Grindhouse - Death proof
So very Tarantino - Simple Story, small but powerful characters, mind blowing dialogues. Before you judge anything, I must admit that I am a big TTino fan. I was enjoying each and every scene even when some of them were predictable.I liked Kurt Russell's character. Not to say that I am a male chauvinist but one thing I am sure that his "Icy Hot" jacket truly matched his cool persona and his madness. Its bound to remain etched for long in viewer's memories.TTIno's interests seem to be shifted in favour of the fair sex. After the Kill Bill series, we again find that tough girls are as cool as tough men. With a Lap Dance thrown here and there and some hot n short dresses , it makes for a mouth watering watch(;-) sorry girls). These girls are tough and ready(& capable too) to kick XYZ's a** if he dares cross their path.The movie might also rise interest in a movie called "Vanishing Point(1971 n 1997 edition)" because of the mention of Dodge Challenger.All and all its one more movie from TTino's bag. Must watch for those who are fans and a Must Watch for those who havent checked him out yet.

Dead Poets Society
This became all a more meaningful movie because of my experiences at IIM Lucknow। I like to call this place a "Glorified jail" .
Anyways this is one of the most powerful performances given by Robin Williams। Its a pity that I did not hear about this movie earlier. Ethan Hawke looks like a kid n in fact he is a kid considering the year this movie was made.It explorers an extremely different relationship that a teacher shares with his students.
One of the scenes where Robin The Teacher brings out the best in Ethan Hawke - one of the most shy students of the class - to bring out lines of importance (read POEM) is truly mind boggling.All his methods were questionable according to conventional methods but he never cared. He knew that he had a class to teach and the best way to do that is to involve all his students(interested or uninterested).
But the SYSTEM is supreme and You have to fall in line or otherwise YOU will be forced to fall in line. Luckily this was not the case with Williams until an unfortunate incident took place and The Sys got its chance.Believe me it will be one of the eye openers of your life. It will give you courage to question the set standards. An opportunity to Free Will n Free think otherwise one more reason to submit and die while you r alive.Watch and let ur spirit fly!!!!!!

Two Strangers
Their eyes meet
They dare not smile
They dare not say anything
for the fear of the world
tears them apart;
Their hearts meet
in those small "chats"
which they steal out of everyone's stare
A moment of reprieve
A moment to cherish
Smiles find places to spread
Hearts find places to bulge
Remembering those "chats" that happened
Both souls share a common flare.
Look how she blushes
Look at his grin
all the suitors out there
I have an advice
for its time to leave them alone.
however long your reach
they are far gone.
The question arises
"Why are we strangers"
Is the world to be blamed
Is the situation to be blamed
or are WE to be blamed
Why care for a land
which does not provide space
to two tender souls
The boy musters courage
Today it will be
When he wont care
When he would smile
express his feelings
try evoke a response
Let the world do
what it could dare
The girl risk not take a step
Help indulge the boy in impulses
of the youth
The situation asks for patience.
She dare not slip
and ask for staring whips.
The smile not arriving
The heart trampled by the silent tread
He could read her eyes
and see them plead
Go away
Go away
the time is not ripe
we are better as we are
in this strange land of gazers
Two Perfect Strangers.
They dare not smile
They dare not say anything
for the fear of the world
tears them apart;
Their hearts meet
in those small "chats"
which they steal out of everyone's stare
A moment of reprieve
A moment to cherish
Smiles find places to spread
Hearts find places to bulge
Remembering those "chats" that happened
Both souls share a common flare.

Lady in The Water
It was my third rafting trip.
My leg was injured but my spirits were not to be dampened.
I see the cliff from far away
the tickling in the legs begin
it was to be a fall
a deep deep one
Mustering all the courage i could
walked or rather climbed slowly
tottering my way thru the rocks
The jumping point calls me-
O six feet devil
The end is near.
Just as I was about to fall
Counting 1-2-.........
My heart sinks
My legs fail to carry the body weight
They tremble
and
they scream-
Sit down u loser
Today its not gonna be.
Then I see a lady
With thousand bangles up her sleeves
The Ganges has played rough on the make up
but the smiles fail to fade
Looking at frens n family
she says-
This is the last time i try
If i fail
I will accept I'm a fry.
The devil's mind calls the devil
Here's ur chance
Do it, DO IT and satisfy ur evil
My fingers twitch
My Hands move
and just as she was abt to give up
she loses balance.
Her cries lost in the splashing water
Her eyes trying to locate the culprit
I become part of the crowd
and the mind says loud-
Lady in the Water
Lady in the Water.
the smile broadens
the heart expands
the courage returns
I take a fall
again n again.
