Life in a [so called] Metro

Yesterday, after a long while, I again sat in PVR Spice to see a movie. Pritam choose to see Metro as he had heared too many Good/bad reviews [overall it was +ve]. The movie starts with some glimpses of few desperate lives. It was strange to see that basically movie showed people searching for happiness as if it doesn't exists or if it exists, it exists only in being UnFaithful to your better half. It seemed like it's must to do something wrong to destroy trust between the 2 lives.

The song sequences were real good....whenever these charming faces appeared on screen, it was making good sense. Also songs were good and sung too well.

Again, Konkana sen, k.k. proved to be best of the lot [although the gay scene is always on the part of Konkana to handle]. Shiney is star and too good for serious roles. There are a lot shown about call centres. I heard a lot about it but seems like the director has gone too far where he has created a web of unfaithful wifes of call center employees. Irfan is prompt actor and last few dialogues are funniest one.

Overall an OK movie to go for....Song sequences are too good !!

Spiderman

After viewing it seventh time, I still was charmed about the dialogues of SPIDERMAN. A number of conversations between Spidey and MJ were too good and actually few of them are mind blowing. I tried to find out some of them and I found precisely what I searched, Thanx to Google [not really for this probably?]

• Spider-Man introduction.

"Who am I? You sure you wanna know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale, if somebody told you I was just your average, ordinary guy, not a care in the world, somebody lied. But let me assure you, this, like any story worth telling, is all about a girl ... That girl. The girl next door ... Mary Jane Watson, the woman I loved since before I even liked girls. I'd like to tell you that's me next to her, heck I'd even take him ... That's me."

• The upside-down kiss.

SM: "You have a knack for getting in trouble"
MJ: "You have a knack for saving my life. I think I have a superhero stalker"
SM: "I was in the neighbourhood"
MJ: "Do I get to say thank you this time?"

• Peter to Mary Jane in aunt May hospital room (about Spidey).

MJ: "Has he matching me?"
Peter: "Yeah!"
MJ: "What he said?"
Peter: "I said, um... He asks me what I thought about you."
MJ: "And what did you say?"
Peter: "I said, uh, Spider-Man I said, uh, the great thing about M.J. is when you look in her eyes, and she is looking back in yours, everything feels not quite normal, because you feel stronger, and weaker at the same time. You feel excited, and at the same time, terrified. The truth is you don't know what you feel, except you know what kind of man you wanna be. It's as if you've reached the unreachable, and you weren't ready for it..."

[This one is so romantic, touching that I tried to remember it few times, I had the same feeling sometime...ummmmmmmm]

MJ: "You said that?"
Peter: "Something like that."

• Peter to Mary Jane Watson in the cemetery.

"I want you to know, that I will always be there for you. I will always be there to take care of you. I promise you that. I will always be your friend."

• Spider-Man conclusion.

"Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words, with great power comes great responsibility. This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-Man."

I love the movie, MJ etc......

Aaj phir aankh mein nami si hai

Yesterday, while cleaning up few packets/folders, I noticed few old papers. Seemed like old love letters which we posted one another a number of times. Gone were the days when we do it but yesterday, I could feel the fragrance of them. Once, I felt low and then realized that gone were the days when it happened. Remembered few lines from one of Jagjit Singh's ghazal...

"Sham se aankh mein nami si hai,
Aaj phir aapaki kami si hai"

Anyways, I have created a circumference around myself and world has started looking beautiful....what if I don't have ............ and again I remember a ghazal sung by Chandan Das -

"Apana GAM le ke kahin aur na jaya jaye,
Ghar mein bikhari hui cheezon ko sajaya jaye"

Life is treating well, offcourse !!

"Two Lives"

I read it somewhere or dreamt.....

'I'(a name) never expected to be in the exhilarating moment of that day....How lovely it was !! My assignments had to be tackeled in a business meeting and I was staying in a 5Star. Everything went well and in the evening, while coming out of the hotel, I saw a familiar face...no, I don't belive this...YES, but it was she. In the uniform, she looked prettier than old days....'I' said hello, when our eyes met....and the response was as if we didn't know each other...then suddenly I saw the same sparkling eyes....and she said hello shaking hands..

'I' : How are you ?
'She' : Not bad, and you ?
'I' : Can't say, good but life goes on !!
'She' : So....
'I' : I am here on an assignment and just completed meeting with a client....went great so just wanted to roam around a bit. Do you work here ?
'She' : Yes, I am Lounge Manager here.
'I' : Good to see you here.
A smile on here face....was it painful... ?

'I' : I am staying in ###. If you could manage sometime, you are welcome !! I'll feel good.

She shakes her head, looked into my eyes and moved quietly.......

My heart was suddenly sinking....My mind lost in thoughts and I went back to room. Gone were the days when these 'Two Lives' made sense to each other. Isn't it strange that today, after meeting again, things were not at all good but amazingly disturbing. I still was in past when there was a knock and she entered, changed in casuals...she came and sat just in front of me.

'She' : Who was responsible for what happened ?

'I' was stunned on receiving the question and couldn't think if she still could be so straight.

'I' : If I say, it was me then......isn't the situations were responsible for it.
'She' : huh....(A deep, sad smile)
'I' : (felt hurted, heart pounding like anything)
: Sorry.........Foooooohhhhhhhhh
: How is life treating with....your......
'She' : (smile, This used to be my life sometime earlier) going great. He is a pilot. Often abroad..on different flights.
'I' : Good......
'She' : and you......
'I' : I felt, I was responsible so never thought of any other option...
'She' : (laugh as if I desrved it) Sorry, you should have got someone.
'I' : yes, definitely I should have...but I didn't...
'She' : (sobbing...)
'I' : no, please....why....(I felt heavy too).
: (I stood up and hold here hand...) It's Ok !! We have 'Two Lives' and this is what we should face.
'She' : (smile) ....

We had a nice time together......After a while,

'She' : We have 'Two Lives'....but Can I have 'Two Lives' ?
'I' : (A hug, a nervous smile) You could be an angel for me but I can't be devil for you.

She touched my lips...stood up and left. While closing the door, she turned...."C u again soon" !!

I thought If I would look forward for the same, for the 'Two Lives' !!

Indian Cricket Team !!

So India won the IInd ODI although our heroic batsmen beg at their feet to make 2 digit runs. Nothing new...but the way they come to field and go out..I just wonder if they have some guilt feeling running at the back of their head.

Exploring the net/TV, I found that the CLASS 'A' batsmen like 10dulkar(read 0dulkar), Dravid, Ganguly(don't know if good or bad) are earning hail lot of money and being the richest in Cricket boards, BCCI pays them without any regret. Good that our bowlers helped with bat (doing it number of times) and we won the match.

Cricket world cup is not very far from now and I just wonder what position they have....10th...11th...no !! wait !! There are teams like Holland, Bangladesh, Zimbabve, Kenya....so India placed at 7th...or 8th after world cup..huhh....

What say ?
