Tears

Tears
It's been a while since my eyes were dry,
I can not remember the last time my pillow wasn't soaked in tears.

I can not remember when it was last that my morning did not start with a whimper and a tear rolling down my cheek.

I try to remember the good times,
but they just make me cry harder.

I try to type through misty eyes.
Then with tears I delete it all.

With watery eyes I scroll through my contacts and see your number,
Then with tear wet fingers I close the app.

With moist eyes I check for messages across all apps,
Then sobbing helplessly I exit them all.
After all what would happen?

Are there enough tissues to soak my tears?
Will these ever stop?
Shall my heart ever be pain free?

When will these tears stop?
If they will stop only when my heart stops beating, then so be it...

I will it all to stop now...
Now please ...

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...
