"అద్భుతం అనేది ఒక్కసారే జరగాలి మాటి మాటికి జరిహిత్ర అది అద్భుతం అనిపించుకుంటుందా?" అని అడిగిన ఆ అమాయకత్వం నా కింకా గుర్తే. తను ఒక రోజు నా తో మాట్లాడాలి నన్ను గట్టిగా హత్తుకుని ముద్దాడి ఎదో సాధించినట్టు ఎగరాలి ... ఒక రోజు కష్టపడి అలిసిపోయి నా వాడిలో సేద తీరాలి ... ఇంకొరోజు నాకే అమ్మ అయి లాలించి బుజ్జగించాలి ... ఇలా ఎన్నో కోరికలు ... అన్నిటికి నా అందాల రాకుమారి దగ్గర సమాధానం ఉండేది ... అది చాలు బాధ మరవడానికి ... ఆ నవ్వు చాలు మళ్ళీ మళ్ళీ ప్రేమ లో పడటానికి. అది తను నాకు ...            ****************** "ఈ ప్రయాణం ఇంత ఒంటరి గా చెయ్యకర్లేదు .. నేనుంటా నేస్తం లా ... ఎక్కడి దాకా?" అని ఒక అపరిచితుడు కానీ తెలిసిన వాడిలా కనిపిస్తున్న ఒక నడి వయస్సు అందగాడు చమత్కారం గా ఎక్కడో ఆలోచిస్తున్న సూర్య ప్రతాప్ ఎదురు సీట్ లో కూర్చున్నాడు. ఆ పిలుపు తో ఆలోచనల నుంచి బయటపడ్డ ప్రతాప్ ఆ మాటల కి అర్ధం ఏమిటి అన్నట్టు చూసాడు. అపరిచితుడు : "నా పేరు చెప్పినా గుర్తు పెట్టుకునే ఆలోచన కాదు నీది. కళ్ల కుళాయి ని కట్టేసి కాసేపు హృదయాన్ని మాటల తో తేలిక చెయ్యి.

Symphony of Love ... As Rangan Bharat passed by the theatre, he saw an young woman trying to pacing from right to left. He observed her and she is pacing in a pattern. As he saw her move, he thought about the rhythm, that is going on in his head from quite some time. The pattern is a perfect fit and he got his tune set in the rhythm pattern. He immediately ran to his car and rushed to his composing fheatre. Wrote down all the beats in the form of notations and as his hands started to write them, we are able to lose ourselves into the pleasing flute to roaring Veena. A master in Carnatic music, he mixed three ragas to achieve the composition. By the time, he completed writing, he is dann excited thinking about the score and his phone rang loud bringing into the world of non-sense. Yes, his life doesn't make any sense to him if it is not connected to music. He unwillingly answered the phone and it is Raksha Rangan, his wife. Raksha: "Where are you? Do you know what time...

          Journey Back to the Mother's Womb!   I can't go back to being the person I was yesterday and I dislike and disown myself, Today! What should I be then? What can I be? These questions probe through my heart day in and day out every day! How do I get rid of them? What should I do?  Radha loves me for what I am! But can she accept what I did to save my job? Yes, it is scandalous to dvelve into the details, somehow I did not feel the necessity to apologise, Am I not capable or is it my male chauvinistic ego that stops me? I am writing this dairy post to let the world know what my hard exterior completed by ego dissected and confused by societal norms really suffers within the heart of the hearts. How do I let my wife feel safe around me again? What should I say to my daughter to not feel let down by her father? Can normalcy return ever in my life?                   ************...

The year 2016 has come to an end and we are entering the new calendar year, 2017 marking that our dear rock in the universe, Earth completed its one revolution around our beloved Star Sun like its been doing for billions of years.

DANGAL - Wrestle the odds This year has been a mixed bag all together with several films being great like Pink and rest of them being disposable like Great Grand Masti. But every year you are in search of a film that makes you go gaga over the time it took for the makers to assemble it. The sheer brilliance that went into making a movie of such scale and perfection. For me each and every movie no matter what is the story needs such an effort and dedication from the makers whose ultimate goal lies in box office performance. Not judging their intentions but you do need some sort of reliability from the makers when you're investing your valuable time and money for almost 3 to 4 hours in travel and theatre for the sake of entertainment. This year I found my worth for every penny theatrical experience in DANGAL! Right from the word go, movie sucks you into its world and never lets you wander off. It never demands you to invest your intellectual energy at the same time it...

Befikre - Plastic Glory!! When you watch a movie you expect few things looking at the past and hoping for a pleasant present. While walking into an Adi Chopra film, one would expect the director of romantic movies like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Mohabbatein and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi to deliver if not a classic like DDLJ, at least a decent film with strong romance. Here the director falters big time with wafer thin plot line trying to make it edgy racy and new age.  Imtiaz Ali is a one of kind maker in India. His thoughts and scripting abilities are entirely on a different pedestal and he doesn't make a glaring mistake like casting two actors who after a point seem to repeat their actions and do nothing but look PLASTIC. In one word, you can describe Befikre as the depiction of Plastic emotions felt more plastically with an elastic screenplay that keeps on dragging for a bit and then some more, finally, delivering one big elastic fist pump that slaps you hard for walk...

Dear Zindagi - Past - Present - Future!  I always write my views as Observations as I do not really want to impose myself on viewers of a film with my ramblings. Not that I can but this is just a humble way to remind you that whatever you read here is the Blog runners opinion but not something written on wall and you should take it with a pinch of salt.  I am a fan of good cinema. For every film I enter the theatre with a belief that this film will be the greatest I am ever going to watch. Even the trailers may suggest otherwise, I do not really judge the book by its cover rather I wait to peel the content, embrace the feel a maker wants to deliver and then form my opinion about it. A story being said in silences and conversations, that is Dear Zindagi for you in a nutshell.  It is not trying to be overly smart, not trying to make you like its characters by hook or crook. It just keeps flowing on screen asking you to embrace the life unfolding in front of ...
