Nurture and Nourish

Buy a pot.
Fill it with soil.
Add a little manure.
Sprinkle in Love.

Sow the seeds.
Water daily.
Turn over the soil.
Shower it with Love.

Guard it from the harsh sun.
Save it from the pouring rain.
Warm it in the winters.
Cocoon it in your Love.

Put in sticks to support the seedlings.
Surround it with a fence.
Shoo away the predatory birds.
Lay down your life for it if need be.

Stay awake to keep it company.
Tear away the thorny weeds.
Let the drops of your blood nurture it.
Stand over it like a scarecrow to defend it.

Stand aside,
Watch the flowers bloom,
Stand aside,
Do not dictate what color they should be,
Just love what your seeds have become.

Stand vigilant,
Watch the fruits ripen,
Accept whatever shape they are,
Accept whatever size they are,
Just love what your seeds have given you.

Just Love.......... Unconditionally....

Good Beginnings!

Just created a space for myself and dont know what to write here. But do know that i needed a space to vent,to muse,to express,to generally be silly! Lets see how it goes!

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...
