Suicides

I am sorry, I am going to come across as terribly insensitive when I have said this but, what is all this fuss about? A celebrity was unable to cope with the pressures of the life he had chosen and gave up on living. I mean have you ever seen a rejected sportsperson commit suicide?
And the person in question here actually had a degree from a very prestigious institute and could have looked for another job, but he didn't.

 So my take on this is:

1- Nepotism is a fact in all walks of life.

2- A person who is suffering from Clinical Depression is a person who needs to be constantly monitored and a care-taker needs to be assigned, because patients of such depression always experiment with dosages and such. They also cease to take their medications.

3- Here it seems to have been the sister who was the designated care-taker, so why isn't she being questioned?

4- Also the doctor who was treating him said that SSR had discontinued his treatment. The correct protocol is to make sure that the patient is seeking help elsewhere and inform the care-taker. This also wasn't done.

5- Mahesh Bhatt's own daughter is suffering from Clinical Depression and with the family's support she is pulling on.

6- About Deepika's claims as to her own illness, I have doubts about the veracity of that.

7- See people like Catherine Zeta Jones, who have really done a lot for the management of this disease by sharing her own experience with the disease.

8- One of my best friends from childhood suffers from this and she is pulling along with the help of her loved ones.

9- For whatever reasons his family couldn't help him see this through. So why blame only one aspect of his life?

10- Also his own sister the one who was in the US had said that she was afraid he would do something like this.

So, maybe I have a hard heart, but I do know that when a person commits suicide it is because several things break and not just the one!

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...
