My two cents on Dhobi Ghat / Mumbai Diaries!!

Did you see Dhobi Ghat yet? Nope? Yes? If yes, did you like it? If not, please do let me know whether you liked it if you are planning on watching it. Why I am saying this is because I saw a lot of mixed reviews, comments and opinions about the movie. And some of them plainly just did not make sense. But then, like they say, to each his own!!  I watched it last weekend and I loved the movie. For a lot of reasons. And they are all my personal opinions … in fact more than reasons, they are simple nuances that I liked in the movie and to me, these are what made the movie much more enjoyable than anything else. In case you haven’t watched it yet, fair warning!! There might be spoilers ahead!! The point that struck me the most about the movie was that there was no definitive beginning or end to any of the 4 stories shown in the movie. It was almost as though the director just decided to show snippets of their lives and picked up their story at some point and dropped it at another...

A Tag a day saves the Blog!! ;-)

So much for my tall claims of trying to blog regularly… I can see how that turned out!! :P Okie, I am in full form now… ever since I found this wonderful site called ‘ Sunday Stealing ’ with tags, tags and more tags… and its awesome.. And now I am so glad that there’s someone doing all the tag-stealing for me ;-) you all know how obsessed I am with tags.. :-) They are a sure fire way to rescue your blog from death and you from a blogging hiatus… And without much further ado… here’s a tag!! But this one is not from the site, at least I don’t know if it has been up on the site..!! This is from Calcutta Chromosome and I picked it up!! I had to write something to save my blog from going into oblivion….

Goodbye 2010... here's to 2011 !!! :-) :-)

Yes!! This is the mandatory new year recap post … rather it’s a tad late so let’s make this the new year post and the new year recap post all combined into one!! :-) So how was your New Years Eve? Did you go out party and have fun? :-) Mine was very different from all these past few years.. :-) I slept off at 10:30.. Lol.. Yes! I know! It’s unheard of.. Or unlike me as most people who know me would say..! But for a change… this was one of the quietest new years I have had! My folks are here and we did have some grand plans of hitting Clarke Quay or Marina Bay Sands here to see the countdown to the New Year… but at the end of the day, I just wanted to head back home, put up my feet and just relax and bring in the New Year. But I could not even keep my eyes open… :P I dozed off by 10:30, and hubby woke me up at 11:55 for the countdown.. So I wished everyone around me a very happy new year and promptly slept off again! :-) Okie Okie! I know what you’re all thinking… Yes I am lil’ bit as...
