Dodo & The Mistress of Vices

About The Mistress of Spices ...

(watched with my roomie on 30th apr 06)

Not too great a movie, and I had been warned. Yet the temptation was too great, and the curiosity..... For I wld have forever wondered what's there in the movie. Sometimes we just do things coz we want to know more.
Explore.

And then sometimes we do find something to make it a trip worth the while. At other times we don't. Yet chances have to be taken in life.

Well the movie was a bit about the same, a battle between confirming and non-confirming, something about being rooted and not rooted. I don't think the root (as in the mind) has got much to do with geography. Though I agree, away from home the avenues are plenty, but then again I feel it becomes mostly a matter or choices.

Two dialogs only I remember from the movie...

Dough: I am not rooted like you.
Tilo : But then too deep roots can also strangulate.

And .... love cannot be wrong.
(this one's in the trailer too, and honestly it was the hooker)

Well, they are both true. In changing times, it is about wise choices, and the world will not always seem to understand. But then as I always say, bigger games involve bigger risks.
The second bit - sounds like from alchemist.
Sure love cannot be wrong, but then how does one know when it really is love?

***************************

It is about my life and my ambitions.

Well, do I know what is it that I am really looking at? A li'l clearer I can say though.
Finding what u don't want is also a way of getting closer to what you do want eventually. So if it hasn't been a clear answer in terms of my being able to solve that problem, at least I clould go by the process of elimination. And yes it does get the right result too.

All try, but at the end of the day, the winner is the one who finishes first. I don't want to tell stories later in my life of how hard I tried. Coz stories of lost battles do not make good reading. They only show how weak human character is; they do not explain how humans managed to live by overcoming their weaknesses. They are stories of those who died, and dodo is called a stupid bird today.

I am too intelligent to go the dodo way. And I want my story to be of a survival.
