LA LA LAND

 Stories are immortal, they are meant to stay in our heart forever. This one will stay eternally, the exuberant frames, the beautiful use of lights...which takes us for a flight of stars and back to reality; from a company of two to solitary lands.

 The love story of 'to be or not,to be'. The sense of self journey, the love of couple moments and the sudden halt to reality and eternity of our chosen paths; the time together might not last forever but love does, and so does ,what it does to us...becomes us.


Seb and Mia bring in the connotations from 'Rebel Without a Cause' not in the story but in the context of characterisation. Mia stands for what Seb believes in and Seb believes in what's inside Mia...consequently Mia reminds Seb of what's his capability...the art of bringing evolutionary joy to his audiences.


A love story which is a dedication to our dreams , no matter how unreal they are..

A tribute to Paris, which really is 'The city of love'...not in terms of any meaning you give it but the fluidity and growth that it is!


The cinemascope view and the use of nostalgic elements like the transition through seasons depicted in a classical way or the junctures of songs ...which bring a reminiscence to song culture of our own Indian cinema.


The purity of a dreamy, serene and delicate love which never asks for a happy ending...

The beauty of jazz experienced while listening to it as well as hearing Seb put it in words...

The character journey's that touch the core of a persons being inside...

LA LA LAND stays inside for a long long time...

CHOICES.

When you   are a kid there are as many dreams in your eyes as are stars in the sky, and as growing up happens, each stage presents new dreams ,new adventures but once you plan to settle down, especially in an Indian set up   choices constrict and dreams vanish and all you are left with is pleasing your family; and playing that socially right kind of role… and if you deny it and start living life on own terms …suddenly your image becomes black and tarnished, you change and so people around criticize you in tons and poke noses at u and point fingers…   this is the one. Well do I sound pessimistic, hmmm… it can be a point of view but that’s what I have observed , it’s not about you being negative or positive it’s just an observation which can’t be totally neutral. Thus, come choices, while you are   a kid choices are about food ,studies, roaming out with friends, they confuse you at that time but when you grow up they really define your life…like after 12 th if you plan for a Btech and t

Inheritence of Loss

 #Inheritence of Loss Good evening everyone, since the movie has been released I couldnt muster the courage to watch it. I havent even seen #Shikara; but with the amount of hue and cry on social media and so many Kashmiri Pandits coming forward and rendering their heart out, I went ,petrified but went to witness on screen what our grandparents died wishing for#a glimpse of homeland,#shankaracharya pith darshan, the singing on roads of #legacy of shiva trikha philosophy...they died with a dream that ..ik doh gasav kashir..gari panun (still waiting)... The movie portrays the dreadful plight of my community bit by bit accurately, this happened,yes shameful, tragic and incomprehensible but happened, I tried sleeping after watching it but couldnt...cant stop my tears The massacre, the rape and mutiliation of bodies of females, the fear to portray your relegious symbols(vermilion or the janeo), bitta katare and shabir shah terror ,it all happened my friends People left like herds bundled up

QUESTIONS...

Since the time we are born,we are meant to survive and be optimistic else its impossible to stay…as says Charles Darwin ,’survival for the fittest’.Thus begins our journey to live to fight and not to ask questions to that Almighty. Throughout   this journey called life ,when we move through different stages, its always about survival,feeding, desires, expectations and frustations emerging out of that,happiness becomes relative… And questions you should not ask… People say you should be an honest, hardworking and   god fearing man…first two adjectives are alright but the third one …is god so shallow that in his kingdom we have to be fearful citizens… THERE is this movie –BRUCE ALMIGHTY…very very impressive and inspiring,even so many books and spiritual teachers to explain the bigger things in life and forget about the smaller personal issues…but till the self is not satisfied and resolved how to look with kindness towards others . So many questions and only one answer –look within…but a
