taare zameen par...

Have you ever been punished for not doing maths homework? Have you ever been told that your hand-writing is like Greek and Latin? Have you ever bunked school and roamed on roads? Have you ever hidden your marks sheet from parents and got a false signature on the progress report? Have you ever been placed in residential school and you waited for your parents' visit on the weekend so desperately? Did you ever feel so difficult to button your shirt or tie your shoe-lace in the childhood? Have you ever been compared to your classmate or brother about your school performance and belittled? Have you ever felt that you can do nothing, in spite of the material support provided by parents? Have you ever yearned for the affectionate touch/embrace from parents? If your answer is 'yes' to at least one of these questions, here is a wonderful movie you should watch and feel!!!

Aamir Khan has proved himself to be good as a director too... With too many touching scenes, pointing at the faults of parents bringing up the children, the story proved to be a timely eye-opener for those who put too high expectations on their children. Darsheel Safary's innocent face with his too long teeth is too cute and fit for the role... Shankar Mahadevan's music is an added credit for the success of the movie...

If you have not yet watched the movie, don't miss it... thanks to Government of India for making the movie tax-free!!!

phir milenge!

today, i watched this wonderful movie "phir milenge"... the second masterpiece by revathy after her first one "mitr-my friend"... very thought provocating and informative... the story line basically focuses on HIV affected people and their right to live their life in the society!! the obvious but still baseless fear of general public towards HIV affected people is well protrayed... the photography, screenplay, and the protrayal of characters is too good! nonetheless, performance by abhishek, silpashetty, and nasser is an added value to the film... hats off to revathy, who has proved herself the best in direction too!!!

Love Actually...


Yesterday, I watched this wonderful romantic comedy movie Love Actually... A mix of different realistic situations where people are confused at the start, and ultimately find their soulmates... A prime minister falling in love with his catering manager, a writer falling in love with his house cleaner who belongs to another native language, a sensitive man who silently loves a girl who marries his best friend, and even a school boy who confidently says that he is in love with his schoolmate... well picturized with a backdrop of christmas season... "Love actually is all around" is the caption!!! I really loved this movie...

With the valentine's day approaching, all radio channels are flooding us with loads of romantic songs... 'thoo bin bathaaye mujhe lekar chal kahin', 'dil ne tujhko chun liya hai, tum bhi is ko chuno na', 'tere bind zindagi se koi shikwa nahin', 'tere bin main yum kaise jiya, kaise jiya tere bin', 'aate jaate, hanste gaate'... and the list goes on!!! each of these songs has it's own flavor of reminding those good old days, where life is just like a bed of flowers and I haven't experienced any pain of separation ever... i liked these lines of nariyalchutney in his post eX... "We always know that looking back on the tears would make us laugh someday. But we never know that looking back at the moments we laughed together would make us cry someday"... With each day passing, our perspective about true relationship may change, but the feeling/soft-corner for those eX's will always be there... of course, many will not admit it!!!

Wherever we are, however we are, and whoever with us... loving somebody makes us feel complete!!! someday, we will say "You can't imagine how beautiful my world has become eversince you walked into it... with you be my side, I am the luckiest person on the earth".

life is beautiful... love actually makes it more beautiful... love actually is all around!!!

lage raho gopal bhai!!!

life is going quite smooth... not so boring, not so exciting... having fun with english words... of course, it is always troublesome job to remember scores of words in a short time... but, still GRE preparation has its own beauty...

i have seen two good movies these days... one is in telugu namely 'bommarillu' which means a toy house... though the comedy track is quite routine as seen in recent movies, the centre theme of the movie is quite well focused... the struggle between a son who has his own ambitions and dreams and his father who always tries to give his children the best... it's worth watching for both parents and children to identify themselves and get some insight into the relationship.

the second one is 'lage raho munnabhai'... the director used the brand name 'munnabhai' as the backbone for the movie, though it bears no resemblence with its previous part... the meeting of munnabhai with gandhiji is awsome and interesting... hopefully, we can expect that this informal way of spreading 'gandhigiri' can bring some change in our confined mindset!!!

in addition to these, weather in bangalore is too good these days... since these are full moon days, the night sky is really beautiful... enjoying the moonlight along with friends and dreaming about future... lage raho gopal bhai!!!

hazaaron khwaishein aisi...

Last night, i watched the movie 'hazaaron khwaishein aisi'... It was a really touching, sensible, and emotional movie... The way the relations are focussed is excellent... i dont know whether somebody can love a girl that much... but, it was a nice feeling after watching the movie...

here, i am writing the lyrics (english version) of one of the songs...

The silly heart is setting off to see a dream...
The heart has words sillier than itself...
The heart beats are sillier and so are the thoughts...
So, why do you shy away for the silly movements in the sleep?
The silly eyes wish for happy moments and to see the beautiful nature...
The silly heart is setting off to see a dream...

There should be some silly mate in this silly world...
And, it should be just your hand in the hand in this smart rush...
The tune should be something silly; and similar should be the rhythm...
The silly leg will then long for a silly beat to dance...
The silly heart is setting off to see a dream...

The darkness should be silly and similar should be the tranquility...
The sound-wave should be soft; and the magic should be likewise...
There is a silly moment that gradually spells out the time...
It teaches the silly face to live with the times...
The silly heart is setting off to see a dream...

life is beautiful... a touching story!!!

yesterday, i watched the movie 'life is beautiful'... it is one of the best heart-touching stories i have seen... the story starts in a hilarious way giving an account of how joyously one can live his life... slowly the story line gets into serious situations where the hero and his fellow people are captivated by nazis... the way our hero tries to hide the facts from his son to make him happy is really touching... at the end, the hero dies and makes sure that his wife and son are alive...
the story is a perfect example of how to live with hope under dreadful conditions!!!
