Blast from the Past!!!

One walks through college life with an immense sense of freedom and hopes to conquer the world.
Often in the process you rub people the wrong way or people do that to you.
What often comes with you for a lifetime is a mixed bag of emotions for that period of your life. And one can carry huge chips on the shoulder.
Then suddenly social media introduces or rather re - introduces you to all those classmates.
It happened to me to when I was added to a group with my ex - classmates.
And I was so filled with trepidation regarding the group that for a few months I absolutely refused to participate in any activity on the group. But as time progressed I have slowly seen more and more of my prior classmates on the group and it has been such a source of delight to me to interact with them,that I am left wondering what it was that made me apprehensive in the first place?

The group that I am on is so unconditional in its love and acceptance that all the good I remembered from college has come to the fore and suddenly all I have are pleasant memories. Could it be that the perception was all mine?

And I find something new each day in my gallery of memories which is connecting me these galaxy of ladies.

How did I forgot how much I enjoyed their company?

Loads to be said for social media....
I am so happy to be in touch with all of them.

I hope this camaraderie lasts a lifetime now!

Viva la gurlz!

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...

Silent Bystanders. ....

At times one sees people behaving in the most despicable way and one itches to say something. I witnessed such a wrong being perpetrated today and to my utter shame I just stood by and then later mutely walked away. Yes, there were others present and yes someone else could have said something. But none of us did. And neither did I. Exactly what is it that held me back? Maybe the thought that this wasn't my fight or the fact that I wanted to have no rep ercussions coming my way...... Whatever....... I didn't take a stand and I could have..... It's a shame I shall cart around for a while.... I wish I could turn back time, but I can't and knowing that so well today could possibly make me more stronger ahead.... Maybe......
