New York

New York, the most populous city in the United States and the Center of international affairs is one of the destinations I would definitely like to go sometime. But this is not at all about the location "New York" ...it is the movie I managed to see yesterday (thanks to my boss who conveniently agreed to grant me a break for it...sshhhhh :P )

I had great expectations from the movie not because I have not seen any flick from the past 2-3 months but because I somehow liked the promos very much! Katrina K appeared very lively and John A & Neil Nitin M were ....were....well....they looked wow!

So its like i already knew John is a terrorist and that KK and JA would die in the climax....but alas! the story managed to keep the interest alive. The initial college days of the threesome never reminded me of mine :| :| but i liked it! The scene when NNM gets a pic clicked at the entrance of college was --> :D ....i bet i would have done the same if I were to join my dream college. The best part was the trust and faith all of them had in each other.

The director conveyed a meaningful message in such a simple way - quite admirable. There was no criticism in the entire movie and yet the communication was crisp and clear. Things will not be fair every time but it is our decision to chose the path of our life. I agree that right or wrong are relative terms but the outcome of right decision is only "right" and wrong is only "wrong". You got to decide! It is not easy to overcome the depression and sadness when you lose your dignity and self-respect b'coz that is human nature. You may not be able to forgive people easily ...but bad times ought to be forgotten.

Also...being emotional is not bad at all, as some people say, but emotions should be your strength and not weakness. Your respect is in your arms - its the way you see it. And we must learn to forgive....its the best medicine to move ahead in life!

The movie becomes extremely emotional towards the end and you cannot leave the audi with dry eyes for sure. The loyalty of NNM for his friends was commendable, even in turbulent times he held his head firmly on his shoulders - he believed in himself and his friends! He never ditched them and was always hopeful to bring things back to normal. Performance-wise KK was definitely in her best forms and so was JA...NNM was no exception as well. And yes, how can i forget Irfan K!! He is one of those fine actors who can tote such critical subjects with ease....and of course his distaste for pasta..haha! superb actor he is...

Music was exemplary..."Hai Junoon" was my favourite till i watched the movie....and now its "Tune Jo Na Kaha" as well - very serene and soothing to my eardrums!

Overall - it is a very meaningful and thought provoking movie - a message that needs to be conveyed to the whole world. We've got ONLY one life and we must utilize it to make things beautiful...there is so much to do!

May God bless us All

Sometimes I feel being in heaven and wish time stands still in there. This weekend was really good – mum is finally convinced I CAN cook something and I’m so glad she is relieved. Lol! And today Sunny and I had a loooooong discussion about our lives, our careers, our aims, people around us etc etc. It is really amazing to share your thoughts with your brother when you can actually laugh at the moments spent together, when you can discuss about your dream world, when you can crib about the people you have to adjust at times, when you can guide each other (we know each other soooo well......damn :P) and when your brother listens to your request and makes that best tea in the world!!! Since mum is not supposed to do heavy work these days, we both cleaned up our home and I enjoyed our spats completely; I kicked him so many times, hit him, hugged him.....my sweetest Bro!! Love you Sun....May God bless you with everything you wish for. I think I can never enjoy this much.... anywhere else but with my family!

My room fills me with lots of positive energy – I feel I can do anything in this world. As they say "darkness is only the absence of light", i do feel problems are nothing but our thoughts. Anytime we think a problem is there, that thought itself is the problem. We can conquer anything in this life with a winning thought - just need to learn to play, write, read, relax, get involved, love and care; care for the people touching our lives. Bring a smile on anyone’s face and feel the tremendous consequences coming out of it – this feeling is second to none.

Oh man! This is my first blog of year 2009 – well not bad at all. I hope I keep on filling the disk space of blogger servers a bit more frequently.

Cheers!
