after a ling time felt like writing something for the movie I saw and I felt that the start was a lot better than then ending. It was still a kids movie, but it touches the soft corner of your heart and the brief married life of ellie and Carl. The music that plays in the background does makes you engrossed in that little world of Ellie and Carl.
One takeaway for this movie was the little "Adventure book". And one can pretty much relate to a lot of things in life which is nothing else but the so called "Adventure book".Plan for it and then there is something else coming up.Delay it and will plan later.
Well there was this piece of article about the movie which I found over the net and thought of putting the same over here. Makes one feel indeed sad after reading it.

Saw long time back and Remembered now
I saw the movie, "The Pursuit of Happyness" long time back.(rather this movie debuted on my iPod and I found a better way of commuting to office)
I never paid attention to something very significant. Why was "Happyness" misspelt? offcourse it was intentional.
Wikipedia has a long story to say on the same about Thomas Jefferson and United States declaration of independence.
Well I found something while surfing that appealed to me a lot.
"There is no Y(why) in Happyness, only I".
Interesting musing.

waah ustaad waah
After watching the movie "Mumbai meri Jaan", I was awestruck on the simplicity of the movie and the intricacies of human thought it portrayed.
Hats off to Nishikant Kamat on coming with such a beautiful spectacle on the celluloid that is simply a treat to watch.
I liked the end of the movie a lot.Not like every other feature where everything is good, hunky-dory in the end and you go home smiling with tears of joy. Well some would certainly say that this is the purpose of the movie. For me movie is not a way to relax. Its a medium, and a very potent medium to make people think. And for my case I prefer the kind of movies that will make me think and could relate it to the real life.
The movie ended on a vey simple note,with a song from the old Hindi movie CID
"Aie Dil hai mushkil jeena yahan,
Jara hat ke, Jara bach ke,
Ye hai Bombay meri Jaan"
With the song in the background and real life pictures of the serial blasts in Mumbai local trains.
The various stories interwined in the feature
1) An IT professional whose sense of paranoia makes him look out for a life better worth living.
2) A news reporter, reminiscent of the current masala news channel, and the way she copes after becoming a victim.
3) A small time Tea vendor who is caught up in a dream world until he is ostracized by the socially affluent class
4) A Police inspector who is seeing his life and his dreams crumbling in front of him but is helpless and cannot do anything
5) An unemployed youth who takes up the cudgel of doing ethnic cleansing on himself.
And a common police inspector on the verge of retirement, who still finds hope amidst this chaos.
I dont think that any ways this movie salutes the so called undying spirit of Mumbai. And I dont even subscribe to this thought. I would define this as insensitiveness or "who even cares" attitude. The bottomline is, I dont care what happens to this world, I have a stomach to feed and I will have to run for my work. Come what may.That is the harsh reality and we dont want to come out of this vicious circle.
