Memoirs of a Geisha

A touching tale of a young gal sold by her poor parents, her struggle to become a Geisha and find love. Watch it once. Read the book if possible. Although the movie is equally good. :) "Remember, geisha are not courtesans. And we are not wives. We sell our skills, not our bodies. We create another secret world, a place only of beauty.The very word "geisha" means artist and to be a geisha is to be judged as a moving work of art. " "And yet, to learn kindness after so much unkindness, to understand that a little girl with more courage than she knew, would find her prayers were answered, can that not be called happiness? After all these are not the memoirs of an empress, nor of a queen. These are memoirs of another kind. " "But she told me I was like water. Water can carve its way, even through stone. And when trapped, water makes a new path." "Water is powerful. It can wash away earth, put out fire, and even destroy iron." "Victory d...

The Simpsons

Another animated treat! I loved the Simpsons - the dysfunctional family and they prove that Doomsday is family time! Homer who loves his family the most especially Marge. "Well, Marge, we're separated from the kids by a wall of snow. All of our dreams are coming true. " Marge loves being with Homer "Don't you just love being with someone who's recklessly impulsive?" even though it terribly aged her. Bart yearning for a Flander like real father - "I want a father who's the same in the morning as he is at night." but eventually he loves Homer as "The man knows me!" Lisa, well we will leave her for "I never thought my life would have an absolutely perfect moment, but this... " And Maggie as rightly put - "Maggie! What a great little accident you turned out to be!" Please don't ruin the golden family moment. Go out and watch.

"Wall-E" Its the best romantic movie ever watched!!

Pixar brings yet another visual treat, this time they choose robots. Well let me warn you, while watching it you may forget that you are watching an animated movie, its so real! The protagonist is named as the Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class, forget it, lets address it as Wall-E :), the lonely robot on the planet Earth sans any inhabitants except for its pet Roach. He has a boring menial job that includes making towers of the garbage. He collects odd items and has made himself a nice pad where he spends time watching the old classic and awaits for The Moment! :) The moment arrives in the form of another Robot, the aesthetic white beauty - Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator, Nah...its EVE. It's love at first beep for Wall-E. EVE is on a mission and returns back that's when Wall-E finds himself doing things that a robot ain't programmed to do...after all its Love that can make anything happen. Watch it and have fun!

Miracles do happen!

17 days is it SEVENTEEN or just seventeen! I am not sure about it, but I thought I lived a different life – a dream or perhaps I may call it a nightmare? Each day, the Supreme Being would question: Can you tell me how much you need the loved one so that I may give them another chance? And each one of us tried our best to answer this question. The ‘us’ included: Newly married asthmatic wife in need for her husband more than anyone; Parents of a 9 year old wanted their son for after all he was a kid – their kid; A couple wanted desperately – their only son – a 23 year old bright boy just joined his new job; Married for 42 years to a colonel, the wife wanted him so badly even if his return meant he would never be able to lift a finger or speak; An old man, already with his feet in the grave, wanted his son and daughter-in-law back so he could live to see a grandson. There were many more each trying to seek the answer and hoping that they would get the second chance – pathetically trying t...
