Receiving

Some of us are Givers
Some of us are Takers
Some of us suck at Giving
Some of us suck at Receiving

The fact that one can't be a Giver is ok.
But the fact that one can't be a Taker is a little tough to understand.

Shouldn't Receiving be easier than Giving?
I mean, one has to do nothing.
Just receive for crying out aloud.

Just stand still and be showered with Love.
Just sit down and be Cared for!

It does not hurt, I promise!
By a baby's tiny bum I swear!
Being loved or cared for doesn't harm you.

Be at a deluge of love,
Or a drizzle of care,
Take it!

What if the Giver ceases to exist and can Love you no more,
What if the only care you get is from across the worlds?
Wont you miss the Love and Care?
Wont you miss whatever you could have got?

So stretch out your hands now,
Feel the rain of love and care,
Clutch the raindrops in your palm,
You never know when these drops will dry up,
Hoard the feel of these drops,
Remember their caress on your palms,
Feel the warmth,
Save these memories for when you have no Love any more.
But Receive whatever you can now.

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...
