It has been really long since I sat down to write. It was really disturbing that I stopped doing something I am so passionate about. Voicing our opinion does give one a lot of pleasure.
Life has been good. People always frighten saying life gets tougher as you get older but not so for me! My life as the years go by seems to get better and better.
I once read somewhere you can always remain happy if you take every incident of your life as a lesson.Success teaches you how to do a thing and Failure teaches you how not to do a thing!
I read so little in this four month time span. I read a book by Shoba De “Socialite Evenings” which is a story of a woman whose married life is a mess! All the miseries she goes through and how finally she finds out what she wants to do with her life is exactly the story.I liked the book because of its Indian touch and simplicity.There was no plot and hence the story was not so gripping.I tried so hard to read books, but I never seemed to get interest.I have Ken Follet’s “ Eye of the Needle “ with me, but it doesn’t seem to evoke any interest..
And to talk about movies, I did watch a few ones but really don’t re collect what all! Yesterday I saw Don. I seriously feel the King Khan should stick to romance.I had a feeling the Junior B would have done better in that role.I had wanted to watch Umrao Jaan too! But no one is ready to come with me to watch it .
I am very excited to watch “Guru”.Mani Rathnam s movie after two years.I can remember how excited I was to watch Aytha Ezhuthu and this time it is the combo of my two favorite people .I am sure Aby would have done full justice under Mani.The music of Guru reminds me of the old Hindi songs , the “Mere Sanam” kind.The song “Hey Arathe” is very romantic! Some of the web pages say the movie is the story of Dhirubhai Ambani whereas the others say the movie is a mature love story.There is this page in wikeapidea ,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_(2006_film),where I fell in love with Ash’s character (Sujatha)
She says
Sujatha - I hated my father for forcing me to marry Guru. But I was sent away to Bombay to live with my unwanted husband and my anger in a one-room chawl. I don’t know when I stopped thinking of him as a stranger and started calling him Guru. I was too shy to say things like I love you, but love was perfume I wore everyday. Some people call him God, some say he is evil, but for me he is the man who has to just enter the room and I can feel that perfume waft its way across and settle on me... that perfume called love.
And Guru Says
There’s a saying in our village, if people say bad things about you, you must be doing something good. Sounds true, doesn’t it?
I feel the movie is going to be very inspirational like his old ones and I just can’t wait to see it!
