Fractures

Fracture
I have several fractured bones,
Some are just cracks,
But the bone is still together.
Some of them are more severe and have screws holding the bits together.
A piece of  bone is even missing, it was beyond repair you see.

I remember each and every time,
I remember the pain lancinating through my body,
I remember the drugs,
I remember the helplessness,
I remember the will it took to get me through each time.

What I don't remember though,
Is the times you fractured me.
I can't count how many cracks you caused my soul to have.
I don't even know when you caused the fissures in my heart to appear.

Were the blows sudden?
Were they pre-planned?
Did you never know what your actions did to me?
Or did you know and simply not care?

Do you see this deep crack in my soul?
It appeared when you created multiple Orkut accounts.

Do you feel this fissure in my heart?
You caused it when you cheated.

Do you see these wrinkles on my soul?
You brought them into bed with us.

Do you see these scratches on my heart?
You did that when you made others lie for you.

Do you see these unhealed rips in my soul?
You did that when you left me alone in a foreign land.

Do you see these shards of glass embedded in my heart?
You thrust them in when you were frolicking with your "FRIENDS"

The fractures you have given me exist today too.
But they are scarring over.
My soul is broken, but it's pieces are intact.
My heart is fractured, but it beats still.

The pieces of me you threw away I have learnt to live without.
The pieces you have left behind, are enough for me to live on.

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...
