Taare Zameen Par-a star of a movie


To watch "Taare Zameen Par" and remain silent would be incredulous.
It's a one-in-a-lifetime movie mah dears!
You simply ought to watch it.

Its excellent cinematography,heart tugging music scores,beautiful story,believable dialogues,good casting..Oh the casting!

Darsheel Safary who played the protagonist boy Ishaan Awasthi slips into his character so easily,that you have no other choice but to believe him! The way he jolts scaredly as the car's engine comes to life;taking his family back home after dropping him at the boarding school; way too natural!

Ishaan is a 9 year old dyslexic.No one understands why the boy is so stubborn,makes spelling mistakes, is interested only in painting.His mom is very loving and tries to get him on track.
But to no avail.

Things begin to get out-of-hand, and he is put in a boarding school.
The song "Maa" is soo touching!At the new school too Ishaan faces the same scoldings,punishments. He begins to lose interest even in his beloved painting.

That's when the new art teacher arrives with a wave of newness,singing the energetic,happy song :bum bum bole".Amir Khan excels as the art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh.
It is Nikumbh who finds out Ishaan's problem,and gets him back on track.

A must watch.
I might have forgotten to put in some of the better points.
Sorry if I have left this post incomplete!

I discovered the "Library Thing"!


And it's good!

I can catalogue all my books online.Neat stuff.

I came across the Library Thing from someone's blog.The author had a library thing widget.

You can communicate with ppl who have the same(spookily enough same) interests as you.

There are groups for posting messages.You can make new friends,review books,plus do a lot of other things too!

I'm a beginner,so I'm still at the 'discovering phase'.

Try it oh,you book maniacs.You might like it!


And if you know better sites,let me know!
And if anyone's in "library thing",tell me;I'm with zero friends currently![Boo-hoo!]

Missed a wedding, so I'm blogging instead

I'm not supposed to be here blogging now.
I was supposed to be at a wedding having fun.
Remember Sporty's sister's wedding?Its today.
But because of a strike;which included vehicles too;I couldn't move outside my home.Mph!
I'm burning with jealousy..
Oh, this place will never improve unless people become pro-active and take measures against these violent elements in the state.Some party people killed their rival party's member.As a sign of protest,the slain's party has called total strike.People don't seem too bothered either, that political murders are happening all the time in this country.They have just grown hard-hearted.
"Another person murdered?Then there won't be any vehicles out today,huh?Bother,I'd thought of doing some shopping today in town".

That's the way they think now.Not something like,
"Another murder?Where is humanity gone to?So sad for that family"

No way!
It's more in this way-
If a party stabs one person,
their rival makes sure to stab at least two.

Disgusting!So pathetic!

And once when my friends were discussing of a particularly brutal murder(the murdered was a school bus driver, a masked gang made all the kids in the bus run away and ran after the distraught driver and stabbed him to death.He is survived by a wife and two very young children.),one said that her acquaintance remarked "very good".

You ask why so?
Because this murder was in retaliation to another murder.And in the latter's case too a small child was left orphaned.

But still,that's no reason to react so coldly.

No wonder we have the highest record of crime committed,when compared to the rest of India.

Wedding season

It's the wedding season at college.
A lot of weddings coming one after the other.
This sunday is Sporty's sister's wedding.And she has invited half the college for it.So its sure that we'll have a ball this Sunday!!
On February 3rd,we'll be witnessing the wedding of a classmate.Yipes!
Atleast 4 girls are engaged, and getting married this year itself.
And amidst all this hullabaloo some of my friends are getting dreamy-eyed wondering what their wedding day will be like.
Don't dare ask me!
I'm not into weddings at all.If anything I'm the one who was shell shocked, when one classmate whom I didn't expect to get married so soon,online declared that she's engaged.
And I was like--NO WAY!
LIAR!
TRYING TO FOOL ME!
And such other thoughts buzzing in my head.

So what's my plan to do after college?
Study some more years,get a good job,save money,go globe trotting,then live single!!!!

That's it!

I know it mightn't work out the way I want it,but still..who's gonna stop me from dreaming?
================================================================
That's the original post.Mom was troubled by my declaration to be a single.
SO I TAKE IT BACK.
Just for a peaceful life.I'd rather stay away from getting mommy tensed.;)
