Adoption......

I once read in Linda Goodman's book that people with the sun sign-Aries tend to adopt people rather than befriend them....

Hmmmmm.... many many many years later methinks that I agree.

The main problem in this scenario is that the person who gets adopted often doesn't realize that he has been adopted and then ensues a comedy of errors and often a tragedy of high proportions.....
All this in because of expectations and no expectations I guess...

So I think that it is best to go slow and not help people unless they ask for help, we should just watch people falling into holes and then rush forward only when they cry out aloud( aka Mahi..)     .....Naaah! This is something that I have never done and will never do, I shall always warn the person that there is a pit before they fall in, and if the person feels that my warning just slowed them down, just too bad ya!

Saw GOW yesterday and was so impressed, what a movie, too blasting good....

Also am two-thirds done with my chanting...tried to chant without the text and failed so miserably, so all I can conclude is that I have probably developed some sort of a mental block for that chant, coz I certainly was able to memorize other stuff....hmmmm.. Maybe Miss Marple can tell me how to get to the bottom of this...

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...

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...
