Just as the songs and the trailers of the movie "3 Idiots" have been doing the rounds on the television channels, I cannot help going ga-ga over the visuals from the movie, and hence this special post. "3 Idiots" is loosely based on my favorite Chetan Bhagat novel called 'Five Point Someone'. The film is directed by Rajkumar Hirani, and is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. It has Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Boman Irani and Kareena Kapoor in the key roles. Abhijat Joshi & Rajkumar Hirani have written the screenplay. Though Chetan Bhagat was not involved with the scripting, he has given his stamp of approval after having seen the final draft of the screenplay. The music has been composed by Shantanu Moitra & the lyrics have been penned by Swanand Kirkire. The film is slated for Christmas release, that is on December 25, 2009. It is giving me goosebumps that the most eagerly awaited film of the year is all set to hit the theaters just as the year would be on its way out.

Kolkata is likely to feature prominently on this blog, just as it is likely to feature the personal preferences - as far as films, books or music or other finer aspects of life are concerned.

Grim Tidings
The times haven't been easy....
The times haven't been right....
I alone know how it hurts
Even after the crisis is out of sight.
Even when
I wish I could yell....
Arre Bhaiya,
All Is Well!!!
But all is NOT well, my dear friend.
I miss you.
I miss all the silliness that we used to share.
I miss the lost opportunities...
But
I miss the awkwardness of an acceptance the most.
The grim reality of life:
'People don't change when you give them better option,
they change only when they realise there is no other option.'
But I ask, did I really have an option....
Eons after the options were given a waiver?
Was there any other option?
Other than absorbing myself in self-pity,
or wallowing in endless misery?
The grim reality of life: No one loves a loser!
But ain't a loser ever gonna be missed?????
I am told: "The answer is blowing with the wind,
my friend (sic)... This is exactly what you call LIFE!"
I ask, do you regret my refusal to break free?
I am told: "I don't regret anything...
Everything enriches (sic) me...
I try to take (sic) things positively...!"
I implore: Do you miss me?
Ever?
Do you miss talking to me?
Do you miss me all of a sudden one fine morning?
Or on a pensive afternoon, or on a lonesome night?
No? Never???
I receive no answers....
Do I hear the wind?
I wonder.
Since when did the wind become so silent????
I reinstate: I do miss you.
Always.
When times are fast,
moments are hard,
When everyone's busy,
when seconds are few,
My grim tidings remind me,
that I am alive because my heart has been remembering you.
I wish I could yell:
All Is Well!!!
But all is NOT well, my dear friend.
I miss you......
