Dear Pain

Dear Pain,
You have been my companion for more than 10 days now,
You have been searing at times,
And dull at others.
At times you have been a niggle
And at times a full fledged maelstrom inside of me.

Whatever you have been,
You have never been absent.
You have made your presence felt with each step that I took.

You have been like a possessive lover,
Who wants complete compliance, but wants to give nothing away.
You haven't been gentle,
You have been all consuming,
It's time for us to break up.

I know you are here for a reason,
Had it not been for you, I wouldn't even know that there was anything wrong with me,
But I'd like you to be more of a passing acquaintance and less a permanent resident,
Please go now that you have done your job.

I know that I won't live out my life without running into you,
But, please, please, please make your visits shorter,
Even if you can't reduce the frequency of your visits,
At least reduce the intensity.

Let me heal,
Before you make your next visit,
Let me breathe in deeply,
And not feel your presence,

Love Always......

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...
