“I can never calm them down. Other
than me no one can hear them but they are actually nerve racking sometimes.
They are soothing, disturbing and many a times they are just an incoherent
buzz. From dawn to dusk they talk to me punctuated by the hum of the washing
machine, beeps of oven , whistles of cooker, distant loud chatter and laughs
and so on so forth. They guide me, misguide me, tickle me, bring a
frown on my face but never leave my head. When I sleep I may be in smiles but my voices always travel miles”.
The Day 5 prompt for "May Photo A Day Challenge : A challenge that will change your life"is 5. Paper: Is it a bill? Newspaper? A letter or a heartfelt card you received? Find paper around you. Where ever I see I am finding papers after seeing this prompt :-/. In the trash , in the cup board , at the door step (news paper) , current bill , telephone bill , Aadhaar card , pass port , the most important paper- the currency note and what not. It felt like I am sitting in the stack of papers but the one paper/ poster which caught my attention is below. The below paper poster adorns my tv room . I bought it at Connaught place- Delhi from a road side vendor. I love the guy in the poster. Any guesses who it is? I love what ever is written on it. It shows attitude in full bloom which is much needed many a times. I may not be always right but I am never wrong. My wrong has little right left in it even after uttering or doing it. That's how I feel some times. After all wrong is the foundation for right. Wrong gives birth to right the next time you are saying or doing it. O.K. I don't want to make this a lengthy post so here you go with the pic of the day below!
Dont we all think so ?! ;)
So recognized who it is ? I always think that if at all I adopt a pet it should be like Garfield. We have a ferocious cat at my in laws place which is full of attitude. It has its own den and is extremely lazy.It thinks of itself as a tiger which makes it more adorable. I love Jim Davis and I have Garfield books too :)
I am so glad I made this pic my today's post. If interested in Garfield comics go to this site - http://www.garfield.com/ to know more. Here is a comic for you all.
One more paper pic which I feel like uploading is Malaysian currency note - Ringgit. I hastily clicked it before spending and before getting currency exchanged in Singapore. The below one is a 10 ringgit note. Bank Negara means National Bank and they have the King's pic on the note :) 1 Ringgit = 18 rupees (Indian currency) approximately! Have a good day all of you.
A morning is incomplete to me with out a hot steaming cup of tea and biscuits . I have sore throat now and nothing else feels better than the "Ginger tea". My pic for today's prompt - In my cup is below.
I am a born tea lover. I was actually waiting for many years to be qualified to drink tea . At some point my parents felt I was qualified enough and tea became a part of my life since then. My day is dull with out a tea and I am a chai specialist. I make all kinds of tea and I got a bunch of compliments for making "the best" tea.
Tea time is the best me time to me as so many thoughts simmer in my head while sipping !!
The Day 3 prompt for "May Photo A Day Challenge : A challenge that will change your life"is 3. This is really good!: Find something good in your life and take a photo. There are many things which make me feel good ;) but after thinking for long I was able to short list 3 things which make me feel good and happy :) Rain for sure makes all of us feel good. The sudden drizzles in the scorching summer heat make me feel goooood ! Even now its cloudy in Bangalore.
Taken few days back. Rain from my kitchen window.
Find the click at instagram--- "Rain drops"
Early mornings make me feel equally good. The silence when the whole world is refusing to wake up as the sun just starts rising makes me feel its my moment !!
Clicked from the same kitchen window
early in the morning. At instagram - "Early morning"
Last but not the least as I am new to cooking if some thing I make tastes yummy it is a big achievement to me and makes me feel tooo good . Food is one thing which makes all of us feel good :) Below is a pic of spicy chicken and Andhra style rasam made by me on a weekend!
Chicken and Rasam. Find at Instagram - "Cullinary"
The
cast and crew ofEk thi Daayan tempted
me to go watch it asap.Emran Hashmi who
proved in recent past that he is not just the kissing king , Konkana sen who
came back after a long hiatus , Huma Qureshi the Gangs of Wasseypur fame and
needless to say a good actress like Kalki Koechlinpulled me towards the theatre.Ek thi Daayan in English means there was once a witch. The terms like
Witch or Dracula fill a sense of fear in heart. Konkana Sen as the Daayan or
Diana made me jump off my seat a couple of times in the first half. I closed my
eyes while watching Konkana’s eerie entry where she is not shown vividly like
in any other horror movie! The story starts with our great magician Bobo (Emran
hashmi) performing harmful magical tricks in Kingdom of dreams. Everyone looked
promising and apt for their roles. Tamara played by Huma is a perfect partner
to Bobo who tries to end his fear and hallucinations but they never stop.
Bobo’s childhood and her sister’s mysterious death haunt him all the years and
the wicked daayan doesn’t come back as she actually never left his side.
Konkana
looks so evil and stole the show in the first half. I actually checked if the
elevator in my apartment had the “6” button in it. Thankfully we had no sixth
floor. To know more you should watch the movie and know the significance of
“666.” Visesh Tiwari performed brilliantly as the kid Bobo and his innocent
sister and the horrible end to the first half makes one squirm! First time director
Kannan Iyer, writer Mukul Sharma and the writer/producer Vishal Bharadwaj
excellently managed the story till interval and succeeded in scaring the shit
out of viewers. Post intermission Kalki enters as Lisa dutt confusing the
already confused Bobo little more. Kalki’s role and the dialogues were not up
to the mark and the sudden twist diluted the spook quotient and turned the
movie to a humorous watch. I shouted in the first half and laughed loud in the
last scene. I wish I was transfixed to my seat till the end. The only fault of
horror movies in India is analyzing each and every aspect and frame leading to
a haywire end. Few things should be left unsolved!
Needless to say the ending was disappointing.
All in all the performances of actors and actresses were top notch and raised
the bar of quality level horror movies in India. Pawan Malhotra was natural as
Bobo’s bewitched dad in the first half and Rajtava
Dutta as the puzzled hypnotist was perfect for the script! Saurabh Goswami's cinematography is worth applause.
Music by Gulzar is good. I am tuned to yaaram song from the day I watched the
movie . Tote Ud gaye is fun to watch. . All the ladies are seductive but
Konkana for sure ruled. I now watch behind my back in a lift! She is one hell
of a witch whom you will remember for years
The
elevator, lizard and all the subtle hints of diabolism made me sleep deprived
for two days. I was actually scared when power went off in the mid of the night.
As a final verdict I can say the movie is better than many horror movies made
in India in the past. If only the ending was as good as the beginning I would
have stated that this is the best horror movie so far!
My rating : 3/5
Below is a glimpse of the movie and my favorite song Yaaram !
The Day 2 prompt for "May Photo A Day Challenge : A challenge that will change your life"is 2 . Morning ritual: What’s something you do most morning. Shoot and share it. My early morning ritual these days is gymming but as I forgot to shoot it ;) I want to display what I do most of the morning. With so many challenges I am glued to my blog and others blogs these days hence my morning ritual is browsing through blogs with a bowl of oats !
I am just out of the hectic A to Z challenge and I guess my KRAZY nerves are tickled like never before. I was informed about this challenge by my blogger friend "Shilpa" and I thought I would also take it up. This is my first post for "May Photo A Day Challenge : A challenge that will change your life" Today's prompt is - 1. I bought this!: Share a photo of something you purchased, whether it be today, recent or something long ago. Today I have two brand new things to show off. First one is a pair of daily wear sandals I bought just today. Black Bata sandals which are very comfortable and pretty . Below is a snap shot.
Second one is some thing "we bought" not just me ;) I cant afford a car yet ! The below brand new TOYOTA "Etios" in red is brought by my dad and we are still amused by its beauty
