Ship Of Theseus

Seldom one come across something, which challenges his belief system, challenges his worth being a human... Ship Of Theseus, is one such movie which did exactly the same to me. I was excited to watch it the moment news broke that Kiran Rao is going to present it along with UTV. When I booked the ticket online for 10 PM show, I knew I'm going to watch it with just a couple of other people, not more than 6 to 7 ... because that's the number of audience you get for something different than mainstream. To my surprise, the hall was almost full, mostly the crowd from age range 23 to 30 and the 55 onward. There were some cold sighs in the beginning few minutes, but slowly everyone got engrossed in movie. No one left hall in interval, in fact everyone tried to finish their business and came back quick not to miss a moment when it began after interval. The crowd was surely enjoying as there were hearty laughs in the last story. Everyone got connected to what was shown , may be that is the reason that no one got up even as the credits started rolling, there was a unanimous applause in the end.  

This happened exactly at Inox Amanora Pune, two days before. 

The movie left me wondering about everything. The cinematography is pulling me again to theater to watch it one more time. One time is just not enough for that splendid work of cinematography. 

The discussions between Maitreya and Charvaka, between Navin and his grandmother, between Aaliya and her boyfriend... everything is so real. Every word of it.

One dialogue between Maitreya and Charvaka, made a lasting impact on me "Your inaction is also your Karma" , and so does between Sohum and his grandmother "bas itna hi ho pata hai", and so does between Aida and reporter "Why is it so amazing to not have any limits or doubts". I must say the whole movie made a lasting impact.

Lastly what really carved my heart is the pounding heartbeat in the ending scene.The cave exploration, Was it a cave or human body? It gave whole new meaning to intuitive thinking, filmmaking and leaving a lot to think about.

Self exploration is the journey one must take to find himself.

This will surely get extended welcome from the fans of good cinema. My sincere request to movie distributors, please hang on and let this movie play for longer.

The Ideal Day

as imagined years before...

T.I.M.E.

Time as Metal - "Bahot time gal gaya yaar."

Time as Sand - "hath se fisal gaya yaar"

Time as Span - "kharab chal raha hai yaar"

Time as Opportunity - "mera accha time aane de"

Time as Weed - "Burn that time"

Time as Person - "Bahot time pass ho gaya yaar. "

Time as Tears - jane kab beh gaya katra katra ...

Time as Bird - udd gaya ...

Time as Time - ye sab kab hogaya pata hi nahi chala...

My First Car !

yes, finally !!!
It's Hyundai Accent Viva (ABS, 1.6L DOHC ). Brought it from Mahindra First Choice showroom for used cars. I decided to buy a used car after a lot if pondering over this purchase. And when I saw this powerful Black Pearl, I couldn't resist!!

Rest and Relax, stop the search.

I don't know whether all what I'm doing is right or wrong... I'm just trying to go with the flow and that's certainly not me. However I think that's what is the right thing to do! So keine problem. Rest and Relax !!! When you are already there don't start searching again, just Rest and Relax for a while... and don't forget to enjoy !

Happy Bday to Me :)

Half life !!! Turned 30.

Temple Run

I was running ... I got very good at it. I ran more than 5k meters in single run without tripping. I loved running. And then I explored the "Store". I was totally unaware of it before. It had many things to buy with coins. I started running to collect the coins to buy those powerups and wings and to live those extra personas alias characters. I lost all the joy of running and I became coin hungry runner completing objectives one by one. Now I run only for objectives not for fun. Temple Run taught a big lesson ... a lesson for life.

the best year has just began ... It's this year. Either I do it this year or never and I lead a normal life. And I have no plans to lead a normal life.


Happy New Year

Live Long & Prosper !

It's a message for that person from future

Life of Pi .. deserves a post !

This is how I saw it. Morale of the story ..the tiger is not an animal..it's something which challenges you and keeps you alive on your journey... teaches the art of life..of letting go and keep moving forward !

Careless

I have always been true to my blog... it's something like a diary since 2005.

Nowadays a lot of social networking has taken its toll on good old habits of reading, blogging...

So I have a taken a short break from all that..believe me I cant keep it away for longer ..the Fact is I'm an ENTJ. (figure what it is on your own, it will dawn some light on your personal life too, if you have passion for understanding good things, go for Myers-Briggs Indicator...ok.. enough clues)

Most of the times I'm misunderstood or not at all understood by those surround me and that's a childhood problem... courtesy physics and computers... sometimes I speak something which I only know what it means or a close friend who has stayed with me for long time and who knows my interest levels. I am blessed to have at least 5 friends like that. Very lucky man I am.


Coming back to blogging, It's always a clear reflection of my thoughts, moods..may be erratic, positive negative ..whatever... it's My Space.

Some people say I do a lot of facebook ..well I was a blogger SINCE 2005  and I had this hobby/habit of expressing myself... that time I used to send my blog links to my friends to get their feedback and comments. ONLINE space was ALIEN to them at that time. I joined "THE FACEBOOK" in 2008, none of my friends were even aware of "the facebook" then. Le 2011, everyone is online. Everyone is on FACEBOOK ...Now that they have entered the online space doesn't mean I stop doing what I was already doing since 2004. It's just that I'm more visible to them now.. and they say I do more... well guys you have come to my world so you will obviously see more of me ;) But that's not all. Blogging is always superior to all those random posts and likes on facebook. I have stopped sending links to my blog posts a long back.. never did I published my blog link anywhere else on social networking. It's something that reveals me ..laid bare my thoughts ..  so I keep it subtle, under wraps unless you find it on your own or stumble upon it.

Whats makes blogging different is it's free from interference. You write what you feel, you write not for the sake of someone to read it, but to express yourself..well at-least for me it's that way. It's not a tech or monetary blog to attract more traffic, rather musings of a soul on his journey.

Silence thundering Silence.

Sach hai samay ka hi...
