Kurbaan - my take

Image
Star cast: Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi and Om Puri Director: Rensil D’Silva The movie is woven around Avantika (Kareena Kapoor) and Ehsaan Khan (Saif) who fall in love and get married. They shift to New York as she has been called by her previous employer to join back. She then realizes her husband is part of a major terrorist group and is planning a plot. She has to save the lives of millions with a journalist Riyaaz ‘s (Vivek Oberoi) and what follows is the rest of the plot. The shots and the screenplay are very crisp. This movie tries very hard to be like a no nonsense Hollywood film. It’s a very straight to the face story with a few corny lines. Yet I found some interesting flaws: • When Ehsaan and Avantika decide on their first coffee date, Saif mentions the time for the meet but not the place !!!! The next shot we see is both of them seated at CCD sipping on coffee!!!!!!!! Oh yes, the brand placement is supposedly covered up very well… • I thought t

DAMN YOU!!!

I do not understand why do people criticize so much about weight. I am not talking about constructive criticism; I am talking about destructive criticism. They do not criticize about themselves but find perverse pleasure in criticizing others. Its not even gossip I am talking about but bitching. There are people in my class who go making fun of others who are “over weight” or obese or even plump. Yes I am plump. And no I do not need you to poke me around and tell me “oooo the result of not exercising or too much love for food” Or suddenly look and say “birdie you have grown big” I mean damn you. I know what I am. Have I ever looked at you and said “ dude you are so thin” or “girl I think you do not have a booty at all” no I do not… I shut up and deal with my problems. Honestly thin people stop dishing out advices. We do not need it from you. Mind your own damn business. Not that we have enough problems listening to our relatives and boy friends/girl friends and family giving advice on

Haphazard mind

Its been a long time since i wrote something. I open my notebook and think ill finally start on something... but my thoughts keep wandering...wandering... I think of the sea and am yearning to listen to the sound of the sea... the sea birds singing and the breeze rushing on my face... i want to feel all of that.. i want to feel the sand under my feet slippery and yet so nice.... again my thoughts wander.... i feel like as though m in the middle of the sea... surrounded by water and nothing but water... worse i cannot find anything or anyone around me to hold on to... i am trying to swim but i dont know to swim... i am trying to breathe but i can feel the currents pulling me... i am struggling for breath ... i am trying to think.... think calm , breathe in and out, slowly but steady... but none of these thoughts are reassuring me... i feel lost... i am loosing it now.. i know it but i am a survivor .. i dont want to give in yet...i am stubborn... i want to fight till my last breath kno

Poor man got Bobbitized!!!!!

I was reading today's TOI (Times of India) when this article on the 3rd page, caught my attention : BOBBITISED MAN SPEAKS OUT ‘I did nothing to provoke her’ Bangalore: Mir Arshad Ali, who was recently in the news for being bobbitised by his lover, narrated his side of the story to the media on Thursday. He was admitted to hospital in a critical condition on November 29, after his lover Sayeeda Amina bobbitised him at her clinic. He is now out of danger. Ali says he had done nothing to provoke the lady to take such a step. A general physician, Ali specializes in pain therapy and is practicing in Mysore. He had known Amina for eight years, before he married another woman. He said he was in love with Amina and had pleaded with her for marriage for almost a year, but she had refused. Later, Amina, who also knew Ali’s wife, convinced her that she needed Ali to come to her clinic for some medical help. Ali refused to disclose what medical help she required. On November 29, when he reache

Frozen Time

I was wondering all these days what to blog.... what to blog about??? My friends kept asking me " Birdie why is your blog stagnant?" Honestly speaking I just dint know what to blog about? There was nothing was worth while or even silly to be mentioned .... But something happened on the the 26/11 in Mumbai in my country... and I just couldn't stand it any longer.... I had to pen down my thoughts finally..... I just returned to my city and all this while kept myself glued either to the tube or to the newspapers for the current updates post this trauma.... These was a massacre .... ruthless murdering of innocent lives .... by terrorists in Mumbai.... I kept listening to the news and could imagine the torture these people had gone through in the hands of those few men..... What they must have felt? What were their thoughts when the gun men entered the building and started to terrorize them? How they must have felt to be cut off from their loved ones ? From the world for that

Rough times

I just thought of scribbling something out here. I dont know but right now everything is so messed up in my life. Nothing seems to be going right. The more I try to get things straightened it just gets worse day by day. It’s like holding sand tight in my fists only to realize it is slipping away. That’s how I feel my life is, slipping away from my hands. I don’t know what to do, whom to tell, how to tell, where to begin or where to end? Should i? Would everything just turn out to be alright? My life feels like as though the waves are lashing on the rocks and settling on the sea. Life has its own course. It takes us through difficult times and then shows us the wonderful times. After every difficult moment in life there is a happy moment. Isn’t it? But then why does it seem that in our difficult times it is very easy to loose all hope on life, on oneself, on friends and loved ones? They say difficult times are to pass and good times are there to stay forever… Why is that during our dif
