I want to write more, and read more.....much more.
Onto the A Song of Ice and Fire - book two, A Clash of Kings. Gripping!
I will be onto this set of books for a while now....
----------------------
Ishaqzaade - please dont give me any more star songs/daughters. Arjun Kapoor is a sheer disappointment, not that I had great expectations. He tries to be rustic, coz that's the plot background, but his speech, and demeanor is so urban, a total misfit for the role.
Kinda went to the movie with a half heart.......but Parineeti Chopra is a pleasure to watch. A breath, no breeze..........noooooo hurricane of fresh air in the run-of-the-mill female actors in Bollywood. If u have to watch the movie, watch it for her - and her only!
Wish the movies had a stronger message....rather than just a text in the end.
And a great score by Amit Trivedi.
----------------------
Our social like in BLR is only getting busier and better. All the more reason for me to look back on our decision to come back and feel great about it.
But some people I still have complain of - yes, its you I am talking about- coz they seem to have been sooooooooo busy lately. Huh!
----------------------
Satyamev Jayate - am a BIG fan. Yes, its nothing new, yes its mostly just talking, but in the Indian society "talking about it" itself is a big step forward.
For all the hullabaloo we make of the great Indian culture and great Indian values, we have grotesque skeletons in our closets. And we are all very aware of it, in fact have had brushes with it in our own ways. Yet we dare not "TALK".
So hats off to the concept and the effort - I can only hope that it create a little more awareness and a little more sensitization in the society.

If you going to turn this into a complaints board, I will only get busier and busier. :-P
