The Good Road

"The Good Road"

The Good Road was a movie in 2013
Yes , I got to watch the film which  was selected as the entry  for the best foreign language for the 86th Academy awards .
 but was  not nominated. and So I also saw whether it made sense to send this movie or the other movies like Lunchbox and Ship of theseus.And so here my personal view on this . 

 The film is where several stories are intertwined with the center of the action being a highway in the rural lands of Gujarat  near the town of  Kachch.

The Story of a boy who is lost and then found while his family is on a holiday trip to Kuchch
Sonali Kulkarni, remember pooja in Dil  Chahta hai. Yes she is the mother of the boy who goes missing and is one of the cast 
 and also the movie shares a message of how we (Indians ) are very connected emotionally with our families . And how over time even the people who didn’t like the people become so close to each other that they find it difficult to say goodbye .
Also I always wondered how one could grip the audience for a movie on road journey, but it was interesting and Its good to know that the upcoming filmmaker,director are willing to take the risk of experimenting .

Wolf of wall street

"The Wolf Of Wall Street"

The wolf of wall street , movie was an autobiography of Jordan Ross Belfort  an American who was a  former stockbroker convicted of Fraud,  crimes related to stock market being manipulated for which he spent 22 months in prison

 Starring Leonardo DiCaprio,Jonah hill and Margot Robbie  and directed by Martin Scorsese,  the movie was interesting and the Cast  Leonardo DiCaprio  Margot Robbie  and Jonah hill were good in the movie,Jonah hill acted well as a supporting cast for Leonardo DiCaprio since there were a few dialogues which were humorous for the audience which mostly came from the character played by Jonah hill .This movie is surely a must watch for all those aspiring to being in the finacial sector as it gives out the message of what happens behind the office spaces ,and not just the entertainment sector .
Its surely a movie for those who feel well they can make money in no time ….But will know the consequences too of it .

An Experience!!!

The Mahindra AQ

The day had finally arrived of the AQ(AutoQuoitient) ,and we were wondering what the format would be like ,what the question would be like,who might the participants be ? and so the two of us , one a crazy auto lover , who has dedicated a blog and has a page too on social networking sites and the other who was interested in the event but was a little skeptical . so it was 15:45 when I just couldn’t wait to leave home ,yes I was a little excited & nervous since for the first time ever I was participating on such a platform .So I was at the andheri station ,and roaming around the the shops near the station and was surprised to see two shops by the same owner in the premises ,also was totally shocked to see two McDonalds right opposite each other ,when my team member called to ask are you on the right McDonalds or the left .(Mind you they were right opposite each other)….it was funny trying to explain to him where , so i stood between them . And then at 16:40 we left the station ,tried to get a auto rickshaw ,but just when we could not handle the rejection by the auto driver we realised to walk it ,and just when we reached the lane ,we saw a rickshaw willing to take us ,but on per seat bases ,so this time we rejected him when we were just 10minutes away ,but since it was already 17:00 and we really dint know where we have to go and we took the rickshaw finally to bhavan’s college ,and there we were ,the participants were all working people,engineers and passionate auto lovers ,and we were looking like the youngest ,we were the youngest and so the written round started and we were clueless ,such technical questions and we could just answer about 4-5 correct question out of 20 question . Yes we were disqualified ,and sat in the auditorium to understand what sort of questions are asked ,and the Q&A started the question made us think again are we really auto fans ?but,I was like ,we should at least try and take a goodie bag ,But couldn’t get close to it . This was an annual car quiz sort of an event ,which has been held for the past five year ,but for the past four year they were for the employee of the organiser ,its a popular Indian car brand and this year it was open to public ,so we had gone for the event.

 

Happy Diwali!!!

Diwali -festive season

 

this is Diwali !!! a week before

Diwali !!! its just a week away and it doesn’t really feel like the festive season is here ,you can hardly see any lights, and decoration ,also the firecracker have all gone silent ,in a way its surely is good to see that the pollution level and noise pollution falling ,but some noise should be there to feel its Diwali,also at a recent Diwali party I noticed people clicking more of there photography rather than playing cards like we normally would do with token(coins) from the past few years .Also I guess ,Diwali has not being given that much of importance ,since we have internet,so many apps and so many events all over the year its just become like any-other festival ,And since in India the dollar ,the economy downturn has made people more careful this Diwali,its become such a peaceful festival from the nosiest good for the environment .

Also the importance of Diwali will soon Dissappear at this rate ,I remember reading somewhere about kids asking there parents can we celebrate Diwali on our tablets ,this to me was like a joke when I first read ,but now its a serious thought to think about .

Technology is ruling us ,not we ruling the technology .

Anyways .

Happy Diwali !!!
