Tum Bin

Ik Jaraa Haath Badhaa De To, Pakad Le Daaman
Us Ke Seene Mein Samaa Jaaye, Humaaree Dhadakan
Itanee Kurbat Hain To Fir Faasalaa Itanaa Kyon Hai?

Sloth: One of the seven deadly sins

A gloom has set in.
There is no motivation and no inspiration...
Creativity is down.
Why? I dont know.
Hope as the time passes I will be back to myself again.

A poem

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I dont know any other way of loving
but this, in which there is no I or you,
So intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
So intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

Pazhassi Raja: A movie as heroic as its hero

After a long gap I saw a movie in the theatre, which happens to be Pazhassi Raja. A visual treat indeed, the movie has a lot of interesting shots and has succeeded in capturing the beauty of Coorg. I dont have to mention the sound effects when they come from the winner of Oscar itself. But thinking back now on the movie, I can remember only a lot of battles and bloodshed. I knew I couldnt expect dancing-around-the-tree kind of romance in a historical movie like Pazhassi Raja. Still, the blood was shed quite a lot.

As for acting all of them were just great. I dont know who did better, Mammotty or Sarath Kumar. Both were wonderful, though my favorite in the movie is Sarath Kumar. I have a new-found respect for him now. I mean this must be his greatest performance in his whole career graph. Mammootty of course repeats his forte from Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha. In fact there is even a shot that reminds me of the old movie. When it comes to Padmapriya I totally agree with the director's choice of casting...she did total justice to the role. The rest of the star cast was also good, though the movie would've continued without a break even without Kaniha, who acted as Mammootty's wife. Maybe the director thought the audience needed a break from warfare and politics, which is why he added a song and some romance.

On the whole a memorable movie!

Book I have to read soon

Not that I am a big fan of Dan Browne. But the kind of mystery that he writes intrigues me. Which is why I need to read his The Lost Symbol soon. But to tell you the truth I was a little disappointed with The Da Vinci Code. Maybe b'coz I expected more. And the puritan in me doesnt like the idea of Christ being married. Oh, the things a Catholic school forces inside the head!
