someone.. Well, thank God for calling cards.. They are a life saver... And now, all I am looking forward to is April, when I go home for 2 weeks to see everyone and to name certain relationships and etch them in stone forever and ever.

Well world.. Wish your 2007 was fruitful.. Hope 2008 is a great year.. Happy New Year!

Chill and Take care..

Why watch movies?

Why do we watch movies? Why do we spend 2 hours watching fiction?

Different people have different reasons... Well most just like to spend a few hours lost in a fictional world marveling in the wonders of story telling.

There are those of us who enjoy seeing things blown up or watching movies about wars or maybe just mindless killing.

But honestly, which are the movies that really touch your heart. They are the movies about Human interaction, movies about relationships, Good or bad, the way the relationships are portrayed are what capture our imagination.

I love watching movies about the human spirit, or movies about relationships, I admit that movies about love capture my imagination more than others because I find them easier to relate to... But a movie good when I pulls you in and makes you feel a part of the story or makes it easy for you to find your story in the movie.

There are so many times when I watch a movie where there are scenes that I think were so wonderful, seems just like me and my girl. But that's just me..

I still enjoy a movie that makes you laugh from start to finish, those movies are meant to forget your troubles for a few hours and just be lost in the moment.

But movies and the stories they convey are more than just entertainment at times, they can be quite therapeutic if they make you laugh, cry or remember your emotions for a few hours they make you whole again in this hard nosed corporate world.

Well that's my opinion anyway..

PS. If you are wondering.. Yes, I wrote this blog just after watching a movie...
