Happened to see 'Music and Lyrics' last week........ my devotion for Hugh Grant, embarrassingly, continues to be  unconditional.  I laughed/smiled/cried through the movie as the situation demanded, did I not say my devotion is unconditional? Can't seem to get this song of the movie out of my mind.

"There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere" is so true. Sometimes it is just a song that hits the right note or a flower whose colours strike you or a good game of tennis or a pen and a hug that you get from your child on your birthday that gets your soul go all wobbly.

A bit late in the day

But we finally got around to watching 'Fiddler on the roof'. An old musical released in 1973 but was an instant hit with the viewers of age ranging between 7 and 76.

Carnage- the movie

Absolutely love Emirates for their superb in-flight entertainment. Saw some lovely movies this time but 'Carnage' was just right for the mood. Sharp and funny, it is a very engaging movie about a meeting between two sets of parents whose children have had a fight in the neighborhood park. In relation to the incident, the mothers of course  take themselves very seriously and want it all to be discussed in the most civilised manner but what ensues is a series of conflicts between parents, between spouses, between men, between women, between the men and the women and so on. The women appeared to be torn between who they want to be: good citizens of the world who care, and who they actually are: cold, manipulative and judgmental. Men of course behaved the way men do, trivialising everything in a very manly way. The whole inter-personal dynamics is hugely entertaining.


This Roman Polanski film is a brilliant commentary on modern life, how different people have chosen their own ways of leading it and how each of them is most critical of the others interpretation of it. 

Are deewano..... Mujhe pehchano

Loved Don-2 immensely. From start to finish. Superb action, fun dialogues, SRK was super cool and PC has never looked better. Om Puri and Kunal Kapoor were a bit off mark but the rest of the cast was just perfect. Totally convinced that I like Farhan Akhtar in his directorial avatar the most.
