Parzania!

Saw a movie on Thursday night. First luxury - Thursday night movie. Second luxury - time to talk with husband (lately time is a super luxury!). Third luxury - nice movie system and well made movie. Parzania - among Sarika's comeback movies, Naseerudin Shah and a true story from Gujarat.

Okay, so this is why idealogy has to triumph. I can't hear of anything good about a party that perpetrates Godhra on a people. Police was penetrated by the saffron rage....little children on the run, atrocity on a scale that is mind boggling. Dynastic politics aside, I can not take the argument that it is okay to lie with the communal devil because it allows some brooms in to sweep. These are the Republicans in feel, taste and style....religion and weapons everywhere.

Felt a bit unsafe after seeing the movie - can see Karnataka going the Gujarat way and compound walls don't feel as high any more. Wonder at the world we are building for our kids! What irresponsible parents we are. Compare to our parents and we are almost negligent in the society we have built for them - despite all the corporal punishment in our days, we had funner, safer, more social childhoods. Our kids are smarter, they see more and can do more but also deal with way much more in terms of deterioration.

Recommend the movie for a thinking, discussion rich aftermath. Wipe the tears away first and keep any firearms out of reach until the intense reaction period is done.

G'night!

I saw Mr. and Mrs. Iyer last week and felt creeped out for days afterwards. Truly Karnataka is headed downhill, I DO NOT feel safe anymore, the goons and the "eve-teasers" for sure are encouraged by the govt's apathy.

Ummm....when you get some time alone with better half...try watching a ROMANTIC movie??!!!

I know, I know....romantic seems like the way to go...except that hubby dear's comments end up making a lovey-dovey moment all out hilarious. Kind of takes the ROME out of the moment! :-D
