Soul Mates

Soul Mates????

This term has haunted me for the better part of my life. Haunted because I have vacillated back and forth between believing in it unreservedly and scoffing at it by turns. I never understood the true meaning of that word until I reconnected with mine.

I never quite realised that I did have a soulmate till this person reappeared in my life. At times momentous events happen to you whilst you are sitting in the midst of them and you never appreciate what you had till you didn't have it. When I first knew this person I was too naive to know exactly what drew me to this person or why I was so comfortable sharing everything. It just never occurred to me that this would be irreplaceable and unforgettable.

No one barring none, has even come close to being this amazing blend of a rock and velvet; this glorious mix of sweet and sour with spice thrown in. A soulmate is a friend and a foe all rolled into one. A delightful bundle of praise and pride and castigation. A safe place to lay out your worries, and listen to well-meaning advice.

A soul mate, as Phoebe of Friends puts it- He/She is my lobster. 😙😁😁😁 When a person is your lobster the connect is so rapid and so deep that even 25 years apart can not shake it or diminish it. You get an unassailable feeling of  "Homecoming", which you have looked for in family, friends, places, work, addictions and in relationships that have gone nowhere.
The looking could be due to a general sense of unease or even of  deep longing. But it's only when you have a soulmate that you realise what it's like to think in sync, what it's like to feel totally accepted, no holds barred.

Mine is too precious to share and yet too vital to hide...

I am so glad I found mine. I hope you do too....
Ciao!

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 ...

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...

Suicides

I am sorry, I am going to come across as terribly insensitive when I have said this but, what is all this fuss about? A celebrity was unable to cope with the pressures of the life he had chosen and gave up on living. I mean have you ever seen a rejected sportsperson commit suicide? And the person in question here actually had a degree from a very prestigious institute and could have looked for another job, but he didn't.  So my take on this is: 1- Nepotism is a fact in all walks of life. 2- A person who is suffering from Clinical Depression is a person who needs to be constantly monitored and a care-taker needs to be assigned, because patients of such depression always experiment with dosages and such. They also cease to take their medications. 3- Here it seems to have been the sister who was the designated care-taker, so why isn't she being questioned? 4- Also the doctor who was treating him said that SSR had discontinued his treatment. The correct protocol is to m...
