I SING THE DROOL!
I actually started this blog, promising myself that I would post at least one write up every week.
But me being the lazy me., not been doing any thing purposeful, have been too much into gtalk and I badly want to cut down on it But as always we end up being slaves of our habit.
But finally the day had to come; I saw this movie called “Sita Sings the Blues” few days back. And after watching it, I felt that procrastination needs to come to an end, and I really have to write about this movie and the person behind it. I have been drooling about the movie to everyone I meet.
For those of you who haven’t heard about the movie, “Sita Sings the Blues” is a 2d animation musical based on Ramayana. An infectious, story about love , loyalty and betrayal in both mythical India and modern America, and its a perfect proof that animation can work for adults.
This movie is an epitome of originality. Long back I had read this quote saying “There is no original creation in this world. Originality lies in how well you conceal your source”
And “Sita Sings the Blues” is the finest example of the above anecdote.
I personally couldn’t even imagine that India’s greatest epic would be conceived in such an unique way.
To get any film made itself is an miracle, and to interpret Ramayana like this is an greater miracle.
While making this film I wonder what was Nina thinking. Have u ever imagined “sexy” and “Sita” to be in the same sentence. Yeshh! Sita actually looked really SEXY!
The entire film is 2.D with strict rules, yet the animation is so versatile. Nina has used various styles like cut figures, shadow puppets and characters look so simple yet different.
I just wonder how Nina needs just few lines to create a convincing cat. The character designs are just too good.
The best part of the movie is the 3 shadow puppet characters, and they create real good doses of humor with their casual talk. And for some reason on earth I could actually relate to them.
After watching the movie what really amazed me was the movie is been produced, directed , written, animated and edited by Nina.. Pheeww!!
Can you believe that, this one thing really inspired me. After the watching film I reallly had that “Wake up Sid moment “which made me believe that even I could make my own entrie film by working at home. Sigh!
Nina made this film after her break up with her guy, she found solace in Ramayana and started working on the movie. And after reading about her personal life I AM really happy for her, this was the first time I felt happy for some ones break up…. .
Well all said and done, I really feel one should watch this movie, there are many reasons for it, but most importantly for Nina and her daring attempt to make the film all by herself.

Review, Raat Gayi,Baat Gayi.
Cast: Rajat Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Vinay Pathak
Well I have absolutely no idea how to start, as this is going to be my first review for a movie. So readers! Read it at your own risk.
The catchy tagline says,” It is one of those films where sex does matter”. And it completely sticks to its phrase. When I saw the trailer I assumed it to be something like Hangover, and at least for me I thought it would be quite predictable but after watching the movie I had a complete different perspective.
The movie revolves around these three couples and their relationship with their partners. Rahul(Rajat Kapoor) wakes up with a hangover, completely blank about the last night party he had attended. Only thing he remembers is him getting flirty with a mysterious babe. With the help of his friend he sets on a quest to figure out if he actually did anything naughty or not. The crux of the movies lies on the fact that, how well do we know ourselves, would you really go for something called a one night stand if situation around allows you to do so? The answer is “you really never know”. Every man is still trying to discover his own self. A man is never sure of himself. And maybe that’s why they say “men are dogs”.
But this movie also shows that women are not sati savitries either. Even they get tempted if the occasion calls for it, and even they are not sure and are still trying to discover themselves. As Mitali(Iravati Harshe) after so many years of marriage, regrets to choose her family over her career. Very effortlessly she blames her husband for leaving her alone with her college friend as her frustration enables her to get intimate with him.
Rajat Kapoor is brilliant as a suave husband, a loving father, a mad friend and flirty philander.
I could relate to each and every character in the film. Be it the goofy Amit (Vinay Pathak) who watches porn for some excitement in his life. Or the regular, high tempered emotional wife Nandini (Anu Menon), who throws her husband out of the house.
Dalip Tahil as the writer and the wannabe philosopher is great. The way he gives his point of view on “perspective” is quite interesting as somewhere deep inside his mind he was giving the justification for having a girlfriend almost half his age. His wife Jolly (Navneet Nishan) is the typical page 3 character and suits her role to T.
As a director/writer, Saurabh establishes the party scenes to be very convincing. The varied characters, some sloshed, some pompous, some peculiar, each having fun in their own way, these cameos made the film very candid with good humor.
The movie is very stylish, and smartly exudes the whole urban marriage picture. It has its own slow pace, but also keeps us speculating for larger part of the movie.

Wierd
Do you ever feel stupid about your stupidities? As in, at times, you shouldn't be doing things that you're doing. But, you can't help that. They just happen. You just happen to do them. And then, you wonder what on earth made you do THAT.
At times, I feel that I'm a misfit on this planet and that I should go back to Neptune. I wonder what it would be like if the Neptunians start behaving like the people here.
Ok, are you thinking that I've gone crazy and whatever I'm talking is crap? Neptunians? What nonsense! okieee then i better stop talkin!!!;)

PISSED!!
I'm pissed off.
Pissed off with myself.
Pissed off with the way I think.
Pissed off with the things I do.
Pissed off with the things I know I shouldn't do and I still do.
Pissed off with the way I behave.
Pissed off with the emotional fool that sits inside me.
Pissed off with the way I love people.
Pissed off with my expectations.
Pissed off with my tendency of expecting things all the time.
Pissed off with my tendency of getting jealous.
Pissed off with the killer feeling that I get when I'm jealous.
Pissed off with my tendency of demanding explanations.
Pissed off with my heart and my brain. that work overtime.
Pissed off with my body.
Pissed off with my hair.
Pissed off with everyone.
Pissed off with just EVERYONE & EVERYTHING!
I know I know it'd be fine but it can't help coming back to me!
Pissed off with myself.
Pissed off with the way I think.
