Mind It !!!


The last few days I have been having so many thoughts running in my mind and too many questions have been popping in mind. Who is an interesting person? How is a boring one ? How do we know one is smart or why do we think one is dumb ? Well, I don’t have the answers to these question.But,I think one comes to the conclusion of the thoughts as one might have similar interest same as the other one.One is considered a bore if he get into a lot of the details or is totally the opposite of the other.

There is some mystery around one that can make one interesting.where as one cannot be considered solely on his ability to score grades as being intelligent or Dumb.

The practicality of application of problem and coming with solutions to problem can be one way of considering one being intelligent or Dumb.Also intelligence cannot be quantified if two people have the same thoughts and third one has another opinion. 

Intelligent person have also be one of the crowd and not part of a majority.Everybody can be intelligent or Dumb in their area of expertise.

It’s such a highly dillusional thought of differentiating one being intelligent or Dumb.Or for that matter Interesting or Bore.A Bore can be interesting to another person and an interesting Person can be Bore to another one.

The sense of an ending -Movie review !!


“The sense of an ending “a film directed by Ritesh Batra, Is based on the novel by the same name written by Julian Barnes. It’s about a business owner reuniting with his first love, after a letter and Diary force him to confront the past.

And after watching this film,You just realise one thing ,every filmmaker has a particular style which is unconsciously evident with this flick right from the relationship with an older and younger age character, to the story being about the material used to tell it.

While lunchbox was about the story moving forward through the letter being written to each other, To ” sense of an ending” is about the protagonist being in the lookout of a Diary that has some important revelations.

The film was slightly slow in the way the story was narrated,But the parallel story telling of the narration and what actually happened was an effective way of telling the story.

A form of storytelling that makes you want to tell stories as you are living those moments in the present.
To conclude if you loved Lunchbox,This is a must watch for you.

Travelling with Vegetarians, It’s a real challenge ,limited choices to choose from.
A vegetarian would start from the oil used for cooking,Sure right fish oil isn’t getting used.

For them Salad is their main course and snack.

If Italian isn’t part of the menu 

The whole process begins…. What to order? 

A vegetarian would land up eating the same thing for lunch and dinner.

A vegetarian doesn’t have the options of not liking any vegetables.And if they do they are truly following ‘The Moto stay hungry,Stay foolish’

A vegetarian diet is so full of Dairy products,Too much of something would keep them healthy always !

A vegetarian’s Best Friend is Another vegetarian and only a Jain friend would always land up as an acquaintance.

A non-Vegetarian can be friends with vegetarian friends only if they dine or lunch at restaurant which has both options and not either one of them.

A vegetarian from West Bengal can be a googly for some as Fish is considered Vegetarian here.

 

The Celluloid!! 


Are we nearing a time when watching movies at cinema theatres and multiplex won’t be fun any more? The recent movie experience made me question.This though.

Why does One watch a movie at cinema rather than watch a movie at home or television? 

Well,It’s not difficult to answer this one,But for the sole reason of watching a film the way it is without 

An unedited version rather than an edited version suitable for family viewing.This not about censoring some portions of the film.

But,About Censoring the abuse language with a Beep.Why? 

Not,That I enjoy listening to them aloud.But the beep takes away the cinematic experience an film

Offers at cinema theatre,Also if this is the case. Then why not download movies and watch from sites across world,We are only encouraging more piracy and looking at numbers not meeting the expected numbers as fewer audiences would rush to a multiplex to catch the latest release. And would wait for it to be premiered on Television.

If this is the case,There would be soon no HollyWood movies releasing at all at the cinemas as they would not see it as a profitable release.

And in time such as Introducing movie on demands via App for audiences to watch movies they have missed out.

This change itself makes you Question don’t we have any Creative freedom at all ? 

Where are we heading ?
