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...

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...
