Understanding Friends…

A couple of days back while discussing with my friends we hit upon an interesting subject. The point of focus was one of us and the argument was mostly directed at the person. The gist of the idea was what struck me the most. The premise was that most of my friends shared their ideas, problems and daily events to one of my friends who is an amazing listener. What they felt was that it was unfair that they never got the opportunity to return the favor. This person felt that the idea of bothering someone with his/her problems would simply waste their time (and would not interest them).

I wont go into where the argument swayed and what we learned about ourselves but rather I will use this opportunity to tell you a story from my life that is pretty similar, which I have been waiting for a while to narrate…

The Lake House – Movie Review

the_lake_house
[rating:3.5/5]

The lake house is a beautiful romantic movie about the conversations between two residents of a Lake house. The plot circles around a lonely doctor who once occupied an unusual lakeside home and her exchange of love letters with its former resident, a frustrated architect. The protagonists must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it’s too late.

A lot of people recommended the movie to me, but it somehow got lost in my to-watch list. When [info]yodha finished his review of this movie with “the movie’s a good watch for romantic fools”, I was like that sounds like me :P
