I see it this way

The Delhi Metro is not all about ha-ha episodes. Lesson learnt today: Most men, irrespective of caste, creed, race, colour or for that matter age, stare. And shamelessly at that.

Returning back to the good things in life.

I quite like The Little Magazine. Their content is different, they promote a lot of new and promising South-Asian writing, and they seem genuinely passionate about writing per se. This was once on their introductory page.."A blank page for us is a carte blanche to rip...". With this kind of a cummulative mindset working for the publication, every copy of the magazine, in my opinion, carries selected but tasteful stuff.

Decided to make a must-see movie list. To begin with...

Dreamgirls
Hannibal Rising
The Messengers
Pan's Labyrinth
The Graduate
Roman Holiday
The White Countess
The Seven Year Itch
Breakfast at Tiffany's
A Holiday Romance
La Vie est Belle...................................and i doze off

I knew that God is in the details. But, I realised that the Devil is in the finer ones. And people, especially those that you call friends, notice the details of the second kind. My profile these days in gtalk gives a statutory warning: Disturb at your own risk (followed with the status icon for busy). A friend decided to reason it out.

Friend: If you are busy and cannot talk, then why are you online. If you are online and can talk, then why are you threatening people with dire consequences.

Me: Elementary, my dear Watson. My boss is calling, shall talk to you later?



I see the world through these...






Thought for the day: Beauty is in the eye of the Beer holder

Nice thought your friend had about the GTALK status...
even i asked a friend that why is your status busy... if you are busy why dont you just log off

"I am busy chatting with another friend and dont want to be disturbed" was the reply i got

and about the movie list,

personally i think that Pan's Labyrinth and The Seven Year Itch... are far above than the rest of the movies mentioned, especially The Seven Year Itch.. not only because of Marilynn Monroe but because of the A+ grade way the film is , and if I had such a list THE SIXTH SENSE and THE PHONEBOOTH would definetly a part of the list

I wonder how come sassy took such a long time to understand this basic concept about men. ANd dont forget, that for few, this is the only good thing. :P
I love Little Magazine. Their content is different because it is good as compared to other magazines. and it is not cummulative but 'cumulative'.
Now about the movie list, whats the point sassy. u being the lazy bum will only add more names. my advice - cut short the list and then add names like la dolce vita, westside story.. oh what the heck, first see these.
@ the photo - must admit nice work with the frame, as in the whole of it. well God cant exist without the Devil, can it?

@ Moonstruck Maniac
They just stare and stare, man!
The Little Magazine, is a good endeavour. Loved their edition of the selected short stories.
The lazy bum allegation shall be appropiately dealt with in the near future.
About the pic: Thanks! Will sometime post the pic where it all started from.
Lastly, God without the fear of Devil is no fun. Kind of forces you to test the limit, doesn't it?

@Gyaan Guru

The list is just a beginning that should make my work 'half done'. Unfortunately, it does not. Shall make it a point to see the movies that you recommend. Should hopefully be able to finish watching The Seven Year Itch this weekend.
