Margarita with a straw 

A movie based on calebral  palsy with Kalki as the lead ,playing the character .movie has quite a few issues addressed in the duration of 102 mins  . One of them being it’s difficult to survive and live  in a country like India if you are not “normal being “,it’s difficult for the family to manage a handicapped person because of the way people behave  and the complete way of living changes if you are physically challenged 

How much ever a physical challenged person tries to live a normal life it’s just not possible .United States of America is the place for all including the handicapped  ,that gives them respect ,individual identity and a freedom to live life in their own terms .The films title Actually comes from when one evening Kalki is out with the “blind” girl and orders a margarita with a straw because she find it difficult to have it without One .and then the story moves to a point where she is confused not yet sure that she is bisexual .The film had quite a few light moments where you could laugh for that moment .
The film industry has tried to focus on each and every medical condition recently ,but the content for the time seems stretched ,if they could just make it more interesting with some more content it could be better ,It was a good movie but could have been slightly shorter by by 15-20 min because the 2nd  half to me was the repetition of the first half .
Watch margarita with a straw for the acting done by the actors .

Shoot experience !!!

Being part of a  shoot can be a fun thing to do, especially if you know most of them….. it’s better because the chances of you getting bored are slightly low .But again it can become boring if you have to be with the same people for a long period of time and when there is hardly any involvement of yours and with a schedule of last moment changes to a lazy approach and no time management at all ,can make you just wonder when will this ever finish ?

Have they lost interest ?

Are they forced to do this ?

And yes I understand the film industry works like this , But, here we are a group who have taken up this assignment to do something worthwhile and have given are time to it .But if that time is itself not being utilised to the fullest the delays will only cause frustrations and make us feel like how long can I be in that holiday mood ?

One day, two days but the third day we should put the same energy for things we are passionate about,which I guess was missing In this project where we all were students and giving our time to some fun ,some work on one location with 3 actors and 5 assistants and 4 camera men, the output could hardly be seen. 

And to conclude this experience I would just say yes, too many cooks just spoil the broth

The World Cup performance 

Indians are crushed by the Australian in Australia once again ,some things in history don’t change .

Like today we couldn’t chase  300+ against Australia even after playing in their country for the last 4 months  ,chasing is surely are biggest weakness ,losing a toss is another thing that goes wrong with us .

The  team hasn’t improved at all ,about 12 years ago ,2003 World Cup final we just scored 234 and today too 233 on both occasions we were playing against the same team and had a good start but could not make use of it ,they were  too dependable on the top 3  batsmen and if they don’t performe  ,the middle order tends to collapse under pressure and added to this if the captain doesn’t perform it’s total disaster.

The fighting spirit is just not there 330 was not difficult ,they made it look difficult and the battle was lost with 4 down for 100 and not taking off when needed ,also Mostly everybody expected India to make it in the semifinals with the way there were placed and there were no surprises with other team too being part of the later knockout stages and the semi too were expected to be played amongst these ,only the hype of India playing against  pak kept the fans on their toes to watch the QF between the host and the visitor .

But the semi final was the real test ,the real World Cup and the real battleground which mattered ,but couldn’t be won .

Ok I agree we could not win 8/8 matches this World Cup ,today must not have been our day ,but what do you have to say about the loss by 95 runs and with 3 overs to spare and no where close to the target .

And what do you have to say about the missed opportunity that changed the game ?

Do you believe you were over confident this time ?for this real test .

If we were champions ,why dint we show it .has the Midas touch from our captain disappeared ?

Friendship !!

Making a friend ,these days has become easier than ever before, and boasting of having X number of friends on a particular social networking site or on some photo sharing app and many other places has made it clear that we have quite a large number of friends wherever we go .

Some of us are so friendly that we can just make friends every second… while travelling ,on the job and just a place where we visit frequently But have we every given a though to maintaining friendship? ..in the true “sense of friendship ” has there been anyone who you must be friends with but find it taxing to keep your friendship and you’d rather keep in touch with them whenever you have a ” job needed to be done “and even if you have to do it or done it in the past don’t you find it challenging to maintain this friendship and do we as people seriously maintain our  childhood friendships,school friends or college friends because we want to be with them or we have to do it because they have been part of us while we were growing up ?

Can we ever maintain friendship with the friends we made ?
Can friendship with a friend who we meet after years , start from the same point and can everything still remain the same after the gap ?
Is making new friends the way of showing off how popular we are amongst the group ?or is it a way to avoid maintaining friendship with the old ones by making them jealous of your social circle .
Is making new friends more important than maintaining your friendship ties ?

Sibling rivalry or love ?

Today I just came across an interesting thought while sipping my coffee ,and overheard two people speak about…. How having a sibling (sister) can make any difference when it comes to behaving in front of a girl.,it’s a little difficult for me to write this because I have a sibling (sister) and don’t know how living without one would be like, but all I can say it’s a little easy to understand the other girls because I live with my sister ,I know you would say nobody can understand a girl but you can surely understand them a little better, about their
emotional needs and what they might like or dislike ,when is it a good time to speak to them and when to leave them ,it take years but I have grown up with my sister and her friends so I can understand what it might be like to be a guy with a sibling and understand the other girls .also a sibling (sister ) can give you a foundation of how to behave in front of girls
Imagine not having a sister just makes me wonder that I might just be a little more shy than I am now ,a little less confident and nervous when taking to girls
