More movies....

The Invention of Lying Another of those different kinds movie....watch it as its fun...trying to see what happens if the world will be honest for sometime. Up in the Air This one with my frequent travels makes me find the movie more interesting....loved George Clooney :)

Inkheart

Liked the movie... "Since the dawn of time, storytellers have enchanted audiences with their words. But there is an even rarer gift. There are those, who by reading out loud, can bring characters to life. Out of books and into our world. Most of these Silvertongues, as they are know prefer to keep their skills a secret but some do not even know this gift is theirs, until it is too late." And the best line about being wanting a writer is summed : "Oh no, it's just a lonely thing. Sometimes the world you create on the page seems more friendly and alive than the world you actually live in" Watch it atleast once....a fantasy

Ghost of the past girlfriends

It was so and so movie but it certainly had it good moments: Someone once told me that the power in all relationships lies with whoever cares less, and he was right. But power isn't happiness, and I think that maybe happiness comes from caring more about people rather than less... It scared the hell out of me too. What if she hurt me? What if she left me? What if she died? It would have been the end of me. So I cut it short, before she ever could. And you know what? It was the biggest mistake I ever made. And you're making the same mistake right now, and I'll be goddamned if I'm going to sit by and watch. You've got to risk love Sandra! I didn't and look at me; I'm a lonely ghost of a man. It doesn't mean that you're never going to get hurt but the pain you feel will never compare to the regret that comes from walking away from love. And from someone who's felt a lot of both trust me, pain beats regret everyday of the week and t...

Alice in Wonderland - perfect fantasy

Catch the 3D version....and here's some snippets: There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.  Which luckily I am. Have I gone mad?  I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.  You used to be much more..."muchier." You've lost your muchness. ..believing in the impossible is the only way to make it possible.

Dear John

Dear John!!! Well its a tearjerker but gives the same feeling of tears followed by a smile :) and the usual here are some snippets: "the last thing he thought about before he blacked out, was "you". "I will sit here and make you promises. And I’ll keep them, too. You think you’re worried about promises? I’m the one who’s gotta go over there -- wherever there is. I’m the one who’s gotta go to sleep alone in that tent or those barracks or that hut, hoping that tomorrow might be the day you’ll call or you’ll write, hoping that tomorrow won’t be the day you forget about me, that tomorrow won’t be the day you meet some great new guy at the Friday night Sigma Nu mixer who’ll make you realize waiting for me isn’t worth it anymore." “Two weeks together, That’s all it took for me to fall for you." “ True love means that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, No matter how painful the choices you face might be. ” No matter where y...

Your Ice Cream Personality: You like to think of yourself as a fairly modest person. And it's true that you don't talk yourself up... but you're also pretty happy with who you are. You are a pretty cautious person. You look before you leap, and you don't leap often. There's a bit of a wild child within you, but it doesn't get out often. You are a fairly open minded person with a wide range of tastes. You are quite accepting of unusual ideas and people. You are a natural multi-tasker. You feel alive when you're doing more than one thing at a time. You are a serious and contemplative person. You definitely do your own thing in life.

Tripped

Ok this time me gonna pen down my trip so it started a day before....coz thats also important. Time I pack my suitcase to open and find that I am carrying 4 night pajamas...anyways let me forget it....I think I have enough to stay warm and go to office too :) Anyways me started my journey to the Airport. It was a strange thing that happened....a man just stood ahead of the car and the driver braked his way....and the mans life was just saved. I was too stunned and my driver was really shaken. He couldn't drive ahead for a long time. And I was wondering how can I thank and appreciate his efforts. And then there passed 2-3 cars which honked and waved. I thought probably they are wondering why our cab is going slow. But then I realized it was something different. Drivers were actually congratulating him for his good work. Thats instant recognition. :) Salute to him. Airport was a big fish market. And a terrible one. It took me an hour before I could get past the queue. So I trie...

"A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked." ~ Anais Nin Here are my pieces of joy :) A glimpse of the moon from my bedroom window Stars caught glistening that catches me wishing A flower in bloom and a petal falls off Butterfly fluttering around Rain drops that forms the puddles Rainbow that accompanies it The setting sun sharing its colors Rising sun beaming A leaf falling from the tree A sunbird fluttering among the shrubs A feather swept by the wind settles on my feet A honeybee buzzing around the flower sucking the nectar A petal waving in the breeze waiting for its turn to bloom

Short Stories

Balika Badhu : A Representative Anthology of Bengali Short Stories translated by Monish Ranjan Chatterjee. Although the translation is good but still if one could read the stories in Bengali it would have been perfect. Balika Badhu - The fairytale of youthful love by Bimal Kar was an interesting as good as the movie or maybe better :) Abhagir Swarga - Touched upon the caste differences and death of innocence...good one Mahesh - This one I had watched its televised version and also read - the story of the love for the bull which was stronger than ones hunger. Puin Mancha - This one touched upon the plight of girl child Tarini Majhi - Well this one was a real heart tugging story and the ending made me jump up. How can someone who loves someone dearly make their life take precedence over love :( Well maybe the logic is I am not alive then what will I do about love but me still trying to get over the story. Dehantar - this one was one of those spooky tale The next stories f...

Twin Love!!

Well I read back to back 2 books on adolescent love....it wasn't planned but it simply happened....it was simply like after a sumptuous meal one eats the refreshing sweet peppermint pan - the desi version of After Eight :) So I read this book Marcello's Date which is an Italian based love story between teenagers and the other was Balika Badhu which is Bengali book again on teenage love. Although the setting in both were world apart but the only thing in common was the emotions and the love :) The longing for the loved one - the innocence of love and all...:)
