Udta Punjab: Strong, Raw and Focused

I would love this chance to comment on the movie and I warn you now that if you havent seen the film, I suggest you turn back this instant!!

Udta Punjab, the tittle itself is quite interesting, the most basic and straight forward inference that can be drawn is "the 'high' addicts of punjab", high here is for those intoxicated, high is also the number of addicts. I myself  have never been exposed to the drug problem in punjab but this sure gives you a real insight. The movie remains focused on the drug problem all through the film, for some time you may even believe its a movie made for a social cause, and it just might be.

The film received a raw treatment as compared to other films and this kinda adds up to the message portrayed. The story is very strongly represented through characters and harsh realities embedded into reel (yes, it is a reality that punjabis have that filthy mouth when it comes to imposing a strong personality). One thing that set back the entire movie for me were the punches (short duration dubs) used for Kareena Kapoor Khan, I mean after being an actress for so long, cant you adopt to a punjabi character (and I say this coz I myself am a punjabi) whereas, Alia Bhatt, played her part really well and convincingly and so did the rest of the 2 actors, Shahid Kapoor killed it and Daljit Just makes acting look easy.

So if you havent watched it yet, go ahead, and watch it.
"In ancient china artists used to say to the kings, let me take you through my art" I think we are in our best of abilities only to guess what all these pieces of art signify.

Hysteria

Heyo readers,         Its been a while since i wrote my emotions and this is because you all got a competitor to whom i tell my feelings instead of indulging you guys. I am back here because i wanted to share this one with you all. I have recently learned that it does take loss for one to become expressive in one way or the other and to us (i cant say teenager any more) love is the usual loss or so we believe.        Today, i wont talk of love. well, i will try not to talk about love. The name of the note is so because i dont remember what was the last feeling i held within me. Everything is hysterical to me, no matter what it is. It is said to be a fool's trait who blurts out everything without thinking of the consequences. Guess i knew that for long enough thus the "extraordinary fool". Well, forgive me for i am not a man of my word, so coming back to my favourite topic LOVE. It has been sometime since i gave this advice to a friend "speak your...

Love What Loves You Back !!!

heyo readers (sometimes i feel like i should write "dear diary" :P :D ) Anyways so here is the deal, been on this thought since last two days and  cant seem to reach its end because every time i think of ending this  something new just knocks on my skull and shouts " you are not done yet ".  So, what happened was that i was thinking on this particular matter and something old  came to me ..  you know how we just love being with our best friends , call them to meet up ,  turn to them for help, ask them for a party coz we managed to pass in a subject with 2 marks.  But, many a times we feel that maybe our best friend doesn't wanna talk to us maybe he/she  grew tired of us and then we start showering the calls , msgs, gifts .. and stuff  just so you can get that one friend back.  This is something i cant understand that why do we act like a underdeveloped imbecile coz we who are capable of change, run...

Cold Feet

hey .. how are you guys ..?? Today was extraordinary , because today i was travelling :P (sweet right ??) .  well i wont be so sure of it. I was travelling with a single question in mind .  we might have seen .. in the movies (romantic comedies) that the brides have pre-wedding jitters  and sometimes grooms have cold feet hence the title. No please dont jump to conclusions im not getting married . The phrase is associated with marriage but it stands for having the inability to act on oneself's decision.  well that is whats happening here as well . I am low today because of a decision not taken but imposed on me and this i have to live by . I have been looking at it like it was way too far to worry about it just yet . Yesterday i got a wake up call and the decision looked me in the eye and in a taunting tone it asked  " ready for me yet chum?? " .  I was dumbstruck ... thinking that the time had come near enough to face this decision . ...
