Haider - Beautifully Made

Did anyone else understand the Biggest Metaphor of the Movie? TABU - The beautiful and Deadly KASHMIR which is burning itself and is confused who to side on with as it loves everyone equally. HILAAL Meer - The country which neglected and devalued her and now considers her treacherous and responsible for all wrong befalling it. Legally deserving her but morally not. KHURRAM - the opportunist which gained control over her and value her more than life but has sacrificed ethics in order to achieve her. Maybe Legally Deserving her but morally not. HAIDER - Her son who wants her badly enough to destroy everything around him as well as inside him. His Lust knows no bounds. Not deserving her Legally or Morally. Kudos Vishaal Bhardwaj - Your art is Exquisite!

Email to Prove Rom-Com are Different!

When I was a teenager, I read a book by Sidney sheldon and told my cousin brother- “Sidney sheldon is an awful writer” My brother didn’t argue with me he said- Which book did you read? when I told him the name, –Bloodline he said its one of the worst and told me to read “Master of the game” 20 years later, Sidney Sheldon is my favorite author and I am grateful to my bro for letting me know my choice of book was not correct to judge the writer. I would have missed reading the some of the best thriller+mystery novels  had I not pushed my horizons.   So I asked all my friends on FB and here is the list of all the best Rom-Coms of all time  and 3 imp points- 1)Most are hits and  allare classics- widely liked by public 2) I didn’t include any Meg ryan’s movies though hers are the best (You’ve got mail, When Harry Met Sally) 3) None of these have the cliched ending (In some the hero heroine do Not end up together) 4) Main in Manhattan ...

A Marriage Ahead of its Times

My little sister is getting married. Yayyyyyyyy. A joyous occassion for me .. but not for all. I keep remembering what my mom told me about her wedding- how people hated them; didn't want to meet her for years when she  being a Shia married a Sunni. But by the time we were in our tweens; almost both sides of the family had accepted my parent's marriage. Recently when my Shia  maternal cousin brother married  my Sunni paternal cousin sister- there was hardy any displeasure and it all went as though anything was hardly out of place. So now I feel my parents were ahead of the time- hence same for my sister.
