The Movie Experiment

Experimenting with movies is one of the fun things I like doing. There is so much to choose from. You never know what you might end up liking. I am not going to elaborately discuss the plots of some of the movies I watched this past week but just mention as to why people must watch the movies I watched. If you have liked any of the movies I mention and can recommend some more please do.

Starting with Bommarillu which is one of the nicest movies I have seen in a really long time. The thing I liked most about the movie is the fact that there is no break in the flow of the story. Everyone can relate to it on some level and makes for an excellent movie to watch with the family. I also ended up watching Pokiri. I hadn’t heard about Pokiri ever. When the movie started I was pretty sure I wouldn’t like it at all but after the first 15 minutes of the movie I was hooked. Where Bommarillu is a nice family movie, Pokiri is extremely violent. Both are definitely worth a watch and depending on the individual the movies can be viewed over and over again. I never thought I would say that I like movies from Gult land but it seems like I do!

I had watched My Sassy Girl in Korean because a friend of mine told me to. I watched the movie in English which has the same title and the desi version called “Ugly aur Pagli”. The desi title in itself is a turn off and nobody who watched the movie I’m sure came out of the theater thinking… “Wow, I’d like a bit of that in my life.” The English version of it stirs no emotion and the innocence that is so potently present in the Korean version is completely absent.

Next on my list was Seducing Mr. Perfect, which is an out and out romantic movie and the kind that makes you believe that “love will come through”. It just makes you laugh and smile through out the movie.

All in all I was pleased with this bit of experimenting and I’m super thankful for subtitles too! :O

The Oceanic Velvet Cake with a Mother of Pearl Frosting©

My favourite cake is the Red Velvet cake. I like the colour, the texture, the salty-sweet-cream cheese frosting and that mild zing of flavours which alternate between cocoa, vanilla and citrusy. I am not a food blogger. I just have started blogging about food because the pandemic has invariably brought out the chef in me and I have started experimenting on a scale I would not otherwise have. I am usually satisfied with a small cake. It takes less time and less effort… that’s what I thought. Until I decided to make a layered cake. Same time and same amount of effort. After I was done, I realised that baking actually isn’t rocket science. It does take some patience, understanding of how ingredients combine and a bit of artistry to make it pretty. I compensate for my lack of artistry with imagination and creativity. I had set out to bake me a Red Velvet cake. The moment I realised that my birthday will also be during the lockdown I knew I’d have to go about fixing this wi

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short listed my “This the phone I’d like to own” list ·         Google Pixel XL (128GB) – INR 56,229 ·         One Plus 5T (128 GB) – INR 37,795 ·         Moto Z2 Play (64GB)   - INR 2

Desitude

The feeling is fleeting and yet for the mere seconds that the thought lasts you realize that you are watching the evolution of a generation that claims to be less corrupt and one that is equipped to take on the world. At the same time you notice that this so called generation has a thick pseudo american accent, ideas are plenty but do they apply to us [Indians] and whether this flash of insight was just a piece read in the news paper? Seriously after having moved to Bangalore I have started noticing things that weren’t so evident in Mysore . Things like a person’s attitude towards people – In case you are dressed up like a westerner you evidently have brains. [because you need to have brains to have a very well coordinated psychedelic wardrobe.] Any one clad in salwar kameez or anything remotely Indian is “ Oh! so still living in the dark ages!” . Anyone who speaks English is smart. Anyone who speaks Hindi is a gawar. Anyone who paints her nails black, bottle
