Evening Of Memories…

August 18, 2008 8:54 pm

Evening Of Theater - TicketIt was the day before the show that the feeling truly hit me. I was standing in the center of the stage and suddenly there was this overwhelming feeling of being drowned, it felt like my lungs were searching for that extra bit of air to save my life. In the midst of all the commotion and the running around, for the first time I knew what all of this meant…

Beauty…

August 14, 2008 11:13 pm
I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me… but it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life… You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But don’t worry… you will someday.

- Finishing Lines… American Beauty

When I first watched American Beauty it was on a television movie channel. I had heard so much about it and wanted to know what it was about. What impressed me then the most was the ending of the film… that line(above quote) struck a chord with me… Far away from understanding the movie, back then I thought it was an above average movie. Blame it mostly on the overly censored movie channels (it was the clipping of what was considered ‘bad language’ that bothered me more than the nudity) and the ad breaks that just ruined the flow of the movie.

Sandman…

Beaches have this amazing ability to soothe me… When I am next to the sea, my thoughts are always clear and worries seem to just dissolve away… Words just seem to flow…

The waves have a way of making you feel like a giant and dwarf at the same time… I have rarely stood at the beach and have not been humbled by the sea.

Ps: The only regret this time was that the sky was cloudy and I could not see any stars… That would have made the moment perfect.

Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na - Movie Review

July 26, 2008 11:30 am
Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na
Rating: ★★★★☆

When I first saw the promos of “Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na” with the short version of ‘Kabhi Kabhi Aditi’, I thought here is one movie that is trying the “Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi” formula. For people who have never heard of PMKK, it was this young adult movie that came out about half a decade ago, launching a bunch of young actors and filling the radio waves with some amazing music(’Woh Pehli Baar’ and ‘Musu Musu’ are still my favorites). Guess what I was right… The question (after a week or so of the release) though is why did PMKK flop while Jaane Tu was a big hit?

My next contact point to Jaane Tu came with the music… I simply loved the soundtrack! AR Rehman was again brilliant but what really was amazing was the lyrics. So I decided to do some background work and find out about the lyricist… It turns out Abbas Tyrewala was also the director and writer of the movie!!! Now I really wanted to watch the movie! I had told a friend a while back that if the movie and the lyrics were written by the same person and the lyrics was good, almost always the story and writing would be good too.

Now to the actual review…

What Would You Wish For?

July 23, 2008 2:26 pm

Her: What is the one thing you want most in the world?
Me: What?
Her: Lets say a genie pops up in front of you and is ready to grant you a wish what would you wish for?
Me: What is all this about?
Her: Ok, forget the genie… Lets just say that can wish for one thing right now, what would you wish for?
