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.

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...
