3 Idiots
Jan 14th
Amir did not have to do all those promo trips round the country. He should have had more confidence in the movie!
The movie gave good laughs and you could forgive the length (20 or 21 reels) because of that. And all the while doling out advice. Advice to parents, advice to students, advice those about to be engaged. And most importantly advice to the Teachers.
IIM Bangalore’s campus was well utilized and the locales in Ladakh were awsome.
And at the end of the movie, I had a little change of heart. May be I will be more more sensitive to my son’s wishes than I am now and hope to improve on this issue.
I have to thank the movie for an wholesome entertainment in conclusion.
P.S: Chetan Bhagat did not receive enough credits. ( Is someone telling me to ’shut up’?)
Nine Lives by William Dalrymple
Dec 30th
I started to read this book ‘Nine Lives’ by William Dalrymple. It is a collection of 9 stories, more aptly essays. I read three stories so far. Will add more on this later. Each one is an unstoppable read so far.

Paa – The movie…
Nov 25th
Paa: What a movie!! Hats off to the makeup man and director and Amithab. I have a feeling that, Abhishek is growing into such a mature actor. I had this feeling after watching Guru. It is fully confirmed now.
Vidya balan lost some fat and looks so beautiful. Her sarees and the way she wore chose her matching blouses and her affection and affirmed action are just not to be missed.
