“ People are made to be loved and things are made to be used. The confusion arises in the world when “people are used and things are loved”.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Just finished watching the movie "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly".

No doubt that it's a nice movie. The real story of Mr. Bauby who suffers a stroke and lapse into coma. After 20 days of coma, he gets mentally awake but physically paralyzed. He can only see through one eye and there is some movement in his head. A transcriber recites the letters to him until he chooses the letter with a blink of left eyelid. With the help of 200,000 blinks, he gets his book written.

The book gets published in March 1997. It receives excellent reviews, gets 150,000 copies sold in the first week, and become a number one bestseller across Europe. Ten days after the book gets published, Bauby dies of pneumonia.

The movie at times gets slow. I almost loose my patience and feel like pressing "forward", when the trancriber repeats reciting the same order of alphabets, but then I try to connect myself to the character and feel the helplessness.

n I feel depressed.

Ghajini - Review !!

Just back to home after watching Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini..!! Another excellent piece of work from Aamir Khan. Also showcase the very pretty and good actor "Asin".

As I always like to see happiness, for me the best part of movie was the first flashback, when Aamir meets Asin..! Romance and comedy, both are good..

A few days back, I watched the original version of the movie in Tamil, ofcourse with English subtitles..well should not even say original to that as I guess orginal is in English which is "Memento" and I am yet to see that..



Okay so back to Tamil one, character of Sanjay is played by the handsome n superb actor Surya..!

While we were coming back after watching this version, there was debate around who was better, Surya or Aamir..And the public voted for Surya..

Well, here I differ..Though I really liked Surya, there is no doubt abt Aamir's good work.

I feel when we saw Surya in Ghajini, coz it was the first time we were seeing him so may be it was easier for us to think of him as "Sanjay".. And when we see Aamir..then inspite of his briiliant effort he stays Aamir for us !!

Undoubtedly it's a nice movie, a must watch..briiliant direction and brillaint cast..!!

And a nice song "Gujarish" :)

Beautiful Lines

“main chupana jaanta toh jag mujhe sadhu samajhata,
shatru mera ban gaya hai, chhal rahit vyavahar mera ”


If i knew how to hide, the World would have thought me to be a saint.
My unblemished nature has become my biggest enemy.

Coming to Peace with the Violence and Loss !

Just read the head lines in TOI that Priyanka Gandhi met "Nalini", one of the assassins of her father Rajiv Gandhi.

Priyanka said "This was my way of coming to peace with the violence and loss I had experienced. I would like to say it was a purely personal visit that I undertook completely on my initiative. I would be deeply grateful if this could be respected. I don't believe in anger, hatred and violence and I refuse to allow it to overpower my life."

For Priyanka, it was an attempt to attain closure, to come to terms with the tragic loss of her beloved father.

Nalini, serving a life term for involvement in Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, told her brother, "I feel all my sins have been washed off by Priyanka's visit...I feel she has pardoned me by calling on me at the prison.... I am indebted to her all my life,"

I have always been impressed with the wonderful lady, Priyanka. And I really admire her for her own unique ways ..! I wish the media and the politicians in India would not comment on her take, for the sake of its sensitivity and emotions attached..!!
