Cinema

Now, this is a very unlikely topic for me to be writing about. I do not fit into the category of people who feel something missing in life if they aren't updated with the hits and misses of the Box Office.

I watch movies very rarely, and on the big screen very, very rarely.

But then the last week has seen me watch quite a couple of movies on television...all thanks to my fluctuating health condition which saw me sitting at home most of the time of the day. The weekend was fun with a hat-trick! I had been wanting to see Asoka for a long time, having always caught the movie on TV in bits and parts, Saturday morning I caught a glimpse of it just when it has begun...and sat glued throughout. There is something very catchy about these epics and legends. Just when I thought I would switch off the TV after having refreshed my knowledge about the Emperor Asoka's journey, Rang De Basanti was the next movie - back to back. So I was again glued to the couch...for a movie so good and songs that I simply love, my comp could sacrifice my presence a little more. That is why the club stationary and banner designs for my Presidential year in Rotaract Club of Thane Central were inspired by this image.

After this I again spent Sunday morning watching Jodha-Akbar, a gorgeous looking movie that I did enjoy watching, something I wasn't really anticipating. So all in all the weekend was entertaining (but I missed munching on pop corn!)

I still have a wish list of a bunch of movies I haven't yet managed to watch. Topping the list would still be Lion King!! (Yes, I know...I haven't seen it yet! just like I still haven't been to Essel world!!) Rutu you owe me this movie, but yes thanks to you that we had such a gala time watching Wall E, one of the most cuteeeeeest movies I have seen in a long time!

Let's see if someone actually recollects what all was mentioned in the wish-list I had made on scrap paper a long, long time back.
