Paulie!!!!!!!!!

A storm in a tea cup!
A tempest in a tea-pot!
An octopus in a tank! Now that is a new phrase we should all add to our lingo. FIFA has been completely overshadowed by this minion of the waters. Where did this start? Who thought of it?
How did the owners dream up this idea? I am sure that there now exists a wikipedia page dedicated to this eight-armed animal. And i bet all my answers shall be found there.
Oracle or not little Paulie has sure taken the world by storm and news channels, celebrities and all of us are in the throes of an octupus obsession. I must confess that dread crept into my heart when i heard that he had selected the spaniards to win and i kept convincing myself and others that the flag colors of the two countries are so similair that the poor guy was confused. but, alas....
Now i am going to get in touch with Paul to show me some direction in life!
Ans i am going to hope that i can reach Paul before, he is stewed by the hapless germans....
Ciao

Thappad

Thappad The prelude to the aria that is Thappad, is a dizzying runabout of a homemaker's humdrum daily chores. It serves to establish the roles each character has established for themselves. The husband played by newbie, Pavail Gulati is wonderfully self-obsessed and completely oblivious to anything but his own needs. The wife played by Tapsee Pannu ( as if we didn't know! Ha ha!) is on the other end of the spectrum. She is hyper aware of the needs of all those around her and revels in being needed and being able to be of service. The nuances that are written into the script are sheer brilliance. Consider the opening montage introducing the main characters to us. The wife being driven about, the girlfriend being received with love and finally a super successful lawyer finding freedom in hanging out a car window. The conversation that ensues between all of them, sketches skillfully the back stories of the lot of them. The movie is far from being a chest beating comment...

Good things come in threes!

 For me, good things come in threes………. And yet again, three things that made my week and will for certain go on to make my weekend. A web series – The Ba***ds of Bollywood. This is such a fun ride. I must start with the mockery that is made of the entire Sameer Wankhede incident. They found an actor who closely resembles the real-life officer; it is hilarious. It is just good fun, and should be taken in that spirit, forget the cries of nepotism; I know of generations who practice the same profession repeatedly, so let us give this one a rest, shall we? It has all the ingredients of a bhel puri, and they are used well. So do not watch this one expecting caviar. We have seen Raghav Juyal and Lakshya Lalwani slug it out in Kill and show very good chemistry, so also in this one. One brilliant scene is the one in which the protagonist scares the heebie-jeebies out of a critic, who is totally modeled on Rajeev Masand. Too much fun! And such swagger! And ah Bobby Deol, the phoenix – what...
