Old faces? New Faces?

You know..Today i was in the coffee house meeting with three of my old school friends after a long time. We chatted, had shakes and coffee(for one of the guys..maybe preserving his voice from cold), went for a ride and had fun. Now as i said its ages since we met. But now as we have grown up by a couple of 'couple of years' i would have thought the world might have changed all around and in front of me would be complete strangers. Thats how it should be. The world is supposed to change you minute by minute. But what was funny is that, i could go up and say "actually, not really!".
Ofcourse, we have gained heights[not me], grown enormously, have new marks on faces, new looks thorughout. But basically i felt all were the same as it used to be.

But at the same time there have been instances when i just sit back listening to people and not getting anything to say in between, or have to act like "oh...i know we have been away for so long for you to be comfortable with me now". I guessed that should be very normal since you have been separted and do not really share any of your present incidents and circumstances, that you really wouldnt know what the other would want to hear actually. The magic of you knowing exactly what the listener would love to hear is vanished. So all you do is try ask how it all was without you in their life. I would love to sit opposite someone who talks a lot, because i just hope he or she might do the work of filling in these moments of joy of reunion. Well, sometimes i am lucky, sometimes not.

So where actually do i define my comfort zone, u think i am too very clear about it.....but damn no!!! Life is surprisingly unpredictable.

Well I m for today just happy, that i am happy, and had some fun the way i used to with my friends.Thank them. Anyways now on the edge of passing out of college now, i am thinking now there would be similar days coming where my other set of friends[college] would be calling me up for such meetings. Will they be the same when you see them? Will they remember what all we have gone through?? Will they find it amusing to recall all that?

Well...we will meet someday anyway...i guess...on that day i could fill another page of the blog!!!!

Padmaavat Review

Image
Padmaavat(i) - is a lavish visual spectacle from the master of Indian magnum opus, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It has all the ingredients you expect from a film like his, but compared to his previous movies there were some slight misses.  The movie starts off strong, obviously because of the visuals, but slowly meanders into sequence of three lines of 'Rajput praising' just for the sake of it, songs that don't fit but were there because those worked in his 'BajiRao', Deepika and Sh ahid becoming side caricatures in a 'heroic' saga and so on. But the film is entertaining, and Ranveer is Ranveer. Ranveer's screen time and performance eclipse the other title characters, and so when they come on screen all they have is some punch dialogs, which was irritating. Aditi is always a pleasant sight for sore eyes. As a director, I feel SLB failed because I thought he had a great story in hand, but instead of making it into a proper political emotional saga, he wen

Aningaaq : Jonas Cuaron's 'Gravity' spin off explores the other side to Bullock's distress call

Image
Remember this scene from 'Gravity' where Sandra Bullock's character Ryan Stone, loses all hope of surviving and shuts down her drone. Just before that she finds peace in her conversation through her transmitter with a guy called Aningaaq. You hear his voice, and his speech, a dogs bark and a crying child. Have you wondered who they were? Well, you don't have to any more. Jonas Cuaron, son of the director Alfonso Cuaron himself, who co-wrote 'gravity' alongside his father, wrote a shortie based on this conversation. Financed by Warner Videos, who wanted the short to come out with their Blu-ray editions, found the short's potential to be much more than they intended. Now doing rounds in various festivals for short films, they might be just in luck if they could get a nomination for their short film 'Aningaaq' at the prestigious Oscars this year, in the live action short film category. If so, it could be very much possible that Warner's could b

Childhood memories of a Movie Maniac!!!

Image
Location : Kochi, India. Recently, I went to watch the lastest Spiderman movie ('The Amazing Spiderman 2'). There was very less to be amazed by the movie, but I had a nostalgic experience watching a little boy of maybe 3-5 years, sitting on his mother's lap and getting excited as a robed Spidey comes falling through the breeze. He was suddenly jumping up and down, as Spidey swung on his fiber swings, and the excitement on his face would make you melt. A happy father besides him, gave us a smile when he saw us looking at the boy. I remember when I was not more than 7, I had gone to the then famous English movie theatre in Ernakulam, 'Sridhar', to watch 'Twister'. I was so excited and curious that day about these giant winds. I also developed a crush for Helen hunt, but lets not go into that ;). Me and my father came out of the theatre and walked down to the Marine Drive nearby, and sat on a wooden bench facing the sea. I had visuals of this huge tornado
