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

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 list...

Hey Little Girl... Part I

The little girl aped her elder brother. To her, he was the coolest dude that existed. She was the kid in school who was spoken to because she was so and so’s sister. As a kid she was extremely naïve. Her brother was the quizzer, the topper, the teacher’s pet, the social guy and everybody liked him. She on the other hand was the brat, the swimmer, a teacher’s nightmare, anti social and didn’t want to be liked by anyone. They were polar opposites of each other. Her brother - the witty charmer and She, the *shrugs shoulders* and very impolitely leaving conversation kind of person. Perhaps… the younger version of her envied the ease with which her brother was able to make friends and be at the core of everything that was happening in school. The fact that they were so different and studied in the same school eventually led to teachers constantly comparing them. It wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle. But imagine a little girl always being chastised and all sermons ending with, “why ...

The Journey

Last weekend was amazing. It began by me traveling solo from Mysore to Madras. I plonked my bags at my best friend's place. Her roomie, she and I headed to Mahabalipuram where we saw the famed sculptures carved out of single boulders. The carvings are pretty intricate and the sight is very pretty but the highlight of the visit was a monkey. While we were leaving the place we saw a troop of monkeys and one of them immediately took a fancy to my friend’s roomie. Now this girl is scared of almost every animal. It became very obvious to her that the monkey was eying the bottle in her hand. She threw it at the monkey. The monkey picked it opened the bottle and gulped the juice and looked so pleased! It was a sight. It does not seem hilarious in print but it was incredibly funny. But before going to Mahablipuram we stopped at the Crocodile Park where I learnt to hold a baby crocodile and also a python. I actually felt the crocodile gulp when I was holding it. The place ...
