Sheikh, Apni Apni Dekh

8 days since I published last!!! not fair! there has been so much happening that a lot of things, I had time for when I out of the country, have taken a back seat!

I guess its just a phase...though the last two weekends and the week has been very very good! in ways more than one! along with some sidey not so good things too!!!

Got to know a few nice people in Chandigarh, making the stay here a lot better than I had expected... driving to work and back does not take more than 15 minutes and its a pleasure to drive... the chill in the mornings and the breeze in the evenings is a pleasure to experience!

Ashu flew off to Mauritius for his project yesterday... which is another good news! I am proud of him!

Radha is doing great, and I am enjoying my long drives with her! we have driven about 2000kms already after I came back! I think in all I must have driven close to about 100,000 kms in the last 6 years! I like it!

I saw Ishqiya! and it turned out to be a bummer! Naseer wasted, Arshad and Vidhya underutilized, weak plot, slow pace... not sure if there was much about the movie that I liked except a couple of songs and some stills from the lighting point of view... my favorite being the opening sequence of the movie! and it just went downhill from there!!! My favorite line from the movie being. "Sheikh, Apni Apni Dekh".

There is a whole lot happening other than the regular movie, home, work business, and I am very excited and at the same time a bit nervous about it... but I kind of believe that things are going to turn out just right!

Have a wonderful week everyone!

  7. when new interest start to become important, old ones take a back seat. That's not bad at all. Hope everything works out well for you. Best wishes :)

    That makes me think why are all new things like that? New job, new home, new car... you are excited and nervous together. Fear.

    Well, all the best to you! & Keep spreading positive energy as you always do.

  12. I was pretty impressed by Ishqiya. Made me think how gr8 it would have been if Naseer played Amitabh's role in Nishabd. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that Mushtaq bhai was casted as the Pathan driver in Kabul Express. Bharadwaj has masterfully rendered the foul mouthed-ness to the Indian cinema which was tactfully delayed over the years. Bring it on I say. Everyone uses profanity in their daily life then why the awkwardness when you see it on screen???? And all that bull about being it family friendly ()*^&)(*&%^(& You need to check the rating b4 u take ur family to see it! Does anyone have a clue what the word discretion means?
