Bubbles


Here comes another one of my entries about LIFE...hehe...so recently I have been observing and noticing how easily we just get absorbed and lost in day-to-day life. Working around the clock and having no room to breathe...

Today I happened to spend sometime with this kid...blowing bubbles and just running around trying to catch them...it was fun indeed...bubbles bubbles every-where and we jumping up-down to catch 'em...aren't we also doing the same...Running after things we think will bring happiness and we try hard to get them...

The funny part is, just as kids, we the grown-ups love to live in the illusion that catching one of these bubbles we can hold them..haaha...but certain moments of happiness are ephemeral just like these bubbles..the more we try to hold onto them..the sooner they will burst...

so just enjoy each little reason to smile and spread your sunshine all around..running after bubbles may or may not be a good idea..

Cheers!

Ghajini - A love Story !?!?!

Aamir has done it again. I usually would not write about a movie on my blog unless it really moved me to think. Well Ghajini has done it this time and here I am penning down the first entry of 2009 to my blog.

Ghajini - I perceived it to be a rather pensive and intense love story. Aamir and the makers of this movie have taken love to different level altogether. Despite of short-term memory loss handicap, Sanjay Singhania's sole objective for living is avenging his lady love's wrongful death. This speaks volumes about the love he had for her.

Aamir's versatility to portray a character from both ends of the horizon is simply spectacular. From the handsome, suave and educated businessman to the ruthless, beast-like man whose reason to living each day without knowing what had happened just 15mins ago. What is note-worthy yet again in his movie is the complete surrender and sincerity with which he drapes himself into the character he plays. The eight-pack abs and the young-look is awesome. At the same time, the portrayal of a near vegetable-like man scrambling to live on with the only motive of vengeance, with death and pain in his eyes - priceless!

Asin, definitely is a good actor with great screen presence. Having done the same role in the Tamil movie, yet the freshness in her portrayal of Kalpana is remarkable. Despite a shorter role she leaves quite an impression. Her eyes speak volumes without uttering a word in the most unnerving of scenes.

Action-packed, fine cinematography and acting by Aamir and Asin - Ghajini is a winner all the way. Kudos to Aamir for such work and expressions that Aamir and only Aamir could make it happen in Bollywood.
