SECTION 2: PARADOXES (Coming soon)
no its not any shakepearan stuff out here or as u say sme nuclear physics. have u ever been surrounded by questions you hardly find a answer to or rather i might say ” do they really have an answer to?”. I have so many questions and not enough answers, and the problem is all my questions are the big ones, the ones there are no answers too. you might be thinking that m insane and there r no such questions . but the fact is questions are there, its our perspective whether we have that soul to wonder about such unsolved mysteries of life. mine are not that complicated but rather complexed and a lil perplexed.:)
Are we alone in the universe?
Is there life after death?
Who am and what am i?
Am i the centre of the universe?
yes i know these are abstract and doesnt bear any meaning in light of rationality. but the last one is even more a twisted tale of my existance.
you might think its egotistical, but break it down. I know I am real, I think and feel and see and hear and touch and taste, I experience it all, I know that, it is 100% true, its fact, its real, its undeniable.
but what about you? I don’t know you are real? I don’t know if you think or feel, see or hear, touch or taste. I can only take your word for it that you are.
what if YOU are the centre of the universe and I’m just a part of your life. thats it .think about it.
Freinds after years of movie watching . what do u expect out of me???.. appreciation. Here comes the much awaited list for all of you. but there might be other movies apart from this list which could have been featured here. it all depends on the taste. to start with i would like to list down the top 5 love flicks according to me and my judgemental skills released after the year 1980.
The list is based on the following parameters: huh……no parameters just love these..and that’s the reason they r here>>>>>
1. P.S I Love you:
People change in time, relationships change in time; Love doesn’t. A man expresses his feelings of his love to his wife, through several shocking surprises after his death. This movie would tell why love is the only power that connects people, if no one could tell anymore what it really means. Hey wait.. enuf of descriptions……just watch it urself and I am sure u would agree with the reason I have put it on the top of the list.
2. When Harry met Sally:
“men and women can’t be freinds” yes! thats what the theme of the movie is. offcourse with some amendments at the end. Rich in both comedy and drama it explores the long building friendship between a man and a woman over the course of many years and many loves. When Harry Met Sally will have you believing in fate and taking a second look at those who enrich your life. The most famous line of dialogue, “Men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way,” became a frequent topic of talk show discussions, magazine articles, and dinner table conversations and even some of our canteen discussions . After raising the issue, the film spends the rest of its running length challenging it, and it’s up to the viewer to decide whether the premise is proven or disproven by events. After all, although Harry and Sally become fast friends, their relationship does not remain platonic.
3. The notebook:
The Notebook was a great romantic tale about 2 young lovers who come across each other at a small-town carnival one night. The girl’s parents disapprove, and it becomes a struggle right away for the relationship to get off the ground. When war hits the country, Noah is called off to war, and Allie is left wondering if she will ever see him again. Not hearing from him, she decides to get married to another man, and the story really begins there. the dialogue the made the movie really special was: “I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived: I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.”
4. Pretty woman:
What can I say that hasn’t been said? This immensely popular, modern fairy tale romance is a fantastic ‘feel good’ must see. I can’t resist watching it every single time it comes on TV. To tempt you if you haven’t seen it…it’s the story of a feisty, good hearted hooker named Vivian Ward, who is hired for a week by a wealthy businessman, Edward Lewis, to serve as his escort at a number of business related social functions. Needless to say, the relationship doesn’t stay ‘just business’ for long.
5. Serendipity:
I will just write a few lines and m sure you couldn’t wait to see this one.
Magic happens, if you let it; and sometimes even fate or destiny– or whatever you want to call it– steps in to lend a hand. But when it concerns love, and finding that special person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with, should you risk tempting fate with a test of that love or what is seemingly meant to be, or should you just follow your apparent destiny and embrace it? Such are the questions two people must face and answer. And this movie surely deals the topic quite well.
If u like this piece do comment and lemme know. And watch out the list the for thrillers and action will be up there soon.
since ages men have been hearing the rules made by women..guys what r u waiting for..remember it were noble men who penned the the functioning of the entire universe and u find this rocket science. fyn here it is…
this is for all those who have been making rules and the some poor souls are abiding by it…
Please note … these are all numbered “1″ ON PURPOSE!
1. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!
1. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
1. Don’t cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you’re stuck with her.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. We don’t remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.
1. Most guys own three pairs of shoes – tops. What makes you think we’d be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1. Check your oil! Please.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 24 hours.
1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us. We refuse to answer.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. Let us look. We are going to look anyway; it’s genetic.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.
1. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it and quit whining to your girlfriends.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, mind your dressing, i surely would not take you out otherwise. Really.
1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as, the offside rule, investments, sports or cars.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it’s Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn’t really matter what the hell they’re saying anyway.)
1. It is neither in your best interest or ours to take the quiz together. No, it doesn’t matter which quiz.
1. BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
1. I’m in shape. ROUND is a shape.
Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know we really don’t mind that, it’s like camping.
It’s now been a week since IPL. For those of you who completely missed out on it (do email me on how that was possible), it stands for Indian Premier League. Or rather India’s Powerful Lobby. After all, BCCI did manage to get all cricket playing countries to participate – Cricket Australia gave in eventually, the British Cricket Board too is succumbing to it!!
Everything that had to be said about it has been said. But not by everyone. I had refined from commenting on it during the tournament – partly because I was too engrossed watching it – so I shall state it now.
It is said that societal behavioral habits take years to change. I defer on that statement. These are the societal changes I have observed take place in our country in flat 45 days!!
TV Remote is with the man again. Yes,it’s true in case of Bengali men too!! In fact they might hold on to it longer considering that Euro has started off.
‘Short’ and ‘Instant Delivery’ are buzz words. Most of the good things in today’s life are short and instant; SMS, Relationships, Sachin Tendulkar…… As a matter of fact, Twenty 20 was very much like the cheerleader’s skirt – short and instant enough to grab everyone by their eyeballs. This format is perfect representation of our changing patience levels. Instant gratification!!
Cheerleaders will be used more often. With every saas-bahu serial completing it’s 100th episode, or political party completing its 5 years, or MET department being successful in predicting India’s monsoon, we will see them do the jig. As a nation, we now want to celebrate our victories.
We, like British, love our royalty. Why else would 4 out of 8 teams have some mention about it. (Rajasthan Royals, Super Kings Chennai, Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers). Out of the remaining four, Mumbai Indians is the only name that appears creatively challenged. After a complete cycle, we have started taking pride in our royalty again. One more thing. Money can’t buy everything (read creativity) but then that’s more for Mukesh Ambani.
The reason for success of IPL lies elsewhere. Inherently, we always wanted to ‘openly’ cheer performing sports person from competing teams but swallowed it to nurse our national, patriotic pride. It’s not that we are any less democratic as a country, but it’s our own jingoist fervour that stopped us from doing so.
As IPL was not about any nationality, it liberated us from that moral restriction. It was acceptable to cheer Shaun Marsh or Shane Watson beat the s&%t out of Indian bowlers. Admit it you had always wanted to openly cheer Shoaib Akhtar bowl out the batting line up. It is only post IPL that we have really started enjoying cricket more as a sport!!!
And It’s my opinion that IPL now socially stands for India Patriotically Liberated
