A brilliant movie. It's about the Mumbai bomb blasts that took place in local trains. I didn't know this fact. So I was shocked for a few minutes when the blast seen happened. I should have known it, would have made it a bit easier to digest. But then had I known it I would have had pre-assumed notions about the movie. it's not about the bomb blasts. it's not about what police did or government did or didn't. It's not about the victims of the blasts. It's about the commoner of Mumbai, a commoner who has been an indirect victim. It's about a police constable who has nothing to do with the blasts, who had not been able to do justice to occupation through out his service, who is but at heart a good human being. It's about a salesman who was present during the blast, who develops hatred towards muslims, who learns the way of life. It's about an officer who was saved by a mere chance of luck, who was traumatised by the experience, who loves his count...

To begin with, it's not like me to watch movies. But today morning I woke up a little earlier than usual, about 4. And I was kinda bored and alone, thought I should have been studying. But I wanted some people talking around me just to feel that three are people around me. So I started watching some movies. But before I start off, I finish an average rated movie in 20 to 30 mins (I forward most of it, and watch only if it is captivating) Aamir Someone told me it was good. I finished it in 15mins. It was absolutely boring. It didn't even have a story to make me stop and listen to a few dialogues. Yes, no doubt the climax is good but then it's so difficult to make it to the climax that you give up. The screenplay essentially was pathetic. A meek attempt to try and be different. Love Story 2050 Someone told me it pathetic. I finished it in 25mins. It had a story to keep me going. It has a Hrithik like character. It had a cute teddy robo, a cute girl robo. It had a very vague s...

A beautiful wild untamed flower shouldn't be trapped. What happens when it is ?

This night the weather was nice. A pleasantly cool and humid weather. I felt like cycling. I found a junior's cycle. I found some company (rather I dragged a friend along). We went cycling, took breaks and cycled again, round and round the campus. At one particularly tired break, I got a call. As I was on the phone, a small drizzle began. I was on the phone when lightning struck and thunderbolt sounded loud enuf to shatter any one's guts. As I put the phone down and was considering returning, a huge rain began. We could not see or move as we stood under a tree. I shivered to the bone. Then when we could no longer stand under the tree, we left the cycles there and ran for cover under some building. I was completely drenched and shivering to the bone by now. Staying under cemented roof kinda got some warmth back into my body and my shivering receded. Then I looked at the storming rain, drenched and wet hair. We waited for quite a long while and then it stuck me that it might not ...

It was 2.30 am and I on the bed reading something absolutely unimportant when the smell of burning paper touched my nostrils. It is a smell I like, carbon burning. The Economic Times lying carelessly stashed on my keyboard was now in flames. Just one end of it. I picked it up and rolled it so that I could hold it like a burning stick. Then I thought I could just sway it and hit it against the wall and it would cut the flame. I started banging it against the wall above my dustbin. I tried to stub it out in the dustbin. But the flame burnt my hand and I let it drop into the dust bin. Everything inside my dustbin caught fire. I immediately took the dustbin outside my room and sprayed all its contents on the corridor in order to save the dustbin (besides I don't like the smell of burning plastic). I had an arc of fire around me and then I realised the dustbin I was holding was also on fire. I dropped it. Now I had fire just outside my room. Not sure What to do at 2.40 am I looked aroun...

A beauty floated at the dock swaying slowly against the waves Tiny and simple as she was She weighed nothing at all Along the dock I walked Observed her inside out Tiny and simple as she was She weighed nothing at all Safety assured secure unfurled the sail pure white Against the blue blue sky With dreams and hopes new miles Simplicity with all shades The journey started as endless Against the blue blue sky With dreams and hopes new miles Oceans opened, breeze strong Wars waged weapons unarmed She toppled and tripped Current swayed her along Grey skies, leaking holes lightning and thunder She toppled and tripped Current swayed her along Decisions and destinations lay awaiting the little lady Against the current she swam Against the world of rules Sailed, wronged and right Sailed through the darkest night Against the current she swam Against the world of rules Still swimming, still sail Still afloat wondering Deep waters shallowed Bright salty dark Still dreaming hoping Grey sky still b...
