She Blogs About This and That!

Life has become simpler today. Technology has made everything look easier and more interesting. You can browse for any kind of information, buy and sell things on the net, take pictures on your cell phone and even “ hangout ” with your friends on popular social networking sites without having to be in any physical space! While of course all these changes have been very beneficial for the human kind, there are certain issues I have with this technologically advanced era! Having been of a generation born in the 80s, I love a lot of things about a whole decade that passed by which marked the end of a century. If technology comes up with a time machine, which does seem like a potential reality, I would want to go back to the 90s and enjoy the simple pleasures life offered. Here are a few things that I miss very strongly of the wonder years. Those were the games… I remember coming home from school and running to my best friend’s place to play both in-door and outdoo...

Acclaimed writer and director Sophia Cappola’s second movie “ Lost in Translation ” is a masterwork of modern times. It emerged as a winner among both audiences and critics alike after its release in 2005. The movie shot entirely in Japan is a sardonic take on the lives of two complete strangers Bob Harris (Murray) and Charlotte ( Scarlett Johansson ). Bob is an actor whose personal and professional lives have become stagnated. With only little hope of reviving he accepts a $ 2 million whiskey commercial deal to be shot in Tokyo. Charlotte is a newlywed who has accompanied her photographer husband to Tokyo where he has a photo shoot assignment. Both Bob and Charlotte suffer the cultural shock silently until they meet each other. They both hit it off instantly and become good friends.  They spill out their life stories to one another. Within the one week of bob’s stay there, Charlotte takes him to her crazy friends who make the whole experience seem adventurous. ...

When I take Jodie Sweetin's name ( @JodieTweetin ) , I am sure there are only two things that come to your minds: one her successful career as Stephanie Tanner in the 90’s sitcom “full house”, the second is her infamous meth addiction. I am reminded of a monologue from the recent hit “ The vow ” to explain why these are the only two things people remember of her. It goes something like this “the sum of all the moments of impacts make us what we are”. So in this case, her huge moments of impact were delivering absolutely wonderful performances as a kid and forgetting what to do after she became, as she puts it, “jobless at the age of thirteen”! The reason behind her second “moment of impact” – the “growing up pains” theory There is a theory regarding child actors growing up to be not so popular individuals. I am just gonna call it “the growin up pains” theory (Yeah, yeah I know it sounds like Kirk Cameron’s popular sitcom "Growing pains").They say people...

First things first, I hadn’t been to this movie on my will! My elder brother Suhi, my elder sister of 15 minutes Susie and I wanted to go to “snow white and the huntsman” in DCR cinemas, Mysore. But god knows why the show got cancelled and since we were already there we thought why not go watch the movie that was shown as an alternative last night. After all it had Charlize Theron as one of the leads. So all I mean to say is that Prometheus is not the kind of movie, any average movie-goer like me would want to watch! Here is why common folk like me and you might not like it- ☞ Because it is beyond our understanding why Westerners are obsessed with making movies either about what happened gazillion years ago (300 BC) or what is going to happen in the distant future (Prometheus)! ☞ Because we worry a lot about today and do not really have time to think about mysterious questions like who created us (that is the subject of this movie), why they created us and how we could...

So I am just gonna start this blog with a movie review of Bill Murray (my idol)... When actors like Bill Murray and Andy MacDowell come together, you only expect fireworks and magic! You expect it to be path-breaking, out-standing or whatever you may want to call it. Groundhog day is said to be one of the best sci-fi romance movies of all times and is considered to have made Bill Murray what he is today. The story is of Phil, an arrogant weather reporter who lives life on his own terms. He has complete disregard for other people’s feelings and interacts with them only because of his work. One day he is sent to a small town Punxsutawney, for covering a festival of sorts called the groundhog day, where a groundhog (surprise, surprise) is said to predict the coming of spring in the town. Starting from there, weirdly every next day the guy wakes up to is the same day- groundhog day! It keeps repeating until Phil discovers the meaning of love and life.  While everythi...
