Someone is into poem writing :(
Help (!)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Might sound a little crazy here
Might make a Fool (of myself)
Someone is beginning to fall for you…
Someone is strongly
Feeling for you.
It doesn’t concern me
The ‘Ifs’ and ‘Hows’
I know I’m into this
Forever...
Forever Now.
Moments...

I LOVE 'How I met your mother'
This serial series was loaded into my comp by a friend. I had heard the name, but, never really seen much of it. However, I'm SO hooked to it, that suddenly no other how and/or movie seems to be holding interest.
While I'm OKAY with this sudden addiction, it's also making me wonder, what is it about the serial?! On this, me leaves to google fow some enlightenment. Catch you later...! :)

horrible Workings
Indeed
I have been trying way too hard
Perhaps
An automatic invitation to disappointment
However, One does
And that’s all that you know how to…
It’s one way or the other
Most of the times
And you thrive
Ignorance Sublimed.

My Left Foot (Christy Brown)
My Left Foot
Review no.6
Christy Brown is severely paralyzed (Cerebral Palsy), and has just the left foot under voluntary control. With only as much equipment, he struggles through everyday; and, becomes a poet, author and painter. My Left Foot is his biography, and vividly captures everything that it should.
Though the movie opens on a painful sight (protagonist working with his foot), it moves on to much brighter scenes. Overall a relish to watch. Irish culture is depicted in a very appropriate manner (both qualitatively and quantitatively); Christy’s mother gets unequivocal appreciation, and the tone of the entire movie is simply heart-warming.
All the same, I couldn’t help but wonder, at a purely personal level, if the movie comes close to reality. Not to undermine the value of keeping its watching-appeal alive, but, since cerebral palsy is a serious predicament, some serious issues seem to have been omitted from the movie. Some googling also revealed that Mary (Christy’s nurse and wife) was a former prostitute, and that Christy died of some sexual abuse. These darker issues are completely omitted from the movie.
The dedication and sweat of every person involved in this flick shows, in fact shouts for itself. And, it deserves all the credit it got. A scene that sticks with the viewer (presumably) is when Brown hears of his doctor, Eirene Collis’, marriage plans. His agony in the restaurant is excruciating, and one can just wait… Till he reconciles…

crazy vichaar 2
There are days when your heart weeps
Shouts to a certain thing
Others when you don’t realize
You don’t do
And Happiness bruises you
It’s more a Dumbledore
Life
While you just watch
Urban to rural
Like stuff
Things
Unused.

My Sister's Keeper Review (both book and movie)
My Sister’s Keeper (Review no. 5)
If you have already read Jody Picoult’s novel, the experience of watching this movie will be less intense. Yet, it’s a great movie. As a psychology enthusiast, I couldn’t help, but, repeatedly note the minute details with which each character’s persona has been carved. Additionally, the conversation patterns throughout the movie are exactly the way any family with unconditional love among its family members would display. It’s amazing, awesome, grippling and grasping. One can’t really just leave while watching this flick.
My first conscious reaction was an acceptance of Anne’s move. Personally, I could only empathize with her, and as has been already pointed out (for the novel), felt an unfavourable opinion developing for Mrs. Fetzergerald. However, that’s just for the novel, and since this review is more about the movie, I’ll come back to that. Cameron Diaz does an idyllic job.
Some net surfing brought to light critics’ disliking of the portrayal of Kate’s character. Neh, not for me. I loved her just the way she is. Even if a bit too soft, or, on the ‘weaker’ side; Kate creates a music of her own. In fact, she can’t be expected to be a bolder character. What with repeated hospitalizations and a nervous and almost-dysfunctional family, Kate is bound to be as she is shown. No complaints!
The revelation about the entire suing-idea being Kate’s thinking, of course, is very oomph-generating. However, the final end in the novel (I read it in plane) is absolutely spectacular. Absolutely. Movie is less exciting there (final end is different); but, if one is watching the movie directly (with nil experience of the novel), it’ll be a smooth marshmallow-like end.

Some crazy vichaar
There’s pain involved in progress. I read this line; well – heard – in a movie – ‘Angels of America’. Related, I remember John Abraham’s statement – Going through pain brings Pride. Finally, I presume ‘life’ is all about ‘HAPPINESS’, and once you go through pain… Rest follows. Joy and/or happiness can also come through beauty.
I love these thoughts…

Movie mania... Goodwill Hunting Review (no.4)
Review No. 4
One of my best ALL-TIME-WATCHes. ‘Goodwill Hunting’ comes out as a heart touching, tear-spiller and moving movie. Robin Williams is, as usual, super good. Matt Damon acts well, too; but, perhaps gets an extra credit based solely on his looks. He is good to watch though. Minnie is pretty, and, a perfect fit to her role.
It’s remarkable where the viewer realizes the enormity of everything without really having to see the abuse (the scene where Sean breaks to Will that it wasn’t his fault). The entire movie is shot at a plane above the routine. It sort of functions, as well as evolves on its own; working more at an emotional-and-feeling based level. Lovable.
