# This thing I saw on TeeVee,
Rani Mukherjee, in her attempt to kick off a bollywood dictionary - thinks Chevrolet is 'mindblasting'.
I thought self righteous suicide was restricted to Chop Suey.
# A tryst with the Law.
Not the law school kind. A different kind. Would like to go into the nuances, but as soon as I put my mind to typing, my fingers get cramps and simply refuse to do so.
So the gist. Sister and I, wild mood, Dad is at granny's place - we leave mom alone at home and take the car out at 1:45 A.M, pick up her friend even, and go around ring road until about 2:30 and then stop at a place. Put on some music and chit-chat. Battery gets low, beat gurkhas come by - enquire. We try starting the car, but it won't. They find it suspicious - notify the police, who come by as well. They talk to us, freak us out completely, and raise thick, bushy eyebrows at two attractive (a-hem!) (I assure you, even in person, you would not disagree) girls with guy. To top it all, friend of sister's gets brilliant idea of not sticking to truth but making up obscure story. So we do. And get caught in our own web. Tension is cuttable with knife. Time: 3:00 A.M. Finally, after a whole lotta pleading, and of course, the truth (which I was resolute on telling from the start, but somewhere around that time, the cat got my tongue) big burly police guy gets our car starting and escorts us home.
Major and heavy emotion abound at home. I feel rather stupid about myself.
Good memory to talk about on lonely fridays with old friends over a cuppa joe.
#Three movies over two days during twelfth boards
Rumor has it - Three words. No not 'Rumor has it', 'Don't watch it'.
Don't ever. In fact, i'll even spoil it for you. Girl suspicious of her roots, goes in hunt of her real father, who, turns out has slept with her mother and gramma. She sleeps with him too.
Yecch.
Oh, by the by, thankfully, he's not her real father. He can't have kids.
15 Park Avenue - Made me wonder when movies began being thought-provoking again. A refreshing change from the candy-floss crap populating the silver screen. A depressing feel of course. But poignant, and I find Konkona Sensharma's acting particularly commendable. Real movie. Very, very real. Which is why the closing is suspended abruptly. From what I made of it, the end was brilliant. But you go watch it, if you haven't.
By the way, little geography tid-bits from the movie - Park Avenue's in NY city, Palm Avenue's in Kol, Park Road is in Kol.
The Accused - Jodie Foster, good actress. Caught eye while surfing because of court scene. Good one again. About gang rape and stuff.

Everyone,
ReplyDeleteI cannot blog anymore. I had forgotten my password long ago, but was able to log on with the help of mozilla's remember pw. I might blog elsewhere in future. Watch this space for more.
If there was anyone who truly enjoyed keying in "blackframedspectacles", or clicking on the link and reading, the inconvenience is regretted.
The rest of you can kiss my ass.
Thank you,
The thing inside me
If you remember your username at least, Blogger has a 'forgot your password?' option. They'll send the password to your email address.

P.S. You haven't responded to my emails. I give you permission to go ahead and do so.
Oh, maybe I will do that then. I'm sorry - I'm not at home, am in B'lore; so don't get the comp for long.
ReplyDeleteWill read it with careful scrutiny and respond.
