Books

In your life,

I can be an entire book
I can be an epic tome.
I can be a fast paced thriller.
I can be a lurid erotic read.
I can be a courtroom drama.
I can be a soul wrenching saga.
I can be a frothy Mills & Boon.
Tell me your choice and I shall write that.

In your life,

I can be a short story,
It could have a twist in the climax.
It could have a happily ever after.
It could end in a cliff-hanger.
It could end on a bittersweet note.
It could rip out your soul.
Tell me what you want and I shall type it.

In your life,

I can be a chapter in the book of your life.
It could be the best part of the book of your life.
It could be the worst part of the book of your life.
It could be the most well read chapter in the book of your life.
It could be the least visited one in the book of your life.
Tell me how you want it and I shall edit it.

In your life,

I could be a bookmark,
I could be the feather of an exotic bird,
I could be the picture of your dear one,
I could be a nickname scrawled across a stub,
I could mark a favorite chapter,
I could mark a new beginning,
I could mark a point to be avoided.
I could be caressed often,
Or I could be stuffed inside and ignored,
Or I could be thrown away without a care,

Tell me which one should I become.

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...
