Keh ke lunga....



"I live life vicariously through violent movies" - Ashwini Shenoy

---------* SPOILER ALERT*-------- ANY ONE WHO HASN'T SEEN PART 2 OF GANGS OF WASSEYPUR AND INTENDS TO WATCH IT READ NO FURTHER.

I honestly wish the last 5 mins of movie were edited and removed for good. Otherwise Gangs of Wasseypur has been my movie of the year 2012. There are a lot of things that I particularly enjoyed about the movie apart from the violence and cussing. The sound track is very interesting and the title of this post is my favourite track from the movie. Nothing says it better than Keh ke lunga. In my mind I have killed a lot of people, done a lot of violent things but society prevents me from doing anything beyond the confines of the privacy i enjoy in the depths of a very imaginative mind which helps me through situations that would have gotten the better of me.  So watching Gangs of Wasseypur and the violence that it portrayed and the language that was used didn't just entertain me but also made me realise that this is one movie I'll make every friend of mine watch not because of the violence and expletives but instead for the way that every incident has been interpreted and every action that triggers a  new enmity and sometimes new friendships but at the same time it is like watching the nicely laid out domino's topple to become a pile of disks lying flat on the floor. The movie is exactly like a pile of domino's except that in the movie the domino's are replaced by men. These men are all placed around neatly and as the movie progresses you get to watch them topple magnificently.

My favourite scene though comes in part 2 when Faisal Khan corners Ramadhir Singh in a hospital bathroom. Both men are armed but Ramadhir doesn't have the balls to shoot at Faisal. The look on his face is incredible. The body language excellent. You get to watch the man crumble unable to raise the gun at Faisal and just give up as he drops the gun and surrenders to his fate. Watching the triumph and relief on Faisal Khan as he ploughs through Ramadhir's body with bullets took me back to school when I'd come home and switch on the computer to play Doom by selecting the toughest level and naming the player after the person who pissed me off most for the day and place them in the center of the arena just to watch them being shot and see their bodies rip and blood splatter all over the monitor. So watching the scene had me grinning because I had done that only in the virtual world and that was extremely effective ;) 

And while the scene is played out Keh ke lunga is played in the background.

P.S: If you haven't watched the movie watch it. Not because you'll learn a lesson but only because the story gives you exactly what it introduces you to in Part1 when the narrator introduces you to the two species  - Bewakoof and Harami.

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 ...
