Drop me a line

-
Since everything around me is currently behaving like a wet, temparemental cat, I am stewing in righteous indignation. I cannot edit my profile to my satisfaction. Anyway, what can be done using a mere 'field', I shall do by putting forth a 'post.'

Self-righteous indignation doth brings forth self-aggrandisement.

My email address (that did not get included in my profile) is: raut_mukta@hotmail.com

And on the subject of contrariness, watch Viruddh. Watch Amitabh and oh so definitely watch Sharmila Tagore.

Sunjay Dutt you definitely won't miss but pay close attention in any case.

Welcome, Mahesh Manjrekar - I most definitely have missed you since Astitva.

And yes, if you like the movie, or are indifferent to it, use the email in this post. Actually, the comments section does just fine... and I'll stop with the temperamental feline mewing right now.

Well, I really wanna watch Virrudh. Qatar is a bad place for movies man. I mean, they get released after ages, and they're off before you blink.
Anyway... I've heard good stuff about Amitabh in this movie. This man just keeps getting better and better. He's simply God.

And err --- Astitva --- Mahesh Manjrekar? What you talking about?

Hi!

Anumita! Glad I saw u here - I've been trying to get in touch with you and Ch like crazee! And thank hey Janaki, I'll give you a call soon. Will be getting my phone back in operating mode soon.

Hi R,

Actually Viruddh is a really good film - so no, that didn't put me to sleep. But I would recommend Constantine - that'll work for sure! Lemme know how it goes!

Hi Hemant,
Nahi yaar - that didn't work. Thanks for the tip though.


Hi Conman,

Astitva was the last film that Mahesh Manjrekar made that I really weally liked. Post that he took up acting or made these films that were, um - u know, good conceptually, but the movie tended to go astray. There was Pita with Sunjay Dutt (he's the reason i watch ANY movie) and Nandita Das. Then there was one with Ajay Devgan and Sonali Bendre. It was a nice film but too long. Now, with Virudh, MM is BACK! Btw, have you seen Vaastav? Really good flick - (again Sunjay Dutt.)

Saw Viruddh on Wednesday night when Mumbai was fighting with rains,drains & brains (lack of it on part of Govt. officials).I was at a friend's place in Charni Road where life was near-normal.Must say Amitabh has done a great job, but then you expect nothing but the best from him.Watch out for the scene when after his son's death he tries to participate in a laughter club session in the park and ends up in tears.MM has done a great job,though the product placements suck and the end is a bit too filmy!!!

Check (the) mate

My cousin, who was born sixteen hours before me, got married recently. I am expected to follow her footsteps soon. Thankfully, I have been granted more than sixteen hours to do that. My father’s health has taken a turn for the worse. My mother is completely exhausted. Rationally, points 1, 2, and 3 would be distinct from each other. But in my family there is no such thing as ‘rationally’. Therefore all these points are inter-related. Strangely, here, we believe my marriage to be an antidote to mortality and fatigue. I happened to be sitting in my parents’ room while Ma looked through Papa’s blood reports. They didn’t look good. Ma was worried and Papa didn’t help matters much. He kept talking about Sourav Ganguly and why he deserved better. Ma got further agitated and after flinging the reports somewhere inconvenient to retrieve (I should know), she snapped, “So what? There are many like him.” Papa doesn’t believe that and would have no one in his family believe that either. He went to...

Not the same, all the same - Rang de Basanti, being a Hindu, uniform civil code, and Hostage – in that unrelated sequence

-
I watched ‘Rang de basanti’. That, however, is not the point. Everyone now wants to go to Delhi and cruise around in jeeps at night. And that too is not the point. I need to say something. That, really, is the point. ‘Rang de…’ is a good movie but frankly, I’ve seen better. I’ve seen ‘Yuva’. It is creditable, though, that the movie could say what it did without using the ‘sage on the stage’ (as we say in Instructional Design) approach. The movie does have a couple of ideas that I have been besotted with for a long time now. One is the life of a story. There is the germ of an idea about men who go to their deaths cheerfully. There is fascination about what could inspire such courage in ordinary people. That story lays inside a diary for a long time. How long? Long enough for history to play itself out and begin the process of repeating itself. A nation goes the ‘Animal Farm’ way – humans out, pigs in. The story lays untouched – fermenting in latent vigor. Then someone discovers it. She ...

Save the Indian (male) child

This isn't exactly a feminist tirade, but this is written by a woman, and it is written in annoyance. You raise your girls to be sweet, strong, and independent. (Wise parents teach their children to listen to opinions and discard or heed accordingly. The other ones just teach their kids to bullshit everything that everyone says. Still others bring up girls to be on guard and forget that spine so that everyone thinks well of them. I am not sure which is worse, but I detest people shoving their opinions down other people's throats in a show of liberation, so I'll lean towards the former. But only slightly.) As the gender construct of being a 'female' is pushed even further, you teach your daughter complicated activities – driving, perhaps, sending them off away from home, wearing a sari (those freaking pleats!), cooking and de-veining prawns for added advantage. At the end of that, you have a person who genuinely dislikes blending into anything, doesn't like bei...
