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...

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...
