Giving Up

Some people have Picassos for destinies.

Others are handed shards of glass...

The sharp contrast of having and wanting is what is gut wrenching.
Otherwise a person with shards of glass knows not what is missing. It is only when confronted with a Picasso, that a broken destiny actually realises what is missing.
The unravelling of the half knitted knotty garment is a given then.  And it begins as soon as the Picasso is unveiled.

Yet, some show the greatest fortitude and immense reserves of strength to serve up enough heat to melt the shards of glass.....

Shards can be remodelled to beautiful pieces of glass sculpture....
But where does one summon these reserves of strength from???
Not every broken destiny can be rejoined barring a miracle....
And if divine intervention doesn't occur then ?
What a super human effort that requires...

Isn't it supremely easier to just let go and let everything shatter to smithereens?
Without care to what happens to the world you leave behind?

It is much easier sometimes to just give up....

Much easier to let go of the edge of the cliff.....

Much easier to just close your eyes and never wake up.....

Much easier to just let go......

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...
