Stop Loving

Stop Loving

The problem is never how to love?
How much to love isn't an issue either.

The biggest problem is how to stop?
Turning on the switch is actually ridiculously simple.
Sometimes the switch snaps on.
At other times it drops down with excruciating slowness.
Sometimes there is fuzzy logic involved.
But once the switch is on, you will find it a herculean task to turn it off.

However slowly the penny drops, once it is slotted, it's almost impossible to retrieve.
The penny at times hits a jackpot,
And your life is filled with riches.
At times the penny yields nothing and you move on.
But the tough part is when it was your last penny, and now it's gone and the casino is the only winner and you are left with less than nothing.
Whatever the case, you aren't seeing that penny again.

Falling in love is like being at the airport.
Most of us are able to board the flight correctly,
But some of us end up missing our flights,
In spite of doing it all right.
You have cleared security,
You are in front of the boarding gate,
And yet you miss the flight,
Through no fault of yours,
Your co-passengers have all departed with nary a goodbye....

Now you want to fall out of love?
Is that happening?
Nopes.....
You have a better chance of getting a refund on your ticket!

Qala

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...
