Disposal & Recyclable Humans.

It is wonderful to see how the cities have by and large adapted to the methodology of segregating garbage into three main components-  Wet, Dry & Recyclable.

I think that long before this system was applied to waste disposal, human beings already were using such a system in their lives for others of their ilk.

Thus, we have a system in which we have a mental categorization of exactly what purpose and to what extent we want to use another individual.

So we have friends with whom to watch movies, and other friends to hang out with at drinking holes, and then others with whom we share book details. Also there are friends with whom we share silly stuff that no one else seems to understand at all. And here I am using the word friend in it's loosest form with a very very expanded bandwidth. 

Add to this gamut the people whom we go to just to cry and unburden yourself on. ( you are lucky if you have one of these in your life!) and of course needless to say these aren't the people whom we go rushing to, when something good happens to us. These are just the punching bags who see our angst and our bad moments, but somehow when the dice rolls in our favor, they aren't privy to it.

These are all the recyclable humans in our life whom we utilize from time to time, and then recycle as when it suits our purpose, but the best category I think would be the category of the Disposable Humans we inculcate.

These are the unclassified group of individuals with no nomenclature, whom we feel the need to be with for some period of time, and the best part is that we do occasionally inform this category that you are here only to be part of my life for as long as I need you and then you gotta vamoose. Any which ways, this category is bound to be disposed of,

This category of people share the same destiny as a Paper Tissue or a Sanitary Napkin. They are destined to be used and thrown. It is crazy that this category would want any better for themselves, after all a paper tissue does know that it's function is to wipe away tears, be they of sorrow or happiness. It's useless to try and treat these people any better than what they are destined for. And over time these disposable humans too know that the only contact they will have with the others is if they are ready to be used, so they lay themselves down repeatedly to be trodden upon. 

But that's okay, they know their destinies, they know better than to expect anything more. So why should we hold back from ill-treating these people? They are after all just fulfilling their destinies!

So without compunction we can go ahead and recycle and dispose off humans!
It is so written!

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...

Qala

Anvita Dutt, is a master story teller. And she, tells this one well too. She and Kanika Dillon have a knack of painting their leading ladies in shades of grey. Whilst Kanika brings in the whacky and the wild, Anvita brings in the angst. It makes for great entertainment.  This movie seeps in slowly and is for those of you who like the slow burn. There is drama and angst and tragedy and it leaves you wondering, what did I just watch? Was this a movie or sheer art? And it is a movie that stays with you for a bit.  The visuals are stunning, particularly those of the boat on the water. The noir-ish feel of the movie fits the mood perfectly. One does know what has happened and why, but the visuals and the artistry keep you in thrall. This is the story of a woman, who learns to be competitive in her mother's womb itself. Her quest for survival began in the womb itself. She then spends all her childhood and teen years having only her mother and constantly craving her validation. Is ...

Chhapak

Chhapak I stand in line at Starbucks and take forever to decide what drink I want, what size it should be, what flavour should go in, what milk is to be used...so on and so forth. So many choices... Imagine if you had no nose, and the doctor treating you asked you to make a choice of the type of nose you wanted? If you sink into it, Chhapak gives you many such moments of introspection. You can't call Chhapak an entertainer and you couldn't label it a documentary. It's a biography in a genre of its own. The last time something invaded my being like this was the documentary on Amy Winehouse. I make no bones about it, this is an extremely tough film to watch and you will carry it with you for days. But watch it you must, for the crafty screenplay which will hold you in thrall as will the strength with which Meghna Gulzar directs this. I have said this before, and I say it again, the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. It is the story of an Acid Attack Survivor, Laxmi Ag...
