somewhere after all these years....


This evening i was coming out of the cinema after watching the funny Jaane tu Ya jaane na......and was discussing about the movie and what all we liked in it, when i saw from far a familiar figure. Even before i could realise who it was, she raised her hand and started waving at me. My damn slow processor in ma head got working and after a quick short break produced the result. It was my old schools Science Teacher. I couldnt believe it that she recognised me even before i could recognise her.

Forgetting the moment fo embarassment, i ran to her and greeted her. She addressed me as shes been with me forever, asked about my well being, about my parents and brother. She addresed my brother as the tiny one..heehh......tats how he used to be when she had left school. I was neither a grown up. But now after about 10 years or so, she just identified me as she just saw me yesterday. She said i havent changed a bit. Ooh..people who see me regularly say i look different everyday..hahaha.

Its was a very emotional moment for me.We just talked a few more minutes and had to part. But the joy she gave me, and the care and love she and all my other teachers had bestowed on me over all those years had been overwhelming. Even at this day when i see those same eyes that have so much affection for you, i just retreat silently to a lonely place to just be nostalgic!!!!!

All those years of fun and fullfillment of our basic basemnet learning and all those who helped us in that are always so special.I do realise that at such moments!

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
