Ha…it’s been a long time…the month of Feb just ebbed away with its leniency towards the leap year. Things are the same…fast paced and days of full immersion in the thing they call Life. I am completely drenched and from my mouth drip the essence of life. A drooling mouth with a hidden voracious appetite.
Oscars happened – my fav Ratatouille won the best picture award in the animation category. I fell in love with Marion Cotillard, the beautiful French dame who won the best actress Oscar and I started hating Elton John for making a remark in Larry King Live about the absence of good nominations in that category. I became more introspective after watching the new HBO series titled In Treatment. Dr Paul is just wonderful and Laura is lavishing (played by Melissa George). The show even inspired me to do a language exercise based on Conversation.
Valentine’s Day came to earth once again – Thank God…nothing much happened. But I watched a good movie that night which celebrated the beauty of friendship. I had read the book a few years back. The director of Finding Never land waves his filmy magic wand once again and there you have - The Kite Runner. A movie based on the best seller by the same name. It is haunting and true to the printed text. I think after Steven Spielberg, the only director who has got the knack of handling child artist is Marc Forster. I felt happy that day/night when I realized that I am in love with something deep inside me. It was also the day when The Hindu carried a thought provoking toon in its editorial page titled – Violentine’s Day – referring to the violence that rocked Mumbai based on the Marathi and North India dichotomy.
Many Promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep...
