She: What are you upto?
He: eh?
She: Are you busy?
He: well...
She: If it's taking you that long to answer you must not be.
He: lll....
She: Can we talk?
He: err...
She: Or you don't have time for me?
He: It's...
She: what?
He: Nothing.
She: You have time for me or no?
He: well...
She: Quit talking in monosyllables.
He: ok.
She: Stop it.
He: What?
She: Talking in monosyllables.
He:
She: Say something.
He:
She: Why are you not saying anything?
He:
She: Bah. You are so difficult.
He: oh come on now! You asked me not to speak
She: In monosyllables I said.
He: Well that's what I could get in when I talk to you.
She:(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh)
He:(uh-oh)
She:(aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhh)
He: (uh-oh-oh)
She: I expect an apology from you right now.
He: Sorry.
She: There you go.
He: What?
She: Back to your monsyllables again.
He: Uff!
She: harumph! I am not talking with you ever again.
He: (woohoo)
She: And I mean ever, ever, ever again.
He: Now come on...
She: And never going to ever bother you again..or ask you anything..or tell you anything...or discuss anything with you...
He: (hoo boy!)
She: Why do I bother to even make a conversation with you is beyond me.
He: me too..
She: WHAT?
He: Nothing!
She: Yeah that's how much I mean to you.
He: I never said that!
She: Well you say a lot without saying anything.
He: I do?
She: Of course you do. Your monosyllables convey more meaning than my tirades.
He: Then why do you complain about them?
She: Uff
He: Hee hee
She: This is the last time I have tried to make a conversation with you. Expect never to hear me address you ever again.
He: (hoo boy!)
She: Make merry now I am going to leave you alone for ever.
He: Come on now...
She: Bye....this is what I get after years of marriage and devotion..not even a few minutes to give attention to what I am saying. I will never ever speak to him ever again. NEVER!

Guzaarish...A review.
Wanted to watch this movie since I heard about it. Hrithik Roshan being in the movie had everything to do with it. Aishwarya Rai being in the movie had nothing to do with it. However once I watched her doing the Udi Udi number on TV, it added more to the list of - Reasons to watch Guzarish list. Such a polished dance. I thought Aish looked stunning and sexy for the first time in her career. Even though not a big fan of Aish's acting, I have always thought her to be a very, very graceful dancer - the saving grace of the erstwhile Taal. Right next came up 'Sheila ki Jawaani'. Added one more to the looooooooong list of - Reasons NEVER to watch Tees Maar Khan ever,ever,ever!.
So I got to watch Guzaarish late last night. The film came to the point right away. I liked that very much. No dilly dallying and spending about 2 hours coming to the point of how our hero got into such a state. There alone saved my 2 hours. I am sure by this time everyone knows all the ins and outs of the movie, so will save your 20 minutes not mulling over the story. Hrithik Roshan was Hrithik Roshan - magnificent as usual. I wish they had toned down the magic tricks though - The only hard to digest parts of the film. But given Mr.Bhansali's penchant for over the top effects in his film - I guess it was expected since he could not do so much of the grandeur elsewhere.
I admire Hrithik for taking on this role. Maybe one does not refuse Mr.Bhansali but still to take on the role of a paraplegic knowing very well that most of the people love to watch him dance and fight it out is indeed commendable. Hrithik does justice to every role of his and same here. He is awesome. Tries to look unkempt - ends up looking even more ravishing (check to see if I am drooling) and in the end meets death laughing! Awesome, awesome performance. He made the movie watchable, the character lovable. Apart from Hrithik and Aish (I am coming to her) and this new kid on the block Omar Siddiqui he is called in the movie - nothing much to write about. Over the top melodrama and situations not to mention acting.
This is the first movie where I felt Aish was entirely watchable without wincing over her acting. True her mannerisms show up here and there but the character itself can be deemed to have them, so she passes there. She gives a spirited performance topped off by the cherry in the form of Udi-Udi. Uff she looks and moves like a dream. Sporting a deep neck that provides tantalizing glimpses she dances in style and aplomb looking much sexier than all those gyrating item number girls put together. (pointed looks at you know who!)
All in all a welcome diversion from Bollywood drivel being churned out these days - one in which it is 'coool' to address your mom by her first name; another one(ten) in which you are subjected to third degree torture in the name of Comedy; another few which star Akshay Kumar (shudder, shudder) and so many more. Guzaarish is different. Reason enough to Watch it!

I want to start writing...again!
I used to write. Write well I was told by a lot of people. I had my own share of readers who once used to look forward to my blogs. I was a prolific blogger once. Writing at least one creative piece a week. I used to dabble is some poetry and also do movie/music/ghazal reviews. I used to enjoy it so much. Then I met life head on. It engulfed me and I let it. I went along with the flow. Got involved with it until it devoured me completely. I am still engulfed, but I am trying to extricate myself out of it to an extent that I have time to breathe. Time to watch a glorious sunrise. Time to take a book to a Forest Preserve and just sit there, attempting to read the book but looking into oblivion most of the time, taking in the peace of it all, the stillness of it into my soul. Real early morning perhaps. One day, I promise to myself - yet another time!
I promise to write. So this effort. Small snippets maybe, not elaborate presentations (but maybe those too sometimes). So starting over - always a good place to start!
Good luck me!
