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

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...
