You were the world

How can someone be alive one second, and not be the next. Millions of years- man got to space, got to the deepest and darkest parts of the ocean, figured out what goes on in the core of the earth, but could not come close to figuring out Mother nature. This is what probably many out there who loved Michael Jackson felt, when they heard about his untimely death. How can one possibly let go of the thought of a person being alive? Especially if you lived with and/ or, loved the person.
Someone came up with the line "time heals all wounds" because you have to say something to the grieving one. This is the one wound that the so powerful time cannot heal. Even if it's healed, the scar still remains, for life. You live and move on because life pretty much doesn't give you a choice, does it? You house this body with an empty soul, which doesn't wander anymore because it doesn't know where to go.
No matter how Michael Jackson's life was, it is obvious that he was very talented. He is one figure that probably every Tom, Dick and Harry knows, literally speaking. He created history, and will no doubt live on for eternity. May his soul rest in peace, and may his family find strength through this.

A taste of history

I got back a few days ago, from the land where the mighty Roman Emperors walked, and it's hard to let go of the enigmatic experience that I went through in this amazing place. Be it the age old piazzas bustling with people, or the not so crowded streets of the make believe city of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, this country is one to die for. Few places ooze this unique feel, in each city which has a distinction of it's own. In Rome, you go back in time a few thousand years to feel the majesty of the buildings. Venice- you can't miss the magic that runs through your soul, as you step into the city that stands on water. The Square of Miracles in Pisa, home to the leaning tower takes you to another place altogether, which is beyond definition. Florence gives you a taste of frescoes and sculptures that bridged ancient and modern art. The little medieval Manhattan- San Gimignano sits in the midst of lovely sunflower fields and vineyards, gives you a glimpse of alabaster lamps and ceramic pottery.
Like life and love, all good things do come to an end. So did the trip. I made sure I dropped a coin in Fontana de Trevi to assure my return to the eternal city of Rome, and the magical Venice when the air is cold, and the streets are deserted.

You let go of the past.... is the past ready to let go of you?

The past is gone, tomorrow is unknown, today is what we have in our hands, that's what the wise tell us. Yes, you are ready to let go, but is your past ready to let go of you? Doesn't it keep bumping into you like an unwanted visitor, in the form of a friend, a neighbor, or even a loved one?

Your past is like the unwanted trailer that keeps playing on your tv, and it's too late before you can flip the channel. It has already done it's part, the memories have come back, the damage is done. How can you hide before you are even given a chance to run? And as time goes by, it's not so much the past that hurts, it's the way it disguises itself, to run into your present.

So how do you deal with it? Fight it, ignore it, run away from it? There's no one right way to deal with, is it?

Delhi-6 ya Kaala Bandar

What can you do if the pieces of a puzzle are put together, but the scene itself doesn't fit in. That's how it is with Delhi-6. The director tried to put the pieces together, but the story doesn't fit in. 2 good things about the movie- songs, and star cast. My fav. being dil gira kahin dafatan, shot very uniquely in it's setting. A lot of us here in the US could relate to what could have been going in the character's head.
The cast being great, it failed to register to me as to what Sonam Kapoor's purpose was in the film. Her talent went waste in this movie full of haphazard scenes that seemed to have been desperately tried to fit in to form one whole movie. The movie seemed to revolve around this mysterious character called Kaala Bandar which became the gist of the movie.
Abhishek did not seem to fit in as the ABCD, the puppy faced Ranbir Kapoor could have probably done more justice to the role.
Over all, a movie not worth the 10bucks, except for the songs.
