Parineeta

So here's the review....Thanks to the Nachos,Cola and Corn we walked in about 5 minutes late to the movie hall.It had started off with some shaadi song by mamis and then you have Saif,looking older than usual, and his stern face walking away from his ex-lover,who is married but still desires him!So when he is advanced by her there is verbal abuse for the same and leaves her crying on the stairs.The movie sees debut of Vidya Balan(Iyer girl) in the movies.This woman carries a lot of confidence in her acting and she seems truly professional.I have noticed her twice in videos of Euphoria.The story is pretty ok,adapted from Saratchandra Chaterjee's novel,though its quite predictable.What one can enjoy is the classic feel,moving away from the modernism that we live in,this movie takes us back in time to life in havelis,vintage cars,purity in language,some amount of innocence!Sanjay Dutt as usual carries out his role in ease ,playing the character that almost breaks the relation between the 2 lovers.Then also comes in Diya Mirza,as usual with painful 'acting' as Saif's wanna-be.When Saif goes on to believe that the woman he loves/loved is married and imagines her to be living happily,he fails to try and understand the complete picture.We are then shown in the end that she is married to Saif himself and alive for him and none other!We have Rekha in the movie as the Moulin Rouge dance,does a very good job as ever,Raima Sen was passable too.The Calcutta setting seems almost perfect and the music by Shantanu Moitra,pretty good.The best numbers being "Piya bole..." and "Kaisi Paheli zindagani".The costumes were noticably rich in tradition!So that's Vidhu Vinod Chopra's venture+screen play efforts for the year,I believe its got good reviews.It deserves so too,good actors,good setting and very good timepass!

has it ever happened to you??

Suddenly I feel there's time in my hands....the following thoughts cross my mind... - that model on the cover looks awesome, how is that so? - if they actually airbrush pictures , then how come there is a good looking category? - i want to see a brand new juice in the market,tired of the same old ones... - i feel like shopping often.its more a thought than action. - i like clothes that some other women wears...i want stuff like those! - how come there is traffic only when i want to drive? - water is good for me, very good....keep drinking..has anyone tried flavored water? - is flavored water as good for health? - how come some advertisements are soooo good? is it just one person or a team? - when everyone is busy how come i have time? - how is it that my phone rings only when i want to sleep or when i am occupied? - why do i get tanned so quickly? - how come technology is always surprising to me? - why didn't i get into sports or music when i was younger? - why is it that some ...

Hey!!!

its been a while since we have had some news....s0 here we go, The most famous 22K jeweller ,probably globally,has asked its male employees to shave off their moustaches +facial hair to keep up with their jobs!the examples are set by the owner,himself ,the managers and all the male employees irrespective of the hierarchy!now,i find this news very very interesting!having to look formal is part of most jobs but shaving off moustaches,what formality would it create?does grooming have to go to this extent???what is most capturing is the 'pride' of these men who hail from the land that claims to be 'God's own country' seems to be hit..... So India and Pakistan,i still believe,could be the best neighbours ever,but we have decided to be influenced by political pressures even after all these years!Anyways,the point is while Indian films are "banned" in Pakistan the Indian stars are not!which goes on to show how strong piracy is.so we have ms rai,going over to thei...

The 1969 reunion!

My dad is currently enjoying "retirement", he recently tells me that he is soon having a 1969 college reunion! While just hearing that got me excited, the stories of how he found his college mates after 42 years was even more interesting. To begin with, he bumped into one of them and that kick started the whole process. They chatted about what they have been upto so far in life and if they were in touch with others. From there on, one thing led to another, he tells me. He met up with a few who never left town and stayed on for all these years. Today, they have managed to arrange a gathering of 25 classmates, all this without the involvement of Internet at all! Dad tells me that a couple of never touched a computer! That just concludes that the Internet is overrated and its sad that even if we are equipped with more tools, no one has time for another. So meeting up is pretty much a big deal in today's world. So proud of the 1969 batch!
