All is Well

All is well

All will be well
All has to be well.
It has to!

Life is pretty shitty as it is.
So I need to believe this....

All is well,
Or
All will be well.
I can't be a negative Nellie,
I can't insist that nothing will ever work out.
Because I have to believe that it will all end well.

I will meet some rotten apples along the way.
But I shall also meet really good people too.
I will be treated badly by some.
But I know people will also pamper me.
I have to believe that all will be well.

I know some things won't work out the way I want them too.
I also know that some things will fall perfectly into place.
I know that there will be unexpected setbacks.
But I also know that there will be unexpected windfalls.
Just because one happens doesn't mean the other won't.
I have to believe that all will be well.

I will have some good hair days,
And on other days my hair will be a frizzy mess.
On some days all that I order will turn out to be crappy.
And other days will be foodgasmic.
But, nonetheless I will believe that all will be well.

On some days I will fall,
On other days I will fly,
On some days I will stub my toe,
On some days I will have boundless energy.
Whatever happens, I need to believe that all will be well.

On some days the world will seem to be Godless,
On other days angels will be flying over my shoulders,
On some days the sunlight won't be able to light up my world,
On others a tiny lamp will make the universe radiant,
Whichever it is, I know that all will be well.

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...

Gehraaiyan

  Gehraiyaan This is one of the first hindi movies I have enjoyed in a long while, and that is because it is pure entertainment. I watched it and I liked it and I didn't try and explore its morality or the why's and wherefores. It might never become a cult classic like others in its genre, namely Silsila, Masoom, Arth or even Pati patni aur woh, but it is a decent watch. Fidelity is a state of the mind and even a golden oldie like Navrang addressed it as such. Putting that aside, this movie belongs to Deepika Padukone all the way. But, ah the dashing and devious devil, Siddhant Chaturvedi makes a mark too. Deepika/Alisha is a conflicted individual, whose backstory is relayed to us in bits and pieces. The irony is that, her perception of everything is colored by her version of the truth. Watch how she takes pictures and then crops them. That's a peak in to her state of mind. She tries to err on the safe side always, and it reflects in her choice of life partner even. Her cou...
