Life .... a series of Moments

Life a series of Moments…
Life is beautiful… there could be nothing simpler than that,
Life is noticing the subtle things the butterfly fluttering, the cuckoo singing, the raindrops falling, the flower blossoming;
Life is a rainbow that harnesses are dreams within the bounty of its colors…
Each second, each minute, each hour and each day is a little Life, to be cherished as the most precious thing, Life is acknowledging the supreme being, Life is the enthusiasm that envelops us all…
Life is being proud of our nation, its progress, its achievements, life is to be lived, to be enjoyed and to be laughed with, Life is sharing of the sorrows, about finding pleasures in the pain,
Life is about Love, thoughts, feelings, empathies… a series of moments…
… That’s Life… it’s we who make it beautiful… as someone rightly said… beauty is in the eyes of the Beholder… Life is Beautiful
Wish you all a 2010 filled with a series of beautiful moments… !!

What is your Rashee????

What is your Rashee???
I remember as a teenager being fascinated by Linda Good man’s thesis, that Homo sapiens can finally be classified into 12 categories... until this movie…
The movie began with Yogesh Patel coming to India, on receipt of a text message that his father had a cardiac arrest. When he lands in Mumbai, he only realizes that the entire slot was a gimmick and the idea was to get him wedded ( I’m sure we have seen this in a zillion movies!)
On reading a Gujarati Novel (whatever!) he decides to meet one girl from every zodiac sign.
Starting from Aries to Saggitarius (Phew!! 12 songs for each sunsign; not to forget the summary song, that makes it 13!!)The only saving grace of the movie, is.. Priyanka Chopra. She has done an amazing job!! The portrayal of 12 different characters is so effortless, but mind you this is only on the acting bit. The script for each of the sign was a joke and for obvious reasons biased! For example, the Libran sunsign was portrayed as Business Tycoon – hardcore professional, captures MOM (Minutes of the Meeting!) of every conservation, even when out on a date! cant do without an assistant, cut throat… PUHLEEZE… exaggeration at its ugliest peak!
Talking about the climax, the final choice is made by an uncle of the hero (makes you wonder, this could have happened at the beginning of 3 and half hours).
At the end of the movie, I felt like … Hey Director.. WTF is your Rashee!!
Looks like not only our PC but even the audience deserve to be in the Guiness Book of World Records for sitting through … :)
