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!

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...

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...
