The Pensive

Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj Writing credits Vishal Bhardwaj dialogue Vishal Bhardwaj screenplay Abhishek Chaubey screenplay Sabrina Dhawan script consultant (From IMDB) Stars:   Pankaj Kapur ,  Imran Khan  and  Anushka Sharma  , Shabana Azmi, Arya Babbar Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola - As and when I heard this name it felt like some Nelson Mandela's Indianised autobiography or some thing. To add to my belief there were few South African dancers as well. I thought its a movie which will show whites Vs blacks issue or some thing close to that :P. Demolishing all my guess works the movie surprised me with fresh entertainment. My love towards bollywood only increases due to these new refreshing ideas and the new style in which they are executed. However this movie has its flaws! Trailers failed to draw me towards theater which showed a piyakkad Pankaj Kapur and Anushka who is coming out of the pond comfortably as if she is a me...

As and when I saw "this"  I wanted to attend at any cost. I have never been to an Indiblogger meet. Missed it twice in Gurgaon as I was out of the city and meets never happened in Hyderabad. We shifted to bangalore a fort night back and all I could think was of attending Indiblogger meet. We moved to the new apartment in whitefields on 20th morning and Indiblogger meet was on 20th noon 1 : 30 .I started at 12 and it took me a rough 2 hrs to reach the venue. I and my husband were feeling lethargic due to continuous work from 2 days and climbing the stairs to our flat which is in the fourth floor. Lift is not ready yet and my knee joints were actually painful due to climbing up , down , doing chores etc. So leaving the unpacked stuff in my apartment I started to Fortune hotel at Ananda Rao Circle. As soon as I entered I felt like I am a terrestrial animal in the sea of all fishes and whales and may be big sharks who knew each other and who were familiar with such me...

I wish she had opted for her hair removal. Instead she worried about the never ending hair fall. Hair on face or legs and hands doesn't make her look royal! I wanted to give an advice to her like a pal. She entered the room wearing a beautiful smile. Her dream man had put forward his hand to shake. The smile faded and he actually had to fake. For when he hugged her It was like getting brushed by a kiwi pile! She was confused thinking of the ways to attract him. She checked her reflection as she believed she was slim. I stood near to her pointing her satin gown. She checked if her gown had any dirt marks with a frown! I couldn't resist any longer and told her what I wanted to. She understood the problem but was not sure what to do. Willing to help her out I gifted her a "Gillete satin care ". She felt smooth and her new avatar was not of a hare or a bear. Her arms and legs were long, clean and silky at which forever you can stare! This ti...

We all now know what 16/12 is known for - A gang rape. It feels utterly disgusting to say that a date is marked in the calendar like any other date with historical importance say 26/01 or 15/08 . Am not sure if I will ever feel the spirit of freedom or independence but I will for ever feel the pangs of threat , misery , fear and a continuous shadow of judgement will be cast on me. After the crime happened there was no stopping to other crimes.  Sad but the crime seems to have provided motivation and inspiration to many criminals around!In Punjab another similar gang rape happened and my head keeps buzzing with same news every day. Media has its full attention as people are tuned to news channels every day. I stopped watching TV after the protests and the death of  the constable as I couldn't bear the directionless bombardment of the news. Some named her Damini and some Nirbhaya and some dying to be under spot light shared her fake photos , her dads photos and what...

Love comes in all forms , shapes and sizes but the love showered by a person when you cant even spell "LOVE" or feel it cannot be compared with any form of love in the world. A mother gives birth to a kid and some invisible strings draw the baby towards her and it finds instant comfort and relief in her lap. A baby cries as and when it steps outside the mothers womb but identifies her and finds solace. She meets all odds to give the best to him. She works like a robot which is given 100 commands in stretch but still has energy and time to allot for each and every person near and dear to her. She sacrifices her needs, desires just to satisfy the same near and dear's wishes. In the "To-do" memos she jots down the list of things are like below. 1.) What does the kid want that month? 2.)Her man's shirt is pressed or not. 3.)To offer prayers for her family's well being. She keeps cross checking the list  to track  if she did what all she wants to...

From a week I am answering the same question again and again- How is the big move coming along ? We are finally shifting from Gurgaon to Bangalore ! Due to few reasons am super glad and pretty excited thinking about the new home , new place , new stuff . New things always make us happy .  A New year,   new movie , new dress ,new book  ,  new look.  Don't they   bring a smile on your face? The new happenings also make me tad sad as I am little phobic when a new change occurs in my life but then I pat my self thinking if I could have come out of this old thing which was new in the beginning I can face the next new phase too ! With the chain of events in Delhi, the gang rape , protests and death I was very disturbed. I spent many sleepless nights and still in the mid of the night I wake up even by the slightest sound. I became a full-on light sleeper. Just a week back some body was drunk and was shouting or retching on the road. I was scared beyond...
