Alien Thoughts...

From a forwarded email:

The Surest Sign That Intelligent Life Exists Elsewhere In The Universe
Is The Fact That It Has Never Tried To Contact Us.

How true does this sound?

What has the human race done to feel proud of itself?
If tomorrow we were to be part of inter-stellar society what can we showcase as our achievements?

A Ruined planet?

Millions of hungry, homeless people?

War?

Forget the human race.. what have you done, today, as an individual, to make us proud?

In my heart...

As I land back in Bristol after spending close to five months at home (New Delhi, India) I have the following lines in my heart:

Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering

U2 and Johnny Cash - The Wanderer

Back to the land where...

...the rain it burns
like the tears when I said goodbye

U2 and Johnny Cash - The Wanderer

Bheja Fry: An enjoyable 2 hours

Bheja Fry
Ranking: Heart Attack! (10/10)

This is one of the best new Hindi movies that I have seen in 2007 (till now).

I don't need to post a long review because the movie is short (2 hrs including interval time) and has a simple story line. Vinay Pathak has acted really well and at no point, during the movie, does the story seem to drag on. There are no useless jokes added (thankfully) and there is a bitter-sweet, real life (not reel life) feel to the movie. This could also be because of the absence of big name actors.

One of my fellow movie watchers in the theatre (an attractive female no less) passed a comment, which I happened to hear and agree with. She said 'the first half was good and the second half even better'. The movie keeps twisting and turning while never becoming complex or deviating too far from the main theme.

The main theme of the movie is: never judge a person by first impressions, go deeper and get to know them before you make up your mind.

Go watch it! Then go buy the DVD (original one - its worth the extra bucks for this movie) when it comes out.

This is a movie you can enjoy for years to come, whenever you need that bit of comedy without wanting to sit through a 3 hour Bollywood blockbuster with idiotic jokes and forced humour.
