Taare Zameen Par!!

kyon iss kadar haeraan tu
mausam ka hai mehmaan tu
o duniya sajee tere liye
khud ko zara pehchaan tu
tu dhoop hai
chamm se bikhar
tu hai nadi
o bekhabar
behe chal kahi
udd chal kahi
dil khush jahaan
teri to manzil hai vaheen…

Khoya Khoya Chand again!!

Khoya Khoya Chand

A movie close to reality yet not sore. It had its sweet moments and the painful ones too connected to the emotions fabricated in those sweet moments. The narration and quick flow in the depressing parts made the movie watchable. You would probably not cry watching the unhappy scenes but would notice the emotional reactions involved. Very intricately portrayed points of view and sentiments. Every character had the different shades of grey...

Little Women

The book review has to wait for until I read the book. Which I am going to, now that I have seen the movie and have loved it soooo much. Little Women... the story of the four sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy - each one with a different set of talents, dreams and flaws. And each of their lives build so well on their charachteristics, leaving you wondering if their lives shaped that way because of what they were or if they were meant to be what they were to be able to take all that life had to offer.
Everything was so apt. Meg's beauty, vanity and then her married life; Beth's generosity and her illness; Amy's art, sophistication and her Europe trip; And of course Jo, the one I relate to the most, her books, her writing and her independent life. I loved Jo's ideas, dreams and conviction. I was so sure in the last scene that Jo would not be able to ask Prof. Bhaer to stay. I was engrossed enough in the movie to have been pessimistic. But am glad she did. She had to.. Alcott had written the story long ago :)
The movie left a pleasant beautiful feeling. And with diwali lights all around and the festive mood having set in, the feeling persists.
