THE WEEKEND THAT WAS
Its 3:30 in the afternoon and iam at work on a weekend! That's a reverberation of being a businessman's wife.My head is at the verge of exploding for which i blame the ambrosial pomegranate shots that cute Jamie boy served me last nite.We went to Punjab(indian restaurant)to get some drinks before going out to watch DELHI 6.The movie is basically targetting NRIs who come back to their roots and then shit happens n ultimately things get alright.The typical hindi masala movie.The funniest part was the usage of Monkey Man incident that happened in Delhi few years back.The only remarkable thing in the movie is how the standpat yet colourful old delhi has been captured and splashed over the 70 mm screen.I being a resident of America now, felt desirous of going back to my hometown to experience the warmth of Delhi.Boston is cold and dry in every sense.The weather,the people,the food ,Everything is so underspiced(that's what i call it, there is no such word in the dictionary) unlike India where people, food and weather are extremely Hot! i mean literally!Till now iam enjoying exploring the contrasting cultures of both countries but i wonder ultimately where i want to settle down, amongst my own phratry or choose to live as an expatriate?
The weekend is over and iam again back to the backroom.Trying to complete my new post. So thought of appreciating how Slumdog Millionaire won 8 oscars out of total 10 nominations, of which one it lost to its own other nomination in the 'Best original score' category. So practically SM only lost one award.It was a proud moment but it would have been more gallant if this movie was made by an Indian director and then got acclaim to such an extent.Commendable was A.R Rahman's performance and the two lines that truly stole the show "all my life i had an option to choose between Love and Hate, i chose Love and iam here."After this i have a lot of
respect for this humble and quiet man who speaks a thousand words through his supercharged music.A lot of people might say that we don't need Oscars to recognize our work but i feel Oscars is a platform where intelligent cinema is appreciated and honoured.Though i have a little doubt about the authenticity of the judging panel which contradicts my statement but its just an opinion from a person who likes to watch good cinema, language no bar!
